Never answer any question yourself.
Print your platform on your cards, II
you are candidate, but don't answer
any questions about It. The platform
speaks for itself, don't It? A profess

convince the most captious questioneI
that his platform" faces every way

was meant for the blessing of all men.
When he starts on his career he must

When the Little Man Scored.

A meek-looking little man with a
large pasteboard box climbed on the
car. AS he did so he bumped slightly
into a sleepy. corpulent passenger with
a self-satisfied look and two little
dabs of sidewhiskers. AS the car
rounded a curve the box rubbed
against him again and he growled:
This is no freight car. Is it?"
Nope" returned the meek little
chap with the box, "and when you
come right down to It, II amt any

Too Much Afraid Of Dirt.

It is quite true that cleanliness Is
next to godliness," but In this day OF
fads and scientific frills the question
is whether we are not getting alto
gether too afraid of little dirt Dirt
has been defined as matter in the
wrong place, and hygiene is the
science of keeping 1t in the right
place. But we are inclined to think
that we are all little bit too much

contact with the clean-smelling, kind
ly earth, and are in danger of becom-
ing nasty-nice. Washington Herald,

MAY LOSE BIC SUM
Railways To Begin Suit To Col,
Iect Taxes Alleged To Have
Been illegally Collected


Is there a possibility that the state
of Wisconsin may be unable to collect
nearly $1,000,000 due from several
railroads of the principally the
St. Paul and Northwestern back
taxes, alleged to be due under the
old license fee system9
Owing to a decision of the United
States Supreme Court in a similar case
Involving Texas railroads, which went
against that state, but is now up for
.re-argument. Wisconsin may now face
a similar determination Of it's impor-
tant suits At least, Wisconsin suits
have been held in obeyance until the
federal court shall have made its final
decision in the Texas case Regard
less of the outcome, however, because
.of some addition facts presented, in
the Wisconsin cases, it is entirely
probable the suits will be carried on.
During the administration of Gov,
La, Toilette, upon an examination of
the books Of the railway companies
under special discovery statute,
suits were started against the Wis
consin Central, Omaha, Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, Northwestern and
$500" together with several smaller
lines, for the collection Of over $1,000.
900 in taxes alleged to be due on un-
reported gross earnings during the
six years that the license fee law was
in operation. The merits Of the cases
have never been reached. Recently
the railroad companies have come for
ward with a counter claim declaring
that the state owes them nearly 3d.
100000, because during the period in
question taxes were. collected on Gin
terstate" as we'll as "intrastate"
business. The claim of the st. Paul is
for $1,469, 748.56, and that of the
Northwestern for $1,588,908.69
Obviously the point raised by the
railroads is of great Importance, for
it was practically upon these grounds
that the law in Texas was declared
unconstitutional by divided vote of
four to five, Chief Justice Fuller sid
| ing with the dissenting judges. At
torney General Robert Davidson of
Texas has secured ie-argument of
the matter. Twenty-Five railroad at
torneys presented briefs in opposing
the plea of the state Of Texas. Deci-
sion in the Texas cases is expected
monentarily, following which the trial
of the Wisconsin cases before Judge
Tarrant of Milwaukee will be taken up.

(. C. TIMNE A POSSIBILITY
George Hale and Henry Timme Are
Also Being Mentioned For the
Office aloneys Peti-
lions Out Soon
(F'rom Tuesday IS Daily

