Keeping Cows In the City.

Hudson True Republican: About
one family in forty in the city keeps a
cow. In these days of fine lawns and
sanitary requirements this is a special
privilege. The one family ought to do
everything possible to keep from dis
comoding the other thirty nine who
buy their milk outside of the city.
When fences were kept and there was
no parking the keeping of cows made
little difference but it is not so now.
The keeping of fine residences, fine
lawns and those surroundings that
make a city attractive is but a WEAKNESS
of the flesh and exhaustion of patience
if cows are allowed to run at large.
So long as the council encourages lot
owners to expend time and money TO
keep up parking it should also do as
much in the way of protecting their
work. There is now an ordinance pre-
venting cows from running at large
But this is capable of too liberal a con-
Struction. When cows are left in the
care of children who loiter a block or
two behind them while going through
the streets they are practically at large
and in violation of the ordinances.
With the improvement of so many
streets lines viii have to be more close
ly drawn. Those who are allowed TO

Tariff is a Moral Issue

September Century: The question
we wish to raise is one which may
fairly be addressed primarily to all
patriotic and well meaning citizens
who may be direct benefciaries of the
tariff. 1t would be idle to deny that, as
regards the equality of men before law
making bodies, there is throughout the
country an arrant skepticism. Ask
any ten men-yOung in idealism or old
in eXperienCe-whati is the strongest in
tluence to obtain indulgence, whether
by favoritism or evasion, and nine will
answer pull We are not saying
that these are right. Honest legislators
can tell Of many instances in which
forbidden and abhorrent forces" have
failed to overcome causes thrice armed
in justice. But the cynicism is there
and it has grown with the last half
century TO an alarming extent.
From what chief source has come this
perYasive distrust of the square deal
in the making and the administration of
law-most peryasive in regard to state
legislatures and municipalities-which
has caused the finger of scorn to be
pointed at us? Does any candid ad-
yocate of high tariff fail to see that
it is due in large part to the object les
son which that system presents of inc
quality before the law, special priv
lege? This may or may not be in re

RESIDENT TAFT

When Mr.. Taft took office as presi-
dent last March he had in high degree
the good will Of the people of the whole
country. Men of all parties spOntane
Ously acknowledged him as their chief
magistrate. All Republicans were
joyful; while some Of them were jubi
liant. Those who were simply joyful,
rejOiced because Of their love for Taft;
while those who were jubilant, Jubilated
because they not only liked the new ad-
ministration but they also disliked the
administration which had just departed
The beginning was prOpitiOus; but the
end cannot be foretold. Many signs in
dictate that President Taft is losing his
hold on the people. His actual trial as
chief executive has not been greatly to
his honor. The tariff barons have ex-
plotted the country as never before, and
he has officially approved their articles
Of exploitation. He is making speeches
throughout the country; and many in
his own party are saying good strong
words in contradiction.
Here is a strong rebuke from a Dem
Ocratic standpoint:
Hudson True Republican: The first
speech Of President Taft in his swing
around the circle was at Winona. 1t
was expected that he would there 50 ex
plain his position on the tariff as to in
part appease the west for the failure Of
republican administration backed by
a republican congress to reduce the
tariff. But he attempted nothing Of the
kind. On the other hand surprised his
friends by defending Aldrich, Cannon
and their trust legislation. He defend
ed Mr. Tawney, the only member of
either house Of Congress from Mime
sofa to vote for the Aldrich bill The
speech showed a complete surrender to
the money power. But it showed a
good deal more Here is a sentence of
it.
1T would have left the Republican party in a
condition of decentralization.
Since when has an executive become
the president of one party instead of the
people of the United States2 Does the
Constitution provide for an officer who
will sacrifice the interests Of the whole
people for the men who have cOntribut-
ed money to corrupt the voters of the
party! The people voted last fall for a
reduction of the tariff, but the president
will not carry out their wishes because
it would demOralize the party. Are not
the interests of the people and of the
Republican party the same? If not why
not elect president of the people in
stead of a president of the Republican
party2 The country will be glad to
know where it stands from the high
authority of the president. When laws
are maintained that divert the earnings
into the hands of few dozen people
who use them to carry elections, cor
rupt legislation and foster an insolent
and contemplate money power it is to
keep the Republican party from "a con
dition Of decentralization" When PEG
pie are struggling to make their meager
earnings meet the almost doubled price
of living it is to keep the Republican
party shined up ready for action.
What willthe people have to be bunkoed
with when the Republican party is no

