Greater Vermont association were

sembed between times at hotels and
on the streets talked politics-or
rather, senatorial politics. Senator
Page was on hand carly and sat up

every minute and Governor Gates was
visiting round like a man who expect

The shipment OF dyes from Germany
to this country ought not to be permit
ted unless the Germans are willing to
in clude a little red paint for our two
cent stamps. Evidently these are be-
ing printed from amateur dyes at pres
ent. No two issues are Of even APP
proximately the same shade and the
brilliant bIushing red of year or so
ago has gradually changed to sickly
pink and even that fades unless the
stamps are kept in a dark place
American dye-making is in its infancy
and recent experiences not only with
postage stamps but with shirts, hats,
stockings, printing inks and other
things dependent on color leads US to
believe the progress so much boasted
about in recent months is largely as
vet in the experimental stage.

JUDGE KIRWAN FULLY EN-
TITLED TO RE-EL ECTION.

There is simply nothing to be said
in favor of making change in the
judgeship in this circuit, and the Her.
aid is therefore nightly disappointed
in Judge Schmidt for coming out as a
candidate against Judge Kirwan. How
can Mr.. Schmidt hope to win, if the
voters give the subject any thought?
There can be no fault found with
Judge kirwan on any ground. He is
one of the very ablest judges in the
state. No one could be more conscien-
tious than he. No one could be fairer
than he. No one could be more scrup-
ulously just than he. Possessing in a
high degree all the qualities which 60
to make good judge, and being a
man of unimpeachable character.
Judge Kirwan is entitled to re-elec-
ton; and, if Mr.. Schmidt has the quail
itications which fit him for so import
tant judgeship, he should be one OF
the first 7 ,gnize that fact.
Every in the circuit should
consider the subject carefully, and If
that is done, Judge Krwan will be Civ

In the present judicial campaign a
story has been circulated to the effect
that Judge Kirwan is 81 years OF age
and not naturalzed citizen The
Press would pay little heed to these re-
an underlying principle at stake more
important than the desires of man to
gain office. Heretofore campaigns for
the judiciary in this state have been
conducted on a high plane, and to de-
part from that exalted custom, is to
bring our courts into i'll repute. Judge
Schmidt who is the opposing candidate
OF Judge Kirwan should Immediately
refute these statements, unless he de-
sires them to reflect upon him. He
knows that both are false and to keep
this campaign free of anything that
SINNERS along the lines of mud-sling-
ing, should make haste to declare that
he is in no way party or interested In
their circulation.
Judge Kirwan has lived in Manito-
voc county "a years, all but four years
OF a life time that has been garnered
with years of noble service. His life is

SCHOOL HoUSE.-The vexed ques.
ton as to who should build the school
house-and what kind of house should
be built, etc., and how much it should
cost, has at last been settled by con-
tract, the district having voted an eX-
ira four thousand dollars, and adver-
sised for new bids, since which there
has been considerable strife for the
contract. On Monday night the school
board after consulting with the advis
ory committee, awarded the contract to
Thos. Windiate, Originally from Pom
Tao, Mich, at the sum OF twenty-four
thousand dollars. We think it is high
time that something should be done in
the line of building, as the school
house is very much needed aud cannot
be built too soon for the needs of the
district. Whoever is to build have
none too much time for getting to-
gether the necessary material to COM
mence work by early spring, as it is to
be completed Jan. !, 1913. Mr.. Win
diate seems alive to this necessity rs
will be seen by the following
Notice.
Those having building material on
hand, in the shape of square timber,
dry lumb ber, shingles, brick, stone or
other material, can find purchaser
by calling on Thos. Windiate at the
Windiate House.
