- Labor Famine. -
Milwaukee journal.

Milwaukee journal.
Our country is suffering from "lab-
or famine'-a famine not of very bad
sort.
1t is most unusual famine, for the
world has seldom seen one before.
1t would not be deplorable if there
were more of them or if the present
one should last long time.
A few weeks ago the southwest was
calling for 100, 900 men, and as the har-
vest moved northward the unsatisfied
demand for labor followed it. Though
big wages were offered, men were not
to be found for the fields.
Manufacturers, railroad contractors
and public works departments are hav-
ing the same troubles, not only in the
western and central parts of the coun-
try, but even in slow-going New Eng
land. Everywhere the demand is for
more labor, and it is unanswered. The
vast food of immigration, far surpass-
ing that of former years, operates only
as drop in the empty bucket.
A dispatch from Pittsburg says that
railroads entering that city "are in sore
straits for men," Advertisements have
been appearing in the Chicago papers
for men to fill positions as conductors,
brakemen, etc, at wages that once
would have been very tempting. The
age limit, established last year, and
that excited such indignant opposition
among workmen, has been raised by
some lines and by others wiped out en-
tirely.
Men under almost any conditions and
at almost any price is the demand, and
the men are not 20 be had.
This summer has had no dull per-
iod. 4" Through all the hot season, when
manufacture and trade usually suspend
a little of their activities, while sizing
up the business prospects Of the coming
year, there is no shutting down, but all
loaded freight train darts like shuttle
through the loom of trade.
Yet the present activity of the rail
ways may be regarded as holiday work
compared with that which will soon
devolve upon them in moving the boun-
tiful crops.
Is the condition really one of famine,
or one of harvest?
The labor of the land is reaping a
rich crop of increase in wages.
Is it not an ideal condition which sup
plies every man with work at good pay?
The 5000, 600 individual depositors in
the savings banks of this country, last
year, with their So, $50, 600, 600 deposits,
will be greatly increased this year.
Such famine" as this is welcome.
May it long stay with us!

Fireworks at State Fair.

The night visitors to the State Fair
will be well repaid for visit to the
grounds after the daily programmes.
Some little idea of the extent and
grandeur of the fireworks exhibition,
conducted by the Pain Fireworks Com
pany may be gathered from the follow
ing reference to this part of the pro-
gramme to be given nightly: A royal
salute of aerial maroons; grand and
complete illumination of the park and
ground, with constantly changing col
ors; flight of mammoth meteoric bal
looms, which arise with dazzling bril-
liancy, changing as they rise, to spi-
raj formation; marvellous polychroma-
tic production, rendered by the dis
charge Of thirty large rockets simultan-
eously, enveloping the sky in all colors
of the spectrum in mad tumble of
picturesque confusion; the discharge of
four national bombs of large size, in
red, white and blue; presentation of the
beautiful Southern Cross, and many
other wonderful specialties. State Fair

ideal Newspaper Fiction.

Stories of newspaper scoops on mat
tiers of current news are many, but it is
seldom that a newspaper can claim a
beat upon a popular novel. Such tri-
umph in the discovery of popular nov
ell was recorded recently by the Chicago
Record Herald when it printed serially
THE Wings of the Morning, by Louis
Tracy. The judgment of the paper has
since been verified by the unprecedent-
ed sale the book has had, both in the
United States and in England. The
Record Herald keen judgment in fc-
ton enables its readers to get the best
novels often before they reach the book
stands, while its policy of giving just
the right amount daily and Sunday
makes it pleasure to follow its serials.
A radical departure in Sunday jour
nalism was marked by the advent of
the Sunday Magazine of the Record
Herald. 1t is particularly strong in
fiction, both serials and short stories,
and it has all the other attractive feat
ures of the famous illustrated weeklies
and monthlies and challenges compari-
son with them.

THE REAL VALUE.
How All Literature Is Contained In .
Few Great Books.

