CHILDREN IN NEW ZEALAND.

Their Welfare Looked After with
Care by the Government.
New Zealand Is ahead Of all coun-
tries III the world in the way it looks
out for the welfare Of children, as I
found out, in a recent extended sojourn
In that country" said George T..
Trainor, a retired California capital
list, to a Baltimore American man.
In the first place, boys and girls
who are homeless or do not receive thu
right Kind Of parental care are taken
In charge by the superintendent of ed
ucation. He sees that they get both
mental and Industrial instruction in
the government schools and also finds
homes for them in respectable famil-
les, the government paying for the
child's maintenance unless Its service
cancels the cost Of board. If a boy Is
~apprenticed his earnings are turned
over to the minister, who deposits
them, and in later years gives the ac-
crued savings to the owner.
school children are the special pets
Of the government and whenever they
have a distance to go they are carried
to and from. school free Of charge,
which is easy, as the government owns
the railroads. Big. central schools ere
established In preference to numerous
small ones and boys and girls who live
within a twenty-hve-mile radius are
brought to the school-house and car
ried home daily. In summer special
trains are put On to take the country
children to the cities and the city chill
dren for outings In the country, 20 that
each may learn something Of a differ
ent kind Of life-a policy that broadens
the education Of the young folks and
adds immensely to their happiness.
'.The philanthropy Of the New Zea-
land system is further shown in for
bidding children under IL to work In
stores, factories or on firms, since be-
tween the ages Of Z and II the Law says
they must attend school. Nor are girls
and women allowed to labor In any
place where the occupation is Of = sort
detrimental to their health"

vivIdness lies in the conspicuous fact that the grandest
intellectual works have been labors Of love, wrought by
leisured men whose genius could flower because they
lived above the level of sordid cares. Above the intellect
ara born still loftler and lovelier phases of conscious
ness, still farther away from brute experience-the
ecstasy of the saint, the beatifc vision, the spiritual
illumination, the souls awakening.
These pleasure experiences reflect in the outer world
as pleasure societies and pleasure religions. Not iso.a-
ton, nor fear, nor pain, but ever-growing solidarity, Sc
curity, ease. Under the completed pleasure regime there
will be no national boundaries. Happiness now has ex-
psnded to SO wide a degree that it overreaches the powers
of any one man to realize it alone. 1t is a social enjoy

HUMAN HAPPINESS HAS NO LIMITS.

There are certain big things to which l be-

are happy at all, man Is happier. Above the
senses the intellect oyertiows blisses denied

A Democratic Candidate.

River Falls has candidate for
Congressional honors in the person
of our fellow townSman w. H. Put
nam, who has started out after the
Democratic nomination. The heav-
lest plank in Mr.. Putnam's platform
is the one relating to the tariff, but
he does not want tariff revision-he
wants the tariff wiped entirely off
the map. Should he chance to get
into Congress he will find himself
altogether too radical for the dyed
in the wool" Jeffersonian Democrats
from the Protective States who
would vote with the Republicans
rather than accept his free trade
views. His platform contains no
intimation of how he would raise
the hundred Of millions of dollars
annually required to meet the cur
rent expenses of the government, to
say nothing of special demands up
on the national treasury, after plac-
ing everything upon free trade
basis.
We have no more time for mon
opolies, trusts, overfostered indus
tries, etc., than has Mr.. Putnam but
think that revenue tariff with the
incidental protection afforded there
by properly distributed would be
about the proper thing. We incline
to the belief that direct tax upon
the toiling masses for the mainten-
ance of the government would oc-
casion more inconvenience than
would a revenue tariff.

"DRY" DIDN'T DEAL DEATH.

The liquor interest has singled
out Kansas City, Kansas, as a city
which has fallen into decay as
result of the Prohibition movement
in Kansas. 1t is extensively adj
vertising through newspapers and
upon bill-boardS that since the en-
forcement of the prohibition law
there, which went into effect twenty
three months ago, business has
greatly fallen off, hundreds of
houses have become vacant, bank
deposits have largely decreased,
taxes have largely increased, and
that, in effect, that bustling city of
one hundred thousand inhabitants
has gone to the dogs"
In selecting the city named, for
use in exemplifying the baneful
effects of the abolition of the liquor
traffic, the liquor interest appears
to have been peculiarly unfortunate.
Advices from that city are to the
effect that never before was its ma
terial prosperity SO great as it has
been during the past twenty-three
months. Instead of being as pic
tured by the liquor men, the popu-
1ation is constantly increasing, for
the accommodation of which new
dwellings are being erected, the
number of schools is being in
creased, the business of merchants,
manufacturers, and professional
men has largely increased, bank de-
posts have been greater than ever
before, taxes and indebtedness have
decreased, and an air of unprece-
denied prosperity pervades the city.
SO far as they can be made available
for other purposes the two hundred
and fifty vacated saloon buildings
are now occupied.
In picturing the devastation which
results from the disappearance of
the saloon element only the more
discredits it's cause wnen it names
prosperous prohibition cities as
illustrations for sustaining it's con-
| tention that cities cannot prosper
without BOOZE"

There have been few Republican
national conventions at which the
causes for friction have been SO few
and so trivial as this year at Chi
cago. Secretary Taft lifted the
contest to a dianifed and friendly
plane when he rendered his decision
to make no effort to invade the
"favorite son" States. Each as
pirant has had a fair chance, and
the Taft majority in the convention
can be truly said 10 represent the
wishes of the great mass of Repub-
lican voters all over the United
States.

