MADDEN'S PLATFORM.
To the Voters of the 10th Congressional
District of Wisconsin.

The Republicanism of Theodore Ro-
osevelt is my ideal of the highest type
of citizenship to which any Republican
can subscribe. The principles he has
eoutlined and the policies he has insti-
tuted most cheerfully endorse. Should
l benominated and elected as Congress-
man from this great district would
esteem it a privilege to aid our Presi-

opportunity in carrying on the contest
he has instituted in behalf of the peo-
ple On railroad rate legislation. on
providing the proper means and meth
ods to curb the growing power and in
fiuence of the great trusts and monop-
olies that oppress our citizens, on the
rigid inspection of the food products
that are consumed by the American peo-
pie, on the protection of policy holders
of insurance companies, on the revision
of the tariff as time and conditions de-
mand, on the encouragement of every
legitimate enterprise, and on the other
great national questions that effect the
health, happiness and prosperity of our
people | stand with President Theodore
Roosevelt, and free and untrammelled
from any influence, power or special
interest will, if nominated and elect
ed, as an American citizen, use my best
efforts to make the American govern

''Crandon. Its Industries and Resourc-
es" is the title of a very attractive book
just gotten out by Brady e. Son, pub
fishers of the Republican at Crandon.
1t was written for the purpose of in
ducing settlers and investors to locate
in Crandon and Forest County, and al
so contains numerous fine half-tones of
the business places, factories, lakes
and business men of Crandon. 1t is a
neat and creditable piece of work and
good advertisement for Crandon and
Forest County and ought to induce a
large number to come TO this county
The price Of the book, 25 cents, is with
in reach of all and copies should be
sent broadcast.

many divisions in the party appeared. and
some have not yet been healed.
Mr.. Herrck proved a good loser. He
accepted his defeat withclt reproaches for
its authors and announced at once that he
would continue to take an interest in poll
tics. Since then he has carried himself
with quiet dignity and reserve. Now he is
TO be honored by his party again. and in
way that will enable him 10 say some
thing OF interest as respects this campaign
1t is hardly likely that he will refer to
last years campaign
The two republicans who lost in Ohio last
year were Mr.. Herrick and George 3. Cox
At the time effort was made to bracket
them together Ii was based upon the fact
that Mr Cox supported Mr.. Herrlck and
complained warmly of the Iatter's defeat

cially. that Mr.. Herrick has. The latter IS
personally highly esteemed at home. and
lost his race last year because OF compli-
cations which might have overthrown a
stronger man politically. Mr.. Herrick Is
not considered A good politician.
But while the one man is to become a
factor for his party in this years fight, the
other is not. Rumor has 1t. indeed that
Mr., Cox may, In his way, seek revenge for
the rehuke administered to him last year
II he should do this. either by suking, or by
secret support given to the enemy, IL may
cost the republicans something OF value in
that part OF the state. The President
son-in-law represents n Cincinnati district
in Congress. and will stand for reelection.
Can he win II Mr.. Cox's friends are not

A republican defeat in Ohio this year
would cause no end of speculation. Senator
Foraker and Secretary Taft are such prom
inent figures in the presidential gossip that
their friends at home would feel decidedly
depressed IL democratic majority should

The Cars Coup D'etat.

The most obvious comments on the czar,s

most comprehensive anc the most just The
first is that 1t is indeed a coup d etat and

TO the terms of the decree by which that
body was created. But neither is there any
doubt that this dissolution has been ordered.

grounds-not as parliament is dissolved in
Epgiand. for the purpose of securing the i'm

rather as parliaments were dissolved on a
few occasions in France long ago. for the
purpose of efecting forcibly some radical
change IN the system of government For it
is to be observed that the car has gone

He has abolished the whole system under
which this douma was formed and will

ttrely separate and probably different basis.
The powers of the new body. the ratio and
method OF representative apportionment, tho
franchise system, may all be entirely aIffer-
ent. and almost certainly will be In some
measure different. Practically constitu-
tionaiism is abolished and absolutism is re-
established. with promise that after some
months the process will be reversed and
consttutsonalism will be restored on such a
OASIS as absolutism may see fit to grant.

Shame!

For civilized country, high in the world
ranks as progressive, scientific and charita-
BILE, the United States Is behaving in a
shameful manner toward George Rossett
the Syrian leper who has for several days
been trying to make his way from West Vir-
slnia to some place of refuge. Driven from
the town where he contracted the disease,
the poor fellow thought to reach the sea-
board and there obtain passage for his ma
tive home. where provision is made for such
as he. Futile hoDe He has been bounded
from pillar to post. refused food. denied
shelter and medical attention State and
city authorities have turned their backs on
him. Had it not been for a few kindly souls
the man would have starved to death. Sit
ting in the box car which he pre-empted In
his flight, the unfortunate has talked
pitifully of his hope to die in his old home.
He has money. but none will touch it when
he offers 1t in exchange for food.
This case demands immediate national at
tention. The sufferer is menace to health,
though not In the degree many people have
Historically imagined him to he, but
mere than that. he is a spectacle which
should arouse the keeneSt sympathies of
the public. He offers striking object les
son in the unpreparedness of this country
for the handling of such diseases. There is
a leper colony on North Brother Island, In
the East river. under the auspices of Great
e. New York but 1t Is not open to cases
from other states. If Rossett manages to
get within the jurisdiction he may be sent
over to this place to end his days. But his
very efforts to secure access to the island
are dangerous.
1t is sad commentary upon the sani-
tary arrangements In this country that Ros-
sett should be thus treated. In Hawaii and
in the Philippines. where leprosy is preva-
lent the government has perfected the ar
rangements for the care of the unfortu-
mates. Here on the mainland the disease is,
fortunately, very rare. but that fact should
not operate at such juncture to cause a
spectacle of heartless cruelty and senseiess
fright whenever leper makes his appear
ance. We are supposedly a sensible people
and we should act as such in the face of
case like this. 1t should call for no great
amount of ingenuity or courage for one of
the states through which Rossett has
passed or is now passing to halt him and
provide him with temporary shelter until
arrangement can be made for his decent
transportation to hospital where he can
be scientifically treated.
Is the United States less capable of caring
than were the countries of oIden times?
Has civilization made no strides In the mat
ter of treating disease? Let the Rossett
case in its final disposition. whatever It
may be. furnish answer
