When DR.. n S. Davis, Dean Emeritus

THE almost constant sense of weari-
ness impels many workers to resort to
the use of strong tea and coffee, the

to their ultimate misery By impairing di-

strongest point made against the ac-

of the defense was that Foster and the

Your Uncle John Quincy Adams Bryan
got rather fclicitous last week when he
placed in nomination E. M. Blackburn
of Wilkes for chief clerk of the House
of Representatives. He said he wanted
to get the truthfulness of some of the
papers which give accounts of how fast
the Democrats are turning over to the
Republicans. He said Blackburn would
start out with nineteen votes, and if the
Democrats would come over as fast as
these papers state, why Blackburn
would be elected in a few minutes.
After the vote and no change being made
in Blackburn's favor, your uncle John
rose to remark that he was of the opn-
ion that those papers were mistaken
about the numerous and rapid changes.

IT rs pretty generally conceded by the
coal mining companies themselves that
the normal condition of the coal trade
will not be reached until next fall. The
present situation, they say, will not grow
any worse, but it will be impossible for
consumers generally to lay in their sup
plies for the entire season until year
hence. Ii consumers are content to work
along with a sufficient supply from
month to month there will be no trouble.
II consumers could only make up their
minds to act upon that plan, the present
excitement over the coal supply would
soon give way, and everyone settle down
to make the best of the situation.

THE amount of taxes we are obliged
to pay this year is simply appalling. 1t
shows that there is something wrong
somewhere, and correction should be
made. The only thing we hear about
tax reform is increase in railroad taxes.
That may be all right il the increased
railroad tax is applied in such a way as
to lessen the burden OF the people. But
to turn those funds into the general fund
of the state treasury will not do it. The
people are not paying any taxes now for
state expenses. The railroads are pay
ing those expenses already, and we know
full we'll that our state government has
got too big an income to waste now. The
state taxes paid by individuals are the
spicifc taxes for the university, normal
and high schools. To increase the in
come of the general fund from the rail
road taxes would not lessen the special
taxes. Therefore if railroad taxes are
increased there should be promise at
tached that such increase should 60 to

THE Christmas plum which Gov. La
Toilette handed Prof. J. Q. Emery in the
appointment as State Food and Dairy
Commissioner came as a surprise to the
recipient as we'll as a severe jolt to sew
eral other expectant applicants. It is
generally conceded that the selection is
an excellent one in any point of view,
and especially gratifying to Prof. En-
ery's friends in this locality near his
home. The Milwaukee Sentinel counts
the appointment one of the best the
Governor has yet-made and continues to
say that the new head Of the dairy and
food department is a practical man as
we'll as ripe scholar. His real work in
a teacher in "the little red school house"
ucation he won his way step by step
through sheer merit and ability. Pro-
fessor Emery has never been politician
in the ordinary understanding of that
term, but he has always taken an inter
est in public matters and he has exer
cised some influence in forming public
upOu HuOStAOuS. LID
professional success, however, was due
solely to the amount and quality of the
work he was capable of doing as an edu
Gator, and to say that he has beer uni
formly successful as teacher of pupils
and OF teachers is doing him no more
than justice. But, while Professor En-
cry has attained to high rank in educa-
tional circles, he has made successful
another line OF effort that is not to be
lightly passed over. He has owned and
conducted profitable dairy farm for
number of years and he is considered
something Of an authority on dairy mat
ters among the men who follow that line
of business. The business and profess
sional men who take up farming of any
kind as side issue are usually supposed
to be looking for place where they can
dispose OF their surplus revenues. Many,
If not most, of them learn that farm IS
an expensive luxury when it is luxury.
But Professor Emery has not found it so.
He may be "born farmer" or he may
have devoted to the selection and care
of his stock the same talents that made
him successful in his professional career
In either case his experience has brought
him in touch with the dairy interests of
the state and he is eminently qualified
to take up the work of the commission
