AN OBJECT LESSON

MT EVER was the necessity for real
tariff reform illustrated so clear
~ ly and strikingly as by the wood
pulp and print paper investigation
farce. The American Newspaper Pub
fishers association collected reliable
data on the wood pulp and print paper
business in its relation to the tariff.
After reviewing these data 1t came
to the conclusion that reform of the
tariff on wood by the abolition of
duties on wood pulp and print paper
was imperatively necessary. Some of
the foremost. most responsible and re-
liable eastern publishers took up the
matter So methodically did the re-
formers act that not even the most
rabid Republican could conscientiously
regard the proposed reform as DEM
ocratic campaign dodge" and no one
could trace any subtle connection be-
tween the grievances of the publishers
and the Vaccinations of yellow jour
nalism. Mr.. Hearst's unfortunate as
ISOLATION with the newspaper publish
profession, a fact which is from time
to time demonstrated, and is, indeed,
easily provable. He is a meddler who
has not done himself any good. while
he has made mischief in various COM
munities. His influence has not
counted for much in either one direc-
ton or another in Los Angeles, the
population of which is the last in the
world to take kindly to yellow journal
ism or anything 1t represents. There
is no room for it here. But in other
crowded centers. where the ignorant
and uneducated class is larger than in
Los Angeles, the yellow papers have
found a clientele: even as Mr.. Fox's
Police Gazette, which could not exist
In educational centers, has found
clientele in New York and other east
ern cities. But Hearst and yellow
journalism had nothing whatever to
do with the attempt to emancipate the
wood pulp and print paper industry.
Yet what do we learn as to the treat
ment received at the hands of a con-
gressional committee by representa-
tives of high grade scholarly American
journalism?
1.-THE attitude of the controlling in
f1uences In the committee toward the
publishers respectfully petitioning for
redress of grievances was that of
prosecutors having before them wicked
persons engaged in a conspiracy. The
majority, therefore, REBUKES the pc
titioner and denies their prayer" In
their audacious conceited REBUKE
and foolish denial of we'll founded
and well grounded request for tariff
reform the Republican stand-pat COM
mitteemen will excite derision as we'll
as just anger.
If we did not think we might there
by be casting a slur upon a highly
useful article, we would suggest that
the brains of the obstinate and short
sighted Republican high tariff commit
teemen are made of wood pulp.

WHO WILL ANSWER?

A POOR Hebrew cobbler has been
n flung into prison in Los Angeles
IA on the charge Of allowing his
daughter to sell papers on the streets.
The man must support his wife and six
children. He cannot. His earnings are
too small 1t is deplorable that his
daughter should have had to sell papers
on the street. But will someone sug-
gest a way in which the family could
have been provided for by the fathers
unaided exertions? When man has a
big family to support, and when he can
earn little or nothing with which to
support that family, what is he going
to do about it? (Taft's answer barred.

THAT WAS HOW 1T SOUNDED

A worthy English yeoman once
evinced a degree of ignorance which
was profitable to his spiritual pastor.
The reverend gentleman in concluding
a sermon on some doctrinal point
stated that such and such were his
own views on the subject and that he
had no doubt of their correctness, yet
he must admit that other opinions pre-
vailed, and certainly the commentators
did not agree with him. On the fol-
lowing day the yeoman made a visit TO
the parsonage, followed by stout fell
low bearing on his shoulders a we'll
filled sack and said kindly to the
clergyman: "Sir, yo towd us yister-
dav i wore sarmon tn common taters
didn't agree wi you, so i've browt a
sack o. the best Ormskirk sets o. my
own CROWN, and 1 know they're good

Mike de Young says he wasn't dodg-
ing a warrant for his arrest sworn
out by Heney, but was off on "a

He had to use an automobile in order
to overtake the convention train. How

take possession Of their "sections!"

No one seems to banker for the vice
presidential nomination. Yet Teddy
the Strenuous" was vice president and
it was fortunate for the nation 1t was
he and not a weaker. The vice presi-
dent is understudy for the president.
1t is the thought that the position is
only substitute" which makes 1t dis
tasteful to some men. Still 1t has it's
own great responsibilities and duties,

BASE BALL MATTERS.

The Wausau Base Ball association
held lts annual meeting last night in
the Bells hotel barber shop, which was
well attended.
The principal item of business was
the election of directors and officers,
the following being the result:
President-W. r. Bryan.
Vice-President-M II. Duncan.
Secretary-Jos F. Komers.
Treasurer-G d. Jones.
Directors-J. Z. Werle, +. j Gaetz-
man, John Sell, JAS Brown, AL. Hal
der, Ovid Belanger and Harry Jackson.
Harry Honan was elected official
scorer.
1t was decided that arrangements be
made with the street railway company
to put cards on the cars advertising the
ice rink in Warren park.
A rough estimate of the clubs finan-
ces were given. There is 1867 on hand
and an Indebtedness of about $3.50
There is outstanding about $500, which
the association is anxious TO collect
soon. A year ago the club lost about
81 200 and haC about 81, 500 of old debts
on its hands. These debts have all
been wiped out the past season by good
management, better patronage and
from money derived from the sale of
players A full itemized statement of
last seasons account will be given the
public soon.
1t was announced that the Seattle,
Wash team has Withdrawn its draft of
Chas Fox, WauSau's second baseman,
that the local team again has fill con-
troll of him. The loss of him would have
meant much to the team.
1t was also announced that the man.
ager, Chas. Ferguson, is busily engaged
in looking up players for next season.
He has two outtielders and pitcher on
the string which he expects to land.
The pitcher is said to be of the Maggie
kind-able to strike out great many
men in each game-but he is far bet
ter batter than Maggie ever was
When Chase, left fielder, departed for
his home in Missouri last fall, he in
formed the club officials that he might
decide not to play ball this coming sea-
son, and there has therefore been some
doubt about getting him back. The
officials, however, think that when
spring comes he will get the base ball
fever and get back into the game.
Ferguson is confident of getting
Pitcher Miller back At any rate he
| informs the officials that he will have a
star team of gentlemen players to begin
| the season with.
The directors contemplate moving
the east fence in towards the diamond,
so that it will be possible for players to
| make home run occasionally, to add
to the interest in the game. 1t is likely
| that the bleachers will be extended
east, to give greater seating capacity.
