Russia,s Great Premier.

1t is beginning to be the belief OF
Europe that at last Russia has a
prime minister whom everybody
trusts. Under the circumstances that
is a great good fortune for that rather
unfortunate country. Three years ago
the most dangerous symptom of the
Russian situation was that nobody
seemed to be able to trust anybody.
Any Russian in authority soon DEM
onstrated that he was unworthy of the
confidence of his fellows. Today M.
Stolypin is admitted universally to be
a brave man and a gentleman. Even
the reactionaries find it difficult to say
worse of him than that he is "a
man conscientiously devoted to false
IDEALS" and that isn't very terrible.
M. Stolypin commands the confidence
Of the car. the support of the douma
and the respect and admiration of the
entire cabinet He is a man without
nerves, endowed with fine presence
and with great simplicity OF manner.
William T. Stead, who has been max
ing a study of him, declares that he is
another Gladstone; that he has sue
ceeded in doing the two things indis-
pensable to the navigator-he has kept
deep water under his keel, and he is
making way steadily toward his de-
sired haven.

Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg,
long cited as an example: of modern
eloquence, reads we'll after the lapse
of over forty five years, but the fire.
quent statement that its greatness
was recognized at the instant is
challenged by the correspondent of
an Iowa paper. He says Lincoln
was in poor voice, made little I'M
preston, and was so disappointed
for the moment that he reproached
himself for having attempted to fol-
low the polished orator of the day,
whose effort is now forgotten. -Du-

The Indictment of Gov. Haskell
of Oklahoma, for fraud in the COB
bling up of town lots through the
aid of dummy entries, to the great
enrichment of himself and coterie
of chums who were with him in the
steal is simply bearing out the truth
of some of the charges made against
him in the recent presidential cam
paign. When the lustre once wears
off from the surface of the average
t'reformer'' it usually shows an ex-
ceedingly brassy substance under
meath.

A gas explosion in an English coal
mine recently killed seventy men. Had
little more money been expended for
proper ventilation by the owners and a
little more care been exercised by the
men in using safety lamps these work
ers would be alive today. While bet
ter sanitation and hygienic knowledge
are diminishing the death rate from
disease, deaths from accidents in
crease. Careless railroad operation
kills more men than a great battle.
Negligent factory equipment mains
thousands. The work Of caring for
babies lives is commendable. Should
not the lives Of the fathers and moth
ers be equally safeguarded?

Judge Stevens rendered a decision
last week that life insurance COM
panies which withdrew from the
state must make reports TO the state
insurance department as to their
policy business in Wisconsin. From
twelve to fifteen companies came
under this ruling and if it is upheld
by the supreme court the state will
recover thousands of dollars as pen
alt1es, the law providing that pen
atty of $500 shall be paid for each
month company fails TO file re-

year on her cbarita bic and penal in
situations Can she not afford to
spend few hundred thousands for
parks which will diminish crime
and poverty?
The little city Of Madison has ex
pended considerably more than ST.
900, 1000 to beautify her surroundings
since the creation Of the Madison
Park and Pleasure Drive association
Will any one who has visited Mad1-
son say that she has not got more
than value received? Cannot Wis
consin do what Madison has done?
True, large portion IF the money
which the Madison association has
spent has been received from pri-
vate sources but what is to prevent
the state from receiving private
benefciaries also, once the move
ment is started?
The state of New Hampshire re
ceives over 100000 every year
from tourists. The Dells Of the
Wisconsin in 1905 brought $50, 900
to the state on the same source.
How much more should they bring
when once they are properly parked
and controlled by the state9 The
profits from four such state parks
as proposed would far exceed their
cost in a very few years.
But the state must act and act
now. Already private owners have
occupied almost entirely many of
the beauty spots in the state. The
shores of Lake Geneva, for instance,
are already almost entirely in the
hands of wealthy men. Many of
the small lakes around Milwaukee
are being slowly but surely sur
rounded by summer homes. Of the
location of power monopoly at the
Dells we all know. AS Mr.. Nolen
well says: when the Wisconsin
Power Co. finishes it's dam at Kill
bourn and the level of the water is
raised, the present generation in
Wisconsin, acting through the legis-
lature, will have covered forever
more of the essential natural beauty
of the state than future generations
can recreate."
We must not blame monopolies
and private individuals for wanting
what is desirable. We must blame
ourselves collectively, as citizens of
the great state of Wisconsin, for
watching our birthright disappear
ing before our eyes with out uttering
one single word of protest or stir
ring the legislature up sufficiently
to protect our interest.
1t is too late to get back that
which we, through our stupidity,
have lost forever, but it is not too
late to protect ourselves from fur
ther loss. Devils lake, the Dells
and the Door and Grant county
parks must be obtained by the state
for the state or they will be obtain
ed by private individuals for private
individuals, and the state will be
shut out from it's own entirely.
There is no time to be lost. The
land can be purchased now with
less difficulty than it can at any
time in the future. And it can be
purchased cheaper.
Write to your member in the leg
islature. Get others to write. Help
to create public sentiment which
shall force the legislature to action.
Interest yourself in the project in
every possible way, for it concerns
you vitality.
And, above all else DO 1T NOW.

Chemicals in the street.

Recently, in New York, carboys of
acid fell from a dray and were
smashed on the pavement. The re-
leased liquids mingled, and the chem
ical result of their union was a flame
which flooded the street. The throngs
of shoppers fed in terror. Water was
powerless against the blaze; but luck
lily sand was at hand, and with this
the firemen mastered the situation

Memory Training.

If men only realized how great an
asset in life is retentive memory
they would take care to see that their
children's were properly trained. The
simplest method consists in learning
every day a few lines by heart. None
of our faculties can be trained so east
~ as that of memory.

Greek subscribers to the Gunnison
Telephone line was held and resolu-

a twenty four hours service. If this
is not secured it was the unanimous
opinion Of the subscribers that the
phones would be ordered out and
measures taken to organize an in
dependent company.
There was no kick about the
charge, only that the number Of
subscribers was too limited and
instead Of being able to communi-
cate with the majority Of Gunnison
county ranchmen barely a bakers 5
dozen could be called up. The
