Greater Brownsville, the metropolis

must lose no time in acquiring GER
tain Improvements which are neces-
sary to make city. First among
the things needful for this purpose. is
a sewer system. That this prime ne

town, there can be no doubt, and it
only requires that the council should
take active steps in the matter to car
~ this thing through Owning the
water system, it is an easy matter for
the city TO own the sewer system, and
the experience of other cities has
shown that such an enterprise can be
conducted very profitably by town

fathers to begin a regular business
campaign for the betterment of con-
ditions in the town, without delay,
and first of all, We must have sewers.

KNOW THE TR U 7 Ii &.

The Democrat has, in common with
every other newspaper in Wisconsin,
received from Senator LaFollette a copy
Of the new tariff law. In supplying
these copies to the newspaper men Of
the state Mr.. LaFOllette renders a real
public service which ought to be com
mended. Only good can come Of a
greater familiarity with tariff tax laws.
The people greatly need education on
the tariff; and they ought to be educa-
ted with a view to the public welfare,
and not from the standpoint Of private
interests. Let them know the truth and
the truth will ultimately make them
free. Give them the simple facts, and
no true democrat can doubt that they
will do their own thinking, and think
that which is right.
The distribution Of official public doc
unents with view Of educating the
people on d political question is new
and refreshing, For years emissaries Of
the Home Market club kept up CORES
pondence with every newspaper man
who would listen to their wiles. But
they never distributed any pnrely off
ciaI documents Their chief stock in
trade consisted of coIored news matter
and readymade editorical articles.
Their hope was more tariff, and more
private gain for the benefciaties Of the
so-caIIed protective system.
And now a copy Of the American
Flag finds its way to every editorial
desk. The object of the publication Of
this new periodical is to pry out Of the
national treasury an immense ship sub
sidy for the private gain Of ship owners
Heretofore the Democrat has not been
overgenerous in praising the public ser
vices Of Mr.. LaFollette, and so we now
all the more gladly offer him a word Of
commentator for fairly attempting to
lead the people Alright on the question
of tariff taxation. His constant reitera-
ton Of his belief in the policy Of pro
lection shows that he himself as yet
only views this great question as
through a glass darby. When he and
other great leaders Of the people finally

Hon. Champ Clark tells in the
National Monthly how the tariff was
revised up and not down. Here are a
few short extracts from Mr.. Clark's
contribution;
IF the Payne Aldrich Smoot bill is
bona-fide revision downward, such as
was promised on the stump and in the
public press, how does it happen that
such brilliant Republican Senators as
Deliver. Cummins, La Toilette, BriS-
tow, Beveridge Clapp and Nelson not
only spoke against the bill and the con
ference report but voted against both?
Those seven are the flower of the Re
publican Senatorial flock
AS a revision downward the Payne
Aldrich Smoot bill is the widest farce
put upon the boards. Its average rate
is mt least 2 per cent higher than the
average Of the Dingley bill as it stands
and that, too, not counting the farther
increase which will be caused by trans
ferring certain items from the free list
of the Payne Aldrich SmOOt mOnstrOsi-
ty That not the worst, however, for
ON March 81, 1910, an additional in
crease of25 per centum al valorem will
be placed upon nearly every item.
That comes through Senator Aldrich
maximum and minimum scheme. 1t
will then be found that in practice the
average rate is about y per cent higher
than the average rate of the Dingley
bill-which is protection run mad and
which result is an open, defiant, wicked
reputation of the ante election promis-
es of the Republican leaders for tariff
revision downward. 1t is absolutely
safe to say that had all the Republican
Senators and Representatives who were
opposed to it voted against the confer
ence report, it would have been over
whelmingly defeated in both Houses.
President Taft saved the conference re
port. Up to about IS hours before it
was voted on in the House, enough Re
publican members and to spare had
sworn they would vote against it to beat
it hands down; but they were invited to
the White House and agonized with.

NOX MuSarunl,

This brief treatise by O. G. Smith
gives a lucid account Of the different
kidns Of verse, as iambic, trochaic,
anapestic, and dactylic, with their var
ious combinations and notifications in
epic, lyric, and other varieties Of poetry.
The several figures of speech are dis
cussed, and a good view is given of
their meaning and use, and of style in
composition, with rules for punctuation
and the use Of capitals.
The rules for spelling, and the princi-
pies upon which they are based, are
then given at considerable length; and
the pupil who masters them will have
little difficulty in spelling the English
language correctly. A language like
the English, which has grown by alb
sorbing freely elements from many
tongues Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Ger
man, etc, will necessarily have a more
complicated photography than one like
the French, which is in the main only
softened and weakened Latin. Yet the
French has many more silent letters
than the English if it has any advan
tage it is that in French the use of 81
lent letters is reduced to sort of sys-
tenn. If the devOtees Of simplified spell
ing are allowed to 'wOrk their wicked
Will ON our noble language, it will be
found that they have merely transferred
the burden Of the pupil from learning
to spell to learning a vastly heightened
list of irregular verbs. Mr.. Smith is
very conservative, and has only sug
gested a few changes in the direction
of conformity to rule.
The book assumes a knowledge of the
elements of etymolOgy and syntax,
which can be more readily learned in
Latin. The English has very few in
Elections, while the Latin is burdened
with them. The distinctions of gender,
number, and case in nouns and ad
jectives and of mode, tense, number
and person in verbs, are here elaborate
ly worked out, so that the application
of the rules of construction are obvious,
and readily understood. The parts OF
speech and their relation to each other
in sentences can best be learned in an
elementary Latin grammar, in which
language the infections furnish object
lessons to illustrate the rules. When
these are learned and understood, such
a book as Mr. Smiths is admirably
adapted to round out the students
knowledge of his native tongue, and to
enable him to use it efficiently.
