North, in front of the Polk flats, by
Robin Cooper, son Of Col. Duncan

Within the past few days Col
Cooper notified Carmack that these
editorial criticisms must cease. This
morning another editorial reference
to Col. Cooper appeared in The Ten

A WIfe'.S Protest.
EDITOR WAUsAU PILOT:

EDITOR WAUsAU PILOT:
Dear Sir:-Last week the mails were
lavishly filled with Taft's photo cards
announcing a republican rally to be
held at Hogarty on Sunday afternoon.
mot stating the place of meeting
These cards were addressed to the
heads of the different families of our
community stating that good time
was assured to all that would attend.
1t was Sunday, Oct. 18th, and a rally
in the village church at that place had
been announced to take place on the
same date and near the same hour.
When the time came to attend, most
of the leading men accompanied their
wives and families 10 the church. Some
came in and others went on 10 the
political meeting.
The sermon was one Of the best, and
was delivered by the Rev. Joseph
Brown, so well Known in Wausau.
Everyone who knows that good old
sanity minister, who has labored among
Us at intervals for the last twenty years
knows only too well how he has strived
so hard to guide all he could in the
right paths, and to hold an untiring
congregation at his will.
Imagine our surprise at the close of
the service and after all were dismissed
to find the devil had been getting in his
work good and plenty around the
corner, for some of Wausau's good citi-
zens and best orators had belittled
themselves by handing out liquor free
to all who would drink it. In this way
they sought 10 get votes for the republi-
can party and its candidates.
One by one of the men came along to
escort their families home, most OF
them intoxicated.
have heard more than one old re-
publican say since last Sundays repub-
lican rally that they wery through with
that party; that they did not counter
ance the buying of votes in such a
manner.
We all feel so indignant out here that
feel it my duty to expose the outrage.

The Rub.

At Rock Island, Congressmen Long
worth said Sin jest" that after eight
years of Taft we may hope for eight
years more of Roosevelt.
MIR. Longworth is the presidents
son-in-law. He denies that he ever
made the speech that was attributed
to him by the Republican organs. But
the organs insist that they reported
him correctly, though they plead that
he was joking.
Truth, however, often is spoken in
jest.
What Longworth said ''in jest" has
suggested itself seriously to the Ameri-
can people as they have witnessed Mr.
Roosevelt's active efforts, first to force
Taft's nomination and now to induce
the voters to elect him.
For if Roosevelt may name his sue
eessor, why should Taft not follow the
precedent?
After Taft, why not Roosevelt?
And then after Roosevelt, Sr, why
not Taft, Jr.:
And then Roosevelt, Jr?
Getting the nomination is easy
enough, with the federal officeholders
and the executive power to provide the
delegates.
If the people are willing, then we
may have Roosevelt-Taft dynasty.
But are they willing?
There's the rub.-Milwaukee News.

YESTERDAY two farmers were fined
$1,000 a piece for fishing with hooks
and lines in Little Rib, stream in which
trout have been planted. Yesterday all
the mills on the Wisconsin river, (which
are not shut DOWN were dumping saw
dust into the river, practice which has
extermihsted the fish in that grand old
stream. There is no fine for this whole
sale obstruction of fish because our re
publican legislature makes one law for
the poor and another for the rich. This
disrespect of law will probably be called
anarchistic, but it is disrespect which
is growing every day and the republi-
can party is to blame for it.

