A Serious Joke.

The republican party as today made
up in Wisconsin, is joke. 1t is prac-
teal joke of the most eXasperating kind
and 1t is, too, serious joke Just the
same. 1t was Mat. Quay we think, who
said that the secret of political party
success, was in a union of conflicting
elements. Look at the quarter breed
Connor and stalwart Spooner See the
half breed Free Press and the stalwart
Sentinel "Cheek by iowl.' "Mutu-
allied" The new octopus. The new
power in Wisconsin politics What
principle actuates these men? None !
What are they here for The offices
The people of this state will not stand
by and ratify this union of political ex-
ploiters, nor will they endorse any
platform that it will formulate. The
electorate looks to the democracy of
the state for complete cleaning up of
the departments at Madison and the
substitution IF good for bad manage
ment of the states affairs. Sham Re
form lying down with Political Deprav-
ity. The Free Press and The Sentinel
the lamb lying down with the lion !;
the lamb inside the lion. The Sentinel,
the admitted champion of Dingleyism
and Its progeny, the trustS-arm in
arm with the self asserted trumpet of
reform" the Free Press. Charley
P6ster in eanoots with Ike Stephenson.
oh we gods, when will the people take
practical notice of this great flim-flam
act, this great confidence game that is
being played upon them
The new power in politics. The tri-
umvirate-Spooner, PfSter and Steph-
enson. The quartette in the great POI
litical she'll game-Connor, Spooner,
PtiSter and Stephenson. The big four.
The millionaire four-ringed circus I'M
der enc tent. Four shows in one.
20 wad some power the gift to gle us.

There was much truth in Mr.. Len
roots recent deliverance, that there is
not so much partisan rancor now as in
the past. That the present contest is
between the enemies of good govern
ment and the friends of bad govern
ment and for this additional reason the
laboring man and the farmer will think
well before putting his ballot in the
box. The figures given above are but
a small part that of the total to be con-
sidered but there are enough to set the
thoughtful, intelligent voter to a care
full consideration of the propositions
upon which he will vote. There will be a
smooth talker around to see you pretty
soon who will undertake to explain
why no Improvement can be made upon
the present scandalous conditions pre-
vailing in the capitol building at Mad
iSon, and the burden of his talk will be
that it will never do to elect dem
ocratic governor and legislature even
if the luxury of perpetuating the pres
ent capitol ring is unbearably expen-
sive and burdensome. These figures
are facts, however, that confront him
and they are taken from the books in
the state house.

DO Little Thinking For Your
self.

1t will be well for the people, irres-
pective of political party utilization, to
think little before deciding to vote in
the fall election. There are reasons,
which do not come up in every election,
why the voter should keep his mind on
the state contest and inform himself as
to his own interests. Bribery and cor
ruption have been unearthed in the
capitol building at Madison. This is
no covered up secret. More than one
state officer has been smeared all over
with guilt and shame. They have been
convicted in the public mind of mall
feasance in office and the expense of
administration has increased beyond
reason.
In 1891 the expenses of the Food and
Dairy Commissioners office were 81, S57;
in 1894 they were 81, 742, this was under
Peck administration, but under a re-
publican administration, in 1908, the
expenses grew to SO, 712, and in 1904, to
$1,000
In the Bureau of Labor and Statistics
department the expense under the Peck
administration. III 1S91-234, ran about
$1,000 per year, but in 1908 they were
S27,594.
The expense in the executive Office
for clerk hire and private secretary has
increased from 50, S22.37 for the year
1892 to
1908, $6,70413 regular and $3.50 36
special, total S9,01449
1904, S6,41O.0O regular, and s1,730.10
special, total S., 1000.
In the Insurance Commissioners of
office, in 1892, expenses were S., 7S1 10,
in 1901, S12, 107 10.

~ Is He Afraid of the Cars ?

Senator LaFollette says he has moth
ing to say until the platform is present.
ed. Senator LaFollette has not hereto
fore put much faith in platform utter
ances emanating from the sanctum of
the Sentinel, and his great objection to
the stalwart faction is that it has ig
nored and repudiated platform pledges.
Dollars to doughnuts that the coming
platform will be the product of the
Pfster force. The Free Press will swal-
low any platform presented, indeed,
it has already endorsed the whole thing.
Ike Stephenson, Connor, Spooner and
Pfister will 'hand them one" in the
platform and it will be the platform.
Senator LaFollette knows this or he
ought to. Is the Senator afraid OF the
cars

COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
EAU CLAIRE NErGHBoRHooD.


Last Monday morning while thresh-
ing at Fred Marquardts, Louis Seheop
Ike, Jr., met with a serious accident. He
was on top of the grain at the gable end
of the barn, one door was open and
Louis leaned against the other one and
the hook broke letting him out back
ward he fell in the feed table striking a
bolt head on the separator, cutting an
ugly cash five or six inches long in the
top of his head. Mr.. Scheopke took the
young man to Wausau as quick as
horses could get him there and the
wound was properly dressed and he is
getting along nicely. Very fortunate
for Louis that the machine was not run
ming and that the bundle table was up,
else the result might have been serious.
MIR. and Mrs. Cyril Dubois, of Toma-
hawk, visited at Louis Morneau's last
week.
Mrs. John ellison and Mrs. Mary Sell
mer, of Port Washington, are visiting
the formers father, q. b. Ingersoll
Dave Gleason, Jr., of Sumter, Ala. is
visiting his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Dave
Gleason, Sr.
Misses Anna and Kitty Gleason went
TO Fond du Lac last Tuesday to visit
their sister, Mrs Dan kuplin and at
tend the Fond du Lac County fair
Mr.. aud Mrs. Otto Zillmer went to
Wauwatosa, Saturday, to visit Mrs.
Zillmer's parents, from there Mr.. Zill-
mer goes to Milwaukee to attend the
state fair he being one of the repreSen-
tatives with the Marathon County ex-
hibit.
A young man living near Ringle over
took our mail carrier, Frank Butt, on the
road one day last week and ordered MIR.
Butt to give him the right of way, using
very abusive language in doing so. Mr..
Butt drove on about his business then
the young man drove BY him, blockaded
the road with his team and was going
10 give Butt thrashing. he claims
now il was mistake bat it may be
serious mistake before the postal autho-
rites get through with him.

MR.. ROOSEVELT attitude on the tar
if is THAT the tariff ought to be re-
Vised but that now is not the time''
The president is illogical and i'll advised
in the position he takes. If the tariff is
such grand thing as republicans gener-
ally say it is, why NEEDLE with it now,
or at any time unless it be to make it
higher and thereby all the more OPP
pressive If it ought to be reduced if
it ought to be revised" do it now. If
it ought to be revised" reduced, this
is not because the benefciaries of Ding
leyism say so. 1t is because the great
big public has become wise as to the
enormity of system that robs the many
to enrich the few and demands its re-
dhction.
