Progressive Humbuggery.

The main stock in trade Of these
Progressive ranters like Roosevelt, La
Toilette and lot more of the fore
runners of state socialism, is the claim
that the liberties of the people are in
danger from capitalism. One would
think, to hear them talk, that capital
was a crouching lion, ready to spring
out from behind our laws and all our
institutions and devour us bodily. A
good many people have taken it for
granted that all that slush talk and
bunk was true and so they fall down
and worship the big mouthers, give up
their minds, their judgments, and their
real sense of the truth of things to
their control.
1t doesn't seem to occur to such peo-
pie that when the mouthers talk that
they are playing the old game of per-
sonal politics, just to keep in office;
that's ALL
Now this talk about the sins of capt.
tai is nine-tenths clap-trap and humbug.

ties. Is the capital that is invested in
our industries trying to enslave the
people? 1t is all home capital, just as
it is in the many thousands of other
places. What is capital doing here
that it is so bad? Where did this capt.
tai come from? Every dollar of it has
been earned and accumulated here.
Look at the men who are doing the
best they can to manage it so that it
shall keep our working men employed,
so that they can support their families,
educate their children and live the
lives of decent men. Were the man.
ayers of our factories born in purple
and fine linen? Every man of them
was once poor man. Have they rob-
bed their fellowmen, oppressed the
poor and done those horrible things
capital is charged with? Who is it that
pays the heaviest taxes to keep free
schools going? Who is it that stands
behind every new enterprise and i'm
provement?
Now, what is true of capital here in
Fort Atkinson is true of it all over the
nation. In few instances it may for
get it's duty and become the oppressor
of the poor. 1t may play dog, like some
other things in society, but should we
lose our common sense on that &C.
count?-Jefferson County Union.

member of the Progressive party, then
we do not know what fraud is. Gov
ernor McGovern's confession reveals
that he had no thought of supporting
the national Republican ticket since the
Chicago convention. 1t reveals that
ever since the formation of the third
party he has been determined to sup
port it's ticket and stand for it's plat
form. In spite of this determination
he submitted himself to the people as
Republican candidate for governor and
accepted the nomination as Republl-
can without one word to reveal his
utilization with the Progressive party.
We do not wish to question the SINGER
ity of Governor McGovern's convic-
tons, but we do question the morality
of attempting to secure his nomination
under false colOrs. The time to have
declared his new political faith was be-
fore the primaries. The consistent and
honorable course would have been to
refrain from running on the Republi-
can ticket. But if expediency prompt
ed him to do this, the dictates of good
faith and common honesty should have
compelled him to acquaint the public
with his change of politics. In the cir
cumstances, we can regard the candi-
dacy of Governor McGovern on the Re-
publican ticket as nothing more nor
less than 'stolen goods, which, if he
Goes not renounce them of his own &C
cord, should be recovered by the proper
party authority and the force of public
opinion.
The Free Press demands that in the
event of Governor McGovern's failure
to withdraw as Republican nominee
he be put off the Republican ticket by
the Republican state central commit
tee. Whether, under the circumstances,
the committee has the power to effect
the removal of his name from the tick
ct is likely to be disputed. But Repub-
lican voters must see that the fraud
ulency of his crndidacy is obvious, and
that for any one to vote for him as a
Republican would be fatuous. The law
makes it incumbent upon candidate
who is the nominee of two parties to
declare on which ticket he will run

THE country is at the flood tide of
prosperity. The last four years under
republican laws and republican policies
mark triumphant climax in the ma
TONS history. From the day that VIM.
Mckinley, in the name of the republl-
can party, assumed control of the gov
eminent, down to the present time,
when William Howard Taft is proving
the worthy and patriotic successor of
the martyred president, there has been
uninterrupted progress, unexampled
prosperity, marvellous growth. Bust
ness everywhere is booming. Labor is
in great demand and wages were never
better. Banks deposits are increas-
ing. Railroads are carrying enormous
quantities of freight. Shipbuilding has
taken on a new lease of life. Farmers
are making money and miners and all
other classes of workers are busy.
Never was such universal activity
known before.

