The Madison Journal is doing daily
contortions of clubbing all republicans
and party papers with the honor of be-
ing "bolters" who fail to think and act
on the machine basis laid down by it.
How sincere and consistent will the
Journal appear when judged by its own
standard of two years ago. Then it's
columns were filled with vituperation
and abuse of Governor Uoham for no
better reason than that the Madison
Journal and it's editor were refused the
dictatorship for Governor Upham's adj
ministration. Read what it then said
abou' party independence:
"There are few timid and time
serving republican papers in Wis
consip that are seriously alarmed
because other and more independent
of the party see fit TO indulge in oc-
csssional criticisms upon the state
administration and legislature. The
or respect for the views of these weak,
kneed and frightened patriots. 1t be-
lieves it to be the duty of the republican
press to be fearless and outspoken in
regard to the faults and mistakes of its
own party as well as of other parties
1t is not the duty of party newspapers
to apologize for and seek to cover up,
but to expose and denounce the uninten-
tional mistakes and wilful wrong doing.
A party is made strong, not by hiding
it's defects and errors, but by exposing
and seeking to cure and correct them.
1t is not easy to fool the people. If
mistakes are made they will find them
out. If wrongs are perpetrated they
will be exposed The people want to
know what the official acts of their pub
lie servants are, and then want to see
them commended or criticised as they
may properly deserve. All attempts at
palliation and excuse are looked upon
with disfsvor and distrust. Honest and
deserved criticism is of much greater
value to an officer or an administration
than toadying subserviency and I'M
deserved approval"
How changed is the Journal today!
1t is now Simply disgusting spologist
for official wrong doing ond dishonesty;
a mere ind vidual puffer.
Notwithstanding loud pratings about
official integrity, the Jourel refused to
admit to it's columns a comm cuication
from as true and staunch a republican
as lives in Wisconsin, which proved be-
yond peradventure that Gov. Scofelds
administration, the past year, cost the
people of the state, in the one item of
salaries, between $4,000 and $4,000
more than did Gov Uphsm's last year.
OF this large amount the author of the
communication charges that member
of the governors family drew 81 800 for
which absolutely no service was render
ed. Is that what the Journal terms
"good business administration? ?" Do
the people of Wisconsin consider them
selves fairly treated in this respect?
Does the republican party desire to give
endorsement to this kind of work?

TO THE VIRCQUA COMPANY.

The call we've looked for long has passed.
With hasty firm resound;
Its echoes still about us cast
a spell OF thought profound.
No sooner did the war drum beat,
Nor bugle call float by.
Than a hundred men sprang to their feet
Wars fortunes hard to try.
And now they've gone to face the foe
For suffering rar to stand;
With thoughts commingling pride and woe,
We pressed the parting hand
b ut parting words refuse to tell,
The pride and pain we find
AS victOry's cry and sorrows knell
Arise within the mind.
0 valiant youths, so strong and true,
Defenders of the right!
Most earnest prayers ascend for you,
For safety through the fight.
How many wrongs you must o'erthrow,
How many rights install;
How many dangers undergo.
How many foes appall.
How many hearts so fond and true
alBeat high as hope ascends;
How many fears return anew,
As sorrows veil descends.
How many homes are darkened now,
Because our smile is gone;
And anxious faces tell us how
Is spared the worthy son.
We have no fear that you viii be
Avengers true and grand,
To help to shape the destiny
Of an oppressed land.
Those tyrants to the right must yield,
Step from their tottering throne;
Success to you. brave boys, in field,
And safe return to home.

THAT'S OUR TICKET EXACTLY.

1t looks to republican who thinks
more of party than of men or factions,
as if the fight now in progress in the
party in this state would result in the
defeat of the party at the next election.
Why cannot good, clean ticket be
placed in nomination-a the factions
to be represented so that the party
will be unified, strengthened and made
invincible? There are thousands end
thousands of republican voters in the
state who are thoroughly disguised
with the present political conditions,
who may be Influenced by feeling of
indifference, to refrain from voting ana
thus let the election go by default. A
word to the wise should be sufficient,
and when the convention conyenes, the
delegates should take matters in their
own hands and do that which shall be
best for the party which should not be
sacrificed on account of the selfshness
of few men, who think they are the
whole party.-Rice Lake Leader.

Wisconsin Tobacco Marker.

The movement which began a couple
of weeks ago to gather in the remnants
of the 81 crop has developed into a
rather lively campaign, and some rapid
buying is going on that promises to
clean up the crop in short order The
matter of price doesn't seem to figure
so much either, for the buyers re out,
apparently, to secure as much as they
can and as quick as they can before the
other fellow snaps it, 1t is very likely
that 3000cs or more have been bought
during the week, and very little of it
under cents and great deal of it
oioss to the Sc mark. Several local
packings have changed hands but par
iiculars are not yet at hand. Another
filler boom has reached the state and
dealers are securing about for goods
that cannot be found outside of packers
hands, for which tempting offers are
made.-Edgerton Tobacco Reporter.

Does Haby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and Sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
