Milwaukee Free Press; During the

been giving fearsome expression to
their wrath about the high cost of liv-
ing necessities they have spent SIS, 600, =

gems. over 500. 900. GOO for automobiles,

cur readers 1t hurts our fingers to
write the sums.
Now the statistics show that the
bulk of these billions Tor the Injuries
of life have not been spent by our plu-
tocgats, but by the middle classes, that
have done the loudest waiIing about the
cost OF table and other necessities.
After one has looked at these hyp-
aotic figures for a while, and really

significance as an investment in the
delights of living, when one bears in
mind that they represent only a small
portion of the whole American invest

wonder whether James J. Hill was not

much the high cost of living as the cost

CATARRHAL DISEASES or
SUMMER TIMF

Most people think that catarrh does
not prevail in the summer time. Ca
tarrh is generally regarded as winter
disease.
It certainly Is true that catarrh of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs il
more prevalent during the winter time.
But it is also true that catarrh of the
stomach, bowels and kidneys is more
prevalent during the summer time
Thus we have catarrhal diseases of sum
mer, and catarrhal diseases of winter.
1t is probably true that the mortality
from catarrhal diseases is greater in the
winter time than in the summer. But
yet there is an alarming number of peo-
pie who die annually from those ca
tarrhal affections that are peculiar to
summer.
Catarrh is a chronic congested infiam-
nation of mucous membrane. The
mucous membrane of the stomach is
just as liable to catarrh as the mucous
membrane of the throat, the lungs, the
bronchial tubes. Catarrh of the stom-
ach is the same kind of disease as
eatarrh .; the throat and lungs. So, also,
IS catarrh Of the bowels. Catarrh of the
kidneys. Catarrh of all the other in
ternal organs.
Catarrhal diseases peculiar to summer
are, catarrh of the stomach, sometimes
called gastritis catarrh of the small
intestines, sometimes called enteritis ;
catarrh of the colon, sometimes called
colitis. These diseases are very prev
alent during the summer, especially IL
the air be hot and humid.
We regard Peruna as an excellent
remedy for these forms of internal ca
tarrh. DIR. Hartman's practice, which
covered a period of many years, In
which ne used chiefly Peruna for all
bowel diseases, is conflrmatory of this
fact, from the standpoint of profess
sional test.
The multitude of letters that we re-
ceive from all parts of the United States,
in which the effect of Peruna is de-
scribed upon catarrhal affections Of the
internal organs, would make it appear
that Peruna is certainly one of the
greatest remedies for this class of dis
eases, if not indeed the very greatest.
In collie and cramps, attacks of in
digestion, distentlon of the bowels by
gas, diarrhea, constipation, Perupa lie
relied upon by thousands of people and
its use as a household remedy gains q
stronger hold upon the people as time
goes on.

In recent years, under the primary
election rule, democrats have concerned
themselves to such an extent in the
fractional republican row in Wisconsin
that they have been pretty nearly wIp-
ed Off the political map. This interfer-
ence in other peoples preserves now
looms up before them as a troublesome
ghost from the political wilderness
and they cry out mercifully for
help. By the provisions of a law pass
ed at the last session Of the legislature,
parties and individuals must receive, at
the primary election, at least twenty
! per cent. Of the vote cast for the party
at the previous election in order to Sc
cure a place on the official ballot at the
general election. This law is giving
democracy great uneasiness. So much
so, in fact, that the chairman of the
state central committee has run up the
following alarm signal:
Democrats, attention angerl
wisconsin democracy cOnfrOnts a
crisis. The new 20 per cent. law, Chap
ter 477, Laws of 1909, prevents any
party nominee from being placed on
the party ticket unless there shall have
cast 20 per cent. Of the party vote in
the election district at the primaries.
UNLESS 20 per cent. Of the demo
cratic vote is cast at the primary, there
will be no democratic ticket in Novem.
Der. This attempt 10 disenfranchise
the minority party in this state should
cause every democrat to rally to the
support of his party.
THE state central committee urgent
ly requests all democrats to vote at the
primary election September 9Th, for
democratic candidates for state, con-
gressional, county and legislative of
fees. Remember the date, September
6, 1910. Remember one X is not
enough. Vote FOR each democratic can
didate for each Office down the primary
ticket.
This law is right from a party stand
point, except that it ought to absolute
" prohibit the members of one party
from clandestinely making the nomi-
nations for an opposition party. This
is manifest defect in our primary
statute, and one Of number that should
be corrected.