The fight for the selection of a post
master to succeed John B. Maloney is
! beginning to warm up considerably and
several candidates are being brought
out. However, all Of the candidates
insist that they are not taking the
initiative and that if any movement is
on for them it is being urged strictly
! by their friends and not by them per-
sonally. The friends of Postmaster
Maloney announced this morning that
petitions for his re-appointment would
be in circulation within a few days,
but the postmaster himself stated that
he had taken no steps as yet more than
to let some of his friends know that
he would seek appointment. There
was some interest thrown into the cam
paign Monday night when it was an
nounced that the friends of E. G..
Timme, formerly auditor Of the post
office department at Washington were
urging him as a possible candidate for
the office. When seen this morning
Capt. Tmme stated that this movement
had not been started with his knowl-
edge or consent and he did not state
that he would be a candidate for the
appointment. Capt. Timme has been
in close touch with the post office de-
partment at Washington and there is
no doubt but that should he enter the
field he would be a strong candidate.
It is also claimed that lot cf quiet
work is being done to secure the APP
pointment of George Hale to the Of
fee. Mr., Hale is not making an active
campaign, but it is safe to say that ne
is i'll a receptive mood. eff they come
in here and insisted that [ go down and
take charge. of the post Office" said
Mr. Hale this morning, - would con
slider it very unpatriotic for me to de-
cline the office, but it should be said
just the same that have not come out
as q candidate and that I have no petit
tions in circulation"
Other men who have been mentioned
as possible candidates are Alderman
Henry Timme Of the Second ward and
George Y, Redeker Mr.. Redeker has
stated his position in no uncertain
manner, but Mr.. Timme is still to be
heard from.
Postmaster Ma1oney seems to be of
the opinion that in numbers there is
strength and he has declared ftbat he
is perfectly willing and ready to see
large field Of candidates for the Of
fee. In past years the appointment
has been made about Christmas, but
| it is generally almost a year after the
term of office of the incumbent expires
and for this reason it is not thought
that there will be any immediate set
Element Of the matter. It is just pos
sible, however, that some Of the men
interested will be DESTROYS Of having
the appointment made by President
Roosevelt and should this be the case
it will be necessary for the appoint
ment to be made before March 4th.

MAMIE NEWMAN MASTER
Elected Worshipful Master of Kenosha
Lodge OF Masons Monday Night

The annual meeting Of Kenosha
Lodge No. AZ Tree and Accepted Ma
sons was held at the Masonic Temple
on Monday evening with more than $50
of the members of the lodge in atten-
dance. Samuel G. Newman who has
presided n the west for the past year
was elected Worshipful Master for the
coming year and the other officers were
advanced in the stations. The reports
Of the othcers will be made at the
meeting to be held on Dec. %, when
the new officers will be installed under
the direction of the Grand Master Of
Wisconsin. The following officers
were elected:
Worship1ul Master S. G. Newman.
Senior Warden-F. NJ Cleveland.
Junior Warden-W. H. Parry, Jr.
Secretary-M. S. Moss.
Treasurerz-Charles G. Brown.
Trustee-Fred G. Hannahs.
Immediately after the annual meet
ing of the Blue Lodge the annual
meeting of the Kenosha Masonic Home
Association was held. Col. w. W.
Strong. and A. E. Buckmaster were
elected directors of the association and
some time was spent in discussing plans
for the future of the association.
Several changes are planned in the
temple for the coming year and it is
probable that some Of the stock will be
purchased and turned over to the diff
ferent Masonic bodies. A number Of
minor improvements were ordered made
on the temple. A large majority of
the stockholders Of the association
were present at the meeting

From their standpoint the Water
Commissioners would be perfectly justi-
fed in taking advantage Of the special
charter under which the city is work
ing to delay the payment of rebates
on water meters and to keep the pres
emit rates in force under which the
company is doing very well, but when
everything is said and done it will
probably be found that this city will
have to conform to the rules and regu-
lations laid down by the State Commits
sion for the operation of water com
panies The rulings Of the Commission
will in the end be held to apply to all
cities in the state or to none That
would be the common sense interpre-
tation of the law.

Certain members of congress are
spelling for row with President Roosez
welt over his action in severely criti-
cising that body in his annual mes
sage for the amendment to the sundry
civil bill placing extraordinary re-
strictiOns on the use of the secret
service agents and there is little doubt
but that they will be accommodated by
that gentleman to the fullest extent
A first class fight of any kind is meat
and drink to him and real row with
congress will make a grand finale to
his stormy administration. It is to be
hoped that the matter has gone too
Ear now to drop and that the whole
thing will be given a thorough airing.
The president is evidently willing to
do his share and he has evidence that
he believes will establish his case. If
any combination of land thieves and
criminals has the power to force the
insertion of an amendment in any bill
before congress that in the words of
the president EFhas been of benefit
only, .and could be of benefit only, to
the criminal classes" and further if
any members Of congress are afraid of
the work of the secret service agents
it is time the country knew all about
it. If it turns out that congress is
only blufing and has no real desire
to have the president s evidence made
public it is going to leave a bad i'm
preston.

