EDUCATION NOT PANAcEA.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
would solves the immigration problem
by turning back all immigrants who
cannot read the constitution of the
United States. The education test Is
impractical With limited opportunities
countries is not surprising that many
of the people who leave for the Uni
ted States should be unable to read
their own language. 1t would be mani
testify unfair to require them to learn
to read the language of another coun-
try before they coud enter it. Nor
would this test suffice to keep the un-
desirable classes, for many bright
criminal might find it easier to learn
to read the constitution than some
dull, honest plodder. Educational re-
quirements may properly be imposed
upon the man seeking to be nat
uralized, but the immigrant should
not be burdened with it. Education
is not panacea.-Journal.
DECENTRALIZATION
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw as
decided to call on the government de-
pOsitories, otherwise certain favored
National Banks. to hand over twenty
per cent of all government deposits.
This will make about $32,0OO,O0O,
which he wants on account of disbur-
sements for the Panama canal.
This has raised quite an objection
among the national bankers. James
Still man. of the New York City Nat
ionai Bank. urged Shaw either to
take the money out of the National
Treasury or to issue bonds therefor,
but it is understood that Shaw will
call in the money from the National
Banks, and at the end of ten days will
ask for ten per cent more, or $45,0o0,.

The suggestion that the government
issue bonds to get this money, when
so much of The Peoples money is
laying around in these National Banks
is certainly cheeky.
But then that National Banks are
the brigands of our National finance.

OFFICIAL figures compiled by the Mil
waukee Sentinel show that President
Roosevelt carried Wisconsin by plural
lty Of 153,255. In round numbers he
received about $4,000 votes and Parker
10000. The total vote is even more
significant than the majority. Mr..
Roosevelt's vote is the largest ever given
any candidate in Wisconsin. Judge
Parker's vote is the smallest ever given"
the head of a democratic ticket in the
state, in presidential or off year, since
1886, when the state had only about two
thirds of the voters it now has. 1t is
considerably smaller than the vote in
any presidential year as far back as 1880.
1t is 10000 less than the vote given Gov.
Peck in 1894, the first republican land
slide year, when the Wisconsin demo
Gratis were also divided and the republi-
cans united and enthusiastic. Compar-
atively the Wisconsin democracy is
weaker now than at any previous period
of its existence. Thus the republican
party may be split squarely in two, as it
has been in Wisconsin, and either fac
ton outnumber the democrats. At the
last election the democratic state ticket
received more republican votes than it
ever received before or than it is likely
to receive again, yet it was defeated by
Iplurafity of $4,000.

The winter term of the Dairy School
of the University of Wisconsin has open
ed with an attendance of 125 students.
AS the arrangements of the school were
planned for but 100 students, the school
is crowded and it has been necessary to
transfer the lectures to the new Agricul-
tural building. The work of the school,
which continues twelve weeks, includes
creamery butter making, factory cheese
making, laboratory milk testing, and
shop work with dairy machinery. A
party of Swiss cheesemakers from Green
county is attending the school this year
to take advantage of the instructions in
foreign cheese making which the Dairy
School now offers.

In RESPONSE to the demand of the
Wisconsin public schools for teachers
who can give instruction in music as
we'll as in other branches, and also for
supervisors of music in the graded and
high schools, the School of Music at the
University of Wisconsin will give special
courses in the methods of instruction in
music for the public schools, beginning
December first of the present year. Mr..
Herman T. Owen, formerly of Boston,
who has made special study of the
teaching of music IN the schools, will
give two courses in this work, one of
which is intended for those who wish to
teach music in connection with the reg
ular branches, and one which is design
ed for those who wish to become super
visors of music.

NEXT year the census of the state OF
Wisconsin will be taken under direction
Of the secretary of state and notices
have already been issued. The census
will be taken by town. village and city
clerks, who will receive $3.50 for every
hundred names. They will make their
returns to the county clerks, who will
receive S. so per 1000 names for copying
the lists. The expense of making the
enumeration of about 100000 people,
the approximate population of the state,
will be $4,000 In addition to this is
all the work in the secretary of states
Office, printing, ETC., which will bring the
census up to or above 100000. The
population according to the last federal
census in 1900 was 2O69,O42, and it is
anticipated next years count will show
population of 2,225,OOO.

AVAILABLE figures go to show that in
the twenty years between 1880 and 1900
there were 22,793 strikes, which cost the
country in wages, expense and direct
loss of trade, nearly $40O,OOOO0O. In the
same time there were little over one
thousand lockouts, costing nearly $780,
100000. These three items OF loss by no
means represent it's full extent. 1t would
be a fair computation to estimate an
equal sum lost directly and indirectly
by the general public on account of the
strikes They would exhibit total of
$1,0O0,O0O,0O0 for the twenty years, and
would undoubtedly be within, instead of
beyond, the mark. Strikes and wars
are about the costliest experiences which
modern society can go through, and they
are alike in this, that 80 far no remedy
has been found for either the one or the
other

CUBA and Louisiana have raised large
crops of sugar and yet the worlds total
shows a shortage estimated ut 100000
tons as compared with last year. In the
past twelve months consumption showed
an increase of 100000 tons. If the in
crease in consumptive demand in the
next twelve months should equal that of
the past year it follows that the supply
in it's relation to demand, would be
100000 tons short as compared with the
year just closed. This condition has al
ready led to large advance in the price
of raw sugar, although the commodity is
still selling we'll under the parity of
European beet. 1t is in the European
beet sugar production that the principal
shortage has occurred, as it is also in
Europe that the great increase in con-
sumption has taken place. The former
resulted from the unusually dry summer
on the other side of the Atlantic, while
the latter was brought about by the
abolition of bounties and cartels which
brought sugar within the reach Of the
peasantry to a greater extent than
it had ever been before. An ad-
vance in price may check the growth of
consumption to some extent, but can
hardly hold it down to last years level
as people once accustomed to the use of
sugar cannot be induced to curtail.
Under the circumstances the shortage
abroad Will mean that Europe will be
under the necessity of buying an unusu-
ally large quantity of Cuban sugar; the
effect of which will be higher prices for
the islands product than any yet seen.
