AS A REASONABLE MAN WOULD
 VIEW IT.

VIEW IT.
 It must be apparent to anyone, as Chief Justice Kent remarked yester- day, that Arizona's chances of state hood, promising as they are, would be greatly enhanced by a republican victory. The powers that be are dis posed to admission. They are anx- ious to end this territorial business as soon as possible and they have been advised by a republican national convention to end it, not pledged, mind you, but advised.
 The powers that be are the re- publicans of the senate and the house. They probably will not require a sure thing" They will not want a guaranty that the new states shall be republican, but as they are repub- licans and human, they will not lay aside other business, at the short session to create a couple more cer- tain democratic states and so in crease the democratic representation in the senate by four and in the house by two. They have not even been advised by the convention to give us statehood at the short ses- sion and it is only recently that it was imagined that such good fortune was possible.
 It is reasonable to conclude that if congress exceeds it's "advices" in our favor it must have some encourage ment to do so. It must be given at least a slight assurance that the re- publicans here have a fighting chance. Only the result of the territorial election can furnish such assurance.

HISTORY OF MILWAUKEE,
State University Publishes Ac.
count of Financial and Adj
ministratiye Growth.

A new history of the city of Milwau-
kee, giving accurate and detailed ac-
counts OF the financial and admins
trative growth of the municipality,
had just been published by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in a bulletin en-
titled ga Financial and Administra-
tive History of Milwaukee" The au-
thor, Laurence M. Larson, took the
degree of doctor of philosophy at the
university in 1902, and since that time
has done careful research work among
Milwaukee's old newspaper files, laws
and ordinances, municipal documents
of various kinds, and earlier histories
in order to gain the necessary infor-
nation for his work.
Milwaukee was settled just three
quarters OF century ago, at point
on the lake-shore unrivaled for its
harbor possibilities at that time. Mr..
Larson suggests that it is doubtful if
Chicago would ever have become a
dangerous rival of Milwaukee had it
not been for the influence Of the rail-
way. The first town election was held
May l, 1899, when Kilbourntown and
Milwaukee were united. The first
public bridge across the Milwaukee
river was built at Chestnut street in
1910. The first public school was
built on the west side in 1886. The
first volunteer hook and ladder com
pany was formed in 1897, and the first
paid fremen employed in 1854. The
first steam fire engine was bought in
1868. The town did not become a city
until the governor approved the chart
er of January, 1916, when an area of
about eight square miles was incor-
porated, with some 10000 people.
Mr.. Larson's book reviews the ear
ly financial difficulties of the city, the
penurious economy of AT and the SUBJ
sequent ruinous finance often years
later, and shows how ridiculously
huge debt of So 500, 900 on city asses
ed at but 5000 900 was finally elimi-
mated

HOUSEWIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
The Cost of Canning Fruit and Vese-
tables Greatly Increased.

