doubtless represent the district
very creditably. Mr.. McCor-
mick and his friends believed
that he should be given another
term, and were greatly dis
appointed that it should be
denied him. Washburn county
joined with Sawyer county in ex-
pressing there dissatisfaction
that both the senatorship and
assemblyship should go to Bay
field county. There is no deny
ing that there was a very strong
feeling that Bayfield, county
should not have asked for the
place, and had it not have been
for the vote of Mr.. Mccormick
upon the tax matter two years
ago he would undoubtedly have
had the support of Bayfield,
county, providing however that
he had have been the choice OF all
Sawyer county. The fact OF
that vote and the factional quar-
rels which are being waged in
Sawyer county were the two
elements which defeated Mr.. Nc
Cormick. AS matters stood Mr..
Mccormick was unable to come
before the convention as the
choice of more than a faction of
his county, and while he may not
be in the least to blame for that
factionalism, still it worked ma
terially against him. Mr.. Nc
Cormick made no enemies in the
campaign, and there were none
but what felt kindly towards
him. Under the circumstances,
1t is, no particular dlScreulG
to Mr.. Mccormick that he could
not win. Mr.. Mccormick and
Mr.. Morris, although opponents,
became close. friends in the con-
test which they have just fought
to a finish. Mr.. Brace, who
was also a candidate earlier in
the proceedings, was also on the
very best of terms with his Op-
ponents in the race. AS long as
only young men were among the
candidates, it is perhaps just as
well to pass around the glories
and honors of the position.

GUNNER MORGAN.

OuOA y 10 OOAhS "a
Navy Department. 1t is to the
effect that Ensign Charles Nor
gan has made written appeal
to Secretary Moody asking pro-
lection against the persecution OF
certain officers who, he AYERS,
are determined to secure his dis
missal from the service. Ensign
Morgan, it will be remem bered,
is the gunner who secured pro-
motion from the President under
the comparatively new law which
authorizes the President to award
a commission to one enlisted man
every year. When Gunner Nor
gan, as he then was. was selected
for promotion, Admiral Sampson
wrote the letter which afterwards
became public and which subject
ed the writer to much ridicule
and criticism. In that letter
Admiral Sampson claimed that
Morgan should not be promoted
for the reason that he was not
possessed of the social culture
which was sin qua non OF the
officers mess.
Ensign Morgan now claims
that the incident noted has result
ed in creating a bitter enmity to
him on the part of Admiral Samp-
sons friends and that they are
determined to punish him. He
also claims that he is to be made
an example of with a view to dis
couraging other enlisted men
from seeking promotion, that the
officers regard it as violation of
the sanctity of their mess and a
blot on the aristocratic traditions
of the navy that man who has
served as a warrant officer should
be placed on the same social
plane with themselves. In his
letter Morgan makes a fiat and
unequivocal charge against a GER
tain lieutenant. whom, he alleges,
is engaged to marry the daughter
of as naval officer of high rank.
He claims that this officer
brought charges of drunkenness
against him when he was perfect
ly sober and for the sole purpose
of securing his disgrace. The
letter has caused a great sensa-
ton in the Department and a
thorough Investigation is likely
to follow. It is well known that
Secretary Moody does not SYM
pathize with the exclusive senti-
ment of the naval officers and that
hehas expressed him self as fovar-
ing a more extensive promotion
of enlisted men to the rank of en-
sign as remedy for the Difficult
ty experienced in securing re-
cruits. Mr.. Moody believes that
only merit should count in pro-
motions and that, while the exam
matt ons of a warrant officer who
desires promotion should be
searching, they should be open
to all the men who have satisfac-
tory records and that those who
prove themselves competent
should receive commissions. He
frankly states that the opposite
view is repugnant to the demo
cratic ideals of the country. 1t
is due to these assertions by the
Secretary Of the Navy that En-
sign Morgan had the courage to
appeal to him for protection.
CHARLES F. MORRIS, the as
sembly candidate, is perhaps
one of the yougest candidates
for legislative position in the
state, being only twenty six
years of age, and just at the age
and with disposition which
would make him sure winner
in case the ladies had the same
rights at the polls that they have

tendencies. Despite his youth
he has "an old head, and as he

then we must see that the demo
Gratis nominate a safe man, of the
stamp of Cleveland, whom the
business interests can support,
and Roosevelt must be defeated
at the polls. " This is another
argument why President Roose-
welt should be the choice of his
party for election to the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Morgan's opposition
is certainly very creditable tothe
President. Let Pierpont shout

