MAKES FOR BETTER
CITIZENSHIP.

The law passed by the last legisla-
ture reducing the railway passenger
rate to two cents per mile went into
effect on Aug. Is. The railway com
panies have called in ali half-fare
permits, and there are to be no rates
less than two cents per mile. The
new passenger rate law and the law
which went into effect June 27, 1905,
prohibiting the giving of free passes,
will in time result in great good to
the people, and make for better citi-
zenship. Special privileges to none,
is good democratic doctrine.
The pass evil became an evil of
such magnitude that it was neces-
sary to wipe it out altogether; and
half-fare rates are now withdrawn by
the railways themselves.
The decision of the interstate COM
MERGE commission that all railway
transportation should be paid for in
money, and could not lawfully be
given to newspaper publishers in eX-
change for advertising, was held by
many publishers to be an arbitrary
and unwarranted decision; but we be-
lieve that the action taken by the
commission has been beneficial to
newspapers and to the public. The
publishers of this paper welcomed the
change. Business should be conduct
ed on business principles, and there
is no good reason why an exception
should be made in the case of rail
roads.
Public sentiment demands, and
rightly, that determinations of every
character shall cease, and that rail
way companies shall treat all patrons
fairly and alike. The general public
is TO blame for the fact that such de-
mands have not been made at an
earlier day.

vancing their subscription price; but
the publishers of the Iowa County
Democrat, as heretofore stated, before
considering the question of advance
in subscription price have determined
to apply more strictly the cash in ad-
vance rule. And we believe that every
subscriber who wants to be fair in the
matter will acknowledge the business
OF our decision, and act accordingly.

INCREASED COST.

The following from a recent issue
of the Lowell (Mass.) Telegram, cor
rectly describes the newspaper situa-
ton in the east as well as in the west:
Like everything else, the cost Of
making q newspaper has increased. A
dozen or so years ago the getting out
Of a paper was comparatively mex
pensive. Help was cheap, paper stock
was low, and less reading matter was
required. Today printers get 60 per
cent more in wages than they got
twelve years ago and another increase
is to go into effect Sept. l. The price
of paper stock has risen fully third
and is still rising.
1.-THE Introduction of the linotype
into newspaper Offices was felt to be
the downfall of cOmpositOrs, but time
has shown that there are more men
and women at work today on newspa-
pers than ever before. The reason is
that newspapers give more for the
money than formerly; give more read
ing and larger and better paper in
every way than was the case in former
years.
There is nothing on the market
that people get so much of for their
money as they do in newspapers at
the present time. 1t is rich in news,
full of entertainment, indeed, a neces-
sity for the counting room, the store
and the home"
The journal from which we have
quoted says that with the increase in
the cost of preparing and getting out
papers will certainly come increased
rates of advertising for the merchants.
Many publishers are meeting the
conditions which confront them by ad-

PRIZES FOR CHILDREN.
Long Premium List Offered at
State Fair in Educational
Department.

School children of the entire state

waukee, Sept 9-15. 1t is known as

hibits will be made in the beautiful
new Educational Building now being

hibits, 1873 in all, open to all classes,
such as the state graded schools and
the rural schools. The entries called
for are for all departments of school
work, beginning with such as "Best

A GOOD LAW.

A law passed by our last state leg
islature authorizes cities and villages
to provide for the removal of ashes,
garbage and other kinds Of rubbish at
the cost of the city or village, or OF
the lots from which such materials
are removed. The law should be put
in force in every city and village in
Wisconsin. If every householder
would see to it that nothing is al
lowed on his or her premises that may
become public nuisance, there would
be no need Of the enactment of such a
law as the one to which reference is
here made; but unfortunately, all
housenolders do not do their duty in
this regard, and the result is an IN
tidy, and often an unhealthy, town.

NEARLY 100 CHEESES.
Large Exhibit at State University
Dairy School Scored in August.

There were 81 cheeses entered in the
July exhibit at the dairy school of
the the University of Wisconsin, the
highest score being given to P. Fl.
Kasper, Welcome, who received 97.00
per cent in the Cheddar class; John
HOeppner, Marion, received second
with a score or 96.0S and N. J. Vag-
ner, Osseo, third with 95.66. The ex-
hibit consisted of nine Bricks, one
Swiss, Twenty three Flats, forty-six
Daisies, two Prints, four Young
Americans, and two Long Horns.
The Brick cheese scored very high,
William Sieger, Chaseville, receiv-
ing first with a score of 1888; Emil S.
Boil, Mayyville, second with 95.16
and Gottlich Muehlsisen, Alma, third
with 94.33. The average for all Ched-
dar Cheeses scored was 9532 and for
all Brick cheeses 1896. The princi-
pal defective flavors found were de-
scribed as unolean, bitter, fermented,
yeasty, coarse, acidy, whey and
Swiss flavor in some of the Brick
cheeses. The term unclean is often
used which the flavor is very hard to
describe. Bitter, fermented yeasty
favors are caused by germs getting
into the milk. An insufficient cook
drawing the whey is the cause of
coarse and acidy flavOrs, as well as
of a nearly or acidy texture. The
unclean, fermented whey favors are
undoubtedly due to the use of unciean
pals or cans careless handling of the
milk. Too firm a cook always gives
Swiss flavor to Brick cheese.
The faults in texture were mealy,
acidy. and open and weak. An open
and loose texture may be caused by
insuficiently curing or mellowing the
curd before milling, sailing and pres
sing. A weak texture is always ac-
companied by high moisture content
and may be the result of allowing the
curd to mat while in the whey. Some
of the cheeses were criticized as being
tough open and gassy. The tough.
ness was the direct result of too firm
a cook, while the action OF gas pro.
ducing germs left some of the cheese
with a very open texture. When TIE
milk is delivered to the cheesemakel
very cold, he cannot detect gas ant

EXtOrted Hush Money.

Monroe Journal: District Attorney
c. A. Kadling Of Dodge county is
Investigating charges brought by
farmers residing near Iron Ridge
against a cheese factory owner who,
it is alleged, has collected money
from patrons Of his factory, threaten
ing that if they did not pay him, he
would furnish the state with evidence
that they had been adulterating their
milk and telling them that the punish
ment they would receive, were the facts
to become known, would be a term
in state prison. So successful has
been his plan that the cheese factory
owner is said to have feeced the farm
ers out of nearly IS 900 in the last two
months securing from each one of his
patrons as hush money sums ranging
from $3.50 to $500.
