HAMMERSTEIN WILL
 DEMAND GUARANTEE

New York. February S.-Oscar Hammer stein declared this afternoon that the ac- tion of the Metropolitan company in an- nouncing it would give opera in Phila- delphia next season without a guarantee of $500 performance would not alter his purpose to demand a guarantee for the Manhattan company.
 T am compelled to ask guarantee be- cause of inability to sustain financial loss. I support nearly 800 resident Philadel- phians. My opera house has created a new phase to the social life in Phila- delphia. It has conferred innumerable benefits, musically, upon the population at large
 Who pays me for the great losses l have sustained this year? I will not. and cannot maintain such losses another sea- son.

Never did the greedy corporate inter-
ests and INSCRIPTIONS politicians receive
a more unmerciful scoring than was
administered by eX-forester Clifford
Pinchot in his speech at St. Paul last
Saturday evening In this connection
it is well to remember that Pinchot
cannot be charged with being dema-
gogue and Office seeker, besmirching
the great business interests for his
own advancement, the charge so fire.
quently brought against those who
advocate reform of governmental me-
thods. He is a man of wealth, who
never sought office for remuneration;
who accepted the office of forester be-
cause of his love for forestry and enthu-
siasm for forest conservation; who in
his official work came into contact with
the landgrabber; who from his eXper-
fence with the despoilers of the public
domain, came to study the whole field
of corruption in politics, as a result of
which he now takes the same ground
as the most advanced Insurgents.
Following are some of his pointed OBJ
servations:
Because the special interests are in
politics, we as nation have lost conf
dence in Congress. 1t does not apply,
of course, to the men who really repre-
sent their constituents and who are
making so fine fight for the conserva-
ton of self-government. AS soon as
these men have won their battle and
consolidated their victory, confidence
in Congress will return.
THE brand of politics served out to
us by the professional politician has
long been composed largely of hot
meals for the interests and hot air for
the people.
1.-The black shadow of party REGULAR
ty as the supreme test in public affairs
has passed away from the public mind.
1t is great deliverance.
1.-The motto in every primary in
every election should be his; No
watch dog of the interests need apply.
The overshadowing question before
the American people today is this:
Shall the nation govern itself or shall
the interests run this country"
Doesn't sound much like the talk
handed out by the bunch of disgruntled,
self-styled patriots at Milwaukee last
week, does it?

The court house insurance episode,
of which we had something to say a
few weeks ago, is now closed, and in a
way that should be satisfactory to the
county. This insurance, which some
members of the committee seemed to
try to land for man who has been a
chronic beneficiary of good things from
the county, was finally secured at a
price S240 cheaper than that party was
to furnish it for; or reduction of A
per cent. Miller & Foster were the
lucky bidders.
We have here an illustration of the
fact that one man of the right kind, in
the right place, at the right time,
counts for a great deal. Had it not
been for the watchfulness of G. B.
Goocher this insurance would have gone
in the old-fashioned way as personal
gift at old-time prices.
Considerable mystery shrouds the
affair. In the absence of action by the
board, insurance seems naturally to be-
long to the building and grounds COM
mittee, and one would naturally expect
the matter to be taken up at a COM
mittee meeting. Instead, certain of
the members privately and separately
signed an agreement to give the insur-
ance to Worden & McGill, at the old
rates, apparently no questions asked.
We believe that some of the members
signing this agreement did so innocent
ly, thinking that it was the customary
way of doing. Some of them however
know too much about insurance mat
ters to be thought so innocent; they
also know too much about parliament
tary procedure to be excused for not
bringing the matter before the whole
committee before entering into an
agreement.

Reports indicate that no great amount
of enthusiasm was shown in North Wis
consin counties in the selection of men
to attend the Milwaukee "gabfest "
The following extracts from local papers
indicate the amount of popular force
behind the movement:
If Rhinelander methods of the stall
wart bunch shall guide us, are we to call
it representative government? Last
Saturday evening so-called caucus was
held in the city hall. None of the re-
publican committeeman were aware of
the meeting, not even the chairman of
the republican county committee was
asked to this so called republican coun-
ty caucus.-Rhinelander New North.
At a mass meeting of the Stalwarts
of the county held at Barron, last Sat-
urday, at which the attendance was
variously estimated at from four to six
delegates were selected to attend the
Stalwart conference in Milwaukee. -

full about some of them, seem to have
Amigo Republican.
The Stanley Republican, standpatter
to the backbone, one of the Old Guard
that would die rather than surrender,
sent up the following heartrending wall
because the anti-Lafollette movement
failed to evoke any red-fire enthusiasm
in Chinnewa county.
The indifference manifest by alleged
Republicans at the county seat regard
ing creditable representation for this
county at the state convention in Mil
waukee this week evoked widespread
comment and the comment was not
favorable to the county.
What of Rusk County in this fateful
hour of peril? What did she do to help
stem the tide of radicalism? At this
terrible moment, when the ship of
state is trembling from bow to stern
from the dread thunderbolts of insur-
gency, and the waves of ignorant popu-
lar discomfort, what did Rusk County
do to brace the jib-booms or pour oil on
troubled waters? Where was the

tics at the critical moment? Echo an
swers, where? Journal doesn't say

Charles R. Heike, president of the
American Sugar Refining Co., digni-
fled, white-haired captain of finance, .
has been found guilty of conspiracy tc
defraud the government and may be
sentenced to two years Imprisonment.
The crime consisted in defrauding the
government out of more than 81, 600, 00C
and two years Imprisonment doesn't
seem very "cruel or unusual punish
ment." Of course, it wouldn't do to be
harsh with such enterprising gentlemen.

the case of Americans returning from
visits abroad. In fearful accents it
pleads for the innocent traveller who,
unmindful of tariff regulations, has a
few thousand dollars worth of souven-
irs concealed in his baggage. 1t says:
Imports intended to be sold cannot
be too rigidly made to pay duty under
the law. To make individuals pay a
heavy tax on what they have bought
and paid for and do not mean to sell is
an obvious hardship"
Isn't that rich? The man who can
not afford to go to Europe to do his
shopping must pay to the importer the
increased price due to the tariff, but
the millionaire who summers in Europe
should be allowed to bring home what
ever he pleases free of duty.
The particular occasion of the Wis
consin's sympathetic outbreath is the
fact that couple of wealthy Kenosha
women were "held up" by the customs
officials. They really had nothing that
should have been taxed, only some ex-
pensive gowns and few trifies like a
$4,000 necklace, $3.50 brooch, etc. 1t
was positively shame to interfere
with them. If it had been case of a
man with dozen cotton handkerchiefs
in his grip, which he might possibly sell,
of course it would be different. He
ought to be closely looked after, but
these society stars, b-r-r-r-r!

of making his mark with the aeroplane.
Barney Oldfield, the daredevil driver,
with his 200-h. p. Benz car, with which
he made mile in &c seconds, Kischler

and possibly Ray Harroun, the winner
of the Speedway competitions at Indian
apolis, are to compete for world auto
records. There are also to be notable
motorcycle races.
The great feature of the meet, how
ever, will be a race between Cartiss,
with his aeroplane, Oldfeld with his
Benz car, and Minor Heir. the fastest
harness horse in the world, all going at

the auto on mile track, and Curtiss
