PRINCIPLE VS., MONEY.

1t is refreshing and gratifying to
know and realize that there are some
men in the editorial and newspaper
profession that believe that it is not
only the mission of a newspaper to
make money but to advocate principle
honor and integrity in all things. We
commend Roy L. Thompson. editor
and publisher of the "HanCOck News"
tatement, or confession, that he
recently made in his paper in reference
to the proposition made to him by
member, or representative of the
Republican Stalwart League, in an
attempt to purchase his editorial
expression against the denomination
and reelection of the Governor of our
state. If there were more Of such
men in our profession, as well as all
others, we would have a higher
standard of morals and character in
the political as we'll as the business
life of men in all professions.
There is too strong tendency now
a-dayS to influence men with money,
or equivalents to money, by large
corporate and other interests. for the
defeat OF refOrmatOry measures, in
municipal and state legislatures. 1t
is high time these methods we're
exposed and the publication Of the
methods used so that the sooner the
world may know how these things are
done, the better. We do not want 20
be understood that we believe that ali
newspapers opposing the re-nomina-
tion of Gov. LaFOllette, have been
purchased, or wrongfully Influenced
by the Milwaukee League to do so,
but that some have, there can be no
question: and the best evidence Of it
is the stereotyped editorials that
appear in many Of the weekly news
papers. We are sorry to be forced to
believe this, IS the profession is
deserving of better and higher re-
putation among the people of the
state.

PAPER MAKERS STRIKE.
The Long Looked for Strike Occurred on
April 5th.

Members Of the Papermakers union
who are employed in the NekooSa
Paper mill at NekOOSa. in all about
tifty-tive men, and those employed in
the Grand Rapids Paper and Pulp Cos
mill at Biron, in all about twenty.
walked out on Saturday night April
9th as result of the demands they
made upon the manufacturers some
sixty days ago AS a result the
NekOOSa mill has been running only
one paper machine and three have
been idle. At BirOn the condition has
been about the same.
The fight is on and the papermakerS
are hopeful of wining out by the
manufacturers granting their full
demands. On the other hand the
owners have paid every man his full
wages up to the date of leaving and
did SO ON the 9th of the month instead
of making the men wait until the 10th,
regular pay day. The manufacturers
say that after doing everything pos
Sible to cOnciliate matters with their
employees and cOnceeding nearly all
their demands made upon them, will
now try to run their mills with non
union help and have every reason to
believe that they will succeed. They
have no hard feelings towards any of
the men and feel that the eastern
agitatOrS who are here stirring up the
men are more to blame than the men
themselves. The outcome therefore
at this writing is rather against the
strikers.

Growth OF Rural Mail Route Business.

The first and only Rural Mail Route
50 far installed from the Grand Rapids
post office, is gradually increasing in
its service to the people along the
route. 1t was started last November
and at the close Of the first month
the report shows that there were 30
boxes installed, and the total number
of pieces Of mail delivered was 3O61.
At the close of march last, the fifth
month so boxes have been ordered
and 1883 pieces of mail was delivered.
The carrier sells on an average of $40
per month worth Of postage, say moth
ing Of the money order business and
registered matter he handles, We
mention this matter simply to give
our readers an idea Of the value Of
such route To The people who
live along the route. Farm
property ought TO be worth Il trifie
more along a route where this
service is given than where not in
existence.

A Railroad Mans PRAYER.

Not long since an old railroad man
who drifted into a church where a
revival service was going on, was asked
to lead in prayer. He said:
"Oh. Lord. now that | have tagged
Thee, lift up my feet off the rough
road and plant them safely on the plat
form of the train of salvation. Let
me use the safety lamp known as prud-
ence make all the couplings on the
train with the strong link of Thy love
and let my hand lamp be the Bible;
and, heavenly Father, keep all the
switches closed that lead off on sidings,
especially these with a blind end.
Oh. Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have
every sem aphOre light along the line
show the white light Of hope, that /
may make the run of life without
stopping. And Lord, give US the Ten
Commandments for a schedule; and
when | have finished the run on Sche-
dule time, pulled into the great dark
station Of Death, may thou, the Super
intendent Of the Universe, say: We'll
done. thou good and faithful servant,
come and sign the pay roll and receive
a check for Eternal Happiness.

