AT no previous Worlds Fair has any
single individual undertaken to make d
complete study of the whole in its every
department and phase This, Mr.. John
Brisben Walker has attempted with ref
ence to ST. Louis, and presents to the
public in twenty. five articles, accompan-
led by two hundred illustrations, the
largest, most costly and best printed
copy of "The Cosmopolitan" ever issued.
The Cosmopolitan has pursued the
sensible course of not changing its price
of ten cents for this extra large and spec
ial number, 50 that those who stay at
home, and those who GO to the fair, can
both find a convenient guide in THE
Cosmopolitan" at a reasonable price.

THE ticket named by the democratic
convention at Oshkosh last week is one
that will come as near commanding the
strength of the party as any placed in
ton, nationality and individual respect
ability of the candidates are concerned,
a good deal might be said in it's favor.
Edgerton has been honored by the Sc
lection of one of its most respected citi-
zens, Mr.. Andrew Jensen, as the candi-
date for state treasurer. A supreme test
of his popularity will be the large vote
he most certainly will poll in his home
city. The strong hand of Col. VIM. F.
Villas was shown in the platform adopt
ed. Once again the democratic party
seems fairly united and ready for cam
paign that has some show of winning.

HOuSer's Figures.

Secretary of State Houser has felt
impalled to issue statement designed
to show that there has been no increase
in the expenditures of the state govern
ment under the LaFollette administra-
ton.
The secretary's juggling with figures
is very coarse. He compares the ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1904, with
the expenditures for the fiscal year 1903,
a legislative year, and succeeds in show
ing that as compared with the legislative
year there has been an actual saving
of $81, 682.76 in 1904
The vital point is missed altogether
by Secretary Houser. It is of small mo
menC to the taxpayers of the state wheth-
err the expenses in 1904 are slightly lower
than they were in 1903 The important
feature, and the one that is of interest tn
the people, is that the expenses of gov
eminent under reform" administration
exceed by million of dollars annually
the expenses Of government under the
preceding administration
Ii Secretary Houser could produce
official records to show that it is costing
less to maintain the state government
than it cost under the Scoield admins
tration his statement would be pertinent
but his comparison of the expenditures
In 1903 and 1904 are wholly Irrelevant,

THERE is strong popular feeling
against third terms Both Peck and
La Toilette will encounter it in their
campaigning; but Peck has the advan-
tage this time for it is nine years since
he left the chair of state and so the main
objection to third term does not apply
to him, namely the consecutive following
of one term after the others. The chief
reason for opposing third term in an
executive Office is the opportunity which
is afforded by it to the occupant to per-
petuate himself in power, through the
appointing of sub officers who will act as
his agents for denomination. Peck's long
official vacation gives him no advantage
of this kind, while La Toilette not only
has the opportunity but has made great
'er use of it than was ever known before
in any state, town or city of the country.
The appointee of the present governor
who has not been his obedient personal
servant, ready to 60 or come, to fetch or

Immediately supplanted by some one
more obsequios. Never before was the
popular pres ldice against third terms in
executive Offices SO emphatically justified
IS by La Follette's brazen use OF state
paid employees to perpetuate himself in
power.-Whitewater Register.

RAILWAY MAPS,

Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the

without doubt map that is we'll made

few other things can do.
The men in charge of railway traffic
possess most positive appreciation Of
this fact and large expenditure OF
time and skillful thought is made on
this feature of railway publicity.
Said an official of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway while talking on
this subject: There is no doubt that
the American railway map engraver
has carried his art well nigh TO the
borders of perfection. | do not know
of any road maps or other detailed

country have been similarly taken up
by our people and maps of a most

alive to the value of a good map in
the hands of the traveller. The map pub

systems is today reduced to scientific
principles and handled in most sys-

MEN WITH LONG HAIR,
When British Soldiers Were First
Forbidden to Wear CurIs.


Matthew of Westminster tells us thai
in 1927 Henry I. ordered all the sol
diers of England to cut their hair Q
proper length and not wear it like wo
men. This custom of wearing hail
like women rose, according to William
Of Malmesbury, In the reign of viii
liam the red king. Young men, he
says, then endeavored to rival women
in delicacy Of person, to mince their
gait, to walk with loose gesture and
half naked
Anselm in 1902 enacted that clerks
who had long hair should be compelled
to have it cropped SO as to show part
Of the ears and the eyes. William of
Malmesbury does not mention the ediet
of Henry l., but he relates that in 1928
a certain knight who prided himself
on the luxuriarcy Of his tresses, having
dreamed that he was strangled by
them, cut them off Immediately on
waking
This example, he adds, spread
throughout England, and almost all
military men allowed their hair to be
cropped proper length. But, alas,
this decency did not continue long, for
scarcely a year expired ere all who
thought themselves courtly lapsed into
their former folly, and those who had
no natural curls put on false ones

WOBURN ABBEY,
Futile Effort to Fix the Date of Its
Construction.

construction.
The Duchess of Bedford, who died
in 1859, was rather weakminded, and
unhappily her education did little to
| disguise the defects which nature had
imposed upon her. Her great dread
was to have visitor at Woburn abbey
who would ask her hard questions
about the foundation and history of
the abbey. So if she had a savant in
the party she always asked a man of
higher rank to meet him, so that she
might not be taken in to dinner by
the savant Once, as bad luck would
nave it. she got Lord Stanhope, the
historian, who, though he had to take
ner III TO dinner, was none the less a
savant. As soon as he sat down to
dinner he began the dreaded inquiries
about the date of the abbey The poor
duchess, much illustrated, said:
Il have a very poor head for these
historical things, but will tell you all
l know. The founder was Il crusader
who, finding himself in great danger
in battle, vowed that if he got home
to Europe safe he would do anything
the pope told him. He got back safe
and went to Rome, and the pope told
him to build Cistercian abbey, and
he built Woburn abbey. That's all
know"
Lord Stanhope said, THAT is exactly
what l wanted, for if you can tell me
which pope it was can approximately
fix the date"
Oh" said the duchess, Il always
understood it was the pope of Rome"
