NARROW VIEW.

Joseph G.. Cannon, speaker of the
house of representatives, has confess
ed that he was once free trader
Here are his words:
"But that was in the days when
was dOctranaire. l had never en-
joyed the advantage of a collegiate
education but when [ was acquiring
an education later in life by absorb
ing and devouring everything [ could
lay my hands on in the way of books
| conceived it would be a noble thing
to throw our markets open to the
world. When [ began to get practi-
cal sense, later along l changed my
mind about free trade. | am now q
pretty good protectionist, 1 am be-
lever in the theory that it is duty
we owe ourselves to dominate and con-
troll our markets and incidentally to
dominate the markets of the western
hemisphere aud as much of the rest of
the world as we can take possession of.
The first step to commercial suprema-
cy is for US to get as much as we can
and to hang on to all we get"
The thought of the freebooter is the
same as Cannon's. His first step is to
get as much as be can, and hang on
to all he can get, regardless of the
means by which he acquired it. But

CAUSE OF THE TEMPERANCE
WAVE

Many explanations are attempted
of the cause of the temperance wave
which is sweeping over the country;
but most of these explanations fail to
explain.
The gain of prohibition sentiment
Throughout the country is wonderful.
The recent great gains in the south
for the prohibition cause is by some
persons attributed to the necessity
of putting liquor beyond the reach of
the colored population.
The shallowness of such reasoning
was recently shown by Duncan G.
| Miner in a letter to the Chicago
RecordHerald.
Mr.. Miner rightly attributes the
gain of temperance sentiment to the
fact THAT for hundred years there
has been going on in our country the
education OF the people against the
drink habit and the drink traffic"
He shows that business in general
gains, instead of loses, by the
suppression of the liquor traffic, and
that many of the most influential citi-
zens of the south are not only
| teetotalers, but believers in prohibi-
tions as we'll. He believes that the
movement for the suppression Of the
| liquor traffic will not stop until it has
swept over the north, as it has swept
over the south.
In commenting upon Mr.. Miners
words the Record Herald says:
"Deep down in the heart of this
| question we find the same motives at
work that explain the demand for and
| the enactment of laws against cocaine.
And as a thousand or ten thousand
persons suffer from alcohol where one
suffers from cocaine the number and
intensity of the foes of liquor are
easily explained"
| It was the late Bishop Phillips
DFOUhS WIN SdluS LII SuDSbduCSs uSHeE
call person fool, nor fanatic for
being opposed to liquor until you
have learned the cause of his
opposition to it. When one considers
the poverty and misery caused by
alcoholic beverages he need not won
der that opposition to the traffic in
them daily increases.
The Democrat believes that the
Record-Herald has given, in the SEN
fences above quoted, the true reason
for the opposition to the sale and use
of liquor as a beverage. The Record
Herald is only one of the great news
papers Of the country that rightly
discerns the meaning of the increas-
ing demand for restriction of the
drink traffic. Scores of newspapers
in Wisconsin, including the Madison
Democrat and the Milwaukee Journal,
take the same position as the Record
Herald on this question. The press
of the country is more than abreast
with the pulpit in asserting the right
of the people to restrict and if need be
to entirely suppress the traffic in
alcoholic liquors. IS ~

became a christian when very young,
and was faithful unto death. Though
a great sufferer for many years, she
was patient and cheerful, always
thoughtful of the welfare and comfort
of others. On Feb. 26, 1885 she was
married to Daniel Kratzer, who sur
wives her. She leaves, besides her
husband, to mourn her loss, two
brothers, Henry of Beloit, Wis, and

Good Results From Postal
Reform,

American Press: If the new postal
regulations have resulted in cutting
off 100000 pieces of second class
matter, as is stated in another column
publishers of legitimate newspapers
will be inclined to rise up and call
Postmaster General Weyer blessed.
This means excluding 5000 900 pieces
not entitled to second class rates.
1t means cutting off mail order sheets
which have been the meas of Turing
the dollar from its own neighborhood
to swell the fortune of the millionaire
in the big city. 1t means that the ad-
vertisement of the merchant in his
home paper will be more effective and
that advertising space in the local pa
per will therefore be more in demand.
We should think the country editor
would say to the postmaster general
"Lay on, Macduff," etc.

