AN ORDER has been issued by the
postoffice department directing post
masters to confer with their local school
authorities with view of adopting the
most effective methods of instructing
school children as to the organization
and operations of the postal service.
These instructions are to cover such fea-
lures of the service as the delivery of
mails, the classification of mail matter,
the registry and money order systems,
and the Importance of placing return
cards on envelopes. Postmasters are re-
quested to arrange, if possible, to deliver
personal talks to the pupils on these
subjects and to give teachers access to
the Postal Guide and the postal laws
and regulations and render them every
assistance in securing necessary Informa-
ton.

SENATOR ACKERMAN of New Jersey,
who has just returned from an extended
tour through most European countries,
says that in almost every country he Wis
tied the number of men out of employ
ment was enormous, and all of them are
watching this country and praying and
hoping for Bryan election. They want
to'see the protective tariff abolished and
free trade take it's place, for that would
mean the opening of their factories and
workshops and the closing of the Ameri-
can ones. Just so soon as the protective
tariff is removed Europe is ready with
her looms and wheels and furnaces and
factories to glut the American markets
with the thousand products of cheap
labor, and that means that our own will
shut down and idle men take the place
Of those now at work. 1t is strange that
every wage Garner in the land does not
see the danger that impends from the
democratic doctrine of free trade.

WINNING a Juryman.

It is related of Lachaud, the most
famous of French criminal lawyers in
the last century, that in pleading GER
tain case he perceived that one Of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument.
In the faces of all the other men in
the box he saw with his practiced eyes
that his oratory or his shrewdness was
having it's effect, but this man, in spite
of all Lachaud could do, remained
frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however, and presently saw that his
opportunity had come. 1t was q hot
day, and ray Of sunlight had pene-
trated a crevice Oh the curtain and was
shining on top Of the head Of this jury
man, who was quite bald The lawyer
paused in his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court.
''If your honor would please" he
said, ito order that the curtain in
yonder window be lowered a trife
am sure that the sixth juryman would
appreciate it,
This sign of watchful attention won
the obstinate juryman's heart and

A Shrewd Dcc1cr.

'This Incident said doctor, "hap-
pened in France two or three centu-
ries ago, in the days when public
criers were always in evidence. There
was a physician of Montpelier who
used to go from place to place to prac-
tice the healing art. He employed a
very ingenious trick to help him on
his way. When he came to town
where he was not known he pretended
to have lost his dog, which he de-
clared was very valuable animal,
and ordered the public crier to roam
about, beat loud on his drum and offer
a reward Of % louis to whoever should
bring the dog to him. At the same
time the crier was directed to mention
all the titles and academic honors Of
the doctor as well as his place of resi-
dence OF course it happened that the
doctor was not long in becoming al
most the sole topic Of talk In the town.
The people made up their minds that
he must be famous physician as
well as very rich one, as he could Of

MILwAUKEE's two most remarkable
aged men are Judge Henry L. Palmer,
the Oldest insurance official in point Of
years and service in the United States,
and John w. Dunlop, who at 95 years is
still superintendent OF Juneau park.
"Work hard and late; do not be afraid
of exercise and fresh air; never get
drunk; do not smoke to excess; lead a
religious life" This is the formula of
Mr. Dunlop for longevity. Mr.. Dunlop
has always been a moderate drinker, but
as he says, the reason for his good old
age is that he was never drunk and was
not afraid of work. That the world Of
fers more opportunities to the young
man today than it did three-quarters of
century ago, is the opinion Of Judge
Palmer Judge Palmer does not give
the same formula for long life that Mr..
Dunlop gives. He talks on the oppor
tunities OF a young man. "The man
with brains, resourcefulness and hustle
can win today or in the future, just as
he has done in the past. The world is
wide and opportunity is on every hand"
he said. From every standpoint there
is today more chance for the young men
of the world than ever before. All that
is needed is stamina and brains" Judge
Palmer is only six years the Junior of
Mr.. Dunlop, and both are as active as
men of rs fewer years.

