why Not Give Them a Chance.

During the last campaign, President
Taft placed himself on recol d as being
in favor of electing United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
Recently William J. Bryan wrote the
following letter to the president,
which speaks for itself:
president Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the ratiti-
cation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them a chance to vote on amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by popular
Votep
SIN your speech of acceptance, you
said that you were personally inclined
to favor such a change in the consti-
tuition. Would this not be an oppor-
tune time to present the subject to
congress
1.-THE constitutional amendments,
one authorizing income tax and the
other providing for the popular cleo
tion of senators, would make your
administration memorable, and /
pledge you whatever assistance / can
render in securing the ratification of
these amendments. With great re-
Spect, | am,
Yours truly,

MRS. GEO. CROKER
Dies in LudinetOn, Mich, Last Friday
Resided Here Nearly all Her Life.

Mrs. Nettie E. Croker died Friday
at her home in Ludington, Mich.
Although never robust woman she
had apparently enjoyed very good
health up to two months ago when
she was taken ILL., Many of the friends
of the family in this city had not been
apprised of her illness and consequent
ly the news of her death came as a
shock.
Nettie E. Taylor was born in Ran
dolph, Wis, July 25, 1869, where she
resided until 1872, when her parents
moved to Fond du Lac. Twenty-Five
years ago she came To this city and in
1887 was married to Geo. p Croker
After coming here in 1884 this CITY
had been her home ever since, with
the exception of four years tl9OO-04)
spent in lronwood, Mich, and the
past six months when the family
lived in Michigan. Last February
Mr.. and Mrs. Croker moved to Lud-
ington, where Mr.. Croker accepted a
position with lumber company.
Mrs. Croker, while living in tnis
city was a valued member of the
Uniyersalist church and very active
in church work. Through her associa-
ton with church and benevolent
work she gained friends, in and out of
church, and her death is sincerely re-
GREETED.
She is survived by her husband and
son Morris; two sisters, Mrs. Herbert
Reese of Appleton and Miss Della
Taylor of Appleton; one brother, VIM.
II. Taylor of this city, all of whom

New Tariff Bill Higher.

The Aldrich-Payne tariff bill is con-
siderably higher than the Dingley
bill. Senator LaFollette, acknowledged
to be the best posted man in the o.
S. senate, last week presented to con-
gresS an analysis of the increases and
decreases of the Aldrich-Payne tariff
bill. He says: According to the
figures supplied by the bureau, the
bill as passed by the senate upon the
basis of the importations of 1907,
leaves unchanged the duties upon i'm
ports of the value of $3.50, 6,037, or
64.65 per cent. Duties are increased
upon imports of the value of SAG, TO-
6l9, or 2l.5l per cent, while the de-
creases affect imports of the value
of S96, 1863, 6l9, or 1884 per cent. The
average increase of the entire bill is
5.65 per cent.
GAS the bill passed the house ac-
cording to the estimates of Chairman
Payne, the increases upon the basis of
importations of 1907 affected imports
valued at more than 1913, 900, 900, while
the decreases affected imports valued
at less than $40, 100000
Senator LaFollette declared that
"unless the rates of the bill are great
ly reduced in conference the bill should
be vetoed, as in its present form it is
a violation of the promise made to
the people to generally reduce existing
rates.

RepudiateS Pledges and Violates
Public Trust, Says LaFo7-
Iette'S Weekly.

Senator Robert M. LaFollette, in
his magazine at Madison last week
says that ''The Aldrich tariff bill is a
reputation of party pledges and vio-
lation of public trust The editorial
says in part:
THE Aldrich tariff bill has passed
the Senate in all substantial particu-
lars just as the senator from Rhode
Island dictated it. In substantially
the same form it will become a law.
1t will stand as the browning infamy
OF its sponsor and will hang as the
old man of the sea- upon the neck of
the political party responsible for its
enactment.
ut was framed in secret confer
ences with the representatives of spec
ial interests. 1t was framed in the
dark and in willful ignorance of facts
which by the platform pledges of the
Republican party were bound to con-
troll in the framing of legislation.
''All efforts to harmonic it's
schedules with any recognized prin-
ciple of tariff legislation are hopeless,
for it is not based upon principal, but
upon greed and graft and pull It's
passage in the Senate was promoted
by cheap trickery, .jobbery, chicanery
and manipulation.
"There is hardly powerful special
interest or great trust combination in
the country that is not made its spec
ial beneficiary. 1t is slap in the
face of overwhelming demand for
tariff revision downward. -

Naffz departed Wednesday evening
for Highland, Ill. There they will
attend the annual shoot of the
Central Sharpshooters' association.
This is the first year in several years
that Wausau did not send team to
compete in team shooting. The rea-
son is that Highland is an out of the
way place, and the railroad fare, as
compared with the prizes, did not
warrant sending team down. In
Milwaukee the above named gentle
men were joined by Richard Dobrinz,
who participated with them in shoot
ing.

It is interesting, and sometimes
amusing, to trace the origin of words.
There is the word "pecuniary," for
example. which, you know, means re-
lating to money. Strange to say its
original meaning was cattle" II
seems that oxen were the medium OF
exchange between the ancient Ro-
mans. one OK being the unit OF value.
The first Roman coins bore the image
OF an OK, and the word ''pecus" meant
an OK or a coin, according to how
you used It.
