Eliminates Delinquents.

HARDWOOD M. Bacon, superintendent
of division of classification 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 inflict
any undue hardship ON newspapers. at
the same time publishers must comply
with the department. 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rates has been withdrawn so far from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 a 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 representative of
the postal department.

PUBLIC TAXES FOR PUBLIC
LIBRARIES.

The Democrat has long held that
public libraries ought to be supported
in the manner in which public schools
are supported, = that is to say, by local
taxes and state aid.
In the New York Libraries, quar-
terly devoted to the interests of libra
ries, Mr.. j. G. Dana gives to follow
reasons why the free library should be
supported by public tax:
"Such tax puts the library on the
right basis as public institution. The
purpose Of the library is the same as
that of the school, public education, the
enlargement and enrichment Of the in
tellectual life Of the community, and it
should therefore be supported on the
same grounds and by the same methods
as the school.
1.-The library supported by local taxa
ton ceases to be charity, contributed
by the few to the many, and becomes
the right and property of all. When 1
use a library supported by private gifts,
/ am accepting a favor; when [ use
library supported by public tax, l am
using what is mine by right. The tax
thus promotes feeling of independence
and self respect in the library's patrons.
Taxation is the easiest and fairest
way to raise the needed money. $500
raised by entertainments, subscriptions
sales, ETC., means great burden of
labor, care and expense to few, and
usually to net that sum, very much
larger sum must be expended, while $500
spread on the tax rolls would hardly be
felt even by the largest taxpayer.
ut adds dignity to the library and in
creases the respect in which it is held.
To be made each year an object of
charity for which private subscriptions
are solicited and rummage sales held
tends to brings it into contempt and
greatly lowers it's influence in the com
munity.
"a stated tax, yielding a known and
fixed income. enables the trustees to
pursue consistent and stable plan for
library development, such as is imposs
ible where the income is dependent on
fuctuating impulse or effort.
There is no village tax levied from
which people can get so large return
for so little money"

FOR CATARRH
Medicine Free in Every Case
Where it Fails to Relieve.

Medicine Free In Every Case
Where it Fails to Relieve.
Neglect or pessimism, we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to
contend with when applied to the loss
or recovery of health. Practically every
case of consumption might have been
cured if hope had been maintained and
proper treatment had been restored to
at the first symptom of the disease.
Until the advanced stage is reached
consumption is durable. Catarrh is
responsible, we believe, for many cases
of consumption. 1t is about catarrh we
want to talk to you today, incidentally
consumption, since the two are so
closely allied.
We have a medicine made from a
prescription of one of the most success
full catarrh specialists known. We
believe it is positively without an equal.
We are SO satisfied that we will supply
the medicine free in every instance
where it is used according to directions
for reasonable length of time, should
it fail to give satisfaction in every
particular. We want every one to try
this medicine at our risk. There are no
conditions attached to our offer. We
put the user under no obligation to us
whatever.
The medicine we want you to try is
Rexall Mucu Tone. 1t is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. 1t is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, tones up the
mucous cells, and brings about a
condition of health and strength that
tends to prevent the germ Of consump-
ton from getting start. Besides this,
Rexall Mucu- Tone is a wonderful
appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder.
Its good effects are often felt from the
very first dose. 1t is one of the largest
and most satisfactory selling medicines
that we have ever had anything to do
with
We know SO much of the great good
that it has done that we personally back
it up with our reputation and money,
which fact should be ample guarantee
to satisfy anybody. Rexall Mucu- Tone
comes in two sizes, so cents and $1.O0.
We urge you to try it. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Mineral
Point only at our store,-The Rexall
Store. Ivey's Pharmacy

PROGRESSIVE EDITORS.

The Chippewa Falls Independent re-
Gently contained the following truthful
words in regard to Wisconsin's great
Independent daily newspaper:
1.-The Milwaukee Journal, one of the
most progressive newspapers in the
northwest, is making splendid fight
for the plain people and if its advise
was more generally followed, the polit-
ical conditions in the state and nation
would be better"
ut is but just to add to the above,
that The Independent is edited by
Thomas J. Cunningham, who during
the time that he was Secretary of State
discharged the duties of the office with
honor to himself and credit to the peo-
pie who elected him. AS editor of The
Independent Mr.. Cunningham is doing
his full share in the cause of good gov
eminent.
The Milwaukee Journal and The
Chippewa Falls Independent are good
newspapers and are leaders in the fight
for progressive policies of government

PRICES FOR FAR M
PRODUC CTS.

1t is foreign demand, and not tariff
taxation, that raises the prices of agri-
cultural products to the farmers. This
shown conclusively by the opening
sentence in official report for the present
week from the Department of Commerce
and Labor, at Washington. This SEN
tence reads as follows:
Cotton at practically 15c pound !;
corn at zoe bushel; wheat at 81 .O9 a
bushel; bacon and lard at 12c a pound ;
and hay over $50 ton, are the prices
which foreign countries are now willing
to pay, with freight added, for the farm
products of the United States"

HOME CONTEST
The Most Interesting Event of the
Year.
MINERAL POINT SCHOOLS
Will Start Again Next Monday,
After One Weeks Vacation.
TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.
Everyone is enjoying much needed
rest this week. Miss Pierce, Miss Lorch
and Miss Weyman are spending the
week out of town.
The home contest turned out to be
one of the most interesting events of
the year. Sixteen Of the high school
students took part. The work showed
remarkable improvement over that of
last year, and the whole school begins
to show the effect of the training,
which while given directly to only about
twenty who volunteered for the work,
cannot help being beneficial to all.
On Wednesday evening eight girls
took part as follows: Jane Potter,
Blanche Fox, Helen Mess, Hazel Suth-
ers, Josephine Hutchinson, Anna Mae
Phillips, Marguerite Ivey, Hazel Day.
The judges, Supt. Slothewer and Oliver
Gray, of Platteville, and Mr.. Albert
Hook, gave first place to Blanche Fox,
second to Hazel Day, and third to
Helen Mess.
Thursday evening the following boys
took part: John Hanson, John Fielder,
Ulmont Healy, Samuel Jolliffe, Osman
Fox, Rufus Phillips, Elmer Ellsworth
and George Knight.
The judges, Professors Reynolds and
Huntington of the Platteville Normal,
and Mr.. Gardner, an attorney of Platte
vile, gave the first place to Osman Fox,
the second to John Hanson, third to
George Knight.
1t is not yet decided where the league
contest will be held, but it will possibly
be in Monroe the latter part of April.
Although there are several who would
gladly represent the school had the
judges so decided, there is only one
wish now, and that is that the twins
may win out and bring home first
honors. Class rivalry is buried now in
the one desire to have the school win.
We shall show our loyalty to the school
by doing all we can to get our two
speakers in the best condition possible
to meet the enemy.
Our first base ball game for the sea-
son will be played at the fair ground
Saturday afternoon, April 2. Turn out
and see our boys show Linden how to
play ball. We think we have a first
class team, but we need your support.
School will start again next Monday
and it is very desirable that everyone
be in his place the first day as there is
a great deal of work to be done before
June 3rd.
Miss Fiske, a former High School
teacher, was recent caller.
County Supt. Van Malta was in the
city Friday and Saturday. About twenty
teachers and twelve or fifteen country
