To Order at 1922

1t was just 11.22 when Chairman
Harding brought down the gavel.
His call for order brought almost
immediate response and the aisles
were ordered cleared.
The convention stood in silence as
Monsisnor Francis G. Kelley read the
Invocation.
Chairman Harding was ready to go
on with the next business but the band
began. Rock of Ages" When through
the first bar, however. the band lead
err saw he was out of order and stopped
it.
Credentials Report
MIR. Harding then called for the re-
port of the credentials committee.
Senator Smoot, the chairman, came
upon the platform to make the report
and was applauded. The report, recon-
mending the seating of 9s7 delegates,
was read by the senator with list of
the decisions in contested cases.
The reading of the report was
lengthy affair. At its conclusion, Sem
ator Smoot moved the adoption of the
report. There was no objection. A
rolling chorus of Ayes" put it
through.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was then adopt
ed.
Ovation to HARDING
Senator Harding was presented as
permanent chairman and there was
quite a demonstration.
Repeated whacks of the gavel only
increased its vigor. The delegates rose
and the cheers rolled louder.
1t was the longest sustained demon
stration of the convention so far En-,
nally the crowd quoted and Mr..
Harding thanked the convention for
Its approval.
The report Of the rules committee
was next, but it was not ready and at
the chairman's reuest the band started
up again while awaiting the report.
The chairman stopped the music to rec
ognize Senator Smoot again for a sup
Elemental report from the credentials
committee.
1t proposed to give votes to the six del
egate from Hawaii, Porto Rico and the

AEENT TIE JUD IE SHIP.
To the Editor of the Pilot:

Mr.. Schmidt and some of HIS sup
porters are urging the retirement Of
Judge kirwan on the ground that he
has had the Office long enough, and the
writer has thought it proper to call
the voters attention sharply to the fact
that it has become the well established
policy in this state TO re-elect Judges
who have served the public impartially
and intelligently. AS evidence of that
fact it may be stated that one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court has sat
on that bench 25 years after having SER
we'd on the Circuit Court bench I
years, making 81 years Of continuous
service rs Judge, and he has recently
been elected to serve still another term
as Justice OF the Supreme Court. An
other Judge Of the Supreme Court ser.
we'd from 1855 to 1892, upwards of 36
years. Another Justice of that Court
has served 20 years after serving 7
years as Circuit Judge, making y
years of continuous service. The
present Judge Of the 5th Judicial Cir
cult has served 33 years. The Judge
of the l4th Circuit retired voluntarily
after u years of service. The Judge
of the 3rd Circuit has served 25 years
ard has just been reelected for an
ether term. Many other instances
might be cited 10 show the policy OF
this State. Even Municipal Judge
Schmidt said in his Campaign for re-
election in 1913 over his own sigma
ture:
1T Is without doubt greatly
for the peoples interests as a
whole and in accordance with
sound business principles to re-
elect the sitting Judge. Pre-
cedent in " ,sconsiu is over
whelming on the side OF re-
electing Judges and keeping
the Courts out OF politics" :"

This is the last opportunity the Pi
lot will have to call the attention o.
voters to the judicial ticket. A facsi
mile of the ballot will be found in this
issue on page I.
The name Of Michael Klrwan is the
first in the list in the first assembly
district and second in the list in the
second district.
To vote for him cross must be
placed in the square to the right OF
his name.
Do not be satisfied with voting for
him yourself but see that your neigh
Dor does also.
Again the Pilot urges all friends OF
Judge Kirwan to get busy and stay busy
until the polls close on April 4 and see
that no votes are lost TO him through
apathy or overconfdence.
1t will be an honor to Manltowoc
and Sheboygan counties to have Judge
Kirwan reelected and no effort should
be spared to bring this about.

JUDGE KIRWAN FAIR
THE GERMANS.

