Anybody familiar with official
dom in Washington will know that
a man to be success must be
gentleman of course, but always
somewhat OF aBohemian and fami-
liar with the rules that govern the
"very best society in Europe"
Washington is not missionary
town-not by long sight and at the
city is not devoting all its time to
Sunday school picnics and clerical
ice cream socials: Nor do the sena-
tors, diplomats, and officials as
rule take very active part In similar
virtuous enterprises. When in Rome
howl with the Romans, when in
Washington take your wine draw to
a Husband be convivial is good
diplomatic rule-that is if you have
an axe to grind.
We believe that Hawaii has an axe
to grind and for that reason we are
not persuaded that Castle is better
man than Hastings.
Without drawing strongly on our
Imagination we can realize couple
of senators whose "pull" and vote
are OF great Importance adjourning
from the poker room at - IN IN.
Says one who is disposing of fat
purse into his capacious pockets;
"Nice fellow that little chap from
Hawaii-Wha'sh his name2- Hast.

Rather liked him-Let ush see about
Hawaiian question -to-morrow-Nice
people down there e-Send a commits

But, heavens, let us imagine the
chill in that senatorial poker room

The attempt in the House OF
Representatives by some native mem
bers to amend Mr., Dole's land act
so that only persons who have taken
the oath to the republic can obtain
homesteads is truly characteristic Of
the spirit OF the time. The native
members thought it was about time
that the obstinate natives tthe vast
majority we're ~hipp d into line
Mr.. Most and other anarchists
always propose to whip the
capitalists into line by blowing them
up. 1t is fortunate for society that
Mr.. Most and the Hawaiian mem.
bers in the House represent nobody
and that the world will move on in
spite OF their propositions to rub
it in"

The resolution Of Senator Schmidt
asking for a committee to investi-
gate what's the matter with biz has
not been received favorsbly i'll the

perity as she enjoys to-day under
the paternal government OF Dole.
We have heard the rabid crowd, and
the faithful generally, shouting
themselves hoarse in praising the
republic (and its salaries), and we
have read Armstrong Emmeluth's s
earnest appeal to 10000 American
farmers to come here and bring
their capital to these wonderful
isles, and then comes prominent
merchant, poet, and Senator and
ruthlessly destroys the dream and
declares that biz is depressed and
that it will take himself, McCand-
less and Wright to find the remedy,
And that fact makes us even more
depressed, Herr Schmidt.

The LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF SENATE.

The Senate went into session this
morning with all its fifteen members

ance was transacted: the chief
amongst which was the asking by the

the appointment of W. X. Castle as
Minister TO Washington for further
time to report Then came the

and Mr.. w ii. Rice seconded that
Messrs, Bolte, Allen, Wilder, p. 9.
Jones aud c. Brown be made the
unanimous choice as they had the
highest number of votes. Baldwin
moved and McCandless seconded
that Kennedy be substituted for

chairman of the Union party, BY
a fresh ballot it was decided by 9 to
6 TO substitute j A. Kennedy's name
for that Of w. F.. Allen. The Senate

The matter OF sending fit repre-.
sentative to Washington is OF great
Importance. We would like to
know, though, what is the mission
of the man who is TO go there.
Whether the republic desires to
have the usual formal representa-
tive situated near to its good and
great friend Cleveland, or whether
the minister is to appear in the
duplicate role OF lobbyist and
wirepuller md an ordinary diplo-
mat is question. In fact it is intend
ed that the Hawaiian Minister is
honestly going to pull the legs OF
senators and representatives in favor
OF annexation, or is it intended that
be simply is going TO appear at otfi-
cial functions and eat his dinner
under the Hawaiian Aag9 That is
the main point at issue. The fitness
Of the two candidates must be de-
cided on these lines. And which Of
them is the best adaptedl

Thurston's tongue, The Star, at
which the morning paper points a
scornful finger and stigmatizes it as

have naught of Castle, but believes in
the position and salary being given
to Frank Hastings. Both papers
have good words for their respective
candidates and polite abuse for the
other man.
The Advertiser regrets conde

no fault Of his own, knows nothing
about Hawaii, but states that Castle
was born here. The Star shruga its
editorial shoulders and regrets that
Castle, through no fault of his, was
born here and states that he knows
nothing Of Washington.

