PAYS HIS OWN WAY.

Recently, Senator Spooner Wiscon-
sin S senior senator asstonished party
of congressman with whom he was
chatting by announcing that he has
never taken part in congressional
junket of any kind. 81 never shall
undertake such a journey at government
EXPENSE he said. "There is some
thing very objectionable to me in
members of congress going on such
expeditions. - For the same reason
that made him sidestep a congressional
junket Senator Spooner said, he had
never been shaved in the senate barber
shop, which IS maintained at Uncle
Sans expense.

DID NOT HELP THE FARMER.

An amendment to the free alcohol
law has been introduced in Congress
by Senator Hansborough which has tor
its object the creation of small
farm distilleries SO that the farmers
may get the benefit of cheap fuel,
light and power, without having to 60
to the big distilIeries where they would
sell their farm products at small
figure and buy back the denatured
alcohol at high price. This feature
of the free alcohol law is one which
has aroused considerable criticism and
it is believed if the problem of small
farm distiIleries can be satisfactorily
solved it will mean a great deal more
popular satisfaction with the measure.

DISAGREE WITH HIM.

One of the speakers at the annual
meeting of the Teachers State as
ISOLATION held during the week at Mil
waukee, advocates small families,
claiming that were the families small,
the children could be better cared for
and educated. AS far as being fed
and clothed is concerned the is prob
ably right. yet there are thousands of
large families in which the children
have enough to eat and spare, ana do
net lack for rainment. When he
speaks of education, it depends upon
what he considers an education. If he
refers to a collegiate, the members of
large family may not have the
opportunity of acquiring college
education and large majority do
not want it, and the young man who
is ambitious may secure 1t if he has
the disposition to make sacrifice to
acquire it. A large majority of the
successful men in this country came
out of large families and are self
educated, their curriculum being of
the experience obtained in the busy
affairs IF life. And then what is more
been beautiful than large family of
bright, healthy children to make their
home bright and parents happy. God
pity the poor parents who have but
one or two children to bless them in
their old age, but more especially, if
they lose them by death and are left
alone in the yellow and sere" of life
with no one upon whom they can lean
in their loneliness and weakness.

AS TO EMBELLISHMENTS.

There is no question but that en-
bezzeiments and thefts of similar
nature are increasing in this country.
The total for 1906 is steipendous the
gross sum amounting to $l4, 739. 653.
Of this total $40, IDS, 387 was stolen
by officials of banks, $1,684, $50 by
public officials other than postoffice
employees, $22, 585 by the latter, 1919
ST. by agents $248, 100, from loan
associations, 223, 687 by means of
forgeries, and the other defalcations
amounting to 81, 428, 1863, were so
varied in their nature that they must
be classed as miscellaneous.
There is a cause for such conditions
which in the judgment of the writer
may be found in the foolish display
of wealth in our cities and the meagre
pay given to men IN responsible posi-
ton who foolishly strive to ape the
possessor of wealth in the ostentatious
parade of the same Then men with
families, the members of which they
desire to dress beyond their means
and give them education equal to those
of their associates, become embittered
and hopeless in their struggle and
are to often easily tempted and invest
funds which do not belong to them
in investments that are "air' and
the result is, that IN case of failure
they are detected and their regulations
ruined and those whom they love
humilitated. There is always Danger
in handling the money belonging to
others, especially the public and a
man in a responsible position cannot
exercise too great care handling such
funds for defalcation unusually mean
not only loss of position but disgrace.

are making taxes. exceedinly high and
burdensome to the people and it is
time to inaugurate a system of rigid
economony in the expenditure Of public
funds. Then there is no necessity
for enlarging the army and increasing
our navy. A large army and navy
means trouble. The New York
Herald in speaking of the conditions
in Europe at the present time wisely
says:

high-water mark of the civilization of
the 10th century. Italians, French
men, Germans, Austrians- amlable,
well-meaning, neighborly beings, who
live, believe, love, toll, kneel before
the same altar, and yet all of them
busy in the same fearful preparation
for throat cutting. An armed camp
means war at any time.
Nations like individuals, are power
full in the degree that they command
the sympathy of their neighbors.

SHOULD REFUND SALARY

A congressman by the name OF
Gaines, representative from Tennessee
has been investigating and his labor
has resulted in digging up from the
musty and dust covered past, law
finIng congressman for being absent
while congress is IN session except,
that such absence is occasioned by i'll
ness. 1t is hoped that the law will
not be enforced at this time for 1T
certainly would impovish quite num-
Der OF the members while drawing
the salary were absent talking reform
and educating the people to be honest.
Every dollar taken rs salary which
was not earned by service rendered
was dishonest. not to characterize it
by harsher term. 1t may be expect
ed that some of the members who
have been drawing salaries while they
were "galavanting" over the country
will refund the sums received and
not earned-but the writer oplnes, that
should the people hold their breath
until such thing happens, they will
be dead long time.

THE PESSIMISM OF THE TIMES.

l. LIZ LoCl"1oW vi L1A1 !" LIZ.
"Above all, know and believe that
humanity is advancing; that there is
progress in human life and human
affairs, and that, as sure as God lives,
the future will be greater and better
than the present or the past.
The above words were spoken by
a prominent man in this state over 20
years ago-a man. who had helped to
make national history. The affirmation
was true then and is equally true at
the present time, for at no..period in
the history of the world were there
more better men and women then at
the present time. The line of demar-
cation between the really good and
really bad was never more marked
than now. When the fact is taken
into consideration that in this country
alone, over $51, 900. 900 was given
away last year in charities and all the
benevolent institutions were amply
provided for. The man who loves God
and his neigkbor has no occasion to
look at the dark side and anticipate
evil times, for the world is certainly
growing better and will continue to
grow better until evil will reach
minimum and the good will be pre-
dom inant.
