In our last weeks issue wo published
a communication relative to tho candi
dacy of Judge R C Orr for district
judge of this district This communi
cation was handed us just as tho forms
wero ready for tho press and hence wo
had no timo or spneo for comment
Whilo wo fully endorse all tho writer
snid about tho judge and his candidacy
wo feel that much more could bo justly
said commendatory of Judge Orr For
four years he has filled tho exalted po
sition of judge of tho district courtof
this thol lth Judicial District and we
venturo to say that no judge in tho
state has given closer attention more
careful consideration and more univer
sal satisfaction to tho business of his
court to his litigants and tho bar than
has Judge Orr and has maintained with
moro dignity courtesy and learning of
the law than has he One of tho most
noticeablo features of bis regime as
judge is tho very fow cases decided by
him which havo been appealed to higher
courts and tho very few cases that have
been reversed and especially so in cases
whero corporato interests havo been
arrayed against the people That rail
roads other corporate interests of state
aro opposing Judge Orrs renomination
and will oppose his election is the best
evidence to the people of hiB district
that tho peoples interest is and will be
safo in his hands and they should see to
it that ho is again placed on the judicial
bench of this district His past record
of four years as man and jurist his keen
legal perception his rapid but careful
manner in disposing of business before
him his kind courteous manner to all
who havobusines9 in his court his stal
wart and loyal republicanism added to
tho farther fact that ho has never been
an office seeker tho position of judge
which ho now occupies being the only
office ever sought by him in the state
with a residence here for twenty one
years certainly points him out as the
proper person to succeed himself on the
bench in this judicial district There is
an unwritten law of all political parties
which custom has made almost actual
law that when an officer has served his
constituency well and faithful he is en
titled to a second term and with the
judiciary we believe that when the right
man is found there should be no change
from the established rule Imperial Re
publican
The above from the Imperial Re
publican lays particular stress upon the
statement that Judge Orr is entitled
to another term because he has served
one successfully In a former article
the Imperial Republican attempted to
make good political medicine for the
judge because of the judges splendid
record and because the judge is the
peoples candidate The Tribune had
to correct in the interest of facts both
of these misstatements and now it be
comes our duty to correct the misstate
ment as to the matter of terms of office
held Judge Orr has bad two terms as
much as President Roosevelt has had
two terms One term by appointment
to fill unexpired term of Judge Norris
and one term by election This fact of
holding the office for two terms should
be sufficient grounds for urging the elect
ion of another The Imperial Republic
an has not yet cited facts warranting the
people of this district to sidestep the
established two -term rule In fact
none of the claims so far set forth by the
Republican will stand scanning the
facts being invariably to the contrary
The Republican is guilty of using very
old and very silly political methods of
attempting to fool the people some of
tho time if not all the time
The primary system which will have
its first try out with the people of Ne
braska September 3rd puts the matter
of selecting candidates for all offices up
to the people How well they will dis
charge their great opportunity remains
to be seen The Tribune hopes they
will rise up to the dignity and import
ance of the great occasion
Carlylo on Webster
Thomas Carlyle who once met Dan
iel Webster at a friends house at
breakfast said This American Web
ster I take to be one of the stlffest
logic bluffers and parliamentary ath
letes anywhere to be met with In our
world at present a grim tall broad
bottomed yellow skinned man with
brows like precipitous cliffs and huge
black dull wearied yet unweariable
looking eyes under them amorphous
projecting nose and the angriest shut
mouth I have anywhere seen A droop
on the sides of the upper lip is quite
mastiff like magnificent to look upen
it is so quiet withal I guess I should
like ill to be that mans nigger How
ever he Is a right clever man in his
way and has a husky sort of fun in
him too drawls In a handfast didactic
manner about our republican institu
tlons etc and so plays his part
A Candidate for Re nomlnatlon
I am a candidate for re nomination to

support of all voters in the republican
party feeling confident that my record
as sheriff during the past two years war
rants my ambition to be re elected and

for another term H I Peterson
I am a candidate for the office of sheriff
of Red Willow county and seek the sup

