REALLY AN APT COMPARISON.
Good Illustration Of the True Position
of China.

During a debate in the senate on
foreign affairs one day one of the
senators was discussing China's
somewhat precarious position in the
Russo-Japanese war.
Gentleman" observed the senator,
"it has always seemed to
me that China is hopelessly small
and helpless as compared with Rus
sia or Japan. Anything she may have
to say to the combatants Is sugges-
tive of the remark that the gamecock
made to the horses.
This game-cock, as you well know,
found himself one day in a stable full
of horses-huge. restless steeds. They
were all kicking and stamping about.
The cock had to dodge from right to
left and from left to right to avoid
being trampled to pieces. As he shot
this way and that between the heavy
hoofs. he kept singing out:

There was q time when the dog had
NO human friend. perhaps. but very
early In the life OF the world he and

New Haven Register. Man has abused
and neglected the dog. He has al

he can be matched with friends. and
hence the dog has deteriorated. The
friendless dog IL the neglected dog.
and the neglected dog becomes, not
from his own fault but from the fault
OF man, the dangerous dog. Hence
the laws to regulate dogs. which are as
much In the interest of the dog as in
the interest OF humans.
To the ideal Of ''one fiag. one coun.

added "one dog at q time" One dog

GREAT PROFITS TO LAND OWNERS.
Under the system of mining leases
in vogue in this district, the land
owners receive royalty OF ten per
cent of all ores mined as rental.
From this source he derives large
revenue. AT the present time there
are more than half a hundred land
owners in different localities
throughout the district whose in
comes amount to from $500 to %, 900
per month, according to the output
of the mines located on their sever
al properties. Many land owners
have become immensely wealthy
from this source in past years.
At the present time there are
thousands of acres of richest agr1-
cultural land in this district, under
laid with vast deposits of minerals,
yet can be purchased at the price of
farm lands.
Taking into consideration the
vast resources of the Wisconsin
Illinois-Iowa mining district, and
the comparatively small expense en-
tailed in the recovery of ores and
their preparation for market. 1t is
hard to find richer and more
favorably located region in the
world The great number Of in
dustries that can be supplied with
the products of these mines and
the ever increasing demand for
these commodities fully establishes

SPOONER ON TAFT.

Former Senator Spooner's hearty
and unqualified Endorsement of
Taft for the presidency, recently
quoted in the New York papers,
will interest his legion of Wisconsin
admirers who set store by his
political judgment. IAN ideal man
for the presidency" certainly is a
high estimate:
Iregard Taft as an ideal man for
the presidency. His wide and deep
knowledge of law, his highly
cred1table service on the bench, and
his intimacy with all the affairs OF
the nation have peculiarly fitted
him for that high Office. Upon the
next president will devolve the
tremendous responsibility OF filling
several vacancies in the Supreme
court of the United States. With
the exception of Mr.. Harrison we
have had no president in recent
years so prominently competent
to discharge that duty. Taft is the
peer of Harrison intellectually, and
he adds to Harrison's intellectual
attachments the Taft smile which
will make his mo" pleasanter than
some mems Yes" The nomina-
ton and election of William H.
Taft will add another brilliant
achievement to the long line of
valuable services which the republi-
can party has rendered to the
country.
It must be noted here that Mr..
Spooner indorses Taft on his own
merits, not merely as a man who
can be relied on to think the
thoughts and pursue the policies of
another man.

PRINCIPLES OF 80.
PARTY DECLARED
Continued. from Page y

the large Snlpper over the small ship
per have substantially disappeared;
and in this connection we commend the
appropriation by the present congress
to enable the interstate commerce
commission to investigate thoroughly,
and give publicity to the accounts Of
interstate railroads.
eve believe, however. that the inter.
state commerce law should be further
amended so as to give railroads the
right to make and publish traffic agree
ments subject to the approval Of the
commission, but maintaining always
the principle Of competition between
naturally competing lines and avoiding
the common control of such lines by
any means whatever.
1--WE favor such national legislation
and supervision as will prevent the fu-
ture over-issue of stocks and bonds by
interstate carriers.
Trust Regulation.
1.-THE Republican party passed the
Sherman antitrust law over Democra-
tic opposition, and enforced it after
Democratic dereliction. 1t has been
wholesome instrument for good in the
hands of a wise and fearless admins
tration. But experience has shown
that its effectiveness can be strength
ened and it's real objects better at
tanned by such amendments as will
give to the federal government greater
supervision and control over, and sc.
cure greater publicity in, the manage
ment Of that class of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce having
power ana opportunity to effect mon
opolies.
Relief for Employees.
"The enactment in constitutional
form at the present session Of congress
of the employers liability law; the
passage and enforcement Of the safety
appliance statutes, as well as the addi-
tional protection secured for engineers
and firemen; the reduction in the hours
of labor of trainmen and railroad teleg-
raphers; the successful exercise Of the
powers of mediation and arbitration
between interstate railroads and their
employees, and the law making be-
ginning in the policy Of compensation
for injured employees Of the govern
ment, are among the most commenda-
Bile accomplishments of the present adj
ministration. But there is further work
in this direction yet to be done, and
the Republican party pledges its con-
tinued devotion to every cause that
makes for safety and the betterment
of conditions among those whose labor
contributes so much to the progress
and welfare of the country.
Wage Farmers Generally.
"The same wise policy which has in
duced the Republican partX to main

Possibly it is good politics" to
harp on the fact that Mr.. Taft has
been in general agreement with Mr..
Roosevelt, in order to appease the
curious apprehensions of those who
are in a tremor about the ''reac-
tionary" bogy. But the thing has
been overdone, with sthe incon-
veuient result that democratic
Iape1s are shrewdly exploiting the
impression of Nr. Taft as mere clay
ia the hands of Potter Roosevelt.
This beIittling theory of Taft is
grotesquely out of keeping with his
own splendid and independent
administrative record. 1t is high
time for those who know to give
the secretary the genuine kind OF
praise that indorses him for him
self, and not with reference to Mr..
Roosevelt.
There are important regards OF
temperament and equipment where
Mr.. Taft is plainly Mr.. Roosevelt's
superior. No public man knows
Mr.. Taft better than Mr.. Spooner
does. His enthusiastic Endorsement
of the prospective republican nomi-
nee on his own merits is timely and
refreshing. Milwaukee Sentinel.
