Get your young friends to seat them

The best results are obtained by

The Recent Election.

The election just past carries with
it the conviction that the people are
progressing in politics. All along the
line there is evidence Of this fact.
In our own state of Wisconsin the
republican party has won again with
handsome majority. Why should it
not? The candidates have promised
that past reforms shall be made per
n1anent and that further progress along
similar lines shall be realized as,rapidly
as ossible. The people have in recent
years secured what they wanted. They
knew what they wanted, secured it and
voted for more.
Governor Davidson was taken at his
word. He has pointed to his record
and has said "that is what | shall give
YOU" The people believed him and
gave him two years more at Madison.
Backing up the governor, the people
have selected a legislature that assures
desirable legislation.
That reform legislation is to con-
tinue in Wisconsin is a fact beyond a
reasonable doubt. If there are any
lapses the lapses will hear from the
people.
During the campaign there has been
a lot of talk about harmony-a united
party. Don't be fooled. A United
States senator whose term is about to
expire may profess to be in harmony
with all that he has repudiated in the
past, he may be momentarily followed
by his cohorts-but that doesn't make
harmony. The discord is there just the
same-it is there by the DEGREES of
manifest destiny" and all the pre-
tense of those with axes to grind can
not remove it. Look for strenuous
times in Wisconsin politics and you
will not be disappointed.
In other states we see signs that the
people are voting fer principle or what
they take to be principle, it amounts
to the same thing in that they want to
vote for something tangible and in the
end they will succeed.
The News is pleased to see this shak-
ing up in politics. Let parties know
that they must do something for the
people and they viii do it. Let them
know that pretense is not an available
substitute for performance and per-
Torrance will be the order of the day.
The American people may congratu-
late itself upon the appearance of who

Parasites in Politics.

The st. Paul Dispatch, one OF the
cleanest and clearest Of newspapers IN
the great northwest, and perhaps the
strongest editorially, has the following
articles on discomfort as the parasite 81
orr political life. It is written in the
peculiar style Of the Dispatch, stating
. few essential facts and leaving to the
reader to fill in the weave to the warp
which is supplied. The Dispatch is one
of those papers that believe in honesty
in journalism and it is one that purposes
leading rather than following public
thought. 1t is not afraid of agitation
as agitators but rather believes that an
intelligent public will profit by all the
stirring which their joint and several
"thinktanks'' received. Bryan and
Hearst andRoosevelt andLaFallette are
in the eyes of tho Dispatch, digging out
the thought which the public will digest
to the betterment of national policy and
conditions. The following is the
article:
All the progress individual or race
ever made is due to healthy discOn-
tent. The periods of danger to indi-
vidual or race are those Of content
ment and those of safety and progress
are those of discount. For, during the
former, that constant quantity among
all peoples which works by David Har-
UNI S golden rule, finds in the apathy OF
the content9d its opportunity to secure
privileges that despoil common right.
And it is in the intervening periods OF
unrest and agitation that these privi-
leges are challenged, attacked, modi-
fed or revoked and transmitted into
com mon right. So now, when the
holders of privilege or their advocates
lament present discomfort and marvel
at it's existence amid such prosperity, -
so benignly created by legislation, none
need be afraid
But it is always and everywhere the
44o,,Ioa+ of d;coo,,+o,,+ vr,I,iob would
both eliminate the bad and make well
enough better, that we have the para
sites of discomfort. The human para
site; like it's lesser kind, uses condi-
tions to safe its own appetite. 1t is
self-seeking, solely. It cares for right
only as it promotes its own ambitions.
1t discards it readily when ambition is
attained. In politics they are the Jack
Cades, profuse in promise, indiscrimi-
nate in denunciation; reckless in as
sertion. Periods of industrial depres-
sion, when there is distress, breed these
parasites. We have had them in plen-
ty. When the reactions of specula-
ton came in '78 and money sought hid
ing places, we had the parasites clam
oring for the starting of the printing
presses to printing more ''mone. In
SO we had them vociferating for mint
activity stamping lie on silver. And
their cry then, as it now is, was the
money power.
Today we have the same creatures
pursuing the same ends by like meth
DDS. Now their cry is corporations.

