SOME of the Northern Wiscon-
sin newspaper editors have seen
fit to reply to the insulting edi-
torial of the Milwaukee Sentinel
in reference to the program out
lined by President Ed. E. Peet
for the recent meeting of the
Association at Menomonie. The
boys ought not to be too sensi-
tive about such things. When
the Wisconsin Press Association
adjourned after the recent meet
lug at Milwaukee it took about
four days for the editor
of the Sentinel to express
his dissatisfaction with some of
the proceedings of the body. AS
a matter of fact the venerable
editor. of the Sentinel has been
venting his spleen in a private
sort of a way about the Northern
Wisconsin Press Association
ever since the proposition was
preached two years ago, and 1T
ought to be matter of congratu-
lation that he has finally muster
ed up courage to express his
FEELINGS in print. We may be
wrong, but the Sentinel editorial
was to our mind, couched in such
an undignifed and Incorporate
manner. that it was SO thorough
ly out Of place in a leading state
newspaper as to be worthy OF
no mention or reply. 1t was
full of slurs, but it contained
nothing that could be dignifed
with possessing common sense,
and it had been better never to
have replied to it.

THERE have been three great
Palmer's in Chicago for these
many years, The greatest Of
these was the Palmer House,
then came Mrs. Potter Palmer,
and lastly Mr.. Potter Palmer.
All have been great, but the Mis-
ter Palmer seemed to have at
tracted less attention than his
famous hotel, and his illustrous
wife. Now Potter Palmer is dead,
and the newspapers throughout
the country are saying those kind
things about him that are due to
his memory.

From West Superior comes
the news that the candidacy of
Graham L. Rice is not being re-
garded seriously. Mr.. Rice has
not announced himself as can
didate for Congress in opposition
TO Mr.. Jenkins. Mr.. Rice is sim
ply engaged in looking oyer the
field, but it is not thought that
he will find sufficient encourage
ment to induce him to be. a can
'didate It would mot be Aat all
surprising if the Douglas coun.

THERE has been another furry

Whenever one of those fellows
goes up there are none to offer
them sympathy. The recent at
temps at cornering markets, and
running up the prices of neces-
stiles Of life beyound all reason
is revolving to the American
system of government, and when
one Of those fellows who is try
ing to corner" things goes to
the wall, a shout of joy goes up
from all over the country.

SENATOR Whitehead, the Stall
wart candidate for Governor,
had an open letter in a recent
issue of the Milwaukee, Sentinel,
in which he discussed the pri-
mary electionsbill as it appeared
before the legislature esq The
Senator has hardly. told anything
that is new, although bis. con- on
illusions regarding some of the
matters connected with the bill
are of interest. The sooner peo-
pie get to looking upon the Pri-
mary election scheme as a farce
not worth wasting time to dis
cuss the better it will be. The
catchy phrases that it means
sspurer election methods" "re
form" etc., sound very nice, and
if they were true we would all be
for primary election schemes.
But anyone who will look into
the merits of the plan in an I'M
prejudiced manner will come to
the inevitable conclusion that the
so-called benefits are sail in your
eye. +" There is nothing in the
proposed scheme that will bring.
any improvement over the con
vention and caucus plan, if prop
erly handled.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt is taking
! the "bull by the horns" and is
going to discover how it is that
the price Of beef has gone SO
high. It is refreshing in these
days Of trusts, combines, and
centralized capital to know that
we have a president of this eoun-
try who means to stop this sort
Of thing if possible. Everything
is high in price, and the trusts
are monopolizing all kinds of
markets. The result is that
there is dissatisfaction among
the people, and fhey are holding
the republican party RESPONSE
BILE for these disastrous condi-
tions. The president is thorough
~ in earnest IN regulating these
matters, and if congress does
half as we'll as he IS doing good
results will follow. It is up to
the republican carty to do some
thing, and dot quick, or we are
going to have mighty hard times
explaining ourselves in the com
ing elections.

(From the Chicago Chronielel
The State Of Pennsylvania should deal with
the anthracite coal dispute but the State OF Penn
syivania Is at present controlled BY the associated
iron. steel and coal bandits. and the State OF
Pennsylvania is therefore but another uanie for
the criminals who manage the coal roads and
the coal mines.
The governor OF Pennsylvania Is wretched
creature OF Matthew s. Quay and his lawless
associates. The legislature OF Pennsylvania IS
an aggregation Of eorrupuonists representing both
political parties, who are in the pay OF the
predatory seoandrels who control the State.
Most OF the courts OF Pennsylvania are corrupt
or cewardly, many Of them making no attempt
to conceal the fact that they get their orders
from the men who arc masters OF the industry
