Smooth Mr., Pfster, the millionaire
owner of the Milwaukee sentinel, man
ager of the city street car-lines and 9th
er corporations, has very cunningly had
himself acquitted of the Indictment re-
turned against him by the Milwaukee
grand jury, Notwithstanding the fact
that the courts may not reach his case
for some weeks or months But the
corporation-owned newspapers through
the state have been given the bunch 60
yelp, and they obey. The subsidized
newspapers and lawyers may lead some
guileless people into the belief that the
settling of civil action by Mr.. Phster
overturns the action of grand Jury and
case in court, but not many except
those who accept their opinions ready
made. The CENSOR hopes Mr., Pfste
will be able to clear himself Of the seri-
Gus charge. 1t does not, however, be
lieve his move to blind the public by
cunning will improve his case.

WISE WORDS, TRULY.
No Matter Who Spoke Them, Their
TrEth Is Evident.


Senator Scott Of West Virginia is
scored in some places for quoting Pres
ident Lincoln in support of the policy
Of standing pat on the tariff issue, and
some Of the critics appear to doubt
that Lincoln ever used the words at
tributed to him. The words at least are
good enough TO have been used by the
war president Senator Scott says,
President Lincoln once remarked that
ff we gave $50 a ton for iron rails made
IN this country we would have both
the rails and the money, but IL we
bought them in England the rails only
would be ours" 1t hurts the Demo
crafts 10 have such words spoken as
quotation when there is doubt about
their authorship, but it matters not
whether lincoln used them or not,
neither does it matter IN the argument
whether the rails under consideration
are iron Of the days Of Lincoln or the
steel Of today or that the prices are
now said to be SIS in this country and
$50 in the countries over the Atlantic.
The money and the rails stay in this
country just the same. The policy of
protection to the industries il to pro
feet and not to haggle over the prices.
