COLLECTIONS AND COLLECTORS
In the preparation of this article
visits were paid to scores of antique
shops, from few of the more trust
worthy ones in the larger cities to
those of the smaller and more cunning
and less suspected ones in nearby viii
lages and along motor car highways,
the latter establishments generally
conducted by soDe Interesting old
character" who sat smoking his pipe
indifferently. offering his wares In
some basement difficult of approach,
the windows of which were conven-
tionaIly screened by a thick net of
cobwebs.
The first delusion to be got over
is the rather prevalent idea that this
fad of collecting, or the actual love of
antique objects, is something peculiar
to the people of the United States, who
are supposed to put greater store upon
the possession of such things than is
common abroad. This is a misconcep-
tion. On the contrary throughout
Great Britain. and even more so on the
continent, collecting has been a pas
sion since the eighteenth century. The

A CHANGE COMING.

The Milwaukee Journal in an edit
Orial on the 9th inst, in speaking OF
the gubernatorial campaign two years
ago, referring to the action of GER
tain man who sought to boss the Re-
publican party in the state in his own
interest. Gays:
''But because he preferred the
nomination for governor two years
ago Of man he thought better than
Davidson, and because he had the
courage to condemn Uncle Ike's fit
ness and his action in breaking faith
with the men who had elected him
to the senate"
What was the matter with David
son? He WAS good enough for state
treasurer and lieutenant governor
why not for GOV ernor? He ha mar
shaled the mortimer to the support
OF L6 Toilette which made his sue
cess possible, without which, he would
have suffered defeat. Had he become
strong enlugh in his own estimation
to throw down those who had raised
him up? 1t certainly louks that way.
Then "Uncle Ike" was "unfit" after
investing few hundred Thousand dol
lars in representative government, :"
because he broke faith with the men
who elected him to the senate. "Broke
faith. Great Jehosephat Because
he could not lose his official identity
and vote as directed by one man, for
any old thing and against his own
convictions and the good of the coun-
try. Uncle Ike may not be the smart
es. man in the world but he is much
safer representative than the man
who sought to control his conscience
and vote.

GIVEN A BIG MAJORITY

In view of the fact that Gov. Dav-
I'd son ran only 5000 behind the ma
tional ticket, would not be justified
in sending greetings to a few papers
which opposed his election and few
individuals in the Republican party
who thought to defeat him for selfish
and personal reasons?
Gov. Davidson's majority was the
largest ever given a candidate in this
state and demonstrated, that the vot-
ers have more confidence in him than
in the enemies within his own party
who suught his defeat because of his
manly independence and brave defense
of what he thought was right.

INHERITANCE TAX

When the legislature meets in Jan
uary, the first thing that should re-
ceive it's attention is the inheritance
law which should be amended. Under
the law as it now stands, the tax col
lected is distributed as follows: Ninty
five per cent to the state and only five
per cent to the county frcta which the
tax is received The distribution
should be reversed, for the counties
rather than the state. are entitled to
the bulk of the tax and that shou be
distributed so that the locality from
which the tax is paid should receive
the major portion. A couple of years
ago, an estate in this city raid an IN
heritance tax of So, 900 which, had a
part of it been returned, it would
have been only justice, for it right
fully belonged to Watertown. The
practice of the law makers to enact
laws diverting all special taxes mtU
the state treasury has grown with the
years past and it is time that locali-
ties had their just share, and the laws
should be- amended to that end.

Washington was an important factor
in the recent presidential campaign.
This institution turned out for the
Republican and Democratic parties
7,418, 700 copies of speeches delivered
in Congress. This surpasses all pre-
vious records by 5000, 900 copies.
The total weight of campaign
speeches printed since the beginning
of the Sixtieth Congress exceeds
400, 900 pounds, or about four teen car
loads. The printed sheets would COM

of words is roughly estimated at $50, :