Judge Kirwan is the brother law
OF the late John Nagle, and it is well
known that the judge and Mr.. Nagle
were very much in accord on political
and social questions. The Review
quotes below from an article written
by Mr.. Nagle when he was the editor
OF the Manitowoc Pilot, and it may be
safely assumed that Mr.. Nagle reflect
ed the sentiments of Judge Kirwan as
we'll. Mr.. Nagle said:
"No one can appreciate the sturdy
character of the Germans, their liber-
alty, good fellowship, and freedom
from bigotry, unless he mingles with
them. No man, no matter what his
nationality or his creed, can ever say
that, socially or politically, he suffered
at the hands of Germans because OF
his nationality or creed. But to one on
the outside the appeals Of the demago-
CUES TO the dominant race in this coun-
try naturally cause prejudice which
Is wholly undeserved so far as the Ger
mans are concerned. Their societies
are wholly different from those OF 9TH
or nationalties. Nationality is no bar
to admission. In all social relations
there is an inborn courtesy which pre-
vents any reflection on his nationality.
The outsider who mingles with them
is not made to feel that he Is a tres
passer. He is received openly and cor
s..;,y, ang, .,t.- ,,oes 40. iGti al NOME,
it is his fault"
Could anyone have written more
appreciative estimate of German char
acter? Those who knew Mr.. Nagle
have not the slightest doubt that he
was sincere. 1t is equally true that
Judge Kirwan feels as kindly towards
Americans of German descent as did his
brother. in-law Mr.. Nagle. And who
can doubt that he is as fair to people OF
one class as those of another? What
more can anyone justly expect? Un-
der such circumstances is it not repre-
hensible to dig up the nationality issue
and Try to use it against him? If the
writer knows the German character,
and he believes he does, the German
Americans will not only not fall in vi b
those who are trying to get their votes
by such methods, but will strongly re-
sent an attempt to place them in a
false light.
Mr.. Nagle said: "No man, no matter
what his nationality or his creed, can
ever say that, socially or politically,
he suffered at the hands of Germans
because of his nationality or creed"
That is a high compliment to the
fairness and liberality of those OF Ger.
man descent, and can they afford to re-
fuse to live up to that estimate? The
Review Simply can not bring itself to
beiieve that Judge Kirwan will suffer
at the hands OF German-A americans.

WHY CHANGE?
aid.

A person who presents himself as 8
candidate to the voter does expect that
the voter has the inherent right to ex'
anime his qualifications, and to note
whether or not he meets the required
standard.
This being conceded, let US proceed
to what the Municipal Court of Manito-
voc County represents: It's a Justice
Court pure and simple with it's juris-
dicton somewhat increased, but the
practice and its rules remain Justice
Court.
If that is conceded, let us refresh
our memories and recall to our minds
the persons, towit: Adolphus Hudson
and Charles Kind of Gibson; j. G. Nc
Carthy of Kossuth; Peter Stoker Of
Franklin; Esrom Knapp of Cato; Will
liam Boettcher of Centervile; Mr.. Ty-
ler OF Eaton Fred Sch mitz of Newton;
Felix Walsh of Two Rivers; and John
0 Hara and p. w. Wiebold of Manito-
woo City.
Having these gentlemen in mind, if
we undertook to examine their dock
cts, we would find that they tried and
heard as many important cases as are
now tried and heard in our Municipal
Court. II that fact be true, and with
due respect to their memory, let US
ponder whether any one OF those gen
temen would deem himself qualified
for the office of Circuit Judge because
he occupied the position OF Justice Of
the Peace. These facts may be ancient
history.
II so, let us live in the present, and
let us examine and note that our friend
Mr.. Hubert Falge, has heard and tried
cases in the Municipal Court, but he
not only did that, but was clerk OF the
Circuit Court for eight years, and JUS
tice in his ward for many years. No
man dares to question his educational
qualification or his literary attainments
and his experience in life, Still we
venture TO say that his modesty would
prevent him even to assume that he
has the necessary qualifications to sit
as Judge Of the Circuit Court. II that
be true, what is the measure to guide
us In our choice?
Judge Schmidt tells US that he Is an
orator and an able lawyer. To the

JUDGES SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT.

RETAIN A WORTHY JUDGE.
This is country in which the people
rule and it is therefore necessary that
the people study the nature and needs
Of every branch of the government.
There is DO division of our state or ma
tional government which is more i'm.
portant than the judiciary. From the
very nature of the duties of judges
they must be wholly independent Of
politics or anything else which might
prejudice them. 1t is for them to mete
out justice and while person might
be Just and owe his election to party
or particular class, there is danger
that his motives may be questioned.
The United States constitution makes
very careful provision to insure the in
dependence OF the federal courts. The
Judges are appointed for life or during
good behavior, and their salaries may
not be diminished during their contin-
uance in office. In the state the judges
are CHOSEN Tor long Terms, ana tnere Is
no provision in the constitution which
prohibits the legislature from increas-
ing the salary Of judge OF the supreme
and circuit courts during his term Of
Office. The terms Of justices OF the SUI
preme and circuit courts have been in.
creased, the one to ten years and the
other to six years. The purpose of
all such provisions is to make the judi
ges independent.
Where .ae terms OF judges are limit
ed, as In Wisconsin, the people are
given an opportunity to retire weak or
bad judges, but the people will not
promote their own best interests or

