HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
Manifestations OF Desire for Closer
Relations Between the Two
Countries.

Some weeks ago the Petit Bleu. of
Brussels, published a series Of ar
ucles on the oft-debated idea of q
closer union between the separated
parts Of the old kingdom Of the Low
Countries. The matter has now been
taken up by the Dutch and Belgian
press, and also by the German papers,
but no decision has been come to.
On both sides there seems to be q de-
sire for more intimate relations, but
as to the means by which this re-
suit Is to be brought about nothing
definite has been said. Union was the
dream Of William the Silent, and in
1915 1t was established by the con-
gress of Vienna. But the events of
1880 separated the two countries, and
as Holland and Belgium differ in re-
ligion, language and economic theories,
it is difficult to see how that which
failed In 1880 can be successful now
Belgium has mixed population, and
the Walloons, who speak French, and
the Flemings, who speak Flemish,
have never thoroughly harmonized.
The Flemings naturally turn to their
relations in the north, and look on
closer union with Holland as natural
and desirable, and 1t is among them
that the movement has it's chief force
There are many drawbacks to the
proposal, and the question of free
trade and protection is not the least
of them. But no harm is done by
the debate in the newspapers; and
whatever be the result of it, anything
that tends to strengthen the position
of the two little states will be cor
daily welcomed on this side Of the
channel.

THE past week has been a hot one in
the u. S. senate. Tillman has shown
conclusively that President Roosevelt
acted in bad faith with the democrats.
While Bailey has made it very evident
that Raymond" of the Chicago Tri-
hune, is falsifier and it is a much
mooted question as to whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Senator Chandler
should be branded as an Annanias. Any
way, the president has very much les
sened his popularity and strength with
the American people. The alacrity
with which he yells ''liar," at every
man who opposes him is very undig-
nified and some one of them will forget
that he is president of the United States,
and call him to account, for he is ''made
of clay and very poor clay at that"
The rate bill passed the Senate last
Friday afternoon by vote of II to 3,
the negatives being Forker, Morgan
and PettuS.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL NOTES.

The school closed Friday for the
term and the vacation will extend until
the first Monday in October. The term
just closed, in all departments of the
school, was the most successful of any
in the history of the institution. A
class of ten was graduated, though no
ceremonies incident to the graduation
was carried out. This has been the
policy of the school in years past. The
| names of those who completed courses
this year are as follows:
Henry Goodies, town OF Texas.
Walter Paff, g
Walter Nieman, Hamburg.
Henry Bauman Vein.
Ross Clark, Fremont, Ind
Annette Justensen, city OF Wausau
Clara Siewert, f" 6
May Bentz, g
Angelina, Sloan, town of Stettin
Lucinda Sloan,
These boys and girls are ready to go
out into the world and take up in an
Intelligent way the duties for which
they have been prepared to handle.
The boys will be able to carry on
scientific farming, make horse shoe,
draw plans for and build barn. The
girls will be able to put to shame any
boarding house cook and they can cut
out and sew dress and carry out the
practical ideas of good housekeeping
Their chances in the matrimonial field
are greater because of such knowledge,
for every man appreciates a good
house keeper. The graduation of these
boys and girls will also do much in
their respective neighborhoods of in
ducing other children to attend this
school After brief vacation, Princi-
pal r. B. Johns will go out into the
farming section, as has been his custom
in years past, and by talking with par
ents will make an endeavor to increase
the schools attendance next year. In
| this work he has been more successful
each year, the past term registering the
largest attendance since the school was
built and better grade of pupils.
Mr.. Bonnell, of the manual training
department, is engaged in putting the
roof on the schools barn, which was
lately erected, and after the windows
are put in, the structure will be painted
and allowed to stand until fall, when it
will be completed.
Some planting has been done on the
schools farm but not as much as would
have been done had the grounds been
in shape. AS soon as the city con-
structs sewer to the lower end of the
farm it is expected that perfect sys-
tenn of drainage can be maintained.

Would be a Strong Candidate.

Among the congressional possibilities,
or so we have heard it talked, is Walter
Alexander, of Wausau, the well known
and wealthy lumberman of that city.
As we understand it, the friends of Mr.
Alexander, rather than the gentleman
himself, are DESTROYS of his entering the
contest. He'd have strong support in
the district-Merrill Advocate.
From what the Pilot can learn, many
republicans from all over the district
favor MI. Alexander's nomination, but
whether he would accept, should the
honor be offered BIN, is question to
be considered In political matters
Mr.. Alexande Is as modest as a bash
full maiden, and in the past his party
has at various times attempted to get
him to run for high offices but he has
always refused. In 1904 he was freely
spoken of as a candidate for governor,
and had he chosen to accept nomina-
ton, would have received the support
of both wings of his party in Northern
and Central Wisconsin and very likely
| woulS have been elected, notwithstand-
| ing the machine power of Bob.
| If the people of the district vote a
republican into office for congress, al
the election next fall, we know of nc
man we would sooner see elected to
that position than Walter Alexander
We believe he has qualifications for the
office possessed by few in his party
His term in congress would be one OF
business, for he is business through and
through. His rise to his present station
in life proves that. VIC has lived in
Northern Wisconsin tne greater part OF
his life and is therefore familiar with its
conditions and what class of legislation
is needful to its best interests. And we
believe, further, that he would exercise
his best efforts to serve those interests
as he has alwas lent aid to every enter
prise in his home town and the valley
at large. He is broad minded, many
sided man. Take him in his private
and social life, few men in Northern
Wisconsin are better known or have
more friends. A man employing a:
much labor as he does, usually gets into
labor disputes and makes some enemies
yet, we believe it can be truthfully sale
that Walter Alexander has never in
Cured any dissatisfaction among his
crews by his treatment of them and, al
the Advocate says, he would have
strong support in the district, among
all classes.

