Here are some Of the striking things
Mr.. Taft has said:
"Anything that makes capital idle,
or which reduces or destroys it, must
reduce both wages and the opportunity
to earn wages. AT Cooper Union,
New York City.
'tThe only course of the Administra-
ton has been directed against SUCH
organized capital as was violating the
statutes OF the United States and no
other. The business men of our COM
munity as whole are honest and their
methods are sound. AT Boston, Mass.
"The so-called colonial policy of the
United States has added to our trade
already something over one hundred
millions year AT Cleveland, Ohio.
"The administration of exact Justice
by courts without fear or favor, un-
moved by the influence of the wealthy
or the threats Of the demagogue, is the
highest ideal that government of the
people can strive for, and any means
by which a sutton, however, unpopular
or poor, is deprived Of enjoying this,
are to be condemned AT Columbus,
Ohio.
81 believe that navy is the greatest
insurer Of peace that we could possibly
have-a navy commensurate with our
resources, and commensurate with our
coast line, and commensurate with the
number of dependencies we have, and
commensurate with our population, and
commensurate with our influence as a
world power. AT Cleveland, Ohio.
eff we assume control over a people
for the benefit of that people Gas in
the Philippines and with the purpose
Of developing them to self-governing
capacity and with the intention of Civ
ing them the right to become indie
pendent when they shall show them
selves fit, the charge that we are i'm
perialists is utterly without founda-
ton. At Cleveland, Ohio.

State aid for road building was first
given in Europe. Germany, whose good
roads please every traveller and rouse
the fond memories of every loyal son
Of the Fatherland, recognized a humid
red years ago that the roads are a
matter of vital public concern and that
bad roads are largely due to the fact
that the country landowners were ex-
pected to bear the whole burden. They
began then by give government aid
for the improvement of the roads.
State aid for roads was first granted
in this country by New Jersey sixteen
years ago, and now that state has
thousands of miles Of roads that rival
those Of Europe. This movement was
so popular in New Jersey that other
states rapidly took up the plan and
now over half of the states give some
form Of state aid for roads.
Wisconsin is the only one Of the
really progressive states that gives no
state aid and the only state in the
Union which has constitution forbid
ding it to give such aid. This GER
tainly should be changed. Wisconsin
leads in most progressive things and it
is hurt to our state pride that ours
is the tail-ender in the matter of roads.
But we hope to see tnis changed. An
amendment to the constitution will be
submitted this fall making it possible
for our state to join the procession Of
states giving aid for roads. # the
voters do what they should there will
be such an overwhelming vote in favor
Of the amendment that our next legis-
lature will see the necessity Of doing
all it can to put Wisconsin in the lead.
The danger is great, however, that
on the long ballots that will confront
the voters, they will forget the OBJ
scure amendments at the bottom Of the
sheet. Tie a string to ycur finger so
you won It be one of those to forget.

The bills rendered this county by the
different institutions and hospitals for
the care Of it's insane are in some cases
turned@over to the relatives Of the I'M
fortunates for payment, but there is
a chance, that the county is paying the
bills Of insane patients whose relatives
are amply able to care for them and
it might pay to investigate the ante
cedents and family connections Of
every patient who is charge on the
county.

The paper trust is flooding the coun-
try with statistics on the timber sup
ply, but the paper mill men are not
giving that congressional investigating
committee any more information about
their business than they absolutely
have to and that is not much. The
committee is supposed to have the
power to force witnesses to answer,
but it is not getting forward very fast
for all that.

The Water Commissioners in their
efforts to get at the exact truth in
regard to the water supply of the city
and the effect that the water may have
upon the public health are meeting with
the difficulties that always follow when
expert testimony is called into any con-
troversey. There are plenty of experts
to testify upon both sides and no two
men of equal standing agree in their
opinions.

