What Of Russia?
sections.

Russia is down and out. This is true
as far as being a 'world power" is con-
cerned for many years to come. The
larger part Of her navy is at the bot
tom of the Pacific and the balance is in
the hands of mutinied crews. The
Gar is powerless. He may issue de-
crees but he cannot enforce them. His
people have rebelled.
What the result will be is difficult of
conjecture-it depends upon whether
the people are possessed of sufficient
intellectual force and moral stamina to
resolve it's elements into a sensible and
stable government. This is a difficult
operation for a people not given to
participation in government affairs.
AS individuals learn to do by doing, so,
too, do peoples. The Russian individual
has had nothing to do with government.
In the collective he may or may not
rise to the occasion. Education is with
the few-the many are totally ignorant
of public affairs. But in a popular
government the many must act-at
least they must choose the actors.
If in the juncture the Russians break
away from the oppressors and choose
the few liberal minds that are avail
able and persist in a desire for good
government, the bear may in the future
become the emblem of great nation.
On the other hand, the likely donin-
ance of the conservative forces will
produce that slight degree of mitigation
that is unworthy of the occasion and
results in continued strife not unmixed
with oppression-the half doing that is
not worth doing at all.

The New Philadelphia.

Philadelphia has changed her clothes,
she has polished her escutcheon. She
has buried the past. Sic has opened
the door Of the future 1t has been
said that when rogues fall out honest
men get their dues" This has been
verified in the city Of Brotherly Love.
Mayor Weaver was elected by the
the gang. He had been one of them,
had moved with the current and been
a beneficiary of political jobbery-had
been what the political ''fnanciers'
STYLE a ''safe" man. But the gang
got too strong in its entertainments
upon the rights of the public. The
mayor said it wouldn't do. He drew
the checkrein and the team became
unruly. The gang pressed its demands
and trouble followed. Mayor Weaver
Joined hands with the people and the
battle was on.
The mayor won the first fight. The
gang was defeated, but it's foundation
strength, the gambling houses and
brothels, were yet in running order
The mayor realized that to accomplish
complete victory, these places must be
closed. A raid was ordered.
Out of the dives were brought men
and women of the so-called respectable
class, people who had fattened upon
gang rule, the element who had ruled
the city Thus the victory was made
complete by routing the machine be-
hind the gang.
And Philadelphia starts anew. Be-
gins life again without these terrible
Influences that have overcome every
effort toward reform. This should be
an object lesson to every city, every
locality. Gambling and all it's associate
vices should be routed, first, because
it is wrong in itself and, second, because
it is the basic strength Of corruption in
public affairs.

Have Wolves Been EARNED?

The Barron Shield makes the follow
ing observations regarding the new
bounty law:
"a new law passed by the last legis-
lature and now in force practically puts
stop to the heretofore profitable
business known as ''wolf- farming
''The bill is an amendment to the
wolf, wildcat and lynx law and sets the
price to be paid for the scalps of these
animals by each county in the state
The county must pay $500 for each
scalp of wolf under six months Of age
and $40 for those Of mature wolves.
For wild cat and lynx scalps the county
must pay bounty of 81. The state
also pays a like amount making a total
bounty on wolves $500 for the young
and $40 for old.
''The new law is of special interest
to Barron county. During the season
just closed the county clerk has paid
S. 90 each on 1913 wolf scalps. Of this
number only q were old ones and only
one a female. Had this law been in
force this spring and the same number
of scalps brought in, it would have
saved the county 1910. The object,
however, is not to save money, but to
put premium on the old wolves and
make the raising of young ones unprofit-
able, thus Kidding the county of the
pests. -
The intimation that wolves have been
farmed' would appear to have some
support in the fact stated that but one
out of % mature wolves brought in for
bounty was female. If wolf farming
has actually been INDUCED in, it is we'll
that it should be made improbable and
that a severe penalty should be pre-
scribed What is wanted, as the Shield
says, is g radiance of the pests and
that measure is the best that will re-

The Season

Again the northwest is in the midst
of a wet season. From all sides comes
news Of furious storms. Rivers have
swollen, overfown their banks and car
ried away property. Homes have been
carried away and people left without
shelter, if they were fortunate enough
to escape the floods. Crops have been
destroyed and over the vast prairies
rain and hail have wrought disaster
All this should be a lesson and an in
spiration to the people Of Rusk county,
We have rains-too much rain by far
but our homes are secure, our fields
are not flooded and our focks are not
washed away.
The current news involves too many
disasters by flood to permit even men
ton here. From Canada to the gulf,
and even from Old Mexico come re-
ports of loss of life and property.
How about Rusk county? Everything
is secure. The Rusk county farmer is
sefe. The elements may delay his
operations, may hamper his plans, may
aggrivate his temper, but his property
is secure.

John Hay.

The death of Secretary John Hay re-
moves from the government one of it's
greatest characters. For over forty
years he was almost always the occu-
pant of prominent position in the gov
ernmental force. AS private secretary
to President Lincoln he entered the SER
vice of his country and left it only at
DEATH
John Hay was an able man and an
honestman. He was shrewd diplomat,
but an open, candid one. John Hay
knew what he wanted and he obtained
it. His treaties were all that any man
could secure.
Mr.. Hay was man of breadth. He
wrote history, fiction and poetry with
about equal ability-all with capacity
and versatility that was captivating.
Everyone will regret the death of
Mr.. Hay. They will regret it from
many standpoints, but all win regret.
His place cannot be fully f1lled-there
is no. man who can bring to the position
the ability Of Hay, together with his
agreeable acquaintance in all foreign
capitals. John Hay was free from
buster or pomp-he was plain, able,
we'll rounded man. We regret his de-
parture; we revere his memory.

While the practice is not without OBJ
lection, it is still fact that no posi-

for political advancement than that of
public prosecutor. The objection lies
in the fact that desire for reward may
inspire over-zealousness in crusades-
