The Petition Swindlc.

The Milwaukee Journal: 1.-The rea-
son men sign every petition presented
to them is because they wish to be
accommodating The average man
acts in such a case without thinking,
and would be greatly astonished were
he made to realize the harm he has
done by giving the use of his name to
unworthy men and unworthy objects.
For myself, [ am as careful in signing
my name to a petition as | would to a
prOmisS Dry note"
This is the statement IF one of the
foremost men of Wisconsin. 1t de-
serves the thoughtful consideration
of the conscientious men of the state.
Every day we hear of cases in which
the names Of distinguished men are
used to deceive the public. An incOm-
petent. a man whom it would be little
less than criminal to put into high
office, decides that he would like such
place to crafty his personal pleas
ure. He hires political strikers to go
among the people with petitions ask
ing him to be candidate. 1t is prov
ed that long list of names can be
gotten because of the habit men have
of signing anything put before them.
Then these signers see their names
used to swindle the public-see them
published as evidence of poplar call
for the man with the money to take
some Office which demands of its in
cumbent honor, ability and sense of
and q sense of a responsibility.

Immediate Tariff Revision.

W. L. Douglas: 1t is Congress,
and Congress only, aided by the Pres
ident, that has the power to revise the
tariff. 1t should not and cannot, as [
believe, shift its work to any commits
sion. A congress that wants the tariff
revised downwards will proceed at
once to lower duties. A Congress
that is controlled by stand-patters
and tariff benefciaries and that is yet
compelled to do something to quiet
the people will be likely to appoint a
commission to make excursions to for
eign countries, to hold hearings and
finally to make long-winded and mean
ingless reports. While this commits
sion will be slowly prosecuting its in
vestigation, tariff trusts will continue
to plumber the helpless consumers and
will raise campaign fund that will
almost insure a reelection of stand
patters and the defeat of revisionists.

basis of Judgment. An aspirant with
notorious bias for the saloon is not of
the right stamp. One may, one should,
so long as liquor selling is lawful, be
absolutely fair toward the saloonists:
but there is, there can be, no justice in
permitting saloonists to be a law
unto themselves. Soon enough they
will realize here. as they are learn
ing in ten thousand other places,
that lawlessness bat breeds the
whirlwind-that decency, moder alton,
consideration and probability count
for most in the long run. The candi-
date who fails to see THE on coming of
the wave that will either purify the
whole liquor business or wipe it out
entirely is as blind as the individual
who a few years ago beheld no wrong
in the purchase of legislatures by
means of railroad passes. Conditions
are growing better fast. Reform, mo-
rality, purer things, are In the air.
The tide cannot be stemmed. Candi-
dates need to take heed. None is so
strong in his reactionary attitude that
he will not soon be overthrow. Tax
payers are doing solid, serious think
ing and the returns from the next
election will be demonstration of
this fact subsequent elections will
show yet more definite results: and,
Oh may have full faith 10 believe that
10 Cannot be long now till those who
wink at law breaking, be it by whom

A Shortsighted Mistake.

Appleton Crescent: How short
sighted and selfish our republican
protectionist statesmen have been!
They have thrown away the trade of
half the continent by making the
tariff tax so high that Canada can
only trade with US to limited extent,
and also by refusing to moderate this
protectionism by reciprocity. To pro-
tect herself from our trust produces.
Canada, very naturally, was compel
led to raise similar tariff wall. The
result is that the people of both
countries are plundered by the high
price of products that under a tariff
for revenue they could buy much
cheaper.

note that this separator secured by

The economy effected by the use of
the separator in the dairy has been
proved so many times as hardly to
need further emphasis, but it is we'll
to put the figures in black and white
once in awhile. Experiments noted by
the dairy department of the New York
experiment station showed that in one
instance the loss in butter fat as a re-
suit Of setting milk in deep pans in
running water amounted to one pound
for every 100 pounds of milk. In the
case of a COW which gave an annual
yield of butter fat of 300 pounds the
total loss on the basis of the above fig
ures would amount to ninety pounds.
AS the result of q gradual yet al
most complete denudation Of many wa
tersheds in the Appalachian mountain
system cities and agricultural lands in
the territory referred to are now al
most completely at the mercy Of spring
rains and freshets. 1t is conservative
ly estimated that the damage done in
central eastern states last season alone
amounted to nearly 100000, while
similar food damage, if on a smaller
scale, was inflicted by the freshets Of
February and is likely to be repeated
before the season of spring rains is
over. Perhaps in no other way is the
pressing need of a preservation Of our
wooded areas being emphasized than
In this terrible havoc which is being
annually wrought by floods and fresh
