The Seeing of q Hand.

The impotence Of the people Of this
state for decision on the 2-cent fare
proposition took accurate form Friday
last when Senator Braizieau of Grand
Rapids, who is the representative of
w. D. Conner and is regarded as his
man in the senate, introduced a resolu-
ton demanding decision from the rail-
road commission on the 2-cent fare com
plant on or before February 20.
Prior TO the introduction OF the meas
ure. copies Of Common S Marshfeld news
paper rebuking the commission for de
laying its decision had been distributed
among the members, and the impress
sion prevails that Mr.. Connor is going
to make the 2-cent fare one of the fea-
lures Of the session, whether the com
mission so desires or not
II is believed that the commission
stands two to one in favor Of a 2-cent
fare Immediately, but that President
Barnes wants to make his position so
sure that there will be no question
about it's being upheld by the supreme
court if IL is tested.

Abuse Of Wealth and lis Environment

The words above tell the origin of the
famous Thaw trial, now in progress in
New York, and commanding attention
in every nook and corner of the com-
try. AS a valued exchange says: "rhe
world does well to. pay attention, be-
cause here upon a stage is being told
the old, old tragedy of love and hate
and lucre and lust, where all can see
and learn lesson. Ever so often the
people need to be shown the dangers
that linger in dissil alton and unholy
passion, the dangers of giving way to
Turing temptations and the sure punish
ment that awaits the violation of moral
law
Who is to blame for the springing Of
this monstrous disgrace upen the human
family, if not the mothers? 1t was
Thaw's mother who changed the will of
the boys father. The latter left the
spendthrift ~, 500 year for spending
money, but the mother changed il to
$780, 600 a year, with a view, no doubt,
that he might hold his own with any
son of wealth Foolish kindness. Miss
Nesbt's mothers blame rests on the
fact that she permitted, and from all
indications encouraged, her pretty
daughte. Evelyn, when a mere child, to
pose as AN artists model and to dance
on the stage patroni2ed by the immoral

few girls can run this gauntlet and
come out pure and stainless. The moth

-quets and the glitter of silks, satins
and jewels Of the present, but signally
failed to see beyond.
While an object lesson on the frailty
of human life, the trial should prove a
guiding star for future generations.

Zinc Ore Duties.


New York, Feb. g. 1907
Calvert Spensley Esq,
Mineral Point, Wis,
Dear Sir: Answering your favor OF
the 9th inst, | beg to enclose herewith
a copy of the decision of the Board OF
General Appraisers in the zinc ore
cases. regret to say that the decision
is adverse in general. We succeeded,
however completely in breaking down
the commercial understanding which
the importers tried to make out, anc
this is one of the important foundations
for the future litigation in the courts.
The Boards decision in my opinion, is
weak one and invites attack. The
Treasury Department will appeal the
cases to court and final decision will
probably not be reached for two OF
three years. In the meantime the duty
of 20oo will continue to be assessed, SC
that the zinc mine owners are assuret
of protection. Yours very truly,
JOHN FRANCIS STRAUS.

Under the above caption the Huron
Is. Dakots) Journal-World voices the
Tribune's sentiments to such a nicely
that its remarks are here quoted
Just why the newspaper business
should be picked out for special legis-
lation is an open question, bur such
seems to be the case. To start with.
Uncle Sam goes into the printing bush
ness, and not content with doing that
for which the government would have
to pay money, goes into the avenues
of private trade and offers to furnish
stamped envelopes, through the post
office department, with a return card
printed in the corner, cheaper than the
average printing establishment cA3 pur-
chase the stock This is made possible
by the large number OF envelopes which
the government is able to contract for
each year It would be just as reason
able for the government to furnish dry
goods TO the retail trade or distribute a
line of staple groceries.
Then cones the Interstate com
mer>e commission and forbids the news
paper ran from eXchan ting space for
mile2g with the railroads And let it
be said here that space in his publica-
ton Is TIE commodity which hc has to
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1907-02-14

place upon the market. So far as we
are personally concerned the idea that
space in any paper that is worth occu-
plying is worth paying for in cash, has
always been very popular, and we up
hold the idea of putting advertising on
a strictly cash basis. But we also claim
this is the personal prerogative of the
publishers themselves and that no inter-
state commission has jurisdiction. The
trading of space for mileage does not
interfere with or disturb the relations
existing between the railroad and any
Other avenue of trade. Should they so
desire the railroads can trade mileage
with any other retail dealer without
fear of Reputation, the bane being
placed upon the newspapers alone"
Following all this, brother editor Of
the Journal World, is the rank notion
of high official in the government
postoffice department that our rate of
postage ought to be raised three or
four times greater. How much easier il
would be to make both financial ends
Of the department come near meeting

of the state of Wisconsin to prohibit
actresses or other female persons from
appearing on The stage, or in any
theater, or in any circus, or travelling
show, in tights unless properly covered
by skirts, which shall extend at least

Smallpox Near Tenstrike.

Doctor Blakeslee, acting county
physician, states that there are four
cases of smallpox at logging camp
one mile east of Tenstrike.
The doctor spent last night at
Tenstrike, where he took adequate
precautions to prevent the spreading
of the smallpox. He found that
Walter May, and three children,
who recently came from Laporte
and were the only occupants of the
logging camp, were afflicted with
smallpox. They evidently contracted
the disease at Laporte. Henry
Stechman, president of the village
council of Tenstrike, made formal
application to the County authorities
at Bemidji for the services of the
county physician in caring for the
smallpox cases. AS prompt meas
ures were taken by the physician,
there will be no chance for the
disease spreading.

ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION
Former italian Cabinet Officer on
Trial.

Rome, Nov. 6.-The trial Of Signor
Nunzio Nasi, former minister of public
instruction, who is charged with the
Justification of documents and defraud-
ing the state treasury out of several
million lire, has begun before the SEN
ate, constituted as high court of
Justice. Michael Lombardo, who was
under secretary of finance, was placed
on trial with Nasi charged with i'm
plication in the frauds.
The charges against Nasi and LON
bardo have caused considerable ex-
element throughout Italy, this being
the first case of the Impeachment of
an Italian minister and also because
the two defendants, who were born in
Sicily, maintain their innocence and
claim that they are being subjected
to political persecution, the result be-
ing that serious disorders on the part
Of S1cilians are threatened if Mast and
Lombardo are convicted.
The feeling for and against the &C.
cused has been very great from the
time their prosecution was determined
upon and the authorities allowed them
to be imprisoned in their own homes
instead Of sending them to JAIL This,
however, did not prevent serious riot
ing in Sicily in the prisoners favor,
as well as at Reggie di Calabria. At
one time the agitation in Sicily was so
intense that 800 marines were landed
at Messina from the battleship Sar-
artillery was posted in the streets of
Palermo.
