equally guilty.

OqodIig guilty,
| But simultaneous with this loss ot
authority in the daily field has come
wonderful growth of power among
the more carefully edited magazines,
Disregarding the trivial material
which necessarily forms the bulk OF
the contents of the daily paper, but
using trained specialists to emphasize
the more significant happenings and
tendencies. they have met a national
need for assimilated information and
greatly stimulated reform impulses
But most of them have done this in
connection with an attempt to supply
miscellaneous literature chiefly for
entertainment. The success of Mr..
Bryan's experiment proves that there
is demand enough for straight politi-
cal instruction to maintain a number
OF national political magazines if con-
taining vouched-for informa tion with
a known personality behind it.
That is where Mr.. LaFollette sets
his opportunity. He is known to
stand for certain principles and causes:
to stand for them at any cost and
against any odds. Not all can hear
him talk or read his speeches; but if
his message is put into type in an
authorized version at regular intervals
and distributed at moderate price,
enough will buy it to make its publi-
cation a commercial success.
This drift backward toward person
al journalism is hopeful sign. for it
means check upon the perversion of
daily journalism and guaranty of
greater soberness and responsibility in
political discussion.-R Rochester, On.

WHY NOT TREAT PROPERTY
OWNERS EQUITABLY

When catch basins were put in on
Baker street last year at 9th, 10th,
11th and 18th streets feet of curoing
was extended from either side of the
iron part of the basin to the inside of
the lot line. This expense was
charged TO the sewer district and it
was added to the property tax OF said
district anG every owner of property
in the district helped pay for it.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1908-11-05
VOLUME 81, NUMBER A.

Since then, this year, parties who
have put in curbing on said street
have only paid to the sidewalk line,
while other owners have been obliged
in the past to pay for the entire curb
ing including the catch basin. Why
this discrepancy? Why should the city
authorities show such partiality.
Law suits may be commenced and the
present administration shown up
unless there is spirit of fairness
and equality shown in the conduct of
public business.

LETTER FROM
MRS. N. J. WARREN
Boulder. Colorado.

Boulder. Colorado.
Mr.. A. l.. Fontaine,
Dear sir:-I leave here Wednesday
for Chicago, after stay here of four
months and a half. There is some
grand scenery in the mountains about
here. But aside from them and their
consequent canyons and waterfalls.
l think our "Old raging Wisconse,"
can produce just as fine scenery. The
only river flowing from the mountains
in this vicinity is Boulder Creek, a
stream hardly as large as the -Four
Mile" The irrigation ditch flows
through the city and looks as much
like river. do not see how any,
thing can grow here as the rocks are
SO near the surface. Have been told
that this is Boulder" bv nature as
we'll as by name, ALI vegetation looks
very small and stunted except where
there is frequent irrigation, and that
produces fine crops, the city lawns are
kept green by sprinkling.
l have met your brother and family
but have not become much acquainted
with them. My sister has roomers
and niece Blanche eager has d posi-
tion with the Palace Candy Company.
v ith best wishes to my old time
| friends in Graud Rapids, / remain
yours truly.
