only such persons whose political
affiliations were we'll known were
invited to attend. This informa-
ton is obtained from sources OF
unquestioned reliability and the
evidence can be furnished if
necessary.
Here is another illustration of
unfair tactics: A member from
Madison county received a per-
sonal letter the other day making
an urgent appeal to him to vote
for the radical candidate. The
writer of the letter went on to
say: You know | have never
supported this man for any office,
but his friends here make a
strong demand, and declare that
unless l help him out they will
knife me when Irun for sheriff. .
But it makes all the difference
in the world whose OK is being
gored. The faction that has used
| threats, coercion and intimidation
| since the beginning of the fight,
| and, failing to achieve victory
thereby, has no moral or political
right to whimper when the tide
of kattle turns against them
Politics is a game of give anc
take, and every person who plays
it ought to be willing to take his
medicine like man. Jackson

MADNESS THAT HAD METHOD
Simple subterfuge Of Actor Found for
Him Needed Haven Of
Refuge.

| A theatrical manager had a STOCK
company at Los Angeles. Business
was bad and no money coming in. He
hadn't paid salary for months, and
| had managed to keep his company to
gether by advertising in San Francis
co and elsewhere holding out all sorts
| of promises.
The actors came, stayed until all
their money was gone, and then left
The manager made shift to keep his
thespians contented by taking them
on little excursions about the city
when they were not working. One
day he announced: This afternoon.
ladies and gentlemen, we shall visit
the insane asylum, Q most interesting
place."
They went and were shown through.
Seated under tree in the garden was
a man who, over and over again. was
counting his fingers and muttering:
'Eeny-meeny- ny-miny-moe-- eeny -

Who is this?" said the manager.

ago. He sits there all day and does

We are giving him the best of atten-

The manager looked at the count

manager. 1T resembles my former
leading man, Simpson"
The man kept counting his fingers.
Really said the manager 1T is
most extraordinary resemblance"
Meantime The other actors and ac-
tresses and the attendant had gone on.

manager, "are you not Simpson, the

counting his fingers "If they don't

Look Closely At The Dollar Bill

A new counterfeit one "simo.
leon" silver certificate is in circu.
lation that will deceive anyone
except a specialist. If any
periods ere missing on bills,
don't accept them. The new
bill made les appearance a week
ago in Chicago. The imitation
is so cleverly worked out that the
secret service department con-
siders it a dangerous bill.
Edward J. McHugh of the
secret service department is
eager that the public be warned
against accepting the bogus bills.
The counterfeit is supposed to be
one of the series of 1899 check
letter &C." face plate number
4801; back plate number 2598.
1t has the signature OF w. T.
Vernon, register of the treasury;
Charles H. Treat, treasurer of
the United States, and portraits
of Lincoln and Grant. 1t is
numbered R927S6452. The
counterfeit apparently is printed
from retouched photo mechanical
plates on good quality bond
paper, with ink lines to initiate
the silk fibre. Careful inspection
of the counterfeit shows that the
portraits of Lincoln and Grant
are poor. A white patch repre-
sents Grants nose. The period
after Treat. the dot over the Il"
in United" under the treas
urer's signature, after the st"
and the period after Vernon"
in the signature of the register
are omitted in the bogus certifi-
cate. The small word United"
in the border Of the note to the
1ignt of Grants portrait is
spelled 'Usited. "

comments, for your considera
ton and action, the following
subjects:
/. The establishment anC
maintenance of one or two more
experimental stations, additional
to the two mentioned in a
previous message.
The advent of the boil weevil
makes it necessary to utilize all
practical opportunities for in
struction and encoura cement in
cattle raising and other forms of
crop diversification.
2. The creation of a bureau of
labor statistics and for its main
tenance.
Encouragement should be
given to every form of agricul-
tural and industrial development,
especially pertaining to the
interest and welfare of those up
on whom they are dependent for
labor.
8. Establishment and main
tenance of a state board Of err
balming, so as to provide for the
better protection for life and
health and the prevention of the
spread of contagious disease.
4. To so amend section 4543

such examinations as you may
make, and according to such
judgment as you may be able to
apply to the cases, who are the
proper men to be recommended
to the Director for the work
which is to furnish tt e
foundation of the census that is
ultimately to be completed.
Now. | trust that you are
showing a lot of human nature
in taking these places. When
people say that the Government
should be run on business prin-
ciples, always reply; Yes, so
far as bookkeeping is concerned,
that is true; but so far as employ
ment Of human energy is con-
cerned, it cannot be true, because
the government does rot pay
enough to make it worth while
for competent men to do what is
expected That is the truth of
it. If we did not have enthusi-
asm and sentiment and love of
country and desire to appear
right among our fellow men, the
government would never succeed
on business principles alone. 1t
takes something more. 1t takes
willingness for men to serve
their country in the places to
which they are called. Your
places are important. / know
we cannot pay you, but ! hope
you may find your compensation
in something better. When the
census has been completed and
Director Durand has succeeded
| in making it the hest one that
has ever been takem yoa may be
glad to feel that your part IN Il
Wa- worth while.

