No ONE who has closely watched polit-
ical affairs in Wisconsin the last few
years can avoid the suspicion If not the
conviction that the leaders Of the pres
ent faction in power have been merely
playing politics." in other words that
they have been seeking individual ad-
vantage under the pretense of devoting
their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors to the dear people. The
first great effort in behalf of the people
was to secure for them the blessings of a
primary election law. The sober judg
ment of the better class of citizens was
decidedly opposed to the scheme, and
experience is everywhere justifying their
distrust of it; but persistent effort wore
out opposition and the primary princi-
pie" was adopted. Yet the very first OPP,
portunity to apply it was turned down
by its sponsors; we refer to the refusal
to allow it to be applied last fall to the
choice for 9. S. senator. 1t was clear
case that Senator Quarles would beat
any other candidate out if popular vote
should be had, so the primary election
principle was for the time being put in
cold storage. And now comes the prop
osition to have railroad commission;
and the question is, shall the governor
appoint or the people elect? And the
governor and his obsequious followers
lay that the people, who can be entrust-
ID to choose judges and state officials,
10 not know enough to choose railroad
commissioners; therefore the commits
ion must be appointive by the governor

A BREAK between Norway and Sweden
IN the near future is far from an impos-
sibility. The relations between the two
countries are becoming more strained
every day, and the indications are that,
unless Sweden makes material change
in her attitude toward Norway, crisis
will soon be reached. Norway seems de-
termined to insist upon certain conces-
sions. II Sweden yields, their future re
cations will be more amiable than those
of the past. Ii Sweden makes positive
refusal, or practical refusal by continu
ing her policy of delay, break between
the two countries it not at all unlikely.
Public opinion in Norway seems to be
aroused to such a point that extreme
action will be taken before Norway will
put aside her demands for what she con-
siders to be her just due. The cause of
the difficulty is the demand of Norway
for a consular service Of her own. The
commercial interests of the two coun-
tries are not identical and Norway claims
that under an exclusive Swedish con.
sular service her industries are being ne
elected Norway is a manufacturing
and ship building country and wants free
trade; Sweden is developing her manu-
features and wants protection. The
needs of the two countries are different
and the Norwegians believe that their
interests will be better promoted through
a separate consular service. Just in what
manner Sweden will meet this move on
the part of Norway cannot be foretold,
but her agreement two years ago to the
policy which Norway insists upon would
seem to preclude any violent opposition.

RECENT Investigations show that the
number of students at the state univer-
sity who are supporting themselves
wholly or partly has increased this year
to between six and seven hundred, or
nearly one-third Of the total number. AS
q result of this increase, the kinds OF
employment which the students are TAX
ing up have grown in number and va
riety until now these self supporting stu
dents are doing everything from pressing
clothes and conducting barber shops to
keeping bees and giving music lessons
Even some of the foreign born students
such as those from Japan and South
America, in spite of the added difficulty
of not being familiar with the English
language, manage to earn enough money
to make possible tneir education.

FIN think that the

We OFTEN think that the very rich
must be very happy, but riches bring no
happiness nor content. The most per
feet serenity is found with those who
have learned to limit their desire, rather
than with those who have unlimited
means of gratifying their desires. To
possess home and those in it, who love
us, to have health and money enough to
satisfy our actual wants, these are the
elements absolutely necessary to con-
tented life. The man who has field to
pillow and plant, has better chance for
health and happiness than the man who
seeks by golf and other social diversions
to get the exercise and development that
the Lord meant be should obtain by
labor. Necessity forces US to do many
things that are for our good. Elk.

1t WOULD be an interesting thing i

1T WOULD be an interesting thing it
we could know the source of every dol
lar that is paid to ministers in the way
of salary-especially of those ministers,
we mean who have been making so
much ado about the 100000 Rockefeller
check. No doubt every one has passed
weary hours by day and by night in try
ing to find out what portion of it has
been honestly earned and what share
has been derived from tobacco, coal oil,
beef, STEEL and iron, and even sugar. OF
course, it requires sharp nose to detect
the faint, but Drs. GLADDEN. and the rest
are fraud-smellers from away back, and
no ordinary human being can hope to
deceive them.

The story telegraphed from New
York this week that an old German
by the name of Moritz Paul claimed
to be the grandson of John Paul
Jones, the American admiral, recalls
the fact not generally known that the
late General Lew Wallace was the
grandson of a sister of that distin.
guished seafishter. This sister was
born near Kirkbean, Scotland, and
subsequently came to this country set.
ting in Pennsylvania. Here 1t was
that David Wallace, afterwards gov.
ernor OF Indiana, met and married her
daughter General Lew Wallace, the
son of the governor was, therefore,
the grandson Of the sister Of Paul
Jones. About this relationship there
can be no possible doubt as the on.
cial records prove it conclusively.
Various plans for raising more rev
enue are being proposed as the deficit
continues and 1t is apparently impossi
BILE to reduce the expenditures until
the limit of taxation is reached. Every
plan, however, brings condemnation
on the head of the proposer, as wit.
ness the case of Senator Dick who
suggested the reimposition OF the
stamp taxes prevailing during the
Spanish war. Another suggestion i'd
o tax on tea and coffee; the proposi.
ton to reduce the tax on alcohol has
many advocates. There is no doubt
such reduction would stimulate con
sumption in the arts and manufactures
and thus increase the revenues The
most popular suggestion of all, how.
ever, is to reimpose the tax on beer
There is a. general feeling that thu
brewers can well afford to pay another
dollar per barrel and such tax would
put s30,000,000 year into the treas.
ury There is a report, however
which is generally credited. that be
cause of the heavy campaign contribu
tons to both parties. the brewers win
not be touched.