former we take no exception, but to
the latter, we ask him to enumerate
the contested cases he tried alone,
either in Justice Court, County Court,
Circuit Court or Supreme Court; or,
let him give us case of some import
auce wherein he either drafted a COM
plant, answer or demurrer, or argued
a case of some Importance before the
Judge of the Circuit Court. If he fails
above named, then let Us ask ourselves
where does he stand as peer to the gen.
tlemen above enumerated? Is it be-
cause he received sheepskin from the
law school of Madison, or won orator..
Cal honors? Let US ask ourselves this
question: If Judge Schmidt is compe-
tent to fill the Circuit bench, why
should he not be competent to fill the
Supreme Bench? Or let US put it
thus, and it is for us to guess: If a va
cancy should occuc in this Circuit,
would his oratorical ability, or because
he was Municipal Judge, be considered
by the Governor to fiji such vacancy,
or would the Governor first search the
records to find whether or not he was a
lawyer in fact as we'll as in name?
What has the voter to say about
Judge Kirwan? He came from the
farm, selfmade man securing life
certificate, teaching county and city
schools, being the first County Super-
intendent who put the little red school
house on the map in Manitowoc Coun.
w, and who forced teachers for the first
time to earn their certificates; County
Judge and practicing attorney for
many years before he became Circuit
Judge. In his practice he appeared in
some of the most important cases, and
ainGy- y-g - ry.sv-.". ,uJur. ia behalf Of
the workingman.
Every man has right to be ambiti-
Gus and to make progress, but whenever
he presents himself to the voters, he
must have the qualifications requisite
for the position he seeks, and the vot-
ers have the equivalent right to Judge
whether or not he is capable to fill
such position. There is no friendship
in this office; justice is blind; it hews
straight to the line. And does the
farmer, the laborer, the merchant, the
mechanic, the manufacturer know the
day when he may be called before such
tribunal to plead guilty? If so, who is
our choice? The man who before he
assumed the office was we'll prepared,
ard who by years of faithful service in
that Office is experienced and efficient,
or an untried man who just wants the
office?
"Hold fast to that which is good
says the good book. We have a good
judge in Michael Kirwan. So, why
change? The people of this circuit
ought to have more sense than to trade
sure good judge for an experiment.
We believe they have.

EDUCATIONAL.
tBy G.. w. Meisnest. J
INTERESTS

TEACHERS INTERESTS
AND DUTIES.
1t has not been very long ago that
teachers kept school" in the language
of the district directors but her or his
duties have increased until nearly any
one will admit that the profession has
| its exactions. One of the latest addi-
tions to the teachers responsibilities
is that of being health guardian of the
children under her care.
A leading educator says that it is the
teachers duty to devolp pupils interest
In problems Of sanitation and health as
they pertain to the school, the home
and the country. This educator says
that "the great complexity of modern
life, with its rapidly increasing stress
and strain, demands desirable and de-
pendable habits of both mind and body
for physical vgor and endurance"
The efficiency of the school is not to
be measured by its ability to make ed
ucation easy and to shield the child
from tasks and duties that are hard,
but, rather in its ability to develop the
child's power to meet such tasks and
duties with resolute will and capable
body and mind, thus guaranteeing its
endurance under all the stress and
strain Of life.
Health knowledge must be followed
by health practice. 1t is important to
establish health habits to avoid educa-
tional waste. The nation is what the
teachers make it is the general rule.
There are independent thinkers here
and there who, at the age of reason, set
their own course regardless OF what
their teaching may have been in the
schools, but the average man or woman
follows the line that the best thought
laid down In the school room.
Teaching is an art, however anyone
may dispute it and say that it is pro-
cess which can be followed by any per.
son. There is an Unborn aptness TO
teach which exists in some and not in
Others. 1t is founo in both men and
women and education may have dis.
tnct loss in the fact that for years the
occupation of teaching was so unre-
munerative that men could not afford
to follow it. Even now when wages
are better and positions more perma-
nentthere are comparatively few young
men fitting themselves for the profes
sion Of teaching.
Business and other professions seem
to be more attractive and TO offer
greater opportunities for advancement
yet If statistics were available 1T would
probably be found that the profession OF
teaching offers as many inducements
as any other profession.
