fl FreGtc Campaign.
SHERBURN M. BECKER the young who is
known far and near as the boy mayor of Milwaukee,
has entered the race for the governorship of Wis
consln and proposes to conduct his campaign from
balloon. This young man has adopted unique meth
DDS in getting votes since he entered politics,
and he has always been remarkably successful. His
forthcoming campaign, however, will be the most
spectacular event he has yet conducted, and it re-
mains to be seen whether it will contribute the
amount of success as did it's predecessors.
There is no question but what an assemblage is
vastly amused by the spectacular This traits deeply
ngrained in the human race. Altho the public is
easily bored by such events, it's aded interest can
always be aroused by something more marvellous or
absurd. This is why Coney Island attracts such
large crowds. 1t caters to morbid sensibilities
by satiatng desire for the grotesque, the rdcu-
lous and the daring in which human life is involved
The spectacular has its merits, for it must be
admitted that it makes vivid impression which is
remembered for some time. Both Socrates and
Diogenes are chiefly mmortalized because of their
spectacular performances and not that they were
really great This cannot be said Of Mr. Becker, for
he is not only cultured gentleman, but is also &C.
cused of being a millionaire. He has been doing
unusual things all his life. If he should quit, his
fellow townsmen would imagine that he mad
and seek another idol to worship.

LARGE Salaries.

WHEN Judge Gray Of Delaware recently refused
100000 salary from of the big insurance COM
panies, he did an act that will cause considerable
comment The principal why he declined
such munifcent offer because he believed that
no man should be paid higher salary than that re-
ceved by the president of the United States In
this respect his stand is we'll taken and he will find
many persons who will endorse his position. There
is another side to this question, and which is be-
ing asked with greater insstance each day. Is the
man worth it? Does he earn it by actual toll? If
wave aside the personal prestige involved in the
matter the question would be easy of solution I'm
doubleday the name of Judge Gray president OF
this insurance company would be valuable asset in
attracting business for his integrity is well known
thruout the country. This is why the company is
willing pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the of his name, regardless of the fact whether
not he knows anything about the affairs of such
concern.
It is safe to assume that this company has a
dozen men in it's employ who are competent
than Judge Gray would be. Still, as he commands
wider influence, his services considered of ten
times more value than of the man who grew up with
the business. It only recently that of these
newyappointed presidents asked the directors to
duce his salary by half, claiming that it was too
high. His action was highly commended, as good
many people imagine that business is loosely con-
Quoted and closely connected with get-rich-quck
concerns when such lavish salaries paid to its
employees. In declining to be bell-wether Judge
Gray did very sensible thing.

1t is well known that the great mass of Russian

cowed into submission by their masters. Some day
these peasants will arrive at the same conclusion
that Spartacus and his gadiators of Rome did, and

instead of being slowly starved to death by their in

The recent history of Russia reads like the dark
and foreboding events which preceded the Reign of
Terror in France. The authorities seem to be as
vindctive and revengeful as the bloodthirsty Duke
of Alva was during the time Spain at war with
the Netherlands. Their mission is to spread terror
and devastation not to grant liberty Of speech of the
press, and the right to make their laws. An
aristocracy that demands the impovershment of a
country to maintain it in idle luxury is the most
abominabe crime ever fostered upon nation. The
ethics of the future will not tolerate such mbecility

born to the purple will be considered huge joke.

FATTENING CHICKENS.
They Must Be Confined to Obtain the
Best Results.

After taking his readers through
the period of fattening chickens from
one to six weeks, the Irish Homestead
expert sums up the subject as fol-
lows: 1--WE will say, then, in the first
place that cockerels and pullets will
not fatten, no matter what quality or
quantity of food you feed them, so
long as they are running pell nell
about the farm and, therefore, the
chief essentials for fattening them
successfully are not only suitable
foods, but also suitable quarters in
which they can be confined.
you must select good table
breed, and one which can be made to
suit the requirements of your mar
ket.
You must separate the cockerels
from the pullets while fattening, and
must confine both in either yards or
coops. You must begin to fatten at
the proper age, and keep the birds
under treatment neither longer nor
shorter than the periods recon-
mended, which are six weeks for yard
fattening, two weeks for coop fatten-
ing, and three weeks for cramming.
"The fowls must be fed only twice
a day, and the foods used must be
sound, wholesome and of good fat and
flesh-forming nature. The yards,
coops and all appliances must be kept
strictly clean, and 1t is well to use
slack lime and lime wash freely when
ever possible.

try in Sussex, England, and the ad'
joining counties, has now assumed
such gigantic proportions that hun
dreds of thousands of pounds worth
of dressed poultry are dispatched from
every parish in a single year, and
there are thousands of families de-
pending for their livelihood on the in
dustry."
