How to Succeed in Politics.

The editor of The Conrmoner receives
frequent inquiries from young men
who are interested in public affairs, and
who desire to prepare themselves for
public life. They are anxious to know
what they should study and how they
should fit themselves for officeholding.
There ought to be no such profession
as the profession of officeholder. In
a country like this, all should under
stand the principles of government,
and should be prepared to apply those
principles to each new question as it
arises, but no one should expect to be
dependent upon public Office for his
means OF livelihood Political success
may be described as the conjunction of
preparation and opportunity. When
the people need some one to act for
them in a representative capacity, they
look about for person already pre-
pared for the work, and among those
prepared they take the one whom they
prefer 1t is possible that a man be
prepared for public office and the
opportunity not come, but it is more
likely that the opportunity will come
when he is not prepared to take
advantage of it,
In politics, as in any other business,
there are three characteristics which
are of prime Importance The first is
honesty dishonesty viii be exposed in
politics quicker than anywhere else, be-
cause everything that the politician
does is subject 10 scrutiny and dis
cussion, No man can succeed 10 bus
mess without honesty, and il he lacks
this characteristic he viii fall in politics
sooner than anywhere esse
The second essential is industry
There is no place IN politics for lazy
man A man may be lazy when he is
working for himself and be forgiven,
but if he is lazy wher he works for
others they will find it olt and criticise
him. In the long run, man who
spends his time ia fitting himself for
real service to his country will secure
his confidence Of his fellow citizens
when the loafer is rejected.
The third important clement in sue-
cess is ability aud, honesty and indus
try being equal, the more able one viii
win, for as an employer win prefer an
el0ploye who can accomplish most, so
the people viii petfer who can accom-
plish most so the people viii prefer the
public servant who can with greatest
skill and eloquenee defend the right
and guard the welfare Of his con.
stituents. There are other things that
viii contribute to mans success, such
as god habits, but honesty. industry
and ability are the factors that have
most influence. While the law is a
stepping stone to politics. it is not nee
essary that one should BE lawyer in
order to be successful before the public
A farmer, 4 merchant, a.clerk or 5 day
laborer-any one of these can so com
mend himself, to his fellows as to be
called to any POSITION which he IS quail

The following is.a true story told in
verse about Mary::s little lamb up-to-
date. May it be CAREFULLY read by those
who stand around church doors Sun
day evenings, also by Mary, who is on
the inside: Mary had little lamb, it
followed her to church, and stood
around the door like an owl upon its
perch. Why don't the little lamb come
in, the watchful people cried, why
Mary told the silly thing to watch for
her outside. So you, each gentle maid
en- one and all still find some sheephead
waiting near the door if you admire
that kind.-Ex.

ent of schools was at Madison last week

the new agricultural school and met
with success il engaging two, who are
recommended as being educators of the
first class in their line of work
r. B. Johns, of Madison, has been en-
gagged as principal of the school and he
was specially recommended by l. d.
Harvey, state superintendent, and Prof
Henry Dean, of the state Agricultural
school. Being brought up on farm he
is qualified by experience with a
knowledge of the workings of
farm and added to this-and
the more important part-he has
the advantage of years of practical train
ing in educational matters. After com
pleting district school course he
taught for number of years in district
and graded schools and the,9 took
courses at the Milwaukee NorDlal school
and State University fram 5th of which
institutions he gradu, ted with high
honors. At the latter place he took
two years course in the agricultural de-
partment He is recommended as
man who can meet and command the
respect of the class of people with whom
he will have to deal-farmers.
AS an assistant to Mr.. Johns, Miss
Emma Conley, of Fond du Lac has been
engaged and she will have charge of the
department of Domestic Economy. OF
her the Fond du Lac Reporter has the
following to say; Miss Emma Conley
who has been the instructress in domes-
tic science, political economy and liter
ature at the High school, for the past
two years, has been rendered the chair
CT domestic science and has accepted
the position. Miss Conley is graduate
of the Fond du Lac High school, and
several years ago completed the course
in economics and history at the Univer-
sity of West Virginia. She has been
very successful with her classes here
and much has been accomplished along
the lines of domestic science. During
her term as instructress here, Miss Con-
ley has made many friends among the
teachers and pupils. all of whom will re-
greet to learn that she has accepted the
position at Wausau and will leave for
that place in the fall
The college at Wausau is state in
stitution, and is one of the two provided
for by the legislature. The salary at
tached to the office of assistant superin-
tendent is $1,000 per year"
The engagement of these two educa-
tors is guarantee that the school will
prove a success and will assume a po-
sition in the educational line for which
it is intended that will attract the attcn-
ton of educators of other states.

THE civilized world $50 called at least)

governors statements of about 2O0, 600

eriminate massacre of all the inh2bi
tants of the island of Samar. Thus in
three petty wars, probably a million Of
human lives have been lost, and doubt
less six times as many as fell during
the five years of our great civil war.
Compared with the civil war the loss
of soldiers has been trivial. But the
mortality of non-combatantS has not
been equalled during all history in any
war or series of wars Of the same mag
nitude. Considering these things il is
somewhat strange perhaps, that the
world should feel much shocked over
the instantaneous humiliation of the
city of ST. Pierre with its 10000 dwell

Shocked not because the number of
Killed was 10000, so much as because
the killing was done in an unaceus-
toned way. 1t is sd spectacle that
buried the eity of people who were

GROCER ARRESTED.
For Selling Impure Food A Hard
Fought Trial is Expected.

