They Overlook the Facts.

The democratic newspapers. and
stump speakers have been endeavor-
ing to make political capital out of
the "two-mlle limit law" That is,
they say the reason that Mr.. Good
ing, the republican nominee for
governor, is SO emphatic in his
statements that he will, il elected,
veto any measure that might be
passed by the Legislature, modifying
or changing the law in any way, Is
because the law as it now stands is
practically dead letter, for the
reason that it permits bands of
sheep to pass within two miles of a
farmers place, when being driven
from summer to winter ranges and
vice versa. 1t is true the supreme
court has granted this permission to
the sheep men, but to have denied
1t would have resulted in almost alb
solutely killing the sheep industry
in Idaho, for there is not a section
in the state that would permit of
sheep being driven from one range
to another without passing within
two miles of some farmers home
While the democrats are denounc.
ing the present status of the law,
and clamoring for something more
effective, they fail to tell the people
that on each of the three times that
the question has been before the
state supreme court, the law has
been declared unconstitutional by
Judge Stockslager, who is demo-
Graf and also sheep raiser. It is
true, the first time the question was
before that tribunal, the court was
of two democrats and one
republican. One democrat, Judge
Qnarles, united with the republican
judge in holding the law valid, al
though modifying its provisions in
some particulars. Be it remem-
bered, however, that Judge Stock
slayer, the other democratic Judge
and a sheep owner, rendered
minority decision IN which he held
the law to be unconstitutional in

Words Of Cheer for the Democracy.

and dropping Democracy that willie
Hearst is loosening up: that he has
been induced to put In few thousands

Democratic clubs. The hungry know

are not worrying about 1908 now
Four years ago Hearst was presi-

his hired men to receive the greetings

that their fare back home was paid

whole concern, but it seems that the

The Savfng-B Bank Test,

In 1896, when Mckinley was first
elected, there were 9SS savings banks:
now there are LOTS, an increase of 10
per cent. In 1896 the number of de-
pOsitors in savings banks was $685.
494 and the total deposits $1,907 ,O0O,-
OOO; in 1903 the number of depositors
had increased to 1905 ,2SS, and the de-
posits to $2,935, 100000, an increase in
round numbers of ,02S,000,00O. AS
deposits in savings banks are mainly
by wage-earners and persons of mod
crate means, the great increase in the
number of depositors and the aggre-
gate deposits indicates general prosper
ity-the result of Republican policies
and administration.

MIR. FAIRpANES'S LETTER
a Clear and Effective Statement of Re-
publican Principles.

publican Principles.
Senator Fairba nks's letter Of accept
ance is a document which appeals di-
rectly to the business men and work
erS generally. 1t states clearly some
OF the most important, but perhaps not
sufficiently understood, tenets of the
Republican party in it's conflict with
Democracy.
In calling attention to the service
done to the entire country by the es-
adjustment Of the bureau of COM
merce and labor with a special de-
partment to deal with corporations,
the senator points out the first real
attempt by the government to deal
with the trust problem. He clearly
sees that the regulation Of the great
combinations of capital Ly law is pos
sible, is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course of the Republican
party in this regard.
AS to our foreign policy Senator
Fairbanks rightly considers that we
have much to be proud Of in the firm,
conservative and thoroughly broad
and Christian policy which has been
adhered to during the years Of Repub-
lican administration. The tremendous
expansion in our trade, our foreign in
terests and influence has been accom-
pliShed by peaceful methods, and no
remote sign O. war has appeared upon
our horizon in the years following the
establishment Of new national rela-
lions or our acquisition OF a vast ter
ritOry in the far east.
In his enunciation of the Republican
Idea of the desira bility of closer trade
relations with our great neighbor,
Canada, the candidate for the vice
presidency is peculiarly happy. He is
plainly for liberal movement for reel
procity between this country and the
people just over the line to the north.
He also emphasizes the value of the
"open door, secured for us in China,
and promises continuance of the
benefits of that result of our recent
foreign policy.
AS a whole, the letter of the vice
presidential candidate is strong
paper, one which commands respect
and confidence. Senator Fairbanks is
meeting the American people face to
face, from one end of the country to
the other, in his very lively campaign.
1t IS we'll. however to have In hand his
written opinions and aspirations as
public man on the great questions at
Issue at this moment.

Parker Rehuked.

The hardest slap yet administered
to Parker was from the hand of an
ultra-Democratic editor. There is
in the southland no more rabidly
Democratic newspaper than the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, yet
an editorial leader in that paper reads:
''Those distinguished blatherskites
who have been ablethering about
Filipino independence and corollary
inanities claim to be helping elect
Judge Parker.
Governor Wright, who is on the
ground and who knows, informed

declarations were being translated

It Is Not a Good Business Feature.

