Harmony Comes Too high.

Lake Geneva News:
The railroads in Wisconsin have
been the mainstay Of politicians for
years. The politicians needed money
the railroads wanted special immun-
tiles. 1t long was a swap Of Campaign
funds for the privilege to levy high
rates and pay low taxes. Now that
the railroads have found some one
they can neither buy, bride nor bull
doze they are making every possible
effort to crush him. The campaign OF
villification and misrepresentation
has never had an equal in Wiscon-
sin. The boilers hold out but one
hope for harmony, and that through
submission. This submission would
mean the re-enslavement of repre-
sentative government to public SER
vice corporations. That kind of har-
mony costs too mucn for the people
Of Wisconsin.

tional or political nature for which
the state paid, and never has done
any such printing on an order such
as Is used in making reauisition for
state work. Mr.. Young, despite a
statement to the contrary. was not
"present when the requisition was
made for the printing by Assistant
Printing Clerk Albert Anderson up
on the regular blanks used general
ly," for the absolutely conclusive
reason that none was ever made.
At least none was ever received by
the Democrat company, and it Is
ridiculous to suppose, anyway, that
public official would be guilty
Of gross violation OF the law, and
be compelled, as he would be, to have
the whole proceeding go upon the
open records Of his Office.
The incident is one that concerns
the state printer only inferentially,
but it will not remain silent when
its name Is even remotely associated
with transactions which are falsely
made to appear cs irregular.
Mr.. Young's reckless Justification
can be matched only by his amazing
stupidity, for it is simply incredi ble
that he should have been employed
in the secretary of states Office a
year or more and not appreciate the
utter improbability Of such crude,
fragrant. patent crookedness as that
to which he makes affidavit with
such Uncomfortable recklessness.
Even the exigencies Of bitter fac
tional fighting afford no warrant for
lnendacious misrepresentation of
this sort.

a False Affidavit.

Madison Democrat. Aug. "a. 1904.
The Democrat Company feels lit
tie concern in the factional contro-
versy of the Republican brethren,
nor will it knowingly permit itself
to be drawn into that unfortunate af-
fair, hence it resents certain insinu-
ations publicly made by one John II.
Young, an employee for year or so
in the Office of the secretary OF state.
but who, for some reason or other,
finally lost his job. That this gentle
man is of thoroughly reckless char
acter is demonstrated by an affidavit
in the Milwaukee Sentinel, In this
document Mr. Young swears to de-
| liberate falsehood; and to admit
that he was not perfectly aware of
the utterly erroneous nature OF his
charge, is to class him as an ignora
mus Of uncommon density. His ac-
cusatiou in brief is that political
printing for private parties has been
executed by the Democrat company
as state printer, and that "to the best
of his knowledge and belief, the eX-
pense OF printing was paid by the
state of Wisconsin," The Democrat
company, even though not directly
charged with any wrong-doing, is
yet placed in the attitude of being at
least an innocent party to n grave
fraud; and for that reason it feels
justified tn categorically branding
Mr.. Eoung's allegation as absolutely
untrue.
Never has job of printing of n
private nature been done by this
company and paid for out of the
state treasury,
Never has there been received in
this office an order for a job of priv
ate printing made out on an official
requisition blank.
Never has any state printing been
done by this company except upon
the receipt of an official requisition.
These denials are as complete and
comprehensive as it is possible to
make them, but if any one should be
so simple as to credit the preposter
Gus statements made, according to
best knowledge and belief of Mr..
Young, he is respectfully referred to
the records in the office of the secre-
tary of state. There will be found
rs by law it is required to be kept
a specimen of every job Of printing
done for the state by the Democrat
company, and, attached 10 it, with
exact requisition in accordance with
which the order was executed, as
well as the precise amount of the
( biz, audited by tho secretary CT state
and paid by the state treasurer. The
record is complete. All jobs are
there, And in the state treasury al
so is a careful chronicle showing the
number and amount of each claim
paid, and that number corresponds
with the one on the bill allowed by
the secretary of state and which,
pihned to the job, is on file. The law
is very explicit in its de Ills, and its
provisions are too plain 20 permit
of violation through ignorance.
Through design, it would be dam
gerous aud reckless procedure, But
the records are there to confound
the doubter, il any there be.

anew that it has never done any