So far very little work has been
done by the Legislature. The
bill appropriating $3,000.000 to
the public schools has been pas
sed by the House by a vote of IS
to 7. This is for a period of two
years and is a half million more
than former appropriations.

selling of liquor to minors and the exis-
tence of houses of i'll fame are matters
of general public knowledge, and there
doesn't appear to be any determined eff
fort on the part of police officers to
prosecute on account of them, it seems
quite natural to infer something aside
from sincere desire to perform official
duty when such an arrest is made.
There was no showing that Carson
evinced any intent to make use of the
weapon, and its possession was mere
technical offense against city ordin-
ance. Nothing appears to show that
the possession of the weapon was any
where se::r as menacing to the public
welfarl as the carrying of bottles of
booze by miners.
However, as Chief Culver asserts
that there was no motive of revenge in
his mind. we may as well accept such
statement as true. We have no abso-
lutte means of knowing whether the ar
rest was prompted by the voice of re-
venge, the still, small voice of con-
science, or some other voice.

WHERE THE PAUPERS COME FROM

Rusk County has a poor farm for
which it paid $4,000, and on which sew
eral thousand dollars have since been
spent in making improvements. 1t
maintains superintendent of poor,
hiring considerable help besides to OPP
crate the farm, in addition to which a
large appropriation is required to pay
the expenses of supporting paupers.
Where do the paupers come from?
Investigation discloses the fact that
with but one possible exception, all of
the pauners who have ever been inmates
of the poor farm came there as direct
result of booze. Not a single instance,
except the one referred to, can be
pointed out where the paupers be-
came such through accident, sickness,
misfortune, or any cause except the
spending of their means for drink.
The statement is frequently made by
temperance speakers that some ninety
per cent of the pauperism is due to liq-
uor, and the statement is always en-
phatically denied by the saloon element.
Without any extensive inquiry into the
matter, we can easily determine the
fact as regards our own county, which
is the vital point with us. There is nc
getting around the fact that in this
county pauperism would be practically
eliminated if it were not for the liquor
traffic.

In the epoch making fight that is be-
ing waged on Cannonism, one of the
leading figures is |. L. Lenroot, of this
district. He was member of the COM
mittee of insurgents who conferred
with similar committee of regulars
in an endeavor to unravel the tangle.
He is recognized as the leading parlia-
mentarian among the insurgents, and
one of the leaders in the House. Re-
calling the statement made by our local
contemporary that if Lenroot went to
Congress he would be only "a minnow
among whales, it seems proper to re-
mark that he appears to be pretty
lively minnow.
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1910-03-24

The insurgents who voted to take
from Cannon the power to appoint the
committee on rules, and afterward
voted against deposing him as speaker,
defend their action on the ground that
they are fighting Cannonism and not
Cannon, that their objections are aimed
at the arbitrary power placed in the
speakers hands and not at Cannon the
man. The distinction seems a rather
fine one. Essentially the same rules
have existed under Reed, Crisp and
Henderson, but there was no general
complaint of unfair and arbitrary action.
The rules themselves are chargeable
to Reed rather than Cannon, but it is
Cannon who first VIGOROUSLY used the
arbitrary power given to control the
actions of the House and stife legisla-
ton which the speaker opposed. How,
then, can you separate Cannonism from
Cannon? 1t is worthy of note that
Lenroot, Cooper and Nelson, from this
state, did not draw the fine distinction,
but voted in favor of deposing Cannon
as well as in favor of revising the rules.

PERSONAL LIBERTY

Wam Jennings Bryan in The CommoneD
The liquor dealers, recognizing that
their very obvious pecuniary interest
would lessen the weight Of any argu-
ment which they might publicly adj
vance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting to
represent those who use liquor. Many
well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt to
lessen the evils of intemperance is a
''fanatical attack" on personal liber-
ty.
It is time the phrase personal liber-
ty' were defined.
What is meant by personal liberty?''
Does it mean that person has a
right to drink in any quantity, at any
time, and in any place, no matter what
injury he may inf1ict upon others? Ii
not, with whom rests the right to fix
limitations?
A drunken man is a menace to the
lives and property of those about him;
have his neighbors no right to protect
themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and children,
and he may finally make his family and
himself charge upon society; has So
ciety no right to protect itself?
The saloon is next of kin to the broth
ell and the gambling hall; it is rem
devious for the criminal element and
the willing tool of the corrupt politician;
has not the body polite right to pro-
tect itself from the decentralization
which the saloon works?
The right to drink does not necessarily
include the right to demand the estab-
lishment of a saloon. The right te
drink is sufficiently protected by any
arrangement that permits the reason
able use of liquor under reasonable con-
ditions; and it must be remembered
that the right to drink, like any other
right, can be forfeited. Nothing is
more sacred than a right to life, anc
yet one may forfeit his right to life il
he uses it in such way as to threaten
the life of another. So, the man who
drinks to excess may forfeit the right
to drink; even the moderate drinkel
may forfeit the right to drink in mod
GRAFTON if, not content with reasonable
regulation, he insists that liquor shall
be sold under conditions that constitute
menace to the home and the state
The man who desires to drink moder
ately ought to join with those who seek
to reduce the evils of drink to the low
est point, instead of allying himself
with those who ignore the evils of in
temperance, and resist every effort put
forth for the protection of society.
