a PArRIoTIc woRLp MovEMENT

Three of the worlds greatest nations
with the United States as the central
figure and moving spirit joined hands
on the Sd instant in the way to the
coveted goal of statesmen of modern
times-universal peace. America and
Great Britain and America and France
signed general arbitration treaties for
the peaceful settlement of all disputes
that may be locked in the mystery of
me future even though they concern
the national honor or vital interests of
the signatories, subjects invariably ex-
cepted in existing arbitration treaties.
These agreements for arbitration are
the most far-reaching and statesman
like international achievements of mod
ern times. To President Taft must GER
tainlY Ie accorded unusual credit in this
matter. The world needs peace, and
it is satisfaction to every patriotic
American to realize that war viii not
be had in the future with the govern
ments named, and arbitration will be
extended to other countries. In this
our great president has displayed the
same calm breadth of heart and mind
that has characterized every important
act inconnection with his administration.
The politicians may rave and pull their
hair and attempt to deceive the people
into the belief that Taft is against the
general veal of the country, but time
will convince thinking men that he is
an honest and patriotic man and cannot
be moved by the hysteria of the day,
he must stem an unpopular
current to his accomplishments. The
president is a statesman, not a politi-
clan.

NO oUEsTIoNs SHOULD BE ASKED

Hon. Merlin Hull of Black River
Falls, editor of the Jackson County
Journal. and himself a member of the
legislature, and a possible candidate for
lie republican nomination for secretary
of state, takes exception to what he
thinks an improperly and Inconsistency
on part of those who have in the past
cried out Justify against bossism in po-
litics. Mr.. Hull will invoke the dis
favor of all simon pure ''progressives"
if he persists in questioning their au-
thority. Mr.. Hull remarks:
A Milwaukee paper is authority for
the statement that word is being sent
over the state to certain republican
politicians to attend the state fair so
that a conference can be held regarding
the selection of a state ticket next
year. We do not see how that can be?
We thought that old ring method of
doing things was Of the past and that
il had been superseded by the policy of
letting the people choose a state ticket.
Who are these politicians who are
going to attempt to bring back the
days of tricks and trades? When and
where did they get their credentials?

HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With II.

u NAT Goes win II.
A good theory that won't work isn't
half as good as a poor one that Will
Twenty years ago young man just
out of college had great idea. He
was going to tin plate tomatoes. There
was to be no more troublesome pairing
and cooking and canning to preserve
tomatoes throughout winters. 1t would
be necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato into his timing solution and it
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact,
there wasn't any reason why it should
not keep forever! The young inventor
figured 1t would cost him 80 cents a
gallon TO make this timing solution
1t surely would sell for 81 a gallon.
Every one eats tomatoes-that is, near
ly every one. Everybody would eat
them if they could always have a nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ought to sell a million gallons a year
That would be profit of million and
a half dol Well, no tin plated toma-
toes are on the market yet. and the
man who invented them is still making
only SIS a week.
The moral of this is that whenever
you hear Of great idea that is going
to reform or uplift the world make
sure that it is not of the tin plated
tomato Chicago Tribune.

A BLOOD TAX.

Payment by French Town to Spain
For an An, mt Crime.
Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds of the valley of Roneal, in Ma
varre. were murdered by shepherds Of
the valley of Bareton, In Bearn, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Arlas. in the Pyrenees. 1t
would have been difficult to bring the
murderers individually to justice, and
the Spaniards were preparing TO make
war upon the valley from which the
French murderers had come when the
French villages proposed that peace be
maintained at the price of a yearly tax
or tribute. to endure for all time, and
this proposition was accepted.
The payment of this blood tax-origi-
nally three white mares, but later three
cows of a particular breed and color,
has been made ever since, the custom
Qt is nothing moreJ having survived
even the great wars in which both
France and Spain have engaged and
the storm of the French revolution.
Yearly the representative men of the
twU valleys meet on the frontier at a
certain stone rerpote from any town
and go through the ceremony of pre-
senting and receiving the cattle. The
order Of procedure, which is elaborate
and impressive. is fixed by document
bearing the date 1875, though the tax
was paid hundred years prior to that
time. The records Of each yearly meet
ing and payment are duly attested and
deposited In the archives of the Ron
oalais.-New York Tribune.

OF any set of measures by the

we cannot afford to ignore it

Germany has solved this protf8sn by
cooperative loan associations which in

are pledged to the company as secur-

6orrows large sums of money at very
low rates OF interest This money is
used to purchase land for members
upon approval of the board of df
rectors. The farmer who borrows
money from the association pays it
back in easy payments extending over
a period of forty years or so BE Is
charged a quarter Of 4 cent more in

quarter of a cent is used TO pay ex-

to cover losses. II has always been
amply sufficient for these purposes