URGED TO DEFINE HIS POSITION

Professor Rasmus b. Anderson, late
minister to Denmark and the editor of
Amerika, Norwegian paper published
at Madison, who is also a neighbor of
Senator LaFoIlette, has written to the
senator, and given publicity to the let
ter asking Mr. LaFolette to publicly
state his position on the issue of county
option, now prominent before the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin. The CENSOR enter
tains 10 doubt that frank and positive
reply will be speedily made, else the
senator would have no right to be
judged by his past record for fearless
ness on all principles and issues that
affect the people The CENSOR will
take pleasure in giving Senator La Fol-
lette $ reply AS soon as made. The same
members of the legislature who will
be expected to re-elect him to the
United States senate, will pass upon
the question of county option, and no
man can hope to be elected to repre-
sent the people in our legislative halls
who fails to speak out on both of these
matters. And thus the voter and citi-
zen has the same claim and the same
right to be advised OF the position
of their federal senator that they will
require Of their representatives in the
legislature, who must represent them
in the selection of senator as well as
to pass laws demanded by them.

If the good old republican state of

ANNOUNCEMENT

To THE PUBLIC: AS promised in my
previous announcement to the voters
of Vernon county, | herewith submit
brief statement of my position on some
of the more important public questions
now before the people of this state.
consider the denomination and reelection of
Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilette to the United States
Senate absolutely necessary to progressive poll
tics in state and nation. His championship Of the
cause of all the people. both as governor Of this
state and now as United States Senator has
thoroughly demonstrated his undoubted capacity
for leadership in the pending struggle for real
service
am further in favor of the ratification of the
amendment to the constitution of the United
States providing for an income tax.
favor the election of United States Senators
by direct vote of the people. and. if elected, shall
exert my best efforts to secure favorable action
by our legislature to bring this matter before
congress.
The improvement of public highways under the
supervision of the state. with such Judicious dis
tribution of state appropriations for that pur-
pose, should receive general support Of all the
people.
The agitation for the preservation of natural
resources, such IS water power, forests and win
erals should not be lost sight of at the hands Of the
peoples servants, and this is especially true TO
members Of the legislature in this state
] iavor the adoption of county option law,
with the proyiso that. before taking effect, such
law shall be submitted TO vote of the people Of
the state. Such referendum seems to me en-
tirely proper, when it concerns a question upon
which the people are sharply divided as in this
matter.
hope that | have submitted to the
people of the county candid and fair
statement of my views. Other ques-
tons of great Importance will, no
doubt, come up before the legislature,
and as to each and all of such questions
| can promise only this: that | shall use
all my efforts and ability to represent
the interests of the whole people. I
have no other interests to represent,
and to that end pledge my candidacy.
Respectfully,

Republican primaries were conduct
ed in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma
during the past week, and as between
the so-called ''insurgent" and "stand-
pat" factions the former had the better
of the game in Kansas and Nebraska,
nominating more than a majority of
the candidates for representative in
congress, while Oklahoma gave every
thing to the 'standpats. The bitter
ness of factionalism and individual
politics is so intense that the prospects
are many republican nominees will go
down in defeat at the election in the
states mentioned.

The Ship on the Horizon.
Yesterday morning she had been
awakened by an earthquake. To-day
it was the call of voice, his voice.
There was none other on the island.
1t came to her through the open door
way. BY turning her head she could
see the bright expanse of sand and
sea and sky beyond. Yet no figure
darkened the entrance He stood out
of sight, but within hearing, calling her
name. She rose to her feet, gathered
ture of plated grass, thrust the knife
within rude sheath she had made for
it, and stepped out upon the sand. She
had an instinct that something I'M
usual had happened, for never before
had he ventured to come to the cave
and thus awaken her. The change in
their relations might have moved him
to this extraordinary course, yet she
did not believe that 1t had She found

had upon his shoulder, "to keep you
from kissing me good morning?"
Evidently whatever it was, it was
not, she thought for happy moment,
as he swept her to his breast at once.
That had been his first instinct, that
had been his burning desire the night
long, to have her in his arms was
his constant thought; but he was new
to lovers ways, unused to loves Gus
toms, and, besides, he had sworn that
the advances must come from her.
But once the advance was made, the
signal was displayed, the permission
was given, he more than did his part
Pressing back her head he fed his full
upon her lips. No, not that, he could
never do that, but he kissed her long,
and for a moment forgot what he
had to tell. 1t was she who first re-
membered.

marx the way. She had acquired the
faculty of swimming beneath the sur.
race with her eyes open and the dis
lance was short. She dove into it con.
fdently and presently emerged in the
lagoon outside. It was the one place
on the island, so far as she had dis.

able to verify her knowledge-which

lieved She had no less trust in her
man than she had before, but the
knowledge gave her a strange comfort.
When she met him that night she
did not impart her secret to him.
Whatever happened now, she had a
place of refuge, she realized. and she
was glad. 1t was gorgeous golden
night in the South Pacific. They wan
dered and played and loved together
under the tropic moon and stars in
the gem-like island. Yet when they
parted each was unaccountably sad :;
she because of what she must tell him
on the morrow, and he because of
what he had begun to fancy he must
hear.
There were more things to happen
on that morrow than either she in
her philosophy or he in his inexperi-
ence could have dreamed of when they
kissed again at parting and together
said good night.