fear of you. You will do what he
wants: he will not do what you want.
You will find that you have no weapon
in your armory with which you can
attack him; no argument with which
you can appeal to him. Whatever
you gain, he will gain more.
Il would like you to study that man.
[ would like you better to be that man,
because from the lower points of view
it doesn't yay to be obsessed by the
desire of wealth for wealth. sake. If
more wealth is necessary to you, for
purposes not your own, use your left
hand to acquire it, but keep your right
for your proper work in life. 1t you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger of STOPPING: in dan
ger also of losing your soul"
Kipling is right. The world is full
of splendid things for the men who
will stand upright and who will not

the freebooter is neither right nor
does he succeed. The speaker con-
graduates himself that the practical
sense which he acquired in later years
made him change his mind about free
trade; but with the purposes which he
confesses he has in view, the wonder is
not that he has changed his mind
but that one having such a mind
should be made speaker of the house
of representatives. Like all cyclists
he takes fling at those who DO not
hold and teach principles in accord
with what he styles practical sense;
but which, when rightly interpreted.
often is arrant nonsense. He closed
a recent interview with these words
which contain more sophistry than
truth.
"This is pratical world in which
we live and we must take care of our
own before we try to look after the
rest of the world.'
1t is the foolish notion that we are
not taking care of our own when we
seek for greater commercial freedom
with the people of other countries that
has caused the protection idea to find
favor with so many people. But few
of it's adherents however, state as can
didly as does Speaker Cannon the real
purposes Of the protectionists.

Kipling on Wealth.

Milwaukee Journal: Rudyard Kip.
ling, who has written twenty books, is
on record for only one speech. 1t was
a good speech and it made deep i'm
preston on the young men of McGill
university, Montreal, who heard it..
Kipling, like other men of clear Wis
ion, is concerned about the undue
place the pursuit of wealth has in
modern life. Bus mess to earn money
is only the machinery of life, not life
itself. He who lives solely to earn
money is in the man who lives only
that he may eat or the woman whose
sole purpose in life is to wear fine
clothes, We eat and We wear clothes
that we may live for better things and
If we can earn money it should be
with some uobler purpose in view.
Look about you, advised Kipling,
and sooner or later you will see some
man to whom the idea of wealth as
mere wealth does not appeal. Con
tinuing he said:
II advise you to watch this man
closely, for he will presently demon
strate to you that money dominates
everybody except the man who does
not watt money. You may meet that
man on your farm, in your village,
or in your legislature. But be sure
that, whenever or wherever you meet
him, as soon as it comes to direct
issue between you, his little finger will
be thicker than your loins. You viii
go in fear of him; he will not go in

Grains and Forage.

Instruction in the improved method
of production of grains and forage
crops and their economical use as
feeds, will be the special feature of
the programme of ten days farmers
course at the state university, held
Feb. Ala in the building of the agri-
cultural college. The existing high
prices of all feeding stutfs this year
make it imperative that farmers
should be acquainted with the methods
of raising larger crops from limited
areas, as we'll as with the manner OF
utilizing them to the best advantage.
Questions as to the advantage OF
using the crops on the farm or OF
selling them and buying other feeds
will be discussed, together with the
varieties of feeds and the combina-
tions that will give best results.
To assist the faculty of the college
prominent authorities on these
subjects have been secured for lectures
during the course. Among them are
Prof. P. G. Holden, director of the
university extension department OF
Iowa Agricultural college; Henry
Wallace, owner and editor of Wal
lace's Farmer; J. J. Ferguson of the
the Uuion Stock Yards, Chicago; and
number of well known Wisconsin
men who are particularly familiar
with local conditions in the state, in
Guiding Charles L. Hill of Rosendale.
Prof. F. II. King, formerly of the
the university faculty, and Ex-Gover.
nor w. D. Hoard.
1t is believed that the instruction
which the farmers will receive or
subjects relating to the raising Of
corn, alfalfa, clover, grasses for hay
pasture, and the suceulent feeds
will in one year more than pay the
entire expense of the farmers course