Reeds Election.
his achievements,

Reeds election is a triumph for the
good government sentiment. 1t means
that the people of Rusk county have at
last awakened to the important fact
that to have good government the pub
lie must demand it, must make it.
Mr.. Reed is a. plain, unpretentious
citizen of Rusk county. In the con
test he has played the part of gen
tleman. He has not coaxed support.
He has had the cking of no ring, no
machine. He has made his own cam
paign, a successful one.
The News was the only newspaper in
Rusk county supporting Mr.. Reed. In
the campaign just past this paper at
tempted to clear up the wrong impress
sions made by other papers.
The effort to scold Mr.. Reed out of
the contest by the claim that the peo-
pie had rendered a decision in the pri-
maries, was inexcusably lame. 1t had
no reason in it, in that not onezthird Of
the people had declared for any one
candidate. The returns Indicate that
the people agreed with the News.
Mr.. Reed will make a good sheriff.
He will bring to the Office the same
sterling qualities that have character
lied in other paths of life.
Through this contest the majority
have spoken and what the majority
says goes.
We congratulate Sheriff Reed.
Let every man back the commercial
club. Many have ideas and informa-
ton. Talk them, agitate them, That
is the idea.
Let it be Ladysmith first with a big
overflow for Rusk county-let enthusi-
asm be fluent and potent and plenty.
We have the best country on earth and
let the public know it.
Spooner's reply to La Toilette will
never appeal to the people. La Fol
lette's point is, first that Spooner has
never advocated reform measures even
though at the last moment he may have
voted on the winning side, and, second,
that he has in many instances voted
against reform measures of vast i'm
portance. But Spooner's issue is with
the people, not La Toilette.
Democratic Governor Johnson has
gone in again in Minnesota, and not SO
bad after all. He has made a good
governor. It is good government and
not the label on the political collar the
people look for nowadays.
Soon it will be denatured alcohal that
will engage the attention of the peo-
pie, and the Standard Oil Company.

Looking Into Divorce ARidavits.
Judge Brooks memorandum In the
W. j. Dobbin divorce suit takes admi-
rably sensible ground upon the ques-
tion of undisputed divorces whore the
plaintiff makes affidavit that the de-
PENDANTS whereabouts are unknown.
In this case the judge happened to have
knowledge that the defendant was a
well-known nurse in a public hospital
in Brooklyn, and, of course, could have
been found. In but three of twenty
two cases upon the present term calen-
dar was the plaintiff willing to admit
any knowledge of the whereabouts OF
the defendant. In nineteen cases 1T
was apparently the wish Of the PLAIN
tiff that the court should believe that
the defendant had vanished from the
face of the earth and that neither by
inquiry among relatives nor otherwise
could his or her location be ascertained.
The inference, says Judge Brooks, IS
unavoidable that in many OF these
cases a fraud was attempted to be per-
petrated upon the defendant and upon
the court. ~"~'t sri .' ''~se+. 2ea 's7@s1 T

ZINES, JOURNEY NO. New York,
Feb 24.-Down on Fifteenth street and
Seventh avenue, in large, massive
looking building which suggests a mill
tary storehouse or an armory, are pub
lished three magazines AS a result Of
the presence of the offices of these mag
azines in this building, there are daily
carried in by the postman and otherwise
hundreds Of stories in manuscript form.
The three magazines are Ainslie's, The
Popular and Smiths. Ainslie's alone re-
.ceives not less than 800 stories a week,
something like 1000 month, out of
which only an average Of fifteen at the
most can be used. The rest have to GO
back to their aspiring authors. Aims
lies editorial office is, therefore, a sort
of short story Separator" as the farm
ers OF the northwest would call it, and
its business is to separate the wheat
from the chaff and straw offered from
various sources.
Archibald L. Sessions, the editor of
Ainslie's. shows some effects Of the
strenuous life of busy separator boss
but he still maintains an even and quie,
temper and greets visitor pleasantly as
tho he expected to find the author OF
some great story which would increase
the sales Of his magazine and make him
self famous as a literary discoverer. Mr.
Sessions says that the aim of his maya
zine is to entertain. Unpleasant fiction Is
not likely to meet with favor as a pos.
sible part of any number of Ainslie's
magazine. Mr.. Sessions does not regard
the narrowing up of ones feelings as q
form Of entertainment, and unless such q
story has something very striking tt
commend it otherwise, it gets small
chance of being printed in Ainslie's.
The home of Ainslies is brand new
and modern. The building Is occupied by

chief owners of the company which pub
fishes Ainslie's. They occupy the entire
building, and utility and convenience have
