It is wonderful how some Of
our Democratic newspapers glory
in the election Of Senator Henry
M. Teller, who is charged with
treachery to the Republican
party, Of which he has been a
lifelong member. Teller's mo-
tives in breaking away from his
party associates on the money
question may have been all right,
and his conduct may be perfect
ly proper, but we doubt very
much if our Democratic brethren
would be willing to acknowledge
proper conduct on the part Of a
Democrat who would have the
manliness to differ with his party
associates, and defying them,
without regard to consequences,
act with the opposite party on
questions which commended
themselves to his Judgment as
best for the country's interests.
If a Republican happens to vote
with the Democrats on some
measures, he is a patriot, but
should a Democrat vote with the
Republicans, honestly believing
his own people would benefit
thereby, be is a traitor, and exc
Grafton is heaped upon him. No
wonder that people are begin
ming to lose faith in the consist
ancy of newspapers.

cent, but it has been shown that
borrowers frequently pay from
ten to twenty per cent; the pa,

extort from the borrowers ~nooii ~
more than the law Will allow,
and this is what Mr.. halnsIord
seeks to remedy: In our opin-
ion this is one of the best bills
introduced at this session; if it
passes, it will be q protection to
thousands Of people who depend
entirely upon borrowing money,
and buying on a credit. Money
lenders will be exceedingly care
full how they take unlawful ad-

ties for fearof the heavy penalty
imposed, if it is proven that they
have violated the law.

LEGISLATURE.

and to authorize the borrowing
Of money therefor. We have
not seen the text of this bill. and
therefore do not know anything
abo6t its provisions. We Go
>know, however, that Claren-
don county is sadly in need of a
Jail building, and if our delega-
ton will provide this necessity
without burdening the people
with additional taxation they
will be doing the county q ser
vice. We have pointed out how
in our opinion a jail can be built
without increasing the present
levy. that it can be done we are
positive, but our representatives
may have a better plan; we pre-
sumo Senator Davis bill is the
product Of a delegation confer
ence, and until we see the text
Of the measure, we will be unable
IS say whether we approve of it
or not.
Representative Lanham has
withdrawn his s'croppers" bill.
Representative Lesesne has
introduced a bill relating to the
time for recording chattel mort
cages.
: The Senate has passed a COM
pulsory educational bill, and it
has also passed a child labor
bill. The biennial sessions reso-
luton has run the gauntlet of
the Senate, and in the next gen
eral election the people will have
an opportunity to say by their
votes whether or not they want
the legislature to meet every two
years instead Of one.
A noly fight was had over a
seed cotton bill, prohibiting the
purchase Of seed or lint cotton
unpacked, without a license Of
$500. Several counties wanted
to be exempted but the judiciary
committee decided that any ex-
emptions would be unconstitu-
tional; therefore if this bill be-
comes a law, this county will be
deprived of about $1,000 in Il
censes, and the purchase of seed
cotton will go right on, possibly
on a grander scale. The law
might run to ground the country
stores, but it will not prevent
the ginner from buying the seed
cotton on a lint cotton basis, and
this he viii be able to do with
cut paying any license. Accord
ING to our view Of this matter,
the $500 license to buy seed cot
ton will prove a hardship on the
poor honest man, and it will not
prevent the thief from stealing.
It is hard on the poor man, be-
cause it forces him to sell his
seed cotton to a ginnery when
does not want to, and it gives the
advantage to a monopoly.
We do not believe any license
for the purchase Of seed cotton
will stand the test Of thesupreme
court, because the imposition Of
such a tax is an infringent on
the rights and liberties Of citi-
zen. It would be just as right
to impose a license upon the
purchasers of fertilizers, or the
purchasers Of meat, corn or bale
cotton. We have always been
opposed to a license, as it tends
to curtail competition. We have
always been opposed to this sys-
TEN Of oppression and we hope
there will be a test case made up.
We are under obligations to

ton Memorial exercises.

introduced a bill to increase the
supervisors salary from $500 to
$500 a year.

EDNA MUIR WINS THE COLD MEDAL
Howe Eighth Grade Entertainment a
Great Success-Large Crowd Attends
Fine Musical Features Largely in Eve
idence-Decision of the Judges II II

That the yearly Gold Medal Decla-
matUry Contests and Musicales of
the Howe Eighth grade are becoming
more popular each year was amply
demonstrated last Saturday evening.
Long before the opening hour the
assembly room was packed to the
doors: people were sitting on chairs
in the aisIes. others looked on from
vantage points in the window seats,
while every available inch of floor
space was occupied by people standing,
even then the uSher3 were obliged to
turn at least a quarter of the crowd
away. IL is doubtful whether even
the assembly room in the new high
school building would have accomo-
dated the large crowd.
The opening number was "The
Banner of the Sea" by the Eighth
grade chorus which was very well
rendered indeed. Rev. Shaw then
delivered the invocation.
Next came the famous "GOuger
Trio" in "Home on the Sea-" This
trio consists Of Angelic, Eleonore and
Phillip GOuger, children of Chas.
GOuger, OF this city, through whose
courtesy we are enabled to present
cut Of the artists. Their selection
was loudly encOred and was responded
TO in 4 itting manner. On all sides
we heard nothing but the highest
praise for the beauty and finish of
these performances.

WAS A GREAT LOSS.
W. A. Brazeaus Beautiful Home Burned to
The Ground

Friday night about 5 O'Clock the
little village Of Port Edwards was
thrown into a fever Of excitement bv
the alarm Of fire.
ii was soon learned that it was the
home OF w. 4. Brazeau. While there
was but little fire in the house at the
time, still the smoke that had come
up from the hot air furnace pipes was
SO intense that cnterance was impos-
Sibie.
As there is no fire protection there
and but little water at command il
was necessary in order to save the
nome ot Geo. BraZeau, the chapel and
barn to turn the whole crew of workers
on to them. - e..
After the fire broke through the
root thereby giving the smoke chance
TO escape the men managed to save a
few OF the larger pieces of furniture
in the front Of the house. but the
little things that money cannot
replace were completely DESTROYED
together with all the clothing leaving
Mr.. and Mrs. Brazeau and the servant
girl Mary Meyers with only the clothes
they had on. Rev. Conway. of Mosinee,
who was staying with them lost his
dress suit case and belongings Mr..
and Mrs. Brazeau and Miss Never
were attending chapel service at;the

The fire is supposed to have origin

chimney. The total loss is about
