A Great Series of Wisconsin
Maps.
The Development of the State Much As
sisted by them. The North Western Line
Completes Task of Interest to
Every Citizen of the State

Nothing has been done in recent years
towards exploiting the advantages of
this state, particularly from summer
resort standpoint, that will prove Of so
much Importance as the publication by
the Chicago Z Northwestern Railway
of one Of the finest series of detailed
maps Of the lake region of Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan that has
been issued.
There are over twelve hundred lakes
in the territory referred to, and these
maps show on large scale all the lakes,
trails, channels, and water courses,
camps and hotels, towns and cities, in a
most complete manner.
In the southern part of the state every
wagon road and turnpipe, lake, stream.
village and town is shown IN careful
detail.
Five Of these maps are published in
the summer book of the Chicago &
North Western Railway, entitled "Lakes
and Summer Resorts of the Northwest"
which contains, in addition to the de-
scriptive matter and maps, complete
list of hotels and boarding houses, with
their respective capacities, rates, name
OF the proprietor and other information.
For the practical needs of the tourist,
sportsman or traveller the book takes high
rank among the many valuable publica-
tiOns issued by The North-W estern Line,
and should be in the hands of of every
person who expects to take trip into
the north woods, and all who are inter-
ested in the growth and development of
Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula. 1t
is the best exposition of the possibilities
open to the states summer resorts and
fishing and hunting grounds that we
have ever seen.

A Mixture of Weather
there.

Rev Irl Hicks predicts some as
founding weather for the balance OF
this month, as follows; During the
fifth storm period, which is central on
the az, 28 and 29. we may expect
stormy weather which will continue to
the end of the month. Expect much
cloudiness and some "rattling" thun-
der showers during the last week Of
July. Tornadoes are possible and all
indications such as low barometer,
south winds, humidity and sultriness,
should be admonitions of possible
danger on the approach of threatening
clouds. !"

Big Circus Coming.

Circuses are commonly regarded as
hotbeds for profanity and lewdness,
but this much must be said for Coll
mar Bros. show, that every thing
connected with it was free from all
such Objectionable features and moth
ing to shock the modesty or affront
the most fastidious could be men
toned from the driving of the first
tent pin until the last act of the per-
forlnance ended. It was clean show
free from all vulgarity, fakirs, she'll
games or other forms of gambling
The parade created very favorable
impression and had much to do with
drawing large attendance. The
menagerie contained many valuable
specimens of animals from the Jungle
and weldt. The hippopotamus created
much won1erment as it is the only one
exhibited in Canada for many years. and
was perhaps the only living speciman
ever seen by nearly every visitor to the
show. 1t is only three years old, but
sturdy babe for all. The perform
ances were strictly high class. clean,
and commendable. Both afternoon
aud evening performances were well
patronized. 1t is safe to say that Coll
mar Bros. have done much to demon
strate how circus may be clean. in-
structive, and entertaining. Suffice it
to cay, they carry away the good will
of the people of Carman.-The Car
man Leader, Manitoba.
Will exhibit in this city on Wednes-

Have they Sent the message telling
Uncle Henry GaS$away
That the pe$Simi$tic leaders have but
little to expect
If we haven't his assurance that the
fighting Shall be checked?"
So they Sat about in Silence, thinking of
their chances Slim,
Guessing whether he would tumble il n
brick house fell on him;
And the ones who were best posted told
in whispers Soft and low
What n Swathe they might be $laShinG
il he only would let go.
And from time to time they Started when

Made them think there was a message
from good Henry GaS$away.
Still the moments grew to hours and the
clock Seemed almost Stopped.
And in diS$appointment'$ Shadow all the

CHOICE OF YOUNG MEN.
President Roosevelt Represents Cour-
age, Mauliness and Independence.
hiffisR anything.

aRe, Mauliness and Independence.
To the younger citizens of the United
States. those who will cast their first
vote for President at the coming election,
it would appear that Roosevelt should
appeal almost entirely. He represents
courage, and strength, and independence,
and all the tendencies of those who are
ready to dare and do and work for the
betterment of everything American. He
is no trimming, vascillating conservative
with any degree of respectable craft in
his composition affecting his course, be-
cause of the opinions and desires of 9TH
ers. He is not the selected representa-
tive of u group. lsit is the American
Man, one of the sort whom young
man can admire and understand. He is
grit and sympathy. He is figure to ap-
precinte.
Old party lines are not us well defined
MS they have been in the past. New is
sues have arisen, and those who for the
first time cast their votes for President
will not cast it us Democrats or Repub-
licans because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information is more gen
eral than it was quarter of century
ago, and the young man thinks for him
self, because he knows enough to do 30
He, il he be not absolutely ignorant
keeps step with the march OF circum'
stances. He will not cast his vote ac'
cording to legend.
1t is because of this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality OF
the candidates, that the young men viii
inevitably incline to Roosevelt. With al
regard for the eminent responsibility Of
Mr.. Parker he must be looked upon a.
having about the same degree of mag
netsm as the ordinary fish, no doubt Q
useful product. but non-appealing in q
personal way. For the man who likes Z
manly man, as young men do, there is ne

THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
Reasons Why 1t Should BE Given to
Republican Candidates.

Reasons Why 1t Should BE Given TO
Republican Candidates.
In the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900 the business men of the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
In any other two national elections in our
history. They voted in greater numbers
than ever before, and their vote was al
most solid in favor of sound money, pro-
lection Of home markets, and the exten-
sion of foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative BUSH
ness vote Of the country turned the scale
in 1896 and 1900. For this the business
men may well congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness Of having
done their duty and rendered great ser
vice to the country.
But how about the coming election?
The money question in its various phases
OF the gold standard, the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing of the Democratic party, while
the protection of home markets md the
opening of foreign ones is us important
as ever. The Democratic platform is 81
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the gold standard is 'irrevoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
OH every phase of the financial question
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon. in his notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said that il
Judge Parker's vote and support of his
party's candidate in 1896 and 1900 had
been decisive, we would now have the
silver standard" There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have repented and the par-
ty promises reform. Can they be trust
ed2
The question OF protecting home mar
llets and extending foreign markets is
one of vital Importance to business men.
From a business point of view it is
question of life or death. The Demo-
cratic party favors tariff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
markets. 1t is no more worthy of the
support of business men now than it was
in 1896 or in 1900.

Roosevelt pnd Union Veterans.

In 1889 Theodore Roosevelt. as Civil
Service Commissioner. devised the plan
by which veterans of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic administra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds of
them were reinstated in the public ser.
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administra-
ton. AS that was more than ten years
before Mr. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
4 desire to remedy Democratic injustice.

Hint for Democratic spellblnder..

When Democratic spellbinders go be-
fore the people this year they should
conclude their speeches with the words
of the Litany: I'VE have erred and stray
ed like lost sheep. We have followed
too much the devices of our own hearts.
We have done those things which we
ought rot to have done, and we have left
undons those things which we ought to
have done, and there is no health in us.
The Lord haYe mercy upon US, miserable
sinners" The only reason why the
party has not done more mischief is lac9
II opportunity.

Parker. SUPPORT Of nr..n.

Alton b. Parker and Henry G. Davis
both say that 'the gold standard is ire
vocably established by law" But there
Is no law of the United States which
cannot be repealed IL Congress and the
President agree on its repeal. Parker
in 1896 and 1900 supported Bryan for
the presidency, and thereby aided the at
tempt of the Democratic party to discs
ia blish the gold standard and put the
country on silver basis.
