What II Should Cot

Editor ]. Z. Junkin, of the Sterling
Bulletin gives some figures as TO the
cost, per capita, to see the Worlds
Fair. Here is what he says about
it:
sour advice is, for everyone who
can afford it, to attend the fair The
impressions one gets from a casual
look around is worth the trip, but for
the person who can take time to Study
cut the various features it will be a
liberal education.
"How much will. it cost" asks
some one, ''to spend a week there?'
That will depend upon the person.
Here is an estimate based upon ex
perience:
A ffteen-day railroad ticket will
cost SIT from Sterling. Rooms can
be obtained for 81 day per person.
Meals will probably average 35c each.
Incidentals could be kept down to so
cents a day. OF course, a person
could spend just as much. as they
cared to for souvenirs and extras. 1t
would figure out about this way:
Railroad fare ... S17.00
Room for 6 days. 500
Meals for 8 days including trip
back and forth at 81. a. day 500
Six admissions to the fair -. 900
Car fare and inCidentals, soc a
day for 6 days 500

PARTY LOYALTY.

Party loyalty is a good thing but It
can be carried out to a ruinous extent.
Party disloyalty may be the highest
evidence of patriotism az witness the
war democrats Of the COS, or the dis
loyalty to the old parties that resuaed
in the birth Of the republican party Be.
fore the war. In these days the voter
can do no better than emulate the big
business concerns of the country, in
this particular at least, They let party
leaders know what they want and If
the party leaders don't concent they
fight them If one party is stubborn
they support another that viii comply
with their wishes, Party lines do not
bother them in the least and they do
pretty effective work Meanwhile the
average voter, who desires nothing but
fair and square government, SIS imbued
with the idea that party loyalty is the
whole thing and he is encouraged in
that idea. Let him get up On his hind
legs and give party leaders to under-
stand that they must conduct the party
in his interests and there would be a
prompt change in political conditions.
If his purity presents 8 klatform or eau
didstes that he doesn't Ike let him make
it known by his vote II this we're the
attitude o more Wisconsin voters who
doubts but anat the Legislature would
have long since enacted a primary cleo
ton law or those other measures relat-
ing to taxation and supervision Of rail
roads which the vast majority of voters
are heartily in favor Of bat which, some.
how, they have not received. The
remedy for the voter i, his vote and ne
should use it in his own interests, which
ere the interests of the public The
voter may be scared by the cry that his
party is in danger but let him remem-
Der that he doesn't owe any more 70 his
party than his party owes to him. Elk.

Dear Sir; The cheapest thing in the

business to know bout paint, you know
do you happen to know that most of the
makers of paint stuff it out with lime
and clay and sand and water and air 2
They do stuff it out in the can. out net
on the house. They make more gallons
to sell or to buy; more money to pay for
paint; more money TO pay for putting it
on good deal more money to pay for
putting it on; but az more beauty; more
