It seems strange that q repub-
lican state like Wisconsin can SO
far stray from the free homes"
measure of Lincoln as to advo-
cate a law turning over the gov
eminent lands within its borders
to the state to be sold for cash.
But the state made an attempt,
and congress said moi OF the
newspapers who opposed the bill,
we are glad to see the active part
taken by the Journal Of Burnett
county. The poor homeseekers
Of Northern Wisconsin should not
forget the papers that took their
part against this rotten measure.

The question of taxation is one
that will enter more and more in
to discussion in our political
economy. The system which will
produce a just and equitable tax
alton in which all, rich and poor
alike, shall bear their due share
| of the burden, is yet to be solved.
Recognizing this, Gov. Van SAINT,
in his first message to the legis-
lature, advocated some action
which would create a tax COM
mission, whose duty it shall beto
make a study of systems of taxa
ton in other states, to sift the
good from the bad; to study the
various plans and ideas which
may be suggested, and to make a
full and comprehensive report,
presumably at the next session
of the legislature. The utility of
this plan, and the plain, business
common sense which suggested
it, are SO apparent that we be-
Geve the legislature will adopt
the governors suggestion with
out opposition. Such commits
sion should be appointed by the
governor, and we are confident
that if the selection is left to him
he will appoint men who will make
a thorough study of the problem,

THE LUMBERJACK.

Our streets will soon be full of
that class Of Workmen known as
slnmberiacks. 7 they will come
drifting in on the first tidal wave
Of a spring thaw. Many of them
will take trains for distant homes.
More will remain here, having no
homes to go to, or because they
will absorb so much coffin var
,ish that they will forget the
street and number Of their homes
Many of them will wait a few
weeks to climb aboard a log and
drift with the current to saWmills
down the Mississippi. But, no
matter where he is--in the forest,
wrestling with the mighty pines;
at the landings, risking life and
limb in starting the timber to
market, or on the streams, bat
ting with cold water and eating
on the run-the 'lumberjack" is
AS fine a specimen of physical
manhood as the god of Labor has
ever produced.
A life in the open woods, with
.,atnre shut in and the fOllieS of
society shut.out, offers every OPP
portunity for the full expansion
of physical vigor. With the Wig
orous pine-laden air in his lungs,
the reflection of sparkling waters
in his blood and with the whole
some and plentious grub of the
lumber camp building up his
muscle, the lumberman should
be miracle of strength and
health 49, and in most cases he is.
In the woods he is at his best;
but when he strikes town he Of
ten, in one fell sweep, tears down
a record for sobriety and gentle
ness which he has been months
in building up. Like all man
kind, he will work months for
good money, only to spend it for
a few minutes of a good time. It
has been the custom, since the
earth started in business, for
victorious warriors, upon their
return from conquest, to forget
their past hardships by plunge
into the fountain of iritoxication.
Was it not the first act of Noah,

President Mckinley has made
no change in his cabinet, which
goes to show that there exists

W ardenS
are Busy

We are under a republican ad-
ministration. The game laws are
being enforced. We have heard
of no violation of the game laws
in Beltrami county, but we I'M
derstand that "soft mutton" is
more scarce on hotel tables than
it was at this time last year.
Governor Lind's expression OF
thanks to his game and fish com
mission at the expiration Of his
term Of Office, has a sarcastic
ring when viewed in the light Of
subsequent discoveries. It was
generally known how woefully
incapable that commission was,
but the extent of it's incapacity is
just now becoming more clearly
evident.
Executive Agent S, f. Fuller
ton of the present commission is
a man absolutely fearless in the
discharge Of his duty. A few
days ago he got on the track of a
fragrant violation of the game
laws, and he at once proceeded to
run it down. In the heart of the
woods in Itasca county, thirty
miles from a town and in the
midst of the big game country,
| he found canning establish
ment. ? An enterprising poacher
had located there, with several
assistants, and was killing game
Wantonly and on wholesale
scale, out of season. On the pre-
misses were 1877 deer skins, IA
moose hides and 10 sacks of hair
of other hides. The proprietor,
| q man named Linden, said that he
had started in the business two
| years ago, and admitted that he
had not dared to do so before, but
that he had felt secure from in
trusion during the populist adj
ministration. He had sold the
yenison and moose meat to log
ging camps, and found it such a
profitable business that he hated
to be disturbed. Linden was
fined 1924, and a prominent lum-
herman, A. j. MILAN, was also
fined $50 and costs for using the
meat in his camps.
An important capture OF men
who have been engaged in killing
| moose, caribou and deer out OF
season was made this week in the
country fifty miles northeast of
Thief River Falls. For some time
| it was known that number Of
men were hunting big game in
the country northwest of upper
Red Lake and were mounting the
heads and tanning the hides for
the market.
State Agent Fullerton investi-
gated the matter and twenty To-
cal game ward ens went up in the
guise Of timber cruisers, located
the camps and secured snap
shots of the parties shooting a
deer and SHINING a moose. Then
Wardens Murphy and Stephens
returned, secured the aid of an
officer from Polk county and left
on Monday last to make the ar
rests.
| The men captured are two by
the name Of Cook and one Wilcox.
They are in Jail here and will be
larraipned next week. !.

With England considering a
high tariff as a means Of increas-
ing it's war fund and Canada con-
sidering a restoration Of an i'm
port duty on lumber to cut of
Yankee competition, it looks as il
the republican protective tariff is
indigenous to other lands.

"Ihe Old Maids Convention" gave its en-
tertainment Friday evening, as advertised, to
an extremely large and appreciative audience
They were assisted by w. NJ. Jackson of Mid

"transform-her" produced results evidently
satisfactory to both the audience and subjects
worked upon, for they gave many pleasing
features in the way of recitations, music-both
vocal and instrumental-an an exhibition in
the art of physical culture of the Delsarte
| type, all of which contributed to the pleasure
of the evening. The sold maids" all carried
Their parts in a pleasing manner and some of
them were exceptionally fine. As to the mat
ter of costumes they were unique and not fully
appreciated by hasty examination, but could
hardly be termed 'dreams," unless 1t carried
one back to the days gone by. As a collec-
ton of the finery of those days and the
methods of using the same to the best advan-
tage in proving attractive to some male adj
mirer, they leave nothing to suggest. The
''market report" read by the secretary, con-
tanned many bright and appropriate "hts''
on the single men of the town, which may be
more productive of good results than the bare
fact of amusing an audience. The entire
company deserve the hearty thanks of the
general public for their earnest and successful
effort in behalf of the public library. 1t is
only regretted that the hall was not large
enough to accommodate all who wished to
gain admittance. Net receipts were S74.4o.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of furni-
ture. You know both; for you sell 'em
both. One sort looks better than it is
and the other Is better than it looks
There isn't any other sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no more
and we make 'em both-we make tons OF
stuff that isn't worth Its freight. Belongs
to the business-have to. Belongs to
your busiDess-yOu have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans
with our name on, the very best pain
there is in the world: DevOe lead ant
zinc. 1t is twice as good rs lead ard oil
lasts twice as long. And we take the
risk of lt-there isn't any risk.
Yours truly,