Assistant Postmaster Hitchcock
Finds Flaws in Existing Con-
ditions in Post Offices
TO EXTEND FREE DELIVERY

The annual report of T. il. Hitch
cock, first assistant postmaster general
was made public today. In part, it
says:
At the end Of the last fiscal year
June 80, 1908-there were in operation
a total of 61,158 post Offices in the
United States, according to the annu-
al report Of the first assistant post
master general, made public today
The number Of postJnasters appointed
at presidential offices was 2174, while
1895 were given commissions in the
fourth class offices.
The policy of the department, it is
stated in limiting so far as possible
the average daily hours Of service Of
post office clerks to eight, and to have
only such work done on Sundays as is
necessary to prevent delay in the trans
mission Of the mails and convenience
to the public, has put the service
practically on an eight hour basis SO
far as the larger post offices are con
cerned. In the case of the smaller
Offices, the report says it has not al
ways been feasible to establish an eight
hour schedule, without increased ex-
pense, owing to the late and early arri-
val and departure of mails To offset
this, the department has issued instruc-
tious to postmasters to allow the clerks
brief periods off duty at times when
mails are not being received or dis
patched
The fact that millions are appropri-
ated by Congress for sites and struc-
lures to be used for post office purposes
with the department having no voice in
the selection of the site or the design
ing and equipping Of the building, is
cause for considerable comment and
criticism. A convenient location, an
interior arrangement planned with
special reference to post office needs,
and a proper equipment are vital to
the prompt and economical handling of
the mails, says the first assistant
"Moreover,' he adds, Z" the require
ments of the large post offices with
respect to location and design differ so
materially from tnose of the other gov
eminent establishments usually housed
in federal buildings that it is rarely
bfeasible to place them under the same
roof without disadvantage to the pos
tai service.''
Of special interest to the general
public are the recommendations relat-
ing to the extension and improvement
of the city delivery service Millions
of people residing in small towns, it
is stated, are without any form of free
delivery. This condition, the report
says, can be remedied by amending the
law 50 as to permit Of the establish
lnent Of city delivery service at post
Offices where the receipts are as much
as $4,000 annually.
The previous recommendation that
mail shall not be delivered by city
carriers except at residences or offices
where suitable mail receptacles are
placed at the door or entrance, is re-
newed. "The expense to the patrons
would be trifing,' says the report,
E'while the amount of time saved by
the letter carriers who now wait for
an answer to the door bell would be
better employed in giving more fire.

How about that rule to keep the ex-
penditures in any city department
within the appropriation made for it
in the general tax levy? Had that
rule been strictly applied in the past
year, there would have been money in
the treasury now for some Of the funds
show handsome credit balances con
the books" while there is not cent
left really, all the money having been
paid out in overdrafts in other funds.

The various associations of county
clerks, sheriffs, registers, of deeds, ETC.,
tnat have been formed recently or to
be organized in the near future, will
make many recommendations to the
legislature that should receive careful
consideration from that body. In
making laws for the conduct of public
business it is not bad idea to consult
with the men who will have to do the
work under them and that does not
appear to have been done in some of
the legislation passed in the last few
years in this state.

When a play not only grips the heart

therefore, that "Paid in Full' has

Eugene Walter actually lived the play.
He breathed his very existence into it.
It is almost unnecessary to say at the

we are blinded by the glitter. Tt is

For the first rlme since it became
national pastime organized base ball
is face to face with a scandal touching
the honesty of the games and the
whole future of the sport depends in
a large measure on the action of the
magnates in this crisis. The populari-
ty and financial success of profession
al base ball is due to the absolute con
viction in the public mind that the
game is absolutely on the square.
Once let that confidence be shaken and
the sport will rapidly degenerate to a
mere gambling proposition.
