OBITUARY..

kee, a former resident of this county
passed away in that city at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Katherine
Koge, early Friday morning, Jan 2lst.
She survived her husband only four
months he having died Sept 26- 1915.
she was broken-hearted over his death
and pined away, using up in short
time the forces Of a sturdy constitution.
Mrs. Taugher whose maiden name was
Bridget Howley came to this coun-
try from Ireland in the year 1858 at a
tender age. She had one sister and
four brothers, who have all gone be-
fore her. At first she settled in New
York, and later came to Manitowoc
where she met Anthony Taugher, to
whom size was married in the Village
of ST. Nazianz July 18th, 1860.
Her nature was most amiable. To
meet her meant to admire her kindly
disposition, which on further acquain-
tance ripened into feeling which is
called love. Her domestic life was
marked by devotion and self-sacriice
to her husband which was remarkable
while her unseldshness in the care
and love of her children was constant
and cheerful.
Her life was gentle, but like the
still waters it was deep. In her heart
of hearts she carried those she loved,
and her hand was never weary, her
step never failed in ministering unto,
caring for, waiting upon those who
were in any way dependent upon her.
The end was peaceful as the close Of
a beautiful summer day, when day
light fades into night with increasing
loveliness. May her soul rest in peace.
She is survived by three sons and
two daughters, Rev. Thos. E. laugh
er, Drs. j. Z. and A. j. Taugher, Mrs.
Catherine koge, of Milwaukee, and
Mrs. John Earles of Seattle, Wash.
Her funeral was held on Monday from
the Gesu Church with interment in
Holy Cross cemetery. The funeral
was attended by Rev. j. b. Smith,
Geneva Lake; Rev. l.. l.. O'Reilly,
Mineral Point, Rev. Jos. j. Ryan,

Vile, snd the Rev. Fathers Reidl and

en-, Mrs. Lillian Davies, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Mulverhill of Chicago; Mrs.
Michael Hussey of Waukegan, Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen Galligan and Mrs.
John Cleary of Kenosha.
Mrs. Charlotte Rayfeld died at her
home on Washington street Sunday
afternoon, aged II years. She was
born in Germany and came to this
country with her parents when child.
She was married in 1857 and lived
with her husband on farm in Newton
up to two years ago when they remov-
ed to this city. She is survived by her
husband and eleven children. The
children are John, Charles, George,

of Springfield and Herbert of this city,

THE CIRCUIT JUDGSHIP.

A. Fl. Schmidt, Judge OF the munich
pal court of Manitowoc county, has an
nounced that he will be candidate for
the office of Circuit Judge. In his an
nouncement he says
Lately very kindly suggestions, that
| be candidate for Circuit Judge at
the spring election next April for the
term beginning in 1917 and ending in
1923, have come to me. Responding,
thereto, have concluded to permit the
use OF my name and to become candi-
date. | shall be pleased If my candi-
dacy appeals to the people and most
respectfully and earnestly hope that [
may be favored with the support OF all
my friends and the people of Manito-
voc and Sheboygan counties in general
irrespective of party, assuring them
that shall highly appreciate their as
sistance."
There is neither cause nor occasion
for the friends of Judge Kirwan to get
alarmed over Mr.. Schmidt's candidacy.
Judge Kirwan who is candidate for
reelection deserves that endorsement
and the belief is very strong that he
will be returned. He has occupied the
bench for seventeen years and he has
made capable, honest, upright Judge.
The large measure of popular approval
l.; Ln hus hppn
a tribute to his combination of human
qualities with the legal learning and
acumen necessary to the wise and
righteous administration of the law.
He is broad in his sympathies and fair
in his decisions.
There are judges whose rectitude OF
intention is fashionable, but whose
technically is an obstacle to equity.
The record of Judge Kirwan on the
bench of the Circuit Court shows that
be is not OF this class, but that, while
strong in knowledge of the law, his IN
innate acquaintance with the facts OF
life-his sympathy with humanity
leads him to give statutes the broad in
terprtation which avoids undue harsh
ness and takes heed of the admonition
that the letter killeth while the spirit
giveth life,
AS a result OF continued good service
Mr.. Kirwan has won the appreciation
of the people of his circuit. The per-
sonai following that is among his as
sests has been earned legitimately on
the bench, and not gained 10y the arts
of a politician in the activities OF the
campaign or in the ''fence building

itself
Indeed we all know we'll Judge Kir-
vans personal worth and take pride
in his literary achievement, his pro-
found knowledge of the law, his ster.

tion. The fact is the Fourth circuit is
fortunate in having judge so credit
able. His opponent should not only be
defeated but squelched at the election
in April.

At the coming spring election which
is held in the month of April: the
voters of Sheboygan and Manitowoc
counties will again be called upon to
elect Circuit Judge. The present in
cumhent, Hon. Michael Kirwan, has
held this office for the past seventeen
years, and during that time he has not
only won the respect and appreciation
of the people of both counties but
deservedly so in the fullest measure.
His career as Judge and his condnct OF
the office are above reproach,
Judge Kirwan possesses in every res
pect the qualifications necessary for
that high office, which he SO con-
scientiously fills; he also has the
necessary knowledge of the law and is
absolutely impartial in his decisions.
AS Judge he knows neither friend nor
foe, his single aim being that justice
prevail.
The voters of the two counties are to
be congratulated upon having man OF
Judge Kirwan's type on the bench of
their circuit. This position has an i'm
portant influence upon the morals and
welfare of the people of the circuit.
The position of Circuit Judge is not a
political one and politics should play no
part in the filing of the same. AT the
election every voter should ask himself
the following questions; Is the can
didate honest? Is he impartial? Is he
qualified? If so then no reason exists
why change should be made in the
incum bency of this important Office.
1t is rumored that Judge Kirwan
may have an opponent at the coming
election, yet we are confident that the
voters Of the circuit will certainly re-
tain the present able incumbent in
that position.
We have for many years observed
Judge Kirwan's conduct of the work of
the Circ1it Court and it is pleasure
to give him this commentator. We
are further imbueG with the firm hope
that the voters of the circuit too will
give expression to their recognition Of
Judge Kirwan's work by giving him a
large vote at the coming election.
