Whether Mr.. Paton's plan is the
best one, is debatable; but he is head
ed right The coinage, issue and con-
troll of money now being in private
hands (since the Sherman silver has
all been coined), substantially every
dollar which gets into circulation has
usury string tied to it, which en-
ables the person who let it out OF his
possession to eventually pull 1t back
again into his possession, not only as
good and new as it ever was, but also
dragging back with it another one
like it--or it's equivalent in wealth,
which the recipient did not earn or
make any sacrifice whatever to entitle
him to receive it.
In the case of the horse and buggy
and cultivator, it is impossible tor the
borrower to return the wealth he uses
as good as new-therefore, he should
bear his proportionate share OF its de-
terioration. And such interest is
wholly justifiable. But in the case OF
the coined money, the lender suffers
no loss whatever; and such Inter est"
is usurious and wholly indefensible
from the standpoint of justice. -Asso-

With the death of Mayor Jones, the
this morning, the pastor, Herbert s.
Bigelow, spoke on the ideals of Mayor
most unique feature in American poll
tics has passed away.
Mark Hanna and Sam Jones. In
these two personalities were summed
up the opposing forces of the age The
golden rule or the rule of gold.
On Ohio soil were produced these
masterful spirits; the one believing
in the supremacy of money and Or
ganization; the other believing in low
ing justice and freedom; each achiev-
ing In his way extraordinary success
and leaving upon his generation an
unmistakable impression.
Politics and business; in this dual
kingdom Hanna reigned. In statecraft
and in commerce, Hanna's god was
Jones' devil. A sharper contrast were
scarcely possible.
In politics, Hanna was the boss and
Jones the bOlter, each without peer.
Hanna demonstrated what money
could do with the aid of a subsidized
press and a powerful machine. Jones
showed the world how single man,
when once he has the love and conf
dence of the people, can win victories
without money and in spite of ma
chimes and in spite of papers.
After he had served three terms as
mayor, the politicians and the news
papers and the franchise grabbers and
the preachers joined hands and said
I'VE will put an end to JONES'"
There was but one English paper
in the city that would publish the
| news that he was again candidate,
and this notice was paid for at adj
vertising rates. 1t was a conspiracy
of silence. The newspaper readers
could not have learned from the pa
| pers that campaign was In prog
reSS.
Without party, without a paper,
he made his appeal direct to the men
| in the street. His son played the
cornet and he talked and sang with
the people his own homely songs. 1t
was not political campaign. He
asked no man for his vote. Rather
it was the preaching OF new and
strange evangel. The people knew
that the politicians were not worthy
to unloose the latchet of his shoes
They heard his message gladly. He
came out OF the contest with almost
as many votes as his three opponents
combined.

OF course, he doesn't understand the

to excuse him. The strike was SYM

Previous to the soldiers going there,

Was it not time to act? Was not

They never protested or denounced
the assaults on nOn-union men, but
on the streets talked of driving them
out, that they were "scabs," and ought
to be killed, etc.
Justice should be the watchword and
there should be demanded by you and

Capital and labor should go arm

sincere in that belief, as are thou
sands of others. 1t has grown up in
the past forty years. Yet in 1861 Abra-

Labor is prior to and Independent
of capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor, and could never have exist
ed If labor had not first existed. La
Dor is the superior of capital, and de-
serves much the higher consideration.
Why then should the superior be
asked to go arm in arm with the
inferior?
The Independent deprecates violence
and bloodshed, whether caused by Ia
borers or capitalists. but the open
shop question is one upon which
much can be said. Much is said about
the rights" of the non-union man to
labor for his daily Bread" but the
rights of the union man seem to be
lost sight of. The strike-breaker US

for admiration or respect for the man.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The members of the tract team
held a meeting Thursday afternoon
for the purpose of electing captai q
for the coming season. Don Shaw
was elected and all the boys seem
very well satisfied over the result as
he understands the sport well from
start to finish.
This week was the general windup
of all the studies and the botany class
succeeded in analyzing and pressing
twenty flowers in their hebariums.
The Seniors finished their ex-
aminations last week while those of
the lower classes were about half
completed,
The Seniors decided at their last
Wednesdays meeting, to have their
class photograph taken at Morterud's.
In order to keep in line with the pre-
ceeding Seniors, they will add another
framed class picture to our art gallery
which will certainly be appreciated
by the school as the walls are as
yet comparatively bare.
The following we're the welcomed
visitors of last week: G. w. Gahrand,
Baraboo, Miss Morterud, Miss Dennis,
Miss Brown, Mrs. Lake, Mrs. Fisher,
Mrs. Morrell, all from this city and
Emile VOyer, OF the Medical college
at Minneapolis.
The pupils OF the grades extend q
hearty welcome to the visitors and to
the citizens of the community to at
tend the exhibit which is now on in
the assembly room of the old Howe
high building. The doors will be
open in the afternoons.
The speaker" with its many war
stories presented by Mr.. Perry on
Tuesday as he delivered the address
on Memorial day services abounds
with many good and interesting
topics. The school hereby wishes to
heartily thank Mr.. Perry for the
books which they greatly ap-
preciated.
The pupils OF the Junior class gave
the Seniors and faculty banquet
Saturday evening. There were about
forJy-five present and all reported a
very pleasant time. After q variety
OF games were INDUCED in, refresh
ments were served and then the
gathering adjourned at a later hour.

MINOR OUT FOR PECK.

Representative Edward s. Minor of
Wisconsin, who, with Senators
Spooner and Quarles from that state,
led the boiling convention that defed
Gov. La Toilette last week and in the
opinion of politicians gave the state to
the Democrats, was at the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel tonight. He declared that
he expected to see Democratic COVER
nor elected as result of the split. He
also said he thought Wisconsin would
60 Tor Roosevelt. But" he added
with sigh, 1--WE wish it were Nc
Kinley, or Cannon, or some man like
that-not Roosevelt. Cannon is a
man we would vote for with will.
II would not be at all surprised to
see George w. Peck. the humorist,
elected governor on the Democratic
ticket on account of this La Toilette
business" said he.
1--WE have named our candidate,
Cook, for governor, but the Democrats
say they are going to name Peck.
Many of us can vote for Peck without
regret. We are bent on the defeat of
La Toilette. He is worse than Bryan.
He is against every thing that repre-
sents commerce or industry He is
against the railway and every man
who has dollar in business.
"La FOllette's action in turning out
our delegates was grand larceny, pure
and simple. Whether our convention
or his will be recognized as the regular
convention the supreme court will
have to decide.
aAnd we have a tip, said Mr.. Minor,
"that the supreme court is anxious to
get chance at the question. Free
