DAYS TIGHTENING.

The length of the days at present is
practically 104 hours. In about six
weeks, or the first of March, the DAYS
will have heightened out two hours and
we will then see signs of return of
spring. This has been the most re-
markable winter we have had in thirty
years, and it taxes the memory of the
old timers to recall another like it.
Three years ago at this time we had
sixty-seven days of cold weather and
good sleighing-s something of rare
occurrence. This winter. is florists
green house compared with that one.
A winter of soft weather, such as we
are having usually produces plenty of
sickness but the city physicians report
that they are not being driven to death
with work just now. An open season
like this has its advantages and its
drawbacks. 1t causes a saving of fuel
but for the farmer it is usually bad for
it is likely to be followed by a failure
of crops.

If the city can not have both, a new
city hall and Improvement of the water
works, every good citizen will say let
the city hall go over for time but
the Herald believes we can have both.
Now is the PILOT finally Strengthened
out on this question as to what the
Herald thinks about the water works
and city hall?-Herald.
The PILOT congratulates the Her
aid upon its conclusions, that good
water must come before a city
hall, if we cannot have both,
whether the city can have both at
this time is matter which ought to be
determined before the contract is let
for the proposed new building.
The water commissioners have
already recommended the building of
a stand pipe on east hill, to furnish
better fire protection and aerated
water to the mains for drinking pur-
poses and the same will be passed on
this evening by the city council. This,
it is estimated, will cost 1871, 900.
The commissioners should, also, with
as little delay as possible, let the public
know what is necessary to be done
with the water works to give us pure,
clean water:
1. What plan must be adopted to
stop the growth in the pipes.
2. How to clean out the mains and
service pipes.
3. Whether it is not necessary to
change the location of the well to
higher ground in order to prevent the
possibility of future contamination.
4. Whether meters should not be
placed on all service pipes during the
time improvements are progress.
No. l involves the question as to
whether it will be necessary to con-
truct filtering beds at cost of from
$4,000 to s15O,OOO.
No, 2 may mean the relaying of our
system.
No. Z. If found necessary, means
large outlay of money
No. 4. Must come and will cost our
citizens from S25, 900 to $4,000
These are matters of which our peo-
pie ought to know before further prog
ress is made on the city hail.

THERE is refreshing evidence of SUBJ
stantial activity in democratic circles
in Wisconsin, and the new state chair
man, H. H. Manson, of Wausau, has
begun a series of visits to the leaders
and workers in different sections for
the purpose of comforting and advising
as to the best course to be pursued in
the matter of q through reorganization
of the party. Within the past week he
made such visits at Milwaukee and
Madison. Mr. Manson is evidently on
the right track, and if he continues his
policy of saving wood and not saying
too much for publication in the public
press at this time, we believe he will
accom- lish desired results. Democrats
everywhere are becoming encouraged
over the existing political conditions,
and especially in this state are the
prospects Frightening for much
needed party triumph. A good sign
for the future is the interest that is
being manifested in prospective candi-
dacies and quite list of desirable men
for the different state offices has al
ready been brought out. Those promi-
nently in the public eye are: For
governor-Senator Ernest Merton,
Waukesha; Assemblyman James E.
Coffiand, Richland Center; City Treas
urer w. H. Graebner, Milwaukee;
Melvin A. Hoyt, editor of The Milwau-
kee News; Col. George w. Bird,
Madison; DR.. Henry A. Lathrop,
Marshfield; Judge Aldro jerks, Dodge
vile. For lieutenant-gover Mayor
Burt Williams, Ashland; Joseph E.
Davies, WATERFOWL; Stephen Richmond,
Arcadia; William George Bruce, Mil
waukee. For secretary of state
Michael Clifford, Stevens Point; Mayor
Michael Higgins and James E. Simon
son, Racine; P H. Martin, Green Bay.
For state treasurer-V. j. Schoeneeker,
Jr, Milwaukee; Andrew Jenson, Ed

THE PLoT stated in its last two issues
that all the money the city has on hand
for the new city hall is $4,000; that
$4,000 is to be raised with the tax of
1906 and S15,0 900 with the tax of 1907
That is pretty close guess for the
PILOT. The fact is that $4,000 was
taken from the general fund and placed
in the city hall fund, SIS, 900 was raised
with the tax of 1905, and SIS, 900 will be
raised with the tax of 1906. The CITY
now has S25, 300 in the city hall fund.-
Herald.
1t is simply twedledee and twedle-
dunn. On the 10Th of September, alder
man Muenchow, of the LIST ward, moved
that $4,000 be transferred from the
general fund that $4,000 be collected
with the tax of 1905 and 5000 with the
tax of 1906, all to 60 into special fund
to be known as a "city hall fund"
Now, the first $15, 900 will practically be
collected this winter, because the tax
roll does not get into the hands of the
city treasurer until the middle of De-
cember, and the same with S15 900 in
tax of 1906, it will be collected next
winter. That for which the Pilot con-
tends is this: The $4,000 which was
transferred from the general fund can
be returned to the general fund at any
time previous to the time of letting the
contract for building the city hall, and
that the $4,000 to be placed in the tax
roll in 1906 need not be placed there if
the council sees fit to so vote, and the
amounts intended for the city hall can
be applied to our water works, if it is
found necessary to do so.

