public men at a time when he was Just
beginning to reach the zenith of his in

politics az member of the legislature
he has been prominent ia shaping the
politics of his state. He possessed the
faculty of gaining popularity to re-
markable degree which with sore Of
natural ability made his advancement
easy. After spending scarcely two terms
in congress be became recognized among
the leaders in that body. AS public
speaker he had few equals and was fast
coming to the front as one OF the useful
members in shaping the destinies of his
country. Laboring always under the
handicap of poor health, his accomplish
ments have been all the more remark
able. To those of US who knew him best
his strength Of mind and virtues Of heart
and charming personality made him all
the more beloved. Wisconsin has too
few such characters and it's loss will be
more severely felt as the years go by.

The acquittal of Secretary OF State
Houser on the charge Of attempted brib-
cry of Insurance Commissioner Host
was expected The code Of moral ethics
that has prevailed at the capital during
this reform administration did not make
the acceptance OF any kind Of tainted
money crime for the purpose of defeat
ing the wicked stalwarts. Insurance
money was no more Objectionable than
school book money when the campaign
fund was low. The most interesting
thing about this incident is the recrimi-
nation going on between these selfsame
reformers and the threats that there is
more yet to be told of a shady nature
Gradually the people will come to know
these fellows in their true light.

Water Powers of Northern Wisconsin.

Water Powers of Northern Wisconsin.
In no state are water powers destined
to be of greater Importance than in Wis
consin. The developed water power has
increased from 33,700 horsepower in 1870
to $4,000 in 1900, but so far as known on
no important river in the state has all
the available power been developed. In
paper by L. s. Smith, just issued by
the United States Geological Survey as
Water Supply and Irrigation Paper No.
1876, are discussed the developed and un
developed water powers in the drainage
Oconto, Wolf, Wisconsin, Black, Chip
pewa and st. Croix rivers, and on the
streams tributary to Lake Superior.
This report which may be obtained on
application to the Director of the United
States Geological Survey, Washington,
d. c., contains profiles of all streams
that have been surveyed, all information
regarding stream flow, and descriptions
of conditions at points where power is
developed or available.
The United States Geological Survey
is now making additional surveys of
streams in cooperation with the State of
Wisconsin. This work is in charge of
Prof. L. S. Smith of the University of
Wisconsin. During the present fiscal
year the State OF Wisconsin and tie
United States Geological Survey has
each allotted $3.50 to this work. This
work is being pushed as rapidly as the
available funds permit, and its extension

AFTER all the mean things said about
each other by Houser, Host and Freer, it
is refreshing to learn that former Secre-
tary OF State VIM. Ell. Froelich has decided
to become acandidate for that office. His
administration was clean and clear of
scandal, leaving record the people are
proud Of Mr.. Froelich is among the
most popular Germans of the state and
has strong following among his coun-
trymen. We view his chance of receiv-
ing the nomination at the primaries very
good. Having tired of the reformers the
voters of this state are now ready to go
back to the plain people.

Weed killing ia Made Easy.

Wild mustard, cookie burs, dandelions
and yellow dock can be exterminated
from the fields of grain by means of an
inexpensive spraying of the crops with
sulphate of iron. This IS the result of a
series of experiments that have been car
ried on at the university farm by Prof.
r. A. Moore through the department Of
agronomy. No matter how thick the
wild mustard may be. by a spraying
which costs no more than 50 cents an
acre, the weed can be absolutely eradi-
Gated, without any injury to the grain
crops.
These experiments will prove of ines
Unable value to the farmers of the state
and nation and will give Prof. Moore a
high reputation for his labors in this
field.

What is an Americana.
From Tie Waterman.


The common use of the term American"
calls for definition of Its meaning In a
broad way it is used as referring to the
United States and Its people. Some obJec-
ton has been raised to this by citizens or
other countries on the American continent:
but they all have special and convenient
ad1ectives TO designate themselves and
their countries while the United States has
meme The term American has not SO
much been appropriated by this country as
applied by others for lack of a more spe-
cine word; and the Instructions of the Ia re
Secretary OF State John Hay to consuis
ana ambassadors TO use the term American
as applied to their official position was nor
an assumption, but an acceptance or q
common usage. But within our own bor
GERS and among our own people there are
ulStlhctlonS. Among our citizens we hear
some spoken of as foreign-born, foreigners
ana English. Irish, French. negroes ana
americans" Is this correct? We submit
that 1t Is not. 1t is correct to speak of
foreign-born and natives. or even of those
or foreign ancestry and native ancestrv.
but one person born in the United States
and citizen of the United States has as
much right 10 the name American as any
other. 1t is conducive to good citizenship
and patriotism and to good feeling To
obliterate as far as possible race distinc-
tons among our people and all stand to-
gether as Americans" It has always been
the custom In this country to class "a a
ment OF negro blood. This. also, is unfair
and unreasonable. The rule of the ROYAL
commission in South Africa is rather to be
commended. The children of half-castes
and all having a greater strain of African
blood than half-castes are to be classed as
and white person are to be classed as
white.

Special cabIegrsm to The star
CON6TANTNoPIE. May 3s.-Inter-
viewed upon the subject OF the floating dock
Dewey in the Suex canal. Thomas Suther-
land. the expert. this week said:
IT think It Is worthy Of note that some
what remarkable operation has been ac-
compiished by the Suex Canal Companys
service in passing the Dewey. floating
dock of altogether exceptional dimensions
through the canal. not only without hitch
or accident of any kind. but without In
the least degree interfering with the ordi-
nary traffc.
This mammoth structure Ii being lowed
from tho United States 70 the Philippine
Islands. and has 50 far successfully &C.
complished Its long journey. But the- transit
through the Suez canal was viewed with
some natural anxiety on account Of the Pc
culiar dimensions, especially IN beam and
depth. These dimensions are: Length, 500
feet: beam. Ia feet: depth. nearly 90 feet;
tho lifting power of the dock being 10000
tons As the draft Of water on the dock
was at the same time only eight feet, the
dffftculty Of towing q huge body OF this
construction through narrow channel
was sufficiently obvious and the liability
TO cause delay to the busy trafic OF the
canal was equally apparent But by ex-
cavating tgo additional cares, or sidings
and taking advantage of the room available
at Tfmsah and at both ends Of the Bitter
lakes. the canal officials succeeded in get
ting this awkward craft through from Port
Said to Suex within four days, notwith-
standing that bad weather was experienced
curing part OF the time. and happily with
out any perceptible interference with the
ordinary business of the company
From a nautical point Of view this oper-
alton Is highly creditable to the skill Of all
concerned
