The Esmeldro Company, put
the pump on their No. 3 we'll on
the j. A. Campbell lease, Indian
Creek, and it started pumping at
the rate of sixty barrel per day,
or better.
This well created a lot of .ex-
element and a big advance in
acreage in that locality. as it is
new territory and will probably
prove a nice pool of oil.

WHEN, WHERE, HOW?

In spite of the fact that r. S.
Rose put j. c. Bird through an
examination on the first day of
Circuit Court and showed TO
everybody in the crowded Court
house that Mr.. Bird doesn't know
any law there are some who still
say they think he does.
Of course there are some men
who would vote for Mr.. Bird even
if they knew he couldn't write
his name, or recite his A. B. Cs.
J Maybe they are akin to him in
about the 49th degree by bod
or marriage; maybe they expect
something from him should he be
elected; maybe they belong to
the gang and the boss of the
gang owns them; may be they
have had an indictment dismiss
ed, filed away or compromised
against them or some of their
folks"
OF course none of these like to
confess his reason for voting for
Mr.. Bird.
And it's easy to PR OFESS that
they believe that he knows some
law.
Now, you may ague with a
man about a fact for instance,
whether it is fact that Mr.. Bird
does know any law.
But you can't argue with him
about whether he BELIEVES a
thing of not. He is the only per-
son on earth who knows about
that.
Especially is it idle to argue
with man whom, you know
has his mind already made up to
vote for Mr.. Bird, right or wrong,
either because he is akin to him
or for some one of the other rea-
sons we have mentioned and who
is protesting to believe him quail
fled simply because he is asham-
ed to give his real reason.
We have nothing to say to a
man of that sort. 1t is time
worse than wasted; and we have
lived long enough to know the
ualue of time.
But Mr.. Good Citizen. if you
have a sort of half belief that
somehow, some way, and against
all the evidences to the contrary,
Mr.. Bird does not know some lit
tie law, we would ask you this
question: WHEN, WHERE AND
HOW DID HE LEARN 1T?
A man don't go to bed some
night a commissary clerk and
wake up next morning a lawyer,
fit and qualified to discharge the
great and important duties of
Circuit Judge and to pass on and
decide correctly the knotty ques-
tons which sometimes puzzle
lawyers who have studied and
practiced law for half a century.
1t is said that Abraham Lin
coin, great intellect that he was,
read twenty-seven large volumes
just to settle in his own mind
ONE POINT IN LAW. and he
had been practicing law for years
before he did it. Did Mr.. Bird
ever read q law books in his life?
Or is he a greater intellect than
Lincoln?
I
No man was ever qualified to
to discharge the duties of Cir
cult Judge properly without years
and years of study of law books
and years and years of practice
at the bar.
Has Mr.. Bird ever done that
studying or had that practice?
If so, when was it and where
was it?
Mr.. Bird was clerk in one of
the Departments at Washington.
He worked at his desk in that
Department during the day and

FAIRFIELD CLUB
SEEKS ACTION ON
DOUBLE TRACKING
Conference With Manager
Chapman of Connecticut
Go. Set for Today.
Especial to The F'armer.)

Fairfield, March 3-Actlon on the
proposed double-tracking Of Fairfield
may be had within a short time. An
effort is being made to have the mat
ter come before the town meeting
that probably will be held March 10.
Despite the weather 25 members Of
the Fairfield Democratic club gather
ed last evening in the truckhouse at
Southport and considered the trolley
problem. The committee which was
appointed to confer with Manager
Chapman of the Connecticut Co., re-
ported that it had made several UNI
successful attempts to see him, and
it was agreed that another effort be
made today.
The rules governing town meetings
provide that the call must be adver-
tised five days in advance OF the
meeting, and it is hoped that the con-
ference may be held in time to have
the proposition included in the call.
It is the purpose of the committee
to. learn the Connecticut Co.'s atti-
tude on the matter. 1t is expected
the answer will be along the lines of a
statement recently made to The
Farmer, that when the town rescind-
ed a blanket resolution adopted many
years ago, prohibiting double tracks,
the company will begin consideration
of the plan.
The committee will report at a
meeting tomorrow afternoon, to be
held in J. E. Boyle's drug store, Fair
field on the result of their conference,
if they succeed in arranging one.
The meeting last night showed that
the club is growing in enthusiasm.
Members were present from as far
