IT has certainly been proven that
Ed. Smith the chairman of the
Republican State Central committee
is bold, bad man. Even when
Geo. T. Simpson went to him and
says, says he, Ed, this fellow
Eberhart is so much bunk throw
him in the discard and play me as
trump for governor" Smith never
batted an eye and went right on
doing business. Simpson at once
became peeved and resigned his
position as attorney general.
Simpson said, that Smith fatty re-
fused to throw Eberhart saying
he would not go back on him.
This action on Smiths part has
stamped him bad party in the
eyes of several anti Eberhart ex-
changes, but goes to show there
are still personal friendships that
exist and stick, even among
politicians.

Surely they will discover many

fairly we'll convinced that the hash
furnished in these public eating
places contains more mysterious

appear on the table labeled hash,
the most mysterious dish known to

Investigations

The investigation OF the escape d
one Skinner, who departed from the
State Prison without the formality
of leaving his card, is in some sense
a proper move, but TO a man up d
tree and to some others, it appears
that the investigation came a trihe
late. Then when it was called the
Governor and Secretary of State
take to the Executive Chamber, en-
gage a lawyer to ask their questions
and let the public guess. As the in
vestigation came about from the
clamor of the people it would have
appeared to have been a public affair
and not one behind closed doors.
In ordinary walks OF life a man in
charge is given power to discharge a
man whom he thinks is irresponSi-
bic, or not fit to hold down the job.
the investigation follows after the
firing process. 1t would also appear
that the place to hold this investiga-
ton would have been at the prison
where the real act took place. In
stead, the Warden was kept on the
clean hustle all day bringing guards
to and from the prison.
1t reminds one. in certain meas
ures, of the Baker investigation.
The Board had made up its mind to
fire Mr.. Baker. yet they allowed a
lot of gallery play to take place for
a couple of weeks and then fired him.
When it is necessary to discharge a
man do it and investigate afterward.
The truth is that Skinner got out.
Who is to blame would be hard to
say, and the Board Of Pardons is
saved the trouble of granting him
his freedom.
A public affair that is worth inves-
tigation should be at least wide open
to the public.

Manufacturing FelOns

The State of Nevada seems bound
to give the Warden of the Peniten-
tiarv plenty of work, also the Judges
and lawyers. At the last session OF
the Legislature a bill was passed
making it a felony TO attempt suicide
and fail. One unfortunate is in the
State Prison, wearing stripes because
he is not dead. If possible the franz
ers Of this delicate bit of law would
punish a man who succeeds in the
suicide game.
Pick up the state papers and look
at this unfortunate game. Women
and men when in respondent moods
attempt suicide. In most cases a
doctor is rushed to their side and Of
ten a valuable life is saved and they
go on and live TO a ripe and useful
age. This law says different, either
make a success or go to prison. Ne
vada has done a lot OF fool things in
the past, but this is believed to be the
limit. If this law were carried out
to the letter fifty people who are
now alive would have filled a sui
cide's grave, but were rescued from
that grave by kind friends or panic
stricken relatives. would be COM
PEELED to occupy a felon's cell at the
states expense. just how sober men
could have concocted such an all
round fool law is the question.

for Wilson

Assemblyman Schmitt of San
Francisco, is for Taft, but he is of
the opinion that fully 90 per cent
of the Taft Republicans OF the state
will vote for Wilson"
Mr.. Schmitt's opinion is not CON
elusive OF the matter under discus
sion, and yet it proves nothing.
Nevertheless, it is reasonably safe
to forecast that, if 90 per cent, a very
large proportion OF Taft Republi-
cans in this commonwealth will vote
for Mr. Wilson. 1t is not human ma
ture to be knocked down and not re-
sent the blow.
Thus "the pit that the wicked hath
digged he himself hath fallen into"
Cunning has overshot its mark, as it
frequently does. and the Bull Moose
have added TO the number of those
who will vote against them. They
have taken advantage of what Chief
Justice Beatty terms ga very bad
law" the law made by themselves,
and they will pay the price just one
month from now.
Democrats might we'll rejoice in
the situation. but the Union still pro-
tests against the political outrage
that made it possible. It believes in
the square deal" even if a political
opponent might in some manne
benefit from it.'-Sacramento Union.

The Journal last evening published
letter from Burt Williams, one Of
the leading democrats of the state,
in which he stated that he would
vote for McGovern. That the nation
al committee is going to stay out
of Wisconsin is evidenced by the &C
tions of Joe Davies, secretary of the
national democratic committee after
he had attended the state platform
convention The platform went right
contrary to what Wilson, the presi-
dental candidate stood for. 1t slapped
Bryan in the face in as much as it
condemned certain fundamental DEM
ocratic principles for which the peer
less leader has been fighting for
10, these many years.
The democrats did have a good OPP
portunity of winning in Wisconsin
this fall; but they killed their
chances. By adopting platform such
as they did, they expected to get the
republican vote. They will, no doubt
get a few But for every republican
vote that they get, they will lose
five democratic votes that will go to
McGovern.-Antigo Journal.

Early this year the saloons were

Christian, the Methodist and the
Presbyterian churches met and Or
ganized for the Christian protection
of Franklin 1t was we'll understood
that their first work was to prevent
the saloons returning to their town.
They had remonstrance cards printed
and the committee divided the dis
tricts of the city and a careful sys-
tematic canvass for votes was made.
At the close of the canvass it was
found that eighty out Of every one
hundred voters-four to One--had
signed the remonstrance cards to
keep the saloons out of their beau
tiful city. Thousands of cities and
towns of our country only need the
organized, earnest effort of their
Christian voters to rid themselves
of the saloons. Many times it is
the Indifference of moral men ito
the use of the ballot that makes it
possible to get a majority vote fav-
oring saloons.

Wisconsin Governor Gives Views on

Governor F. E. McGovern, in a

tickets.
Governor McGovern was renominat

this is his first statement explaining
his views on national issues. He rec
onciles his declaration for Roosevelt
and support of the Republican state
ticket by explaining that the Wiscon-

harmony with the national Progress
sive platform and says that no Re-
publican who supports the Progressive
ticket need leave his party in this
state.
