REVOLUTION IN
 COLOMBIA ENDS

Washington, July 12.-The revolution in Colombia Is at an end, according to a message which was received late today by Senor Guzman, the Colombian charge d affaires.
 The message came from the cable agent of the Colombian government at Barran- quilla and was transmitted through the Colombian consul general at New York city The end came without any conflict, the revolutionist army surrendered and the legal authority of the government was re-established said the message. All the country was declared to be at peace.
 Senor Guzman's message is not borne out entirely by the state department advices, however, they being to the eff feet that the department had heard that an armistice has been declared and that Americans were in no danger but that at Santa Marta the situation is critical.
 Late today a dispatch came from Bar ranquilla saying that the port of Puerto Colombia has been blockaded since July by the Colombian gunboat Cartagena.

ID ETERMIN NATION OF THE
TAX OMMISSION.

Elsewhere in this paper is an outline
of the determination Of the Wisconsin
state tax commission in the matter of
the appeal Of Mineral Point city from
the county assessment made by the
County Board for the year 1908,
The report was not received in time
10 present it to the county board before
the committee on equalization made its
report to the full board on last Friday.
Fortunately, however, it was received
before the board had acted on the com
mittee's report which fact will insure a
more just and equitable county assess
ment for this year than would other
wise have been made.
Furthermore, the determination of
the tax commission will serve as a
guide for all future assessments. 1t
was arrived at by the commission after
a careful investigation of all facts
ascertainable in regard to the relative
value Oftaxable property in each of the
assessment districts of the county. The
persons who made the investigation
under the direction of the tax commits
sion were well qualified for the work.
They visited every district of the
the county, and being disinterested par
ties in regard to relative values of
property in these districts were able to
make impartial reports to the commits
sion.
The lowering by the tax commission
of Mineral Points 1908 assessment in
the sum Of $27O, 542 90 is a great victory
for Mineral Point aud assures against a
repetition of the injustice done the city
last year.
On the appeal the city's case was ably
and fairly presented by City Attorney
Thomas M. Priestley.
The cost of the reassessment of the
county amounts to $3,382.62. The
money will have been well expended if
it leads to more equitable assessment
and equalization of the county in years
to come.

Must Print Facts.

j. Y. Brenneman, Editor of the
Sedalia, (Mo.,) Capital, on the duty of
the press: eve should not let any one
run us-politician, corporation or in
dividual. Let us run our own business
and do it as banker or business man
runs his business-on business basis.
Let each man think for himself and
then do what he thinks is right. The
world was never as moral as it is now.
A great wave of morality seems to be
passing over the country. The motives
of public men are being examined, and
the old time methods are pushed to the
wall. In this day and generation it is
the man who gives a square deal on
whom all eyes are centered. If this is

THE ESSENCE OF TRUE
GOVERNMENT.

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
committees 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 Office
and certain politicians who had talked
loudly for the law, disagreed with the
people as to the result Hence their
opposition. Jefferson County Union.
1t is shame for Editor Hoard to thus
brazenly attempt to justify the methods
used in the gubernatorial and senatorial
elections of last year. The use of vast
sums of money, especially in the sena-
torial election, brought disgrace on the
great state of Wisconsin; and the of
fence ought not to be condoned Until
the people rebuke every man who seeks
to buy office, high or low, with money
they will not fulfill their duty as good
citizens. Noman is entitled to a hearing
who would make light of the legisIa-
tive investigation of 1909. He would
mislead the people.
A sure way to undermine the foun-
dations of free government is to teach
the people to look complacently upon
election methods which are more be-
coming to Beelzebub's kingdom than to
the best government on earth.

Secretary Wilson on the Chicago
Stock Show.

Stock Show.
The Honorable James Wilson, Secre
tary of Agriculture, in speaking of the
International Live Stock Exposition,
which is to be held this year from Nov.
27 to Dec. 10, he said
The international Live Stock Elk
position as an educational factor has
carved niche for itself.
Producers are confronted with the
problem of increased cost of every COM
modify that they use, greatly enhancing
their expenditure
Obviously this necessitates rigid
economy, and the man who reduces cost
of production to a minimum assurances
maximum profits and his own survival
where others fail.
The International is teaching its
valuable lesson to the country at an
OppOrtune moment
During the period of cheap feed and
feed lot extravaganza such education
was not valued, because its benefits
We're not realized at the time.
Under new conditions, the man who
produces beef, pork and mutton cannot
afford the use of inferior machinery in
his business.
Economy requires that he handle
the very best types of the most i'm
proved breeding and these lessons can
be obtained at the International Live
Stock Exposition, which is acknow-
lodged to be an educational institution
of the highest order in its line

true with the individual, how much
more so with the newspaper, for it
helps to mold the opinion of the in
dividual. A newspaper nowadays must
print facts and abide by the truth.
Party lines are not drawn as closely as
they were, and a good man has a better
chance. [ think Mr.. Roosevelt has
helped to bring about this. l think
everything is drifting in this direction.
The voter is beginning to vote more for
the best man than for the party man.
Let us be more independent
do our own thinking. We will I'M
doubtedly do wrong sometimes, but let
us stand for something, and it will not
be long until our business or profession
will be on higher plane

Courses i'm Dairyinp.

Young men Of the state who expect to
become dairy farmers will find much of
value in the instruction in farm dairy
ing given in the short course in agricul-
ture at the College of Agriculture of the
University Of Wisconsin by lectures and
laboratory practice. Dairy instruction
in this course, which opens Dec. 4, is
confined to those phases of the subject
connected with farm dairying, such as
conditions which affect yield, compost
ton, and value Of milk; the production
of milk for butter and cheese; separa-
ton of cream; and handling cream be-
fore it is made into butter Discussions
of dairy herd management given in the
courses in animal husbandry include
the Judging of dairy CATTLE their feed
ing and care, and actual barn practice
in handling the dairy herd.
Laboratory work provides for practice
with the Babcock test of milk and
cream; the detection Of common adul-
terants; and the operation of hand
separators, churns, butter workers, and
other appliances of the farm dairy
Whether the young farmer plans to be
come milk producer for a creamery or
to operate farm dairy of his own, the
training thus secured is of special value
In the library he may consult the lead
ing dairy papers and the best books on
these subjects. Those who expect to
improve their dairy herds and to de-
velop farm dairying to its most profit
able extent are advised to take this
course.
