A new name has been mentioned in
connection with the U. s. sepatorsnlp.
1t is that of l.. ID. Harvey, President OF
the Milwaukee Normal School. Mr.. Har-
vey is no tactic mist in the republican
ranks and belongs to neither wing" of
the party. He is not politician in the
sense OF being a manager, but is shrewd
observer of events and keen Judge of
men. His profession has not kept him
out OF the general current of life and he
is In touch with every imoulse of pro-
gress. When his liberal education is con-
sldered, his strcng personality and exec
utlve ability, bis knowledge of men and
extensive acquaintance, his availability
may well cause other aspirants to realize
that there is another Richmond in the
field

NOTES From MAPLE GROVE.

The telephone is gaining in useful
ness though losing in novelty. 1t
will soon be considered as essential
to the we'll being of the town.
The regular meeting of the W. L.
5. was held on Saturday evening.
The debate was decided against gov
eminent ownership of railroads. The
next meeting will be held on Satur-
day, April 2.
The play entitled The Deacon"
presented at Brillion last week was
very good. There was a large and
appreciative audience. Those who
took part in this play, will probably
arrange to have another in the near
future
The last teachers meeting at Cato
was decided success. Twenty six
members and about twenty others
were present. The debate was the
main feature of the meeting. 1t was
decided to hold joint teachers meet
ing With the teachers of Calumet
county on the first Saturday in May
at Reedsville. The program will be
published later
A few candidates for the different
town offices are being mentioned but
nothing like the activity of former
years prevails. 1t is said that it is
tacitly understood among the candi-
| dates that the expensive "electioneer
ing" formerly SO prevalent in Maple
Grove will be discontinued. We hope
this is true and it will be observed
Very often there was nothing left fol-
the official but honor, the salary being
spent before earned. Dlsregardine
this needless expense, and the possible
harm it may do those on whom it i.
expended, this method of gaining
votes is retiectio on the candidate:
personal qualities, which alone should
secure his election; unless of course
the candidate is forced into this policy
by the tactics of his opponent.

THE dignifed attitude taken by the
United States lii the difficulties with
Spain has won the respect of the Europ-
can nations. If war comes and our pres
ent policy is pursued we will have the
moral support of every European nation.
This situation results from the careful
examination instituted to determine
whether there is just cause of war.
Should Spain be held responsible for the
blowing up of the Maine she will be
treated as a guerilla among nations, II
much heavier punishment than would be
inflicted by hasty declaration of war with
nothing tangible to sustain It.

HE idea OF having public library Is
one which 1 have long cherished as a
public blessing and which have ardent
ly longed to see our city possess.
Now that the initiative has been taken
by the Clio club hope every citizen will
recognize how slothful we have been IN
the past IN providing mental food for
our people and that they will use every
Manitowoc shall wipe out the disgrace it
now bears IN being the only city OF any
Importance in the State which does not
possess public library.
The benefits which naturally flow from
such library are so self-evident to every
candid mind that argument on the sub
ject is impossible and attention to it's
usefulness seemingly unnecessary. We
certainly cannot overestimate the advan-
tages that will accrue. The return to
the community cannot be measured by
gold, for gold cannot measure or pur-
chase moral or intellectual worth, the
standard of which public library can
not help but raise,
1t seems to me that nothing can pass
it In Importance to any community.
"knowiedge is power" the power which
will, when more generally distributed,
find the solution for many OF the ve1a-
tious problems which now harass and
annoy us A public library ought to be,
and it can be made the nursery of high
minded, patriotic citizenship.
Good books will unconeciously lead
the minds that read them into safe and
serv1ceable channels and there will grow
up in consequence of such reaGlng a
we'll Informed and useful class of citizens;
citizens in fact as we'll as in name, intel
ligent IN passing opinion upon public
question and deeply interested in good
government, both national and local
The mind will naturally become stepped
in the atmosphere which impregnates the
pages which 1t reads, becoming,
''Subdusd to what it works in
Like the dyer's hand.
1t would be wrong to urge the wor-
ship of Intellectual power alone, but the
reading of good books is capable OF firm
ly establishing character in many of
those who have never had the Influence
OF moral surroundings, creating a foun-
datlon upon which will be reared life
full of moral worth.
The foundation of knowledge is one
where the poorest and hunt est may
enter into intimate association with the
master minds of every age. at "a public
library filled with good books, one may
partake of all the accumulated knowledge
and experience of sages, Of philosophers
of poets and dlvines, of all peoples of all
ages back to the very dawn OF the EARL
est civilization.
We cannot afford to longer neglect
this plain and imperative duty. To do

civilization and progress. 1t would not
only be a source of education to the
young and an invaluable aid to our
schools, but we all could turn to it's

The Sprinfield Republican IN comment
ing upon some criticisms made by The
Boston Pilot on the national hymn, Amer
lea, scores that paper in most effective
fashion, though it is done by suggestion
instead of direct attack. Papers which
seek their clientage among one class OF
people are IN danger of judging human
lty by the limited standard imposed by
their specialized work and unconsciously
become preiudiced. Not all do, but the
tendency is in that direction and it is a
fault OF The Boston Pilot notwlthstand
ing it is a paper edited with marked
ability.

1T should not be made necessary for
any Catholic citizen of the United States
to deny that IN case OF war with Spain
Catholic Sympathy would be with the lat
ter country. The suppositlon is simply
monstrous. No one believe it, no one
who understands human nature or mans
regard for his own interests can seriously
believe any such thing. The statement
WAS made solely for the purpose Of Great
ms prejudice and those responsible for it
are the persons lacking in patriotism.

Will be larger and better provlsloned than

Andree Is so slight that the expedition
may be regarded foolhardy. Ardree's fate
should be a warning to adven turous
persons. Tn ere are no children crying

They furnished an excellent reason for
being represented on the ticket.
