Judicial ballot II is most important
part of the ballot. The supreme Judges
who shall be elected are to interpret
the laws of Iowa. They should be
tried men Of the highest repute as
1urists and citizens, and without en-
barrassing alliances. Two are TO be
elected
Two names on that ballot are
familiar to all and known and honored
from one side of the country to the
other as upright and highly capable
jurists-Judges Deemer and Evans.
They have been tried and tested.
There is not one argument to urge
against their reelection. On the con-
trary there is not an argument that
might be properly advanced in favor of
a candidate for supreme judge that is
lacking in their favor
Friends and supporters Of Judge
Theophilus. Of Davenport are making
a desperate effort to land this COM
paratively unknown judge on the su-
preme bench. That Judge Theophilus
is more fitted for the supreme bench
than any other judge in any other dis
trict OF Iowa is not however in EVIL
dence. That he is pretty good lawyer
and had a successful practice IN his
city may be said Of practically every
good lawyer in the state. That he has
displayed any peculiar talent on the
bench over that displayed by other
district judges is not OF record. He
seems to be the ordinary type repre-
scented by the average lawyer or judge
IN Iowa.
Some or the ineistence that he be
elected to succeed a proved and pre-
eminent man like Deemer OF Evans is
in itself proper to consider as an added
reason why Dsemer and Evans should
be retained. Unfortunately he has
heen classed In letters sent out urging
support for him as one Of the "trusty

Lake City Man Devises Scheme to

Lake City Graphic: A West Main
street householder discovered that
the tile drain from his cellar was
|hopelessly stopped up. A ditcher es-
|timated that it would cost in the
neighborhood of sixty dollars to dig
|up the drain and put it in good or
der. The householder thought a
while. Then he procured galvan-
lied iron tub and had Frank Hum
phreys put a door with a latch in
the end of the inverted tub. Then
he fastened the tub securely over the
intake of the drain and was ready
for business-pretty near by. He
thought that all he lacked now was
one or two good stout ordinary barn
rats. He secured from an Elm grove
farmers boy a pair caught in a fig
ure trap without injury, at a cost
of $780,, He placed the rats beneath
the washtub aforesaid and furnished
them food and drink daily for eleven
days, when they disappeared, having
dug out the drain so that a flushing
of city water completed the job, and
all at cost of less than four dollars.

ST. JAMES HOTEL
CHANGES HANDS
J. W. Schroeder Will Succeed H. N
Beck as Landlord Of
Hostelry.

The st. James Hotel changed
hands yesterday and passed from its
former owner and proprietor, H. N
Beck, to j. w. Schroeder, who will
at once assume active charge of the
hostelry.
The st. James is located on east
Second street and has been in opera
tion under the present management
for the past four years. 1t has been
run on the European plan. The
place has enjoyed a steadily grow.
ing patronage and is without ques-
ton a good financial proposition
Mr.. Beck and family have not as yet
decided their future plans, but hope
to remain here. They will leave
their present quarters in the hotel
within the next few days and give
place to the new landlord, who will
at present make no changes either in
the arrangement of the hotel or in
the method of running the same.
Mr.. Schroeder was literally
brought up" in the hotel business,
for his father was hotel keeper,
and Jake possesses all the require
ments Of genial and painstaking
host. The hotel will continue to be
known as the St. James.
