MUCH EXCITEMENT.

Last evening at about 7 O'Clock
there was quite an excitement in our
city over fire alarm. 1t was the
first time that the new whistle at the
pumping station had been blown.
One was recently placed there to be
blown whenever an alarm is sent in,
so that water turned on in any part
of the city can be shut off. The
whistle sounds so much like that OF
every factory in the city that there
was regular stampede to the various
institutions and there is no use talk.
ing we believe Wausau has among its
business men, some of the best
sprinters in the state. The fire (ol
the smoke, rather proved to be at the
home of Misses Dorothy and Lids
Wheeler. 1t seems that they were
| boiling some meat on the gas range
| for their pet dog. On leaving kitch
Ell, the gas was turned off, so it was
supposed, and both young ladies went
to the sitting room where they were
engaged for some time in talking
over business matters with con
| tractor who came in. When thel
| discovered smoke in the room, the,
rushed to the back part of the hous'
| and found the rooms there and VI
stairs filled to sutfocation. An alarm
was turned in and the fire depart
ment very quickly responded. Door
and windows were thrown open ant
while no fire was found still it tool
fully half an hour to get the smok
out. The conclusion arrived at wa
that gas get had been left on, partl.
at least, and the water had boiled GU
and the heat burned the meat and
badly smoked up house was the result
The damage from smoke is quit,
considerable.

BountItuI Harvests

The report of the department of
/ agriculture this week shows that a
great harvest is to be gathered this
summer IN this country, the average
crop on July first being largely in
excess OF that of year ago, and the
country may face the future with
equanimity and pleasure. When
crops are good, the people are well
OF; for the farmer spends his money
for manufactures and products of all
kinds When he receives his money for
his own produce. The prosperity of
the agriculturist always insures COM
Tort for the masses, even though there
may not be great boom as was ex-
perlenced in 1867. Mills will be
kept busy, railroads will extend their
lines, and many new Industries will
be launched during the coming year.
The report was the best news this
country has heard in some months
Wausau Record Herald
Read this again: "When crops are
good, the people are well off for the
farmer spends his money for manu-
features and products of all kinds
when he receives his money for his
own produce. The prosperity of the
agriculturist always insures comfort
for the masses, etc.
Then in another column the R-H
says:
"Some of the hoWlers for lower
tariff should bear in mind that every
time the tariff is lowered sufficiently
to put an American mill out of bust
ness, a mill in a foreign country is
certain TO be built.
Don't the R.-H. know that Ameri-
can genius, American invention,
American enterprise, good crops, and
the fact that 9O,OO0OO0 of people here
in this land, that ought to be free,
can scoop the world in any effort to
produce anything, to make the best
that can be made, to make the most
in the shortest time, to make the
most out of the least, to make the
most perfect labor saving machinery
and to make the greatest amount of
product in the shortest time is an es-
tablished fact and is well known to
anybody?
The trade devil that shuts up
American factories is the trust, the
child of the tariff, the progeny of
combination in restraint of trade.
''Some of the howlers for lower tar
if" are CumminS, Dolliver, Beyer-
| idge, Nelson, La Toilette, republi-
cans in the best of standing, who pay
their dues and have taken the third
degree without vince.
Lackies and f1unkies may marvel at
| the ignorance of the common herd"
but the common herd" is son just
| the same" The common herd'
knows when it has been betrayed by
the Cannons and the Aldriches and is
now waiting to see if the betrayal is
to be o. K'd by the suave and smil-
| people part of the time and all of
| the people some of the time, but you
can't fool all of them all the time"
This insolent prate about putting
American mills out of business, fools
no one now unless it be the knave
who gives expression to it.

The Tariff Bill.