The spectators in New York,
Chicago and Minneapolis have so ad
vanced the price of wheat that not a
bushel can profitably be shipped for
export. In truth, it is admitted
that Europe is more likely to send
her wheat to sell in our IN rket.
Such a thing never happened but
once before in our country. That
was in 1885 and 1886. The Mime
apolis miller declares that wheat is
ruling in that great emporium at ~
cents beyond it legitimate value. 1t
insists that the crv about scanty
wheat crop is fabrication OF the
SPECTATORS to maintain the existing
high prices.
1t is a bad thing for the United
States, which is known as the great
est wheat producing country in the
world, to have it announced that she
is importing bread stuffs for the
consumption of the people. There is
some reason for the high price of
cotton, because the United States is
the only large cotton grover in the
world, whereas wheat is raised in
large quantities in France, Russia.
Germany, Italy, England, Argentine,
Australia, India, New Zealand and
Canada, Of course such false con-
dition of affa irs cannot long continue,
The spectators must burst, and the
sooner the better for the United
States and the world at large. The
people of our country are always for
an emergency. They are using
more corn and rye bread than former
ly; so we can get along. Yet it must
be considered that if our export of
breadstuffs ceases even for few
weeks the deficit to pay our foreign
Indebtedness must be obtained from
some other source. Our manufact-
ures are flourshing. but the foreign
demand for our manufactured articles
will not be sufficient to cover what
we lose from a ron-exporting grain
product. It is therefore not improb-
able that large amount Of gold will
flow to Europe il the spectators
succeed in maintaining the present
price OF wheat. Evening Wisconsin.

A VOTE for L. n. Claasel next
Tuesday is a vote for one of the
cleanest and most representa-
tive men in this assembly dis
trict. Mr.. Clausen disclaims
everything of factionalism and is
ready to support any good legis-
-lation that may come before the
session this winter. He favors
the regulation of railroad rates
along the most sensible lines
that can be suggested, and will
stand on any and all of the humid
reds of bills that will be intro
duce at the coming session, for
the interests of the people. He
is man who has made sue.
cess of his own business, and
has never been open to criticism
regarding his discharge OF public
affairs. He is a level-headed,
practical man, and just such one
as is needed at Madison this
winter. Mr.. Clausen will be
elected by the usual republican
majority.

A CRAZY COMMENT
The Democratic text book has this
extraordinary comment:


extraordinary comment:
The Republicans have spent $500 00C.-
900 on the Philippine Islands and ale
plunging forward with their dream Of;
military empire at extravagsnt cost.
Think what $685. 600 would have done
for arid America? The work of rec.a-
nation, now actually begun in fe,r
localities. might have been inauguratei
IN every state and territory west If
the one hundredth meridian. Other coun-
tries find useful ways of experding
their surplus capital for the benefit u.
their own people. For instance, New
Zealand advances money to worthy
settlers at a very reasonable interest
charge, so that they may go forward
with the Improvement of their land ana
the building of their homes without
embarrassment.
And these crazy Democrats quote
New Zealand. as a specimen of whar
Great britain is doing, while in
another part of their same foolish
book they are protesting against our
Improvement of the Philippines. What
is going on in New Zealand we wiz
make in the Philippines. We have
taken up the burden Of the white n3an
and of Christianity, and it is being
taken up by the Republican party

means that airy INSCRIPTIONS act is

E%xoNERATEs ROBERTS.
Llnderman, Sentenced to Hang
says Roberts Had No Gun.

Albert Linderman, who with Cor
man, Sevenier and Roberts is in the
shadow OF the gallows, has given out
a lengthy confession in which he at
tempts to throw the entire responsi,
ollity for the murder Of Jack WEIGH
upon his companions German and
Sevenier. 1t is doubtful if his plea
will have any effect at this time al.
though it may result in Roberts SEN
tence being reduced to life imprison-
ment.
The murder of Welch as will be re.
called was particularly heartless and
brutal, and Lindermau's confession
will bring him little sympathy, al.
though if true he should not suffer
the death penalty. Thinking people
differ as to capital punishment. We
will not enter upon a discussion of
that question. One thing is certain
1T is the only punishment desperate
criminals fear, and for that reason
the greatest preventive of the class
OF crime that a man will commit
murder in carrying out. Maudlin
sentiment, sensational newspapers,
dilatory justice and the fact that. the
vast majority of murderers escape
with at least light sentences, are the
everyday causes that increase crime.
Let this ma~ukishness end, let there
be fewer lengthy publications of the
driveling confessions of convicted
criminals. 1t is sickening and morbid
and can do naught but harm. A
carnival of crime is reiguing in this
country at the present time. A re-
to the days of vigilance com
mittee IS actually discussed in San
Francisco. Worse things might
and they would probably
start in by hanging a few of the
guardians of the peace" One thing
is certain give crime less publicity
and there will be less crime.
