"A Word About Buying Lumber,
MilIwork and Building Supplies

The best managers all over the country are
realizing that the safest and most comfor-
table way to invest money is in building and
improving right at home.
In this connection, it is time will spent to
consider the actual values received for each
dollar spent for Lumber, Mill Work and
Building Supplies.
We believe that it pays we'll to compare our
prices and grades, as we are carrying large
and carefully selected stocks of Lumber,
Shingles, Laths, Flooring, Siding, Ceiling.
Sash, Doors, Blinds, Moulding, Cement,
Lime, Wall Plaster, Etc, which we buy
direct from the biggest producers in large
Quantities and handle at the lowest cost to
our customers.
We will complete large addition to our
new mill about April 1st, which, with a
number of new machines and an increased
force of skilled mechanics, will enable US to
turn out a much larger quantity and better
class of special mill work.
We can save you money. We can ship you
satisfactory material. We can ship it prompt
ly. You can prove this to your own salts
faction by looking over our stock and then
comparing our prices, and we would greatly
appreciate your doing this.

Grade Crossing Killings.

SO often are automobiles struck by rail-
road trains at grade crossings nowadays
tsat the items seldom attract NUN at
tention in the r,sws columns. In Tues
Gays Star was a dispatch from Aurora,
H.. stating in six lines of print that a
fast passenger express on the Northwest
ern railroad had struck motor car at
crossing near Geneva, Ill, killing two
men and woman and fatally injuring
THIRD man. Probably In the vicinity of
this tragedy it has caused a severe shock
10 the public and there will doubtless be
an inquest and q determination of the
facts. but there is little chance of 2ny
remedial action following. In all likeli-
hood the railroad company will contend
that the motorists should have taken ex-
ceptional precautions before crossing the
tracks. This is the usual argument of
steam railroad corporations when lives
are sacrificed at grade crossings, even at
points where there are 'pretenses OF pub
lie safeguarding in the form of fraii
barriers and fiagmen. and at which care
lessness on the part Of the company serv-
ants has left the crossing unprotected.
Ii will continue TO be the successful de-
tense of railroad companies as long as
state legislatures refrain from passing
laws positively requiring the abolition or
all grade crossings. Until the highways
are carried over the rails by bridges or
under them by subways accidents VIII
continue at such points 1t really matters
little TO the public whether the specific
responsibility rests with the victims or
with the railroad companies. The fact
that counts is that conditions are being
continued that are obviously dangerous
and that cannot be made safe by any So
called precautions short of the depres-
sion or the elevation OF the highway. II
the courts would hold in all cases or
grade crossing deaths that responsibility
presumably rests upon the railroad for
failing to maintain effective and reliable
barriers legislation Of the right sort would
follow quickly. As the law now stands
or is interpreted the expectation that the
highway user will stop. look and listen
operates to postpone the truly remedial
acticn tina, must be taken In this coun-
try sooner or later.

Mr.. La Toilette continues curious on
the subject of Mr. Roosevelts campaign
fund. Who are putting up? What
amounts? With what object or objects
in view?
Interest is widespread. The Badger
statesman voices what is in many minds,
but is particularly and appropriately
uppermost in his own mind. So far as
this campaign is concerned. he considers
himself the original republican progress
i've. He was active in the movement
while Mr. Roosevelt was hunting big
game in Africa. He had made what ap
peared to him as progress when Mr..
Roosevelt in q New York state cor,ven-
ton Endorsed the Taft administration,
and, later. when in q personal letter Mr..
Roosevelt discouraged all mention Of his,
Roosevelt's, name in connection with
opposition to Mr.. Taft for denomination.
And yet neither George w. Perkins nor
any Of his associate angels" spread a
wing in his behalf. Mr.. La Follstte does
not understand this. Why did not the an
gelic progressives, OF the progressive
angels. f1utter in his behalf If progress for
anybody but themselves was the object?
Why did they pick Mr.. Roosevelt for
leader, and fill his strong box with coin
in quantities. Mr. La Toilette thinks
there was a reason. and he respectfully
asks for light Of Mr.. Roosevelt himself,
who ought to be able to shed it.
Mr. Roosevelt is thoarse from uttering
three cries.. % Thou shalt not steal"
And yet an effort was made with his
knowledge and consent to steal over q
hundred votes from the south at Chi
cago; and had the effort succeeded he
would have controlled the convention.
But II was so raw" the Roosevelt men
on the national committee would not

He is for the determination OF all bosses
