NO young woman, In the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care

waiting months. Mothers Friend

tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's

dition, brings the woman to the crisis

''WHEN the voters of this country
stop filling all public offices by those
who seek, months before the primaries,
and begin to fill public Offices with men
who wait to be selected, then they will
have far less reason for complaint
about poor public service, and far less
corruption in public office" writes a
correspondent to the Madison Demo-
crat, to which that paper adds: "These
words ring strong and true. Let us do
the seeking and eschew the seekers.
Under the primary system direct way
is opened for the public to become ag-
gressive in this matter. The sane and
exalted attitude of General Grant in
war is prodigiously appealing to us in
peace. We want public servants who
wait to be selected, not such as eagerly
put forward themselves for what there
is in it. -

A COMPREHENSIVE review OF the tax
alton of corporations in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin is pre-
scented in a report of the commissioner
of corporations transmitted to the pres
ident. From it it appears that Wiscon
sin makes it's corporations pay far the
largest share of the state expenses.
About II per cent of the states taxes
come from that source. Ohio collects
81 per cent of its total from corpora
tons; Indiana, 10 per cent, and Illinois,
81 per cent. In Michigan the revenue
from corporations, which is As per cent
of the tax receipts, is applied to the
school fund. The aim of the recent
legislatures has been to wiring few
more dollars out of the corporations by
every conceivable method, without re-
gard to reason or justice, on the theory
that corporations have no friends or
right to exist, so lam it to them was a
most popular thing to do. Wisconsin
is so far ahead of the procession now
it might be we'll to stop and see if we
have not really overdone the business.
Surely we are progressing mighty fast
in some directions.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-08-18

Madison Democrat: If something is
wrong with the popularity of a COM
munity it is just as natural to look for
the trouble on the roads leading to the
town as it is to glance first at the
-spark-plugs of balky automobile. The
community that desires prosperity, and
home trade, must see to it that all OF
the possible avenues for outside patron
age are open and in first-class working
condition Every good road leading
into town means just that many more
dollars profit to every merchant in that
town. This is statement without
qualification. The community that de-
sires to develop into something more
than an obscure hamlet must look to
the condition of its roads. The roads
that led to Rome made that city for
ever famous, and brought it prosperity.
The same scheme of business building
holds good today, even though centuries
have passed since the great Appian
way was dotted with the people pour
ing into the capital city of Italy. Near
ly every European country is far ahead
of the United States in the matter of
road building 1t is matter of per-
sonal interest TO every man IN this
country to see chat the little stretch of
road that lies before his home or his
farm is in good condition. Of course,
there are abuses to good roads, but
they cannot outweigh the benefits de-
rived from the good roads.

LIKE the republican editors of the
middle west, the G. 0. P. scribes of
the northwest, rejecting, according to
the Chicago Tribune, the party senti-
ment of their section, overwhelmingly
call upon President Taft to veto every
piece of acknowledgement tariff leg
isIation passed at this session. At the
rate of 5 to they approve of postpone
ment of all tariff revision until the
tariff board reports at the regular ses-
sion of congress. Thus the two sec
tons of the country where the repub-
lican insurgents were supposed to have
the largest following have, according
to this newspaper plebiscite, repudiated
their leadership, at least as far as the
tariff is concerned.

INVESTIGATIONS are the order of the
day and Uncle Ike seems to be in line
for his. Good enough! Let us know
all about how the progressive move
ment was capitalized through the bung
hole of Stephenson's barrel. If the
lime light is turned on, it is certain to
show that the primary election law is
primarily responsible for the extrava-
giant expenditure of money in elections.
It promotes and invites large expenses
in placing candidates before the peo-
pie, always to the disadvantage of the
poor man. The law is intended that
only the rich should seek office or the
poor to graft to meet the expense. Go
back to the fountain head and you~will
find that the system is wrong.

CHAPTER |.

Ct1AI L LII l.
F." HE warden's office in Sing Sing
prison is not Il pleasant spot in
which to Iinger, whether you
may be innocent or whether
guilty of crime. AND no more reas-
surfing could be termed the abrupt
dominating parsonage who presided
over the dismal destinies of the office
and institution when occurred the
events chronicled in this narrative.
That a man fated by his choice of
occupation to daily associate intimate
ly with criminals of high and low de-
gree and to come constantly in per-
sOnal contact with all the misery and
depravity going to form the life of a
states prison-that IA man so fated
should find exquisite enjoyment in ac-
centuating these depressing conditions
Is surely Il contradiction of what ordi-
nariiy would be expected. Humans of
normal mold are generally occupied in
ameliorating the evils and annoyances
of their surroundings. That is natures
way. Not so with Warden Handler.
That which Is bad can be made to be
worse. Innocence can be shown to be
guilt-with the aid of trained wit
nesses. Repentance is always inSin-
cere, and if it is not it can be made
so. A murderer should be made to re-
member always his ignominy. A thief
should be reminded of his amateuriSh
clumsiness which led him into the
clutches of the central office men.
That was Handlers philosophy. That
was Handlers way.
And underlying all his petty oppres-
sion and gross inhumanity was a
cause. deep rooted in a system Of his
own and of a race of Jail keepers that
went before him. Exposure? Re-
hoval? Bah, He had considered all
that. And, if worse came to worse,
