but we do not believe that they
should receive dividends upon wa
tered stocks, or as a result of any
form of extortion or monopoly. We
believe that corporations should bear
their just proportion of the burden
of taxation, and that they should not
be required to bear more.
Under the half-breed classification
of newspapers, if the half-breed pa
pers do not endorse the sentiment
embodied in the foregoing para
graph. they are unjust to the corpor-
atoms; and, if theSstalwart papers do
not do so, they are unjust to the
people. The half breed press has
undertaken to make the stalwart
press synonym for the corporation
press. The an.vcorporation howl
to which the half-breed press is Civ
ing utterance, originated with Gov
ernor La Toilette in his desire for a
campaign cry thought to be the
most available one that could be
employed.

General Wood.

The New York Outlook, one of
the most conservative publications
in the country, and one which en-
joys an established reputation for
reliability, holds that the charges
against Gen. Leonard J. Wood,
have not been sustained, and that
his appointment to be Major General
is no attempt on the part of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to jump him over
the heads of superior officers, as has
been charged and generally under
stood. If Wood is the ranking
Brigadier General, and the vacant
Major Generalship is the next notch
above him, we see no sufficient
reason why his appointment to such
vacancy should not be confirmed.
The absurd claim that Gen. Wood
has no military record worthy the
name, is not sustained by the facts.
The records of the war department
show that Gen. Wood has military
record, and that it is an enviable
one. His promotion to his present
rank has been we'll earned, and was
attained before Roosevelt became
President.

Associate Justice.

The people of Wisconsin will
elect an Associate Justice of the SUI
preme Court at the ensuing April
election. Hon. L. K. Luse of SUI
perior has accepted call to stand as
a candidate for this high and honor
able position, the call having been
signed by prominent attorneys, with
out reference to their political affilia-
tons. His candidacy, has therefore,
that non-partisan standing with
which healthy public sentiment
seeks to invest our Supreme Court.
Mr.. Luse is native of this state,
having been born in Dane county,
in 1854. lie was a member of the
legislature in 1851, and practiced
law in Madison eighteen years, go
ing to Superior four years ago. He
is vouched for by prominent attor-
neys in different portions of the state
as a gentleman whose personal
worth and legal attainments make
him a fit person to occupy seat in
the highest judicial tribunal under
our state constitution.

Our Attitude Toward Corpora.
lions.

The half-breed press appears to
be laboring under the hallucination
that all newspapers opposing La
Toilette are corporation organs.
We are not authorized to speak for
others, but can safely say that the
JOURNAL now maintains the same
attitude towards corporations that it
did four years ago, when supporting
La Toilette. 1t is fact obvious to
all, that corporations are necessary
to civilization, but they should be
servants and not masters of the peo-
pie. We believe that corporations
should have a fair deal at the hands
of the people and that the people
should have fair deal at the hands
of the corporations, in return. We
believe that stockholders in corpora
tons should receive fair conpen-
sation for the use of capital actually
invested and legitimately employed,

A Monum ent for Bill Nye.

Asheville, Buncombe county, N. c..
Mrs. ]. M. Ransier, of Henderson

the enterprise, and contributions
are invited from the friends of Bill
Nye everywhere.
Edgar w. Nye was brought up in
St. Croix county and lived in Hud-

It would be neat thing for ST.

son in particular to contribute their
mites to the memorial fund.
The Star-Times is au thorized to
receive free-will offerings to this
cause, and has opened subs Grip

pose. Persons from any part OF

I have learned that there is now in
your city place of resort for farmers
and others who have temporary bust
ness to transact, and need q warm
place in which to rest and refresh
themselves, betimes, during their stay
in town, and, | infer, also a sort Of

avail themselves of the privileges Of

not fully understand the import of
what was there written, but / recall
that your name was given as the per-
son to whom contributions might be
sent, so I enclose five dollars IS .00)

There is q history involved in this
transaction which [ will now relate.
You can make such use of it as suits
you.
Not long before my daughter, Nellie,
died-almost thirteen years ago-there
was formed among the young people,
of certain class, in River Falls a
musical society called the "Choral
Union". I know that Mrs. Herman
dez, nee Anna Dodge, her brother,
Clarence, and Mrs. Curtis, nee Laura
Tozer, who died some years ago, be-
longed to it. These names, besides
that of my daughter, are all that l
recall of those who were members of
the society, which disbanded soon
after it was formed. Nellie was treas
urer. At the time of her death there
were three dollars and five cents in
the treasury. My friends know how I
was Frustrated at that time and for
some years after, but asked one or
two--notably she who was then Anna
Dodge--what / should do with the
money. She said she didn't know
and seemed Indifferent. No one
seemed to know, as the members had
disbanded. / have had much to think
about since then and the affair had
almost gone out Of my thoughts, but
when / saw the notice in print solicit.
ing contributions for the above OBJ
iect, and learned that the |. O. G. L.
had something to do with it, resolved
to make the sum five dollars, and ask
you to accept it,feeling that if the dear
departed know what is happening on
earth, Nellie surely approves. | be-
long to the w. c. T. U. If you have
the time, please reply and tell me- how
you succeed and make the plan and
object of your work clear to me.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. G. H. GRANT.
