IN this state outside Milwaukee an.
pealing to both the pride and the bust

readers are expressing themselves as
delighted over the situation. They
feel that the Tribune, having accom-
plished SO much in the past when han
dicapped by lack of sufficient funds
with which to prosecute its plans, must
when properly financed and supported
by the cooperation of experienced
journalists, become great commercial
influence and mighty power for good
IN Its field of activity. The sanction
and approval of the many influential
business men who for the past forty.
eight hours have been extending cour-
tesies to Messrs. Adler and Powell.
and who are congratulating the Trib.

PRESS CENSORSHIP I'M PuNKlN
HOLLOW.

S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-HerA
aid:
AT meetin' of the people in the Hol-
low t'other night
Some one mentioned that the papers
printed things that wasn't right;
Abner Page, in fact. informed us that
he hadn't any doubt
That there ought to be censor to cut
lots that's printed out.
Lets shut off these murder cases, ev-
cry one of EN-" says he,
And bar out divorce proceedin's-
thatll help, 1t seems to me-"
Then jeff Catherwell got anxious to
inform us of his views
AS to what was right and proper In
the way of printed news;
When you git to censin'," says he,
there will be Old Nick to pay;
don't say that things are perfect as
were runnin' EN- today,
But the fear of what the, papers would
be sayin' if we fell
Keeps a lot of us from takin' the
broad road that leads to hell
Henry Shaw. whose wife has left him
q. &
Rose to say If force was needed he APP
proved of usin force.
It's blamed outrage" he hollered,
the way things are bein' run;
II had my way the papers would be
shut off every one!
Abner Page is right about it: it's a
shame and a disgrace;
What's the good of lettin' people know
of every filthy case?'
Mr. Pickering Doolittle was the next
to get the floor,
And he said If he was Henry he would
probably be sore.
Lets do as they do in Russia" he
observed, sarcastic like;
Down this hydra-headed monster!
Let us all rise up and strike;
Let's call in some good old lady who
will have the right to squirt
At the evidence that's taken and de.
eide what's fit to print"
In quarter of minute Henry'd
grabbed him by the hair
And they clawed, and fit, and splutter-
ed; there was trouble then and
there!
NAoA'NA : s't,S ~. Iii air springer, W1OiQ
caught Henry by an ear,
And they clinched and got to sayin'
things that can't be printed here;
Luther Edmunds and Tom Lewis were
the next ones to rush in.
And Tom fell asleep when Luther
made connections with his chin.
Aoner Page had almost ruined one Of
Hiram Springers eyes
When the fight was stopped, Sim Wat
son, havin' took EN- by surprise
With a bucket of cold water which he
threw with all his might
On the ones who We're debatin'-and
then hurried out of sight.

have been laid up with the grip

the most successful newspaper publish
ing organization in the northwest.
The Lee Syndicate's success has
been based upon it's recognition of GER
tain logical premises. They are:
ID. Publish newspaper That
means paper all-su1ficient for its
field. 1t must be so complete as to
leave nothing that any competitor at
home or abroad can supply. 1t must
be an uplifting influence without the
dwarting effect Of intolerance 1t must
render honest service to the public
whose patronage 1t invites. 1t must
be the tool of no interests, the benef-
c1ary of no self-seeling person or in
stitution.
ca Secure mechanical perfection.
Publication is not only a business, 1t
incorporates also elements of art and
science. There is both art and science
in "ad" writing, in lad" setting, in
makeup. A complete mechanical
equipment is essential to mechanical
perfection and successful publication.
These are always provided.
(3) Circulate the newspaper. Look
ing to advertisers for its patronage.
1t must carry their advertising to the
greatest number of people within its
logical field. The perfection of its
publication makes the expansion of its
circulation easy, as matter of course.
People buy the best newspaper they
can get as naturally as water seeks
it's level.
All these advantages will be afforded
the Tribune. Some time must elapse
before all the changes can be made,
but preparations are already begun,
given to the work. Understanding the
necessary elements Of delay, the pub
lie will, we hope, be indulgent during
the essential detail of location and in
stallation of equipment.
Attracted to La Crosse by the fine
possibilities of the field afforded by
this progressive and growing city and
by the excellent record and standing
of the Tribune, the Lee Syndicate has
adopted the opportunity to make heavy
Investment here. 1t means business
1t proposes to become factor in the
activities of this community. 1t ex-
poets 10 help make history here. 1t
has made an accurate and plain state
ment Of it's plans and purposes, and
invites the future judgment of the pub
lie as to whether its proposals are
made good. Its motto is, eff 1t Is the
Lee Syndicate paper, it is the best
newspaper in the city" 1t asks moth
ing more than that 1t be accorded con-
sideration in proportion to the extent
to which it delivers the goods. 1t solic-
its the cooperation of the. people of
La Crosse in all it's efforts, assum-
ing that the reciprocal good will so
apparent from the start will be
cemented by community Of interest
and pleasant business associations, and
that it will Immediately become an in
tegral part of La Crosse.

TO PROTECT THE CROPS AND
TREES.

Chicago Record Herald high.
ly destructive pests have recently been
unusually active among the grains and
trees OF Illinois. They have caused
enormous losses already, and thew
are certain to cause still greater losses
unless a more active fight is made
against them.
Corn has been attacked by three diff.
ferent kinds of cornroot insects. Elk.
pert Investigations made under the di.
rection of the state entomologist show
that in four counties alone 100000
acres of corn was totally destroyed last
year. Losses by one of these insects
can be wholly prevented if an educa-
tlonal propaganda is carried on; those
by another can be reduced to insight
ficance; those by third are partially
preventable, but further study of the
insect is needed
In addition to the corn pests fruit
trees have been suffering from the
rapid spread on the San Jose scale,
which has appeared in f1fty-fve coun-
ties and is known to infest nearly
100000 trees, and shade trees ir,
parks and along city streets have beeu
ruined by the thousand by the cottony
maple scale. The San Jose scale can
be fought by present methods if
knowledge Of those methods is spread
by an educational campaign. The
other scale needs further study and
experimentation, but way to handle
1T can no doubt be gained in the end.
The present state entomologist, DR..
S. A. Forbes, is highly qualified and
has done much excellent work, but
he is handicapped for the great work
before him by the inadequate appropri-
alton for his office. He has now but
$3.50 year for both investigation
and publication purposes. A conven-
ton of a number of Illinois agricultural
and horticultural associations, attend
ed also by representatives of park
boards, recently passed resolutions fix
ing $4,000 a year as reasonable
amount for the necessary work of the
immediate future, and urged the legis-
lature to make such an appropriation.
The appropriation should unques.
tionably be made. There is no econo-
my to the people of the state in letting
such pests ravage unchecked.

A JEALOUS PASTOR

The Rev Mr.. Mainwaring of Lo-
gansport, Ind, is an exponent of mus.
cular Christianity. also he is possessed
OF fiery zeal Indeed his zeal was so
great that 1t brought the muscles into
such active play on recent occasion
In the pulpit as to break several bones
in the ministerial hand when that
member was brought down forcibly
upon the pulpit railing to emphasize
point in the sermon.
But with few broken bones did
the Rev. Mr.. Mainwaring drop his SER
mon? Not he. His zeal was redoubled
and he did not stop until three lost
sheep had been brought into the
fold.
