NO NEED TO FEEL GLOOMY.

The editor of a Crown Point paper
grows decidedly pessimistic over tht
bull moose movement in Lake coun
ty. Let him cheer up. Things are
not half as bad as he thinks they are
when he says:
The same Republicans who have
always been fighting A. F. Knots.
who has been everything in a DO
litical way, have come out at last
at his cluck and crawled under his
wing If he didn't expect to be
their leader he would not have
Joined their ranks.
There were too many Republi-
cans in the county for all to get
an office and as a last chance they
have switched hoping to get into
greener pastures. 1t is surprising
though. to see quite a number of
ex-county officers who served two
terms, and finally one still in office
come out and try to defeat the Re-
publican county ticket which was
squarely nominated in good faith
long before the Bull Moosers were
thought of. Those men. have re-
belled against their friends who
put them in office. Had they wait
ed until after the coming election
and then turned it would have
looked much better.
Let him understand first of al
that these so-called Republicans
chiefly disgruntled office seekers
nave for the past eight years fought
the regular republican nominees.
The Knots combine has been in
the democratic party for four years

writes that he will accept the demo-

want him.
The democratic people may want
the Crown Point Statesman to run
but Tom Knots will help him but
little If he does. Brother A. F. is
grooming himself to be the Bull

SIZE COUNTS.

One of the most famous and
talented artists born In Holland. a
land of great painters. has died at a
German health resort, and all the
world is told that he was English. 1t
is true as far as long residence in
London and citizenship in Great
Britain could wipe out the claim of
nativity, and Alma-Tadema will 60
into history as British rather than
Dutch.
In like manner Maurice Maeter-
link, Fleming by birth and blood,
has lived in France so long and writ
ten so uniformly in French that
when his brilliant career ends he is
likely to go into history as French
rather than Belgian. And SO the
noted Dutch author known as Maar-
ten Martens, though he chose to
live In Holland, early decided to
write in English for the sake of
wider audience.
Americans are never hampered In
any such way when they seek the
great honors and gains of life. How
ever high their genius, it can find
ample room for expression In their
own country. However great their
powers they cannot lack room for ac-
ton In the United States. 1t means
much to big men to be citizens of
big country. Incidentally. 1t Is not
bad for small men, either.

WATER POWER INCREASED.

The work on the construction of the
dam at Grandfather Falls on the Wis
consin river by the Grandfather Falls
company is being carried on with
much dispatch, and the same is being
remade so as to be unusually strong
to withstand most forcible strain.
One-half of the new apron of the
dam has been finished and it is ex-
pected that the remainder will be
ready by the 18th OF January. In adj
dition new fumes for the water
wheels are being installed.
The power house is to be enlarged
so that the size will be 40 by so feet.
The present capacity of 1000 horse
power will be practically doubled.
New machinery has been ordered so
that the increased power can be pro-
cured.
The machinery has been purchased
from the Allis-Chalmers company, of
Milwaukee, the +. Morgan-Smith
company and the General Electric
company. The last named will fur
nish the electrical machinery.
The Grandfather Fails company are
also making Improvements to their

order to be able to withstand such
terrific force as washed the structure
away this summer at the time of the
flood. They are installing new gates

NUT BROWN MAID THE STYLE

Paris, as the fashion arbiter of the
world, is not satisfied with having
altered the shapes of women. Now it
undertakes to change their hue. The
pallid complexion has gone out ofstyle
in the French capital, nor are English
roses in women's cheeks the accepted
thing. "To be chic" say late advices
from the throne of fashion, lone must
have brown tint, like gypsy" The
new rule no doubt is result of the
rage for touring the country in auto
mobiles. 1t is sign that the people
who lead the ton are living in the
open, and getting the benefit of the
sun and air. Undoubtedly there will
be counterfeiters at work under the
new regime as there were under the
old. Walnut juice or some equivalent
therefor will be sold in the beauty
parlors in place of ''lily white" But
| those who acquire the new tint in
natures way will eyince the best
Judgment, for in the act of acquiring
it by spending hours out of doors they

BUTTER MEN ANNUAL
QUOTATION BOARD.
Elgin Board Of Trade Abolishes Prac-
tice Of Arbitrarily Fixing Prices
in Stormy Session.

| In the most exciting annual meet
ing in its history the Elgin board of
trade recently abolished the practice
of seventeen years. standing of arbi-
trarily fixing the price of butter by
its quotation committee and adopted
plan to have the board itself deter
mine the price of the product in the
future based on actual sales.
The action came as result of the
suit recently filed by the federal gov
eminent for the dissolution of the
board. In its bill the government
mentioned the quotation committee
as one of the means used by the al
legged "butter trust in controlling
the price of the product.
The reorganization of the board and
the amendment of it's rules was the
elimination of a bitter fight for con-
troll of the organization waged for
many years between the commission
of selling interests and the producers.
Led by James P. Younger of Chi
| cago, the commission men elected a
board of five directors, abolished the
quotation committee and made
number of other important changes
in the organizations business
methods.
Defeated at every turn, the pro-
ducers' faction, under the leadership
of Joseph Newman, left the hall be-
fore the reorganization program had
been put thru and threatened to or
ganize rival board in the near fu-
ture.
