We all admit that telephones are a
great convenience, yet they occasionly
make man feel like breaking the
third commandment. Some times on
busy day when work is rushing and
your phone rings twenty-eight times
and only two rings are of any import
ance, the other twenty-six being calls
from some one wanting to speak &c
your help, the inquiry being is Miss
IMP" This takes two from their
work twenty-six times, and some one
has to pay for all that lost time in
addition to the annoyances. 1t doesn't
look just right, now does it? During
working hours, phones In business
houses, at least, should be used for
business only.

Frank Brostowitz, of the town of
Sigel, who owns portable saw mill
which he moves about to different
localities, has been saving lumber for
the last three weeks for the farmers
in the lower part of the town of
Saratoga, on the east side of the Wis
consiE river, near the Wakley ferry.
1t will be pleasing news to the old
settlers Of this county to know that
he has been saving logs that in 1861
1862 were put in the Wisconsin river
as boomage and piers. The farmers
have fished them out of the river and
it is surprising to learn what high
grade lumber they have got from this
material. Besides these water soaked
logs of course they have been saving
jack pine, scrub oak, soft maple and
birch, and have been producing there
from much high grade lumber.

John ID. Rockefeller's hopes for an
Immunity bath have gone glimmer-
ing. He will not be served with a
subpoena to appear before the grand
jury III Chicago to testify before
that body called for next Monday to
investigate the relations between
the Standard Oil Co. and the various
railroads centering in Chicago. The
government officials said that should
he be called before the grand jury it
would be necessary to grant him
immunity from further prosecutions.
The government wants to reserve
Mr.. Rockefeller's august presence
for a more important occasion when
lie will be required to appear in a
case at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 4.
Whenever John ID. is brought into
court there ought to be something
doing, but there is nc telling what

A CANDID EXPLANATION

From a criticism made by the
White Lake Wave concerning the
Huron Huronite's statement that
with passes abolished by state legis-
lation the state would be a loser by
having to pay $4,000 railroad fare
for its state officers. the Wave has
learned that when a state officer
travels on a pass the state does not
have to pay his transportation. This
is what the Wave said which brought
out the information:
The Huron Huronite, ultra stall
wart, opines THAT the next South
Dakota legislature will enact a law
penalizing the use of passes by the
state officials and says this will save
the railroads $50, 600 a year and lose
the state just that amount. In view
Of the fact that the state has always
paid the travelling expenses of its
officials, even when they rode on
passes, we do not clea ily understand
how such loss can accrue to the state,
unless it will hereafter have to pay
such expenses twice, but a lack OF
logic never seems to worry the stall
wart press. 1t apparently takes it
for granted that the people will swal-
low every statement without investi-
CATION.
State Auditor Halliday, who is in
a pretty good position to determine
what the state is required to pay
out, makes the following reply::to
the Wave article, and it will also
convey to a great many people some
information which has been lacking
along that line, for it is the popular
supposition that a state officer with
a pass works the state for his rail-
road fare:
The Wave is either woefulIy ivnor-
ant or thoroughly unreliable II, in
its statement THAT the state has
always paid the ''traveling expenses
of its officials, even ii they rode on
passes.' il mean that the state has
paid railroad fare under those con-
ditions it states an absolute untruth.
With the exception of the attorney
general, whose Office is governed by a
special law. no state official. elective
or appointive, draws one cent for
railroad transportation when travel
ing ON a pass. Ii the Wave is not
ready to admit that it does not
know what it is talking about. it's
editor is invited to go through the
vouchers in the state auditors office
and il he can find single instance
to substantiate his. statement this
writer will pay MIN ten dollars per
day for the time spent in looking the
matter up. liz he finds, as he GER
tainly will: that he has not a peg to
stand on, all w request in return
is a frank admission thai he has
stated an untruth. 1t is now up to
the Wave to make good.

The nomination OF Governor Cum

Thirty thousand retail merchants
in Iowa are banded together in the
Iowa State Federation of Mercantile
Associations, the prime object OF
which to fight the Invasion OF the
catalogue houses in that state. Iowa
merchants have been fooling IN a
desultory sort Of way for several
years in trying to overcome the evil
OF the mail-order houses, and num-
|erous little plans have heen tried
without results. At Des Moines a few
days ago this new association vas
organized and with the backing that
they now have it is ..claimcd that
some impression can be made. The
new organization viii bring pressure
to bear on the manufacturers and
jObbers to ecure an agreement from
them not to sell their goods to ca,a-
logue houses, and with this agree
ment secured and enforced the back
bone of the catalogue house business
will be broken. When the nanufact-
urer sells his products direct to the
catalogue house at from Is to 30 per
cent cheaper prices than lie does to
the iobber and to the retailer there
is little wonder that the catalogue
houses are able to complete success
fully with the retailer. This is the
biggest move that has yet been made
to attack the influence of the cata-
loyue house and we hope it will win.

MR.. BRYAN AND HIS OPPONENT

La a review OF the presidential
handles the Bryan end OF the propo-
sition in a manner to indicate that
the gentleman is to he reclloned
with in presidential possibilities. IN
the course of which the Press says:
MIR. Bryan is the one commanding
figure in the democratic party and
the general expectation of his third
nomination for the presidency is
we'll founded. Within his own there
is no competitor in sight. x \
With a wave Of feeling democratic
conventions two months AGO swept
him along on the crest. He was
strength. Since then bis prestige
has visibly declined. This waning o:
his star-not decisive but enough to
make everybody feel its due to his
own fatality Of utterance. He could
not hold his tongue. The moment
the agitation began he had to be
again the agitator. by declaring
that be is mole radical nov than he
was in 1896 he wiped out much OF
the impression that Through years
and experience AND travel he had
become more safe and sane. By
repeating his silver heresy he indl-
Gated that he had learned little.
Above all. this ir%repressible gable
shows that he lacks poise and re-
straint Is much as yer He will
return to plunge irin s'rifc AT Of ::
lie Mll: ha,- nS II os.AntIalc Il~as-
ures to propose; he will seek TO
make up for it ty outradicaling radi-
calism and he will continue on the
descending scale.
Nevertheless Mr.. Bryan is a canai-
date not to be despised or underrat-
ed. He has personality, he has
magnetism; he has the faculty OF
developments it will be necessary for
the republican party to face him
with no ordinary candidate. 1t is
not surprising that, with The GER
tiahty of his nomination, we lear on
many sides in private talk and
public intimation the suggestion
that President Roosevelt, notwitb-
standing his own wish and determ-
ination, Will have to run again in
1908. 1t is a natural thought in
veiw Of his extraordinary hold OF
the people and of his supreme en-
bouiment of the great policies which
fill the public mind. But it is a
thought which cannot be entertain
ed. President Roosevelt will not
run again. He has passed his word
to his coutrymen and will keep 1T.
He is opposed OH principle to a third
term and he %conceives that for him
to be a candidate would violate that
pnnciple.
But the candidate, whoever lie
may be. must represent the policies
which President Roosevelt embodies,
and must stand for the same ideas
and purposes AS far as possible. To
Mr.. Bryan must be opposed a states
man Of force. personality and char
acter. 1t is sometimes said that any
one of a dozen names that ave been
mentioned will do. But this is not
true. The range of choice is not
great. 1t is large enough. however.
to permit a selection which will
meet the requirements Of. the coming
contest, and to that selection lepub-
lican thought must in due time DE
addressed. The absolute exclusion
of President Roosevelt by his own
unalterable will makes the utmost
GaIe necessary.
