Volume xiv.

Beginning with this issue the PILOT
enters upon its forty fourth year.
Forty-four years is a long time when
measured by the span of human life,
but not so when applied to the life of a
nation. We have not guided the des-
TIMES OF this paper all of that time-if
we had our gray hairs would be more
numerous than they are now. The
PILOT was started as backwoods pin
cry paper at time when adverse con-
ditions made newspaper life anything
but Sunday school picnic. The secret
Of the Indians good health and longev-
ity of life is that in youth he must sub
NIT to all the hardening influences of
his surroundings. If he is a weakling
he dies; if of robust constitution he
reaches maturity. The PILOT from the
first enjoyed good health, although
often exposed to elements in its business
lie which would and have wrecked
many others. Its bark has weathered
many a storm, to enter a port of SUM-
shine and hope.
Our first newspaper effort, on our
own responsibility, was the publication
of the Wausau Weekly Review, which
we established in 1882. Two years later
we purchased the interests of the PILoT
and for a time published the merged
papers under the title Rilot and Review
One day it occurred to US that too many
tails on cat spoils the looks of the cat,
so we cut off the Review and have since
printed our paper under the short and
plain title the Wausau Pilot
In the twenty odd years we have
been wearing out our life on this publ
cation it is possible, and quite probable,
our policy has not pleased everyone.
In fact some of our political opponents
have often expressed such sentiment.
But it is we'll known fact that one
who passes through this vale without
making some enemies don't amount to
much, and trusting that the majority of
our readers will overlook some of our
shortcomings, we will continue to pen
the right as we see it.

Boiled Down.

The tariff hearings that are being
held by the ways and means committee
of the house of representatives are illu-
minating. With few exceptions. those
that appear before the committee urge
higher duties. One witness, engaged
in the manufacture of chemicals, we be-
lieve, appeared before tie committee
to plead for higher duties, although he
admitted, when questioned, that the
industry that he represented was pros
porous under the existing schedule.
He then was asked
Then why do,you ask for an increase in the
To increase our market
Then il is not for protection, but that your
profits may be increaseds
Well that's what Ii boils down to, replied the
witness with embarrassment
And that, it might be added, is what
high duties "boil down to" in all of the
industries. High duties permit high
prices and high prices insure reason
able profits"
The consumer, it is true, pays the
high prices and the reasonable profits"
but he has been convinced that it is es-
sential to his prosperity Milwaukee

a7ne Independent Leader. >

This is the title of the leading editor
ial in a recent number of the Milwau-
kee News,-a timely, thoughtful, and
ably written article, looking toward
our political future, not the future of
parties, but the future OF The American
people. 1t calls attention to the fact
that the independent leader, both in
newspaperdom and politics is rapidly
coming to the front, and suggests that
such great leaders as Bryan and LaFol-
lette would derive large increment of
force and throw off some disconcerting
impediment, ii they were free to carry
on their good work, without weighing
their words, or acts, lest they give voice
to some utterance that will rise up to
plague them in their candidacy for
office"
We desire to reinforce the Milwau-
kee News in this appeal, which it makes
to those who possess the requisite quail
ties for leadership, aud the indispens-
ible honesty of purpose needed to make
them force for good to the people at
large. As we have no political axe of
our own, to grind, we are with the vast
majority, who have no axes to grind.
Like that great multitude of men and
women of the country, who as innocent
of Office holding, or office seeking, as
ourselves, we feel the need of leaders,
advisers, in political matters, who have
no axes to grind. What all of us who
belong to this class need is the sort OF
newspapers and political leaders re-
ferred to in the Milwaukee News edi-
torial, newspapers and leaders, s5so-
lutely untrammelled by partisan ties.
Whatever party we may at present
have the greatest liking for,-or the
least dislike, if one feels obliged to put
it that way, we need honest, fearless,
independent newspapers and leaders,
whom, because, like ourselves, they are
without axes to grind, we can rely upon
not TO deceive us, but to advise us &C
oording to their best Judgment. The
daily newspaper should be more than
dissemination of news; it should be
power for honest politics in the coun-
try, because it has such splendid OPP
portunity so to be. This ideal of lead
ership cannot possibly be achieved by
q partisan daily.
An independent paper, maybe, and
sometimes is, independent only in
name,-the name being deception to
lure subscribers. Many such are found
in the Eastern states They are worse
than the most dyed-in-t he-wool partisan
type. A journal calling itself indepen-
dent should be honestly so,-ready to
condemn what is bad, and commend
what is good in the policy of every
political party,-but never TO condemn
or approve withoutimpartial considera-
ton and discussion of men and meas
ures,-n like the partisan journal at
Omaha, which, during therecent presi-
Dental campaign. made an onslaught
upon a plank of its own party platform
because its editor mistook il for quo
tation from q speech of one of the presi-
dental candidates those hair-trig-
gered party organs, ready to approve
az party measures, and condemn every
thing else without hearing, are worse
than no good,-they are positive and
yirulent evil in our political life.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10.-The COM

STANDARD WANTS
REPEAL TO STAND
Vigorously Opposes
Petition for Re-
hearing
SAYS II IS GOOD Law
Asserts Government Counsel
Has No Right to Ques-
ton Decision.

Chicago, Sept. 10.--Counsel for the
Standard Oil company of Indiana in
its answer filed today to the petition
OF the government attorneys for a re-
hearing of the appeal from Judge
Lands Judgment, fining the company
$29, ,240,0 900 for violation Of the anti
rebate laws, upholds the decision of
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals reversing the judgment and lift
ing the burden of the enormous fine,
as good law justified by the records in
the case.
The answer, which was prepared by
Attorney John S. Miller and placed on
record by Colonel R. w. Stewart, as
serts that the suggestion of the gov
ernment counsel that a rehearing
should be granted in order to certify
the question of an appeal to the United
States supreme court, is not a proper
one because there was no division
of opinion among the judges of the re-
viewing court.
The answer will probably be consd-
cred at the October term of court
which opens on October 6. 1t is not
usual for the court to hear arguments
on a petition for rehearing and
whether the governments attorneys
will reply to the Standards answer, or
ask for permission to make oral argu-
ments is not known.