Advertise Always.
Wausau Herald.

Wausau Herald.
The question is sometimes asked:
'When is the best time to advertiser"
To which an old advertiser replied:
"There is but one time. Advertise
all the time, measuring the space you
occupy by the requirement. Of your
business" And the reason that
advertising should be done cOntinu-
OuSly is self evident. Men are too
pre-Occupied with their own affairs to
keep track Of people who are too
modest or too conservative to let the
world know they are out for business
A new firm should advertise to attain
reputation: an established concern
should advertise to re tain its position
When there is no special announce
ment to be made the space occupied
can be reduced, but at all times the
firms name should be in the news
paper. No advertiser can positively
determine when it is best to bid for
trade. There are seasons of course,
when certain goods are in demand
but at any time an advertisers name
may come before possible customer
and to make sure of never being over
looked the wise advertiser will run his
advertisement without intermiSsion.

A. l.. FONTAINE:-
In your paper of last week you gave
an account Of the preliminary eXami-
nation of Harry Patrick for rape
committed at Arpin, Wis. on an orphan
girl OF six years Of age. The other
papers passed the matter in silence.
1t is fact that not only judges and
lawyers and the justice who tried the
case were ignorant of the penalty for
such d crime, even ye editor. The
penalty should be known to the public
generally and with view to deter
others from committing like crime
| have looked it up. In 1887 law was
passed making such an act committed
on a female under fourteen years
Imprisonment for life. AS the law
now stands it is mpriSOnment in state
prison from five to thirty five years.
If over II years Of age Imprisonment
from ten to thirty years. The vileSt
man on earth respects vrtuOuS
woman and hOnOrS her as he would his
own mother The sisters Of charity
can go any where. The red cross
woman can go among the sick and
wounded soldiers or mingle in the
camp fire of either army with safety
while the dare devil conduct of some
others would corrupt an angel fresh

The curfeW law should extend to IS
for girls and for males q, or until they
get married. Yours Truly,

MILWAUKEE ELECTION NOT FLATTERING.
The Common People of the State will Respond
Much Stronger than did Milwaukee.

The result of the spring election in
Milwaukee. we believe, has taught
the Republican Stalwart League a
lesson, and particularly some of the
leaders who believed that they were
all-pOwerful in that city. Judge
Tarrant' S election is emblematical of
the fact that the common people will
sustain principle, honor, integrity.
justice, fairness and the right where
ever they find it. The non-partiSan
nomination of Mr.. Tarrant was the
ideal thing TO do in politics. but it is
reported that Charlie Pfster was
determined that the Republican
party in Milwaukee should nominate
a partisan candidate and did so IN the
person of Mr.. Wheeler. His crushing
defeat is the best evidence OF what
the people thought on this question.
The most ardent partisan cannot but
now see that Mr.. Tarrant'S election
was for the best and will prove so as
time passes. This is the first opp0T-
tunity Of obtaining an expression
from the people as to what they think
of the method and principles adopted
by the Republican State League to de-
feat the denomination Of Governor
LaFOllette. We sincerely believe
that they will fail in their attempt to
defeat Gov, LaF0llette as they have
failed in their attempt to defeat
Judge Tarrant. The principles which
are represented by the Governor in
the state campaign are as vital to
the people at large as the principles
represented in nOn-partis0n judic-
iary. The question of equalization of
taxes. the primary election principle,
and other reforms advocated by Robt.
M, LaFollette are vital to the future
good of the people as a whole. That
the Governor will be sustained is
positively assured in our judgement
aS the election of Judge Tarrant was
at the recent election in Milwaukee.

The LaFUllette republicans Of
Milwaukee scored a great victory over
the stalwarts Tuesday in the election
of Judge Tarrant The republican
machine opposed TarrantOnly because
Of the fact that'he had been appointed
circuit jndge by Gov. LaFOllette and
tue rebuke administered by the people
for this Stalwart effort to drag the
Judiciary into the mire of politics is
most pronounced one, Tarrant's
majority being over 5000 1t is hoped
it may have sanitary effect. Wau-
