people within its boundaries who dc
not sympathize with him in his ambi-
tious desire to go to Congress. We
are among this number, believing
that the interests of the Republican
party can be better subseryed by the
nomination of another.
The nomination of no man as the
standard-bearer of the Republican
party in this district for the forthcom-
ing campaign would give such wide
spread and universal satisfaction as
would that of Hon. II. B. Warner, of
this county. TO the credit of Mr..
Warner be it said that he does not
seek nomination and the prominence
given him by the press as a candidate
has been wholly unsolicited on his
part. lie is well and fayorably known
through the state, as we'll as the dis
trict, as Il gentleman of answering
integrity, capable, honest and true.
one who impartially discharges every
trust reposed in him with u fidelity
never excelled; of humble parentage
and limited opportunities he is thor
oughly conversant with the struggles
and privations of the masses, and new
er having entered the charmed circle
of wealth and corporate influences
which are aiming to control national
legislation in the interests of favored
classes, his sympathies are naturally
with the common people.
The unsolicited endorsements al
ready given Mr.. Warner in different
parts of the district are highly COM
pllmentary to him, and are an indica-
ton of the high esteem in which he
is held. as he Is not engaged in con-
Quoting a ''literary bureau" or pull
ing wires for political preferment.
He is just such man as the people
not professional politicians--desire to
represent them in Congress, and the
Republicans of Pierce county will con.
suit their own interests us we'll as
those of the party by the election of
representatives at the primaries who
will favor the election of delegates to
the Congressional Convention that will
be as true to Mr.. Warner as he has al
ways been to the people. We believe
that the rank and file of the party in
this county honor him for his unspot-
ted record as Il public official, as well
as for his genuine personal worth, and
that they would rejoice to see him oc.
cupy seat as their Representative in
our National councils. Then let them
see to 1t that the Pierce county dele
CATION to the Eau Claire Convention
are for the nomination of Mr.. Warner;
that it is constituted Of men known to
be true to him, instead of these who
profess to be his friends, but who hay
ing political axes to sharpen can be
too easily persuaded that it is their
duty to support the Black River Falls
banker and lumberman.

what he has done yesterday or what he
will do Tomorrow. but by what he
does today In taking up a study the
pupil should understand why he does
so, and what benefits shall be derived
from it, and then he will take hold
with a better wiH. For instance. a
class in Arithmetic is beginning Per-
centage. A good subject for the first
lesson would be, ''The Importance of
Percentage--Why it should be stud-
led" 1t should be a part of our study
and business to unlearn what errors
have been taught to us, as well as to
gain knowledge of better things.
This must be before the mistake, or it
will become a habit; for the early i'm
pressions on chiId's mind are very
strong. They grow up with us from
our infancy, and SO cling to us long as
we live.
