WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, April 9, 100!


The dullness in the market still con-
tinues and is liable to remain so fol
some time to come. Not only is the
buying nearly closed for the season,
but the movement in old goods is at a
standstill. Manufacturers and jobbers
are calling for but little of the cured
goods as yet. 1t is currently reported
that John Soulman of GAINESVILLE has
sold about 500 cases of '06 and '07,
and one or two small deals are about
ready to be closed in this city.
Warehouse handling is nearing the
end, as next week will see some of the
largest houses closes for the season.
The warm spell the past few days
induced few growers to prepare the
beds, but the wiser ones will wait for
settled weather.
The shipments out of storage reach
TIC cases and 6 carloads of bundle
goods the past week. Since last re-
port 81 car loads have been received.

WHATEvER the outcome oil th

WHATEVER the outcome of the pres
ent investigation at Madison into the
primary expenses, it will probably clear
the atmosphere and settle doubts re-
garding the abuses in the game war
dens' department. These men being
under the civil service regulations will
probably in the future stick to the work
of looking after the fish and game in
the state and let the political game take
care of itself. Henry Overlook, game
warden during La Follette's admins
tration, testified that in 1904 he was or
dered by Gov. La Toilette to take
number of game wardens into Grant
county. where Senator Blaine was a
candidate for congress, and put them
to work against Babcock. He further
testified that he did SO and that the
state paid them for their per diem nd
expenses, after their respective nills
had been approved by Gov. La Fe ?.
The game warden scandal is not
to the people of Wisconsin. Is Sc
charges have been made and published
time and again, but this IS the first in
stance that one of tire chief offenders
has admitted under oath that the
charges were true ard that Gov. La
Toilette not only knew what was being
done, but directed the work himself,
and afterwards personally approved the
bills.

NEW YORK, March 81, 1909.

Some Wisconsin changed hands last
week, and there has been a little move
ment in force-sweated Connecticut Ha-
vana Seed. Six hundred bales of Flor
ida were disposed of by one house.
Sumatra. There has been some ac-
tivity in the local market. Tobacco
from the sample bales that arrived
Monday, of the new Sumatra, has been
cased, weighed and examined, and
found very desirable. The extremely
high prices that obtain are the only
drawback to this tobacco's ready ac-
ceptance.
Havana. Leading houses report that
a brisk business has been done here
during the past week. Prices are firm,
and certain grades that are badly need
ed are not to be had.-Leaf.

A Washington dispatch says the first
protest to be received by the senate
against the Philippine tariff feature Of
the Payne tariff bill came from Wiscon-
sin in the form of memorials to Senator
La Toilette, from sundry citizens of
Vernon, Rock, Dane, Sauk and Craw-
ford counties, demonstrating against
the importation free of duty of tobacco
and cigars from the Philippine Islands
or other insular possessions OF the
United States.

SAYS IMMIGRANTS
ARE BEST AMERICANS
DR.. D. BIaustein Declares That Men

Love Uncle Sam by
Contrast

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-"The immigrant
is a better American than the Amer
lean himself. He has learned by ex-
perience in his native land to appre-
ciate the freedom and advantages of
the United States. He can understand
the free life which the American takes
merely as an individual"
DIR. David Blaustein. superintendent
Of the Chicago Hebrew institute,
speaking on America and the Immi-
grant" thus expressed himself yes
terday at a meeting of the Chicago cir
Gle of the Butterfly association. His
opinion has the weight of years of per-
sonal contact with the immigration
problem in New York.
THE immigrant comes to this coun-
try from a land of despotism and op-
preston and finds America willing to
allow him to indulge a broad view,
freedom-ln short, new life," said DR..
Blaustein. He is the dreamer, the
idealist, and loves America by con-
trast, He finds opportunity to develop
and adopts the American customs, ira
ditions and spirit with an eagerness
that is absolutely wanting in the

privileges as his natural right"

From a college with a registration OF

way, between Third and Fourth
streets to a university with dozen
buildings, 200 faculty members and an
enrollment of 1900 students is Tar cry

Mrs Mary Hamilton Savage, wlte OF OF
Joseph Savage, a veteran or the ClVll
War and a pioneer OF Los AuSeleS'
living now at 1855 East Thirty-slXth
street recalled the early days of the
University Yesterday as she watched
the young people filing to the big build
ing of the College of Liberal Arts on
Wesley avenue to matriculate for
years work, beginning there on
Thursday.
Mrs. Savage was the organizer of
the department Of music and elocutlon
and had in 1876, her hrst year. ABOUT
fifteen pupils This was the second
wear in the history of the college, which
had been organized by Rev. and Mrs

Registration in the colleges of law
medicine, fine arts, liberal arts, oratory
and music really was opened yesterday.
President Bovard was unable to make
a definite report on the probable num-
ber of registrations that will be made
this term, as the books will be open
this week in the college of liberal arts
and for several days more in other
colleges.
Recitations and lectures in the col
lege of medicine do not begin until next
week. The college of dentistry opens
October 5.
In the college of liberal arts Piesi-
dent Bovard reports an unusually large
number of men matriculates. He takes
this as an encouraging sign, as hereto
fore the general tendency among the
boy graduates of high schools has been
to seek the great state universities.

turning to the good old days when
they used copybooks and learned to

spit balls at teachers specs.
Seeing what was coming, Superln-
tendent Moore crawled in with a pos
tive assurance that the action he re
quested was only a formal vote, and
this was given him grudgingly. But If
ever julius Caesar comes before the
board again he will get his.

president as being considerably in
