that mittee informed of ev-
cry step this government takes
in it's for aign policies. AS a
result diplomatic negotiations
have proceeded more promptly
and effectively in the present adj
ministration than is usual. Mr..
Hay is not a cordial man and
private griefs have made him
appear even more reserved and
distant than he actually is, so
that the criticism o. lack of
sympathy between the secretary
and the comittee is ften heard
1t is urged thatif he would meet
the Com mittee and "talk things
over" it would be more effective
than the Presidents messages
but Mr.. Hay is not a talkative
man. On the other hand he has
been more scrupulous than any
of his predecessors, in giving to
the com mittee all the information
in our foreign negotiations, and
amply furnished the material for
their conferences and debates.

Notes From Washington.

In the fifteen days that remain
of this session, Congress, it is ex
pscted, will do strenuous and con-
tinuous work regardless of the
holiday on the twenty second OF
February and the Sundays inter
vening between now and the
fourth of March. There is, of
course, much talk in political and
in journalistic circles concern
ing the difference between the
President and the Senate, but
the talk is suppressed and anx-
ious. The situation is regarded
as OminouS. Both ends of the
Avenue are the subjects of vindi-
cation invective according to the
feelings of the respective dis
putants. It is almost universally
regretted among serious people
that the issue has been sprung
at this time and that it is so
sharply defined. For a born
fighter the President is the most
pacific executive that has ever
been in the White House. The
big stick is under his arm bu t
the olive branch is held aloft as
by no other president. An a.
bitration treaty prepared by Mr..
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefo"te
during Mr.. Cleveland's last ad-
ministration was voted down by
the senate to the great disgust,it
is believed of enlightened, peace
loving people of the Anglo-Saxon
race on both sides of the Atlantic
and in all the Islands of all the
seas-a few mad Celts, Of course
excepted. And in two years
thereafter England had an op-
portunity to most conspicuously
show her friendship for the
United States when all Europe
was muttering threats and this
country was not unappreciative
Of the somewhat more than
moral backing of the ''mistress
of the seas" But now when the
Canadian boundary question has
been settled and when the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty is no longer
a pebble in the shoe of either
country, and another arbitration
treaty is as it were, awaiting only
the signatures Of the high con-
tracing parties the difference
between the President and the
Senate has put it off indefinitely.
Secretary Hay has not availed
himself of his right to attend the
meetings Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations as many of his
predecessors have done, but he
is most punctilious in keeping

One Type of striker"

This winter III former winters,
in this state and in other states, the
legislative striker" is early and in
dustriously at work with his little
dill providing that makers of propri-
etary medicines shall be required.
under penalty, to print on the label
of each package, or perhaps elbow
in the glass the exact formula upon
which the medicines are com pound
ed.
The professed anxiety OF this
worthy moving him in his unselfsh
and philanthropic work, is that the
dear people may be protected by law
from medicines whose ingredients
they do not know. His real anxietv
is less noble, is even frankly selfish.
Owners of proprietary medicines, be
argues as he has been arguing for
years, are usually wealthy They
can afford to buy him up" If by
his threadbare. trick of legislative
biackmail he may coerce them into
doing SO: it will be good money in
his pocket without any of the bother
or inconvenience of honest work.
The marvel is that reputable men
in the state legislature can persuade
themselves to become the tools of
such creature, even to the extent
of introducing his bill "by request. "
1t is representa- tive of class of bills
whose blackmaiIing quality is famil-
lar in every legislative body. and is
undeserving of-any recognition un-
der any circumstances.
Added to this is the the fact that
the legislation proposed contem-
plates the unconstitutional act OF
infringing and destroying privato
rights in private property.
The great Edison is the inventor
and owner of numerous ingenious
electrical appliances that are safe
guarded to him by the pledge of the
government patents. No one else,
without his permission, may manu-
facture or sell his appliances, for the
law in recognition and reward of his
individual skill has made them and
the method of their construction his
individual property.
On this same ground the protec-
tion of any reputable proprietary
medicine is justified and even de-
manded if law is to be fair. The
manufactures may or may not have
patent literally, but he has a,man-
ufacturers secret, and his secret is
the guarantee of his exclusive en-
ioyment of the business with his
individual skill has created Let the
law require that there be printed on
every label this mans private for
mula, and the individual property
right in the thing he has created
ceases. Anybody may then use
indiscriminately whas belongs only
to him as really as an Edison patent
belongs only to Edison.
Neither New York state nor any
state can afford to be thus obviously
unjust in it's w-making; the less SO
when the chief beneficiary is certain
to be the man who is out for what
be can get. AS to the plea, always
maudlin and disingenious, that the
people need protection, it is enough
to answer that the people are as
competent to decide for themselves
what medicines they shall use, as
what food they shall eat. If they
are not competent, S tate laws can
not help them. Editorial Clipping

