MISS MARTHA WICK
TO WE'D MR.. W|L[|Tz
Ceremony viii Take Place in
Town of Emmett This
Afternoon.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Wick in the town of Emmett this after
noon at 80 O'Clock, will occur the
marriage of their daughter, Miss
Martha Wick, to Mr.. Ernest Willitz
of the town of Emmett, but who re-
Gently purchased a farm about six
miles west of Whitewater. The
ceremony will be performed by the
Rev. julius Klingmann. pastor of St.
Marks church of this city, in the
presence of large number of the rel
atives and friends of the couple. Both
are we'll known and popular young
people. The bride o-be was born
and reared in the town of Emmett and
possesses wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Willitz was born in the town of
Watertown, but tor number of years
has resided in the town of Emmett.
The couple enter matrlmony under
most favorable conditions and their
friends. including The Leader, trust
that their married life will be con-
tinual round of happiness. The cou-
pie will soon make their home on the
farm near Whitewater.

a view to getting votes, but it does
mean that there will be no bill voted
to any fixed policy. 1t is just such
conditions as that have |, d the people
to have little confidence in the rea i
craftsmanship of the ma jority of those
who represent them in the house and
senate. Instead of acting on states
men principles they devote their
energies to the development of
schemes for securing their reelection.
If this course is followed up it will
result n some very important changes
IN the makeup of congress, because
there is not doubt that number of
familiar faces sill be missing in the
next congress- The interests of the
country are worth more to the people
than the reelection of any man Or
set of men, and when they see that
their time is being frIttered away and
efforts concentrated on devising ways
and means for reelection, they will
simply invite some of the gentlemen
to stay at home and let more GO in
who will attend to business.

TIME TO ACT

All Italian anarchist who had been
in this country but three months shoots
and kills-wilfully murders, Rev. FIR.
Heinrich, a priest in one of the lead
ing Catholic churches in Denver, Colo.
Sunday. The priest was administer
ing the holy sacrament at the railing,
the murderer being among the kneel
ing communicates and as he was pass
ing the consecrated wafer he was shot
down while performing his holy office.
1t was heartless crime, for the muir
derer could not have had any grievance
against the priest whom he shot down
in cold blood. 1t is certainly high
time that the government took active
measures to rid the country of all an
archists who as general thing are of
foreign birth and never become citi-
zens of the United States. While the
constitution provides for free speech,
it does not and should not protect men
who indulge in speech imicable to the
SAT, ty and welfare of the people ana
country. When man gives express
ion to anarchist ideas and advocates
robbery and murder, he should be
deported at once, if foreigner, and if
citizen locked up for a term of
years where he can do no harm. 1t
is treason of the rankest kind and
might justly be treated AS such, and
1T is time to act.

SLAVERY STILL EXISTS.

There Is an abundance of evidence
now in possession of the government
to the effect, that slavery still exists
in several of the southern states,
especially in mississippi and Florida.
In the last named state 5000 men
are held in condition of peonage by
the Standard Oil Co. and forced to
work by armed guards without pay
and ted upon the very poorest of food.
The matter was investigated and an
action brought in an United States
court to bberate the salves. for they
are nothing less, and punish the
parties holding them in captivity but
the judge dismissed the action. The
men are forced to work in all kinds
of weather, halt fed and clothed, on
a railroad belonging to theStandardOil
Co. and in its turp entine camps. After
the action was dismissed, the depart
ment of justice at Washington took
the matter up, but the Standard, it
appears, had influence sufficient to
stave action and on Saturday a reso-
luton was offered in the House of
Representatives providing for an in
vestigatlon into the subject of peonage
in the south, but the speaker of the
House, to the surprise of everybody,
overruled the committee on rules
from which the resolution eliminated,
holding that the resolution was Dot
privileged. If there ever was a reso-
luton that was privileged, it GER

CERTAINLY ABNORMAL,

Speaker Cannon refers to President
Roosevelt az "abn ormal." He cer-
tainly is abnormal, but in the best
sense. Without being either q
politician nor trickster he has reached
the highest office in the gift of his
countrymen. He is not demagogue.
but demands "souare deal'' for all,
rich or poor, high or low, learned or
unIearned. He has attacked wicked.
ness in high places, when 1t would
have been better for him if he had
further political aspirations to have
maintained mastery silence. He
is not afraid to call things by their
right names and the "criminalIy
opulent'' receive no favors at his
hands. He IS a man who can be
trusted for he will do that which is
right by all classes, and the rich
rogues will receive no more consider
alton than the poor rogues. He is
mighty abnormal as compared to
Cannon and those who are his political
associates.

THE WAY IT LOOKS.

This IL not bad time to give ex-
preston to few simpel truths in
regard to national politics and national
characters in politics at this time,
and how things seem to one look ing
on from a dlsinterested balcony.
Roosevelt has proven by The manner
of his election that he ls the most
popular man that any party in this
country has nominated for office.
He has proven by his course as
president that his thought is that as
between the great trusts and syndicated
wealth of the country, and the peo-
pie, the place for the president of
this nation il on Tire side of the people.
Bryan advocated some rather radical
things in the past, aud Roosevelt had
the courage land it is a courage that
few men possess) to deliberately stand
for the things that Bryan stood for,
and urged their adoption by the lie
publican party. and. their incorporation
into Law as measures of relief.
Because Roosevelt has stood with
the people, the wealth of the country
and the great corporations of the
country have gradually and surely
organized against him and against the
things for which he stands, and the
fight today in America is not between
Hughes and Roosevelt, nor between
Fairbanks and Taft, nor between
Cannon and ROOSEVELT is simply
and solely fight between the
syndicated wealth and great corpo-
rations of the country-the captains of
industry and Roosevelt
The greater number of candidates
the captains of industry can get into
the field-the more favorite sons in
whose breasts they can create presi-
Dental ambitions and expectations,
the better will be- their chances OF
success. With the captains of in
dustry, if they would proclaim tn ei r
real sentiments, the cry would be.
"Anything to beat Roosevelt and
Rooseveltism.
The writer is no prophet, neither
il he the son of prophet but he
predicts that if the syndicated int er
ests in this country succeed in turning
Roosevelt down, by turning down the
man who has credit for standing for
the Roosevelt policies, the nominee
of the next Democratic convention
will be the next president of this
nation, and he spells his name
BRYAN.
