A Nebraska man made q remark
in Denver the other day that his
state would go for Taft. His
reason was that the voters were
afraid Of tho money power. They
feared that in case of Bryan's
election tbs wheels Of industry
would Be stopped by the few men
who have the power. That mans
fears are not well grounded; capt.
tai is cowardly and never fights in
the open. Capital does not dare
face such revolution as it would
cause by such an exercise of it's
power. Capital moves cautiously.
1t lays its plans behind the screens
and works slowly according to
specifications. 1t never flies in
the face Of public sentiment but
rather seeks to create public senti-
ment through the press which it
subsidies and controls.

Cattle Breeders Organfze.

There is q steadily growing interest
and enthusiasm among the farmers OF
Wisconsin for the breeding of high
grade and pure-bred dairy cattle,
especially for the raising of Holsteins
and Guernseys. Two new organiza-
tious of breeders have recently been
formed by Prof. G. c.. Humphrey
head of the department of animal
husbandry at the University of Wis
consin college of agriculture. The
Central Wisconsin Holstein Breeders
Association was formed at Marsh
field, with Theodore F. Vannedom,
Marshfeld, as president, and j. P.
HINT Of Hewitt as secretary. Prof.
Humphrey also effected the organiza-
ton of the Fox River Valley Guern-
sey Breeders Association at Green
vile, with W. G. Jamison of Apple
ton as president, and DR.. G. n.
Johnson, also of Appleton, as
secretary and treasurer.

Important to Wool Growers.

Circulars sent out by buyers of wool
warns wool buyers against the use of
sisisal or binder Irvine in tying fieeces.
These circulars state that the loose f.
bres from the Irvine cannot be elm
mated from the wool in manufacture
ing, and many of the heaviest buyers
of wool will not buy feeces thus tied.
Attention is also called to the ex-
cessive use of Irvine. Two moderate
sized strings each way are enough for
any fleece, and this year we have had
feeces tied with very heavy, coarse
Irvine, which is nothing less then a
rope, which of course adds to the
weight of the fleece, and this is one Of
the reasons why manufacturers are
using foreign woods more and more in
preference to our domestic heeces.
The uses of binder Irvine is simply
careIessness on the part of the grower,
and the use of any unnecessary
amount of Irvine is an abuse which has
crept into business.

Graduating Exercises

County Superintendent Bray in the
DOdgeville Chronicle: This month
and next will witness the closing Of
all the schools in the state of Wiscon-
sin. The graduation exercises will be
marked by the usual festivities and in
too many cases presents will be given,
much money will be expended on
flowers, and still more invested in
wearing apparel. Right now is the
time for the school board 70 step in
and call a halt to many of the ex-
trayagant customs of this ceremony
Some parents can afford to dress
their daughters in silks and satins;
others can not. Some can send to
the big cities and buy baskets of
flowers and valuable presents; others
can not. The school board should
insist that all presents, including
flowers, be received only at the in
dividual homes of the graduates, and
a rule should be passed limiting the

A CURRENT LESSON.

Less than year ago the cumulative
theory in regard to money was enjoy
ing a vigorous growth. Through the
greatly increased production of gold,
and in other ways, the circulating
medium of the country was largely
expanded; and prosperity was at its
height. And all who had favored the
imitation of the currency, through free
silver coinage, or otherwise, claimed
that the logic of events had justified
their contentious. But there came a
frost and nipped the shoot. There
was contraction whatever of circula-
ting medium; but the Overlooking
prosperity was suddenly stopped.
So the argument in favor of the guam
titative theory, like the talk of protect
ion and prosperity, has come to
naught.

ST. PAUL ROAD TO
GAIN COAST SOON
Tacoma is Rushed With
Record Speed.

| By reason of an unusual squirt il
work representative of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul road yesterday
said they expected to have the great
transcontinental line finished from
Chicago to Seattle and Tacoma next
| spring.
| Regular trains are now operated on
the new Pacific Coast line as far as
Mobridge, Lennon, Hettinger, Bow
man and Marmarth, in the Dakotas;
to Terry, Miles City, Musselshell and
Harlowton, in Montana.
Not in the history of railroads has
a line been constructed with such speed.
The route from Butte to Seattle and
Tacoma, with towns, districts and en-
gineering feats, was given out yester-
day.
From Butte to Garrison, fifty-three
miles, the line goes through the Deer
Lodge Valley. Then comes the valley
of Hellgate River, the timber district.
West of St. Maries the road runs
through the Occur d'Alene Indian re-
servation. The well-known Palouse
district is reached. This is one Of the
richest grain and fruit belts of the
trans-Missouri country. At Tekoa
the Oregon Short Line will be crossed
on a steel structure 1000 feet long.
From ROsalia the line continues
through this fertile and well settled
country twenty miles to Palisade.
There it reaches the shores of Rock
Lake. The banks of the lake are
rocky and precipitouS, excelling in
beauty the far-famed palisades of the
Hudson.
From Palisade the line follows the
banks of the lake five and one-half
miles to the new town of Lavista, at
the foot of the lake; thence thirty-seven
miles through a country capable of
producing grain; but which has hither-
to not been developed for lack of rail
road facilities. Six miles east Of
ROlstOn the line passes over Crow
Creek on a steel structure l ,4O5 feet
long. From Lind to the Columbia
River at Beverly, seventy-three miles,
the line passes through the new towns
of ROxbOrO, Warden and OthellO.
The crossing of the Columbia River
is made on bridge of fifteen spans of
steel trusses, supported by massive
concrete piers, the channel span being
placed so high a draw is unnecessary.
Twenty five miles after leaving the
Columbia River the line enters the
well-knOwn Kittitas Valley, which is
irrigated by water drawn from the
Yakima River. The line passes
through a timbered county to Sno-
qualmie Pass, through the Cascade
Mountains, at an elevation of 300
feet. The Cedar River is then follow
ed into Seattle. The line to Tacoma
parallels the Interurban.
Grading whole length of the line is
progressing rapidly with greatly in
creased forces, excellent progress is
being made upon the tunnels, and the
Columbia River bridge and all lesser
structures of the same character are
in a state of advancement which
makes certain that they will be ready
when the grading is completed.
Tracklaying on the coast will begin
at Seattle and progress as rapidly as
the heavy work in the Cascade Noun
tains is completed. Chicago Exami-

Two Tr1sts And Hoe.

Milwaukee Journal: The president
wants the duty taken off pulp. So do
all the great newspapers. So do all
who understand how the pulp mills
damn and destroy the remnants OF the
forests. So do the people Of the
country, Republican and Democratic.
The Democratic minority in con
gress begs for chance to vote that
they may support the president. The
Republican majority would vote over
whelmingly for the measure. Three
forces in 5nis country are for the
maintenance of the duty--the paper
trust, the lumber trust-and Joe Can
non. Together, they stand off the
president, the Democratic party, the
majority of the Republicans, the
press, the pulpit, the world, the flesh
and the devil. 1t may be sublime,
it Is sublimity of sublimated nerve
and Ossifed ability directed to ig-
noble ends.
1t marks the last depth of degrade
ton of the house of representatives,
and it proves that the needs of the
day hold among their numbers The
retirement from public life of ali the
men of both parties who, like Cannon,
fail to catch step with progress and
look backward and not forward The
AllisOns, Aldriches, Danielses, For
akers, Tellers, Cannons, DalzeIls and
their like may as well prepare to go.
They are at odds with the very spirit
OF the age-and they should go.