TURBULENCY is the word that

TURBULENCY is the word that
might express more clearly than
anything else the condition that
continues in Russia The labor
troubles that commenced few
weeks ago, continue to spread,
although in localities the officials
have succeeded in restoring a
condition of quiet. The univer
sity students and the common
people al. over Russia are de-
handing in no unmlstakable
terms a constitution and amore
liberal form of government, and
every thing indicates that the
whole country is arming and
preparing for revolt. The Gar
sits back and receives his in
structions from the Grand
Dukes, and seems to be showing
that he has no particular in
dividuality of his own. The gov
eminent is rotten, and the peo-
pie, despite their ignorance, are
awakening to the fact; and as a
result the royal house of Russia
is beginning TO totter to its fall.
The war in Japan is not pro-
crossing with any satisfactory
results, and the com non soldiers
are losing spirit, and it may be
said many of them are almost
on the point of mutiny. Con-
fidence in the government and
and its rulers has practically
vanished, and free Russia is
among the things that may be
be looked for at not great dis
tant day.

President Roosevelt is aveng-
ing himself for the silence which
must have seemed long indeed to
him. during the campaign. No
thing but the convention or form
that the president should not
speak during the campaign could
have imposed upon him the
silence which he maintained so
successfully. Now that the
restraint is removed, the
President fits from dinner to
to dinner delivering speeches of
such variety and excellence that
one wonders at his versatility
capacity. OF all the various &C
cusations that have been
brought against the President,
no one has ever yet insinuated
that his speeches were written
for him. Roosevelt is essential
ly a man who must speak for
himself and his addresses while
covering the widest range of
Subjects are without exception
original, and characteristic of the
man. In the last two days he
has delivered four speeches all
good, and one just made in Little
Hungary, one of the best he has
yet made. Perhaps if he had
occasion to have made two
more day for the rest of the
week he could have done it with
out falling below his own high
standard. In order to account
for the versatility of the man it
must be remem bered that he is
a writer Of books and there is no
denying that the habitof writing,
like thatof talking, does facilitate
the expression, The president
is able easily, almost without
apparent effort. to dictate d
speech to good steno grapher
in such shape that he can deliver
it without correction. He pos.
sesSeS to a remarkable degree
the faculty of concentrating his
mind on a subject and closing it
for the time to all others. Hence
when he is composing speech
to Little Hungary he forgets the
Hibernans he may be going to
address tomorrow. If he is pre-
pairing d talk on good citizenship,
congress and it's recalcitrancy
for the time cease to exist. His
stenographers are, Of course the
best. They are menof education
who can fill in necessary data
from blue books and encyclope-
dias, so that when the President
looks over the manuscript he has
only to make another selection of
a word here and there for the
article to be fully prepared for

A HOT fight on the mayorality
of Ashland seems to.be in store
for the present spring. Mayor
Williams is again a candidate.
and is being opposed in the pri-
ma - by G. A. Lamoreux and
Jack O'Neil. Mr.. Williams has
a strong hold on the voters of
Ashland, and with SO able an adj
versary as Mr.. Lamoreux there
is no question but that the cam
paign will bring out many inter
esting features. Either of the
two gentlemen would make an
ideal mayor.

WASHINGTON, S BIRTHDAY was
observed appropriately in Wash
burn, nearly allof the business
houses closing for the whole or
part of the day. People are be-
coming more patriotic as years
roll by, and the day on which the
greatest American ever born is
observed, is becoming more and
more popular each year.
JUDGE PARISH has the cir
cult judgeship matter practically
his own way, and will undoubted-
ly receive more votes at the polls
this spring than all OF his oppon-
ent com bined. Judge Parish is
confident as to what the people
will say when they come to
choose his successor.
IT begins to look as though
Judge Irish would have no OPP
position for re election as county
Judge. He has made an ideal
officer, and there is no call for
a change from any quarter.

SOME of the people Of Iron
River have conceived the hand
some idea that they would like to
have acounty seat esta blished at
that place, and in order to secure
it, they have started movement
to organize new county. which
is to be carved out Of territory
from Bayfield, and Douglas coun-
ties. Iron River always was
somewhat noted for its ambitious
tendencies, but this latest break
goes beyond any of it's former
pretentions. Bayfield, County is
at the present time very happi-
ly arranged affair, and the rest of
the county could not bear to part
with the charming town across
the county. Douglas county also
prizes the coveted territory, and
it would be a real mean shame
for the Iron River people to walk
away with all this good northern
Wisconsin stuff. Senator San
born introduced the bill for the
Iron River people, but It is not at
all likely that it will find it's place
on the statute books al any near
day.
A BILL has been introduced in
the legislature to make no other
than lawyers eligible to the Office
Of judge of the Iron River court.
That bill ought to occupy about
one thousanth Of minutes time
in being killed. This idea that a
few lawyers have that they are
the only ones who can hold ju-
-dicial positions savors very much
of egotism, as it has been de-
monstrated time and again that
some of the best men on the
benc.. never were lawyers, but
got their good sense through
having a sufficient amount of
gray matter in their skulls, and
lots of good common honesty
back of them.
