CONTIGUOUS NEW DUTIES.

Secretary CO 'telyou took up his
duties at the Treasury Department
this week, and rather to the amused
interest of his old acquaintance,
returned to patronize the same dairy
lunch room on 18th street that furnish
ed his midday feed when he was assist
ant secretary at the White House.
Mr.. Cortelyou has always. been a good
deal more of glutton tor work than
he was for food but at the same time
it is rather an unusual sight to meet
a cabinet officer with mug of milk
in one hand and a wedge of pie in the
uther elbowlng his way among crowd
of his Clerks in dairy lunch room at
the noon hour. However, while
Postmaster General he was always a
patron Of quick lunch "joint' near
IuS anu wDSh uS ICIuI lieu
to his 18th street haunt across the
street from the Treasury Department,
it was no great surprise to the pro-
prietor.
Probably the only other member OF
the cabinet who frequents a similar
lowly eating place is Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, who when he does
not go home to luncheon, which
happens only on cabinet days, goes
out and occupies little corner table
in the frame lunch room at the back
of the main building in the Agricul-
ture Department grounds.

THE STEPHENSON BOOM.

In the issue of the Daily Leader
following the announcement of the
resignation of U. S. Senator John
G. Spooner, the prediction was made
that Isaac Stephenson of Marinette.
would be his successor. The belief
was expressed, not because of any po-
ltical love for the lumber baron, but
was based uopn the trend of the politi-
cal tide. There are many men in Wis
consin more able to fill this high poliit-
cal position than the Marinette man.
Mr.. Stephenson gives out the infor-
nation that he holds the document
from Senator LaFollette pledging the
support of the latter. If Ike Ste
phenson goes to the U. S. Senate,
there are but two reasons for his
elevation. First to repay him for his
financial assistance in bearing a large
share of the financial burden in cam
paigns of the past. Second, because
he can be handled at will by his super
iors in the game OF political. If this
play is made, it would be disgrace
to the state and LEAD many of those
who have followed in the wake of
reform to soliquize thusly: Consist
ency thou art Jewell The people
OF Wisconsin should take time by the
forelock and make demands upon their
Representatives in the legislature to
support no man who may have no re-
deenlIng quality aside from barrel
of money, it that can be termed such
Politics is selfish game Remove the

and you'll II find it rotten to the core.

MILWAUKEE, ROAD TO
BUILD TO BROOKF|ELD
To Lay Tracks to Junction..
Second Main Line Needed
on Division.

According to the Eevning Wiscon-
sin, the work OF building a second
main track on the La Crosse and
Pairie du Chen divisions of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul road, be-
tween Brookfeld Junction and Grand
Avenue Junction, IN that city, has
been decided on. The active work
will begin next week and the woI k
WILL be pushed with all possible speed.
This work has been under consider
alton at various times tor some years,
and final decisions to begin construc-
ton was announced few days ago
by President A. j. Earling. It's COM
pletion will mean much for the Mil
waukee road in handling both east
and westbound business between Mil
waukee and Brookfield. At present
the road operates the old line via the
Soldiers home, from Brookfeld, for
nearly all of it's eastbound business,
while the line via Wauwatosa is now
used only for west bound traffic,
except for two passenger trains, one
arriving in the city at 8 in the
morning and another at in the
evening
Starting at point directly west
Of the present Grand avenue viaduct
or old wagon bridge, the second
track will connect with that of the
Northern Division, which to Grand
Avenue Junction from the second track
from the Union station. The new
track from that point will be built
along the valley through Wauwatosa,
Bomewood and Elm Grove to Brook
field, total distance from the avenue
bridge for about ten miles. The sec
ond track will parallel the present La
Crosse and Prairie du Chen track to
the left in going west, passing a
point near the old mill in Wauwa
tosa and skirting the dyke in that
city. A second steel bridge in Wau-
watosa will be built over the Menom-
once river, as the one now used is a
single track structure.
The second track will be completed
by early next fall, and will then be
used for all west bound traffic, except
for extra freight business which
will go out and in via the Soldiers
home grounds to and from Brookfeld.
One of the urgent needs for the
second track between Milwaukee and
Brookfeld is that line will be the
main route to the Pacific coast when
the Pacific coast extension is put into
operation, during the coming year.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR BOYS.