THE announcement that game
of football was to be played between
teams of Mineral Point and Darling
ton last Saturday, at the latter place,
seems to have been mistake, rs all
our football experts deny having
played. Strict inquiry, however, re-
yeals the fact that there We're some
parties claiming to be fromthis city
in Darlington on the day mentioned,
representing themselves as football
players, and persuaded the Darling
ton team to line np against them.
Unauthenticated reports say that,
lest their mouths might give them
away, the pretended representatives
of Mineral Point conducted the game
by signs and gestures, and actually
imported n student of the Delavan
school for deaf and dumb to act as
captain and give the signals. Dar-
lington's team treated the affair ms
a "sure enough game, and its play
ers are happy in having scored toto 0

For Snow.

sSouthwest Wisconsin, OF Linden:
A few days ago the Pick and Cad, OF
Shnllsburg, contained an article re-
tlecting on n. Snow, OF Mineral Point.
The point made against him was to
the effect that he, rs agent of the
Mineral Point Zine Co, was the
enemy--the natural enemy--of the
miners Of "drybone.' Later We oh
served the same reprinted IN the
Highland Press with comments
rather adverse to Mr. snow and his
company,
Now, gentlemen, we are Obliged to
say that we believe Mr.. Snow to lie d
staunch and loyal friend 60 the min
ers Of this section. We believe that
he and his company are the best
practical friends that they have.
1t is easy TO find fault And it is
the modern fashion to curse every
employer Of labor, and every firm
and company who are buyers Of raw
material. II is n fashion that II as
foolish ms II is vicious. II Is TO be re-
membered--it ought to be remem-
bered--that the market for the pro-
duet is the factor that controls.
The Mineral Point Zine Go. no
doubt desires to do business at
profit. 1t is reasonable to be ealcu-
lated that such liz the case. In
time Of rising values II must make
enough to offset losses incident to ~
period of declining values. II must
make interest on its plant. All that
is business only. RI IL did not so do
il would speedily become insolyent
We have no particularly soft words
for the Jones Bros, but decent ro-
gard for the truth eompels us to say
that they have done this section OF
the country effective service. They
bought the plant at Mineral Point
when it was dead failure. They
have poured forth money like water
In changing, perfecting and adding
to II. They have had loss after loss,
but they have held on despite all i'll
fortune. They have made home
market for our drybone-eyen that
Of low grade. And IN return they
get probably as much abuse as profit.
We do not believe that they merit II.
As to Mr.. Snow, we can truly say
OF him that we have always found
him TO be man Of exceeding fair
ness and candor, and one entirely
Just and truthful. II would take n
lot Of evidence to cause MS to believe
that he was the enemy of labor-the
robber of working men. or course
his business as agent for zine COM
panies is not exactly IN the line OF
philanthropy. He goes out to make
and not lose, but that does not make
him minion of monopoly. On the
contrary, his work in the true, just
sense is Of practical beneiicence 70
miners generally.

Among other interesting features
Of the Milwaukee papers incident to
the seni-centintenial celebration
last week, we find reprinted from the
Journal of Oct. 10th, 1915, the follow
ing mention of pioneer citizens of
this section Of the state:
Judge Charles Dunn is in the city
on visit to some of our lawyers.
Moses NJ. Strong, that active young
politician and lawyer who lives at
Mineral Point, is III town on law
business, and wants it distinctly
understood that his name is not
Marshall Nj. Strong.
William r. Smith, one of the best
lawyers and mostpolished gentlemen
in the territory, comes in from his
home at Mineral Point to attend to
clearing up land titles. He came
here in 1888, and still adheres to the
custom Of wearing his hair in queue
in the eastern fashion.
Gov. Henry Dodge, who succeeded
Gov. Nathaniel T.. Tallmadge as
governor orthe territory was expect
ed here today, but n man who came
in on horse back says that the party
was delayed by broken axle in the
woods near Prarieville.
James II. Earnest, a lively young
fellow, who is raising a good deal OF
mineral down near New Diggings,
rode his buckskin mare into town
yesterday, and when he left her at
the tavern told the hostler that if she
was not we'll treated she had brains
enough to tell Of it. The two things
that Jim is proud Of are that Ken
tucky mare aud his own feet,
Col. Peter b. Parkinson, one Of the
veterans of the Black Hawk war, is
here selling some fine Morgan colts
which he raised on his farm near
Mineral Point. Mr.. Parkinson comes
pretty near being pioneer. having
settled in this territory in 1927, and
he tells great many interesting
stories about how things were when
the country was new.
