Paving.


The work progresses slowly.
So much earth to pillow, dig, shovel
and haul away.
Considerable fault is found with the
method, or no method of making a
foundation for the pavement. 1t is be-
lieved that the little sand laid on the
loose, moist earth is not sufficient.
One thing is certain-the foundation
of any work or structure is the main
thing, and if Councilmen have not al.
ready done so they sbouln see to it that
the pretty surface they are making is
underlaid by solid, durable founda-
ton.
The job is too costly to be neglected
in any vital particular.
Some criticism of the varying widths
of the curbs is also heard. This is not
so serious. yet the job should he uni
form in every way as well as substantial.

Instead of uniting and forcing the
colonel to select one of them, even on
the anti-merit system, they have played
suppliants and subordinated their in
terests entirely to his.
They may find out, too, after he is
elected that he is candidate for Judge,
in which event they may have to wait
until after the convention next fall be-
fore he will commit himself

The progressive euchre party in the

1t turns out now from both republican
and democratic testimony that the 90
per cent coal tariff provision was i'll the
frank language of the Secretary of the
Navy, Mr.. Moody
-covertly and in a cOwardly manner
struggled into the Dingley Act.
This is serious charge for one incor-
ruptible party man to bring against his
incorruptible brethren.
But, according to corrupt democratic
authority, there is foundation for it.
Whereat the President is said to have
been so indignant that he threatened to
yield to his New England impulses and
demand free COAL altogether.
The question now is-will colonel
Pearre again sink his individuality in
the administration, or stand up boldly
against all New England corners for the
protection of Georges Creek labor-a
protection" by the way, which is more
"a theory than "a condition."

In fact, no paper is neWspaper

Hon. Isidor Rayner delivered an adj
his party opponents very angry.
This denotes that one side holds that
itself only is entitled to the liberty of be-

discourteous things of the other side.
In this respect the democrats are too
tame and tolerant.
Hence, as long as arrogant stump
tactics prevail on the republican side,
the more Rayners to meet that sort of

Test Question.


Canada is to form a trust to sell food stuffs
to England at from p to IS per cent below
present rates. If England does not en-
courage that sort of trust a mistake will be
made.-Cumberland NeTS.
One of the charges against the meat
combination is that it fixes the prices it
will pay the growers of meat as well as
those it exacts from the consumers.
Like the boys ideal of frog-sticker,
meat Imperialism "cuts a-goin' and a.
comm"
Under what rule of etchics, therefore,
should England encourage trust that
must first force the producers to take at
least 1873 per cent. less than present
rates" before it can sell "at from Is to
Is per cent. below?"
Suppose it were Georges Creek coal in
stead of Canadian food stuffs, would the
Ne~s intimate to England that the cor
rect thing to do is to encourage COM
bination that gives neither operator nor
miner a voice in fixing the price of their
products?

representations made by the LOnacon-

The other Half Of wisconsin

100 acres free to all men over Is years
old in Western Canada.
This offer is found in an advertise
ment of canadian government
agent" It is bid for citizens to come
to a good country where land is still so
plentiful that it is gladly given away
to whoever will take it and settle upon
it. We do not see much effort being
made to find settlers on the same terms
for government lands in the United
States. There are still lands to be had
but they are not SO attractive to set
tiers as the earlier settled lands were.
They are remote from market and are
not within easy reach Of railroads; and
to be out of the reach of the railroad
one might better take his chances on
another planet where perhaps there
are no railroads at all; and perhaps
every settler is furnished with a flying
machine. Who knows?
There are hundreds of thousands
acres OF unoccupied good land in north
ern Wisconsin today, some of it held
by railroads and some of it by private
owners, which can be bought at about
the price that the best farming lands
in Walworth county was sold for fifty
years ago. Just that length of time
ago as fine farm, unimproyed by SC
| much as the turning of stone, as there
is between GAINESVILLE and Racine, was
bought for 1926 per acre. At that
time there was plank road west from
Racine to GAINESVILLE and there was not
foot Of railroad i'll the state. Mil
waukee was dot on the map of the
new state, Racine village and Chi
cago was set on stills to keep it's head
out of it's primeval mud bed. There
was no market for anything and MOI
much needed, because there was not
much to sell. There is no such "pio
herring" possible any where in Wiscon
sin today as there was in the very
choice of localities of the southern tie1
of counties, with their plankrOad out
let to Racine, which was connected
with the rest Of the world by schooners
fifty years ago; and it is without much
doubt better choice for an industrious
and careful man to make, to go north
in Wisconsin than to go northwest into
Canada. That portion of the state is
going to develop as rapidly during the
next twenty years as southern Wiscon-
I sin developed between 1852 and 1872