The regular practicing physicians
may or may not be actuated by selfish
motives in seeking to rid the city of
the people who are alleged to be
practicing medicine without any quail
fcations and without being registered
under the state laws, but they are
certainly entitled to the support of all
right thinking persons in their crusade
against these irregular practitioners.
These quacks who prey upon the ig-
norant and superstitious are becom-
ing altogether too numerous and work
ing altogether too openly in this city
and the regular physicians will per
form a great public service in driving
them out. They have placed them
selves outside the pale Of the law by
their own acts and they are entitled
to no sympathy whatever. It is not
believed that the doctors will have any
great difficulty in persuading these
people to either leave the city or mend
their ways for most of them under
stand perfectly where they stand and
are never anxious to come into con-
fict with the authorities. They prefer
to move on to safer localities

Complaint has been made of the
condition of the water caused by the
dumping of the dredgings from the
harbor and the city has appointed an
inspector to watch the disposal of the
refuse. The same thing happens every
time there is any work done in the
harbor and it is about time that the
contractors who have charge were re
minded in way that they will not
forget that such carelessness on the
part of their employees will not be
tolerated any longer. The city has
trouble enough with polluted water
without the very men who are sup
posed to be working to better condi-
tions adding to it

It is a trife ridiculous for the city to
permit the local street railway line to
delay their share Of the work on the
streets and the paving on the ground
that the line is not in position to
stand the expenses. The men behind
the line now have plenty of money
and they should be made to spend some
of it to carry out the obligations as
sumed by the road.

All lovers of good clean sport will
be glad to note the signs of revival

The business men on the south side
of Market square are worrying for
fear the city will not, get the grading
of the square completed and the curb
set in time for them to get their side

impossible for them to get their walks
built they are going to lose business
this winter.

The annual slaughter of the hunters
in the north woods is now about due.
While the state protects the deer it
throws few safeguards around the hunt
ers, but the time is coming when the
list of the killed and injured will be-
come so appalling that either the num-
Der of hunters in any given area will
be limlCed or the range of the rifles
will be reduced by law.

With any kind of an organization in

Something will have to be done to
put some of the streets that have been
torn up all summer awaiting the pleas
ure Of the street railway company and
the contractors in a passable condition
for the winter. It is too late low to
do anything but makeshift grading
work in many places, but some filing
and grading will have to be done be-
fore the winter sets in or the city may
find itself confronted with heavy bills
for damages before spring. Take the
case of Newell street That street
was excavated for paving in June and
has been left torn up ever since and
it iy in such a condition that the fire
department would have been seriously
hampered IN fighting any blaze that
had to be reached by that street and
a positive danger to the lives and
limbs Of the thousands Of employees
Of the Hosiery works and the Jeffrey
plant that must use it in going to and
from their work. There is seldom any
complaint over reasonable delays in
city work, but keeping street Ia a
dangerous condition for five months
without making a move to complete the
work on it goes beyond reason.

DISAPPEARED FROM KENOsHA
Relatives of Louis Cleary Ask Police to
Search for Him in This City

Chief of Police O'Hare received a
letter this morning from Miss Mara
belle Cleary asking that the police Of
this city make some effort to locate
Louis Cleary her brother who has been
missing for the past two weeks. In
the letter the woman stated that the
missing man had been employed at the
Simmons Manufacturing Company s
plant until two weeks ago when he dis
appeared No word has been received
from him since. The sister seems to
think that it IS possible that her broth
er has met with foul play.

