chanical Construction.
A windmill is apt to be very prosaic
and ugly construction, but many at
tempts have been made with varying
success to beautlfy these very useful
and economical power producers. Our
engraving illustrates how nature and
mechanics are sometimes blended. The
trees serve only us support for the
platform at the top, and as side rails
of n ladder, 1t being necessary only to
provide rounds. The trees serve also
to stay the iron supports. The wind
mill, which was built by j. G. Benster;
of Moline, ILL.,, is of peculiar construc-
ton, there being no gear wheels nor
crank, the power being transmitted by
an involute wheel which is part of the
steel wheel to which the fans are at

In money and In men the price which
Great Britain has had to pay for her
new acquisitions in South Africa is
prodigious. A recent parliamentary
paper put the total money cost, allow
ing for the continuance of the war until
next March, at more than eleven hun
dred million dollars. The mind does
not easily grasp such figures. but some
idea Of their meaning may be obtained
when 1t is remembered that this sum
exceeds the enormous indemnity which
Germany exacted from France, out of
which she paid the whole cost of the
war Of 1901, and had several hun
dred millions left for pensions, fort
resses and railways. But the appalling
loss of life, the thousands of desolated
homes in the British Isles, and the still
more distressing calamities that have
fallen upon the brave and enduring
boers-these things make the heart
sick at the thought of the cost of war,
and constitute the strongest possible
argument for peace.

: A woman who married a man who
claimed to have German estates that
proved a myth, has secured divorce.
Quite right. 1t is evident 1t was not
the man she was marrying, but the
estates, and since they do not exist
the marriage Is void. The only wonder
d that any divorce was legally neces-
sary from man who counted for SO
little in the marriage.

swervingly to justice. believe that this
country is commercial, that this is a COM
mercial age, that commercialism is pre-
dominant; but far from regretting, glory
in 1t.
The object of every war that was ever
waged, at least in the old world, was
plunder-that is to say, profit. Yanquish-
ed countries are despoiled more scientifi-
cally, but more successfully, by tribute.
Militarism is the pursuit of profit by plum
der; commercialism is the pursuit of
profit by industry. No fortune, however
great, but was produced by peaceful pur-
suits. America has given a shining les
son to all the world for the benefit of
all ages. 1t has taught that the pathway
to advantage is through honesty and JUS
tice and not through violence and plum
der.

There Is wonderful story in the life
OF Otis h. Freeman. He Is dead. He
was the Oldest practicing physician in
America. He was n useful man. A
great many years ago Otis Freeman
mapped out his life work. That was
probably years before you were born,
for he arrived in 1909. Wealth didn't
attract him. 1t isn't always the thing
that useful men yearn for. The fel.
low who grubs for money, who loves

often selfish, rarely useful to his kind,

all the good he could. Nearly all doc

Sometimes they use their skill for

knows-for charity. 1t is fact that

CONGRESSMAN jenkins Here.

Congressman John J. Jenkins
spoke at the Opera House Mon
day night, and although only a
few hours notice was given of
the meeting he was greeted by
an audience of between $50 and
300 people, nearly all Of whom
were voters. Mr.. Jenkins dis
cussed national issues principal
". out touched somewhat upon
3.,tte affairs, and his remarks
we're pleasing to the audience,
which was thoroughly appre-
ciative. The so-called trust
question was dealt with to con-
siderable extent, and the differ
ence between the old time trusts,
which were illegally carried on,
and the present day monopolies,
which obey the laws were clearly
defined. Then an argument
f )llowed IN favor of the control
of these great corporations by
the federal government. In this
it is well known that the plan
now being advocated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of the govern
ment control of corporations, has
been advocated by Mr.. Jenkins
for some time, and that he had a
bill before congress providing
for constitutional amendment
for the control of these com bin
atoms of capital. The tariff
question was also discussed in a
manner that was convincing.

His View of Jenkins

Hon. Jos. V. Quarles, junior
United States Senator from Wiscon-
sin, paid the following graceful tri-
butte to Congressman John J. Jen-
kins in his West Superior speech.
81 esteem it a great pleasure, as
we'll as duty, to bear testimony to
the ability and efficiency of your re-
preventative at Washington. For
the last three years | have
watched his career from day to day.
1t involves no fattery to say that
there is no more industrious and
conscientious member of the lower
house. His experience and learning
as lawyer are recognized on every
hand, and is best evidenced by the
fact that he stands today the ranking
member on the Judiciary committee.
There is probably no place on earth
where experience is more valuable
than in the house of representatives.
The committee is becoming more
and more the dominating influence
in national legislation, and it may
be broadly stated that the important
measures are finally shaped and
perfected in committee room to
such an extent that they are rarely
Influenced by discussion upon the
floor. The committee to which Mr..
Jenkins is now entitled by reason of
his long service, enable him to WELD
mighty influence in the great legis-
lative body. The interests of your
district are SO varied and important
that it would be simply suicidal for
you to retire this able, experienced
servant, and replace him by an I'M
experienced man, who, no matter
how able or brilliant, would be
obliged to content himself with as
signments at the tail end of subor-
dinate committees.
Il bespeak for John J. Jenkins in
the district ne has served so well
larger majority than he has ever be-
fore received. Stand by him as he
has stood by you and the interests
of your districts will be conserved.

his place in an honest and square

afterwards a majority of the
delegates in the county conven-
ton. Those delegates received
in some instances their instruc-
tions, particularly in reference
to the sheriffship, over which SO
much is being said. Having re-
ceived their instructions they
