In an editorial upon the wisdom
of retaining John ]. Jenkins in Con-
gress from this district the Grants
burg Journal among other pertinent
things says:
s'The Eleventh Congressional
District has arrived at that stage in
its development where its people
cannot afford to experiment with an
inexperienced representative in con-
gress. In the immediate future the
calls for postofices, postal routes,
rural delivery, etc., will be SO num-
erous that it will require man of
unlimited experience, vast ability
and ceaseless effort to secure only
the most urgent of them. We have
arrived at that epoch in our history
where the man who can secure our
different wants is of much more i'm
portance to us than the statesman
who can talk against time upon the
most profound questions confronting
the nation"

The initial movement towards
the next presidential campaign will
take place in Washington in Deem
Der, when the Republican National
Committee will meet for the pur-
pose of choosing new chairman,
and secretary, and designating the
time and place for holding the ma
tional convention. 1t now looks as
though President Roosevelt will be
the Republican nominee for the
presidency.

Assuming that the Panama revo-
luton is completed incident it is
pretty nearly an ideal revolution.
1t was practically revolution by
resolution. The revolutionists, we
believe, never fired a single shot.
The Isthmians announced that they
then and there severed the relations
of Panama from Colombia and re-
quested the national army of $50
men to go home. The Colombian
army thereupon shouldered arms
and hiked.

It looks as if there was "a scheme
of mice"-to retire John ]. Jenkins
from Congress. In the Third dis
trict the administration following
has scheme to defeat Babcock by
bringing out candidate in opposi-
ton in every county. There are IN
timations in evidence that the same
tactics will be used in this district.
The boys who are working at this
business have hard task on their
hands. The fellow who "works
for nothing and boards himself
may find satisfaction in the job but
he gains neither in money or in
commentator. So these fellows
who are working to discredit John
J. Jenkins will find that they have
got a foot in it. The work will
ultimately rebound to their injury.
If Jenkins is willing he will succeed
himself.

Contrary to heretofore unbrok-
en- rule of this Office, we publish this
week an anonymous communication
that we received through the mail.
We refer to the article on state
taxes published in another column,
and which came to US in type-writ-
ten form and is dated at Madison,
Wis. We know the author of the
article and so will you when you
read it. He disclosed his identity
IN the first sentence when he said,
ssfor the first time in the history of
the state no taxes etc." There is
but one man at Madison or in the
state that has the gall to publicly
state such an ntruth.-Pepin Star.

During the epidemic of populism
which ten years ago submerged a
dozen western states the good, hard
sense of the political leaders in Wis
consin kept the state practically free
from its baneful influence. Those
were the days of the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff when the mills were
closed and bread was scarce. Now
everybody but the chronic loafer is
at work, money is plenty, prosperity
is in evidence everywhere. And
now in Wisconsin, and in Wiscon-
sin alone, populist theories are
preached and the body polite is
permeated with these reactionary
influences.

The Democratic party is sorely
in need of all issue with which to
enter the next presidential cam
paign. In view of their experience
under the last Cleveland administra-
ton, the people do not want any
more Democratic tariff legislation.
It seems evident that they prefer a
sound and honest financial policy TO
the vagaries Of Organism upon this
question. They have expressed

The administration claims the
credit for the reduction of the stale
tax this year. Logically, then, it is
responsible for the increase of the
tax in the three previous years
1900, 1901 and 1902. For those
years the tax levy was: 1900, ST.
Sa3,444; 1901, $a,a57,854; 1902, ST.
s25,o16. The tax in 1890 was
SSr9,66o; in 1894, $4o7,437. By
contrasting these sums the showing
for the present administration isn't
much to brag about.

The Railroads have Announced low Rates

A great deal of enthusiasm is being
evidenced in G. A. R, circles concern
ing the National Encampment at
San Francisco in August, and thous-
ands of veterans "ho have never

BUSHEL
WHEAT AGAIN
Bath Farmers Crops Recall
Old Times.

John Helmka of Bath township has
threshed some Of his grain. On IS
acres OF ground, in cora last year. he
raised 2046 BUSHES of wheat. over 81
bushels per acre, which graded one
northern and brought a little over
sl44o. He sowed eight acres of bronze
grass last spring on corn stubble SOW
Ing one bushel Of oats to the acre as
a nurse crop. The intention was to
NOW it when it got big enough to
nuke hay. 1t looked so we'll he de-
clded to let it go for grain. From
this ground he threshed IS bushels
per acre.
John L. Fritz, had 40 acres of corn
stubble which went 81 bushels per
acre, and A. L. Freeman of the same
township got 81 bushels per acre from
bis corn stubble ground.
This land was cropped for twenty
years and it seems the necessary ele.
ments in the soil to make a good crop
of wheat are by no means exhausted.
The day of 30 bUshel per acre wheat
was thought to be gone by, but these
crops are just as good as were raised
on the newly broken prairie twent,
years ago.

ARRANGEMENTS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Great Show. Handsome De.
corations. A most Beau.
tifuI Parade.

AS the time approaches for the
Carnival it assumes greater propor-
lions: During the present week a
dozen different propositions were
passed on by the management and a
number of new features added.
Fine Street Shows
Ihe most important addition to the
lists OF attractions was the booking
OF Legare for for the fine street show.
Lionel Legare is beyond question one
OF the upper ten of acrobatic and
gymnastic artists. He appears twice
each day on the spiraltower, wonder
full performance in the midway and
free to all there. His performance
on the street will be a shooting wire
act and will be superior to ANYTHING
ever put on in the west at a street
fair.
The other attractions for the street
fair will be platform shows and band
concerts.
Decorations
The city will be gay with decora,
lions. No city in the west has evel
been decorated. "A firm from Chi
cago will do the work and the result
will be a surprise to AN.
Flower Parade
A more beautiful sight than
flower parade is seldom seen. Moth
Like it has ever been attempted il
Aberdeen and beyond doubt it will b
one OF the most brilliant spectacle
ever made a Carnival feature.
Tire Queeno of the Carnival
The DEMOCRAT will have a definite
announcement to make in the mex
Tissue in regard to the election of
queen Of the Carnival. At the pres
ent writing it is impossible tosay VIII
