An adequate IDEA of the intense i'm
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given In the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper WAS introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
says: The beginning of Mr.. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
"From TIE first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
lily increased. until now it has reached
q point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become Interested in his
theory that the human stomach Is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims ere cor

"A number OF Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements. showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were secured.
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic OF
them all: Mrs. NJ. T.. Emerson of $50

RENEWAL OF STALLION LICENSES.

According to the stallion service law
amended by the legislature last June,
stallion licenses issued in 1906 must be
renewed in 1903, to make them good
for 1908 and 1893, while those issued in
1907 must be renewed in 1903 The
department of horse breeding of the CO.
lege of agriculture at Madison will COM
mence issuing renewal licenses January
/, 1908 The fee for the renewal of a
license is one dollar, and in forwarding
in to the department, the stallion owner
must also send the original license GER
tificate issued in 1906, to which the re-
newal license will be attached by the off
GERS of the department. Where a stall
lion or jack has changed hands, the
original certificate must be transferred
to the new owner before a renewal Ii
cense can be issued. The transfer is
made by the department on receipt of
the license certie cate, particulars as to
the name and address of the new owner,
and a fee.

GROWTH or mLIrERAcY IN WISCONSIN.

In the address of the Senior Editor of
this paper to the State Teachers AssO-
citation he made the statement that ILL
teracy was on the increase in the state,
and that it was to be found in the cOun
try more than in the city. The city
has truant laws and truant officers to
compel att1T dance of children at the
schools, but al the country the law is a
dead letter. Farm help has been scarce
and high priced and to save a little
money thousands Of farmers are keep
ing their children out of school TO work
on the farm. They IRE robbing the
child Of its birthright If intelligent citi-
zenship. There are more children in
the farming districts today who cannot
read and write, who do not understand
the simplkf rules of arithmetic, who
are cominiors IN ignorance, than ever
before in prJhistory of the state we
believe
II seems impossible TO arouse the
farmers TO a realizing sense of the dan
ger Of this state of affairs, the teach
ers have their eyes upon higher edu-
cation" and the country district school
is fast going into decay,
The teaching fraternity of the state
are in fact responsible for this state Of
affairs to this extent at least, that
they are eponsible for the state Of
sentiment that exists among the people
on questions of education.
Every farmer who has any pride in
fact that he is an American citizen
should look at this question seriously.
He should feel ashamed to see his dis
trict school growing weaker and the
children coming up more illiterate than
were farmers children fifty years ago.
A farmer may make money az the
expense of the knowledge and under
standing Of his children. but what n
record of citizenship that is. He ought
to know that he has bound a weight on
the heads of hia children that they
must carry all their lives. He can
never hope for more from his children
than that they shall be mere money
grabbers like himself. lie cannot hope
to make intelligent farmers OF them
for he has denied them intelligence to
start with. Anaturally bright farmers
boy. living in this county, said to us
about year ago;
II would like to go to the Short
Course Mt Madison, but | don't know
enough. Father never let me go to our
district school enough so could under

must know how to figure if | go to TIE
Short Course. -
What an indictment of that father
those few words are Trying to make
an ignorant farmer and citizen of his
boy. all for the sake of few more
dollars in his own pocket. These little
country school houses, what record
they tell of the men who live about
them. They speak louder than big
barns, fat hogs and many cattle, of the
intelligence of the farmers who are
responsible for them. We may get

cord that some day will make our sons

The Unhappy Time Waster

The idler is never happy. The time
hangs heavily on his hands. The busy
one never notices it's flight. Indeed, it
seems all too short for the accomplish
ment of his worthy ends. He is, too,
less liable to temptation than the man
who finds both occupation and recrea-
ton bore. Do your level best, at all
times and in all places. You owe this
much to your friends, yourself and to
God, who created you. Then, whether
your earthly existence be long or
short, you will achieve as much happi-
ness as the world can offer and will be
well prepared for the bliss that has no
ending. Follow the poets, Longfel-
lows advice and 'be up and doing. "

In it's last issue the CENSOR expressed
the sentiment that very large element
of the American people would enter
tain the thought that Harry Orchard,
the Idaho murderer and butcher, told
the substantial truth when he related
the history of the succession Of bloody
crimes enacted in the west, connecting
prominent labor leaders with the butch
cries. So Thoroughly convinced was
Judge Woods. who presided at the
numerous trials. that in passing sen
tence upon Orchard he recommended
that the board of pardons SHOULD com
mute sentence to life terra. Judge
Woods said there was no question but
Orchard told the positive truth in his
confessions He declared no man could
stand the bombardrient given Orchard
while on trial without losing the thread
of his story unless he be repeating the
solemn truth.

Judge Bashford, who is present IN

support of the Republican voters for he
has acted consistently with that party

same plane with thousands of others
who are among the most reliable sup
porters of the party and its principles.

FORM or covERNMENr AND MONOPOLY.

The root of the question concerning
the present struggle of the American
people against monopolistic combina-
tions in restraint OF trade is found in a
simple sentence taken from the opinion,
by Attorney-General Knox, rendered to
the judiciary committee OF the United
State Senate at the request Of Senator
Hoar. At that time, 1908, Mr.. Knox
was att lrney-general. In this very
able opinion Mr. Knox said;
an my judgment. q monopoly in any
industry wound be impossible in this
colntry where money is abundant ana
cheap and in the hands or within the
reach of keen and capable men if com
petition were assured of fair and open
field and practices as against unfair,
artificial and discriminating practices.

II seems good to think that wise
legislation has brought railroad own
ers to believe that the 2-cent fare law
has come to stay and that their earn
ing under the new law is even more
than when travel was three cents a
mile. After while they will wonder
how they ever existed under the old
passenger rate and may offer the leg
islature that passed the cent laws a
card of thanks. Anyway the people
are satisfied and two are travelling now
where only one did before. The next

be announcement that they are about

the people and the Legislature, resign
ing from the state railroad commission
because the legislature passed and the
governor signed two-cent fare bill.
Now Barnes wants to get on the su-
preme bench to pass on the validity of
the two-cent legislation. And the rail-
road operations generally and their
lawyers, and the Westby Times, want
him there. But do the peor!e who
believe in equality that the laboring
man and farmer desires to ride on the
railroads of their state at the same
rate as the monied man? If they do,
they have no right to vote for John K.
Barnes for supreme Judge. Every
voter should remember this when he
