"a fourth division OF the circuit
court is suggested by the bar. and it
may be needed. but far more to tho
interest Of the masses of the people
is the demand for competent ef-
ficiency court to try the small cases
involving less than thousand d0s-
lars, such as the municipal court
proposed two years ago. The great
mass Of litigation now is about mat
tcrs involving less than $1,000, but
the incompetenCy and traveSty on
justice usually met with in the aver
age Justice OF peace trial hinders
rather than promotes the prompt trial
and transaction OF business in mat
ters involving $500 or less and the
circuit courts having on ghree terms
a year delay anG .aers speedy
trial In the eve the losing party
is n poor MAJ ole TO give appeal
bond from justice judgment, he is
bound by no matter how unjust for
he cannot appeal without giving
bond. If one had the municipal
court it would always be open. pro-
cess returnable in ten days, speedy
trial granted and appeals allowed di-
rect to courts OF appeals or supreme
court. No professional jurors; no iE-
competent judges; and the cost OF
the system would be far less than the
present justice system-in fact, thou
sands OF dollars would be saved to
the people and great satisfaction had
in the speedy and prompt adjudica-
ton Of the cases.

stone indeed who would not be moved
to smile at the nerve of arguing that
because a holy bunch Of cheap
schemers made a man their third
choice and he won out even after all
that, that he ought TO let them tell
him what to do. Perry ought to
throw down Lewis Randolph who
was his loyal supporter from the be-
ginning, who made him his first
choice, and he ought TO do It at the
behest Of a bunch Of would-be pie
biters who did not in fact support
him but probably wero for him in
the general election because they had
no other chance and because they
thought he would not win anyway.
I'll bet my last years straw hat
against Chuck Deals chances OF be-
ing named as Minister to Liberia by
Harding, that Perry Brubaker got
more democratic votes than all the
votes Of Chuck Deal. Jee Gosh, by
Gum and all their feeble influence
was able to rally for him. Perry
Brubaker is a Republican; he was
not on my ticket. and did not vote
for him, but he is my personal friend
and am his, and It is very gratifying
to me and hundreds of other demo-
Gratis who were loyal to their party,
as well as those who were not loyal
and who may have voted for Perry
to see him take hold of his high Of
flee for which high honor he is in
debted 10 nobody but the people, and
make such a fine start by appointing
young men OF such high standing and
ability and whom We know have the
courage TO do their duty and who
like their chief will not be controlled
by any set OF two-by by-four-would-be
bosses. The enforcement OF law and
decent government is not a political
question to the good citizen. II is a
matter of common desire by all who
favor good government. and / believe
Perry Brubaker with these two splen-
did young men to help him will en-
force the law without fear or favor,
and il he does he ought to have the
support of every good citizen in this
county. and am sure he will have It.

1T beats the world how ungrateful
governments generally are to its saw

tory Many young fellows went
across the seas or into unhealthy
camps and are now manned or other
wise disabled for life. Disease got
hold Of thousands and Otherwise ro-
bust young fellows are feeble and ia
able to earn living. The intentions
Of our government are no doubt Of
the very best and already the laws are
quite liberal in the provisions for such
cases, but unfortunately many incom-
petents are put into places in the ad-
ministration Of the law. and others
who are themselves grafters, or act
uaily enemies and prejudiced against
the claimants. l read the story the
other day Of a young man who had
been allowed a disability claim OF $40
or $50 a month. but for one specious
reason or another it had been delayed
from month 10 month until he had
actually become an object Of charity
Another who was ordered to report
to a hospital but when he got to the
city whore the hospital was located
found the doctors and superintendent
away at a ball game or something

time on expense just TO get an inter-
view with the superintendent who
then ordered him admitted and an
operation to alleviate his suffering. l
