The n Y. Tribune is of the opinion
that this country has in the last five
years enjoyed such wonderful prosperity
that it finds no parallel in the record Of
any other people. Here and there Las
been reverse of fortune, but so great
has been the general prosperity that
such reverses have been quickly over
come and the onward tide of prosperity
has suffered scarcely a check With this
magnificent increase in our resources
has come a corresponding increase in the
values of our securities, until today they
are selling on a plane that must of ne
cessity discount to great extent the
future. Stocks cannot forever advance
in price, and from the investment point
of view they are already high enough.
Would it not, therefore, seem the part of
wisdom to curtail to some extent rather
than to initiate still further? History
teaches that the lean and fat years will
ever alternate. While no man can pre-
dict with certainty when the one will end
and the other begin, yet we know that
Within certain lines Nature will act.
Where she has given increase she will
sooner or later exact penalty; and of
such increase she in the last few
years has certainly given full share to
US. 1t would seem safer, therefore, to
keep in mind that what goes up must
sooner or later come down, and the high
er it goes the greater may be the fall.

THE following concerning the life of
the farmer is true in every particular
statement: The farmer doesn't have to
solicit patronage from anyone. He
doesn't have to enter into competition
and strife with any of his neighbors like
a merchant; he doesn't have to wrangle
for living like a lawyer; he doesn't
have to depend on his collections reluc-
family doled out as editors do; in fact he
can be the most independent man on
Gods green earth if he manages his bus
mess in a business like way. He has
more time and opportunity for cultivat-
ing his mind; he has fewer allurements
for corrupting his morals: and his occu-
patton is more conducive to the highest
development of his physical powers than
any other.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel Sunday
morning published an article indicating
a clean field for John M. Whitehead as
the Stalwart candidate for governor, and
including an interview with Fred A.
bennett, in which he is reported as say
ing: LAS the matter is today, shall not
stand in the way of any one who is
against LaFollette for the Republican
nomination. [ shall do nothing whatso
ever to complicate matters, and whoever
is thought by the Stalwarts to be the
best man to defeat the present governor
will receive my hearty support. [ am,
in fact, in full accord with the views of
the leaders, and will support Whitehead
to the best of my ability, for [ believe he
is the choice of the Stalwart leaders,
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-01-17

SOME of the state newspapers will
have it that Senator Whitehead is the
candidate for the Wisconsin Republican
League for governor. AS we understand
it, the League, in opposing Gov. LaF'ol-
lette, has no candidate and is not putting
forward any man as against any other
man. It's one ambition, we believe, is to
have nominated for governor republi-
cana loyal, unmistakable republican.
If Whitehead is the particular man
chosen by the convention, he is then the
candidate of the Republican League
alone but of the republican party. And
he is a good enough candidate, too.-

A MEMPHIS undertaken claims to have
found an embalming fluid that will pre-
serve human bodies an indefinite time
and cause them to retain their natural
appearance without decay or shrinkage,
or sign of shriveling as did the Egyptian
mummies. No swarhs or bandages are
needed as the body becomes petrified
and consequently retains its shape. Ii
this is true the making of mummies may
be revived and no doubt will be in many
cases where the person retains lifelike
appearance after death.

FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1902.

IF newspaper comment is any criterion
to Judge the sentiment of the people,
Senator Whitehead is looming up as a
candidate of the republican league for
governor. His speech on taxation before
the Madison club has reflected the ideas
of very many upon this subject, and the
conclusion is drawn that he is the logi-
cal candidate to try conclusions with the
present incumbent
