Are the
Complaints
Heard

Complaints are growing daily
louder because of the poor service
given by the local postoffice. None
is directed at the postmaster, who
is powerless in face of the lack of
funds for clerk hire, but the gov
eminent is coming in for much
blame on account of the attitude it
has adopted.
Closing the money order window,
which was absolutely necessary on
account of insufficient funds to carry
on the service, the department re-
quiring the attention of one clerk
all the time, is not alone the cause
of the local dissatisfaction, as eff
cheney of mail delivery to the boxes
has been greatly impaired by the cut
in working force.
Mail which with the regular force
of clerks would be delivered to the
boxes early now comes in late, al
though the postmaster and his assist
ane work with might and main to
give good service.
The question which is being gen
orally asked is when the Office will
be ready to resume full service. The
public does not expect more from the
postmaster than is being done now,
but from the government sufficient
appropriation is desired to give this
populous district the service that II
deserves.

FEW IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING.
Gustav II. Schwab Says Three Leave
to One Who Comes In.

NEW YORK. March 23.-That
this will be an off year in immigra-
ton is practically certainty as the
ratio of the outgoing to the incoming
remains steadily at about three to
one. For every so immigrants ar
irving in the United States. 147 of
the foreign labor element leave.
Immigration statistics show that In
years, In which there is presidential
election immigration decreases until
after the election and then begins
slowly to increase. The figures for
this year show heavy falling OF in
immigration, with corresponding
increase In the number of the foreign
labor element leaving.
THAT immigration is practically at
a standstill is shown by figures care
fully compiled for the use of the
steamship companies, said Gustav
Fl. Schwab of the North German
Lloyd During the present year
only 44,712 immigrants have been
landed, while during the same period
in 1907 the figures show that 1897
052 had landed in the United States
During two months and Is days
of this year 1871 .740 foreigners left
the United States. During the same
period In 1907 the number of out
going was only 43.642. or SS,O9s
fewer than have gone this year

Mau and Scott; Messrs. Louis Zadow,

Hon. +. ID. Oldfield, left Ely early
in the morning. arriving at their des-
tination shortly after II O'Clock.
For time the fish did not bite
WELL but as the afternoon wore on
the finny beauties commenced to be
landed at great rate.
AS result of the remarkably good
catch, considering the muddy c,ndi-
ton of the waters of the creek, will
undoubtedly be that several parties
will take advantage of the coming
Sunday to visit the same and other
localities in search of sport and u
quiet days outing.

JAP POETRY ON JENKINS

Mr.. EDITOR
l attended the speech of Mr.. Jen-
kins the other night and learned from
his own lips that he is the greatest
man in this great republic next to the
president. Our great men of the past
have been modest men and rejecting
upon that fact | wondered why Mr..
Jenkins did not let his record speak
for itself. The reason is plain-his
record does not tell the story as he
wishes it told.
The speech called to my mind the
letter from the Japanese Schoolboy to
the editor of Golfers published in the
issue of July II, 1908, and entitled
"Hon. Modesty: Is it Disease?" The
letter opens with the following poem:
In Tunk by the Tower of Tom
In the Land of the Living Joke
Lived a race of Sadds who We're modest lads
And blushed when their names was
spoke.
They shrieked at the thought of Fame
And shaked like an infant pine,
While they turned all white when they seen the
sight
Of an Advertising Sign.
So they lived in the fear of Boast
In the Age that Has Went Behind;
But if any Of They still remain today
They is certainly Hard to find.
The writer then proceeds with leg
end of a japanese Emperor who died
of Enlarged Ego and earned the fol-
lowing inscription upon his tomb:
"Motomatsu have got his bones here
He were Good Advertiser;
But he Worked it too Hard
The letter closes as follows:
Here lives Togo.
He is great man.
If you don't believe it,
Step in and he will
Tell you so.
J. W. CAROW.

