THERE are some democratic papers
helping the Eastern capitalistic press to
knock Roosevelt. However the heft of
abuse OF the president comes from re-
publican quarters. And it is interest
ing for a democrat to see how Roose-
velt's republican critics jump at every
little chance to knock him. This paper
is very far from approving some of the
presidents recent acts; but when there
are great evils to battle with we do not
feel much like making hue and cry
about little ones. The president is far
and away better than his republican
traducers.

Lost on the Ice on Lake Erie.


No landmarks can be seen. There is
? nothing by which to direct course. A
man may easily be lost and wander I'M
til overcome Too often this has hap
pened, and hardly a winter has passed
without some such disaster.
A man so lost will often trust to the
instinct of the dogs to find a way
home through the bewildering storm
and gloom. Sometimes, however, even
the animals have been at fault. In a
recent case a fisherman with three
= dogs was overtaken on the homeward
way by sudden tempest of wind and
snow. To see even a few feet must
have been impossible, and even the
dogs must have been overcome with
fright or found that they were unable
to guide themselves In the right di-
rection. Still, though two were loose,
they did not desert the man. When
the searching parties found him on the
following day he was dead, frozen to
death, but the dogs with him were
alive. Cne dog, which had not been
embarrassed, was mad, however, and
had to be killed at once.-George Hib-
: bard in Harper's Magazine.

The complimentary banquet and re-
ception to be given in Madison next
Friday evening promises to be one OF
the most elaborate affairs of its kind
ever given in Wisconsin. Col. Bryan
is to deliver an address at the Monona
Lake Assembly in the afternoon OF
July 2Sth. The democratic members OF
the legislature few weeks ago held a
meeting and voted that banquet and
reception be rendered Col. Bryan on
the evening of the above date, by the
democrats of Wisconsin. A committee
was appointed and the members of the
same have been diligently at work
making preparations and the result
will be notable gathering of the DEM
ocrats on the above date. The banquet
and reception will be held at the Park
hotel.

has started the fight on the special state

A letter received from the secretary
of one of the leading county fairs in the
state, shows that many of the small
county fairs are also plundering state
funds. In quoting from this letter,
narles are suppressed, as the writer did
not wish to have trouble with the Off

We know that this letter speaks the

the Marathon county fair. We were told

The INTERSTATE FAIR
At Lacrosse Prepares to do Some
Grating Under the New Uni
form ~ Fair Bill.

In its issue of two weeks ago the
PILOT published full copy of the arti-
Gle in the Marathon county fair pre-
MUM book, in which the management
of the fair showed up the schemes by
which the Northern Wisconsin State
Fair at Chippewa Falls was preparing
to swell the amount of state aid allowed
by the new fair law, by putting their
hired attractions in their regular pre-
MUM list in order to increase the
amount paid out as premiums on which
their 40 per cent. of state aid is COM
puted
The premium list of the Inter State
fair at Lacrosse, just issued, shows
that this fair, also specially favored in
the new law, is not satisfied with the
special aid allowed by the state, but
wants in addition to obtain more of the
states money by graft methods. On
page SO of their premium list they offer
special premiums for the following
attractions, which everyone knows are
hired and are only put under the head
of premiums to cover up deliberate
attempt to steal state money:
81 For the best regimental band
in the National Guards of the Il, j.,
states of Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin. Bands must
at least play two days during
the fair. .......................... .$40O 90

3 For the best performance, two
or more performers, parties
entering for this speciality act
will be expected TO give daily
performance at least once
each day during the fair and

the directors may decide
worthy of ELECTROMAGNETIC. 10000