ParkeFSCh ar0e,

Four years ago when Judge Parker
charged that Cortelyou was holding up
the trusts and corporations and frying
the fat from them, Mr.. Roosevelt de-
nounced him as liar.
Monday Judge Parker stated in a
speech that in the last campaign
Standard Oil magnates contributed
100000 to the Republican national
committee to promote Mr.. Roosevelt's
election.
Mr.. Roosevelt will not deny the
charge. He will not denounce Mr..
Parker as liar We may believe that
he will ignore the incident.
Four years ago when Judge Parker
made the charge there was ample evil
dence to substantiate it, but-when it
came to furnishing the proofs, the trust
magnates and corporation officials that
had contributed, for obvious reasons
were silent and Mr.. Parker could not
force them to speak
Since then, however, there have been
revelations. The life insurance ex-
posures disclosed that the Roosevelt
fund had received in the vicinity of a
quarter of million of dollars filched
from the trust funds designed for the
benefit of widows and orphans.
The unfortunate Hartman episode
led to the revelation that Mr.. Roosevelt
himself was engaged in inducing the
malefactors to come to his rescue.
And recently there have been Stand
ard Oil exposures at the hands of Will
liam Randolph Hearst-exposures that
Mr.. Roosevelt. has seized upon with
avidty in effort TO distract attention
from Taft's relations with Foraker.
So Mr. Roosevelt will not deny the
charge. For the proofs, we may be-
lieve, are available.
However, he has a copy of a letter
that he wrote to Cortelyou demanding
that the tainted money be returned.
But it was not returned. 1t was
spent, in Mr.. Roosevelt's behalf
And then Mr.. Cortelyou was made
secretary of the treasury for his fidelity
to the chief News.

JOHN RINGLE ON THE GUAR
ANTEEING OF BANK DEPOSITS.

ject, Mr.. Fowler illustrated the advise.
oility of man iDsuriDg his life and in
surfing his house. Then he added page
1l43) Mr.. Chairman, if there is one
reason why this man should insure his
life and that mao his home, l assert that
there are a thousand reasons why the
bank deposits of this country should be
guaranteed"
Mr.. Fowler then proceeded to tell of
the disaster not only to individuals, but
to communities, which followed bank
failure. He also gave several instances
which had come under his personal
observation where large sums of money
had been Withdrawn from banks and
accordingly from circulation, and
placed in deposit vaults to insure safety
Continuing, he said, according to the
Congressional Record:
"Mr. Chairman, the oldest bank
president in some town, or possibly the
president of the largest bank in some
town, may say that he will not have the
advantage in the future to which he be-
lieves himself entitled if deposits are in
sured; therefore, there will be two
classes who will oppose this principle
But banks, like other business institu-
| tons, will gain not by mere age and
responsibility, or by mere bulk of CAPT.
tai, but rather by ability to meet the re-
qulrements of their customers. Square
dealing and capacity will tell for Just as
much after deposits are guaranteed as
before.
"Mr. Chairman, is it not too high a
price to pay to lay upon the altar of
some mans ambition all the business
| interests of this country and still con-
tinue the habit of panics, the destruction
of credit, and waste of business? On
the one side there is personal ambition,
vanity, the supposed advantage to a few
| hundred men; on the other side millions
of depositors with sixteen billions of
deposits to their credit in our banks and
| toilers. Which side shall we choose?
Where does the duty of congress lie?
"Mr. Chairman, so far, without a
single exception, have proved to my
own personal satisfaction, actually and
morally, that these objections to the
guaranteeing OF, deposits have come from
distinctly selfish motives. These, | as
sert, must yield to the greater good"
The Chicago Journal, for 40 years a
republican organ, says:
Mr.. Taft has undertaken to prove that
a workingman who deposits his savings
in bank is not entitled to get the
money when he wants it.
His arguments along that line will
strike responsive chord in the breast
of every bank wrecker, in Jail or out.
But it will take heap of powerful
talking 10 convince the average labOrer
that Mr.. Taft reasoning on that ques-
ton is sound.
! Human nature is peculiar: tits some
times difficult to analyze mems thoughts
and convictions. And one of the hard
est tasks any statesman ever undertook
was to convince man who has worked
hard and saved little money that the
| bank in which he deposited it for safe
keeping should not pay it back to him
when he wants it.
| Mr.. Taft may be able to convince the
people that they are unreasonable in
wanting their money back, but we
doubt it. Further comment is not
needed.