Two bulletins made public by the
bureau of labor of the department of
show that the average increases in the
cost of food between the years 1890
and 1912 is approximately 40 per cent.
The increase in the price of meats
amounts to nearly 65 per cent. Be-
tween 1890 and 1911 the increases are
as follows: Meats, 623 per cent; lard,
AIS per cent; hens, AIS per cent;
wheat flour, 1871 per cent; corn meal,

THE state income tax law is but a
hatcheries, and taxeaters reason that if
we can propagate fish through artificial
means, they can propagate their species
through the same means; so they de-
vised the income tax law for that pur-
pose. Has it worked satisfactorily?
Ask the taXeaters, every one of whom
recommends it in the highest terms.

Despite the predictions of conser

not only the pretty dresses for card

New Iork-Tub dresses are Just
now a fascinating topic and charm
ing examples of linen, cotton wolfe
ond crepe, and a long list of other
delightful hot weather fabrics are
presenting their claims to considera-
ton. Women who are devoting these
quiet lenten days to the preparation
OF their summer wardrobes are really
finding It difficult to make choice
among the bewildering variety of ma
terials offered for the necessary tub
frock. For once length of purse has
little to do with the possibility of
adding a suitable number of these
needful dresses to the outfit, for new
er before in the. history of textiles
has this class of goods been so rea-
sonable nor so beautiful. Prints and
woven fabrics alike are more ar
tistic in design than ever and the
allover embroideries seem to take on
new beauties each week. Made up
into simple one-piece frocks they
need few accessories to proclaim
them Mt for the adornment OF beauty.
Grace is impaired by skillful cut, and
the rest of their charm is due to the
loveliness of material.
In the first illustration we have q
new tub frock which needs no encom-
iuns to recommend it. A fine quail
ity of linen forms the body of the
dress and the fronts of skirt and
waist are made OF handsome alloveI
embroidery. Front and sleeves are

In figure two we have a lovely taf-
feta coat suit built to wear at the
southern resorts. Its color is the
pink known as faded pink" dull,
unobtrusive rose color that has all
the charm of that shade without any
OF its tendency to glare. Collar ana
cuffs are of black satin braided with
a heavy white cord and the inset sec
ton on the skirt is also of black sat
in. The hat worn with this suit is
fine black Milan sailor simply trim
med about the crown with folds OF
chiffon in shaded stripes of black,
white and faded pink, and a black
feather cockade at the left side.
An attractive feature of this skirt
is the opening at the bottom of the
inset section which is left unbuttoned
for six or seven inches, displaying a
dainty silken petticoat at every step.
This style first appeared in Paris last
year and its decorative possibilities
appealed at once to the lovers OF
pretty clothes. Perhaps one reason
for it's ready adoption was that wo-
straight, severe skirt of recent sea-
sons, and are ready to welcome any
thing in the way of novelty. Further
departures from the simple line are
being shown now in the slightly bout
FAINT skirts which seem to predict a
return to paniers and Dolly Warden
draperies. AS yet, the fullness has
not appeared on the hips but takes
its stand near the knees where the
skirt bulges out on the sides above
narrow section which hangs with
out ripples from the knees to the
floor. In voiles or soft fabrics which
fell in just the right folds, the draped
shirts are not unattractive, but in
silk or heavier material they can
scarcely be called graceful. AS yet
they have not been adopted by any
but the ultra-fashionable, but in
these days of swift changes it is un'

Only for the presence of two tramps in the Windsor Locks lookup Thursday night, desperate attempt by Austin Slocum to end his life by cutting his throat would have been successful. He was put in the cell early in the evening at his own request to be put up for the night. He drew a small penknife from his pocket and began to slash away at his throat, The tramps noticed his con dition and called for assistance, but he had drawn the knife clear across his throat before could be stopped.
 He said that he had been friendly with another mans wife, and that the man, who is now in jaib had said that he would take his life, and that he feared him, as he was about to be liberated.
