SHOULD BE Cooked OFF.

HONEST differences of opinion
are honest subjects for discus
sion in the public print, but the
Milwaukee Free Press knows
neither honesty or the merit of
discussion. In Mondays issue
of that paper was a prominent
article giving the names Of nine
teen senators whom it is claimed
will vote to defeat taxation
measures in the legislature at
the coming session. The article
includes only stalWarts in the
list, AID in large type proclaims
that McGilivray is not one Of the
men who will help to defeat taxa
tion measures. Such a state
ment is a presumption on the in
telligence of Wisconsin republi-
cans, who know that one of the
most successful dodgers and
most accomplished agents the
railroads have ever has in the
StIst is the same cGilivray.
But the Free Press can stomach
anything just so long as it bears
the label of the same faction for
which the Milwaukee organ
stands. The names Of Senators
Whitehead and O'Neil are in the
list of the very bad men the
Free Press has discovered.
Now Mr.. Press editor, here is a
nut for you to crack--crack it or
acknowledge that you do not
know what you are talking
about: Senator O'Neil, of this
city, served for two successive
terms as amember ofthe Assem-
bly,, and was always in attend
ance upon the sessions. He also
served in the last senate. His
record has been made, and his
attitude upon tax questions is
clearly understood at home. He
has always stood for tax reform,
and was one of the first mem
bers of the Wisconsin legislature
to support the reform measures
of Honorable A. r. Hall. He
has been the author of many tax
bills, and has never voted against
any bill that has had it's pur-
posein equalizing taxation. Can
the Free Press deny it? Sena-
tor O'Neil has repeatedly said
thathe was in favor of tax reform
and the records of Wisconsin re-
publicanism shows that he
fought for such measures long
before Governor LaFollette be-
came the advocate of such legis-
latiOn in the state of Wisconsin.
And can the Free Press deny
this? Senator Whitehead has
also clean, untarnished record
on tax matters, and has always
aided in trying to secure such
legislation. If a mans reruta
ton, sustained through years, is
not enough to vouch for his char
acter, then the Free Press has
some grounds for it's statements.
IfMcGilivray has wheeled around
and is going to be square With
the people it is a cause for con-
graduation, as it is about time
that he came to the aid Of such
men as Whitehead and O'Neil
and helped to secure Legislation
that will equaIize taxes.

THAT man Peet-Ed. L. Peet,
over at Grantsbnrg, is certainly
a wonder-he is always doing
somethingoutof the ordinary, and
the newspaper boys who have
watched him for the past few
years, are never surprised when
he breaks out in a new direction
But his latest accomplishments
certainly his best. Peet says
that his new book concerning the
resources of Burnett County has
been his dream for seven years.
How Peet could think of any
thing seven years without do
ing it, is too much for US. We
supposed that he usually took
minutes to determine
to do anything he wanted to.
But the book is out, and it is a
volume of 145 pages,
giving description and portraits
of the prominent men of Burnett
county. The different points of
interest are also described in
strong prose and catchy pictures.
Burnett county is pictured for all
the great worth that it actually
possesses, and the home seeker
who obtains one of Mr.. Peet's
books will have something to
think over and read about. AS an
immigration book there has
never been anything equal to it
that we have seen in the state.
The reason for it is that the reare
only few such hustlers as Peet
in the country who would dare
tackle such big job of work.
We congratulate Brother Peet on
his fine piece of work, and hope
that the result of his labors will
fill his purse from the b tom to
the top of the buckskin strings
with which it draws together.
ENGLAND and Germany have
expressed their perfect wiling
ness to arbitrate the Venezuelan
affair and have invited President
Roosevelt, to act as arbitrer
The President wishes the matter
at the Hague, but the
powers believe that thePresident
of the United States should de-
eide the dispute. The powers
have shown throughout their
trouble with our South American
ward that they fully recognized
and respected the Monroe doc
trine, and had no desire to en-
croach upon it, but they believe
that they had been wrongly treat
ed and only craved justice. AS
the United States claims the
right to protect South American
and Central American countries
against European aggression the
powers have assumed the princi-
pie Of laying their difficulties
with the Child before the honest
minced parent, with full confid-
ence that ample justice will be
given them. Yer ezuela also
desires President Roosevelt to
the differences, and it
is altogether likely that the
President will undertake the task.

liant for an active winter. Most

They claim that those delegates had not
been instructed 10 negotiate postpone
ment Of the strike; that their instructions
had been to demand 10 per cent Increase
in wages to go into effect Monday and,
falling to get a favorable answer, they
were to report hack to the council that It
might plan for the conflict The Textile
Council WAS finally called together and to-