000 manuscripts Its royal founder
collected from all nations their choic

of his successors went so far as to re

wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts of JEschylus
Sophocles and Euripides When Ju

greater portion of this library was de
stroyed by fire It was later replaced

Cleopatra by Mark An tons But it

fighting Bob
Fleet Commander
view of the present delicate sit
IN uation In the relation between
the United States and Japan the
assignment of Rear Admiral Itob
ley D Evans to command the fleet
that is to cruise In the Pacific means a
high compliment to that officer and an
expression of much confidence in his
discretion and ability Admiral Evans
has had more experience as a fleet
commander than any other rear ad
miral on the active list He is familiar
with conditions in Pacific waters as he
was commander-in-chief of the Asiatic
fleet for two years a part of this serv
ice being during the period of the
war
Fighting Bob has earned his sou
briquet He was one of the heroes of
the attacks on Fort Fisher in the civil
war receiving in that engagement four
severe rifle shot wounds He was in
command of the Yorktown at Valpa
raiso Chile during the period of
strained relations between that country
and the United States and it was his
course at this critical time which gave
him his title of Fighting Bob He
helped vanquish Cerveras fleet at San
tiago and has rendered exceptional ser
vice in his later career Soon after his
return from the far east in 1904 he
was asked by President Roosevelt to
take command of what was then the
North Atlantic fleet and which com
prised but eight battleships The re
organization of the naval forces on
the Atlantic coast and the establish
ment of the Atlantic fleet placed six
teen battleships and a considerable
force of other craft large and small
under this admirals command The
men of his ships have been hard at
work In tne practice of naval ma
neuvers in athletics of various sorts
which have been specially encouraged
by Admiral Evans and in other activi
ties pertinent to their calling so that
It is believed the general standard of
the branch of the service under Fight
ing Bob was never so high as now
Admiral Evans was born in 1847 and
was not quite eighteen years old when
the assault on Fort Fisher in which he
participated took place in 1S65 He
has described the affair vividly in his
book entitled A Sailors Log Rem
iniscences of Forty Years of Naval
Life dwelling briefly and modestly
on his own part in it A portion of the
story is as follows
As we approached the remains of tho
stockade I was aware that one particular
sharpshooter was shooting at me and
when we were a hundred yards away he
hit me In the left leg about three Inches
below the knee The force of the blow
was so great that I landed on my face In
the sand I got a silk handkerchief out

ance of my classmate Hoban SandsTboh
stopped the blood and again went to the
front as fast as I could
About this time the men wero stumbling
over wires which they cut with their
knives they proved to bo wires to the
torpedoes over which we had charged but
they failed to explode My left leg seem
ed asleep but I was able to use It The
stockade or what remained of It was
very near and I determined to lead my
company by the flank through a break In
It and then charge over the angle of the
fort which now looked very difficult to
Qlmb I manage to get through the
stockade with seven others when my
sharpshooter friend sent a bullet through
my right knee and I realized that my
chance of going was settled I tried to
stand up but it was no use my legs
would not hold me and besides this I was
bleeding dreadfully and I knew that was
a matter which had to be looked to
Later his sharpshooter friend took
another try at him this time nipping
off a toe and injuring his foot and
ankle This angered Evans and he
put in a little gun play on his own ac
count My bullet went a little high
he writes striking the poor chap In
the throat and passing out at the back
of the neck He staggered around
after dropping his gun and finally
pitched over the parapet afld rolled
down near me wiiere he lay dead
LIppincotts relates that when Evans
was a captain on one of Uncle Sams
big dogs of war he was once hastily
aroused in the middle of the night by
a lieutenant who informed him with
much perturbation that the ship was
on fire close to the powder magazine
If that be so said Fighting Bob
rising leisurely to put on his clothes
we shall soon see to It 1
The lieutenant went back to the
scene of danger but shortly afterward
returned and said You need not be
afraid sir The fire Is extinguished
Afraid thundered Captain Evans
What do you mean by that sir I
never was afraid In my life Then
looking the lieutenant full In the face
he added Pray how does a man feel
Fir when he Is afraid I need not ask
tow he looks I
