The Chicago Inter Ocean afTirms that
the cost of the Yates primary election
campaign in Illinois was 100000 and of
the Deneen campaign $4,000 to $780,
900. 1t calls attention TO the circum-
stance that in Wisconsin Senator
Stephenson spent but $107, 900 in his
hard-fought primary campaign" and
suggests that he got off cheap, as ''the
direct primary is the most wildly ex-
trayagant and spendthrift proposition
ever taken in hand for the government
of a free people" It's interesting to
see how these things look from the out
side. A great many people on the in
side have arrived at conclusions not ma
terially different from those of the Inter
Ocean.

The government of Newfoundland has
approved the treaty signed by Secretary
Root and the British ambassador rela-
tive to the fishing question, on the
ground that the Americans have made
certain satisfactory concessions. One
of these is agreement to submit to The
Hague tribunal the question of the right
of the Americans to fish in the inlets of
the west coast. The Americans have
heretofore contended that the treaty of
1918 gave them this right, but the New
foundlanders have continually denied
this. Should the Hague tribunal decide
in favor of the Observation-Disclosures the
important frozen fish industry, in which
scores Of New England vessels are en-
gagged, will have to be abandoned. This
being the case, the decision of the
tribunal will be of great Importance TO
consumers of fish as we'll as to the fish
ermen.

The Norwegian Storthing having
granted an appropriation of $4,000 for
the fitting out of DIR. Nansen's small
but stanch Arctic exploring ship, Capt
Roald Amundsen will Immediately pre-
pare for his proposed drift across the
polar circle from the vicinity of Ben
ring strait. As the Captain intends to
make his start from the Pacific ocean it
will be at least a year before he can
enter the ice for the drift, and by that
time word will have been receip ed as
to the achievements of Capt Peary,
who will make dash for the pole from
Grant Land during the coming spring
and summer. Should Peary succeed,
Capt. Amundsen will probably continue
on his course, as he has mapped out a
large amount of work that will be of
value to scientists.

Consul Frederick NJ. Ryder reports
from Rimouski, that scientific obserya-

maintenance of winter navigation on the
st. Lawrence river if ice conditions are
found to warrant the use of ice break

lake traffic at tide-water and the pro

4 South Shrewsbury ice yachtsman is
credited with the invention of an auto

the necessity of carrying the weight of

Il. V. Powderly says there are ''bums"
in the bread-line. Undoubtedly there are.
The average bum" has no prejudice
that would keep him out of the bread-line
if he was hungry. But Mr.. Powderly
does not deny that the bread-line con-
tains deserving men who want work and
have tried to procure it, but could not
find it. They only take a place in the
line, he says, when hunger drives them
to it. The hope is strong that business
will rapidly improve, so that all who are
willing to work can avoid the alternative
of hunger or the bread-line.

The Mexican railroad is treating ties
with oil at the rate of $500 a day for
the purpose of increasing their durabil-
ity. About three gallons of oil is forced
into the ties to a depth of about two
inches, by pressure, and this oiled outer
shell serves as seal that prevents
decay at the heart of the tie This
experiment is worthy of general at
tention, as anything that will prolong the
life of railroad ties will reduce the drain
upon forests, whose products can be
used for other purposes.

ing one or the other to go into
the primary fight. Both are able
men and should not stand in the
others way. Congressman E. A.
Morse, of Amigo, has always been
considered mere pawn on the
political chess board of the Tenth
District, and there is a strong feel

OVER
CONGRESSMAN
interesting Views Regarding the
Tenth District Situation.

NTo the Editor of The Journal: Con-
gresham Morse came right into the
very lair of the octopus the other
night to give an account of his stew
ardship. He GRATED and demonstrate,
Conservation of our natural resources
is easy for him, but very many con-
stituents wonder why he didn't de-
vote the time to a tariff talk.
Mr.. Morse may not have the honor
of succeeding himself as representa-
tive in congress from this district.
1t is we'll known that A. l.. Kreutzer
is in training for something. Some
say it is for congress, some say for
governor and it has been mooted right
here that he is the dark horse candi-
date for the United States senate.
Senator Kreutzer is the noblest Ro-
man in the bailiwick and he has the
sheckels, he is lawyer, leading
member of the Wisconsin Valley
Trust Co., and he ''mixes" with a
Chesterfieldian grace that compels
admiration Some talk is being in
dulged in that M. B. Rosenberg is
slated for congress and it has been
limited that Mr.. Bird is the man.
They are all members of the same
law firm and it is just possible the
triumvate has not yet decided who
are to be put to the front.
There are wonderful changes in
the political completion of the Tenth
congressional district, however, and
it is just possible that some democrat
may be elected when the time comes.
There are a good many who remem-
Der the great run made by Tom
Lynch some years ago. 1t is said
that enemies of Congressman Morse
at Grand Rapids are plotting against
him. Senator Brazeau and Assem-
blyman Hambrecht are said to be
in this movement and it has even
been limited that Conner of Marsh
field might be brought forward Even
Ogden, editor of the Amigo Journal
has been suspected of congressional
aspirations. 1t seems to be a fact
that Morse will certainly have a fight
on his hands. Party lines are some
what smashed even in this section
of the state and in the absence of
slush fund it is difficult to tell
what may happen.

School children of Fall River,
Massachusetts, have been warned by
means of printed slips in all their
textbooks, by order of the board of
health, not to spit, not to moisten
their fingers to turn leaves or count
money, not to suck pencils or hold
money in the mouth, and not to
swap candy, gum, half-eaten food,
whistles, bean-blowers, or anything
that is put in the mouth. If the young
folks in all parts of the country
should obey these rules, there would
be fewer cases of tonsillitis and di-
phtheria.

AS result Of the Prize Contest
that we have been carrying on for the
past four weeks for the purpose Of
increasing our subscription list to the
Daily and Weekly Reporter, thus
far has been very satisfactory and will
add several hundred new subscribers
to these publications. We appre-
ciate and are thankful for the
successful efforts put forth by the
several contestants, and for the favor
able results that we have obtained
thereby, We have been anxious to
have added five or six hundred pay
ing subscribers for our Daily Reporter
and the result of this contest has
been very gratifying. The increase
on the Weekly Reporter has been
even greater in number than the
Daily due principally to the fact that
the subscription price is smaller, and
the field for increase is greater We
take this opportunity of thanking
both our old and new subscribers for
their patronage to either publication.
The Wood County Reporter is the
oldest publication in Wood County,
and the Daily Reporter is the only
daily publication in the county, and
we have 10 contemplation, improve
ments that we hope to carry out
in both publications in the near
future.
