Pekin, Sept. l6-Well posted foreign

China S sympathies a prO.Japanest slant
in the mikadO's armed controversy with
the kaiser over Kiao Chau
At the outset, the Chinese were
thought to be rather pro.German. Fer
haps this was due, however, to hints
that the kaiser might cede Kiao Chau
directly back to China as an alterna-
tive to having the possession taken
fOrcibly by Japan.

From his armies movements it was

Berlin, Via The Hague, Sept. 49,
The Germans have checked the Franco
British allies in France, the war office
announced today.
In many places, it was stated, the
French had been repulsed.
That the allies were sweepingly vie
toriOus, as they claimed, in the battle
of the Marne, was denied. Instead, il
was explained, German aviators re.

of such a discovery.
Its new plans for the western cam

In the east, it was stated, the Russian
invaders of East Prussia we're being
continually repulsed.
General Hinderburg was reported at
tacking the czar's lines of cOmmunica-
ton on the east bank of the Vistula,
with good prospects of creating so much
havoc that strong force of Russians
would have to be withdrawn from Gal
icia to protect their lines to the north
ward.
1t was added that heavy German
invasion of Russian Poland by way Of
the Vistula valley, with Warsaw as its
objective, was contemplated

They Are Asking
For Reelection

The republicans, state and
county candidates, made their
campaign two years ago on a
platform of economy and a re-
duction of expenditures. Take
your tax receipts with you to the
polls" was their slogan, and they
used it with effect.
They were elected and now the
question for the voter to decide
is Have they made good?"
Take your tax receipts with you
to the polls if you have been able
to raise the money to pay your
taxes so that you have a receipt.
Compare it with your receipt for
1912 under the democratic ad-
ministration and then say by your
vote whether you think the re-
publicans have made good their
promises.
The county auditors report
for the fiscal year OF 1912 shows
q total expenditure of S4i0,0i7.-
10. This was under democratic
rule. His report for 1913 shows
a total expenditure of $74O,477.-
55, an increase of $3.50, 460.37 by
the republican administration ov-
el the democratic. In the face OF
this can you say that the repub-
licans have made good their pro-
misses and give them another vote

county attorney two years ago
and being defeated was given a
position as deputy in the asses

is looked upon to furnish the pie
for defeated candidates and party
workers.
The candidates for coroner and
surveyor are both in Office and

virtually telling them that you
approve of the expenditures in
the county and are virtually au-
thorizing them to make still fur
ther increases next year.
A vote for them is a vote fol-
higher taxes, and if your taxes
are not high enough to suit you
you should vote the republican
ticket from top to bottom.

ST. MarieS' Candidate
For Commissioner
ID. FERGUSON STANDS ON RECORD
His Policy While in Office was a Most ECOnOm-
caI Expenditure Of County Money

J.. L. Ferguson, the democratic
nominee for county commission
or from the first district, is
pioneer Of the county. He set
tied on the st. Joe river nearly
twenty years ago and is one Of the
prosperous ranchers Of the val
ley.
By hard work and good busi-
ness ability he has acquired a
fair competency, retired from the
ranch and now resides in this
CITY. He is always ready to in
terest himself in anything that
he believes will benefit his COM
munity. and especially anything
that he believes will help to de-
velop the farming industry. When

of the COWS that he could afford

When the company was organ

ognizing his business ability
made him the president of the
company.
He is a firm believer IN the et-
aeiency Of good roads to help
develop a community and to per-
nit the farmer a ready access to
market, but he also believes in
economy in the expenditure OF
the funds of the county and II

by incOmpetency.
He is by no means inexper-
fenced in county affairs as he was
commissioner from this district
two years ago. During the term
which he held the office he gave
to the county one of the most
economical as we'll as best admin
istrations that it has ever had.
He made a commissioner that
the democratic party was proud
of and when the question of a
candidate for the position came
up before the primaries they in
sisted that he run again.
They know that he was a man
that could be depended upon to
do as he promised. They believed
the people had become tired OF
the continued increase in taxes
and knew that Mr.. Ferguson
could be depended upon to keep
the expenditures down, and they
insisted upon his being candi-
date.
His record while in the Office
borore is open to all and he and
his friends are willing and anx-
ious for the people to familiarize
themselves with it and to compare
it with that Of his successors
who are candidates for re-elec-
ton.
The report of the county au-
lditor for the year of 1912, wher
| Mr.. Ferguson was commissioner
shows the cost Of maintenance Of

while in 1913, the first year of
his republican successors, the
total expenditures reached the
enormous sum of $74O.477.55.
These figures are taken from
the auditors reports for the two
years and are official. The tax
payers should familiarize them
selves with them. Cut them out
and paste them in your hat for
easy reference. Study them care
fully and we believe that there
will be no question in your mind
as to whom you will vote for for
county commissioner from this
district.