THE OLD HORSE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

He is no longer beauty. Is old Bill.
He is knockkneed, as you can see.
where he stands there obedient to your
will. But fifteen years ago those legs
were as neat and trim as those Of any
thoroughbred. They have been sagged
in your service. With pride in his
going qualities you drove him pell-
nell over hard roads and pavements.
And you let him stand by the hour at
hitching rack while you dallied.
Stamping in summer to keep off the
flies and in winter to keep his blood
in circulation. pounded over pavements,
what wonder he Is bowlegged now.
His old head drOops.
You remember when there was a
lordly arch in that neck, clothed with
thunder" But you used the over
check. causing a painful tension Of the
flexor muscles of the neck, hindering
full respiration and circulation of the
blood and causing quick fatigue. Now
he can hold his head up only for a
short time.
Note the punches of gray hair on
Bills back.
Those are saddle gals made by your
hard riding and his willingness to go
your gait. You forgot to put a blanket
under the saddle when you hurried
to ride for the doctor or to catch up
with other fellows up road.
He is sweenied also.
You did that The collar Of one set
of harness failed to fit Bills shoulders.
and the names of another set were not
adjusted as well as they ought to have
been. The seasons were dry and dusty,
and his shoulders were often sore,
though Bill never complained!
And his eyes are bad.
His normal angle Of vision, as Of all
horses, is earthward. but you reined
him up. causing eye strain. And you
drove first with and then without
binders. Dust and lack Of sunshade
helped. And when Bill got cinder
or dust In his eye he never spoke
see, the animal simply couldn't wipe
his eyes.
Blemishes?
Plenty Of them. Note the bumps and
scars on old Bills legs. There was a
time when he interfered and you did
not have him properly shod. Turned
into field in winter that was fenced
with wire, he could scarcely exercise
himself without injury. You held his
head so abnormally high with your
checkrein that he often stumbled when
moving.
Some good in him yet?
OF course. You have not quite sue
ceeded in killing the faithful old fell
low. and sometimes, when his diges-
ton has been good and there is level
stretch of road. something of the old
spirit gets into him. But it is pathetic
to see how soon he Is played out.
There he stands--old Bill
AS he is, so you have made him.
You have abused him. and he still
loves you and whinnies at your ap-
proach He will live for you and work
for you till he dies.
Take good care Of old Bill.
1t may go hard with you some day
somewhere IL you fail to DO so.

NEW RAILWAY SPIKE.
D esisned to Prevent Spike Earring
Loose From Tie.


A recent invention provides an i'm
proved railway spike so designed as
to make it impossible to jar the spike
loose. no matter whether the rails are
closely mated or not. The main body
of the spike is of the same dimensions
as an ordinary spike, except that the
head has somewhat greater eleva-
ton. The spike is formed with tang.
which projects literally and is Sc
cured to the tie to s.rve as brace
and hold the head against the base
f1ange of the rail.
A view of the spike and the method
of its application are shown in the ac-
engraving. The tang Is
indicated al a and is connected at one
end with the spike proper OBJ, while
near the other end it is formed with a
short spur Co. Beyond the spur the
tang terminates in an eye CD, while
the opposite end of the tang terminates
In head Oh. In applying the spike
the main body OBJ is first driven into
the tie. so that the head &c, will over
hang the tlange of the rail. Then the
spur CO. is driven into the tie. and

IMPROVED RAILWAY SPIKE.

nail or spike is driven through the eye
Of the tang into the wood. With the
spike thus firmly braced, 1t is next to
impossible to pry it up by any Earring
of the rail.
That this is so is made apparent by
the positions (shown by outlined spike
In the engraving) which the spike would
have to assume when pried out of the
wood by force applied to the head
(E). 1t will be clear from the out
lined spike that the body OBJ must tear
its way through the tie and not mere
ly be withdrawn in the axial direction,
as in the ordinary spike. In other
words, the spike becomes lever, with
its fulcrum at G and D. If the head
(E) were lifted the lower end Of the
body would have to tear an arcuate
path through the wood. The inventor
Of this improved railway spike is DR..

A Problem In Interest.
Here is one of those everyday prob
lens which occur in the ordinary af-
fairs of life which lawyers and those
who draw up wills are at times called
upon to tackle. 1t appears that par
ent desired to place $4,000 in a trust
fund for the benefit Of his two chill
dren, the one ten and the other sixteen
years of age, to be so divided that as
they came Of age they would receive
the same amount Of money. The mon

Most Ancient Condiment.
Mustard is the most ancient of con-
diments.. The Egyptians regarded 1t
as an aid to digestion. The Asians ate
1t freely. 1t was sold by peddlers In
Solomon's time. The NOrmans and
Anglo-SaXons in the earliest times new
er went to war without an ample sup
ply Of prepared mustard. 1t was their
food and medicine. The plant seems
to thrive in all parts Of the world and
is eaten by every civilized nation and
many heather tribes, either as a spring
salad (the young leaves are most deli
cious) or seasoning prepared from
! the ground seed.
