Editor West Virginian:
Dear Sir:-With your permission
wish to thank my good friends in
Marion county for my splendid vote
the high man in the county, only one
ran running up with me, and that
being Lee Satterield. One other
thing makes me feel good, and that
l. the fact | am the high man on my
ticket in the city of Fairmont. It
convinccs me II you will remove the
sherifT's office, the prosecuting attor-
neys office and the man with the
nose glasses and the nlggers and
when l say niggers l don't mean the
colored man, l mean the man who
can't go like Il man and vote without
looking around to see some one be-
fore he votes. Without that l would
have carried the city of Fairmont by
800 majority. l would not have been
a candidate at all only l have the tax
payers interests at heart. A re-,
munerative office would be no in
ducement, but when you see the way
the things are going, it is high time
some one gets busy, especially when
an attorney paid by the town jumps
on man like County Clerk John
Phillips when he is doing his duty.
We think it high time the good citi-
zens begin to look around and. see
where we are drifting. The great
question now is where. are we going
tc end? II we ran $4,000 behind
last year, mathematician, when will
we get out of debt?r ! met one of the
largest property holders In the city
on last Saturday and spoke to him
about purchasing piece Of proper
ty. He says Heffner, you could not
give me any property in this city and
If could would sell every piece of
property I have and get out at once.
We don't think that sounds good.
Now tax payers, let's call 4 meeting,
let's change this commission form OF
government, let's eliminate three OF
them, consolidate the treasurer and
secretary, save $1,4Oo, elect chief OF
police. So the people. who you sec
loafing around will 5have to work IL
they eat. Good citizens, let us not
stop until we make the city office
sanitary. Too many in It to be
healthy for themse YES. and the tax
payers, ut 81 not Nee am afters

JUDGE TAYLOR TO AID IN WORK
Judges Will Ask Legislature to Limit
Time For Filing Claims, the Given
Right to stipulate in Appeals and to
Have Lawyers as County Judges.

County Judge George w. Taylor has
been named as one of the members Of
the committee of the county judges of
the state to have charge of securing
new legislation to better the probate
practice in Wisconsin and at the meet
ing OF the judges held at Judge Karel s
court room in Milwaukee on Tuesday
afternoon, several bills were outlined
sfor presentation to the legislature at
its next session. A bill of great inter
and their settlements is one which pro
poses to change the time limit for the
filing of bills against estates from six
months, now the minimum time, to four
months This will make it possible
to settle estates in much less time
than under the old practice Another
law that has been suggested by the
judges is that in all counties of the
state the county judge be practicing
attorney. At the presetn time in all
counties of twenty five thousand or
over and this includes Kenosha county,
the law provides that the county Judge
shall be lawyer.
6 A close examination Of statistics. !"
said Judge Taylor this morning, ''has
shown that in counties where the
county judge is not a lawyer the ex-
pense of maintaining the office is
much greater than in the larger coun-
les on account Of the fact that the
counties are forced to pay large fees
for appeals taken from the decisions of
the judge. Most states have realized
the necessity of having a lawyer as
county judge and we feel certain
that Wisconsin will meet with this
general movement.
Another important bin proposed by
judges is one that will make possible
the appeal of cases from the county
court by stipulation. There are lot
of probate matters which come before
the county court with the understand
ing that an appeal is to be taken and
under the proposed law the attorneys
in these cases may stipulate in county
court and have the cases taken to the
circuit court without a formal hearing
i'll the lower court. The enactment of
this law would save the counties con
siderable expense and save a lot of
time for the county judges.
The judges took no action to seek a
more equitable distribution of the in
heritance tax among the counties, they
holding that this was law that they
were called upon to enforce and that
for this reason they should not seek
a change in it.

MORE GO OUT ON THE ICE.
Seventy-fve Men Ship for Work at

The ice cutters are getting into full
swing on the lakes of Kenosha county

following the heavy fall Of slushy

WON HONOR IN NATIONS ARMY
Was Among the First of the Kenosha
Men to Enlist. as Member of Com
pany E of the First Wisconsin,
Pioneer of Old Southport Days.

Jerome White, 10 years of age, and
one of the best known Of the Kenosha
county men who served the Union in
the War Of the Rebellion, died at the
Veterans Home at Waupaca on Tues
day after a long illness. Few men were
more widely known in Kenosha county
than Jerry" White.
For the past four years he had made
his home at Waupaca, but previous to
that time he had been one of the most
interesting characters in Kenosha. For
years he had been hearse driver and
he had probably oficiated in this ca
pacity at more funerals than any man
who ever lived in Kenosha.
Mr.. White was favorite among the
members of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public in this and surrounding counties.
He had long and honorable war re-
cord and during his army service he
was connected with many of the most
interesting incidents Of the great civil
struggle.
Jerome White was born in Oneida
county, New York, in July, 1885. He
arrived at Southport on June 10, 1843,
and he Gained this city as his home
until he and his wife. overcome by the
infrmities of age went to the Veter-
ans Home at Waupaca to spend their
declining years.
Mr.. White was one of the first of the
Kenosha men to respond : ) the call for
volunteers and he enlisted on Septem-
Der %, 1861, as a private in Company
E of the First Wisconsin infantry He
was mustered out of service in August
of 1862, and returned to Kenosha, but
when the second call for volunteers was
sent out he again enlisted in July, 1863,
as member Of Company D of the First
Wisconsin heavy artillery. He saw a
great deal cf service as a member of
this company and on February 81, 1866,
he was promoted to the rank of second
lieutenant Of the 50th Wisconsin infan-
try. He was mustered out on June IA.
1865, at the close of the war, and re-
turned to Kenosha.
His wonderfully cheerful disposition
under all circumstances won for him
the regard of all of the men who had
served with him in the army, He was
for years active in the work of the
Fred S. Lowell post of the Grand Army
in Kenosha.
He is survived by his widow who is
living at tn Waupaca Home,
The funeral services were held at the
chapel of they eterans Home this aft
ernoon and, wrapped in tie flag, he was
laid at rest in the cemetery there with
all the honors Of a sol6ier. The widow
will continue to make 1er home at the
Waupaca institution.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric COM
peny MAJ be only submitting to the in
evitable more or less gracefully when
its officials declare that they are ready
for an investigation by the state rail
road commission and then again they
may think that or Investigation and a
report by the commission is the best
way out of the present situation. There
is no question but that there is a bitter
feeling against the company, both In
this city and in Racine and that sooner
or later this feeling will result in an
appeal to the commission. IF there is
a joint demand for an investigation of
the business of the company made by
the two cities it should cover all of the
public utilities operated by the COM
pany, gas, electric light, and street
car service, and be as comprehensive
and thorough as it IS possible to make
it. No half way measures viii satisfy
anybody and unless some Of the dis
puted points such as the right of the
company to operate cars without con
ductors are going to be settled it is
useless to cali IN the commission