GOVERNOR LA TOILETTE has
been accused Of all sorts of
things politically, but not until
the Buckstaff letter appeared
this week, has his honor in
financial matters been ques-
toned. No one can doubt the
veracity of such men as Buck
staff and Stout, who have made
the charge that the Governor,
himself, sold the nomination for
state superintendent. If there
is any explanation that can be
made, for heavens sake let the
people of Wisconsin hear it.
The charge is the most serious
ever made against the Governor;
it does not deal with matters of
politics, but his honor and in
tegrity have been questioned.
What is our Governor going to
say in answer?
BROTHER HUNT, of the Bay
field Gazette, got a little ahead OF
himself last week, by announc-
ing in display type that Charles
f. Morris was nominated for
member of Assembly sat Wash

Hunt certainly got scoop, even
though he did publish the result
of the convention a week before
it happened.
The Cumberland Advocate

ural development of the place,

EDITOR Johnson, of the Merrill
Advocate, has discovered that he
likes the trust because he pur-
chased a pair of pants for two
bucks, and got a full suit of un-
derclothes for a dollar, while
crackers and biscuits are
cheaper than dirt. Editor John
son talks more like a hobo that a
rich federal Office holder and
publisher Of one of those stall
wart newspapers, the editors of
all of which are supposed to be
rich with the money Of the
League. We fail to see
the force of the argument in
favor of the trusts, simply be-
cause this prominent citizen of
Merrill got pair of pants which
will within thirty days be bag
ging at the knees and need
patches on the lower portions.
IF he had succeeded in getting

about thirteen dollars those of
the real fancy kind that stick out
about three feet in the rear and
turn up at the bottom, then he
would have proved the benfit of

this time is punk.

Status of the Country Pubiisher,
Here is little old straight from the.
shoulder talk about matters lying near
10 our heart. There seems to be feel.
ing among business men that a news.
paper has no business to make money.
Why not? 1t Is the most exacting bust.
ness in the world, the most trying in
every way. 1t means long hours and
the greatest care in its conduct. The
newspaper has the entire public to deal
with. 1t Is criticised on all occasions,
1t has to deal with all the cranks in the
community, and to do this successfully
requires judgment and patience.
1t has power, and that power, to the
credit Of journalism, is nearly always
welded for the public good. No ques-
ton of vital concern to'the home people
fails to find strong support from the
home newspaper, and this, too, without
remuneration. The publisher spends
his money to further these projects,
and the community never gives
thought to the matter of cost to him.
1t is not paid out of the public pocket.

The gigantic tropical fireflies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
Of most of the low lying West Indian
islands once proved the salvation of the
city of Santo Domingo. A body of buc-
cancers, headed by the notorious Thorn
as Cavendish, had laid all their plans
for descent upon the place, intending
to massacre the inhabitants and carry
away all the treasure they convenient
~ could, and had actually put off their
boats for that purpose.
As they approached the land, how
ever, rowing with mufi1ed oars, they
were greatly surprised to see an inf
mite number Of moving lights in the
woods which fringed the bayou up
which they had to proceed, and, con-
GLIDING that the Spaniards knew of
their approach, they put about and re.
gained their ship without attempting
to land.

GUMS ON TEXAS EXPLODE.
Battleship Narrowly Escapes De-

Hampton, Va, Dec 1.-The battle
ship Texas has had narrow escape
from being blown up at the Virginia
capes.
She left the Portsmouth navy yard
on trial trip after having been over
hauled and went out of the capes,
where her gun practice was had.
Two Of the large turret guns explod-
ed, filling the gunroom with glycerin
and water, but the magnificent work
of the gynners saved the vessel from
serious damage as we'll as the lives of
those on board her. The ship returned
to Old Point. and special inspection
board made an examination of the in
jury.
A report from Captain Swinburne
commander of the. Texas, touching the
accident on board that vessel while at
target practice states that one of the
hydraulic cylinders which returns the
gun to battery was cracked because it
had been left filled with water when
the gun was discharged.
The ordnance officers expect that this
will not delay the ship long, they hay

Oldest known painting in which it ap.
pears Is portrait of a lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Cas-

end concerning the origin Of the art is
as follows:
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to young and beauti-
full girl of one of the isles of the la
COON. Industrious as she was beauti-
full, the girl made a new net for her
lover, who took it with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui-
site petrified wrack grass, which he
FASTENED to present to his f1ancee. But,
war breaking out, the fisherman was
pressed into the service Of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar-
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed in
following the intricate tracery Of the
wrack grass she began to twist and
plat the threads weighted with small
beads which hung around her net. Lit

There can be no doubt that in the
