Chicago democrats have nominated Carter H. Harrison for mayor again, for the fourth term. The bill to allow circuit judges SSOO additional salary, where their circuits is composed of two or more counties, was signed by the governor and becomes a law. This swells Judge Hanley’s salary in this circuit to $3,000 per year. At the meeting of the county board of education in May a new truant officer will be elected, and in June the township trustees will meet to elect a county superintendent. The trustees stand 7 republicans to 6 democrats, and the superintendent elected will hold the office for four years. We understand Supt. Hamilton will be a candidate for re-election, and there will probably be other candidates for the place. Howard county has something new in the line of tax receipts which might well be adopted in parts of the state. The Kokomo Dispatch describes them as follows: These receipts are different from any of former years, as the result of a suggestion of Deputy Auditor Benson. On the back of them is printed a table from the rates of taxation for the towns and townships and city of Kokomo. This devise answers many practical purposes. The treasurer escapt'B a myriad of questions, and the receipts being tiled away serves as a reference for years. This is the only county in the state using this form. Deputy Auditor Benson has a further improvement for next year. Three lines will bo added, one for the amount of personal property, the second for the assessment of real property, the third for poll tax. When the taxpayer thinks he has paid too much, knowing the amount'of his assessment, he has but to multiply their total by tho township or city rate and add the poll tax. He can tell at once if a mistake has been made. Some inquisitive people who have it dinned in their oars that the war in the Philippine Islands has long been over want to know why the transport Sheridun is about to take one thousand or more soldidrs to Manila. We are still maintaining a large military and naval force in our “new possessions.’’ As our soldiers become worn out in tho unfavorable climate of the Philippines they are brought homo, and others are sent to take their places. This makes a large transport system necessary, and there is no prospect that there will be a surcease of this heavy expense for years to come. The situation is not at all charming for us; but our Government cannot claim that it went into the conquest of the Philippines vith its eyes shut. Tho example o i resistance to what was regarded as an usurping power had stood for more than a hundred years. What are we getting for all tho trouble we have taken, and what are wo likely to get? We have a largo standing army in time of alleged peace, and a burden on our conscienco that ought to keep us awake many nights.—Cincinnati Enquirer, f

THE JUDY SYSTEM.

John F. Judy Replies to the Rensselaer Republican. March 12th, 1903. Editor Democrat: The Republican tries to reflect upon the Judy System a part of the responsibility for Sam Hunter’s crime—whereas, every business man, every man who has an interest in business, or has any business capacity above a laborer feels that it-is a serious matter to be responsible for his agents only—but, to hold a man responsible fqr Ihe kind of an act a man does for which he is discharged, after he is discharged (as several swore on the witness stand) is perhaps a little far fetched—especially does this seem so when every one in the Judy System, or who knows the Systepi, knows that Judy and every one in the System tried hard to train the cutting edge down on Sam. Sam was brought up in a saloon—drank, had snakes and went to the dogs—but, he used no stimulcnts while with the Judy System; he quit the use of tobacco, also. Sam had many good qualities. Sam could live pretty close to the Judy System except where combativness touched. Sam’s good qualities added to what the writer for the Republican now has, would more than double his capacity and make him a superior man. Sam, we admit, wa* too severe, but his sense of justice and honor is high but combativeness in him is abnormal, easily inflamed, and that one faculty is tesponsible for all the enemies Sam has, or has made for the Judy System. This livery stable aflair is like a quarrel or fight—there are two sides to (it. One side under the law could not be presented in court and Sam had to suffer for the other side. I dpn’t defend „him, did not try to, but, knowing Sam as I do, I don’t blame him for his purpose. He was moved by revenge, not by gain. - Knowing him, I know that the ouly reason why he does any wrong is to retaliate. However, he has had his day in court. There is no discount for good acts. The one act only is tried. I undertook to do business on a plan that all my advisers said would fail. That is, to deal with anyone, in fear of none, help all who would help themselves, protect myself against those who would try to beat me. Do more' good and favor than we agreed and treat all better than they would treat us under the same circumstances. Never take a note that we did not intend to give the maker a chance to pay. If We have ever fail-

HAVEN’T YOU INDUCEMENTS FON PURCHASERS EVERY WEEK? Of course, you have. Every live business house has. Then why keep mum about them? Or why talk about them in print one week and keep quiet the other fifty-one? To expect a year’s activity in business witn one week’s advertising is absurd. The most energetic and wideawake houses in Rensselaer make it a rule to set forth regularly the best inducements they can make purchasers. And you find that they use The Democrat because it has a strength with the public which adds weight to every advertisement which appears in its columns.

