ing popular favor, and yet within one
wear Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new
catarrh cure. has met with such sue
cess that today it can be found IN ev-
ery drug store throughout the United
States and Canada.
To be sure a large amount Of adver-
Using was necessary in the first IN
stance to bring the remedy to the at
tention of the public, but everyone Ia
mlliar with the subject knows that
advertising alone never made any ar
ticle permanently successful. It must
have in addition absolute, undenlable
merit. and this the new catarrh cure
certainly possesses in a marked de-
gree.
Physicians, who formerly depended
upor inhalers, sprays and local washes
or ointments, now use Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets because, as one OF the most
prominent stated. these tablets con-
tain in pleasant, convenient form all
the really efficient .catarrh remedies,
such as red gum, blood roo and SIM
liar antiseptics.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate,
and are given to little children with
entire safety and benefit.

Politics In Court.

AS stated In last weeks Tribune
the anti-LaFollette faction has made
application to the Supreme Court to
compel the secretary OF state to GER
tify that the boilers state ticket is
regular. The complaint fills about
eight columns Of print. In the table
of self-termed stalwart delegates
claimed to have been elected to the
state convention are included all OF
the contested delegations and the
unseated delegation from Milwau-
KEGS second ward, and some others
besides, they make up their pretend
ed majority. 1t proved an easy mat
ter to get what they wanted from
the national convention through po-
litical maneuvering, but 1t must be
another to get it from Il court OF
Justice. This action is asking the
supreme court to give a decision
that will be squarely in opposition to
the law OF the state.
Section 80, Wisconsin statutes of
1898, says:
When any person Is nominated
for the same office by more than
one party or convention his name
shall be placed upon the Official
ballot under the designation of
the party which first nominated
him; or if he was nominated by
more than one party or conven-
ton at the same time, he shall,
within the time fixed by law for
filing certificates of nomination,
file with the officer with whom
his certificate of nomination is
required to be filed a written
election indicating the party
designation under which he de-
sires his name to be printed on
the ballots, and it shall be so
printed.
Eleven of the thirteen candidates
for the office of electOr on the Re-
publican ticket have filed the writ
ten election required by law, and
that election is to have their names
printed on the regular Republican
tick ct, together with the state ticket
headed by r. NJ. LaFollette.

Intelligent Agitation and lis Results.

| Neenah Daily News:
Agitation Of matters that concern
the peoples welfare is the only
means whereby progress along such
lines Is possible. Men who are coura-
geous enough to be agitators are en-
titled to the gratitude of the people
of a city, county or state. No more
positive evidence of the good that
will follow intelligent agitation ever
was furnished than the result of the
first assessment of railroads in Wis
consin, following the enactment of Il
law which embodied the principles
of equitable taxation of the property
owned by railroads, AS advocated by
Gov. LaFollette the past eight years
In Wisconsin, thought out by the
common people who have supported
the governor, and applied by the
state tax commission.
by means of application of the av
erage rate of taxation, paid by other
property, t. the property owned by
railroads in Wisconsin, the railroads
will pay into the state treasury this
year S2,607 ,0i46o. Such is the re-
cent announcement of the state tax
commission, after applying the prin-
| ciple involved in the ad valorem tax
alton law passed by the legislature
Of 1908.
The railroads in Wisconsin will
therefore, pay the state S659,039. 26
more than under the license that has
governed its payments in Wiscon-
sin heretofore. The advance is not
burdensome; it is not out by proper
ton with the amount paid by any
other property holder; it is entirely
Just. lhe ad valorem system makes
the railroads with their millions of
dollars worth of property, and the
citizen with his cottage worth $500,
pay the same Just rate for the sup
port of the state-no more and no
less. This is in accord with the plat
form promises of the Republican
party of Wisconsin on which Gov.
IaFollette was elected. 1t is In ac-
cord with his eloquent advocacy of
the principles involved. 1t is evil
dence that in this one reform, M
least, the much accused and much
abused governor of Wisconsin had an
eye to business for the people whom
he represents.
To GOV. La Toilette, therefore, for
his intelligent advocacy of the law
and his agitation of the cause among
the people, and the state tax commits
sion for application Of the law the
legislature of 1908 spread upon the
statutes, let all honor be given.
And that suggests: The highest
expression of that honor may best be
brought about by providing rail.

Result Of Senatorial Courtesy.

Even the loss of few cungression-

be considered as very serious evil.
But those thirteen votes look large

Maryland included, the thirty nine
votes OF New York, and the thirteen
votes of Wisconsin bring him within
twenty eight electoral votes OF a

than the division in the electoral
