Obs ERV ATIONS I.
BY S. D..

In Reflections few weeks ago there
appeared paragraph to the effect that
in Europe royalty not only is declining
but is almost effete. We can hardly
endorse that statement, which seems
to be the result of studying the SUBJ
ject from the American democratic
viewpoint. G. S. evidently thinks that
royalty is as useless in government
machinery as fgurehead is to a Ship
and that the 'ship of state" could sail
quite as safely end make an equally
successful voyage without that in
cumbrance. This view is false. The
king is somewhat like the umpire of
gaEe. In the government game there
are always two sides; and it certainly
is advantageous to have as the final
authority on disputed points a person
that is neutral. The personality of the
king of England has not been as pro-
nOunced since the time of Charles L.
as it is today. Edward VII. has re-
vived many of the prerogatives and
rights of his Office and breathed into
them new life. He has done this with
the approval of the bulk of English
men. He is an astute statesman. In
deed, it is no exaggeration to say that
he is one of the most sagacious state
men in Europe today. He has sue
ceeded in guiding the government ship
through, or rather around, dangerous
political sea. For that reason he is, in
a way, far more popular with the people
than was Queen Victoria, and the be-
lief in royalty is now more deeply root
ed in the English heart than ever be-
fore.

a Correction

In the last issue of the Central
Wisconsin there appeared an
article over the signature of An
Observer" which in an effort at
summing up the political situation
in the present municipal campaign
said among other things
''The city is to be congratulated
upon having two good tickets from
which to choose. There is but
little to be said in favor of any
candidate that cannot be said in
favor of others. We believe how
ever that the fact that Mr. Man
son is the master of his own time
and is in business which takes him
continually over the city and all
parts of it, is in better position to
render the city good service than
his opponent and we believe that
this fact is fully appreciated by our
citizens in general.
To the last sentence of the above
we take exception. Any sane man
knows that to be mayor of a city of
nearly $4,000 inhabitants city
with the push, vim and progressive
spirit OF Wausau-such an official
must, to serve the people, of neces-
sity, give up much of his time to the
duties of said Office. Mr.. thinner
man realizes this fact full well, and
would not have accepted nomina-
ton at the hands of his party or ask
the suffrage of the people if he were
not able in this respect to satisfy
the demands of the office. Since
being nominated. he has arranged
with the bank of which he is cashier
so that in event of election he can
give the Office all the time and at
tention it demands. The next ad-
ministration viii have many per-
picking problems to solve needing
the time. study and reflection of the
chief executive, and these re-
quisiteS Mr. Zimmerman is prepared
to give, devoting all his time if
necessary. The above lines re
ferred to were written by Mr..
Observer perhaps without due in
vestigation rather than in a spirit
of malice, and lest the statement be
given some weight or credence we
wish to interpose this correction.

A "Fair-M1nded" Democrat

There IS every indication that the ire
formers have overreached themselves
IN undertaking to elect their candidate
for the supreme court by charging MIR.
Luse, who also is a candidate for the
supreme bench, with being a Corpora
ZIONIST" As was shown by The Daily
News, Mr.. Kerwin, the reform candi-
date, is the attorney of three railway
corporations and the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company, while Mr.. Luse is free
from corporation entanglements, hav-
ing severed his connection with the
| legal department of the Omaha Rail-
way company four years ago. The dis
honesty of this effort to create preiu-
dice against Mr.. Luse is having the
effect of reacting upon the candidate
| receiving the support of the La Toilette
'reformers." Even the reform organ
has felt it expedient to crawfish by
pleading that neither of the candidates
may be justly charged with being cor
pOration attorneys, in that both of them
have been local counsel instead of the
general attorneys of the corporations
which they served. This explanation,
however, does not relieve Mr.. Kerwin
from the embarrassing position in
which he has been placed by the ere
form pharisees at Madison.
The assault upon Mr.. Luse by the
La Toilette administration, which is
using the capitol and the state sta
tionery to carry on the anti-Luse cam.
paign. has served to bring to light
some Of Mr.. Kerwin's antecedents that
show the manner of ''reformer" and
'anti-corporationist" Gov La Toilette
has selected for the supreme bench A
lawyer who knows" in a communica-
ton to The Appleton Post says that
lit is a well known fact that MIR. Kerr
win has become wealthy by his close
alliance with large corporations. 1t
may be that this was the reason why
Mr.. Kerwin, who had been a democrat.
in 1896 bolted Mr.. Bryan, the demo-
cratic candidate for president, and
again in 1900. But it would be difficult
to make the common people believe
that he opposed Mr.. Bryan because of
his MIR. Kerwin's) love OF the common
people. Under these circumstances for
MIR. kerwin to now pose as the poor
mans candidate is altogether absurd"
1t seems that Kerwin is ''fair
minded democrat, who so loved Goods
patient poor" that in 1896 he bolted
Bryan and his revolutionary assaults
upon vested interests" LaFollette's
long suit has been to appeal to the
Bryan democrats on the ground that
he is in sympathy with Mr.. Bryan in
his opposition to plutocracy, and yet
we find him urging the voters of the
state to elect a former democrat that
refused to support Bryan for the very
reason that the governor processes to
admire the Nebraskan. 1t is a charac-
teristic piece of reform hypocrisy,
| but it should settle MIR. Kerwin's goose
with every self-respecting democrat