ed to do any one part of this in any instance, except occasionally the protection against those who tried to beat us and was not quite strong enough, we don’t know it yet, and we defy any man to show that we did not do more than we agreed and never showed retaliation, except by Sam Hunter, which was a personal matter with him. We stand ready and glad to do it yet. . This is a way out that the Repnblican ought to take up to help out the wronged. We are responsible, and any representative of the Republican who will come to us with a wronged man by the Judy System can recover for him and 1 will pay him to show me the wrong done, where 1 have not in all instances with him done more than I agreed. If we are of so little wrong, not worth this consideration, the Republican ought to be more mild. If we do a great wrong or system of wrong we will make all proposed cases so they can be fully comprehended and facts easily proved, providing the wronged party shows up lyith the Republican representative I with all the proofs he has—a challenge we offer that will pay the Republican representative for all work. We promise to be pleasant anil make it a pleasant work—besides being a duty he owes those who have been wronged and himself in doing that which he believes ought to be done when he is offered every help possible besides pay for it. This is no bluff. It is friendly and considering that he is fair and honest in his expression, try one case for an experiment, then try all cases. We will be with you and for

you, if you are right. He faults us for taking hack property. We never take back property until we are made to do it by parties refusing to try to pay or who are starving the stock, which is nearly always at a loss. We lose more than ioo to one of gain in taking hack. Any business man knows that we have hundreds of patrons that we have waited on for 10 years. Many 15 or more years. The Republican would have us to drag a customer into court. Of the obligations held—where the Republican jsserts pail paid down and enormous interest on the balance—every one knows that it is neither less nor more than 8 per cent. Not low interest, but we are always ■ady to stop interest on payment of any part. 1 worked on the Judy System 15 years before I I ad it strong enough, just enough and pracc.nl enough to be willing to add my name to it it represents the busy part and the best part o my efforts for 25 years. I know that no man can comprehend it without help. With tin- few hours that the Republican has studied il from the smoke and dust from the outside only, having no knowledge of the I ii: i e, this is impossible. lie is superior to me in many things, I will admit, but in this I am superior to him. The inferior ran not comprehend the superior. The Republican can no more comprehend the methods of the Judy System than lie can the depth of the rea r o'iing of Sir Isaac Newton, or than an ant could coniprel end the solar system. The Judy System is my child—a boy of my own thought. I know more about him, than any other boy I have brought up. I know that the System is better than 1 am, for only the best of me is in it.

I can not control myself to live up to it in all the rules. I can’t do as well as I know. I believe it better than any man who ever dealt with it, no matter which side of the counter he is on, whether working with it or for it. It will make a man happy and prosperous, it he lives up to and practices methods as good as the Judye System. It is when they do not live up to it, that the hue and cry is raised. There never was a wolf who could not get another wolf to howl with him, though he wore woolens. The wolf that don’t live up to the system to which we bind ourselves to do is the one that howls and makes more noise than the other 999 of the 1,000 that don’t. But we can’t make outside people who don’t deal with us or those who try to beat us comprehend us or understand why we do more good than we agree. We don’t expect it. It don’t hurt me to be vilified, condemed; there are many chronic kickers who develop the habit to a perfection of sneering, carping, grumbling and criticising. The higher up a man rises in his line the better display ‘ad’ for the kicker. The man who is anybody or who does anything is surely going to be criticised, vilified, and misunderstood. I don’t care to be severe On the Republican when he knows little and I know much. It is easy to bear it without resenting when we know that we comprehend the situation better than any other. This security and strength makes us feel a little justification foi the thousand of things we have neglected to do. Our regrets are for what we did not do for others. To feel that we at least superior on this, and the inferior can’t comprehend the superior and that we have a retreat where no man can reach. “Eagles circle alone.” Vultures may soar aloft and puke, but they usually work in bunches. All men make mistakes; all men misunderstand for a while. The man who makes the most mistakes is the best winner, he has more, practice. If he stays active, he will find that he can’t afford to be a repeater. There are facts behind all acts. Often the actor don’t know them. The Republican should not assume too much grasp of situation far beyond his limitations. We believe the Republican expects to remain in business. We feel a hope for them that the mistakes it makes will be less and less each experience, or else made in higher effort, that each one made will develop the ability to do better on that level, and each mistake, though not always published, will be a stepping stone to advancement and-to better ability. The Republican knows that there are only a few people who do things, and that most

people try to do people. That some people try to do people to do things. \Ve are willing to submit pleasantly as sacrifice to all the Republican can “do” us, for the not unworthy ambition he shows in trying to do things, nor would we treat with contempt the little he knows about us and our 25,000 patrons, but congratulate him on his effort to broaden his horizon in assaulting the lines of his limintations with* the best that that he has. He who puts the best he has in his work should be commended, not condemned. If it is weak, just wait, consistency of purpose will do better. Not how little is he now, but what will he grow to, is the kind of consideration that we owe all men.
