Those having the misfortune to suf-
fer from backache, urinary disorders,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatic
pains, or other kidney and bladder dis
orders, will read with qualification this
encouraging statement by Mineral
Point man
Samuel Terrill, well known business
man of Mineral Point, Wis, says !:
Sometimes my kidneys were too &C
tive and then again they weren't active
enough. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills fixed up this trouble and left me
in good shape. You may use my name
in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. 4"
Mr.. Terrill is only one of many Min
eral Point peaple who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidney bother you,
don't simply ask for kidney remedy
ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,
the same that Mr.. Terrill had the
remedy backed by home testimony.

IOWA COURT RANKS HIGH.

Iowa has just cause to be proud of
her supreme court according to sta,
tistics compiled by the West Publish.
Ing Company's Docket, a law maya
zine. OF all the forty eight supreme
courts in the nation, there are only
six of which the opinions are cited
oftener than the Iowa court.
This record speaks high praise for
the personnel of the Iowa Supreme
court, three members of which are
candidates for reelecaion in Novem.
Der. These three are Scott NJ. Laid,
Silas M. Weaver and w. S. Withrow.
The Docket examined the last five
volumes of decisions by the supreme
courts of eighteen states and found
that the opinions of the Iowa supreme
court had been cited with approval
1,243 times or so times in each state
and little less than IA times in each
volume. OF the forty-eight supreme
courts in the nation the Iowa court
was among the nine most cited and
only six cited oftener. 1t appears
also that in the last fifteen years
Iowa Supreme court opinions have
been quoted from more often than
those of any western state-Sheffield
Press.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-10-28

Judge Winfield S. Withrow, of Mt.
Pleasant, is new member of the
supreme court, having been appointed
to that position by Gov. Clarke in
April, 1918. In the previous autumn
he had been elected as Judge of the
Twentieth District for the fifth term,
Judge Withrow is native of Iowa.
His career as a practicing lawyer
was successful, continuing until his
appointment to the district bench by
Governor Drake in 1896 OF his long
service as judge of the district court,
where for four terms he was elected
without opposition, and of the appre-
citation in which he was and is held
by the people whom he served, the
Burlington Hawkeye says:
Southeastern Iowa has not been
represented on the state supreme
bench since the days of Judge j. NJ.
Beck of Fort Madison, quarter of a
century ago. until the appointment OF
Judge Withrow last year
Judge Withrow having resigned his
seat on the district bench to enter
upon the duties of the higher court,
Is entitled to election for full term"
IF the voters throughout the state
knew Judge Withrow as well as his
district constituents have known him
for many years, they would make his
election as unanimous as was done
in this judicial district for four suces-
sive terms when democrats and re-
publicans voted for him and he had
no opposition. That Is record OF
which to be proud. And this judicial
district is proud of 1t because 1t shows
how far above partisan politics the
voters of iiis district have risen on
matters purely judicial, and how ac-
,eptably Judge Withrow met the ex-
eectations of his solid constituency"

ALL ABLE MEN.


Voters, are many of us at sea about
voting for supreme court judges? How
many of us know anything whatever
about the fitness of the candidates?
In case of doubt there's one thing the
voter can do, vote to continue in or.
fee the men already there who are
candidates for reelection. The three
men now in whose names are before
us to vote on Nov. Sd are Scott M.
Ladd, Silas NJ. Weaver and w. s.
Withrow. All are able men, and the
waverfng voter who doesn't know
what else to do is perfectly safe in
continuing the present court. With
row, who is the newest member on
the supreme bench of the state,
should surely be continued. for he is
an able jurist and an able man in
every sense OF the word. Someone has
examined the reports OF forty eight SUI
preme courts in the nation, to find
which states decisions were most Oft
en- quoted. Iowa ranked among the
first nine, showing that the Iowa de-
cisions are sound and we should con-
tinue in office the men who have
made them, the idea in having the
court on nonpartisan ticket being
to get the best men.-Clarinda Herald.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-10-28

Judge Silas NJ. Weave who is
preme bench of the state, is a native
of Chautauqua county, New York.
While still boy he left the home
farm and started out for himself and
after a period in school read law.
Having been admitted to the bar, he
came at once to Iowa, where he has
ever since resided. Except for brief
experience in newspaper work he has
at all times given his undivided at
tention to the law. In 1883 and again
in 1885 he was elected to the legis-
lature and had leading part in all
the important work coming before
that body. In. 1886, he was elected to
the district bench of the Eleventh ju-
dicial district and reelected without
substantial opposition in 1890, 1894
and 1898, resigning in 1902. to take
place on the supreme bench, to
which he had been chosen In that
position his work has come under the
scrutiny of lawyers and all others OF
our people who take an interest in
the judiciary of the state, and the
best test of the service he has rend-
cred is found in the practical unanim-
ity with which the bar is united in
his support. In no other public sta
tion are experience and proved fit
ness so important as in our courts OF
last resort and that such appears to
be the sentiment of the people is in
Dictated by the vote cast at the June
primary. The office has been made
by law what it ought to be in fact
nonpartisan "a and neither Judge
Weaver nor his friends are asking his
retention on any other basis.
His wide experience, ripe learning
and keen sense of justice peculiarly
qualify him for his work as Judge of
the supreme court. The state could
ill-afford to lose the benefit of his
services on the bench
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-10-28

Judge Scott NJ. Laid of the state
supreme court, who is candidate for
reelection at the general election on
November Sd, is of German and Eng.
lish ancestry; was raised on a farm;
took college course; taught school;
studied law at the State University
Of Iowa, and began the practice OF
law at Sheldon, Iowa, in 1881. He so
approved himself to the people as a
man and lawyer that he was elected
district Judge in the fall of 1886.
In that office he was just, impartial
and fearless. He was. withal. pos
sessed Of an unusual knowledge OF
the law and rare common sense which
soon marked him as one of Iowa's
leading jurists. The lawyers agree
that no fairer man ever sa. upon the
bench. They are unanimous that no
judge ever dispatched the business OF
the court with greater expedition,
with greater satisfaction to all con.
cerned, and with greater economy to
the people
The most important litigation be-
fore him while district Judge was that
concerning $4,000 acres of disputed
lands in O'Brien and Plymouth coun-
ties. His decisions in this litigation
were approved by the state and ma
tional supreme courts.
Judge Ladd's record as a supreme
court judge in Iowa is found in sixty
volumes of the Iowa reDOrtS His de-
cisions evidence his deep learning,
his untiring industry, and his rare skill
in applying the law to the facts. He
has done his full share in eleyating
the Iowa tribunal to the front rank of
American courts of last resort Tested
tried, and found not wanting, no one
yet has suggested a reason that he
should not continue his term of hon.
orable service for the state.

You can't put your finger on any

years but that it received the votes Of
democratic members of the legislat-

tive council shall constitute the state
board CT review.
Sec. 1379-It shall adjust the valua-
ton of property of the several coun-
ties. ADDING TO or DEDUCTING
FROM the valuation of each kind or

chapter.
Sec. 1305-All property subject to
taxation shall be valued at its actual
value, which shall be entered opposite
each item, and shall be assessed at

assessed value shall be entered in a

John T. Hamilton makes the argu-

had no right to adjust valuations by
adding to" but should only have done
so by "deducting from" values as re-
