1 i as second-class tnai! matter.
The objection being raised
against Mayor Williams, of Ash
land, who is seeking re-election,
is that the “big fellows v are all
against him and that he is driv
ing manufacturing institution out
of the place. He is a *‘bad. man”
if the Ashland Press is to be be
lieved—and that paper is usually
reliable. But inasmuch as *no
one has ever pointed out where
anyone has paid more than their
just proposition of taxes under
the Williams administration, it
naturally raises the question
among disinterested outsiders,
as to just what is the meaning of
this hue and cry against
the mayor of Ashland. The
question of equal taxation has
been fought in Wisconsin for
many years, and the legislature
has baffled with the problem as
to how to make big. corporations
pay their taxes. A tax commis
sion is maintained at an enor
mous expense to help adjust
these matters. Under ‘the law
no illegal tax can be made to
stand in court, and it is not
likely that any of the people in
Ashland who are raising the
question have been compelled to
pay too much. It is more
likely that they have oeen made
to pay what they i eally should
contribute to thepublic treasury.
And because Mayor Williams
has upheld this class of laws,
and endeavored to shift the bur
den of taxation somewhat from
the small taxpayer to the large
one, he is condemned and some
well meaning citizens would have
him defeated. Or in other words
he has given equal justice to all
classes, and this seems to be a
crime in some minds. Thepleafor
special privileges to a few of the
rich may be all right, but most
fair-minded people don’t seem to
think that way and when such
an issue is raised against a pub
lic servant it simply proves that
such an officer has remained
true to the people—and the peo
pie should re-elect him, as they
. will unquestionably do with
Burt Williams.
The legislature in Colorado
did a very commendable thing in
straightening out the governor
ship tangle in the manner they
did, even if it did require three
governors within twenty-four
hours to reach the result. It
was found that Governor Adams,
the democrat, who held the of
fice, was not legally entitled to
it on account of election
frauds, while there was a deep
seated prejudice against Govern
or Peabody, the republican
claimant, in whose behalf very
corrupt election methods bad
been employed. It was really
impossible to say which man had
the most votes at the polls for
the reason that there were
election frauds of such magni
tude that their exact extent
could not be determined. So
Peaoody was compelled to sign
a resignation before being de
clared elected governor. Then
he was given the office, and after
holding it part of a day hts re
signation went into effect, and
now Governor McDonald, who
was elected as lieutenant govern
or on the republican state ticket
is in office, and is the permanent
governor, and will finish the
ter i McDonald has kept out
of the controversy and was free
from implication in the election
frauds. As he is clean and up
right in every respect there can
be no moral objection to his hold
ing the office. It was a round
about way of doing the thing—
bui after all it was a happy
solution of a bad mess.
Ale remains quiet in reference
to the circuit judgeship, and
Judge Parish will win in a walk.
The candidates against him have
been making but little'headway,
and the result is almost a fore
gone conclusion. The people of
Bayfield comity should support
Mr. Paiish. This talk of Mr.
Alvord bjinga home man is not
so bad, and home men usually
should be supported, but ii the
present instance the voters
should examine into the public
records of these men who are up
for the judgeship and then they
will find that Judge Parish is
the only logical candidate in the
field. All things being equal the
home man should have the pre
ference, but where the official
record of the home man will not
stand scrutiny then he ceases
|to hold any claim on account of
residence to local support. And
that is the case exactly with Mr.
Alvord, who aspires to the
judgeship.
Jack Deitz, the Sawyer coun
ty man, who has held the officers
off for a year, is still enjoying
his retirement, and last week
entertained a newspaper man
and a photographer at his home.
Dietz still holds the fort and will
continue to do so unless a large
party of officers go alter him, in
which event he may be captured.
As the logs of the Chippewa
Lumber and Boom company
must be moved this spring the
matter will likely be brought to
some sort of termination. Dietz
has succeeded in making him
self idolized by many people,
while by others *he is regarded
as one of the worst outlaws
northern Wisconsin has ever
produced.
Professor Salisbury, of White
water, who is a candidate for
the position of state superin
tendent of schools, is certainly
making an aggresive campaign,
and the high endorsements he is
receiving would indicate that bm
is in every way qualified for the
office. But there is so little real
interest in the affair that most of
the voters will make a “a hit and
miss mark on their ballots. He
and Mr. Cary might just as well
lay aside their, “teachery dig
nity” and go out in the school
grounds and shake dice to see
who will hold the job.
Little President Castro, of
Venezuela, has a faculty of mak
ing fusses that are altogether
too large for the small country
he governs. He is constantly in
a row, most of his troubles
seaming.to result frem bad
financiering. He has countless
foreign creditors whom he has
been holding off for years and
they are becoming so impatient
that some of them may take
charge of the affairs of Vene
zuela at most any time. Castro
is almost as bad pay as Mrs,
Cassie Chadwick.
The Iron River Pioneer is
tilled with announcements of
candidates for town offices. If
Iron River would stop bucking
against the progress of the
county by its opposition to the
creation of new towns and de
vote itself to cleaning up some of
the things that ought not exist
there, then there certainly would
be a less number of candidates,
because the fat salaries would
not attach to the different offices.
The public grab bag at Iron
River must become empty some
of these fine days.
Iron River is still agitating
the turpentine factory proposition
and it is quite likely such an in
stitution will be started there.
It will prove a big card for the
place in case a plant is actually
placed in operation.

