1t has been the general opinion that
our city water was good and free from
all impurities, but such seems not to
the case. At the store Of William
Schiebel are two bottles of water, the
water in one having passed through a
filter, which is pure and IS clear rs a
crystal. In the other bottle is water
which had passed through the filter
after it had been reversed, and con-
tains all of the impurities and sedi-
ment taken from the water in the
first bottle. The water is of a redish
tint and full of dirty sediment unfit
for for drinking. 1t is matter
which should receive the attention of
the board of public works.
The Wisconsin State Board of Ag-
riculture in the interests of the farm

ances for the promotion of the work
to be done in the respective buildings.

SENATORIAL COURTESY HUM
BUG

Senatorial courtesy is a great
thing. When the Aldrich tariff
bill was under consideration in the
senate, Frye and Hale of Maine,
two of the representatives of the
eyndicated wealth of the country
asked that the duty on print paper
be raised from 81 per ton as it was
in the Payne bill to 81 per ton, and
it was done and Senator Stephen
son, the misrepresentation OF Wis
consin voted for the bill on its
passage. The increase was to sat
isfy the Maine senators, there be-
ing several paper mills in that
state which do not need any pro-
lection, for the tax simply augments
the immense wealth they are amass-
ing. There is used in this country
annually 100000 pounds of
print paper and as a courtesy to
Frye and Hale the consumers must
pay as bonus to the paper makes
81 1905 which practically de-
clares trade war between this
country and Canada by which we
may lose $3.50, 900, 900 of business.

We less intelligence, less moral sense,
duller sense of Justice? Are we
weaklings that we shuttle and tolerate
these things which others have over
come? A very sorry mess be make in
trying to excuse or justify ourselves.
We catch at scapegoats, like 1.-The
fool of immigrants or too free
suffrage, lilies both of them. We
can't use scapegoats in the Palace of
Truth. We have to face our own sins.
"Those with which We have to do
here and now are large lettered that
the simplest minded of US all can
read them on the run. In shaping our
Republic, We dropped out lot of
symbols that have been dear TO the
heart of the race-titles, notiliuies,
ribbons, stars and jeweled carriers.
They were baubles, yes, but baubles
for which strong men would work like
slaves and face death gaily hundred
times. We cast them aside and it
Was wisely done, but we had to put
something in their place. Only one
thing remained to Us and that is dis
function in property possessions.
"To possess more than your fell
lows is to have more power than
they, and power since dateless time is
that men craved. To get control of
enough of it is to make the world run
after you and du your bidding. All
that the senuous heart of man wants
is his for the asking. He may buy
seat in the Hall of State or a foreign
embassy. Not all women, but he may
buy beautiful woman, or two
women. Or if it is the woman who
has enough, what may she not buy I?
AS easily as she may have bit uf
lace over counter, che can huy a
prince of the blood, or a duke with
stately historic halls thrown in. She
may ind great difficulty in paying his
bills, and the dream NAV turn to
ashes, but she can buy them as she
can buy lord, or no end of dapper
little counts and bsrons and pay their
bills. And these are but fraction
of what you may have if you only win
distinction among your fellows in
property possession.
LAS nation, we have been forced
to concentrate on those material SYM
bols. aud We have Overcome it. We
fell upon continent as vast as it
was choked with wealth resources.
No people ever had the chance or the
temptation that came to US. Practic-
ally unavoidable was it that we should
have allowed the slow growth of the
professional politician the boss, the
machine, caucus, and manipulated
convention.
"Yet all the time, business seek
ing special advantage uses this ex-
pert pol tician as partner. 1t has
developed him and kept him in his
place. 1t uses the jury fixer, the
man who teaches the people contempt
for law and justice Monopoly enters
into deliberate and systematic rela-
tIons with him. He may be pand-
erer, gambler, protector of criminals;
he may be that most luathsome Great
ure that walks our streets, the man
who organizes the prostitution of

sells herself on the street is a pattern
of virtue compared to that type of

II. Newell, director Of the United
States reclamation service, who to-
gether with the senate committee on
irrigation is in Colorado investigating
government projects, passed through
Denver last night on his way to the
western slope.
Mr. Newell gave out an interview in
which he summarized the work of the
reclamation service since he became
connected with it.
1.-THE service has partially reclaimed
and will eventually supply water for
767, $50 acres of land in the west. and
has actually irrigated 424549 acres"
hesaid. This entire area will even
tually supply homes for $4,000 per-
sons, and we hope to have it all I'M

of irrigation canals and So tunnels
We have provided storage for 900, 800
acre feet of water, all of which is

Mr.. Newell said that the govern
ment had $4,000 900 available for
work on projects already begun, and
might spend twice that sum econom-
ically, if it were available. He is con-
fident that the senate committee will
devise means for obtaining money as
rapidly as it is needed. Mr.. Newell