AS was expected, the Aldrich-Payne
tariff bill has passed the senate>by a
vote of 45 to "a, and the bill is now in
the hands of conference committee,
and when the committee finishes its
work the bill will have to go back to
the two houses. 1t is a cinch that
there will be no lowering OF the duties
as proposed by the senate, instead,
judging from republican legislation in
the past, the rates will be raised if
anything is done. Only one democrat
was listed with the republicans at the
final vote in the senate, and that was
McEnery of Indiana. Stephenson
showed himself to be standpatter
by voting for the bill. Ten republi-
cans voted against the passage of the
bill, Senators Beveridge, Bristow,
Brown, Burkett, Clapp, Crawford,
Cummins, Dolliver, LaFollette and
Nelson.
The bill, it is thought, will be dis
posed of about July goth. Thus far,
it seems that President Taft has done
nothing to back up his campaign
promises to the people. He said the
republican party would revise the
tariff downward, but Aldrich and the
trusts have decreed otherwise, and
unless something is done pretty quick
to redeem his promises, President
Taft will go on record as being moth
ing less than figure head in his ad-
ministTation.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Milwau-
kee Sentinel says that Congressman
Morse will be a candidate for Congress
next year. Many will ask: "Who is
Morse, anyway9" Well, his home is
at Amigo. Because there was no re-
publican who cared for the office of
congressman of this district, four
years ago, he got on the toboggan
and slide brought him into the
Office. He has been about as dead to
the public as he was before that cleo
tioD. The same correspondent says
that NJ. B. Rosenberg will also be a
candidate. Well if Marvin is a cam
didate, and is elected to the position,
the people of the country will know
that this district is on the map,
which factvery few know at this time.

RECENTLY the question of citizen
ship in this country was ruled upon
by Attorney General Gilbert, of this

q years of age born in the United
States, or in territory under its
jurisdiction, though his parents be of
foreign birth and uDnaturalized is en-
titled to all the rights of citizenship
of this country if he SO elects. Even
children of Chinese parents may avail
themselves of this right, though I'M

Congress Should Guard Our
Water Power.

-
One thing has entered into the ma
tional mind never to depart-the idea
that the earth belongs to the people.
The men back of the Roosevelt econ
servation movement" are responsible
for that, Forestry, reclamation,
waterway improvement-al these
have for their Justification the great
idea that this planet on which we
live belongs TO all of us, not some of
us and that the nation rs a whole is
interested in the matter of the vast
ing or conservation of our coal and
oil and gas and forests and soil and
streams.
All the country demonstrated when
Secretary Ballinger restored to public
entry the water power lands with
drawn from entry by his predecessor.
President Taft was given to under
stand by the protest of the nation
that if single water power SO re-
stored to entry should turn up in the
hands of the new water power trust
his administration would be disgraced.
Either his own better information, or
the power of public opinion, or the,
president, stopped Ballinger. A new
policy is being adopted with reference
to the power sites.
The former Withdrawals were made
as requested by the reclamation SER
vice. When that department found
stream with power sites in the public
domain, it recommended that the
lands along it be withdrawn from
public entry 50 that the power trust
could not have it entered, and thus
despoil the people of the mechanical
energy which we shall need in the
future for light and heat and pow er.
When Ballinger came into office he
procured from the reclamation service
requests for the restoration of these
lands, and they were restored. Balm
ger did not withdraw the same lands
he had restored; but he turned to the
geological survey, which has records
of many water powers, and asked that
service 10 designate the actual lands
the possession7pf which would control
the power sites, and when these deSig-
nations are made the sites are with
drawn. Better yet, where the specific
sites are not known, lands all along
streams believed to afford power are
withdrawn while the geological survey
works out the profits. This is practi-
cally return to the policy of Garfield,
with the added accuracy lent by the
work of the geological survey. Follow
ed out conscientiously it will do every
thing that the Garfield policy did,
and more. For it covers many streams
the Garfield Withdrawals did not cover,
while leaving open to entry much
land not affording power sites, which
the blanket Withdrawals of Mr.. Gar
field necessarily covered.
The people viii watch the new policy
with interest. And they should re-
member that Ballinger's Withdrawals
are sin aid of contemplated legisla-
tion." That is, the secretary of the |
interior has withdrawn these lands TO |
give congress q chance TO pass laws |
permanently governing the disposal |
of power sites If congress does not |
act, he may possibly restore them TO |
entry. Let the nation not go TO sleep. |
Let it be as active in constructive |
directions now as a few weeks ago ii |
was in protest. Let it din into the |
ears OF its congressman and senators
