Presidents Message.

The presidents message to congress
| evinces the spirit of a campaigner.
He backs and balks at nothing. He
has decided on certain issues that should
be enacted into the law for the good
OF the country and he has placed them
before congress in the strongest poss-
ible light.
This is what some people cali undue
influence of one department. of the
government over another.
But the people who made the con-
stitution provided for messages, and
message wouldn't warrant the name if
it didn t say anything. And even a little
undue influence that is influence that
would be undue under normal conditions
would not be improper with the pres
ent stalwart senate and stalwart faction
in the house.
AS the News sees it, the presidents S
message is a strong document and one
that ought to appeal to the people, if it
doesn't to the corporation members of
congress.
And the future of national politics
depends almost exclusively upon con-
gress. If the stalwart standpat COR
poration faction controls, look out for
an upheaval.

unanswerable question. If the paper
company takes the lighting business
in hand, we shall probably have good
service. If, on the other hand, IS is
rumored, the plant is to remain under
the Observation-Disclosures control
then the public should nurse its tenn
per. In the mixup and scramble to
settle with creditors conclusion
would be but guess and perhaps a
poor one at that.
The News has hoped that the light
concern would be held intact and that
the 200 horse power, plainly belonging
to the concern, would be at command.
This would give 100 horse power of
cheap power for other purposes, and
be an attraction to manufacturing con-
Germs. Every citizen who has the in
terests of Ladysmith at heart should
wish for such result. Perhaps the
promised contest on the transfer of the
water power franchise will produce the
desirable result.

Getting New Busine ss.

The News has during the nine
onths of it's existence been persistent
urging upon the people of Lady
NTH that they should push for more
lsiness enterprises. The tendency to
rap up in their individual businesses
characteristic of all people~-espec-
lily in newss section where opportun-
les are numberless. Personal activi-
and desire to get ahead is meritor-
Gus, but the interests of the public
should not be neglected. There are
some things that come upon the merest
invitation. The News has recently
taken occasion to several times men
Son the possibility or probability of
securing a brick yard in Ladysmith.
Last week we said:
In recent issues the News, exclusively
of course, commented on the Importance
of getting brick yard opened here.
We are in receipt of renewed inquiry in
the matter This party wants to know
something of the probable demand.
He is an experienced brick man, favor
ably inclined. He asks business ques-
ton. Who will answer? Are you going
to build next spring? If so, about how
many bricks will you want? This ought
to be easy to say, and if the concert of
answers will bring a brick establish
ment, the answers ought to come at
once Think about it, talk about it,
tell about it, and let US have another
business Institution.
Now if Those who are qnite certain
of using brick next year will say so,
that will help materially in the mat
ter. This is not to be deemed a con-
tract nor order, but simply an index to
the probable demand.
Outside parties want to know some
thing about the field-what they could
probably do if they came here. If
those people in Ladysmith and neigh
boring towns who will want brick next
year will say so, it may have the eff
feet of securing local establishment
and that is certainly desirable.

Baptist Items.

The fifth anniversary of the Baptist
church was held on Wednesday, Decem-

All reports show steady increase

nicely.
Supper was served between the af-
ternoon and evening, which was spent
in social intercourse The following
officers were elected.
Paul Feist, deacon; D. H. Mather,
trustee; w. N. Mackin, clerk; Mrs.

For a long time there has been much
contention by the interested public
that the sheriff's fees have been out
of proportion to the services rendered.
In the past the county board has taken
a hand in the matter. At the present
time the bills that come from the
sheriff's office go through the mill with
out mutilation.
To illustrate, a bill of the present
officer for a trip to Waupun of $66.25
is passed in full.
A bill of the former sheriff for a
trip to Milwaukee of $S821 is cut by
the committee to $50 and by the board
to $39.21.
A trip by the present sheriff to
Oshkosh costs 5000 and is allowed in
full.
A trip by the former sheriff to Mil
waukeea much longer one-is charg-
ed at S88.21, passed by the committee
on accounts at $50 and cut by the board
to $3921.
And the former sheriff asks who was
''skinned?"
An insane case to Mendoza under
the present order of things cost $780,
81.
A bill of the former sheriff for an
insane case is cut by the committee
to $1,000 and by the board to $56.51.
A bill by the present officer of $134.-
60 for getting couple prisoners as
far as Abbotsford, where they got

away, was passed without scissoring.
And one by the former sheriff of
$116.3 for taking man to Milwaukee,
over the same route, was cut by the
committee on accounts to $86.75 and
further reduced by the board to $67.-
81.
And Ex-Sheriff Sergeant wants to
know who was skinned.
Further figures and comparisons
might be made.
The News, in it's present rushed
state, is not inclined to follow these
matters to the question OF who Is right.
1t is sufficient for this week to note
the variance in the amounts allowed
the two officers. The question is, why?
MeGill passed upon Shesiff's Sergeant's
bills and the present district attorney
passed upon Sheriff's True's.
Another item that provokes comment
is the charge of 5000 for every "a
hours that prisoner is held in Lady
smith, besides the expense for meals
and lodgings. There are those who
think that the sheriff's salary ought
to cover that item. This expense in
one case amounted to $48.0O.

The Grafter's Career
With Apologies All the Poets and Those POLITICALLY Inclined
But None to the Grafers.

When times become strenuous for fakirs
And the lime light is turned on the scene
To learn all the facts in relation to
What this, that and 'tother may mean;
It is then that the gay gifted CRATER,
The fellow who had posed as peach,
Learns with dismayed apprehension, that
He is not the only pebble on the beach.
When mulcted corporations go under
In where ''might isn't right, .
And the road to success is in darkness
Because the junk pile wouldn't give light,
1t is then the machine building stawart,
This most amabe corporate leach,
Determines with deep CONSERVATION, that
He is not the only pebble on the beach.
When his good kind old uncle goes frownng
Where smiles would be great treat
And no longer there friends to confde with
Nor well-wishers in numbers to greet;
1t is then that the cientless shyster,
With the goal SO far out of his reach,
Concludes with his ego showed under that
He is not the only pebble on the beach
But such is the fate of all grafters,
Their careers must all come to end
Though they fight it with all desperation
And to win out every effort may bend;
For manifest destiny has decreedit,
AS the gods and the gospels well teach,
That the whining and whelping whfits must fin
They not the only pebbles on the beach,
