sor LindSay'S closing words, verbatim:
"The strategic position of the island
of Porto Rico as Il part of American
territory, whether regarded from the in
dustrial. commercial. political or mill
lary view point, points unmislakedly to
the necessity of creating as soon as
possible an American Porto itican uni
vcrsitg. Already severa! hundred Porto
Rican boys and girls. some of whom have
been sent at the expense of the insular
government. are in the tnitcd states

er learning, especially professional
schools. y university here would do
more TO extend the sphere of American
influence throughout the West Indies
and the countries of South America, and

portant work of teaching and leadership
in professional life and in governmental
work in Porto Rico. than amy other gift
the American people could make. II is
hard to conceive of II situation, or better
still. of an opportunity, where the en-
pcnditurc Of one to five millions of dol
lars for education, could be made with
such promising and far-reaching re-
suits"

Foot ana mouth disease Is as loath-
some as it is insidious and contagious.
1t has to be stamped out, regardless OF
cost.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural
department has issued a sweeping
order in which the four states of Ner-
mont, Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts are named as New Eng
land territory in which the disease eX-
lists to an alarming extent. The only
criticism that can be offered upon this
order is whether it has come in time;
whether, in fact, disease has taken n
westward turn. The offices of the agri-
cultural department are very vigilant.
Very little happens of moment in the
agricultural world of which they are
not Immediately cognizant. but foot and
mouth disease among cattle, like chol-
era or smallpox in man, takes a short
but specific time to germinate Covcrtly.
The pathology of the disease is mys-
terry; it is altogether incurable, while
the unaccountable rapidity with which
it spreads over widely isolated areas
shows that its germs are air-borne. The
only redeeming feature in combating
it is the universal acceptance of the
fact that only by slaughtering right
and left can its ravages be stayed.

T~ EXPECTATION of remarkable
r. results at this short session OF
congress should not rise too
high. The regular appropria-
ton bills will occupy every minute of
the time which the session Will have at
its disposal. and if any broad PROPOSE
tion of general legislation gets II hear
ing. it will be by special grace of the
ruling powers and with scant probable
ity of final action.
No doubt there will be a raft of prop
ositions for arbitration. suggested by
the coal strike. They will get on the
calendar and place their authors
names in print briefly and that will be
the last of them. Then, too. we may
expect a deluge Of bills to regulate
trusts. But that is a matter of delicacy
sufficient to require separate and ample
! consideration. 1t can never get due
attention in q crowded short session.
f, Whatever the administration may urge
starter. The problem in its entirety
! must go over to another congress.
y The minority may be expected to ring
I the vocal changes on tariff revision for
effect in 1904. That is evidently to be
their rallying issue, the subsistence of
! Populism and the failure of anti-mper-
: ialism and army abuse leaving nothing
else. But the talking will be all on one
: side. The determination of the Re
publican leaders to attempt no disturb
ance of existing tariff conditions at this
time is manifestly wise. Let Well
mough alone is clearly the dictate of
prudence when Well enough happens to
e the most generous dspensation of
prosperity ever vouchsafed by an all
kind Providence to any nation.

If asked to name the fourth busiest
port in the world. who would think of
naming a lake port like Chicago? Yet
that would be correct. Chicago follows
London, New York and Hamburg in
the order of Importance and is, in fact,
really not far behind the foremost, re-
quiring to gain only u little more than
one-seventh in her total tonnage TO
equal the tonnage of London. New
York and London are nearly tied. and

the American city in the lead.

Second-All contracts between employ

of time, six months or a year, perhaps
the periods of payment to be stated.
Third-A deposit with the treasurer of

Fourth--The employe shall have tho

he shall not discontinue work for the
purpose Of obtaining a higher rate of

and shall not interfere in any way with

Fifth-The employer shall have the
right to dismiss the employc if the quail

Poverty and Piety.

A western preacher whose salary has
probably not been raised to make good
to him the increased cost of living in
these prosperous times in a recent SER
mon delivered by him expresses the
opinion that continuous prosperity is
not good thing for the man on the
farm; that money easily made is likely
to be foolishly spent. and that such a
condition tends to undermine the NOR
al fiber of the farmer. The writer is
always and ever an optimist-a locker
on the bright side of things and for
the best side of his fellows-and so we
cannot agree with this preacher, who
reflects little of sixteenth century
piety which advocated the crucifixion
of the flesh as the most orthodox meth
cd OF serving the Lord. The good
things of life are just as much the
legitimate rewards of correct living
and business intelligence as are failure,
poverty and misery the rewards of
shiftlessness, laziness and lack of bust
ness sagacity. The good things are
placed within the reach of every man
if he will but make the proper effort to
win them. Piety is not the legitimate
outcome of poverty, for but few people
are so built that they voluntarily
praise God when they are hungry, poor
and miserable. The men and women
on the farm who today enjoy a finan-
cial independence have reached this
point only after many long, hard years
of toll and struggle. It will not wreck
their future happiness to enjoy good
crops and good prices and freedom
from debt. 1t is hard to be good
Christian with only one shirt and an
empty pocketbook. This parson
should learn to look on the bright side
and take his texts from the Psalms and
not from Jeremiah.

How The Herald Stands.

The interview with the editor of the
Herald published in Mondays issue of
the Milwaukee Free Press is substan-
TALLY correct and any explanation is
unnecessary. The statements ex-
pressed represent the writer's senti-
ments and we will stand by them.
Two years ago the rank and file of
the Republican party in this state
called loudly and long for the nomina-
ton of Robt. M. LaFollette for COVER
nor and the demand was acceded to by
leaders of the party in all factions
The Herald extended to him the I'M
divided support he was entitled to at
that time as a Republican candidate
from Republican paper notwithstand-
ing the fact that personally the editor
was no ardent admirer of the Dane
county lawyer and politician
His administration has not been the
disappointment to us that it has been
to host of his supporters who enter
taAA.u>4- such unlimited faith in his
preachings and the policy he was to
pursue What he has accomplished
is plainly visible. Through his I'M
businesslike tactics the Republican
party in this state today was never in
it's history more thoroughly disrupted
and instead of harmony factional strife
is everywhere apparent.
For this and numerous other reasons
we believe the best interests Of the
party and Of the commonwealth may
best be served by placing at the head
of the state man possessing broader
views and a more conservative judg-
ment,
However, if Gov. LoFailette is favor
ed with denomination and it is the
wishes of the Republicans Of Wisconsin
in convention assembled that he be
the choice over all others for the GU
bernatorial chair the Herald and its
editor will stand by him and the bal
ance of the ticket throughout the cam
pIign and use our utmost endeavOrs
to bring about his election.
