our BuaIer Bows strks Twslve

At the. high school room last Thurs
day evening, before a regrettably small
bur nevertheless enthusiastic audience,
our Third Infantry band gave the best
concert in the history of that organiza-
ton. The case and brilliancy with
which they rendered the overature from
"Semiramida, which is one of the
most popular and difficult compositions
of its kind, was revelation to even
those who are familiar with the work
of the band. The same can be said of
Echoes from the Metropolitan Opera
House. Lovers of rich minor har-
mony received deliciously wierd treat
in Moonlight on the Nile. Sam Liilis,
always a superb baritone soloist, will
hardly again play "Glorioso" in more
masterful style, it was that perfect
Not one of the remaining six numbers
but merits more than special mention.
Such a classical program, and such a
splendid rendition of it, would receive
more than passing notice in the large
cities, an innovation to places of
our size. Our appreciation and sincere
commentator is due Bandmaster Brown
and his excellent musical body for the
progress they are making, and the
recognition accorded our city through
their attainments.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS ARE QUIET


Viroqua spring politics are rather
quieter than usual In fact there is no
politics in municipal affair, because, for
one reason, there are no nominating
caucuses or conventions, each aspirant
appearing on the ticket by petition.
A petition is being circulated to bring
the license question to a vote with a
view of later circulating a counter-re-
monstrance and gaining the consent of
those property owner residing within
the district prescribed by law wherein
it is intended to locate saloons.

served four years in that capacity, is to
stand for reelection on petition Of many
electors. Thomas o. Mork has been
placed in nomination by call of large
body of citizens. The issue, il any, is
for more rigid enforcement of the ex-
else laws.
For city clerk George H. Clarke is a
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Clarke
has made an acceptable official. w. II.
Norris is also to be candidate for the
same place. 1t is highly essential that
the clerk should be situated where he
can be found without inconvenience to
those having business with that de-
partment of city government.
For treasurer there is no opposition
to the reelection of Amund Belland,
who is now serving his first term, and
has made an exemplary treasurer and
given the important work his careful
and intelligent attention.
Joseph Omundson is the only candi-
date for assessor. He has repeatedly
served the people acceptably in that
capacity.

EDITORIAL
SAP FRIDAY NJ coNcErSs

Pandemonium reigned in the House
of Representatives on Friday and Sat
urday last when the great struggle was
on for change of house rules. which
have been in force without change dur
ing many years under both republican
and democratic control. A few men,
bers elected as republicans united with
the solid democratic minority to strip
Speaker Cannon of his power, alleging
that he is tyrant in enforcing the
rules. This combination carried the
day whereupon the speaker announced
that according to the vote taken the
combine constituted majority and was
entitled to have presiding officer in
harmony with that majority, throwing
down the challenge for them to unseat
him. A democrat made a motion to
that effect, nine of the so-called in
surgents voting with the. solid demo-
cratic minority to unseat a republican
speaker, four of The votes being cast
by members of the Wisconsin delega-
ton who were elected as republicans.
If Speaker Cannon is the tyrant and OBJ
structionist these men charge him with
being, then they who voted to strip him
of his power displayed weakness and
not the courage of their convictions
when they voted to retain him as pre-
siding officer.
Democrats in and out of congress are
laughing in their sleeves that they have
been able to divide and disrupt the re-
publican majority in the house, and as
sert with much courage that they will be
able to defeat the wholesome legislation
pledged by President Taft and his adj
ministration.

TWO PLATFORMS ANp Two cADmATEs

In this issue of the CENSOR is given
the announcement of Senator w. H.
Barker of Sparta, as a candidate for
the republican nomination for governor.
In his statement Mr.. Barker recites
many things he would attempt to have
enacted into law and corrections MADE
in other directions. But his real slogan
is county option for control of the liquor
question.
The latest addition to the platform OF
Captain William Mitchell Lewis, Racine
candidate for gubernatorial nomination,
is also given publicity, and his new
plank is a positive declaration on the
subject of county option, taking adj
vanced ground in that respect.
We commend a careful reading Of
these documents. The people are en-.

their SURFACES stand on question Of
