THE Stevens Point Journal says
"According to III. f. Whitcomb, pres
ident of the Wisconsin Central, the
editor of the WOOD COUNTY REPORTER
must have been talking through his
hat when he talked SO knowingly ard
positively in regard to a cutoff which
the company was going to build from
that city to MukwOnago." The
Journal should know by this time
that it is the policy of railroads tC
attempt to put at rest all rumors OF
extensions or improvements until the
steps have definitely been taken. In
the case Of the purchase by the Cent
raj of the Port Edwards road two
years ago, the REPORTER published
the fact long time before the deal
was made. The Central officials made
strenuous denialS. at the time, of
having any intention Of extending
their road, but the Port Edwards road
nevertheless became part Of their
system in the due course of time. So,
also, in the due course of time, we
believe will the Central company
make the improvements in this city
which the REPORTER has predicted.

WE received some time ago the
Burnett County Journal and a supple
ment, ''Official Report of the Burnett
county Board Of immigration" The
pamphlet contains IA pages and is
full of interesting matter concerning
Burnett county. 1t has been the aim
of the editor, Ed l.. Peet, during the
past seven years to bring his county
to the front and the seeds he has
sown have brought forth an abundance
of fruit.-The splendid resources and
possibilities of the county are being
talked about SO much that settlers
are seeking this new land of promise
in great numbers. May Burnett
county continue to prosper under the
guiding hand of Editor Peet and may
he receive at least portion of the
reward due him while on earth.

A GENTLE KNOCK
A Word Of Protest Against Chronic Professors
The Philosopher.

Inc PnllOSOpner.
Isn't it about time that somebody
knocked on Knockers? OF course
things never would get any better
unless we find cut how bad they are,
and where they are bad. But no man
has right to merely find the. bad
spots. When you find a defect 10
society. it is your business to find a
remedy-and if you can't offer some
thing better-then you are not the
one to do the knocking.
Anybody can run amuck. A man
with big enough hammer can tear
down more than a thousand men can
build. Doubt is the resource of a
four-flush mind-and thirty-six point
interrogation marks come in all six
point fonts, in the type-foundry of
life. Anybody can knock. It's the
cheapest bundle on the bargain
counter. And knocker is always
sure to get a hearing-people can't
help themselves.
PrejudiceS do many people very we'll
for OpiniOnS-it'S the nearest they can
come to it. But they are not good
food for a steady intellectual diet. A
man should have always the courage
OF his cOnvictiOns-but not till he has
the convictions.
