SOME of the men who are now so
earnestly insisting upon increasing the
liability of the employer may some day
start out with two or three thousand
dollars themselves and become employ
ers of labor, and when they do they
will find the natural obstacles difficult
enough without the artificial ones they
are now creating. In all the legislation
proposed the employer is treated as a
heartless wretch who would grind his
men into powder without dropping a
tear, while, as matter of common ex-
perience, the man who puts his money
into industries which gives labor a
chance to live and lay by for days of
age and incapacity is the real bene-
factor of his race. And yet it is con-
sidered the very acme of craftsmanship
to increase the burdens of such men,
and surround the man of small means
with such terrorizing rules and regula-
tons as to make it impossible for the
prudent laborer ever to become the
manager of his own business. The
trusts are bad enough. but when liza
bility for all accidents is added, the
man with few thousand dollars better
keep his position as servant, as one &C
cident to his employee might wipe his
few thousands out of existence and
leave him stranded. The greatest
amount of suffering in this world does
not come from accident, but from i'm
providence and incapacity. -Stoughton
Courier-Hub.

Producer and Consumer.

The coming political struggle will be
between the producer and the consum-
er-the farmer and the city dweller
The farmer should get his eyes open to
this fact. The ingenuity of the politi-
cal representative of the city constit-
uency will be devoted to lowering the
price of farm products by any means
Obtainable. 1t is already in evidence in
Congress. A representative from Chi
cago has already introduced bill to
put most agricultural products on the
tariff free list. Farmers should begin
to study the question. Be careful as
to what political alliance you make.
The large city papers are no guide to
the farmer. They sell most of their
papers to the city population, and they
will favor the class that gives them the
largest commercial support. The great
cry now is towards free trade. But
the farmer should think carefully be-
fore he joins the crusade Figure out
how much tariff you pay on your own
clothing during the year. Estimate
whether you would be better off with
free meats, free wool, etc., from South
America, and vastly lower prices for
your own products, or good prices for
what you sell and little higher price
on your once a year suit of clothes.
Suppose you get your suit of clothes
: two dollars less and lose four dollars
for every hog you sell and double that
much on every worn out cow. 1t is
capable of computation. Just do lit
tie figuring. w atertown Leader.

THE interesting fact that the plans
for the new state capitol which is being
erected provide for a restaurant, SINH
lar to the senate and house restaurants
in the national capitol, and to the res
taurant in the Minnesota state capitol,
is not generally known, even among
members of the legislature. The plans
provide for large restaurant in the
basement, under the dome, which will
be the last section of the capitol to be
built, and it will be connected both by
stairways and elevators with the wings
containing the senate and assembly
chambers. The most modern and scien-
tific methods will be used to ventilate
the kitchen and dining room.

THE report of the majority of the
members of the 1909 legislative probe
committee finds that Bob used the
game wardens to do his political work
and let the state foot the bills for their
salaries and travelling expenses, while
the minority report of the same COM
mittee, recently filed, finds that Steph-
enson used the same game wardens, but
footed the bills himself. To be sure,
Bob didn't hire as many private politi-
cal scouts as Stephenson for the very
good and only reason, he hadn't the
dough, but he never showed an aver
sion to the practice not traceable to his
purse. -Madisonian. Thus it might be
rather dangerous to ask the U. S. SEN
ate to probe too deeply into Wisconsin
political methods. The lime light, how
ever, would show up a pretty mess of
reformers.

There is little doubt that large pOr-
ton Of the cases of tuberculosis among
farmers has its origin in the low, close.
unventilated sleeping rooms common
in the story and a half dwelling. TO
save a little in the cost of lumber the
farmer has. unwittingly no doubt. pre-.
pared conditions the most favorable
for the development of germs. which
may at any time find lodgment in the
lungs Of his children. A case is cited
where four boys and girls, born of rO-
bust parents, but compelled to pass
their nights in close. half story rooms.
were carried off by consumption al
most as soon as they reached maturity,
while to their ancestry the disease was
unknown. The so called bungalow type
Of dwelling is little more than a re-
vival, under another name, Of the old.
palmer, pestiferous story and half
dwelling.
If the owner will only sleep on its
wide porch winter and summer he
may afford to live in it. But to sleep
in a room whose ceiling will not allow
one TO stand upright except on
limited portion Of the floor and where
the air space is totally insufficient for
health is enough to commit slow
suicide. II high ceilings are anywhere
desirable, that where" is in sleeping
