American shipping.

American Snippin9'
Our commerce in American bottoms
amounts to but s per cent of our tota'
exports and imports. For seventy
years prior to 1850. when the Repub-
Ican party came into power, our mer-
chant marine carried an average of
T5 per cent of our foreign commerce
BY 1877 it had dwindled to % per cent
Now we carry but a contemptibly
small fraction of our exports and i'm
ports.
American shipping in the foreign
trade was greater by over 100000 tons
in 1910. nearly 100 years ago, than il
wns last year. In the face Of the COZ.
tinuous decline in the record Of Amer
lean shipping during the last forty
tnree years the promise of the Repub-
lican party to restore il is without en-
couragement. The record Of the Dem
ocratic party gives assurance that the
task can be more wisely intrusted &c
it.
1t is an arduous task to undo the ef
feet Of forty years OF decadence ane
requires the study and investigation
of those best fitted by experience tC
find the remedy. which surely does MOI
lie in the granting Of subsidies wruns
from the pockets Of all the taxpayers.
Investigation Of Government Depart
ments.
Recent disclosures, coupled with th'
rapid augmentation of government ex
penditures, show a need Of an inyesti
cation OF every department of the gov
ernment. The Democrats in congress
demanded it. The Republican majori
~ refused the demand. The peopl
can determine by their vote in No

PrinCIpIcs VS.. Party.

Year by year the contention and
feeling between Democrat and Re-
publican is lesseuing Never, since
the long and vigorous strife between
these two leading parties began, has
this state of affairs been so apparent
as at the present time. Party feeling
is being supplanted by due consid-
Grafton for patriotic and humane
principles. Such a condition is the
main safeguard Of our republic. All
honor to an intelligent citizenship.
AS evidence of all this, the following
is quoted from thoughtful. con-
scientious writer:
"If emancipation from railroad
and other corporate rule is to come
Ia the near future, it will be brought
about by the efforts of Gov. LaFol-
lette and his supporters, whether
Republican or Democratic. This is
a fact 80 evident to all as to need no
argument. 1t has been charged
against the governor as an evidence
of his lack of partisan loyalty, that
he invites the cooperation OF fair
minded Democrats in his endeavor
to bring about a better political con-
dition than now exists; but why
should he not do so? He is not work
ing solely for the benefit of Republic
cans. His success will inure to the
well-being of every citizen, and he
ought to nave countenance and as
sistance of all citizens in the pursuit
of his purpose. That he believes in
and will stand up for the general
principles of the national party or
ganization is true. But there is moth
ing in those views to swerve him
from the direct path in regard to the
public affairs of the state of Wiscon
sin. People may differ widely about
tariffs and island domination, and
may still be of one mind as to the
desirability of local government of
the people. That is why Democrats
have voted end will still vote for
Robert M. La Toilette for the chief
executive Office Of the state Of Wis
consin until his special work shall
be completed

Old Mrs. Etheridge had loved gossip
all her life. but, although her ears We're
always ready for it. she schooled her
tongue to disapproval.
Nobody minded what she said, for, al
though she might shake her head and
utter her customary mild reproof, her
eyes never failed to express interest
and desire for more information.
The one phrase which rose to her lips
when the tale was ended had become
SO habitual that toward the close OF
her life she occasionally employed it
involuntarily.
Have YOU heard about Edward?"
asked one of the family connection,
moving her chair close to the old lady's
rocker and leaning over conidenrially.
Grandmother Etheridge shook her
head and put her hand to her ear.
"They say" announced the relative
in strident tones, that he's making
splendid name for himself. and has
been offered a salary Of $4,000 by an
other firm and that he is just as clever
as he can be, has hosts of friends there
in Chicago and deserves them air.
The light of pride and joy shone in
the old lady's eyes, but custom was too
strong for her tongue
you shouldn't repeat it, dear" she
Quavered. There's a wrong story
somewhere"

Term We got scared at first, but
when the delegates started putting
on their badges it did not look so
bad-only a lot Of fellows given IA
free pass 20 so along and shou. and
maybe fight. But when they ran up
against the bunch Of "huskys" at the
University Armory that part of the
job was called off. There is no doubt
here that this precaution prevented
row. Speaking of passes, / venture
that half the crowd (bOlters) came
here on passes. Look on the bunch
revenue agents and clerks, postmas-
tiers, court officials, pension examin.
ing boards-in fact the whole push
of grating politicians.
Now, ] am going to turn prophet
The La Toilette conventions dele
gates to the national convention will
be turned down at Chicago. Not be-
cause they are improperly elected
but that the opposing organization is
in the hands, as i have said, Of the
corporations. They realize shat it
will never do to let r M. LaFollette,
with his ideas, on the convention
floor. They might hear something
For instance, that the people have
rights--you know slavery said the
black man had none, that we were
bound to respect.
Then will come the turn. The
p ople are as ripe today as in 1856
and they will demand their suffrage.
When they get through who can tell
the outcome. In this there will be
no north or south, east or west, but
united people against the Morgans,
Rockefellers, Schwabs and all grasp
ing, thieving corporations.

ONE % the good jobs that will be
placed to the credit of Insurance
Commissioner Xeno NJ. Host is the
effective campaign he waged against
what are termed wildcat insurance
companies. Throughout the country
there are irresponsible concerns pre-
tending to be engaged in the fire in
suranCe business that do not calcu-
late to pay any fire losses. They are
not only an imposition on the public
but are detrimental to legitimate fire
insurance companies, Some time ago
Commissioner Host issued a cireu-
lar, which was quite generally no
ticed by the press, naming concerns
that had come to the attention of the
insurance department because OF
their evident fraudulent practices
and warning the public This was
followed up by such vigorous action
that it is now claimed that there is
not single wildcat concern located
in the state, aud very few outside
companies have the hardihood e.
continue their business in Wisconsin

The Story Of the "SpHf.

&. II. Wanamaker, of Platteville,
sees the truth as plain as the next
man. He tells it straight, too. The
following letter was written to his
son at Loveland, Colorado, and the
editor of The Register, of that place,
thought it so clear an account
of politics as now run in Wisconsin
that he gave it the most conspicuous
place he could in his paper. Mr..
Wanamaker was in Madison, where
he had full view of the situation.
II ere is the letter:
Madison, Wis, June II, '04.
G. l.. WanamaBer, Loveland, Colo.
Dear Son OF course you have
read the papers telling about the
Wisconsin situation, but maybe you
will understand better If write.
Things, politically, have been pretty
warm in Wisconsin, and up to the
present it Is just this;
The governor, has, single handed,
won out in one of the fiercest politi-
cal battles ever waged in this state,
practically every federal office-hold-
er in the state working against him.
Every corporation, both public and
private, were lined up with an en-
Filtered opposition. BY private cor
porations | mean newspapers owned
by stock companies, zinc smelling
concerns and even smaller capitaliz-
ed companies - the opposition did
not coufine themselves to members
of the party. At Platteville, for in
stance, they ran train eighteen
miles ana back to vote three Demo
Gratis and one Republican-and they
voted.
You may wonder at this fierce
struggle. / look at It now and see
| a resemblance to factioual fights fiji
ty years ago. Then the parties of
the country were ruled by the slave
power and they would not allow any
| Interference with their work and
plans which was dollars and cents to
| them.
1t is the same today-the Republi-
can and Democratic parties (leaders
at least) are controlled by the trusts,
railroads and other huge corporate
! interests. One as bad as the other

govern anywhere who Is fighting for