N@SASS StS 6AtJ fiSt S~o~Ss
This is the time of year known to the
housekeeper as canning time" Fruits
and vegetables are put up for future
use, and a strong pull is made on the
family exchequer to supply the sugar
and the glass or tin cans in which artt-
cles are preserved. 1t may be we'll,
therefore. to remind those Interested
and If we include those who buy can
ned articles as we'll as those who them
selves do the canning this will COM
prise pretty nearly every one-that the
cost of canned fruit and vegetables is
affected enormously by the tariff taxes
on sugar, tin and glass.
In the year ending June 80. 1907.
4, 1895, 615, $40 pounds of sugar were en-
tered for the payment Of import duty.
In spite Of protection TO the sugar rails
ing industry In the United States, the
domestic production was less than %
per cent Of the total amount consumed.
The average tariff tax on sugar was
$40 per cent, yielding to the govern
ment a revenue of sec, 49, S1.
But greater yet was the tax paid by
consumers Of sugar to the refining in
terests known AS the sugar trust. Little
refined sugar was imported, less than
fifteen one-hundredths of l per cent Of
the revenue being obtained from that
source.
The trust gets Its revenue from con-
sumers by means of "differentials" In
the sugar duties, taxing refined grades
much heavier than unrefned and en-
aiding the trust to charge for refined
sugar much more than the cost Of raw
sugar plus q reasonable charge for re-
filming. When the government gets
$60,0OO,OO0 it is a safe estimate that
the trust gets about STE, 900, 900 through
the tariff. The people might save this
graft that goes to the trust by abolish
ing the differentials They could also
reduce the duties on raw sugar with
out serious injury to the sugar produc-
ing localities. The reduced price would
largely increase the consumption OF
sugar In the United States and so
might not result In any loss of revenue
to the government
GiaSS jars suitable lOE SdAuulB lIuiI
were In 1907 taxed at rates of duty
from 40 to 60 per cent. Tin plates
from which cans are made were taxed
at an average rate of 1851 per cent,
while manufactured cans bore a duty
of 45 per cent. These oppressive taxes
on the materials used by the housewife
at canning time add much to the cost
Of the canned product. They also add
to the cost of operating canning fac.
tories and in many places prevent the
esta blishment of such factories. Farm
ers frequently let their fruit and vege-
tables so to waste because there is no
factory to which they can be taken or
because, with high prices for sugar
and cans, they cannot be canned at a
profit. With canning materials un-
taxed and with the better market for
produce that would follow the starting
of numerous factories. many farm
now worth but $40 or $50 per acre
might be worth $50 or $25.

TWO GREAT DAIRYMEN
University of Wisconsin Profess
or Who Have RevolutiOniZed
Dairying,

'Dr. S. M. Babcock and DR.. e. B.
who have revolutionized the Dairy
Industry" says A. W. Hopkins,
Wisconsin '03, in an article in the last
Outlook in which he reviews the work
which these two professors of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin have done for
the dairymen of the state, and through
them, for the nation and the world at
large. The value of this work to the
butter and cheese manufacturers
everywhere is evident when it is con-
sidered that the amount of butter con-
tanned in Il cows milk is accurately
determined by DR.. Babcock's invested
test; while the amount of casein for
making cheese is determined by an in
vention of Prof. Hart.
The Babcock test is essential in
buying milk for the manufacture of
butter, but it is scarcely possible that
its economic Importance is greater
than that of the Hart test for the de-
termination of the cheese-produciug
content OF milk, >" says Mr.. Hopkins
by the recent production of his APP
paratus the cheese industry of the
country has been established upon a
new basis. The breeder, through the
Babcock test, has made butter COW,
one in which the fat is unusually high,
and he has done this by selection. 1t
seems highly probable that, with the
simple casein test, the cheese COW can
also be developed-a COW which, for
instance, instead of giving d milk
with seventy pounds of casein per
a milk containing nearer a hundred
pounds of casein for one hundred
pounds of fat. We need a strain of
COWS which will habitually produce
milk rich in casein. Here lies one of
the important fields of the casein test.
Like the Babcock tester, the Hart test
en- is means of determining the pro-
fit producing powers of the dairy COWS
of our farms. It's intelligent use will
eliminate the unproductive animals
and improve the character of those
to be-
Mr.. Hopkins describes both process
es popularity. The Babcock test he
says, is machine for revolving glass
milk-bottles at a certain speed, with
careful graduate marks on the outside
of each bottle. In addition there is a
tube to measure the milk, and an acid
measure. The we'll stirred milk and
sulphuric acid are put in the bottle,
shaken, and put in machine where
the revolving motion at high pressure
sends the fat into the neck of the bot
tie, where it can easily be measured.
The Hart test is somewhat similar, ex-
cept that acetic acid and chloroform
are used, with metronome to control
exactly the speed of the machine.

i III l. PRE- SIDENTIAL
SUCCESS SION.

