THE NEWSPAPE Err.

Of all men the newspaper men who
are to select from the worlds doings
and the community's doings that with
which the public is to be made ia
miliar, needs to be wise and judicious
and to lay aside his dislikes and clear
himself of all malice. If the neWspa-
per which you take is to decide what
information concernings the doings,
good and bad, in the world and in the
community, you and your family are
to be made familiar with, have you
not also a duty as to the kind of a
newspaper you take-whether it be
one that parades and patronizes vice
and crime, and sneers at goodness
and decency, or one that does the
reverse of this? Does it make a diff
ference whether you admit, daily or
weekly, to your household, paper
which has regard for truthfulness
and fairness, or one which will lie
and SANDER at any time to suit it's
purpose?
To the newspapers are committed
great responsibilities and of it there
must be corresponding demand. The
responsibility of the paper, of those
who make it and give it it's character
is great and this responsibility ought
to be exercised under the power and
guidance of noble principle. But the
paper and they who make it have not
the only responsibility. They who Sc
lect the paper which they will take
and patronize have a responsibility
for their selection. He who supports
paper in anyway is responsible in
measure for the character of that
paper. This community is RESPONSE

encourages and supports; and es-

AND THIS is CARRYING OUT THE
POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT.

Determined efforts are being made
by the great financial interests all
over the country to inject into the
approaching campaign side issues of
little consequence to the masses. They
do not care to risk an election on
the merits of the real issues. The
public should mot be misled.
The public need not be worried by
the reports from Washington that
prominent standpatters from other
states will come to Wisconsin to OPP
pose the reelection of La Toilette,
Cary, Cooper, Lenroot, and Nelson.
These standpatters will have the
fight Of their lives to retain their
own seats.
Do not be worried by the cry of
party solidarity" which was raised
by President Taft and the standpat-
tiers. Remember the efforts made by
them in 1904 to elect George w. PECK
Democrat governor of Wisconsin AL
so remember that Cannon was saved
from certain defeat in 1908 by demo
Gratis in the house of Representatives.

We are withhim on oil the progres-
siVe issues now before this state and
nation. If we considered Congress-
man Morse a Half Breed, or Progress
sive Republican, we would be glad
to support him. In our opinion he is
not half breed and never has been.
Since he has been in Congress he
has voted and been lined up with the
Stalwarts more than he has with
the Progressive Republicans. Tt has
simply been in the present Congress-
that he has been voting with the in
surgeon and We take it that this is
done more to help his re-eelction
than it is that he really feels and
believes that way. If anyone will
take the pains to look up his appoint
ments, they will find that nearly two
thirds of them are Stalwarts. The
recent P. o. appointments made by,
him at Wausau and Ashland are out
and out stalWarts. This is a play
for Stalwart support in Ashland and
Marathon Counties. We rather sup
port an out and out stalwart for Con-
gress than one whom we consider al
ways in doubt, first on one side of
the fence and then on the other. and
occasionally falling between. In sup
porting Mr.. Hambrecht we will have
this satisfaction, that when he an
nounces his platform he can be de-
pended upon to support it and in
every manner be true to his conYic-
lions and not be vacillating from one
side to the other on public ques-
tons as the present encumbent does.

THE STEVENSON INVESTIGATION
(contributed.)

(contributed.)
In behalf of the people of Wood
County I wish to extend congratu-
lations to the members of the Ste
phenson Investigation Committee on
the beautiful job of white washing
they did.
Surely inexperienced hands could
not have accomplished the same re-
suits. They must either have been
old hands at such work or have TAX
en- correspondence courses in that
line.
1t was disgraceful affair from
beginning to end. The disgraceful
part of it did not lie in making the
investigation Gas some of the mem
bers of the committee claimed) but
i'm the way it was carried on.
Those who opposed the investiga-
ton tried to defend their conduct by
saying it was against the dignity
of the state. A noble defense set up
by our representatives
Their conduct has no defense. If
Tho obororoe hros,pbt q oo ink Conator
Stephenson was true Eve all have
cur opinion on that subject regard
less of any committed he deserved
his just dues.
If they were not true it would be
no disgrace to examine into the way
he conducted his campaign. Rather
an honor to have it said that he
was elected to United States Senate
without buying the voters.
AS 1 said before the disgrace lay
in the way the investigation was car
r1ed ON. Some tried to slde-tnack the
investigation by comparing La Fol
lette's campaign to Stephensons'
They were there to investigate Steph
enson not La Toilette OR anybody
else.
You all know the result the commit
tee recommended law against using
money in elections and campaigns
and these very same men who recon
mended the law will do their level
best to kill such a law if it does
come UP.
Are we going to maintain such mel
in office? They have fooled us once
but they can't do 1T always and it
will be up to the voters next Nov
ember to lay them on the shelf for
good.

