seems clear that those who advocate
the bill do not realize the possibilities
of the situation. They have not
taken a glimpse far enough into the
future to see what an enormous value
is to be attached to the rights which,
under the provisions of this bill, are
to be given away to private individuals
without the slightest compensation.
One of the most salient features of
the question seems to have received
no attention-that of the importance
of water power as cOntraSted with that
derived from coal, the common source
of present day power. The relative
Importance of the various sources of
power is discussed in an ably written
paper by Pref. N. S. Shaler in the
current number of the international
Quarterly. The members of the
legislature would do we'll to read this
highly instructive article. The
inclination to give away vast water
power privileges would very probably
be checked.
There are four main sources of
power-the wind, the water, the
timber and the coal, mineral oils and
gases. The first of these, although
capable of almost unlimited power,
has not been used to any considerable
extent. The timb of the country is
OF no great value as fuel for manufac-
turing purposes and isalmost neglible.
The supply of coal and oil is also
limited and is in process of rapid
exhaustion. The time will come
when these sources are insufficient
for the needs of industry, and the
whole nation will of necessity come
more and more to depend upon its
water powers. Under the pressure of
extreme need the winds and the tides
will be utilized for industrial purposes,
But the water powers. which are
permanent sources Of supply, will
prove of greatest service and value
W nat would be the condition in
wisconsin if the state should be de-
prived of the use of coal? Industry
would be almost entirely dependent
upon water power and upon that
produced by the winds. Is it not
clear what would be the consequences
of granting monopoly over the chief
water power of the state, if in time
the Industries of the state must
depend very largely upon this water
power? The value of such a grant
under these conditions is almost
beyond the imagination. The more
the legislators think of this proposed
law, the more they will be convinced
that the bill should never pass.-Mil-
WauKee Journal.

SCOTT-WALTERS

For this occasion the Scott home
was decorated with American
Beauties, carnations. pinks. Easter

TWELFTH NIGHT

The Beaumont Daily Enterprise
had the following to say regarding
Shipman's ''TweifGh Night" after its
production there last season.
Twelfth Night" as presented, was
just one hundred per cent better than
the Twelfth Night of Marie VAIN
wright last season. Miss Charlotte
Burnett as ''Viola" was infinitely the
superior of the older actress of greater
reputation.
The young lady of last night was
capable and will grow in favor as 81 E
returns South. MeSSrs. Mccarthy and
Wilson as Sir Toby and Sir Andrew
were very clever. Miss Irene Eckis
was also very good. She did all that
her part required and a bit more
The people of Beaumont must be
educated to certain actors and
actresses, just as other people are.
Shakespeare, however, will be made
popular by such productions as that
of last night. Miss Burnett will be
welcomed in Beaumont again, and the
writer trusts that large Beaumont
audience will greet her. She deserves
it,"

AS A MAN THINKETH

Until you have learned to control
your thoughts you will never be able
to live godly and righteousolife. AS
man thinketh in his heart. SD is he,
and 1t is because the thoughts we
entertain in the hosteIry of the soul
are such worthless and vain ones that
our words and acts often bring so
heavy a disgrace on the name we
love.
When the heart is right, the ear
and the eye and the mouth and the
foot will necessarily obey its prompt
ings; but when the heart is wrong.
filled with tides Of ink, like the
cutie fish, it will envelop itself
with the impurity to which it gives
vent.
II you habitually permit evil things
to have their right of way through
you or lodging within you, remember
that, in Gods sight, you are held
equally guilty with those that indulge
in evil acts, because you are withheld,
not by your fear of him, but by your
desire to maintain your position
among men.-F. B. Meyer.

W. H. CAREY
COMPLIMENTED

VIM. Fl. Carey, of this city, travelling
representative for the Prudential
Life Insurance Company, was in the
city of New Richmond recently,
looking after the interests of his
company. Will certainly made an
impression upon the editor of the
Republican Voice, as in recent issue
of that paper we found the following
item which will explain itself: Bill
II, Carey of Grand Rapids, an old La
Crosse friend Of this column, was in
town on Thursday to do little
plugging for the Prudential Insurance
Company of America, and to get
acquainted with some of the people
here and visit with his local agent,
f. B. Finnegan. Mr. Carey is paid a
large salary to impress upon every body
he comes in contact with that the
Prudential is the very best thing
that ever happened in the way of life
insurance, and we believe it for two
reasons, namely: first, because Bill
says so; second, because he is too big
man by far to argue the thing with.
Great company that: you ought to
take a half day off some day, whether
you are going to buy or not, and let
Bill tell you that piece of his about
the Prudential. 1t skins anything
we have heard since Bclva Lockwood
was backed off the boards. The
Prudential is what put down The war,
drove the snakes out of Ireland and
makes the hair grow in one night,
according to Bill Carey's say.

START RIGHT

1t requires no more time to start
right in the poultry business than it
does to start wrong. We have in mind
lady who had been in the pure-bred
poultry business all her life. She
knew nothing else but pure-bred
poultry. When she married a young
man, her husband felt that he could
not afford to get good poultry SO he
bought any old thing. That is what
they started with and it is what they
had until short time ago when 1t
became necessary for them to remove
from where they had been living.
She sold her scrubs at SIS per dozen,
and she now says she will start with
nothing but the best pure-bred
poultry. She has seen the other side
of the business and has become
convinced which is the best.
We have found that when people
start wrong it is the most difficult
thing in all the world TO get right
again. Some people would rather be
wrong at nominal expenditure. In
beginning with turkeys or chickens
it is well to start right. We know a
young newspaper man who started
right because be believed in 1t and he
made more money the first year than
he could have done with scrubs in
three years. He is now ready for
business and will soon have very
profitable trade.
1t will not pay to start with diseased
stock any more than it will with
scrubs. If any difference we would
rather have to go the Ratchet route.
1t does not pay to breed from diseased
stock.
There are several ways Of starting;
any of them may be on right lines.
The first will be in buying eggs from
pure bred stock of the chosen breed.
Another way is to start with pair
| or trio of good stock, and still
another way is to buy good pure-bred
males and by keeping this up for four
II
| or five years one will have a very
good start. We believe any of these
TO be good way to start and choice
| will depend On the conditions. Buy
ing eggs will require less capital than
either of the other plans, and we may
say that the latter is probably the
one that will require the longest time
to bring about.
Whatever method is employed it
| will pay to start right. 1t is SO easy
to start wrong when one has started.
1t is much harder to get right after
starting wrong than to start right in
the first place. Pay no attention to
any gibes that may be thrust at any
person who may pay what they con-
slider fabulous price for stock or eggs.
| We remember that we had to GO
through this thirty years ago when
we paid 81 for our first sitting of eggs
and that money seemed to have been
the best investment we ever made.

FIRE LOSS SETTLED

Silyerman Brothers have made a
settlement with the various insurance
companies through their attorney,
w. E. Wheelan, in which they ac-
cepted So, $50 90 in full settlement Of
their insurance of $4,000. This closes
the matter of difference between the
companies and the Silverman Brothers
as far as the insurance is concerned
that they carried on their stock OF
merchandise, that was recently con-
sumed by fire.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE WATER POWERS

When the effects of Senator Wiper
mans bill granting franchise for a
water power monopoly in the WiScon-
sin river valley are carefully
considered, there is no escaping the
conclusion that it would be nothing
short of criminal for the legislature to
give it's assent to such a measure. 1t