The Platform Convention.

1t makes little if any difference to
democrats what either wing of the
republican party, in Wisconsin, thinks
Of the manner in which the democratic
party proceeds, more especially regard
ing the proposition to hold or not to
hold state conference or convention
1t will have no effect upon the ulti-
mate decision of the executive commit
tee of the democratic party, in Wiscon-
sin, whether the half breeds or the
stalwarts approve or disapprove of
democratic procedure. The democrat
ic party would be regarded with sus-
picion did it take its cue from either
wing or have the approval of one or the
other faction. Democrats will go ahead
in the interest of the people, entirely
ot4liyious of their existence, taking the
democratic masses for their guide and
their mentor in the matter.
But as the Fond du Lac Reporter
very correctly says:
ut is noticeable that the chief oppo-
sition to the proposed platform con-
vention of the democratic party has
come from La Toilette republicans. If
this opposition means anything it
| means that the La Toilette republicans
who are in power in this state fear the
loss of that power. They are alarmed
| at the almost unanimous opinion of the
democrats in favor of a convention.
| The whole fabric of La Toilette success
has been based upon the individual
instead of the party. 1t has been
La Toilette and his henchmen who
have controlled the political destinies
of Wisconsin, for the past five years and
not the republican party. In the de-
termination of the democrats to place
party above the candidates the La Fol-
| lette contingent see great danger
| to- their prestige. When the party
makes the platform and Announces the
issues, the business of the boss is gone.
There has been some inconsistent talk
about platform convention being an
attempt to evade the law, but in view
of the fact that one section of the pri-
mary law is expressly designed to get
around and evade the constitution of
the United States, the argument is a
poor one. The nomination of United
States senators at the primaries is a
direct evasion of the constitutional
provision for the choosing of these
officials, still there is no criticism of the
primary law because of this. On the
contrary it is generally considered a
wise measure. Therefore it is hardly
W CllUlClSC bu6
because of their desire to retain their
party organization and the supremacy
of the party over the candidates, even
though they do not follow strictly in
the letter of the primary law as matter
of fact, the talk about the wrong in
evading the law is mere political clap
trap used for the purpose of causing
strife within the party and disrupting
the present harmony which bids fair to
be so disastrous to the hopes of the La
Follettites. No loyal democrat will be
deceived by it."
And no loyal democrat will be de.
ceived; democrats are not looking for
halfbreeds nor stalwarts for advice and
about all there is to the republican
party today is that unanimity which
comes from their advocacy of demo
cratic principles stolen from democratic
statesmen and democratic platforms.

II. I'll. MANSON, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
was in Milwaukee Friday and Saturday,
making arrangements for holding the
democratic platform convention. 1t
was decided to hold the same on the
9th and 28th days of June in the city
of Milwaukee, at the Alhambra theater.
1t is expected that $50 delegates will be
present and that it will be one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings held in the
state for years. 1t is understood that
the various county committees of the
state will fix the time and place of
ward caucuses and for county con-
ventions, as in the past, Notwithstanding
the primary law. A call will be sent
out in this county and city in the next
ten days and ii is hoped that democrats
throughout the county will take inter-
est in seeing that fun delegations are
sent in to the county convention.

Good Words for Manson.
(Chilton Times,)

The democratic state central COM
mittee has decided to hold state con-
vention at Milwaukee on June ~.
Every move that the state committee
has made since chairman Manson took
hold of the wheel has been in the right
direction. The selection of Milwaukee
as the convention city was proper for
more than one reason. 1t is easier for
people from all sections of the state TO
get to that city than to other towns
named. 1t has hotel accommodations,
which is essential, for there will be a
large attendance outside of the regular
elected delegates Now let those who
believe in democracy attend the eau
cuses and conventions and send their
very best men to represent them in
Milwaukee,

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years
of Torture.

For more than twenty years MIR. j. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en-
dured during this time is beyond COM
prehension. Nothing gave him any
permanent relief until he used Cham
belain's Pain Balm. One application
OF that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has affected a perma-
nent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try 25-cent bottle
OF Pain Balm ard see four yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale

as one who had been paid money by

suffer the consequences. Mr.. Mylrea