Neal Brown, candidate for the Dem
OCratiC nomination for United States
senator, regards the appointment of
Taft to the Republican presidential
nomination by President Roosevelt as
OF more Importance than any other
contention of our political life. Mr..
Brown says:
''FOr many months the president has
been engaged in the work of obtain
ing this appointment, using all his
official influence for this purpose.
ut is silly cayil to say that in
bringing about Taft's nomination, he
was acting in his private capacity.
The president of the United States
has very little private capacity
When he speaks, he speaks with
voice of power, power given him by
his great Office. Taft eagerly asserts
that he is for Roosevelt's policies.
GAS one of these policies is the APP
pOintment of a successor, we may ex-
pect that Taft will, in like manner,
select his own successor. Perhaps he
has already anticipated this and Sc
lected Roosevelt, or some one equally
rs gOOd-Or equally as bad, accord
ing to the way you look at it. Thus
we have q presidential apostolic sue
cession. 1t is really equal to the di-
vine right of kings. An old dogma in
new dress. The laying on of the
presidential hands transmits the sue
cession.
1--WE have no precedent for this in
our history, but older countries fur
nish many. Some Republicans seem
to like it, although many dislike it,
their dislike being expressed with a
still small voice. We have gathered
from countries with hereditary kings
a large population. These people
and their descendants have vivid
memories of kingly divine right and
will understand all that this means.
Will they take kindly to this pOrtent
of imperial power?
THE pith Of the matter is not in
vOlved in the question of whether
Taft is good man or Roosevelt a
good man. 1t cannot be wise for US
to depart from the Evolutionary safe
guards of Republican government.
1t cannot be we'll for us to name can
dtdate for the presidency ordained by
the sitting chief magistrate of the ma
ton, and to have him suppress aspir-
ants not so ordained. A bad prece-
dent in this regard may be established
beyond reversal.
1.-The history of our great presidents
offers no parallel. The instincts and
training of the American people are
all against this perversion of the
presidential Office. No Democrat can
look upon it without serious misgiv.
ings, even though he dare not con-
denim. Ii we sanction this offeuse we
make the presidential office a thing OF
teudal tenure, not the free choice of a
a great people. The same official
influence that has driven thousands of
Republicans in the chief councils
of their party to reluctantly sanction,
from supposed political necessity, this
conduct of President Roosevelt, has
also operated to make it seem fair and
decent TO many others who believe
that the president is like hereditary
king, in that he can do no wrong.
In some aspects this question is
more important than all the other
contentious of our political life"

them how pleased he was to hear of

and that he had represented his dis
triet without regard to party, always
having the interests of the entire peo-
pie at heart. Mr.. La Toilette was late
in arriving, he being delayed until 5

hall hours, his lecture being pratieal-
ly the same he delivered few DAYS

SPECIAL PRIV IL T. G T.
CITY IL.

1t seems incredible, but is neverthe-
less a fact, that an attempt is being
made to have the Democrats Of the
Ninth congressional district of Wis
consin send to Washington a man
who can be depended upon to look
after the interests Of the paper manu-
ufacturers-not the interests of one
of the worst trusts in the country.
Luther Lindauer of Kaukauna "deep-
ly interested in two paper mills and a
pulp mill" has been brought out for
the Dem Ocratic congressional nOmina-
ton because of desire on the paper
manufacturers of the Fox river to
have representative who will be

This brazen attempt Of benefciaries
OF the old spoliation system to thwart
the will of the people may only help
to hasten their own uudOing. 1t will
aid many who call themselves Repub-
licans to see the selfshness of the
standpatters in all its nakedness.
They would use any means to gain
their ends. If Luther Lindauer
stands for special privileges enjoyed
by the monopoly which controls the
manufacture of wood pulp, he is no

Absurd to Tax Them In a Manufacture
ing Country-Duty on Cattle.


