WE'LL PAID ALREADY.

A bill in the legislature raising the salaries
of municipal court justices in the boroughs or
Queens and Richmond from $1,000 to SsOOO
apiece ought TO lie defeated. 1t is true that in
the Borough of Manhattan $4,000 salaries are
paid to the occupants of similar places, but the
expenses of living in the counties OF Queens and
Richmond are much less than in this county,
and the duties of the magistrates on Long ISL
and outside Of Brooklyn and on Staten Island
are much less arduous. exacting and important
than they are between the Battery and the
Bronx.
Supreme Court justices receive smaller sal
aries in country districts than those in this me-
trOpols. Minor magistrates in Queens and
Richmond are well enough compensated al

HEALTH AND COMFORT ON RAILROADS.

The welcome announcement is made that the
Pullman company has adopted n design
for sleeping cars which will facilitate the work
of the cleaners. The new cars will contain no
grillwOrk or carving, and the surfaces will be
curved as far as possible, while a material has
been selected for curtains and seat covers from
which dust and dirt can be readily removed
The company believes that its ventilating APP
paratus is the best thus far devised, and Will
therefore make no change in that part of the
equipment. but strcter orders have been issued
in respect to the disinfecticn of cars in which
sick persons may have travelled.
These policies have been adopted primarily
for sanitary reasons, and are doubtless judi
cious from that point of view atoms. Mouldings,
open work and sharp angles afford convenient
lodgings to disease germs and. easily DEFY the
processes Of eviction. Thick worsteds can hard-
" be kept clean under the most favorable con-
ditions by assduous care and Il large expendl-
ture Of muscular energy. But the use of differ
ent forms and furnishings is not justified mere
IL by considerations Of health. The elaborate
woodwork and dense upholstery of sleeping
cars have always been offensive TO persons OF
good Judgment and taste, and their disappear
ance will enhance the pleasures or dlInlnlsh
the miseries of travel. But drawing room cars
are usually at least as bad as sleeping cars, and
we hope the Pullman company VIII not con-
fine its cOmmendable work or reform 10 the
latter. We have never been able to discover
any reasonable ground for the hypothesis that

SENATOR WHITEHEAD is making won
derful campaign in Rock county. Word
went forth months ago from Madison
that Whitehead must be beaten. Not
because he was not good steadfast re-
publican, not because he had not ably
and honestly represented his district,
not because he was not the ideal of the
good clean citizen in politics, but simply
because he had performed his constitu-
tional duty as a representative of his
constituency in the state senate and had
voted as his judgment had dictated,
though at times it was contrary to the
dictation of the governor For this his
defeat was ordered by the governor, and
all the resources of the administration
in men and money have been directed to
the carrying of Rock county for the
democratic candidate for the senate. 1t
is especially gratifying, therefore, to
learn that Senator Whitehead's strong,
clean campaign is sure to win and that
he is to have an Endorsement by the
Rock county people of which any public
man may we'll be proud.-Whitewater

The Reason.

One of the strongest arguments which
led the governor to abandon his plans
for day meetings in Rock county this
week is said to have been the poor at
tendance which has been given his day
meetings all through the campaign in all
parts of the state. People who have
watched the La Toilette meetings closely
this year say that the governor has not
been receiving anywhere anything like
the enthusiastic receptions which were
given him at his meetings last year, and
declare that they have never known a
campaign where a speaker of as great
prominence as the governor, no matter
what party he represented, has been civ.
en- 80 little encouragement in the shape
of enthusiasm as has been accorded the
governor in this Observation-Disclosures

Why We Don't Want Primary Election

because the voters can not have per-
sonal knowledge of the comparative fit
ness of candidates with whom they are
not acquainted and are in danger of vot-
ing for persons who are unworthy of
trust and who would not, if known, COM
mand their confidence and support.
Because the system necessarily keeps
out of office everybody but officeseekers,
and tends to swell the number of that
class.
Because the expense of making a can
vass to secure nomination is a practi-
cal bar to poor man.
Because it gives the rich an advantage
over the poor.
Because it authorizes nominations by
minorities which, in case of large num-
Der of candidates for one office, may be
only small fraction of the voters.
Because it subjects the people to the
annoyance and burden Of two cam
paigns instead of one.
Because it secures to men in Office a
manifest advantage over new men and
prevents rotation.
Because it takes from the people the
right to draft their own platforms and
confers that power on candidates, which
is putting the cart before the horse.
The people should never surrender the
authority to make their own platforms
and require the candidates to stand on
them and carry them out.
Because the abrogation of the state
convention means the disintegration and
disruption of party organization.
Because it enables men who could not
get home endorsement to seek Office
with the same prospect of success as
men in good standing, il they have the
money to place their workers in the
field
Because it legalizes and sanctions Of.
fceseeking and tends to increase the
army of candidates, already much too
large.
Because it practically shuts out busy
men and business men who can not and
will not spend the time and money re-
CURED to secure nominations.
Because it lowers the standard of citi-
zenship when nominations can be &C.
cured by the free use of money in hiring
workers to circulate petitions and ped
die tickets and in substituting mercenary
newspapers.

La Toilette the Issue.

Gov. La Toilette has sounded the key
note of the present campaign in Wiscon-
sin. From the stump in all sections of
the state he has urged citizens to ignore
party nominations and consider only the
character and affiliations of the mon who
are candidates for Office.
In heading in his own official Mil
waukee organ Saturday morning the
statement is made that Gov. La Toilette
Urges That Voters Act Regardless of
Party"
In his speeches he never fails to ask
voters to ascertain the sentiments of
their local legislative candidates, and, if
they do not agree with him. La Toilette,
he asks that they be defeated.
The state issue in this campaign is,
therefore, La Toilette or anti-La Fol
lette.
1t is not taxation reform, because Wis
consin legislatures since 1897 have been
giving special attention to that move
meat and they have accomplished note
worthy results without the governors
aid.
1t is not pure primaries. Gov. La Fol
lette vetoed a bill in 1901 that would
have given the people of Wisconsin an
opportunity to test the primary election
principle within reasonable limits.
It is not regulation OF transportation
corporations. Before Gov. La Toilette
was nominated the railroads were "reg-
ulated" under existing statutes. Ora
ham L. Rice even went to the extent Of
fixing rates and the railroad companies
accepted the schedules as fixed by him
and adopted them as the established
rates.
The issue is La Toilette. BY urging
voters to "act regardless of party" Gov.
La Toilette has appealed to them to
subordinate all interests, all departments
of the state government, and even the
national issues to him. He asks that
congressman be elected, not because
they are republicans, but because they
are willing to submit to his diction.
By his own acts the republicans of
Wisconsin are released from all obliga-
ton to support Gov. La Toilette because
the Supreme court declared that the
Bryant state central committee was the
only tribunal that could pass upon the
regularity" OF the republican state
ticket.
Gov. La Toilette can blame no one but
himself ii republicans refuse to support
him. He has submerged the republican
party and exalted himself in its place
He has made "La Toilette" the single is
sue in the state campaign. He must
pay the penalty of his acts.-Sentinel

Peter n. johnson, as business man

cessful, careful gentleman, in whom
they have confidence, having by faithful
attention to his duties accumulated in
his holdings until he now owns 335 acres
of as good farming land as there is on
Koshkonog or Albion Prairie.
Mr.. Johnson was born in Norway in
1843, and came with his parents to Wis
consin settling in the town of Christiana
in 1916, where he has since resided.
His personal popularity will bring him
the support of not only his party but
very many republicans who believe a
district 80 largely agricultural should be
represented by farmer The election
of Mr.. johnson would surely give the
district a safe lawmaker.
