THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIp.

Judge Kirwan who is candidate for
re election as circuit judge of the
Fourth judicial circuit has record for
integrity, honesty, justice, judicial
fairness and mpartiality. Mr.. Kirwan
is one Of the ablest the words "ope of
might with safety be stricken out,)
circuit judges in the state His record
as judge proves that he is signally fitted
for the position.
In the selection of a man for this pos
ition many things must be considered.
He must be man whose mind is broad
and filled with legal lore; man of ex-
periepce; a man whose character Is
thout a blemish: man whose stand
i1g at home and abroal is above re-
proacH. Such a man is Judge Michael
Kirwan. The members of the bar of
Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties
with the exception of Mr.. kirwan's S
opponent) were unanimous in their call
for him 20 be candidate to succeed
himself. 1t is generally conceded tn; t
he has filled the nigh place with honor
and dignity. The only question is
whether the people are sufficiently in
terested to see that a man who has
proved his fitness by proper discharge
OF duty, is elected.
The people of the Fourth judicial
circuit Will act wisely in re-electing
him. They have in him an honest
man, well equipped by experience
for the duties of the POSITION, with hab-
its of thoroughness and conscientious
performance formed early and persist.
ed in unremittingly until they have
become second nature.
1t is almost personal matter with
every citizen of the Fourth judicial
circuit. There should be no neglect Of
duty on their part 1t will be quite as
complimentary TO the abilities of the
voters as to those of Judge Kicwau to
have him reelected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

was unanimous except that Wm Schro-
eder steadfastly refused to vote on ev-
cry roll call affecting purchasing utili-
ty apparatus. On the matter Of mech
anical stokers the utilities committee
was forced to admit that the 3 Jones
stokers they were recommending cost
$4,000 while there were two other bids
at about $1,000 less each for three stok-
ers. They pleaded earnestly for the
Jones underfeed, claiming that the
difference in price is more than made
up IN the quality and type but the at
torney being called on said that the
law requires accepting the lowest bid
answering specifications or none. All
were finally rejected and specifications
will be attempted which will be "op-
en-" and still eliminate undesirable
stokers.
Ballots were cast to I'll the vacancy
caused by the death Of Alderman Ira
Edwards. The race was between Chas
Bouril, John Skubal and Henry Hallock
being "a all" on the fourth ballot and
Bouril |, Skubal &, Hallock 5 on the
eighth ballot. After the sixth ballot
Thorison moved to postpone action and
offer the Sth ballot the motion carried
to 5.
Five city officials had been on a jun
ket looking at boilers and stokers and
had inspected over 40 plants. They
had bill of $40. G. Schroeder insist
ed that the bill Is 'illegal" but he fin
ally made the allowance unanimous.
Thorison held up the adjournment to
get through motion to advertise the
fire chiefs high stopper for sale.
A lot Of business was transacted hut
it took until 1870. w. Schroeder left
at recess.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in double session
last Thursday. One meeting was the
adjourned special paving meeting.
The other was a special meeting called
for six stated purposes.
At the paving meeting part OF the
Street Committee reported that the
attorney had advised them that the
signature of the agent for the &. X n.
w. Ry, Company on the Franklin
street brick pavement petition is not
bindidg on the council Gnder the paw
ing statutes and that in consequence
the council can determine the kind of
paving 10 be laid as neither asphal t
nor brick would have a majority of the
total frontage.
Bigel then introduced resolution
providing for asphalt paving on Frank
lin and 18th streets.
Attorney A. l.. Hougen addressed
the council and insisted that the sigma
ture of the railway agent is binding
and makes a clear majority OF frontage
for brick, leaving the council no dis
cretion as to the kind OF pavement to De
laid. Schellin said he understood the
city attorney to have agreed with this
opinion of Mr.. Hougen in the street
committee meeting, and although fav-
oring asphalt he refused to vote as the

