THE ROSTER JOB AND
THE DOODLE BOOk.

The day of small politics il surely
upon us when the vital issues In Wis.
cousin appear to be the " Roster
Job and "1'hc Doodle Book. y We
believe that the politicians who trust
In the potency o! such " issues" will
be doomed to disappointment. The
La Crosse Chronicle states the case
about right when 1t says;
"The roster Job did not cut any
figure in the campaign of 1904,
and the doodle book and other
peanut issues will cut none this
year. The roster talk was exactly
of piece with the doodle book
about Governor Scolleld, dishon-
est In It's use and malignant In Its
purpose.
The state was In no danger of
losing dollar by the roster job
the moment Governor Peck UNDER
stood IL. The moment that Cover
Scoheld was aware of the hoAry
abuse of the doodle book he put
an end to 1t.
Such political issues are better
calculated to invite the contempt
of good citizens than To appeal
to thoir vengeance.

The Milwaukee Journal, In It's issue
of Sept II, dwolls upon the fact
that there IL no free silver, Chicago
platform enthusiasm among the Dem
ocrats OF Wisconsin. The Journal
says:
of there il any free silver, Chicago
platform enthusiasm, II should appear
In the congressional conventions.
What IL the fact? Nine have been
held. Two years ago, not one OF the
conventions could have boon induced
to meet and adjourn without giving
expression TO thoir adhesion To the
Chicago platform, The delegates
tumhled over each other In their en-
thusiasm for the new doctrine. How
Is IL now? Two rejected resolutions
endorsing the Chicago platform; one
other went further, the Eighth, and
adopted ~ resolution which would
have been two years ago enough to
throw II outside the Democratic
ranks, The others have avoided d.
rect expression by adopting the state
platform, taking the Chicago plat
form second hand. Even this conecs-
sion IL made under the regularity
idea.
The change Is too great and glazing
to escape notice. Either these dole
gates representing the party through
out the state have changed and modi-
fled their opinions or they are play
ING possum to gain the favor OF "
recognized public sentiment IN the
party adverse to the Chicago plat
4 that -
free silver dogma has lost ground
and that the fact Is recognized IN the
the party.
The Democrat heartily welcomes the
change. The free silver dogma, rs
The journal remarks, has indeed lost
ground. And why? Because Gold
Democrats the able editor OF The
journal included refused to sub
scribe to that dogma ut the bidding
OF the Napoleons OF finance who sud
denly sprang up throughout the land.
In view of the marked and wide
spread change, II was unwise, to say
the least, for the leaders Of the party
TO; disregard the warnings of Gold
Democrats, although they were still
without the camp, and to insist upon
an endorsement Of the Chicago plat
form by the state convention. u was
a pledge OF renewed allegiance to
principles which should never have
been enunciated by Democratic con-
vention. These leaders misiudge the
temper Of the people, rs they misiudg.

London March S.-A factor which
must be taken into consideration in
the purchase of ships is, it is said
that any government has the power
to take ships building for foreign gov
ernments for its own use at the last
moment Great Britain upon several
occasions has done this.
The Standard to-day publishes a
long article, comparing the navies OF
the United States and Spain, and says:
Some indication of the extent Spain
is prepared is afforded by measures
adopted to protect Havana harbor
against surprises. With the f1otilla of
torpedo boats which joins the Viz
caya and Almirante Oquendo there be-
fore the end of March, the squadron
under Admiral Cervers, composed Of
the Alfonso XIII. and the Marie
Theresa, with two second class sruisers
and torpedo boats, will be reinforced
by the battleships Pelayo, Charles ".
and Christopher Columbus, accompa-
MED by three destroyers and three tor
pedo boats. The fleets thus brought
together in the West Indies are de-
scribed as representing all the avail
able naval force for foreign service
and it will be entirely modified. Some
old ironclads which were recently re-
fitted will be utilized in guarding the
coasts of the peninsula"
Sir George William Des Voux, for
merly governor of the Bahama ISL
ands, and more recently governor OF
Hong Kong, in an interview to-day
on the Far Eastern crisis, said Great
Britain ought to Immediately seize
the opportunity of expressing cordial
sympathy with the United States in
her efforts to secure autonomy for
Cuba.
The time, he said, was opportune to
express the determination Of Great
Britain to aid the United State with
her fleet against an yattack upon her
coast This, Sir George Desvoux adj
ded, would prevent war with Spain and
would make general the American
sympathy with Great Britain which
was now only partial. This, he con-
cIuded, would be enormously to the
advantage of both nations, while also
assisting in the solutio nof the Chinese
question He remarked in conclusion
that such an opportunity Of "anneal-
ing the two nglish-speaking nations
may never recur."
