Editor Journal: Allow me space in
your ably edited and newsy paper to
make this brief statement;
l see where Young disagrees With
President Roosevelt and Senator Pritcf =
ard as to Hon. John @. Dancy, now Col
lector of Customs at Wilmington, beng
appointed Recorder OF Deeds in and for
the District of Columbia. Had the
President appointed Young I wonder II
he would have disagreed?
I reme mber once wnen a most Virtu-
Gus and pretty young woman was being
united in holy wedlock, when objection
was raised by young man who boldly
laid: 'I object" The prea her said
state your object or." 81 want he
myself" said the young man III be
ginger cake Young wants that off t
himself.
Hero is the great difference. Mr..
DaDcy can prove by the people of both
races, that his hands are clean, his heart
is honest, ard in round numbers he is
a worthy, fit nan for the place. 1 am

Young can reason he Is entitled to s

The general attitude of the La
FOllette forces leads one to con-
elude that they regard LaFol-
lette as the only man in Wiscon-
sin with such preeminent and
high quality ability, that no 9th
er man will suffice as governor of
Wisconsin. When specific infor-
nation is desired to show what
his accomplishments are, there
not one bit Of substantial evil
dence that during his entire poll
tica1 career he has ever done any
thing Of practical benefit to the
people. From the very COM
me1lcement, he has been a pol1ti-
cal agitator, mad as a politician,
has found that this method more
prohtably advances his interests

La Toilette, when he assumed
the office of governor, promised
that he would destroy what is
commonly termed in politics "the
machine" Has he done so? No.
But what did he do? He built
up a machine of his own, the
grease being furnished by Isaac
Stephenson, Of A4ar1nette, that
he thought With the aid of his
primary election law. would last
forever. But there came an
awakening on the part OF the
good, sodnd, reasonable and
trustworthy Republicans of the
state, and as q consequence Bob"
and his little machine will be de-
stroyed and the interests Of the
state of Wisconsin will once
again be placed in the hands Of
men who do their duty without
fear or favor, who do not cater

The case Of Congressman Dazzle
should be an eye-opener to those
who believe Gov. La Toilette has
any consideration for the politi-
cal rights Of others. Here is Mr.
DAZZLE, a friend who has done for
the governor everything that i'm

ly if any public man could expect
consideration from Mr.. La Fol-
1ette, Mr.. DAZZLE is that man.
And yet, the governor has turned
him down because another man

they are needed-M1lton Junction

Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies thenorthern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitant land prices.
1t is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point Of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are go
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kao1in and clay
beds, the timber andthe rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro-

CHEERFUL KANSAS.

The word "gold'' always makes a
white man prick up his ears. Gold
is the first metal mentioned in the
Bible; on the second page of the
holy scriptures, it is. spoken of with
simple comment of approval; it is
said to be good" This tenet has
been religiously adhered to by Jews
and Christians alike ever since. For
year or two past, stories Of gold in
western Kansas have been circu-
lated. 1t is said that there is an ap-
preciable trace of the metal in the
shales of that f1attest country on
earth. Some have believed, others
have doubted. The aged and wise
Atchison Globe, usually prompt to
denounce anything new as fake, has
seemed to hover on the verge of
credulity. Now we are told that
careful and long continued tests show
gold to the amount of ST. 20 to $6. rs
per ton in this shale, averaging 80. 80,
which would mean a profit of 80
cents per ton. So now we may eX-
pect to see the Kansas farmers beat
their plowshares into rockers, and
their pruning hooks into picks. AS
for Nebraska, we hope she will con-
