SUPPORT WALTER G. OWEN FOR
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
To the Voters of Wisconsin:

To the Voters of Wisconsin:
We believethat the candidacy of
Walter c. Owen for Justice of the Su-
preme Court presentsto the people Of
this State an opportunity to strength
en- that Court and promote the public
welfare. Mr.. Owen has shown him
self to be an able, courageous and fair
minded man and acapable lawyer. For
more than four years past he has dis
charged the important semi judicial
office of Attorney General with marked
efficiency and unquestioned fidelity. He
has never been even charged with the
least faint Of partisanship, bias or
favoritism in the discharge of official
duty. He is in the prime of life and
maintains a sympathetic and under
standing attitude toward modern ten
denotes in legislation and toward all
institutions Of government designed
for the betterment of the whole peo-
pie.
In advocating the election we are
not unmindful of the commendable
rule of re-electing sitting judges, but
considerations of sufficient weight to
create exceptions to this rule have, in
| the minds Of electors, arisen in the
past. In the present election we be-
lieve the exception justified by the
common belief that a Judge of seven
| ty years of age should not be reflect
ed for a term Of ten years, as is re-
fected in the provision of the Federal
Law as to the age Of retirement Of
Federal Judges.
Mr.. Owen is man who is in sym
patty with the efforts of the people,
by laws passed within constitutional
limitations, to make their government
more responsive and more serviceable
to them in solving their present day
problems; a man who is not intolerant
of the views of others when they do
not coincide with his own; and man
who will have a proper regard for the
verdicts of juries, the enactments Of
legislatures, the will Of the people as
registered at the polls, and Of the fu-
ture welfare of the people as attempt
ed to be conserved by laws and consti-
tutions
Judging Mr. Owen by study of the
man and of his public record, we feel
confident that if elected to the Su-
preme Court he will be an exemplary
Judge and add a distinct element of
strength to that important tribunal.

There is more practical side to the
matter: IL Don Ricardo Guzman met

But Dave Law had recognized Adolfo
Urbina in the crowd, and, stepping for
ward, disarmed him, saying:
"Adolfo, there's a warrant for you,
so I'll just take you in
For moment Adolfo was inclined
to resist, but, thinking better of it, he
yielded with bad grace, bitterly re-

prompted him to remain to the end of
this interesting affair.
Tad Lewis gave him some comfort.
"Never mind, Adolfo," he said. "They
can't prove anything on you, and I'll
go your bail. Ed Austin knows where
you was the day that stock was STOLE"
He and his two remaining men moved
toward their automobile, and a moment
later the vehicle went Gathering away

is MOST vEN0MOUs SNAKE
iEehls carInata Of india, Found In
Nearly Every Part of Peninsula,
is Death Itself.

The most venomous of snakes IN
held to be the Echis carinata of India.
1T Is about Is inches long and of gray
color. The creature Is death itself.
and carries In its head the secret of
destroying life with the concentrated
agony of all the polsons.
This snake is tolerably common In
India, being found in nearly every part
of the peninsula.
Fortunately, however, for man, 1t Is
not, like the cobra, house-frequentlng
snake, for its aggressive habits would
make 1t indefinitely more fatal to life
than its dreaded relative.
This king of the asps does not turn
to escape from man as the cobra will,
or flash into concealment like the ko-
riat, but keeps its path against its hui
man assailant, and pitting its IL
Inches of length against its enemys
bulk, challenges and provokes con-
flict.
A stroke with whip will cut 1t In
two, or clod of earth disable 1t but
such Is Its malignity that 1t will In
wife attack by every device at It's COM
mand, stalking its own life on the mere
chance of its adversary coming within
the little circle of its power. At most
the radius of this circle Is IL inches
Within 1t, at any event, lies certain
death, and, on the bare hope of hand
or foot trespasslng within It's reach,
the Echis throws its body into a fig
ure-of-eight coil. Then 1t attracts at
tention by rubbing its loops together,
which, from the roughness of the
scales, make rustling kissing sound,
erects Its head in the center and awaits
attack,

No literary species has had more
unexpected and more unprecedented
prosperity than the novel In prose,
which In the nineteenth century be-
came the most popular Of forms, es-
sayed by many writer who pos
sessed only small share Of the gift
of storytelling. The novel Is almost
the only one Of the literary species
that the Greeks Of the Golden Age
did not develop and carry to a perfec-
ton which is the despair of all later
men of letters. They seem to have
cared little for prose fiction; and
when they had story to tell they set
it forth in verse, inspired by the muse
of epic poetry. Today that forsaken
maiden can find work fit for her hands
only by laying aside her singing robes
and condescending to bare prose-