It is said that the Canadian summer
is too short for the thorough fattening
of cattle, and therefore many head OF
Canadian cattle are brought into the
United States, fed through the sum-
mer and shipped abroad. There Is,
however, a duty Of nearly 80 per cent
to be paid when they are imported.
would be brought in and much more
profitable use would be made of our
pastures, corn and hay. English con-
sumers are threatening to remove ex-
listing legal restrictions and import
these cattle and feed them on English
farms, and this may be the result.
Speaking of this situation, the New York
Journal of Commerce recently said:
Duties on raw materials are an alb
surdity in q manufacturing country,
and the rule has a wide application.
What would become Of the great man
ufacturing industries of England If she
were to put tax upon the Importation
of cotton, wool, hides and skins, fursI
and other materials? We are trying to
build up industries in which these are
used, and yet we impose duties upon
most of them, except cotton, Of which
we raise a surplus for export, and silk,
which we do not raise at all. We make
leather goods for export in spite Of the
duty on hides, but the duty on wool
prevents the manufacturing industry
from growing so as to supply our own
wants. There is no sense in duty on
hive cattle for a country that can pro-
duce them as cheaply as any other and
that makes a business Of exporting
meat 1t is equally absurd to put a
duty on wheat when we export both
the grain and the -four made from 1t.
There areS economy and gain for both
capital and labor in turning materials
into manufactured products, whether
for domestic or foreign markets, in
stead of exporting them in the raw
state or making it costly to import
them for our own USE"

NOT A SQUARE DEAL,
Tariff Gives Special Privileges to
the Favored Few.
ALL BUYERS PAY TRIBUTE.
Leading Merchant, Who Conducts
Department Stores at Detroit,
Cleveland, Buffalo and Toledo, Tells
Why He Favors Tariff Reduction.


Why He Favors Tariff Reduction.
I favor tariff reduction first because
l think the tariff is not square deal.
1t gives the protected ones special priv
ileges, enables them to get a higher
price for what they make than they
would otherwise get and higher than
they are fairly entitled to. This Is
clearly shown in the case of the steel
trust Every building that Is erected
in America pays tribute to this trust.
and millions of dollars are brought to
the Golfers of men who are already too
tariff laws. Then, too, I think it Is
every mans right to buy where he can
buy the cheapest and sell where he can
sell the dearest, and when a govern
ment interferes with that right for the
sake of protecting anybody | think the
government is everlastingly wrong.
I am doing business on the border of
Canada. IF a Canadian buys some
thing in my store and attempts to take
it home, they fine him % per cent or
more of the cost Of the article. 1t
seems to me utterly absurd that a man
should be fined for taking goods that
he buys here across a river. 1t Is SO i'll
1 go to Canada to buy anything. l am
fined Tor bringing it here. In our case
the tariff restricts trade. We lose all
the business across the Canadian line.
It seems necessary to have a tariff
for revenue, and yet I am not so sure
about that. I am willing, however,
that our stand patters shall have it and
that the tariff shall be so arranged
that the revenue under it shall be as
great as it is now, but tariff for pro-
lection is little better, In my opinion,
than highway robbery. The protection
is all for the fellow who has the stuff
to sell and nothing for the fellow who
buys 1t. The tariff law tends to the
formation Of trusts, to monopoly, to-
eXtortion and to corruption in govern
ment. / am amazed when / think Of
the men who seem to be otherwise sane
and sensible who are stand patters and
are opposed to any change at all in the
tariff laws. To me their position Is abb
surd. We can make tariff changes that,
are necessary without interfering with;
any one except those who are protect
ed. OF course some of them will be-
hurt, but the thing to be considered ali
ways is the greatest good to the great1
est number and square deal for
everybody. SO 1 favor tariff reduction.i

AccidentIy Shot.

Platteville Witness, July %: Russell
Lindsay, of North New Diggings, was
accidently shot Monday morning by
the discharge Oh a 32-calibre revolver
in his own hand. 1t seems that Russell
was awakened about $50 by hawks,
which he thought were attacking the
chickens and he got up to shoot at the
hawks as he had often done before.
The revolver was hanging above his
head and as he took hold of the gun it
slipped and the weapon was discharg-
ed, the bullet entering his body two
inches below the heart and was later
extracted by the physician from his
back. AT first it was thought death
would surely result but his condition
is very favorable and there are hopes
of complete recovery.
