UTILITY OF EDUCATION

u Ill L Of EDUO "A lON.
The New York Evening Post has
long stood for what is best in American
life, particularly as to education. The
Post says:
Perhaps the clearest idea of the
value of higher education to state can
be gotten from very brief summary
of the contributions of the University Of
Wisconsin to the economic development
of that state"
"First, Professor Babcock, by invent
ing his milk test, saved the farmers
$500, 900 worth of cream each year that
had been thrown away; enabled them
to breed their stock scientifically SO
that the average value is now So per
head more than Southern stock; taught
them improved dairying processes
which increased the price of their dairy
products from % per cent to 100 per
cent, and increased the total value of
of the states dairy products to $50, 900,
600 per year.
Then the cheese industry was put on
scientific basis by the invention of
the curd test and the casein test and by
the discovery of galactase and the
the organization of the cold storage
process of cheese ripening, by which
several hundred thousands of dollars
extra is annually added to Wisconsin s
wealth. The horse raising and poultry
industries are now being put on the
same sort of scientific basis.
"The farmers have been taught to
prevent oat and wheat smut by soaking
the seed in formaldehyde, and thus
saved an annual loss of from $4,000, 900
to 100000. A new variety of oats
has been developed and distributed
which increases the states annual crop
100000 bushels. A special seed corn
has been bred and distributed which
has added $1,000, 900 bushels per year to
the annual production, and newer and
much better corn is just now ready to
distribute.
Sugar beet culture has been taught
and million dollar crop already
gathered. The potato, wheat, barley,
and tobacco crops and the fruit and
berry industries have been Investigated
and improved, and great problems Of
drainage, irrigation, and soil fertility
worked on with rich returns.
1.-THE entire financial returns each
year to that state from the university
agricultural investigation and teaching
alone are simply incalculable, but
enough measurable concrete cases are
known to show that this department
alone returns to the state each year ten
to twenty times the entire amount spent
on the whole university"

GOULD FOLLY GO
FARTHER?

The editor of the Dodgeville Chronicle
carries the folly of the protective tariff
theory to the extreme. His claim that
import duties advances to the farmers
of Iowa county the prices of eggs,
cheese and cattle is preposterous. If
this were true, who would pay the
freight on the enormous quantities of
the articles which are shipped abroad
to free trade markets.
The Chronicle exclaims, High tariff
has made Iowa county what it is.'
Now we know the source of all our
blessings.
The truth is the Payne Afdrich tariff
law enriches the trust monopolies at the
expense of the farmers and other real
producers on the one hand and the ulti
mate consumers on the other hand. Of
this fact the people of the whole country
are coming into full knowledge; and
as result the high takers are all on the
defensive. They have bad cause and
feel that the tide of public sentiment is
against them.
With tariff revision downward, so as
to relieve them from paying tribute to
trusts, the farmers would come into
their own.

.Man You Have to See. .


We are in receipt of a copy of the
Ottumwa, (Iowa) Courier of March
12. tits a special edition of rs pages
in seven parts, and is devoted to boom
ing Ottumwa. It is wonderful mum.
Der and speaks volumes for the enter
prise of the business men of that city
The Courier press prints, cuts, folds
and turns out complete $4,000 papers
from s to "a pages, per hour. Under
the caption, MAN You Have to See, ;
the paper contains the following com
plimentary mention of former Mineral
Point boy:
u. N. Weidenfeller, secretary of the
Commercial association, is the mar
that carries out the orders Of the ex
ecutive committee, and is the man who
is always on deck All that comes to
the association for action of any kind
comes through the hands of John
Weidenfeller, and he has the boost
spirit as habit. Before Mr.. Weiden
Teller was selected for the post of sec
rotary, he proved his worth as a bust
ness man who was interested in seeing
Ottumwa grow, by lending his best
efforts through the channels of business
as a clothier, miller and politically as
an alderman from the Fifth ward.
There is little about Ottumwa's needs
that is not known by Secretary Weiden
Teller"

Remedy Them

Advice Concerning Stomach
troubles and How to
Remedy Them.
Do not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and complica-
lions. An eminent doctor once said
that ninety five per cent of all the ills
of the human body have their origin in
a disordered stomach.
A physician who made speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep-
STA. after years of study perfected the
formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall DYSPEPSIA
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known to the relief
OF acute indigestion and chronic dyspep-
STA. Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inflamed membranes of
the stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids known
to medicine. The relief they afford is
almost immediate. Their use with
persistency and regularity for a short
time brings about cessation of the
pains caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. AS evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you to try them at our
risk. If they do not give you entire
satisfaction, we will return you the
money you paid us for them, without
question or formality. They come in
three sizes, prices IS cents, so cents and
$1.OO Remember you can obtain them
only at our store,-The Rexall Store.