Young people must every now and
then hear II said or see IL written that
all the real value in literature can be
put upon n small shclf--that Is to say
the really important part Of ali that is
written Is contained in a very few
good books, all tie rest being either
unimportAnt or different ways of say
Ing the same things that have been
said before. The statement, of course,
Is not true II ii be taken literally.
There are certainly many hundreds.
perhaps thousands. of books that CON
tain original thog hts or experiences
that are truly valuable: but. generally
speaking. the best part of all that las
been written is to he found in n few
volumes. TO understand how this Is
possible we must remember that near
ly all rules are the same rs other and
simpler rules. In arithmetic. for ex-
ample. the whole science consists OF
only four simple ways Of treating num-
bers. We can add. subtract. multiply
and divide. and that Is all we can do
to numbers. The r"st OF the book is
only the working out Of these four
rules: thus all of the arithmetic could
easily he put into Il little page that
one could carry IN the vest pocket
All behavior, all right living, Is also
set forth in Il few simple laws. These
Illustrations will show what Is meant
by saying that all literature Is contain
ed In few great books. The Bible
and the works of few famous poets
and essayists contain all human wis
dom, and these are within the reach OF
every purse.-St. Nicholas.

THE finding Of ten new indictments
with an aggregate of 6,42S counts
against the Standard Oil company, will

the defendant corporation be convicted
of all these counts and even assessed
the minimum fines, they would mount
well up into the millions. That the cases
win be contested as bitterly as is pos
sible where the best legal talent in the
world is at hand, goes without saying.
But after time the cases win reach
the supreme court and final decision
will be rendered In the meantime, the
railroads will be sufficiently impressed
with the seriousness of the situation to
stop paying rebates, even to the Stan

DAVIDSON WINS
MAJORITY FROM $4,000 TO 10000
Babcock Likely Nominated
Vote Light Throughout State
NOMINEES FOR COUNTY OFFICES

The first tryout of the new primary
election law for Wisconsin took place
on Tuesday. The newness Of the nomin-
ating system, the non-belief in it, and
the odd season of the year for ralylng
at the polls, all tended toward Il light
vote.
Davidson's majority for governor OF
from 35, 900 to 40, 900 is such as to cause
him to Justly feel elated and grateful
after the strenuous campaign. Balance
of state ticket too close for certainty at
this writing.
In this section there was more activ-
ity in the contest for congressman than
any other. Mr.. Babcock had his forces
well in hand, and as a result he is prob
ably nominated.
Nominations in the county resulted
as follows:
Co. Clerk r. E. Gribble, Republican
Harvey Jones, Democrat.
Treasurer Thos. II. Hoskins, Rep.
John Rowe, Jr., Dem.
Sheriff James Michigan, Rep.
Geo. W. Holmes, Dem.
Clerk of Court Thos. Gibbon, Rep.
John r. Eagan, Dem.
Dist Attorney. N. Treweek, Rep.
Jas. f. O'Neill, Dem.
Reg. of Deeds T. j. Paynter, Rep.
B. II. kreul. Dem.
Surveyor X. l.. Joiner, Rep.
II. II. Arthur, Dem.
Assemblyman d. j. Morris, Rep.
A. G.. Roethe, Dem.
Only about 50 per cent of the voting
strength Of this city rallied at the pri-
mary. Davidson carried the city as
did Babcock by larger majorities than
any Others wherein was competition.
In the towns of Minrral Point and
Wadwck Mahoney was exceptionally
strong This county gave Davidson
about 900 majority and Babcock from
100 to 10.

if the President is vague and uncer-
tain as to our status, is it any wonder
that department and bureau heads and
conGressmen, and the general public
are?
and why should the President have
this vagueness Of thought on the sub
ject of our status? Is it not, in all
probability, because we have urged
with such persistency the socalled re
fund hill'-a measure which no Terri
tory has ever asked, but which IS ex-
actly in line with what is allowed in
eject, to our insular possessions? The
context of this recommendation, and
the line of thought running through all
that the President says in his message
regarding Hawaii, bears out this sup
position.
The star has never been very cordial
toward the refund" proposal, and has
more than once pointed out that it is
very dangerous to our status, Many
in the community, however have
thought it was a good thing and have
worked for it accordingly.
But Speaker Cannon has warned Ha-
wall against It, He has declared that
inevitably it must operate as a maxi
mum limit to appropriations for these
Islands, whereas, it may well be, that
II appropriations were asked for on
their merits they would often amount
to a great deal more than the seventy
fve per cent Of the federal revenues Of
the Territory asked for in the bill.
It may yet prove that Speaker Joe
Cannon is the best friend We have in
Congress-. 1t will indeed seem so II 1t
shall prove that the agitation for the
refund BILL" shall be the cause of our
being permanently degraded from the
status of a,-territery and relegated TO
the status Of an island dependency.