The asphalt resolution failed 9 TO ) and
the whole matter went over to March
10Th. The two large hotels are tigh;-
ing to prevent brick paving in front
of their premises.
In the newly called meeting held IL @
same evening a pumber OF proposals )
were opened and read Offering TO fur
nish the electrical equipment for the
new combined utility station. They
were referred.
Mr.. Gelbke having declined to ac-
cept the position as assistant To the tax
comm ssion, former Alderman Rud-
oiph Goetzler was chosen for the . ace,
Just before the close of the meeting
Schuetze introduced a resolution call
ing on our representatives in congress
to vote for the resolution pending there
to warn Americans that they travel on
armed merchant ships OF bslligerent
nations at their own risk. There was an
impressive pause. The resolution was

was held last Monday.
The Dobbert estate wants refund

sary."

dispensed with.
Mc'Keough was in with an ordinance
taking sewers out of 18th, l4th and 10Th
streets between New York Avenue and
Wisconsin Avenue and putting them
in alleys on the plans of sewer District
ID. This is to save tearing up some
tfne streets. 1t was ordered published
and will be acted on later.
The bid of Hall Brothers of 1906 for
furnishing an automobile for the fire
chief was accepted, it being the lowest
bid. Only Bigel objected, he thinking
a heavier car more desirable. Later
Smugler moved to have it painted red
TO correspond with the fire truck.
The chief wanted bigger car but it
apparently was this or nothing.
The bids for a com bined motor police
patrol and ambulance were all rejected
on the advise OF the police committee
and new plans will be drawn and the
thing readvertised. Schuetze and
Smugler voted mo- to rejecting.
The two ordinances providing for a
side track to run across Franklin and

publication.
The attorney was instructed to try
to find out whether the G. & N. W..
Railway intends to move its main line
track northerly at 10Th Street and if
not to start something with the Rail
road Commission in hurry so as not
to delay the paving.
Kapitz started proceedings to grade
and gravel 23rd and oath streets be-
tween Washington and Franklin, both
at width of 80 feet and they went

COL. HENRY TO TELL
Of FORD PEACE TRIP
Editor OF Jackson Clarion
Ledger TO Speak
At \. vi. C. \.

Two-thirds of the world are at
war, due not to the blood lust of
any people, but as a result of con-
fused thinking, crooked logic, preju.
dice and economic Illusions on the
part of the powerful, to whom the
people blindly entrusted the power
over life and death. This Nation.
founded on Democracy. universal
brotherhood and good will, has an
important and responsible part to
play in this cruel tragedy; it has
undoubtedly the function to help,
bring together the embittered ma
ton and to show the method of OBJ
tanning permanent peace. MIR. Henry
Ford, the great humanitarian manu-.
facturer, saw this responsibility as a
citizen of a country that is privi-
legged to have tried the principle of
federation which above can save
the nations from pernicious war.
He organized and financed the
Peace Commission in the latter part
of 1915. to proceed to the war
stricken nations and, if possible, to
arbitrate their bloody quarrels. That
this Commission did not meet with
success, was not the fault of the
Commission. Europe had broken
into conflagration and it is beyond
the power of any set of men to
quench the fire now. Colonel R. H.
Henry, of Jackson, was a distln-
euished member of this Peace Trib-
unal. sent out by MIR. Ford, and he
will tell the people of Bogalusa what
he saw. heard and observed on this
memorable trip through Europe,
Colonel Henry is known as noted
orator and there is no doubt but
that his coming will be looked for.
ward to with genuine enjoyment.

Expected Any Day This
Week rs Result OF
Muster Out Orders

Over one hundred Bogalusa boys
who answered the call to coiorS
several weeks ago and who last
week arrived at Camp Stafford at
Alexandria are expected home any
day as a result of the order received
by Col. Stubs to muster them out
of service. The order was received
last Friday and just how long it
will require is a matter of specula-
ton. Some say that the troops will
arrive before the Enterprise is out
this week, while others are of the
o)inion that it will require another
week. At any rate they are ex-
pected within the next few days.
;; Bogalusa, which was the only city
in the State to furnish a full COM
pany when the orders came, have
received further honors by the con-
duct of the troops while on the bor-
der. A week ago twenty-five men,
bers of the company returned as
result of having served their three
years as a member of the State
militia but who are subject to call
by the President.
When the troops return they will
have more interesting news to tell
and it is expected that the company
will remain at full force and contin-
ue pride of the city.
