The "MescaI Button"

Uncle Sam is becoming excited
over the weekly sprees of his Indian
wards in Arizona. Fearing that
they are giving themselves over to
the slavery of the dope habit, he
has set on foot an investigation of
of reports about their use of the
"mescal button" so-called.
Con missioner Leupp has been
advised that its use is declared by
the Indians to assist them in break
ing away from whiskey drinking,
but the question in the minds of
some government officials is whether
the "mescal button" isn't poor
substitute for whiskey.
Whatever the ultimate effects of
the so-called mescal, the Indians
show that in it they have a sure
cure for that blue feeling. By the
time they have swallowed a few
buttons they cannot think a pessi-
mistic thought nor see an ugly
thing. They can see the silver lin
ing through the darkest cloud.
The "mescal" as it is popularity
known, or the "peyote," to be more
correct, is full-fedged Indian
deity. And in plotting his down
fall the government officials are

THE MINING REGIONS
OF Sinaloa are very rich and extern
sive, and some of them are among
the most noted of the republic of
Mexico. Without going into detail
it will suffice for this article to
state that in the north the region
about Choix, and in the south the
Rosario region define the ends
within the state of Sinaloa of
q mineral belt that has been one of
the most famous metal producers
in the world. There, as in other
parts of Mexico, the mining indus
try has suffered period of decline
as the result of we'll known causes,
the principal one being the COM
parative inaccessability rendered
by development of railway systems
in other mineral regions of no
greater natural resources. Beyond
the Sierras lie the mineral re-
gions OF the great state of Durango
that may be taken in consideration
with those of Sinaloa, as they are
tributary in measure to the com
mercial cities of the coast, and
afford a great and growing market
for the agricultural product ms Ct
Sinaloa. The construction of the
West Coast route Of the Southern
Pacific, has placed within easy
reach mining regions that have
been isolated rom the rest of the
world so long that they have been
considered hardly worth attention,
and Ouly the richest mines therein
have been possible OF exploitation.
The qulckneos and cheapness of
transportation brought about by
the road now building will work
wonders. Completion across the
mountains of the Kansas City,
Mexico d Orient railway, in oper-
alton now between Topolobampo
and Fuerte, will add greatly to the
scope of the accessible regions; and
it is reported that the Siualoa &
Durango railway, which has been
in operation many years, between
the seaport of Altata and Culiacan,
will be extended now to its orig
inal objective point, extending
widely IN another direction the
region of accessibility, and in
augurating season OF great and
wonderful development, ofall which

Municipal Plant a Failure.

Algoma, Wis.,, Jan. %. The city
Of Algoma finds that the municipal
light and water plant is running
behind, and Is appealing to its citizens
to come to the aid of the institution.
For the year 1907 the city paid FIR
water and light the sum of $365s,
while private persons and corporations
paid $4763, approximately. The cost
of running the plant, labor, fuel,
minor repairs and incidentals, is about
$40 per day or $500 year. Thus, it
Is shown that there is but s112l to pay

ROB JOHN GRuEl'S
BOWLING ALLEY
Chief Block in Search of Hdr-
~ Liebermdnn who is
Suspected.
lE'rOm WednesdaY's Daily.l

Chief of Police Block WAS visitor
in Milwaukee yesterday armed with
warrant for the arrest of Harry
Liebermann of this city. young man
twenty years of age, who is charged
with theft at John Gruel's bowling
alleys some time Monday night. Mr..
Cruel made complaint IN Justice
Henze's court yesterday, alleging that
$40 III pennies were taken, also 81 in
change from the cash register and u
box of cigars frum the show case.
The theft was first discovered when
the front door was opened yesterday
morning. 1t was observed that the
rear door was OPEN Mr.. Cruel was
then certain that robbery had been
Committed, for he was positive that
he closed and locked the rear door the
night before when ne left for home.
Suspicion at once rested on young
Liebermann, who has had a rather
checkered career and who has been
mixed up in several affairs of q
similar nature. The suspect had been
employed as pin setter ut the alleys.
The superstition is that the young fell
low secreted himself under one of the
benches at Mr.. Gru.l's place of bust
ness shortly before the hour of clos
ing on Monday evening and that the
lights vera turned out and the
place locked without detecting the
presence of the lad. 1t Is an old game
and looks very plausible in the recent
theft. Liebermann was but recently
discharged from the reform school at
Waukesha. The theft is fastened
upon Liebermann more for the reason
that it was only Monday that he made
the statement, so it is alleged, TO
another young pin setter that if his
father did not let him sleep at home,
he wouic steal something again and
make his father sorry for his decision
not to let the boy stay at hume. 1t
| appears that the lad has been sleeping
about at various places and on several
occasions at certain place forced a
door open IN order to secure a place to
sleep on an old mattress.