Littlefield COmmends Jenkins
Opinion of Congressman
Charles E. LittlefieId,
of Main, on Our
Member of
Congress

Congressman Littlefield in speak
ing in the House of Representatives
on May 30th last, referred to Mr..
Jenkins as follows, Congressional
Record, page 8108:
Il may be pardoned for saying a
word in passing in commentator
of the manly and courageous stand
that the chairman of the Committee,
the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr.
Jenkins) has maintained.
He has stood up courageously
against every attempt that has been
made to invade or impair the judi
cial power, and | am very glad, in
deed, to make this statement with
reference to this conduct in connec-
ton herewith, esp ecially in view OF
the fact that in other matters of i'm
portance in which have been large
ly interested, particularly the effort
to procure legis1a zion in the line OF
the regulation of tine interstate trans
portation of Intoxicating liquors,
the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr.
Jenkins) and myself have been
Numerically opposed to each other
upon constitutional grounds, as he
has conscientiously believed that
the legislation supported by me
would not be authorized under the
Constitution"

In telegram to Hon. VIM. H.
Taft congratulating him upon his
nomination for the Presidency, Sen
ator R. M. La Toilette pledges his
cordial support. This ought to
render ineffective all Democratic
hints that the Senator may turn
Wisconsin to Bryan next November.
The fact is La Toilette prefers to
keep the State Republican with
himself as the party leader, rather
than turn it over to the Democrats
who would retire him at the first
opportunity. Set Wisconsin down
in the Taft column when adding up
the electoral vote.

Equity Tobacco Pool Wins.

The WISCONSIN EQUITY News, the
official state paper of the American
Society of Equity, will in its July
first issue make an official announce
ment of the complete success of the
Equity Tobacco Pool by the sale of
every pound of filler and trash to-
bacco, including sweepings, musty,
white mould, wet butts and fat stems
at price entirely beyond the eXpec-
tations of its members. The de-
livery is now going on and is to be
completed by July IL, each member
receiving his pay as he delivers his
tobacco at his station. The price
is more than any of the regular
dealers have themselves sold for and
therefore greatly in excess of what
any grower who was not in the pool
has received. Many of the members
of the Society who pulled out, think
ing they could do better have lost
hundreds of dollars by SO doing
All without exception have lost more
than would have paid his dues to
the Society and his pooling expenses
for years and years. We understand
that the price is better than three
and one-half cents.

National Ticket.

The nomination of William H.
| Taft of Ohio for the Presidency, by
the Republican National Conven-
ton held at Chicago last week, oc-
casioned no surprise. as this result
had been quite generally anticipated.
The fact that he was nominated up
on the first ballot, and was given
over two hundred more votes than
were necessary for choice leaves
no room for doubt that he is the
leader desired by his party, the bal
ance of delegates voting for favor
tie sons" with no thought of pre-
venting the nomination of the man
from Ohio.
For self evident reasons we did
not advocate the nomination of Mr..
Taft, but we are free to express the
opinion that no other man in the
United States is so we'll equipped in
every way to succeed President
Roosevelt as is the one presented by
the Republican party to receive his
mantle. Besides being conserva-
tive, and of judicial temperament,
he has amply demonstrated his eff
cheney in an administrative as we'll
as diplomatic capacity. His en-
tire public life has given evidence
of his conservatism. His standing
as a United States Circuit Judge
was such that he was rendered and
urged to accept the position of an
Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, place
which he had an ambition to fill,
but which through a sense Of duty
to others, he declined. AS Governor
General of the Philippines and the
administrative officer of the War
Department, he has developed un-
surpassed executive ability. His
capabilities as diplomat were
illustrated by the satisfactory settle
ment with the Catholic church, of
the Friar land problem in the Philip
pines, by his pacifcation Of Cuba
when faced by revolution, and by
more recent work along the same
line in the Panama Republic. The
wholesome respect and admiration
entertained for Mr.. Taft by the
crowned heads of Europe and the
Orient, as well as by the people OF
other American Republics, will tend
to restrict friction in our foreign re-
lations while he shall be the occu-
pant of the Presidential chair.
Taft has been tried and not found
wanting in any of those qualities
which combine to make an ideal ex-
ecutive officer.
James S. Sherman of New York
received the nomination for the
Vice. Presidency. Mr.. Sherman is a
lawyer by profession, and has seen
much of public life, now serving his
ninth term as a member of the
House of Representatives. The
vote given him in the convention
was even larger than that received
by Mr.. Taft. While the nomination
of Mr.. Sherman may have been one
of expedience, he is vouched for by
the New York delegation as a man
in every way worthy to succeed Vice
President Fairbanks,