Up to the present time the News
Budget has championed the cause of
neither of the two republican candidates
for congressman. furthermore, had
Mr.. Jenkins stood up for what some of
his Ladysmith friends claimed for him,
it is doubtful if we would now take either
side of the controversy. They said he
had been misrepresentation and lied about.
But since his speeches at Ladysmith
and Bruce Friday and Saturday nights,
the News-Budget, together with many
of the self-respecting republican voters
of the county, who were indisposed to
condemn Mr.. Jenkins until he had been
given hearing, will do all in their
power to turn him down at the primary
election in September.
In the face of the great popular de-
mand for a revision of the tariff, Mr..
Jenkins admitted that his opinion was
that it had better be left alone. The

people who favor the great reform
movements, some of which the supreme
court has said can only be brought about
by congress, were told that congress is
powerless to remedy existing evils.
Speaker Cannon. who has opposed all
the progressive legislation urged by
President Roosevelt, was eulogized by
our congressman. Those of his consti-
tuents who have dared to openly criti-
else Mr.. Jenkins public acts were
branded as fanatics, hypocrites and
office seekers, whom he did not care to
meet. The preachers especially were
denounced in a manner that should and
will rouse the righteous indignation of
every honest self respecting citizen,
whether ne be Church man or not.
In view of all this, the News-Budget
would stand for Lenroot for the nomi-
nation for congress, even though he had
but one-tenth Of the magnificent ability
he possesses for the position. He is a
clean man.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1908-07-16

The writer has heard President
Cleveland, President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and Colonel Bryan make public
speeches and we noticed that each of
them used much the same language in
osher speeches published in the news
papers about the same time, giving the
impression that the speech had been, in
a measure, memorized. This is charac-
teristic of many public speakers.
Those who have listened to Mr.. Lenroot
at two or more of the places he has
spoken in the county this week have
remarked at the mans ready use of
language and the convincing and concise
manner of presenting his argument,
yet using different expressions each
evening to convey the same ideas. Mr..
Lenroot's friends prophesy for him a
higher position than the Craftsmanship
of a committee ere he has been in con-
gross many years.

STATE AID FOR ROAD BUILDING

There is no argument needed in these
days to convince anyone of the value OF
good roads to community. Every in
telligent person realizes that good roads
are of great financial value to COM
munity. They raise the value of land,
make possible ready access to market
and thereby encourage the growing OF
higher priced products on the farms !;
they make more prosperous farmers
and more business, therefore, for the
villages and cities and railroads, which
depend upon the farmers either directly
or indirectly for large share OF their
trade.
In addition to the very considerable
financial benefit which good roads bring
to community there is another and far
greater benefit which cannot be es-
timated in dollars and cents. This larg-
er benefit consists in the increased ease
of getting about, and the consequent
Improvement in social and educational
conditions.
So MANY and so obvious are the adj
vantages of good roads that very few
persons have the temerity to claim that
our present poor roads are more .desir-
able or more suited to our conditions.
Then what is the question which oc.
casions all this discussion of Good
Roads? 1t is the question of who shall
pay.
The logical answer to this question is
every person or corporation that is
benefited.
The present system of paying for
roads in this state is unjust in that it
requires the farmer alone to pay for the
roads which benefit all other business
in the state. Every city and village
merchant who has farmer trade knows
what considerable effect the condition
of the roads has on his business. Every
commission man who buys from farmers
and sh ;ps away to large markets knows
how road conditions effect his business
and the business of the railroad he ships
over
All these are benefited by good roads,
and all these should help pay for them.
There will be other statements of this
situation here. If you are interested
watch for them. State Good Roads
| Association.

BLACKBURN FOR AssEMsLyMAN

ty) is we'll known to a great majority OF
the voters of the district, having been

which time he has been an active fac
tor in the development of the district

tent work in all public matters tending
to the development of northern Wiscon-

A noticeable feature of Congressman
Jenkins visit to Ladysmith was the
absolute ignoring of his presence by
certain of our citizens who in previous
campaigns have been his very promi-
nent boosters. 1t is not probable that
there has been any breach between Mr..
Jenkins and the machine" in Rusk
county, as it was only few months
ago that Gid Newman was boasting
about how Jenkins exercised his great
influence at Washington to force the
comptroller of the currency to reveal
to Newman certain secret reports con-
corning the defunct First National
Bank.
While in the city Mr.. Jenkins was
looked after by two of his old-time
friends, whose countenances the next
day betrayed their disappointment
over the character of his speech.
