Blaming Human Nature.

Indianapolis News: Finally, a
word as to the panic. It is interesting
to see how this is dealt with by emf
nent Republicans, Secretary Taft
among them. He says:
Panics and industrial depressions
are the result of the characteristics Of
human nature, which manifest them
selves in business and elsewhere.
That is partly true-true even of
the "Cleveland panic" which has for
almost fifteen years been such a JOY
to our Republican friends. They
have told US that that panic was the
result of a tariff which was not en-
acted for more than year after the
panic broke. We then heard little OF
"the characteristics OF human ma
ture." But now it seems that these
are very important factors in the
problem. The difference in the atti-
tude of the Republicans is very anus
ing. That we now have panic is
admitted by Mr.. Taft. But it is not
due to the Republican tariff, to the
Republican national bank system, to
the Republican currency laws, but to
1.-THE characteristics of human ma
ture." We hope that people will
remember this, and that they will
give some weight to 1.-THE character
istics of human nature" when we
have a panic.

Mining Men to Meet.

Galena Tribune: The Tri- State Min
ing Association will hold a meeting,
in Galena, on Friday Jan. 18th. On
that occasion it is expected that an
exceptionally large number of those
interested in the mining development
of the Tri-State Association will be
present to discuss the current prob
lens that present themselve for solu-
ton.
The officers and executive committee
of this association have prepared a
program of considerable merit, which
will be worth hearing. The citizens
of Galena have provided for the enter
tainment of the visitors upon that dsy,
and everything looks promising for
an occasion not only of practical
benefit to the Mining Industry, but
one of enjoyment for all who are pre-
sent as we'll.

The University OF Wisconsin has
been designated as the headquarters
of the recently established American
Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs.
an organization Of associations of
foreign students in the colleges and
universities of all America. Louis 2.
Loohner of Milwaukee has been
chosen president of the association,
and Biarne H. Graft of Christiania,
Norway, was elected secretary and
treasurer of the national organization.
The honor was accorded the Wiscon-
sin International Club because it was
the pioneer in this movement, having
been established in 1908, and because
it was instrumental in bringing about
the meeting and organization of SINH
lar clubs in other American Iniversi-
ties. 1t is proposed to establish a
periodical and to develop internatio-
nal and cosmopolitan clubs in all
North and South American UNIVERSE
ties in which there are sufficiently
large number of foreign students TO
make these clubs possible.

will accrue to the honest newspaper
from thesnew ruling"
The publisher who is not pleased
with the new order of things is certain
ly hard to satisfy. He must love
slothfulness rather than the industry
necessary to write out receipts for
moneys paid in on subscription.
During the first half of January, 1908,
subscription account books every
where throughout the country have
been working as they never worked
before. Such is postal reform as it
is; and both publishers and subscri-
bers have good reason to be satisfied
with it.

Field for Woman in Dairy
Farming.

Mrs. E. Dale Baker of Edmund was
given a place on the programme of
the sixteenth annual convention of
the Wisconsin Cheese Makers assOci-
alton, which met in Milwaukee last
week. She was unable to be in
Thursday afternoons meeting and her
paper, on 1.-THE Influence of Dairy
Farming upon Morals" was read by
ner daughter Miss Lillian Baker.
The Free Press published liberal ex-
tracts from the paper read:
"What is true of dairy farming
also is true of all agricultural pur-
suits so tar as family relations are
concerned" said Mrs. Baker.
HSpeaking of the Influence of dairy
farming on morals and on fitting the
young for the great issues Of life, [
believe there is no place like the farm
to inculcate those qualities of body
and mind, those principles of honesty
and virtue, necessary to fulfill the
womanhood.
1.-THE divine command to multiply
and replenish the earth is just as in
cumbent upon the men and women Of
today as when given utterance, and it
is here we are privileged to live the
life nearest the original plan. 1t is
I ho oil re-
to develop and sustain the strongest
characters. 1t is here we are brought
into close relations with our children,
where we can close the door, so to
speak, against the evils of outside
influences.
ga man would never give his child
a horse to drive that had never been
controlled, yet [ have seen parents
sanction the marriage relations in
their families where the contracting
parties have seldom or never been
controlled, save by their own de-
sires.''
After telling of the value of the
environment, Mrs. Baker went on:
"Here it is the son with his father,
the daughter with her mother, learn
early the lessons of obedience, indus
try and seIf-reliance, the fundamental
principles of good citizenship and
usefulness. 1--WE are not isolated by
any means. With advanced civiliza-
ton we keep abreast of the times and
are surrounded by all the comforts
and many of the iUxuries Of life. We
miss the extremes of wealth and pow
erty, both of which are injurious to
the vigorous, healthy growth of body
and mind. We miss the extremes of
the tragedy and comedy of life, but
we possess universal good fellowship
with all mankind, kindly interest in
our neighbors and a degree of self
satisfaction and amounts to great
happiness.
assuming that [ am addressing
dairy farmers and their wives, let me
say: Educate your children; give
them the best in your heart and your
life. You cannot lay out a path for
your child to take; you can only hope
to guide him in the path he chooses.

THAT POSTAL RULING.


About year ago a concerted at
tempt was made by many selfshly
interested parties in different parts Of
the country to enlist all the news
paper men in a general onslaught
npOn the postal authorities, because of
a proposed reform of the postal laws
covering second class mail matter, or
rather in the classification of such
matter. The motives of the postmas-
ter general were called in question,
the safeguarding Of the government 8
interests in the matter were denounced
numerically. And, regardless of the
kind favors which they had long en-
joyed in the way of postal privileges,
many legitimate newspaper men fell
into the plot, and raised their voices
in railing accusations against the
postal refOrmers.
The members of the Minnesota Press
Association, at their annual meeting,
adopted resolutions viciously denoun-
cling the postal authorities and pro-
testing against reform.
In Wisconsin, the Jefferson County
Union lead the hostiIe5, and published
a fierce and lengthy article headed ,
"Sit Down on Madden" Mr.. Mad
den was then the postmaster general;
and the article in question, which was
widely republished in the press of the
state, went away back into ancient
history to trace the evils attendant
upon government censorship of the
press. At the meeting of the Press
association, at Madison in March, an
attempt was made to secure the adopt
ion of resolutions similar to those
which had been adopted in MINES ota.
But this attempt was successfully
opposed, and Wisconsin newspaper
men were placed on record as opposed
to the prevailing abuse of the second
class mail matter privileges, and in
favor of reform.
The Democrat publishes this state
ment of the facts because of their
bearing upon Il recent postal ruling
which is working a great revolution
in the newspaper publishing business,
and which has, by the logic of events
very plainly demonstrated the right
eousness of the cause of the postal
reformers. OF this ruling the Hudson
True Republican says:
"'The ruling of the post office de-
partment that papers to be mailable
as second class matter must have
been ordered by the subscriber and
must be a paid subscription will re-
vert to the advantage of the honest
newspaper. 1t was aimed at class
of papers that are sent to any address
without pay, the first purpose being
to get the advertisements before the
public. The publishers use for send
ing advertising matter, often question
able at that, rates that are designed
solely for carrying papers that convey
information to the public. There will
be other advantages: 1t will make il
harder to start an urcalled for news
paper enterprises; it will prevent AL
INSCRIPTIONS politician from start,
ing a personal organ, sending to any
one who will take it out of the Office
and when in Office loading an unestab.
lished business upon some unsuspect.