At Dayton, Ohio, grocer named
John l.. Schuster, has been arrested for
selling Arbuckles Ariosa Coffee. The
Pure Food Department of Ohio claim
that the glazing on Ariosa Coffee makes
it unsala3le In that state This inter
ests other grocers, because similar
actions are likely to be brought against
them for selling Arbuckle's or any
other coffee which has been glazed or
coated.
The trial has been set for June End.
1t is understood that the Arbuckles will
send New York lawyers TO defend the
case. The Pure Food and Dairy Com
missioner, Joseph H. Blackburn, will
employ the best legal talert he can
secure to represent the states side of
the case. The laws of Ohio are very
strict in protecting the people against
impure food Ii is claimed that
Arbuckle's Coffee IS impure, because it
is coated with glaziug that serves to
cove up defects and make the coffee
look better than it really is, and that
this glazing Is cheaper shan coffee.
Every one who drinks coffee viii be in
terested in the outcome of this case.

Returning ProdlgaIS.

A very noticeable charge for the better
is apparent, of late, in the editorial
page of the Chicago Chronicle Its
democracy is getting the true ring. Its
editorials are becoming vigorous and
healthy. May the charge be perma-
nent. But it is u great deal to expect
of any metropolitan daily that its ed
itorial policy will run very long in the
same direction. The Nsw York World
is also putting in some good ticks for
democracy. 1t is an Interesting fact,
however, that both these papers con-
tinue to harp more or less upon the
money question and to rail against Bry
an. Interesting this is because it is so
clearly weak effort to excuse their own
past disloyalty to the democratic party
They say in one breath that the
money issue is dead end in the next
they talk of it as if it were alive They
keep harping upon it, not because it is
an issue, but in order to Justify their own
faults in the past. The money issue is at
REST for the present anc will remain SO
until the country becomes convinced
that the financial policy Is wrong Moth
ing has occurred since 1896 to convince
us that the position then taken by Mr..
Bryan and the democratic party was
not entirely logical and sound. The
vast discoveries of gold mines since
then, and the strenuous efforts by the
finaneiers to keep the country supplied
with paper money and silver dollars
have thus far prevented the results
which, but for these things must have
continued since 1885, as they did
before for many years. following the
demonstration of silver. The trouble
did not begin to let up Until two years
after McKinley's election. But SO long
as there is money enough to run BUSH
ness, and so long as the money
iugglers are willing to keep it in circula-
ton, business will be good and every
body will be satisfied and the money
question will be at rest There are other
issues, however, that are not at rest, no
less important than the money question;
issues upon which all true democrats
can unite regardless of their differences
upon the money question. Let us con-
fine ourselves to these, and leave the
money question where it is until it
forces itself upon us again if it ever does
as it probably will in some shape, at
some time Parties do not create
political questions. Conditions, social,
or national force political questions
to the front and compel the people to
deal with them. The question of bimet
allism could not be made a political
issue under present conditions of bust
ness and prosperity in this country if all
the politicians and newspapers of all
the parties in the United States should
desire to make it an issue What we
are interested in now is in putting men
at the head of our government, and in
congress who shall sincerely desire to
do something for the people at large,
and who are not preiudiced in favor of
the trusts and are willing to- do what
may wisely be done concerning the
trust evil, and they should also be men
who believe in the American declara-
ton of independence. No more import
ant questions than these ever came
before the American people.

MADE HERSELF A PAUPER.

Friday evening an old lady was picked
up wandering about on the streets and
was lodged in the city lookup. Next
morning she appeared before Judge
Miller and told her tale. She gave her
name as Catherine Pleusinger, her for
mer residence as the town of Rietbrock,
and her age 56 years. She told of her
being married at one time and of visit
ing in Nebraska nineteen years ago and
of her returning home with gentle
man friend whereupon her husband be-
came fired with jealousy aud parted
from her since which time she had been
under the protecting wing of the man
who had caused the trouble, though she
admits she never was married HIM. She
owned forty acres of land in the town
of Reitbrock, in section eight and wish
ing to reward the man who had cared
for her so tenderly in her grass-widow-
hood, she some time ago decided him
her farm. Lately he sold it and left for
parts unknown, leaving her without Il
home. 1t is now her desire to go to the
poor farm to remain there the balance
of her days. While relating her tale she
scarcely could sit still a minute and
kept scratching herself When taken
to the Jail, and made to take bath, and
given clean clothes it was found what
was the cause of her uneasiness. Her
clothes were Utterly covered with a
little insect peculiar to human beings
of filthy disposition. Since then, like
one in delirium tremens, she has been
'seein' things" and will perhaps be
taken to Oshkosh shortly.