John NJ. Flynn has made one Of

ever had. He is able and fearless
lie knows neither friend or Zoe

one either to reward or punish.
The rich and the poor, the high
and the low, meet on even terms
IN his courts, and are assured Of
exact justice so far as it lies in
the power of mere man to dis
tribute that attribute.

waite feelings or his ideas as to

that in 1912 there was an addi-
tional expense Of some $4,000 |
for primary and general election
which the republicans did not
have in 1913. Yet with That the
expenditure was $685.
295.42 less than the republicans.
This year the commissioners
have still further raised the levy
for state and county purposes and
have made it i6 mills. This will
raise 1896, 7sO.88, OF $i96,827.4i
more than in 1912.
Does this look as though the
republicans have made good their
promises? Will they ask you to
take your tax receipts with you
to the polls this year? Does this
look like curtailing expenses2
In the face of this record these
very same men come before you
and are asking for a reelection.
Every man on the republican
ticket is now holding a county

deputy. They are all members
of the court house ring which is
directly responsible for this in
crease in taxes.
A. p. Bailey is now sheriff and
he and his small army of depu-
ties are out making the fight Of
their lives to retain their jobs.
R. f. Kercheval and Bert Reed
are candidates for reelection as
county treasurer and Probate
Judge. They, with Potts, Black
and Whitla furnish the brains
of the ring. Reed has held his
office for two terms and the soft
snap and salary would look good
to him for another term.
Acton, the present county as
SCISSOR, is a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Although the collecting of
taxes is being done by the trea-
urer's office, his Office is costing
the county several thousand dol
lars per year more than it did
under his democratic predeces-
sor who had to do the collecting
of the taxes as we'll as the as

terpreting it as he finds it. For
-hese reasons and because of his
knowledge Of the law and its ap-
plication there are probably
fewer of his decisions reversed
han of almost any other district
judge in the state.
His decisions have been 50 un-
formally sustained by the SUI
preme court that attorneys as
we'll as litigants are beginning to
'eel that it is almost useless to
appeal from his decisions, and a
less number of his cases are car
ried to the supreme court than
of almost any other judge.
He also has a faculty Of ex-
pcditing business. He believes
that courts were Instituted for the
purpose of hearing and deciding
matters Of difference between lit
iganis and not for the purpose of
delaying justice. He has no pa
tience with dilatory motions or
pIeadings put in for the purpose
Of securing delay and the It'll
CANT or lawyer who resorts to
these methods is quickly showt
that the court will not permit
them.
1t is the same way in trying a
case. He insists that the atlur-
neys and their clients be on hand
to try their cases at the time they
are set for. He realizes the ex-
pense that the taxpayers of the
county are being put to in the
matter Of court officials and iur-
Tors and he will not permit the
time of the court to be taken up
with frivolous matters OF wasted
by an attorney not being on hand
when his case is called.
One or two fines which he has
administered to tardy attorneys
has done wonders to make them
realize these facts and to make
them cooperate with him in saw.
ing the time Of the court.
For these several reasons the
people of this county should vote
to retain Judge Flynn on the
bench. He has made good and
the people owe it to him and
themselves to re-elect him Tor an

ADIYORCECASE:
How Law Was introduced Into
the Town Of Harmony
BY DONALD CHAMBERLIN

The first transition that came over
Harmony was when certain citizens,
realizing that there must be some
thing Gone to improve the situation, or
ganized town government and estab-
lished a court. The latter was opposed
by some on the ground that it would
stand in the way Of finding out "who
done things" But the conservatives
said that it was not their object to
bring in all the devices lawyers use to
obscure crime, but to have just citi-
zen judge who should tell the jury
what kind of verdict to bring in.
This was considered we'll enough in its
way, and Jim Simpson was appointed
city Judge. Jim kept the supply store
of the place and had once sued man
for defamation of character. His
knowledge of the law acquired at that
time was all there was in the town.
A young graduate of an eastern law
school who had gone west to grow up
with the country, hearing that Har-
mony had established a court, deter
mined to settle there. His reception
was not cordial A number Of citizens
who had patiently endured certain
wrongs. finding that they had a lawyer
willing to right them, concluded to
have them righted by legal process.
This rendered Mr. Cartright, the attor-
ney. unpopular, the wag Of the place
asserting that his coming had deprived
the town Of the right to its name.
John Burrage and his wife had lived
together peaceably for twenty years.
They had had their spats and got over
them, finally settling down to that con-
dition common between most couples
who have learned to work in double
harness-that is, their chickering's, when
they occurred, which was not often,
were not considered Of much impor-
lance. But one day after the organic
ing Of the court and the advent of the
lawyer Mrs. Burrage had headache
or toothache, which is worse, and
