A Kilowatt and What il Will do.

Electricity is measured by the kilo-
watt hour. The rates for buying cur
rent from the electric light plant for
power, light or heat, or for charging
ing the electric runabout, are always
so much for each hilowatt hour of cleo
tricity consumed. This is just so much
Greek to the average man and if you
tell him kilowatt is one and one-third
horsepower he will only get faint
idea of what it is all about.
To explain the term needs, first, a
clear definition and then comparison.
Every one will understand that GER
tain amount of force must be used to
drive electric current through circuit.
This force is measured by volts; thus
we have l10-volt currents and 220-volt
currents, the one expressing just twice
the force of the other; but the quantity
of current passing through a circuit
depends upon the force and the resist
ance, and so the quantity is expressed
by different term, viz, "amperes.
Now the efficiency of the current de.
ponds upon both force and quantity
and to express this efficiency, or united
action, we multiply the force by The
quantity that is, the volts by the am
peres and express the result in watts
Thus ITO volts multiplied by 5 ampere!
is $50 watts. A kilowatt is. of course
1000 watts, which is the equivalent o.
about IA horsepower
But what a kilowatt hour is wortl
may be judged by what it will do. Thus
a kilowatt hour. figures an engineer o.
the General Electric Company, will
light twenty Is candlepower incandes
cent lamps or two standard arc lamp
for one hour; it will pump 100 gallon
of water to a height of rs feet; com
press 470 pounds of fresh air l0
pounds; drive an ordinary passenge
elevator It's feet; print $500 circular
on a l5x2l job press, or 1000 sheets OF
a 32x47 cylinder press; run a SEWING
machine two hours; supply air for

cubic yards of concrete; heat two

What's the Use q?

Geo. Harvey of Cincinnati, an old
time frequenter of the Black Hawk
club is the author of the following wall
of despair:
Did it ever occur to you that man s
life is full of crosses and temptations
He comes into this world without his
consent and goes out against his will
and the trip between is exceedingly
rocky.
The rule of contraries is one of the
features of the trip.
When he is little, the big girls kiss
him; when he is big the little girls kiss
him.
If he is poor, he is bad manager; if
he is rich, he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get it; if
he is prosperous, everyone wants to do
him a favor.
If he is in politics, it is for graft; if
he is out of politics, he is no good to
the country.
If he doesn't give to charity, he is a
stingy cuss; if he does it is for show.
If he is actively religious, he is a
hypocrite; if he takes no interest in
religion, he is hardened sinner.
If he gives affection. he is a soft
specimen; if he cares for no one, he is
cold blooded.
If he dies young, there was a great
future for him, if he lives to an old
age, he missed his calling.
If you save money, you re a crouch.
If you spend it, you're a loafer.
If you get it, you're a CRATER.
If you don't get it, you're a bum.
So, what's the use

Study Oklahoma New Law.

A visit to the state of Oklahoma Tor
thorough study of the new law for
the guarantee of bank deposits will be
made next week by the special com
mittee on banking of the Wisconsin
legislature, consisting of Senators
Walter c. Owen, Maiden Rock; X. {.
Martin, Darlington and James A.
Wright, Merrill; and Assemblymen L..
C. Whittet, Edgerton; o. A Crowell,
Almond; Platt Whitman, Highland and
William Reader, Amigo.
Oklahoma is the only state which has
in operation such a law as is contem-
plated for Wisconsin, hence the i'm
portance the committee attaches to a
thorough study of its workings. Kan
sas and Nebraska have enacted such
laws, but their operation is at present
tied up by injunction. Texas and South
Dakota have also adopted such laws,
but they have not yet gone into opera
ton. On invitation Of the committee,
Commissioner on Banking M. C. Bergh
will accompany the committee on its
trip of study and investigation, and it
is possible there will also be delega-
ton from the Wisconsin Bankers asso-
citation.
AS there is considerable difference
of opinion as to the value and effect
iveness of the law in Oklahoma itself,
the measure will be thoroughly studied
from many points of view
Interesting in connection with the
trip is the fact that Wisconsin people
in Oklahoma will observe Sept. 30 at
the state fair as Wisconsin day, and
the secretary of the society has sent a
special invitation to the Wisconsin
committee and delegation to partici-
pate in this celebration.

The Essenee of Free Government.

The Essence of Free Government.
Ex-Gov Hoard
Golfers Weekly says: "Some per-
sons think the essence of representative
government is that the people shall not
choose their representatives. That is
really the foundation of the opposition
to the Primary election law 1t is the
spirit which actuated the New York
committee of politicians that have been
travelling over the country trying to
find some other politicians who don t
believe in the law. 1t is the spirit in
reality, which led to the attempt by a
so-called investigation in the Wisconsin
legislature last winter, to break down
and destroy the political influence of
Senator Stephenson and Governor Dav-
idson. The people had chosen them as
their representatives in the United
States Senate and the executive Offices,
and certain politicians, who had talked
loudly for the law, disagreed with the
people as to the result. Hence their
opposition. These same politicians will
come before the people in the future
to be weighed and measured under the
Primary law. Depend upon it, if the
record of weight and measure goes
against them, the law will be all
wrong. Take note and see how all the
criticism against the Primary law
comes from these politicians. who are
wiser than the people; who are more
completely the embodiment of true
representative government than the
people. How much fault finding do
you hear from the farmers and the
laboring men? Not much, unless they
are persons who want to play the role
of wise politicians. One old German
farmer of our acquaintance hit the nail
squarely on the head when he said:
Never before dis Primary did ! have
anything TO say about who should be
nominated Der Primary is all right. "
Where under the old system one far
mer or laboring man would attend the
caucus. ten now 60 to the Primary cleo
ton and register their choice. That
tells the story of what the voters think

SENATOR la TOILETTE is the victim
of the post card crank. New post
cards have appeared in Washington in
the last few days which show the
senior senator from Wisconsin in a
characteristic attitude which he as
sumes when conversing on the street.
The card is marked Senator La Fol-
lette" and while the name of the other
person in the picture is not given, his
familiar features are readily recogniz-
able to his many friends in Washingt ton
as those of ellison Gardner, a well
known politic- writer and the repre-
sentative of the Newspaper Enterprise
association. MIR. Gardner is a valient
fighter for progressive principles and
is a warm friend of Senator La Fol