To the People of the Fifteenth
Jud rial Circuit of Wisconsin.
Over three thousand of you have
shown your continued confidence in
me, after living among you for thirty
years, by making me your non
partisan candidate for circuit judge.
Eighteen years ago when you first
asked me to be your candidate for
this high and responsible office, I
was young in years and in experience
as a lawyer, having then Ir en in
practice but fifteen years. I hesi
t, itt din accepting, until I learned
that my experience was as great as
that of any lawv r in the new circuit.
Men of every political party, race,
religion, nationality, trade, calling,
business and profession, native and
foreign born citizens, have now
chosen me to bo their candidate,
This nomination, so generous and so
unanimous, by the whole people,
with no local, political, religious or
national color or bias, (of law abid
ing citizens), coming without my
asking, with no remark or promise
of reward, with no financial help
from any man or corporation, I ap
preciate most highlv and gratefully
accept.
All the lawyers in every county in
the whole circuit are supporting me
save in two counties weere candi
dates live, and in one of these two
the only lawyer opposing me is the
candidate himself.
Several of the older and more cx
> f
penoticed lawyers who thought of
running, upon that both
the people and the bar desired that
should'continue as judge, joined my
other friends in my support,
When the people and tin lawyers
are sat.sfied with a judge, it is sel
dom a lawyer can bo found to run
against him.
It is to the time honored custom
of the people of Wisconsin of keep
ing experienced judges upon the
bench in their highest courts and in
not experimenting with new and un
tried men. that 1 am indebted to
you for your hearty support.
The result, at the election on
April 4th next, I leave with you, my
fellow citizens, with perfect confi
dence that that you will give me a
larger majority than ever before. I
i remain, Faithfully Yours,
John K. Parirh.

Women are more often afflicted
with Kidney disorders than men,,
but attribute the svmptons to dis
eases peculiar to their sex, 'while
in reality the kidneys are dfranged.
Nervousness, headache, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, pain in
the back, are signs of kidney trouble
that must not be ignored, or a ser

A Woman's Uomplcxio n.
It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallow ness or gre&siness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or “local” treatment, as advocated
by the “beauty doctors.” The only
safe and sure way that a woman ean
improve her complexion is by purify -
‘nig and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution.’ Green’s August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blo*d, purifies the
complexion. It also cures consti
pation, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
h nown to cure \he mosi prenouneed
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
25 cents; regular size 75 cents. At

We, the undersigned, do herebv
agree to refund the money on a 50

cough or cold, We also guarantee
25 cent bottle to prove satisfactory
or money refunded.
