The Wisconsin State Union of the
American Society OF Equity holds its
annual meeting at Grand Rapids 90 Jan

writes: Il am looking forward to a
great meeting and 'the town will prob
ably be overfowed with delegates and
visitors This will undoubtedly be the
most important as we'll as the most com
prehensive meeting in the history of the
society, in view Of the fact that at the
recent national convention of the So
ciety it was decided to do all 10 it's power
to perfect it's organizations this year
This means the outlining of whirlwind
campaign in Wisconsin to at once com
pletely organize the counties producing
potatoes, and to promote thorough or
ganization FOR all crops in all parts OF
the state. The presence of delegates
from the national and state organiza
tions of trades and labor councils will be
of particular interest in view of the re

IT MUST prove very disappointing to
those who had faith that the primary
election law would correct all the evils
of political life, to read the expense &C
counts of candidates that have been
filed. The excessive use of money in
politics was the one thing most deplored
and yet we learn that Gov. Davidson
spent S5,526.3O and his running mate,
Connor ST., 334.l2, and Lenroot 1851 Ii
ia an unsuccessful primary campaign.
In Milwaukee the two republican candi-
dates for district attorney spent over
$4,000 each-more than ST. 90 for every
vote received. One thing is certain, the
primary panace4 has utterly failed ia this
direction: 10 fact promotes the greater
expenditure of money ia the political
game and puts the poor man entirely
out of the running.

THE pure food laws, which will go into
effect on January first next, will compel
dealers in liquor not only to label their
packages honestly as to contents, but as
to the quantity. 1t is presumed that at
least third of the enormous profits will
he knocked off the business. Ii the
booze contains nicotine, fusil oil, strych-
nine or other poisons, as is now the case
with the cheaper stuff sold, the law will
compel a statement of the fact, and a
label of Caution! Poison" and just
what the poison is must be placed on the
bottle, can or jug. The point will doubt
less be made that this label should go on
all the stuff.

1T IS question:" says the N. Y. Sun,
whether this country is not today very
much like a youngster who has eaten
more jam than is at all good for him and
yet is hungry for more. Nothing is of
real value unless it can be properly util-
lied and controlled. The United States
may be said to be crippled by it's present
prosperity. We have not laborers enough
to do our work; we have not cars enough
to move our crops and our merchandise,
and there is even shortage of money
for the proper conduct of business. 1t
is true that there are many who have
less than they want and some who have
less than they need. This is inevitable
under any circumstances. But never
before in the history of this country, and
perhaps never in the history Of any
other country, have the comforts, the
conveniences and even the luxuries of
life been so widely distributed as they
are among the American people today.
AS nation we are gorged with prosper
ity, and it may be that we are near to
the danger line il not actually upon it,
Wisdom may lie in effort to hold what
we have. rather than in efforts to obtain
Immediately greater abundance" This
is we'll worth a second reading and a
thorough mental assimilation.

said he regarded the result as indicat-
Ing a trend in favor Of the Democratic
party. He thought that the public had
won a signal victory in New York and
criticises the president for interfering
in that fight. He pointed out that men
like McCarren, Mcclellan and Jerome,
who had been known rs Democrats,
worked for the defeat of Hearst. New
ertheless he thought that Hearst's prin-
ciples had triumphed. and that they
left him in Il position to continue the
fight so that New York might be count
ed among the Democratic states in
1908. In nearly all the legislatures Of

Gratis had made gains, and he thought
