The Council is about to make an
other contract for street lighting for
term of years and in as much as the
contract will have to be made with
the Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany it is hardly likely that the bar
gain made by the aldermen will please
everybody. It should be borne in
mind, however, by those who are not
satisfied with the action of the Coun-
Gil that the rates fixed are subject to
review at any time by the State Rail
road Commission on motion of either
party to the contract or any interested
taxpayer. Under the public utilities
law the action of the Council is not
final in this matter until after the
rates made have BEEN sustained by
the Commission in case any one cares
to take exception to them.

The members Of the legislature will
confer favor on the people of the
state who have to come to Madison
by using their influence with the rail
roads to have at least one first class
train a day each way put on to con
meet the capitol city with the outside
world. Madison is the hardest to get
to, the hardest to get out Of, and in
fnitely the worst to stay over night
in, of any of the state capitols and
the inhabitants of the city will con-
suit their own interests by backing up
any efforts made by the members of the
legislature to remedy the present con-
ditions. The strongest argument ever
advanced in favor of change in the
state capitol is the inaccessibiity of
Madison and the vile accommodations
provided for the unfortunates whose
business obliges them to stop over
night there and unless there is de-
cided change for the better that argu-
ment is going to carry great weight
some time in the future in spite Of the
heavy investments the state has made
there.

In the long run the pubic is going
to judge an official by what he actu-
ally does, not by what he promises to
do and numerous windy protestations of
love for the dear people are not half
as effective in demonstrating the
efficiency of any man as public serv-
ant as one single thing accomplished
for the good of the city. Talk is
cheap, but the people eventually get
tired of talk.

Toxic, Japan, Oct. 22.The capital
of Japan witnessed tonight the most
extraordinary evidence Of the exper-
fence Of the new Japan. After Civ
ing an audience to the officers of the.
American fleet on Tuesday, the en-
peror issued an order directing the
people to increase in every way pos
sible the enjoyment and pleasure of
the American visitors, who came as
the historic friends of the Japan
sese nation. The response to this inn
perial mandate was seen and heard
tonight. IL.
Originally a torchHght procession Of
15 900 people was planned as part Of
today's program, but this feature was
far beyond expectations and develop
ed into one of the greatest popular
demonstrations and outpourings of an
enthusiastic people ever Witnessed in
any country. Japan's war celebra-
tons after peace with Russia, 81 on
don's Mafeking night and even New
York's election night revel would
seem almost insignificant compared
with Tokio's celebration tonight.

It Always Rains Just Before 1t Is Altogether Too Late--In Kansas

Ever since the stand Datters in

people of the United States wanted
revision, they have been promis-

some time in the future. For a
while they did not say just when
this was to be, but in the scramble

the various Republican candidates
have been coming out, and are

when this revision might take

by Vice President Fairbanks. who
says a special session of congress
should be called Immediately after

that congress is doing nothing ex-
cept to idle away it time and the
peoples money, and if this revis-
ion will be in order Immediately

it because they hope to stand the

Tariff and Labor.

If Ii we're true. as the Republi-
cans declare in platforms ant
speeches. that the tariff protects
labor, Pittsburg should be a para
disc for workingmen. Yet in spite
of every manufacturing industry
in Pittsburg being protected by
the taft We hear of thousands of
men being unable to get work,
and that great distress prevails
there, and the local authorities
have been compelled to vote
money to keep many from starv-
ing. Wages are also being reduced
for those who are working, but
the cost Of living is still nearly at
the highest point; in fact, meat
of all kinds is dearer than ever.
And vet most of these Pittsburg
workingmen and many elsewhere
vote to elect Republicans to Con-
gress. and elect state senator's and
representatives. who in turn elect
Republican United States Senators
who standpat and refuse to reform
the tariff that protects not only the
Steel Trust but the Beef Combine
and all other Trusts and Combines.
These unfortunate conditions
under the present tariff are forcing
the Republican to promise to
revise the tariff after election. 81
but the promise has a string to it.
for the latest platform provides
that a maximum tariff is necessary,
which means still higher tariff.
