The young woman at the church So

the characters Of persons by examin-

To put this claim to the test the
young men went into another room
and sent cut their pencils, one at a

She had number of surprisingly
successful guesses, when one lead
pencil was brought to her that had
been neatly pointed in a pencil sharp

THE spectacle of the representa-
tives of the street railway company
out campaigning in company with
the Democratic nominee for mayor
last Friday night, ought to have the
opposite effect from that desired. 1t
is in poor taste, to say the least of it,
for men seeking favors from the city
to attempt to mix up in the election,
and very little OF it goes long way.
Such methods may do very we'll in
other cities, but not in Kenosha.
After the election is over we do not
want the street railway men to have
any claims on any of our city officials
for services rendered in the campaign,
and the best service they can render
their company is to keep out of it
from this time on.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1906-03-29

IT is the duty of every Republican
to do his fair share of the work Of the
campaign, and there is enough of it to
keep everybody busy until election
day. 1t is only by hard work that the
party can hope to be successful.
There is too big Democratic major
ity in this city to be easily overcome,
and by the time election day comes
the dissensions in the Democratic
ranks will not count for great deal.

THE case of Andrew Hamilton, who
handled the "ye1low" fund at Albany
for the New York Life, proves that a
man is seldom as black as he is
painted by his enemies. His defense
of his dead friend, Mccall, has made
him respected, in spite Of the at
tempts of some of the trustees Of the
company to put all the blame for GER
tain shady transactions on his shout
ders. If he comes out and tells all he
knows he will stand in a much better
light than the men who left Mccall to
his fate.

Comment Made Thereon bv Till

in Much Laughter.
SOUTH CAROLINA MAN SCORES
Describes Picture That Suggests the
Political Situation.
Also Refers to the Recent Packers
Case Decision and the One in
Morton's Case.

Washington, March 28.-After pre-
senting his daily communication from
a West Virginian complaining Of the
railway and coal trust of that state
Tillman in the senate, referred to a
resolution he had introduced concern
ing political contributions of national
banks and complained that it was held
up in committee, which Foraker de-
MED, alleging that it was held back by
the absence of Senator Bailey. Till
man also referred to the decision Of
Judge Humphrey in the beef packers
case, and declared that the tendency
was to punish a man Of straw, the
corporations, without paying attention
to the individuals. He declared that
we were ''too Internally anxious"
about this artificial man; he wanted
the beneficiary looked after. No doubt,
he said, the law was correctly inter-
preted, but that was the trouble-he
wanted the law reformed.
Jerome Has s'FaIlen from Grace
IL.
"He, TOO, has fallen from grace and
is out against reform. So here we go.
The dear people are told that we are
doing our best for them, but that the
dear old constitution stands in the
way Tillman quoted Spooner's re-
cent speech devoted to pointing out
the necessity for careful legislation,
and also made mention of a cartoon
Illustrating the effect of Judge Hum
phrey's decision. The Wisconsin sen
ator objected that his friend was go
ing too far, and declared that it was
the first time that he had ever known
a judicial opinion to be impeached by
a cartoon.
Some Remarks About Cartoons.
Cartoons often point out some per-
tinent facts" remarked Tillman
1.-THE last cartoon | saw of the SEN
ator from South Carolina said Spoon
er, Showed him being kicked over by
a donkey"
1.-THE last | saw" said Tillman,
Showed me riding a donkey and the
elephant tied to the donkey's tail"
There was a roar of laughter in the
galleries and extended to the senate
floor. Il saw a cartoon of MYSELF
said Spooner, when he could again be
heard, (which showed me in suit of
Secretary Tafts clothes, but it did not
illustrate any principle"

ANOTHER woman has died from the
effects of sample package of "head-
ache powder, which she is alleged to
have received in one of the free dis
tributions, which some of the patent
medicine concerns engage in from
time to time as part of their advertis-
ing campaigns. These medicines are
all advertised as harmless, and thew
probably are for most people, but
every once in while fatality occurs
that proves that the lives of a certain
percentage of those who are liable to
get hold Of them are endangered by
their use, and these free distributions
should be absolutely prohibited by
law. A free sample Of anything is
almost always a, good thing to let
alone.

ONE Of the officials of street car
company rises to remark that this is a
good time for street railway men to

holding their jobs, but they can put
their talents to better advantage than
interfering in this election.

ESTIMATING the cost at ten cents a
day for each person, it will take
$16,00O,00O to save the starving people
of northern Japan, who must have
help until next October. Another APP
peal for aid for these famine stricken
provinces has been sent to this coun-
try, and the response should be prompt
and liberal. Here is chance for the
different churches having missions IN
Japan to do missionary work of the
kind that counts and which cannot
fail to make profound impression
upon the whole Japanese people. AS
Kipling puts it:

Shall weigh your Gods and you

PAYNE TARIFF LETTER
Williams of Mississippi Brings 1t Up
in the House.

in the House.
Of Mississippi called the attention OF
the house to two letters passing be
tween Mccall of Massachusetts and
Payne of New York in relation to the
tariff, which he asked might be print
ed in the record. Commenting on
these letters Williams remarked that
the historic old state of Massa chusetts,
which has been calling for a revision
of the tariff for years, had gone to the
floor leader of the majority asking for
bread and he had given it a stone.
He said it was peculiarly appropri-
ate at this time to discuss the tariff
question because of the appropriation
asked for in the bill relative to the
congress at Rio Janeiro. ''The man
WHO made the first Pan-American Con-
gress possible, James G. Blaine, is dead
and forgotten by the Republicans, and
Mckinley is almost forgotten said
Williams, "and reciprocity is also dead.
The senate refuses to pass reciprocal
treaties, and it is only at the threat
of the German emperor to inaugurate
a tariff war that reciprocity triumphs. "
Payne. in replying to Williams, said
that the committee on ways and means
was not acting on INSTRUMENTATION. He
added that the question of hides had
been mentioned by the gentleman
from Mississippi and he pledged the
votes of the Democratic side for free
hides, but he (Payne) was convinced
now that the calm and judicial tenn
per. Of the Democrats from states
where hides are raised would still canse
them to vote for a duty, notwithstand-
ing the pledge Of the minority leader