Words From a Marat hon County
Farmer

Our farmers are being told by repub-
lican spellbinders that if Bryan is
elected they will not be able to sell one
stick of pulp wood. One of the farmers
came into the PILOT office Saturday
and said:
Those fellows need not think that
the farmers of Marathon county are
without any sense. The conditions
cannot possibly be any worse than they
have been under republican rule. Pulp
wood is coming in free from Canada
and other countries and we know it
and can't be fooled by such falsehoods.
Another statement that is being
made by republican speakers, is that the
state will improve the country roads.
We all know that the farmers will be
heavily taxed to pay for these good
roads and that this move is for the bene-
fit of the automobile owners, who speed
all the faster to the great peril of these
same farmers and their families who
are to be taxed so heavily. Those re-
publican speakers say very little about
the republican misrule which has
brought on one of the worst panics this
country has ever known, and thrown
millions of laborers out of employment.
Still the trusts, which are nursed ard
protected by republican tariff, are en-
abled to keep up prices and simply rob
the people. When the votes are counted
it will be found that Marathon county
farmers and the laboring men will be
against the trusts, high tariff robbers
and especially against the father of in
functions, VIM. Taft, and will be for
Lowering the Tariff.
Wiping out the Criminal Trusts.
Guaranteeing of Bank Deposits.
Election of U s. Senators by direct
vote of the people.
Wiping out all traces of Government

better opportunity to rebuke the repub-
lican party for the sins it has commit

Mr.. TAFT has been represented by
some of the newspapers of his party, as
a man tried in public affairs" "a man
who has shown his administrative
capacity What Mr.. Taft has done in
this respect is really hardly worth
mentioning, and might be laughed at if
it was all that could be said He acted
as a colonial governor of the Philippines.
So have others acted as governors
there and in Porto Rico and Cuba,
whom no one ever thought of as presi-
dental timber, but who nevertheless
performed the duties as ably as MIR. Taft,
so far as any one knows up to date.
Also, Taft has acted as a member of
Roosevelt's cabinet but so have many
others acted as cabinet officers, both
with Mr.. Taft and before his time, and
as capably as he has, but no one ever
thought of them as being for that rea-
son alone, suitable candidates for the
presidency.

THE Wausau Daily Record Herald in
one of its characteristic political avia-
tons, attempts to deceive its readers by
a misrepresentation of the facts regard
ing the publication by the democratic
national committee, of the contribu-
tions made from Wisconsin democrats
to the national campaign fund. Several
Wisconsin democrats contributed 500
to the state committee with the under
standing that one-half of their amounts
should be sent to the national commit
tee. AS the national committee was to
publish only subscriptions of 800 or
more, these contributions, of $50 to the
state committee and $50 to the national
committee were, of course, not pub
lished by the latter committee, but have
been published by Mr.. Wall of the state
committee. The purported newspaper
above named tells its readers that Mr.
Wallis report falsifies the statement
made by the national committee,
though, of course, the publishers of the
article in question must be credited
with brains enough to know better,
and that Wallis report was only supple
mentary-giving the names of persons
in Wisconsin who have subscribed less
than 300 to the national campaign.
There seems to be no depth of dirty
politics too filthy to feel grateful to the
scummy hides of some partizans.

A Rank Fake.

THE Chicago Record Herald s
straw vote poll of Wisconsin, gives
the state to Taft by $1,000. If the
poll of the rest of the state is as big
a fake as that part of it taken in
Marathon county, the state will give
Bryan 10000 majority. The 103
votes cast in Marathon county gave
the following results Taft Sc, Bry-
an 40, Debs 0, Hisgen 3, Chain 4.
There are, approximately, 10000
votes in Marathon county. Accord
ing to the Record Herald poll, these
would be divided as follows Taft
543O, Bryan 1890, Debs O Hisgen
290 and Chain 800.
Does the most rabid republican
believe Taft is going to get 1910 ma
iority in Marathon county ? The
way the republican candidates are
tearing round the country in auto
mobiles doesn't indicate 1910 Taft
majority. The frantic calls from
the stalwarts for one speech from
Little Bob" looks like 1000 the
other way.
The impartial poll does not find a
single socialist. Does any one be-
lieve this ? Does any one believe
that Hearst's man is going to get
290 votes.
Does any believe 800 prohibition
votes in Marathon county spells
1910 republican majority? The
whole fake poll is a desperate at
tempt of corporation owned press
to influence public opinion and cap
ture the vote that wants to find the
loaded wagon.
How was this poll in Marathon
county taken ? The answer gives
the whole scheme away. The Wau-
sau Record-Herald had charge OF
the poll and their reporters circu-
lated the ballots.
IF you acant all the neios, read the tsoo
Record Herdlds.
