A WORTHY JUDGE.

In another column of this paper
appears an article in reference to
the candidacy Of Judge Silas S.
Richards for a second term as a
member of the Court of Appeals of
the district composed OF eight
counties, including Wood county,
and the only judge of that i'm
portant court who does not live
in Lucas county-the other two
judges being residents of Toledo.
Judge Richards resides in San
dusky county and his opponent
also Republican-resides in To-
ledo.
The editor Of the Journal has
enjoyed a personal acquaintance
with Judge Richards for a long
term of years, going back to the
days when we were boys together
attending the Perrysburg public
schools.
1t was our privilege to serve as
clerk of the court during a por-
tion of the time while Judge Rich
ards was serving his first term, and
we are pleased to have the oppor-
tunity of recommending him to
the readers of the Journal and all
citizens, as most capable and
worthy of continuance in the
high office he now holds.
1t is not a matter of politics as
Judge Richards is running on a
separate ticket Cor Judicial) while
his apponent is also a Republican.
A vote for Richards is only a
fair acknowledgment of a capable
and worthy official who is entitled
to second term.
This is not an advertisement but
a personal endorsement of a capa-
BILE official.

forces them by his success to acknowl-
edge that he has found something they
never knew about. This originality,
this power and this intense egoism
mark him as man of original thought
and to think is to act. He dominates
everyone about him yet at the same
time maintains that each individual is
law unto him or herself. His clashes
with those assembled about him go to
the making of story which holds the
audience at tense grip throughout the

STILL WORKING ON
THE CRICKET TUNNEL

Cricket, Nov. 28.-Work of
changing 500 feet at the east
end of the big tunnel here into
an open cut will be completed
by December Is. This tunnel
has always given the Iron
Mountain railroad a great deal
of trouble, but it is fixed per-
manently now. Nearly all is
brick arched. The 500 feet
changed into an open cut was
loose ground and had to be
supported by timbers.