1t will be interesting to note the

Neighbor, it may prove to be inter
esting and probably some people may
wonder why we will support Geo. P.

with stalwart tendencies in place of
our present Congressman, E. A. Morse
We have been a supporter of Sena-
tor La Toilette ever since ne was a
candidate for Governor the first time.

return to the United States Senate

ment with a Tammany Democrat

hent with Tammany Democrat.
CANNON will not be a member of
the committee, but the System will
be as potential on that committee
as though CANNON were it's chair
man. Sheltered behind the COM
mittee, he will be as effective an in
strument for wrong as though he
were still its head and front He may
be even more dangerous. His often
sive arrogance, his course PERSONAL
ty will be less conspicuous.
The effect of this contest in the
House has been greatly exaggerated.
When the cheering and the excitement
over the nominal defeat of CANNON
and his machine shall be succeeded
by calm deliberation, the American
people will inquire how much has rea
ly been won, how far afield the stand
ards of true representative govern
ment have been advanced.
The victory will strengthen the mo-
rale of the progressive organization.
1t will demonstrate that the System
can be beaten. But it will be clear
ly understood that little was achieved
besides the temporary humiliation
of an old man of bad eminence,
whose successor the System must,
at all events, soon put forward.
Cannonism without CANNON is just
as hurtful to the country as Cannon
ism with CANNON. The people must
understand that Connonism is a short
definition of government by that Sys-
tenn. ALDRICH and CANNON would
have little power for evil if a MAORI
ty of the Republican majority in both
the Senate and the House represent
ed public interest instead of special
interests.
So long as the Republican MAORI
ty serves the System it will make lit
tie difference whether or not CAN
NON is a member of the committee
on rules.
The American people must under
stand that this has been only Skin
mish. The real battle is still to com,
and that must be fought out i'm the
primaries and the elections between
now and November. Candidates must
be nominated and elected who will
vote against CANNON and his type,
without flinching, and against Cannon
ism in every form.
In fear of the approaching elections
some of the System congressman de-
serted CANNON and voted with the
insurgents. These men are making
a record upon which to go before
their constituents. The gathering
storm of public resentment caused

The Skirmish in the House.

WHAT'S the net result of last week
struggle in the House of Representa-
tives?
A resolution was adopted provid-
ing for the appointment of a new con
mittee on rules of which the Speaker
will not be member.
The action taken, therefore, makes
the following changes no more, no
less: The new committee on rules
will be selected by caucus. Hereto
fore it has been appointed by the
Speaker. 1t will consist of ten mem
bers. Heretofore there have been five
The Speaker will not be member
of this committee. Heretofore he has
been its chairman.
This does not change the plan of
organization of the House at the be-
ginning of each Congress, or deprive
the Speaker of his absolute. power
of appointing, and hence packing, all
of the standing committees on legis-
lation, or change the method of con-
Quoting business in the House.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1910-03-31

The new committee on rules will
have he same power as the old com
mittee on rules, that is, whenever a
majority of it's members so determine
it is privileged to present for the
conSid GRAFTON of the House a special
rule or motion with respect to some
particular bill or proceedings. 1t has
always had that power. The Republic
can majority of this committee on
rules will be named by a Republican
caucus The steel trust, the sugar
trust, the beef trust, the cotton trust,
in short, the System, will control in
that caucus by an overwhelming
majority.
1t dominates both branches of Con-
gress. 1t speaks throuhg ALDRICH
in the Senate and through CANNON
in the House. 1t will control the new