count is whether all the class prosperity
of great magnitude due to the tariff,
followed as it has been by a wake Of
lesser prosperity to others, is worth
what it has cost in helping to take the
heart out of the popular faith in repub
lican institutions The enormous in
crease of wealth is spoken of as though
it were an unmixed good. But has not
the very spread and increase of fortunes
made up skeptics of the higher things in
politics? Shakespeare read one great
temptation of life Alright when he
wrote:
Great preys make true men thieves.
Wealth has noble uses, but it has also
hynotising power which stills the con-
science and makes US Oblivious to the
fact that the greatest product of a poll
teal system is not money, but high
minded, self respecting and altruistic
men.

turn for political support. The time
has long gone by when legislation in
congress can be Influenced directly by
money. Every scandal makes a new
moral record, and the Credit MobiIier
exposure has it use in quickening the
sensitiveness of legislators. There is no
difference between the personal honesty
Of protectionist and that of any other
representative, and some of the highest
types in both houses are men who are
convinced that skies would fall with
the abandonment of this time honOred
policy. But the inequality is there and
inequality is denial of democracy and
lie to our professions. 1t has brought
US dangerously near to political hypoc
risy in pretending to be something we
are not. and this by consequence has
made us almost a nation Of cynics,

Hospital for Rabies at State
University.

The Wisconsin state board of health
and vital statistics is to have the direc
ton of Pasteur Institute to be estab
lished at the University of Wisconsin in
conjunction with the State Hygienic
Laboratory ut the College of Agricul
ture. DR.. M. P. Ravenel head of the
laboratory, will have charge of the
work and treatment will be given
persons threatened with hydrophobia.
Hitherto any Wisconsin citizen in
danger of the disease has had to go to
Chicago or to Minneapolis for treatment,
since only there (and in North Carolina)
are there established such Institutes
Now this state will be able, through
the work at the university, to care for
its own patients.
The importance Of the institute is
recognized when it is understood that
the treatment is practically infallible,
statistics having been collected which
prove that, in cases where persons blJ
ten by mad dogs or other animals hay
ing the disease have applied the Pas
teur treatment promptly, cure was
certain.
The laboratory will be opened for the
new work in a few weeks, and treat
ment will be free to INDECENT persons,
though small sum will be charged
those who are able to pay, in order to
make the institute as nearly as possible
self supporting.

Starting High, Immediate
Futures Jump to
$1.25 Ia.
THREE CENTS HIGHER
THAN GATES CORNER
Advance Is Due to Efforts
Of Shorts to Cover
After the Bulls.

CHICAGO, April May wheat
started soaring this morning and at
the opening jumped to $1.24 IA. BY
leaps and bounds it reached a cent
higher, which is 33-4 cents higher
than The highest point reached in the
Gates corner of 1905.
The sudden advance is due to eff
forts of the shorts to cover, following
the disposition on the part of the
bull campaigners, headed by James
Patten, TO take profits in May and July
wheat. 1t is believed that after the
opening Pat en- sold nearly half a mil
lion bushels of May wheat al fancy
prices. This hammered May down and
Is minutes after the opening it had
dropped to 1:24 3-8. 1t was one of the
iveliest sessions ever seen here.
: Throughout the first hour pandemo-
MUM reigned and the trading was
enormous. The Patten interests sold
heavily all morning, selling none below
$124 Meanwhile July wheat reached
s1.105-S.
At noon Patten declared he was no.
trying to opera e corner He said
today's market was revealed from nat
ural conditions not speculative. Pat
ems profits this morning are estimated
anywhere between 100000 and $780,