NEW TRUSTS AND THE CON-
SUMERs.
The following article is reproduced
from the Evening Wisconsin. 1t deals
with the subject so fully and ably
that 1t should be read by all:
Ask u Kentucky Night Rider why
he goes about under the cover of dark
ness setting fire to property and
terrorizlng communities, and he will
tell you that he is trying to cripple
the trust. The numerous lecturers
from the South, who are travelling
from point to point in Wiscor sin and
effecting an organization of farmers to
hold back crops are pursuing a peace
able and orderly course, but if asked
the same question they VIZ ulo no doubt
anwer IN the same way.
The eloquent lecturers and the
Kentucky Night Riders may be en-
deavoring to cripple dealers trust,
but they are doing it in the interest of
anoih ,r trust-a producers trust. To
the great mass of the people, who buy
the products of the soil ard the
products of industry, and who have
felt the constantly increasing burden
of high prices during the past few
years, it matters not a particle
whether they "sweat blood" for the
benefit of this trust or that trust.
They very much dislike for any
purpose to be made to "sweat blood. :"
What the mass of the people desire
to see IS the return of trade tv natural
channels, subjected to no unlawful
interference from any direction. This,

BRYAN LAYS DOWN LINES.

BRY AN LA 1S DOWN LiNES.
William Jennings Bryan has design
ated the paramount issue upon which
he will make his third race tor the
presidency in event of his nomination
at the Denver convention. Succinctly
stated, it 10:
"Shall the government be admin
istered by the people in the interest
of the whole people. or shall 1t we by
those whom the few, through coercion
and through corruption of politics,
elevate TO power?"
Mr. Bryan in Commoner editorial
argues that the pemocr; t. must
stand unfalteringly for railroad
regulation, tariff reform and the
abolition of trusts, but these he
declares a rebut a part of and second
AIRY to the paramount issue, III
conclusion he says:
"There is no inconsistency in the
presentation of all of these questions
in the same campaign, and, FORUM
ate1y, a large majority of the Demo
cratic voters believe the elimination
of private monopoly, and in railroad
regulation az we'll as in tariff re-
forms. Not only can the three
questions be discussed together con-
stant1y, but they scarcely can be
discussed separately, for the trusts
have used both the railroads and the
tariff wall for the building up of
private monopoly.
"There ia an issue more funda-
mental than either .he trust issue or
the tariff issue or the railroad issue
and 1t is involved in all of these issues
and this larger and more fundamental
issue is this: Shall the government be
administered by the people in the IT.
terest of the whole people or shall it
be administered by the people in the
interest of the whole people or shall
it be administered for the benefit OF a
few and by those whom the few,
through coercion and the corruption OF
politics, relate to power? Shall the
people rule? This is an issue which
all people can understand. Shall this
be peoples government or govern
ment of syndicates and for syndicates
This is the question that demands
attention.

lation, and no matter where you turn.
this issue presents itself. 1t is para
mount because it Is uppermost in the
minds of the people and paramount
also because it is embodied in all of
the questions under consideration.
ION this issue the Democratic
party must stand with the people and
fight for the people. If between now
and election time it can convince the
public that it is worthy to be trusted
by the people it VIII become the
instrument of the people to secure
the reforms, the need of which is now
confessed but the accomplishment OF
which cannot be expected from Re-
publican leadership.

WHY THERE SHOULD BE RE-
VISION.

NiSION.
A newspaper up in the northwest
tern part of the state recently asked
the Milwaukee Journal to give some
good and valid reasons why there
should be a revision of the tariff. The
Journal for some reason did not reply,
probably because it might require too
much labor to enlighten a staudpatter,
who knows about as much about the
tariff as heather knows about the
Ten Commandments. AS the journal
did not inform the editor of the afure-
said newspaper why he favored revis-
ion, the Leader will refer to onr ar
ticles on the schedule, the rates for
which should be revised quicker than
he can spit. First, take kerosene oil
with rate of from 100 to 200 per
cent, the purpose being to keep out
Russian oil In the interest of an oil
monopoly in this country which is d.
viding millions of dollars annually in
dividends. Then. there is the unnec.
essary protection to beet sugar which
brings the price to the home consum-
or at about twice that paid abroad.
Then there Is the rate on borax fol-
the benefit of one company, which by
reason of the tariff is selling it's prod
uct at about three times higher to the
home consumer than it is sold to for
eigners. Then the tax on cutlery is
from 80 to 150 per cent, the heavies,
tax falling upon the cheapest articles.
thus falling on the poorer consumers
at home. The writer believes in pro-
lection but not robbery of the many
for the benefit of the few and is eter-
nally and everlastingly opposed to 8
prohibitive tariff which creates trusts
and monopolles.