It's Primaries Now.

1t ever state was cursed with poll
tics and politicians it is Wisconsin.
Eleven months each year are given
over to discussing politics, picking out
candidates, fighting over non-essentails
and the other month arranging for and
attending caucuses and elections.
Much valuable time is consumed by
our legislature in remodeling election
laws and making new ones. The
result is that we are kept up in the air
all the time by few self-seeking poll
ticians. What will the harvest be? As
results near fruition, the harvest
promises more smut and chaff than
kernel. Constant political agitation is
slow poison to business and sure death
to honest government. 1t brings to the
surface the brazen, incompetent,
mediocre class whose arrant assurance
and egoism enable them to secure
public places, the honor and dignity Of
which is so disproportionate to their
attachments and environments that it
fairly takes ones breath away when he
learns of their success. The success of
this class Of politicians inspires others
of like kind to seek the most honorable
place. The governorship, once con-
sidered prize for honest manhood is
now looked upon as legitimate plumber
for every political microbe in the state.
In years gone by the man who aspired
to the governorship thought it beneath
his dignity and that of the office to go
about the state seeking support for it;
now gubernatorial candidates resort to
precisely the same political practices
adopted by candidates for county
offices, and go about the state seeking
votes in precisely the same way county
candidates solicit help in counties. If
these conditions continue to increase in
viciousness as rapidly during the next
five years as they have in the past, the
good people of the state who try to
make an honest living by keeping out
of politics will feel like migrating to
some far off country where reforms and
reformers are unknown and where
they can enjoy life without being i'm
portuned to attend caucuses. Wiscon-
sin is crazy mad from politics, polite
ally demented, so to speak. No matter
which way one turns, he sees nothing
but politics and politicians, the latter
outnumbering the chich bugs of '63 and
the potato bugs of every year, and
being thousand times more destruc-
tive than both. If the agitators would
let up for few months and give honest
people an opportunity to do little
work for themselves, what a glorious
time it would be.-Madisonian.

The estimated expenses will re-
quire every cent levied this year.
All that the city has on hand to
put into the water works, outside
of salaries and Incidental expenses,
is $4,000.
All that has been raised by taxes
for the city hall is $500 This
can be borrowed to apply on the
water works, if necessary, the same
as the money raised by taxes for
paying off the water bonds, has been
borrowed for the past eighteen
years.
No one knows the amount that
will have to be expended on the wa
ter works to assure a pure water
supply and ample fire protection to
our citizens.
1t is up to our taxpayers. If it is
their wish to have another city hall
now, in the face of existing condi-
lions, all they have to do is advo-
cateit and forever thereafter hold
their peace.
Ii they want a pure water supply
first, then they must urge upon the
members of the city council to stop
further proceedings on the city hall.
Every citizen has a right to ex-
press his honeSS convictions and in
doing so it does not follow that he
is making, or trying to make, any
criticism upon this or any other
city administration. The question
of pure water and good fire protec-
ton is of great Importance as it eff
fects every home in the city, more
especially the poor.
Let the cry be for a pure water
supply, to be furnished the city
ahead of any other public improve
ment.

OUR national taxation exceeds the
national taxation of the German en-
pire by 1912, 100000 year. And it can
not be said that this is due to the fact
that the American republic has 10000,
900 population while the German en-
pire has less than 10000, 900 because the
per capita of the taxation is greater in
the United States than it is in Germany
and if we equalize the population we
would still be taxing ourselves $50, 000,-
900 year more than the Germans tax
themselves. The total amount raised
by taxation in the United States is
1915, 2S9, FOG while the total amount
raised in Germany is S302, 799, 600 and
yet with these exasperating conditions
confronting him the stand patter stands
pat.

Pure Water VS.. City Hall.

The PILOT feels that it is pursu-
ing course that is Just to the tax
payers and the entire community,
and especially to the small tax-pay-
ers-which means the poor of our
city-when it advocates that anoth-
er city hall, at a cost of $75, 900
should not be built until such a time
as can definitely be determined the
cost of putting our water works in
condition to furnish, for all time,
pure and ample water supply and
fire protection surpassed by no city
in the state.
The contract for another city hall
building has not yet been let.
1t must be advertised, let to the
lowest bidder and approved of by
the city council.
1t will harm no one to stop pro-
ceedings.
Wausau has city hall which will
answer all purposes until such a
time as the city is able to build
another one.

A little son of Mr.. and Mrs. V. j.
Splaine, 707 Washington street, met
with a bad accident Sunday morning.
The boy, who is five or six years of age,
was going to take a bath, and after the
water had been turned into the bath
tub, jumped in. The tub which was an
iron porcelain covered one, had a
piece broken out oft, leaving a Jagged
edge. The little fellow struck the calf
of his leg against the rough edge,
cutting a cash and opening an artery.
He was at once dressed and taken to
and though he will perhaps
suffer no serious consequences, he is
very weak from loss of blood.