have thrown away moderation in the
spending of money.
THE people of the United States in
herited from its founders a wholesome
tradition against debt, which is only
now disappearing from the conduct Of
national affairs. This, together with
the enormous resources at our command
and the consequent ability of our peo-
pie to pay increasing taxes without dis
tress, has kept our national debt at a
moderate figure Until the time of the
Spanish war and the Panama canal, it
decreased. 1t now tends to rise, con-
cealed under the polite fiction of certifi-
Gates and Indebtedness to cover treasury
deficits. If the advocates of large bond
issues for all manner of internal i'm
provements should carry their point, if
that resource is not definitely restricted
to the emergency of war, we will be in
the condition of Europe, where the
motto of every chancellory now seems
to be, after us the deluge.'
"The phenomenal increase of public
expenditure has already produced
plentiful crop of public ills. 1t is one
of the causes of the increase in prices
now disturbing the people" the speaker
said. "Foodstuffs cost from 10 to 70
per cent more than three years ago.
1.-The man who attempts to place the
entire responsibility for these changes
upon one single act or influence, lacks
either fairness or intelligence"
Mr.. Hill ascribed the tariff as one of
the principal contributary causes, and
continued:
Combinations which are actually in
restraint of trade, which have monopol-
lied their field and are either controlled
by common secret management or
secret agreement to maintain exorbitant
charges are partly responsible. If the
operations of these had been followed
with the same interest by the public
and checked with the same rigor by
state and nation that are displayed by
agitation against railroads. The coun
try would not be so stupefied as it is to-
day by great hardship or SO bewilder
ed about the remedy"

THURSDAY. MARCH "a. 1910.
GOV ERNM ENT BY THE
pr OBJ

Great history was made at Washing
ton last week. The Insurgent Re-
publicans and the Democrats together
overthrow absOlutism. BY a vote of
1911 to 1856 they adopted resolution
proposed by Representative Norris of
Nebraska, the provisions of which are
as follows:
There shall be committee on rules,
elected by the house (hitherto the COM
mittee of five, like all other house
committees, has been appointed by the
speaker consisting of 10 members, six
of whom shall be members of the
majority party and four of whom shall
be members of the minority. The
speaker shall not be member of the
committee and the committee shall elect
its own chairman from it's own mem
bers. Resolved. further, that within 10
days after the adoption of this resolu
ton there shall be an election Of this
committee and Immediately upon its
election the present committee Of rules
shall be dissolved"
There has been too much acquies-
cence in the thought that this great
representative system of ours had be-
come simply government by party.
Now there is hope of government by
the people.
The adoption of this resolution is a
great victory in the fight for represent
alive government 1t is all the greater
victory because it is not partisan.
At the beginning of the present SEES
sion, when reformation of the rules
was defeated by combination of
machine Republicans and protection
Democrats, Champ Clark the Demo
cratic leader told Speaker Cannon that
that unholy coalition would prove his
undoing. Mr.. Clarks words have come
true.

The Republican bosses who joyfully
accepted the aid of protection Demo
Gratis in organizing the house now rail
bitterly against the Republican Insur
gents who united with the Democrats
to overturn the arbitrary rulings of the
chair.

Eliminates Delinauents,

HARDWOOD M. Bacon, superintendent
of division of classifi cation of the post
office department, gives out the following
information on the postal ruling with
reference to expired subscriptions to
newspapers:
There seems to be lingering doubt
in the minds of some publishers that
the rules promulgated by the depart
ment will not be enforced, but Mr..
Bacon's talk was to the effect that while
the department did not desire to infiict
any undue hardship on newspapers. at
the same time publishers must comply
with the departments regulation.
Seventeen publishers have been served
with citations to appear in Washington,
and the privilege of second class pound
rates has been withdrawn so far from
two papers. The ruling provides that
subscription to weekly papers, 10
months in arrears, will be denied the
pound rates, and is for the purpose of
cutting off those publishers who pad
their subscription lists for the sake of
obtaining so called subscribers at either
nominal rate, or no price at ALL
In plain words, the ruling means that
subscribers to weekly papers must pay
the subscription price before or at the
end of the year covering the subscrip-
ton period.
A special agent has been investigating
in Iowa, and in all probability papers
in Wisconsin will be next investigated
For year or more the publishers of
The Democrat have been preparing to
meet requirements Of the postal depart
ment. To this end, and for the collec-
ton of accounts, we recently sent out
statements. All who have not already
responded are requested to do SO at
their very earliest convenience. We
must put our subscription list in order
for inspection by a representative of
the postal department.
