JAPANESE TOBACCO.
Manufactured and Sold Exclusively by
Far-Seeing Government.

Attention is called in the July Every
bodys, by Charles Edward Russell. in an
interesting instalment of Soldiers of the
Common Good to the recently estab-
lished Japanese tobacco monopoly. He
says:
These matters and the Japanese pur-
poses become clearer If we take concrete
illustrations. Manufactured tobacco and
cigarettes, for instance. Once we enjoyed
an abundant trade with Japan in these
things, for we had taught her to want
them, and then joyously we supplied her
want at high prices. Thus in the end
Japan served copiously to swell the hard
earned treasures of the American tobacco
trust, for the japanese were Industrious
consumers and the trust could charge
what 1t pleased, having the trade by the
throat. But when the trust had estab-
lished branch houses and offices and
works and invested in them 81, 900, the
Japanese government concluded that it
might as well have the goodly profits as
let the trust have them, so it went into
the tobacco business on its own account.
II bought factories and stores and passed
a law establishing itself in a practical
monopoly of the tobacco trade, for no
makers of cigarettes, cigars, or tobacco
were allowed to sell their products until
they udu peen oileieu W, anu uecilHeu Wy
an agent of the government a necessary
provision, because in Japan cigarette
making is largely a domicilary trade.
Still there might have been left to the
American trust a chance to compete in
quality of product or in some special
lines If 1t had not been for one thing. The
government put an import duty of $50
per cent on cigarettes and tobacco There
upon the American cigarettes vanished
faster than their own smoke. and the de-
feated American tobacco trust glad
to sell to the government Qor what 1t
could get) its business and branch houses.
Now in Japanese shops you will see on
shelves formerly loaded with American
product nothing but the cigarettes and
tobacco of the Japanese government

illness was all that induced me to climb
poles and repair wire troubles"
Now all this is very modest of Miss
Brennemann, but 1t doesn't tell the story.
There are other women In the world who
possess technical knowledge to repair
a telephone or telegraph instrument,
but not a single other one who has dis
played the nerve necessary to climb tall
pole and then go calmly at work atop
of it.
The art Of mounting pole with climb
ing irons strapped to the feet is not one
of the easiest things In the world to ac-
complsh, as many man who has essay
ed 1t can testify. And harder still Is 1t to
secure ones position at the top so that
both hands will be free to work and han
die the tools !
To do this successfully requires that the
entire weight of the body rest on one foo..
while the other limb is wrapped around
the pole to secure a firm hold for tho
body, while the hands are free. 1t Is
hard enough for man who wears trous-
ers; how much harder 1t must be for q
woman in skirts,

LIMIT FORTUNES.
SAYS Wisconsin Supreme Judge, and
Imprison MiIIionaries.

Ripon CWis) Cor Chicago Tribune.
A millionaire must be prohibited by law
from holding a seat in the United States
Senate.
The size of mans fortune must be
restricted by law.
Courts must be taught that it Is not sac
rilege to imprison a millionaire who vio-
lates the law
Such were the startling declarations
made by William II. Timlin, Justice-elect
to the Wisconsin supreme court, in his
commencement address before the stu
dents of Ripon college.
Mr. Timlin's address created a marked
SENSATIONAL the more pronounced be-
cause he is soon to take his seat on the
supreme bench of the state and is in no
sense an alarmist or an agitator.
While warning against the abuses of
corporate capital, Mr. Timlin was careful
TO sound an equally plain warning against
the grave menace of socialism.
ut will never do" he declared, to in
augurate socialistic regime with the
idle dream of having majority in num-
bers but a minority in strength and skill
hold down all others to a dead level of en-
deavor and reward.
Zone of the first things that we must
give up" he said "is the notion that an
individual or corporation has the right to
get hold or own as much money or prop
erty of his country as he or 1t can ac-
quire. There should be a limitation writ
ten into the constitution of the United
States, where the forces of repeal, which
are sure to arise cannot easily reach it,
providing the maximum amount of money
and property which can be held by any
one person, natural or artificial. L grant
there is some danger in this, but is there
not some danger in the present condi-
lions?
"Then, again, a multi-mllionaire should
not be eligible to a seat in the United
States Senate. See to what pitch the
vulgar rich have brought this body, which
promised in it's inception to be the grand
est legislative body in all the history of
the world.
'All regulation of corporations should
be enforced by the Imprisonment of de-
Iinbuent officers Our courts should be
trained to learn that the imprisonment of
a millionaire is not sacrilege."

peoples rule, principally composed of
referendum leagues, and of6cered by
leaders in the. referendum movement
and by the heads of the various far
mers' orgapiz ations, with the: qpes~
tions endorsed by the American teder-
alton of labor and the labor repre-
sentation committee of the A. F. of L.
" The chief source OF strength has
been the publicity given to the atti-
tude of congressional candidates., for
the issue is such that the voters were
drawn to those who pledged for it,: A
report for each district was issued by
the national: federation5to the nomi-
nee who pledged and. in the report it
was freely charged that the opponent
Of the, proposed increase >insthe peo-,
ple's power:Was the trusts candidate.
In. only few districts, however, did
the. issue become a really>live> one, for
in all but q few Of the states the voters
have not become acquainted with the
initiative and referendum and none Of
the large organizations were cam
paigning for it, while comparatively
few of the nominees knew much about
the national program for the festora-
ton of the system whereby the people
can instruct by direct vote. In 134
districts a pledged democratic or re-
publican nominee was defeated be-
cause the issue was not presented IN
such way as to cause it to be con-
| sidered paramount.
! Two years hence the conditions will
be greatly altered for publicity for the
program will probably make it irwin
chile, judging by the unanimous senti-
ment which now exists for it where
ever the people know about the direct
vote system. In South Dakota, for
example, where the people are living
under the initiative and referendum
system in state and municipal affairs
all the nominees pledged for it. In
Wisconsin of the "a republican and
democratic nominees all but pledged
and 2 of these were defeated. In
Missouri all g of the Is democratic
nominees pledged and S of the repub-
licans. OF the II republicans who
refused only we're elected.
It is planned to inform the public as
to the meaning of the initiative and
referendum by promoting the estab'
lishment of referendum league in
each congressional district, wherever
the issue is little known; the league
to begin operations in the near future
by questioning candidates for city
councils and county boards. AS most
of this work can be conducted through
the mails by the secretary or presi'
dent and at slight expense, it is ex'
pected that there will be little diff
Guilty in establishing the leagues.

Of 1O4 members of the next house
~ are democrats and - are republi.

form declares for majority rule,
which is equivalent to declaring for
the direct-vote system for public ques-
tions. In Jefferson's day the people
instructed at will by direct vote. The
rise of the convention altered the
system. We are getting back to the
peoples rule.
1t is of special note that the above
described membership shows that the
issue is not sectional nor is there a
class conflict. All are against ma.
chine rule.
A fact not shown in the foregoing is
that in most Of the districts where the
contest was known to be close both
the leading candidates pledged for the
peoples cause. This was the case in
81 districts. In So districts the ones
who refused to pledge were defeated
