Sims That Made History.

1t is surely the very irony of cir
cumstance which couples the names
of the Alabama and the Kearsarge
among the twelve American battle.
ships which the secretary of the navy
has reported to congress as no longer
to be regarded as available for the
first line of battle, and necessary to
be replaced by 1920. Not far short
of half a century has passed since
that famous Sunday morning III June
almost as famous in it's assistance
to the making of history as another
June Sunday OF close upon half a
century before which witnessed Wa
terloo-when the Federal war steam
er Kearsarge fought and sank the
Confederate cruiser Alabama in the
roads off Cherbourg. The thrilling
story of the fight was in all mems
mouths for years afterward; and the
Alabama, though under the waves,
proved as perilous a craft for this
country for long subsequently as she
had DONE when afloat, to the north

suited from her existence, indeed,
was to afford the first effective
chance of proving the value of inter-
national arbitration--Wes

The bull moosers held theil. first state convention
in Wisconsin last Wednesday. 1t was the intention
to place full ticket in the field but for reasons not

McGovern combination. To outsiders it seems to
indicate that McGovern and his followers are in
favor of Theodore Roosevelt. While the convention
not failure neither was it bowling success,
it was about between and betwixt. The convention
selected presidential electors pledged to Roosevelt
and Johnson and they will be placed the ballot

THE NATION

The Nation" Aug. 8th., announced that it
would send copies of that paper free for several
weeks to persons not subscribers. The writer
promptly sent in dozen or more names of Wausau
people and, a little later about as many more. Il
is hoped that the recipients have read it with pleas
ure and profit
Edited with exceptional ability it has as con-
tributors some fifty Of the ablest teachers
in American colleges and universities. 1t is nom
partisan, but not neutral 1t has definite opinions
and advocates definite policies, yet treats those who
disagree with respect, and welcomes to its columns
dissenting opinions properly presented. 1t main
tans the highest level of discussion and criticism of
any political and literary paper in America. Public
libraries everywhere accept its criticism of books
hnal 1t is accepted as authority in college debates
No intelligent person read it regularly and
continuously without being greatly helped, both as
to principles and ideals. It is not at all necessary
to agree with it always. Some of the discussions
from which one most strongly dissents often the
most helpful because they make him define his own
thought more clearly and definitely.
Two volumes completed yearly and a full
index is furnished with each One may thus soon
acquire valuable political reference library.
There ought to be at least twenty-five sub

The new Sc, 100000 capitol build
ing of Wisconsin will be the most
handsome structure of its kind in
the United States, according to L.
+. Porter, secretary of the capitol
commission and supervising archi-

Wisconsin capitol the most preten-
tious structures are those of New
York which cost about $40, 600, 600,
and of Pennsylvania, which cost So
900, 900. Neither in size, design or
architectural beauty will either Of
the two eastern buildings exceedthat

New Find of an Old Race.

Tanning Island, in the mid-Pacific
ocean, which was recently purchased
by g. British Canadian syndicate for
use as coaling station, is the scene
Of remarkable discoveries, the news
Of which was brought by the steam
ship Makura, which arrived at Van
couver, B. c., on Dec. 10. Archaeo-
logical explorations have brought to
view indications that the island was
inhabited at some long-agc period by
a race with peculiar skill in architec-
ture. Excavations there have un-
s4rthed a large stone building, so feet
wide and 200 feet long, in the con-
struction of which no mortar was
used, the stones used having been
skillfully mortised together.
Near by this strange structure was
found tomb containing a human
skeleton with a necklace made of the
teeth Of the sperm whale, and of 9TH
er articles, including the skull Of a
dog.

WANT AND MISERY UNDER TAFT

There is disposition of the ardent supporters OF
President Taft in their desperation to say things
which are palpably false, and so apparent they
are simply jokes which provoke only laughter. You
viii hear these wildeyed enthusiasts plaintively
wailing: 'sThe United States has never known
better times than under President Taft. In the
face of this, why do you desert your party now =
This country had panic in 1907 and for five years,
every business man has been wearing troubled
countenance. In some parts of the country, oondi-

AT the recent election in the state of Maine, the
standpat and progressive republicans joined hands
against the democrats in effort to elect the re-
publican governor and state ticket. 1t will be diff

AFTER all, the real significance of the vote in
Vermont recently not the size of the bull
moose vote or the heavy inroads it made into the
regular republican vote, but the splendid showing
made by the democrats, who, in round figures in
creased their strength from 6 900 in 1908 to 20 $50
in 1872 This means that the party not only stood
solid as rock, absolutely united, but it drew to
itself large republican vote.

FORMER Congressman William P. Hepburn of

81 shall not be surprised to see the democrats
make clean sweep in November So far as | am
concerned, will support no man who will not sup
port the Roosevelt ticket, and l think there are
many others of the same mind.
Col. Hepburn is correct in his guess. The regular
republican organization is to knife every egis-
latve candidate who is for Roosevelt, and the third
term party will return the compliment on the Taft
The voters generally, as result, are turning
to the democratic party, and its candidates, as
welcome relief from intoerable condition.

THE COST OF PROTECTION

The whole amount of dutiable merchandise con-
sumed in the financial year 1871 was 1918 759 518,
upon which the duties 1902, 446, 473. Upon
these duties the importers charged their profits
much tpon the original cost, also the jobbers and
the retailers The cost of collecting we estimate at
six per cent; though including all salaries, charges
and interest in government investments, in custom
houses, etc. the expense is doubtless much greater
The matter will stand thus:
Whole amount of duties. 49,. 1902, 446 473
Importers profits 129 per cent. 25, 305810
1921, 1852, 1888
Jobbers' profits u per cent 49,. 1901, 421
1914, 833, 7O4
Retailers profits Is per cent. 36,87505l
Paid by consumers. 1921, 7OS, 755
Received by government ..... 2O2, 446, 473
Extra charge on the people 80. s 79, 262, 282
Or thirty nine per cent. over the gross amount
received by the national treasury, and forty five
per cent. over the net amount after deductng ex-
penses of collection. The estimates of profits is at
low figure, less, probably, than the actual fact.
Thus it seems that the consumer, farmer, labor
ing man, etc, pays the tax not only upon the cost
of the goods but also the freight insurance, the
importers profits, the jobbers profits, and the
retailers profits. The sum of all these 1881 708 755
is the amount of protection given the home manu-
facturer.
