POINTED PARAGRAPHS

After the moving pieture-Wbat?
For big man Taft can do more
running around than would be ex-
pected.
It is difficult thing for the aver
age man to find his real work.
When hope or confidence in self is
dead, very little worth keeping re-
mains.
An Indiana farmer took a $50 pound
hog to market in his automobile and
his neighbors called it joy ride.
Armour says ne is sorry for the
people because of the high price of
meat. Strange way some people have
showing sympathy.
They may criticize Roosevelt ali
they please. but he has the rare cour-
age to set his Judgment and opinion
against all OF them to say what he
thinks.
And there are those who claim that
this will be a dry or a wet season, OF
hot or cold season, because of the
comet. We sometimes think these
wise ones know as much about it as
we do.
If, as Aldrich says, there is pos
sible. an annual saving of $500, 600 in
the national expense, it is surprising
that President Taft is doing something
to wipe out that deficit.
An exchange says that the income
tax law will make q nation of liars.
What we would like to ask is. how
many tell the truth under the present
plan of taxation. when lie will en-
able them to dudge the payment uf a
certain amount?

Washington will be greatly shocked
when they read the election returns
from Milwaukee today? The metrop-
oils of state known throuhgout the
country for the conservatism of its
inhabitants. the first big city Of the
country to GU over to the Social Dem
ocratg. Why? Well. the gentlemen
in Conrgess. who have considered the
patience of the people to be limitless,
and who knUw today that they have
been in error, will probably be able
to answer that question themselves.
The fiery writing on the wall, that
became visible first few weeks age
in Massachusetts. flashed forth for the
second time Yesterday. That is the
real meaning of the Social Democratic
victory in Milwaukee. He must be
blind who does not see it. And woe
to the party in power if its RESPONSE
bic leaders do not take to heart the
impressive lesson of the Milwaukee
election.

spicuous examples Of late years in

One Of the best ways 20 study
farming is to help q farmer for a
while and receive pay during the
course. The call of the FIELDS for

IN every state.
Many a man would have the world
bellows that he is q great patriot,
when, as g matter of fact, he is sim
ply looking for a good job, or seeking
an opportunity to add to his financial
resources.
The charges against Richard A.
BaIlinger, secretary Of the interior,
stand practically unrefuted. The
President in justice to himself, and
the friends who have confidence in
him, should intimate to Mr.. Ballinger
in very positive manner that his
resignation could not be rendered any
too quickly to save him from an un-
necessary embarrassment.
It is whispered Sub rosa. that
Joseph E. Davies of Madison, will be

Hon. S. A. Cook will issue a mani
festo in a few days. Make it short,
Samuel, and to the point. Just say,
if you are nominated and elected, you
will recognize the fact you are not the
only honest man in political and busl-
ness life in this country.
The tendency of congress to usurp
the sovereign rights Of the state, need
curbing CIR the time is not far distant
when The states won't have any rights
whatever The power Of congress to
create corporations outside uf the
District of Columbia, to gather an
income tax in the several states and
create national department Of health
with a cabinet officer, are infringe
ments of the powers of the state and
should be looked upon with alarm.

BLTJNT AND POINTED

The following editorial which ap-
peared in the GeImania. d republican
paper published in Milwaukee a couple
of DAYS after the result of the munic-
ipal election in til at city. is blunt and
to the point and sizes up the situation
about right:
at would be an injustice for the
Republicans to hold DR.. Bethel, and
the Democrats to hold Mr.. Schoen-
ecker responsible for the outcome.
Both did their full duty as they saw
it and conducted able, clean and SEN
sible campaigns, and did for their
respective tickets all that lay In their
power. The Social Democratic victory
was simply Inevitable. whoever
stood at the head of the two parties
as unimportant. Their most popu-
lar men could not have stayed the re-
suit: for one uf the almost irresistible
issues among many of whom it could
not formerly appeal That lead to its
strsnoth WAS the bitterness of the
whole American Leople over the un-
nearable trust system and high prices.
That the bitterness in large indus
trial CITY. with it's thousands OF work
ing mems families who live from
hand to mouth, has taken an especially
sharp character, is NOT surprising.
