OUR NE|GHBOR
SARCASTIC

The Stevens Point Journal don't
want Grand Rapids to get on the
map-could it be possible that in
their afluence, growth and prosperity
they would keep US down?
A citizen of Grand Rapids, who
sometimes has occasion to go out
of that village, says that while a.
way recently he was surprised and
deeply panied to notice that in ''the
depots at St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth, in the Union stations, in
calling off the departure of trains
the city of Grand Rapids was never
announced among the stations called.
This was bad enough but when he
heard the names Of Marshfield, Ste
vens Point, Waupaca, and many 9th
er small cities like Wausau, Merrill,
etc, but never heard the call Of Grand
Rapids, he was nearly paralized,
and asks through the Grand Rapids
Reporter, what is going to be done
about it.
Without desiring to butt in on
question of this kind, we cannot re
frain from stating that one of the
reasons the name of Stevens Point
is called at the stations named is
that with only two exceptions it is
the most important city on the Soo's
line from Chicago to st. Paul. We
might also suggest that perhaps when
Grand Rapids shall have attained the
same population and commercial i'm
portance as Stevens Point the call me
at st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth may put the name Of that city
in their repertoires.

PROPOSED POLITICAL OUTRAGE.

PROPOSED POLITICAL OUTRAGE.
Through the provisions of a pro
posed law just introduced in the leg
islature, it will be possible for Gov.
3IcGovern at any time to supersede
Attorney-GeneraI Bancroft, to with
draw him from considering and act
ing upon any official duty and ap-
point someone else to act in his
place. This is of course simply an
insurgent trick 10 steal from the
voters Of this state who protested
against their high-banded pre-elec-
ton methods the single office and
officer they did not capture. On &C
count Of the insurgent strength in
the legislature this bill viii probably
become a law. But if it does it will
be equivalent to DISTINGUISHING every
man in the state who voted for Levi
II. Bancroft. What do you think
about such legislation voters?-Apple
ton Post.
While such a bill has been intro
duced in the legislature there is no
probability that it viii pass and be
come a law. Such bills are introduced
and suggested by the acts and con
duct OF such men as Levi H. Bancroft
present Attorney-General, by his re
fusing to accept a second assistant
N his office sent there under the
rules Of the Civil Service Commits
sion Of the State. We understand
that 1r. Bancroft refused to accept
such person, but appointed B. J.
Castle instead. What can you ex-
Pect when a State officer will over
ride the action of the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission in such a manner?
LIS MT at ali surprising that some
one would think OF some method OF
forestauing such action by a State Of
Icer and curtailing his power. The
above bill would probably never have
been thought. OF had the Attorney-Ger
eraI accepted his second assistant as
other State officers have. His ac
ton smpresses one as if he, Bancroft
should be given special privilege
not enjoyed by others. We have
more confidence in the present Iegis-
IIature than our friends Of the APP
pleton Post have, who are of the
opinion that such bill might be
cone a law. It never will, neither
viii Levi H. Bancroft succeed in in,
stalIlng B. J. Castle as his second as
ststant in the acknowledgements Of
flee. One man like Levi Bancroft
may lose his head as he did recently
when talking Of the deceased Frank
Tucker, but the entire legislature is
not likely to, by the passing Of such
bill Don't allow your Stalwart dis
position to overlook BaDcroft's faults
and court the same faults from the i
surgent legislature, with whom you
differ. We feel that you will meet
with disappointment in your predic,
ton that the legislature will pass
such a bill

CORPORATIONS.

The greatest danger menacing
Republican institutions today is
the overwhelming control of city,
state and national legislation by
the wrongful use of the wealth
and power of public service, in
dustrial and financial corpora
tons. The influence which rules
may be traced to the close asso-
citation of political and corporate
power. 1t is a complete system.
It defrauds the people, defeats
legislation in the public interests
and passes laws for the special
interests. The only power that
can save the government from
these corrupting interests is d.
rect nominations, the initiative
and the referendum and the re-
call. They are all expressions of
the citizens desire to wrest leg
islation from corporate control
and restore it to the people,
