Let the Facts Be Known.

Springfield, (Mass.,) Republican: 1t
should not escape notice that the Wis
consin republican delegation in Con-
gress, at the suggestion of Senator La
Toilette, has adopted a resolution in
structing Representative Davidson, the
Wisconsin member of the republican
congressional campaign committee, to
present a demand in writing at the next
meeting of that committee for detailed
statement of the receipts and expendi
ture of the committee during the
last campaign. This action is to be
welcomed by all citizens. The call for
reasonable publicity in campaign out
lays, which is more and more generally
being required by law, should not fail
to reach and affect the congressional
committees. There has long been a
reasonable curiosity as to the money
received by this republican committee,
and also as to its possible bearing upon
tariff legislation. Among those who
most earnestly demand this accounting
are republicans who believe that the
tariff favors were secured by some who
gave largely TO the congressional cam
paign commission. Let the country
have the facts The men from Wis
consin are barking up the right tree,
and ought to secure their game.

A Rich Bargain for the Fortunate
Purchaser
A BIG BARGAIN.

There are many readers of the Demo
GRAFT so situated that they would do we'll
to buy a good farm at right price.
Are you one of them? If you are let us
interest you: We are offering good,
rich farm of 293 acres, in an ideal loca-
ton, at price that is sure to make the
fortunate purchaser a great deal Of
money. That fortunate purchaser will
take the farm some of these winter
days and good many others will see,
when it is too late, that they made a
great mistake in not availing themselves
Of the opportunity.
We refer to the Frank Day farm in
Waldwick. 1t lies between two farms
which recently sold at 800 per acre. 1t
is good rich land and right at hand at a
good market 1t has upon it one Of the
best farm houses in Iowa county. The
price asked is only $66 per acre.
The rate of taxation in this assess
ment district is extremely low, and al
together the farm is very desirable
property.
You may say that farm lands are
now very much higher in price than
they were few years ago. But farm
products are very much higher in pro-
portion; and they will stay high and go
higher.
Look into this proposition 1t may
not be on the market only a few weeks,
or perhaps few days.

State University Treats Many
Rabies Patients.

Thirty five hydrophobia patients from
Is towns in II counties of the state have
been treated at the state university in
the past two months, at the new Pasteur
Institute.
The towns from which the patients
have come include Lake Geneva, Green
bush, Plymouth, Sheboygan Falls, De-
Pere, Pulcifer, Sawyer, Bridgeport,
Underhin, Oneida, Brillion, Gillett,
Marinette, Menasha. Shiocton, and
Grover.
The urgent need of establishing an
institute for treating Wisconsin patients
was shown by the fact that men and
5S4 animals in the state died last year
of hydrophobia, the disease being proved
in AZ localities. The loss of live stock
included 400 cattle, 100 hogs, Sc horses,
and % sheep, according to a report of
the state veterinarian.
Although the appropriation by the
legislature for the work is not enough
to make possible the plan of giving the
treatment entirely free, the charge is
nominal, being but $50 for each patient,
compared to 500 at all other institutes.
The treatment costs the institute S21,
and the 81 left is put in a fund for
pauper patients.

College Men Are Religious.

Armed with great many statistics
to bear out his assertions, President
Charles F. Thwing of Western Reserve
university has entered the lists against
the clerical and other critics who de-
clare that the modern American univer-
sity is hotbed of atheism.
He defends the religion Of the colleges
and traces the changes in the form of
the college mems religion that have led
outside observers to believe it is dying
out
The religion of the modern college
student is less noisy and emotional and
more practical and effective than that
of forty years ago. Prof. Thwing con-
cludes in his analysis. The twentieth
century student does not waste much
nervous energy in remorse over imagi-
nary or real sins, the writer declares,
but tries TO do what he can 70 help
other people along.

PREJUDICE.

Curious to state, prejudice keeps
us out of more good things than does
lack of opportunity.
We often pass by an article of merit
because the price is low. The same
article at double the price would find
us eager to try it. K C Baking Pow
der sells for cne-third the price of the
Baking Powders controlled by the
Trust"
Yet K G is guaranteed the Best
Baking Powder at any price.
The ladies of this city who have
seen what K c Baking Powder will do
prefer it to any other. They are only
too glad to save their money and get
a better article. It's the difference
between Trust" prices and those Of
fair, honest competition.
A Is ounce can of K c Baking
Powder for % cents,-and your money
returned if you don't like it better
