THE FOREIGN BORN VOTERS.

Pioneer Press: The Scandinavians and
Germans of Minnesota and other states
who voted against Bryan because they
had a clear perception of the calamities
which would follow the adoption of his
insane theories as the basis of COVER
mental action, were coolly informed by
him in his Des Moines speech that their
vote went as it did because of a lack of
intelligence. Last time we were de-
feated," he declared, by the votes of
foreign-born voters. We had a majority
of the native born citizens. The for
eigners could not understand the issues.
They did not know much about the sill
yer question, and we could not get liter
ature out to them"
To the mass of our foreign voters the
idea of cheap money in any form-es-
pecially of a ffty-cent dollar to be used
in ~defrauding the creditors of the gov
eminent and in paying off savings bank
depositors in return for 100-cent dollars
was entirely repugnant. Bryan knew
this; and his assumption of a superior
intelligence, looking down in pity on
their ignorance, is not apt to placate
their already ~unfavorable opinion both
of him and his platform.

CAN'T BLUFF 1.-THE KIDD

There is considerable discussion in the
state press W. an adverse report
given Il local bank at Stoughton by Bank
Examiner Kidd, who, from the facts
presented, has kept strictly within the
law in dealing with the concern, and
sought only to protect the public
against the seeming careless use of de
positors' funds. From the official report
it is quite evident hat the capital stock
of the bank became impaired, and after
repeated efforts to have the officers cor
rect the abuse, they either refused or neg
lected to comply with the demand. Mr..
Kidd then published, officially, the facts,
as his sworn duty compelled him to do.
With the exception of a local paper
published at Stoughton, and Prof. r. B.
Anderson's "Amerika," issued from
Madison, the state press has heartily
commended Examiner Kidd's course.
Prof. Anderson would do well to turn
his guns on public officials who violate
the laws of the land, rather than on one
who seeks only the performance af a
plain and sworn duty within the law,
and the protection of society and inno-
cent people. Whatever his reasons for the
t~hree-column scold in Prof. Anderson's
"Amerika," he will fail of his evident
purpose to convince any honst man that
Edward L. Kidd is a coward when it
comes to the performance of an entrust-
ed duty, is a criminal or IN incompetent.
Mr.. Kidd's integrity and ability are too
well establi shed in Wisconsin to be
shaken by an assault from any quarter.

II Is Well to Sweat.

Precipitation is essential to health, "
writes Edward B. Warman in the August
Ladies Home Journal. "A person in good
health never suffers from the heat or the
cold unless unduly exposed. One may
be inconvenience by excessive prespir-
alton, but it is a condition of health rather
to be sought than to be avoided. Too
much of a good thing, however, is not
desirable. Proper care of the body,
proper diet, proper exercise, with proper
bathing, will produce he normal condi-
ton in which condition the heat will

An exchange sensibly suggests that in
anticipation of next years census taking
it would be well for farmers to keep
careful records, so that reliable informa-

who are to gather statistics. Farmers
will be asked to give date of their pro-
auctions, and to state what portions were
sold or consumed.

A GhastIy Freak

A current newspaper item states that
William Henke of New London, has a
freak calf which, from a real view, re-
semDles a human body. The features of
the face are those of "a bull dog and its
ears and tail are those of dog. It's rear
legs extend back from the body, so that
to stand upon them the animal would as
sumo an upright position, like a human
being. Its forward legs are short and
extend from the body about as arms
would.
