FOR THE OPEN DOOR.

The Commercial club OF PIatteville
did not permit Howard Gray and Col
II. H. Gregg Of Joplin, Mo-, to speak
at its banquet last Wednesday on the
zinc orc tariff question. The officers
Of the club considered the discussion
political, and because Congressman
Murphy is a member of the club, and
also A. W. KOpp, the club thought it
best not to have the question presen-
tcd.-Mineral Point Tribune.
Coming as they did, on the eve Of
election and without due notice, the
visiting statesmen were rightly denied
a hearing. But the Democrat submits
that economic questions, even if they
are also political questions, are
proper subjects Of discussion before
the Platteville Commercial club, the
Mineral Point Commercial club, or
any other club. Such questions are
discussed before the commercial clubs
of the larger cities, and this custom
could be proftably followed in the
smaller towns. The general discus
sion of such questions would help to
dispel ignorance and establish econ
Omic truth; and thus cure many ills of
the body polite. This is particularly
true of the tariff. AS sunlight de-
strOys the bacteria, or microbes,
v,5b fpb oro tho ca,,oo ~ y,bvOioa1 oil
ments, so the light OF full and fair
discussion destroys the sOphistries
upon which the claims of those who
hold that protective tariff taxation
are predicated This is the reason
why at all the higher institutions of
learning the doctrine of commercial
restriction is rejected for that of COM
mercial freedom.
If the people had more forums and
more generally discussed the ques-
cusseu the questions of the hour, they
would not be so often misled. Let us
act at least as though the people
ruled in fact, and seek a good under
standing of matters connected with the
government OF this so great people.
Until revision comes in some form
or other, the tariff is bound to be
public question of great Importance.
Therefore, let it be discussed, to the
end that the folly of high and unneces-
sary taxation may be exposed. Turn
on the light.

Systematic Farming on State,
PrOperty,

The college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin has just
made arrangements to conduct sys
temactic farming on the property of
the state insane asylum at Viroqua,
and is planning to extend the work to
the farms of other state institutions,
with view to make the state farms
models for the instruction of farmers
of the neighborhoods in which they
are situated. The work will be car
ried on by the superintendent of the
institutions, but under the supervision
of G. P. Norgard of the university
agronomy department, besides in
creasing the revenue of each farm, the
work will make it possible to establish
at each centers for the distribution of
the improved seed corn and other seed
grain which the agricultural college
has prod uced.

San Francisco Saved by War

on KatS.
Three hundred and nine thousand
deaths from plague occurred in the six
and one-half months between April %
and November g. 1907, in the Punjab
Province of India. This same plague
broke out in San Francisco on May
y, 1907. Itthreatened other Californ-
ia communities. California and the
Punjab cover equal areas, while the
population of the latter ten times ex-
ceCds that OF the former.
As if destruction by fire had not
brought suffering enough, the doom
Of pestilential epidemic threatened
San Francisco. Yet, just as the city
had arisen upon finer foundation
since the catastrophe of April Is, 1906,
so to-day San Francisco is almost
wholly cleaned of plague and PROCEED
against rats, the prOpagatOrs of the
epidemic. Comparison with the raw
ages of pestilence in India is hardly
just, because there religious prejudice
prevents the killing of rats, although
the frightful morality of human beings
can be traced to an epizootic develop
ed among rodents and spread by their
tleas. On the other hand, San Fran
cisco has been saved by an unrelent-
ing war upon rodents, a war without
precedent, unique, and fairly marvel
Gus in its prosecutions.
At the crucial moment a not-tO-be-
deferred energy moved forward,
grasped the situation, wiped out pesti-
Ience, and has now made the city Writ
ually invUluerable to epidemics But
few outsiders are acquainted with the
work done there, work which by itself
has made San Francisco probably
the worlds most sanitary city, and
which, combined with the scale of re-
construction followed since the fire of
1906, will realize the first twentieth
century city.-FrOm "San Francisco's
Plague War" by Augustin c. Keane,

And the Prayer was Answered.
Little Dorothy, at the age of six,
was very thOughtless regarding the
care of her clothes and the many ad-
monitions she had received about neat
ly arranging her clothes on a chair
each night, before retiring were daily
forgotten.
One night, just as she was ready for
bed, her mother came in, and finding
the little fiarments in a heap on the
floor, as usual, said, dorothy, you
may say your prayers and then moth
er have to punish you for not minding
her about your Clothes" Having
said this she stepped into the adjoin-
ing room and partially closed the
door.
In a few moments she heard Dorothy,
who was firm believed in the power
of prayer, repeat, "Now I lay me"
and after the "amen" she heard this
appeal: "And, dear Lord, if ever you
wanted to help a little kid, nOw's your
chance. THE November Delineator.

THE ELECTIONS OF 1908

are over, and the general result is
another Republican victory. The
fight was from the start an unequal
contest. Together with many other
great advantages, the administration
forces had an overwhelming prepon-
derance of newspaper support, In 1884
and 1892, when Mr.. Cleveland won,
the great Independent newspapers OF
the county were the bulwark of his
strength. The Democratic cause this
year was just; but for antecedent
causes it lacked support, and especial