A boys mother should remember
that if she treats her boy as a gen
tleman she will do mcuh toward max
ing him one.
She should not treat her boy TO per
petual frowns, scolding and fault
findings. ''Sugar attracts more flies
than vinegar. Love wins her boy to
a nobler manhood.
She should never be so busy or hard
pressed for time that she cannot listen
to him. If he lives to be man he
will all too soon leave her. She should
make the most of him while she has
him.
She should not deny her boy any
opportunity to enjoy outdoor exercise
or sports, and she should not forget tt

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

While no official announcement has
been made, it is generally understood
that this country will let go it's tenn
porary grip on Cuba about the first of
next year. Secretary Taft is going
to Cuba toward the end OF this month
and while he is there arrangement
will be made for the primary cleo
tions to see how the new election
laws will work. If everything goes
smoothly and there is no reason to
think it will not, the regular -elec-
tions will be held in the autumn and
this country will be able to bring
nome its troops and leave Cuba 'libre'
again and also "libre" to settle the
bill for intervention as soon as COLI
venient. The only thing looked for
ward to with any apprehension in con-
necticn with the election is whether it
has been possible to provide an cleo
tive office with salary attached to
every man in the island. That is the
only thing that will really insure the
natives quiet and peaceful life.

MUCH CLERICAL WORK.

Now that Congress is out of the
way, one may estimate the large
amount of actual clerical work that was
done. Whatever may be thought of
the things left undone. there was d
vast amount of matter disposed of.
There were introduced in both houses
34,8f9 bills and resolutions, about a
fourth more than in the previous con-
gress. Of these considerably less
than half or about Is, 600 were passed
and became laws. 1t may be objected
in some quarters that number of i'm
portant measures were not touched
on at all. But the mere recital of
all the bills that did become laws
would spoil lot of good white paper.

HARTMAN GAVE SURPRISE.

The way Mr.. F. II. Hartman went
to Washington last week and took
the public Into his confidence through
the medium of the Interstate Com
merce Commission was in the nature
of a surprise. All official Washington
is talking about 1t and all the country
probably IS wondering what 1T meant.
Mr.. Hartman has just been put
through cross examinations by the In
terstate Commerce Commission on the
witness stand in New YORK when he
told things about railroad wreckIng
and stock watering that made the late
Jay Gould look like an amateur. 1t
was one of the most remarkable
recitals ever heard from railroad
man and had the effect of throwing
off the stock market on an average
of So a share throughout the whole
list. Possibly this was the effect on
which Mr.. Hartman was counting.
Then he came to Washington and just
everyone thought that he would be
close mouthed and taciturn he deliver
ed himself of an interview with the
commission OH the general railroad
question that for technical perfection
and a grasp of imaginative possibilities
would be hard to equal.
Mr.. Hartman told the members
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
his view of what the railroads of
the country needed to bring them up
to date. 1t was gigantic scheme,
it included the widening of the stan
dard gauge to six feet, the production
of 100, 900 pound capacity freight cars,
all of pressed steel, the substitution
of electricity for steam on most of
the lines, the reduction of grades the
replacing of bridges to bear the enor-
mously Incl eased weight of traffic and
the substitution of heavier rails tor
the system of the whole country. 1t
was program that would have sound
ed visionary coming from less ex-
perience railroad man, and it was IN
teresting too in that it showed Mr..
Hartman in new light as practical
railroad man and not merely as a
gigantic stock manipulation.
The question was instantly asked
in dozen quarters "Why did he do it %
There have been a good many answers,
but possibly the real one is indicated
in a part of the interview itself. Mr..
Hartman said there had been too
much railroad legislation, he did not
want any more of it. He wanted to
get on better terms with the Interstate
Commerce Commission SO that under
standing each other, they could "work
together more effectively. He said
also that he wanted to take the public
into his confidence "as far as they
had any right to be- And all these
things, in the light of what Mr.. Har-
riman and his associates did to the
Alton, would Indicate a cleverly laid
plan for more manipulation. OF
course one may wrong Mr.. Hartman
by this Interpretation of his motives,
but the published talk sounds almost
too ingenious to be perfectly genuine.

illness and about an hour before the
time set for the funeral Of her husband,
Mrs. Giese closed her eyes in still
sleep that knows no awakening. She
had been in failing health for some
time, but it is probable that the end
was fastened by the death Of her
companion in life. The deceased was
born in Germany Feb. %, 1886. She
came to WATERFOWL from her native
land about forty years ago and had
been resident of the city ever since.
She is survived by six children as fol-