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the representatives of the Democratic
party of the city of WauSau in convention
assembled, congratulate the present Democrat
ic mayor and city officials on the magnificent
work they have done for the city, ard we are
pleased 10 see that the Republican eiCy cOnven-
ton has also placed the seal of approval upon
1t. The many reforms accomplished and the
great progress made in the way of public i'm
provements, richly merits the approval of the
general public.
We pledge the candidates of the Democratic
party to continuation of that policy. and to a
further improvement of our city in every man
ner that will enhance its future growth and
prosperity.
The Democratic party believes that the public
welfare can best be safe-guarded by the NUM-
cipal ownership of public utilities, and we are
proud of the fact that Wausau's excellent water
works system was installed under Democratic
administration
We believe the bid for street lighting which
has been submitted. to the common council by
the Wausaua Electric company TO be too high,
and We disapprove of the common council
making contract upon the basis of the bid
submitted. We propose a thorough investiga-
ZION OF the subject of city lighting by the in
coming city administration and if found ad-
Vantageous to the c1ty,-or necessary TO pro-
tect the Interests of the taxpayers,-we pledge
the nominees of the party in city and ward to
provide for such street lighting by the city.
We direct the attention of the voters of our
city 10 the important subjects of public in
tefeSt IN charge of The incoming administration
the rebuilding OF the major portion of our
bonded Indebtedness and the Safeguarding of
our watcr-workS system. With these and other
important subjects for consideration. we sub
nit to the voters the necessity of eecting TO the
several departments of city government. men
or experlence, enjoying the greatest confidence.
We submit to the favorable consideration of
the votefs of the city the nominees of this
convention.

THAT thoroughgoing and plain
spoken exponent of straight democracy,

waukee Sentinel, in commenting upon
the Chronicles prediction that the RE-

We will assume, for charity sake,
that the Sentinel editor did not happen
to read an editorial some time ag, in
the Chicago Chronicle, saying that it
was not democratic paper and made
no claim to be one,--a fact which most
well informed republican editors knew
long before, though they liked political
deception too well to admit it.
We would advise the Sentinel to ia TX
more about things of which it may be
expected to know something 1t knows
nothing about democracy. But it

HIS Record

Ernst G. Zimmerman, the pres
ent democratic nominee for MAYOR.
served as the chef executive of
this city during the years 1898-99.
During his terms of office he admin
istered affairs in a business like way.
and always considered the wishes of
the people, and not one person can
say that he ever pursued arbitrary
methods, but on the contrary lis
tened to the advice of any citizen
and made his rulings in accordance
with his deductions. He did not fgo
about his work in a half-hearted
way, but with a firmness that car
ried conviction with it. and the re-
suit was that the citizens in gen
eral were all satisfied, as demon
strated by the majority at his sec
ond election. In the spring of 1896
Mr.. Zimmerman did not care longer
to serve, and Gustav Mueller was
chosen by the party as its standard
bearer. At the convention that
year the following endorsement OF
Mr.. Zimmerman's two previous adj
ministrations was given in the plat
form then adopted, and this en-
dorsement was not criticised by the
opposition
As an evidence of the sincerity of the
purposes of the democratic party in
this city for the future, we invite atten.
ton to its wise and economical admin
istration of municipal affairs in the
past, and especially to the efficient ser
vices OF the present chief executive OF
our city, our mayor, Mr.. +. &. thinner
man, who, on retiring from his official
station, receives the well earned plau.
dts of the people and of his party
whom he has so faithfully served.
Since that time Mr.. Zimmerman
has gained in wisdom and exper.
fence in city affairs-a knowledge
which he can Tse to the citys ad.
vantage in carrying on its progress.
sive business affairs if elected to the
office of mayor this spring, as we
certainly believe he will be. Like
nearly all people of his nationality
he is conservative-not in the sense
of throwing cold water in the face
of any enterprise that viii rebound
to the city's benefit-but he viii
not for one minute countenance
any rash or wasteful expenditure
of public moneys. If at any time

As to instructing delegates to the
National convention, Bryan's Com
moner makes good suggestion. 1t is
the real democratic idea to instruct.
That is true and we might add that
delegates are merely agents of those
who select and send them. And the
usual thing in the business world is to
instruct agents, as far as practicable,
and an agent is required by law to fol-
low his instructions. 1t is not only
proper, but it is in reality the only way
for the people who select delegates to
express their preference. provided
they have a preference.

THIS latest report from the reorgani-

danger of their death from laughter At
the suggestion of Hearst's candidacy.
They have quite recovered from that
paroxyisnN, and are now looking quite

that they.will be al well enough to go
to the polls next fall and vote, as usual,
for the candidate of the trusts, whoever
he may democratic label preferred
