AN EMPIRE NOT FEARED.
"HiGher Learning That Does Not
Lift a Biased Mind from the
Pit of Error,

Evidently there are different kinds
of higher learning" A week or two
ago President Hadley, of Yale, was
kind enough to come forward and
quietly warn the people that the
United States is destined to become
an empire, and that there will be an
emperor in Washington within a
quarter of a century. Some supposed
that man with such gigantic in
tellect as his could make no mistake,
and yet President Draper, of the Uni
versity of Illinois, another man who
is most gifted in ''higher learning,'
now assures us that what Hadley
said is all nonsense, and that there
is absolutely no danger of the repub-
lie becoming an empire. ''The Out
look of the United States at the Open
ing of the Twentieth Century as
Compared with the Opening of the
Nineteenth Century" was the SUBJ
ject of Draper's address and it was
delivered before the Chicago Acad-
envy Of Science. He traced the
growth and progress of the past CEN
fury and predicted it's influence upon
the century now opened. We have
had battle royal with the foreign
markets; until now we have forced
ourselves in first place, where we
stand to-day in the eyes of the world.
This great movement, he says, has
been of more national consequence
than appears upon the surface.
"There are and will be more factories,
employment has been given to thou
sands, wages have advanced until

The Dodgeville Chronicle of last

on the judicial situation in that coun-
ty that bears very similar aspect to
the campaign on here 1t is as fol
lows:
\ candidate is a candidate and no
amount of adjectives or expletiveo eau
change the nature of a candidate
Whatever he is before he is a candi-
date he will be after he becomes and
while he remains candidate. Adj
jectives cannot change qualities, though
they may serve to mislead as to their
natures: A mon partisan republican
or democrat is a fiat contradiction Of
expression, the same as a skeptical
Christian or a white blackbird A
man may be a candidate without being
publicly endorsed by his political par
ty. but that does not constitute him a
"non-partisau" candidate it is only
evidence that he either preferred
not to trust his candidacy To the de-

party could not rely upon its numeri-
cal strength to elect him, and there
fore. both the candidate and the party
preferred to flow about in a miseelian-
eous manner among other parties re-
ceiying what foreign assistance that
might attach, while at the same time
such course might afford opposite
parties an excuse for supporting a
candidate not of their own faith Per-
haps Iowa county IS alone IN claiming

non partisan campaign for a judicial
office.
Second step: After the Republicans
have nominated candidate, the Dem
ocrats do twothings:
ii They appeal to all Republican
voters not to let the judiciary be
dragged in the mire Of politics, but TO
cast off their own nominee and vote
for the non-partisan.' With tears in
their eyes they speak Of the necessity
Of keeping the judicial ermine I'M
smirched by electing the '.non-parti
san Democrat, (as if the purity Of the
bench would be contaminated by Re
publican incumDent.)
~ They send to every Democratic
voter letter signed by men with whose
names the local Democracy conjuTes,
reminding the Democratic voter that
the mon partisan" candidate is Dem
ocrat first, last and all the time, from
the hair on his head to the nails on his
toes, and that the Democratic brethren
must get out and hustle for the good
of the party of Jefferson and Jackson.
The Democrats get out and hustle
and some of the Republicans play fish
and bite and are caught.
Let every Republican when his
Democratic friends go after him with
professions that they are SO good that
they are liable to be jerked up to
heaven like Elijah any minutel recall
few Of the many instances Of Demo
cratic labor to defeat Republican
Judges and ask himself whether he
owes his own party or the Democracy
support at the polls. When it is at
tempted to fool you by this transparent
partisan dodge, just call to mind
how hard they worked to defeat Judge
Dixon with Judge Cothren in 1898;
how they put forth Judge Doolittle
and worked as bitter partisans to de
feat Judge Fish in the First Circuit;
how in 1894 they made bitter fight on
grand old Judge Bennett, of GAINESVILLE,
with Democrat, and other more
recent instances.
Then estimate the weight to be just
Iy attached to Democratic professions
Of disinterestedness and mon partisan
ship
Judge Goodselrs campaign is along
the same old lines Of time honored
lby the Democracy duplicity The
Democratic wires are being pulled and
the party is being worked for all it is
worth while the managers, with eyes
raised to heaven, appeal to Republican
Voters to bolt the choice of their party
and support the mon partisan"
In vain is the net spread in the sight
of any bird, even a goose; and we Re
publicans are not tiattered that our
Democratic friends should think us SO
gullible and easily caught with chaff
Our fealty is to the Republican party
and the Republican nominee. 1t is lit
tie short of insult for double-dyed self
seekers to pirate to US Of mon partisan
ship and it requires unmitigated gall,
lin view of the past history Of their
party and their candidatel to ask our
support in their behalf
We owe them nothing, except many
righteous grudgesl and this twaddle of
mon partisanship" is irritating beyond
endurance, considering its source. 1t
makes US feel that we are considered
on level with the ass that is lead in
from pasture and battered by the sim
pie ruse Of holding out an empty hat.

send a money order to Montgomery

port one of the largest trusts III the

is what the trusts do. They crush
out competition by their contention.
Every dollar sent to mail order houses
is just that much toward building up
trusts. Montgomery Ward is not a

word He is shrewd business man,
who by judicious advertising has built
up trust that bids fair to wreck a ma

nounce the trusts Let your actions