THERE will be submitted to the voters
of Wisconsin at the November elections
one of the most important constitutional
amendments that has ever been before
the people The movement for better
roads has resulted in much permanent
benefit in all progressive states, except
ing Wisconsin, because the other states
have taken the matter up and with the
state funds helped the farmers build
good roads This state aid comes al
most entirely from taxes on corporations
and cities, and is recognized to be just
because better roads mean better busi-
ness to these cities and corporations
Wisconsin is the only state having left
in it's constitution provision that for
bids the state to give its funds to help
the farmers build roads Other states
had such provisions but have long since
amended the away. The amendment
to be voted on in Wisconsin changes this
provision in it's constitution go as to per-
nit the legislature to appropriate money
to aid in building roads

Mr.. BRYAN has said that the American
Tobacco company is one of the corpora
tons which are conducting their bust
ness in restraint of trade. He has rod
for the backs of such corporations. 1t is
TO put on the free list the articles which
compete with their products. So, to
punish the American Tobacco company
and Mr.. Thomas It. Ryan for their sins,
he would put cigars, cigarets, etc., on the
free list. That would interfere tremen-
dously with the profits of the company.
The importations, which are trifling now,
except in the case of Cuba, would reach
vast dimensions The duty on cigars
and cigarets, except for Cuba, which has
a 20 per cent. Reduction under the re-
ciprocity agreement, is 81 so pound
and % per cent. ad valorem. 1t is easy
to see what the effect of the removal of
this duty would be. The government
would not lose much revenue, for it col
lects about 100000 now, but Ameri-
eau cigar makers would lose and foreign
cigar makers gain work.

Vote for the Grand Old Man Austin
B. Fessenden for the Assembly.
ADVERTISEMENT

(ADNERTISEMEEII
For member of assembly in Wisconsin
it is OF little consequence what the polit-
ical utilization of the candidate may be.
It is however very important that the as
semhlyman shall be a man OF unques-
toned honesty, good business judgment
and personal integrity No one will dis
pute that it is not for the best interests
of the people that the dominant party
shall have overwhelming majorities in
both houses of the legislature. The mar
rover the balance of power for any party
the better will be the Legislative results.
In the first assembly district of Rock
county the candidate on the democratic
ticket is Austin B. Fessenden of the town
of Porter. He is one of the early pio
neers of this county. He was born In
Chautauqua county, n. Y, and in 1916 in
pioneer fashion he came by boat to Mil
waukee and from there "treked" to the
town of Porter where he has since made
his home. He has for more than twenty
five years been frequently honored in his
town by election to the Craftsmanship,
and has at all times filled the expecta-
tions of his constituents by his intelli-
gent and conscientious work in the inter-
est of his town and county. Some years
ago he was the candidate of his party for
sheriff of Rock county, and nearly over
came the usual overwhelming republican
pluralities.
An old true and tried citizen, it would
be a fitting and gracious recognition of
his worth as a leading farmer and bust
ness man to elect him to the assembly
this year.

THERE is general stagnation in bust
ness awaiting the issue of the election,
November third. No one, whatever his
politics may be, will hesitate to go ahead
If Taft is elected, for every one knows
that the safe policies of the present adj
ministration will be continued ia that
case. But should Bryan be successful
the business depression will surely con
tinue, and for at least year, for Bryan
would not become president until March,
1909. and the public would not be in
formed fully as to his policies till Con-
gress had gone into session the following
winter Then even Democrats have
distrust of the stability of their chief on
public questions, az be has so constantly
shifted his positions, and it can not rea
sonably be expected that business will
revive and 'good times" return when an
administration so charged with uncer-
.tainty is potent to put disturbing hand
on every industry. Whitewater Regis

Mr. BRYAN may be tue extraordinary
man his adherents claim him to be, and
which he himself believes he is. His
vocabulary is large and his lung power
is $4,000 horse power strong. but along
with it all goes the fact that be is very
poor prophet. Whenever he finds fifty
or hundred men have come to hear
him he is carried away by his hopes and
expectations, land prophesies his abso-
lutely certain election. II be had lived
in the times of Noah he would have pre-
dicted drouth on the day all the ami

I'VE FIND him first in congress in the
second administration of Mr.. Cleveland,
a member OF the Ways and Means COM
mittee and most active in formulating
the provisions of the German Wilson
tariff bill After five months debate it
passed both houses and came to perfidy.
It leveled the industries of this country
to the ground. 1t threw out of employ
ment millions of wage-earners. 1t de-
stroyed all business profit. Farm pro-
ducts for lack of market fell to point
never so low in forty years. Coxey's
army marched from the West to Wash
ington to protest against government
under which such things were possible. !"
This reference to Bryan and Cleveland
should be remembered. The above is
the way Mr.. Taft tersely tells the effect
of democratic free trade.
