Buttons

Buttons are vicious, bone headed
articles, which are continually re.
leasing their hold without any
warning whatever and rolling under
the darkest corner of the bed.
This disgusting habit is common
TO the bone cellar button, which
will catch a man in a full dress
shirt aud a nervous hurry aud make
him crawl undera low.hung chiffon.
Ter with murder in his heart.
Buttons were unheard Of until
somebody with criminal instincts
came along and draped man in his
first pair of pants. History relates
that the buttonless age was the
happiest epoch harassed man has
ever known. From that time to
this he has had to gear up his trous-
ers with safety pins, wire nails, lag
screws aud patent rivets, while his
wife attends the Shakespeare club
aud holds forth on mural art.
Then DAVID Livingston went to
darkest Africa with a diary and a
collection of buttons and spoiled
the peace and happiness Of the male
members of the community by IN.
Producing them to the American
pants button. A first the natives
wore these buttons IN their ears and
noses, giving them the weird effect
of a walking clam bake, but now
you can travel from one end Of
Africa to the other and see nothing
but peg top pants strung in half
hearted manner with the round,
open faced buttons of an effete
CIVILIZATION.
Some men are able to dispense
with suspender buttons by surround
ing themselves with leather belt,
which allows the trousers to drag
gracefully on the ground and sag
with every passing breeze. Thin
men wear both belt and suspcnders,
in order to be on the safe side.
Women wear buttons for the
sole purpose of embittering their
husbands, who are obliged to chase
up and down the back of a shirt
waist several times a day. This is
one of the penalties of marriage
which is causing many a thought
ful bachelor to falter on the brink.

Senator Henry Kromrey of Sheboy-
gan. announces his candidacy for state
treasurer. Mr.. Kromrey is a clever
fellow. Aside from ordinary requisites
he possesses two additional qualifca-
tions in these days of disloyalty to
party: First, and essential, he obeyed
orders and voted against county option
in the legislature; and second, as chair
man of the republican state central COM
mittee. he used the prestige of the
place to defeat regularly nominated re-
publicans. This is modern politics, and
possibly friend KromreY ought rot to
be even chided.

A CHANCE TO SPEND MONEY
AND TINE

All progressive republicans are irvit-
ed to attend a meeting of the Seventh
CoDgre zssonal District to be held in
Magow'S opera house, Camp Douglas,
Juneau county, Wisconsin, at Ave
O'Clock D. M, Thursday, January 18Th,
1912, for free and open discussion
and expression of opinion relative 10
the congressional campaign and con
gressioral candidates in said district
for 1912
Anyone wishing to attend will take
the Milwaukee train Thursday morn
ing at 1000. arriving at Camp Douglas
IN time for the meeting. Can be back
at Viroqua Friday morning.
COMMITTEE
The CENSOR presurnes that every
man who understands the English ian
guage win be able to read between the
lines that the above call gives notice
that candidate for congress will be
named at the meeting stated. That il
is plainly the purpose of the men who
are anxious aspirants for the honor, as
we interprete it. and leaves little ques-
ton of doubt. It is but few years
since that very many of the same men
now in this move made the welking ring
with their shouts and protests and ex-
CARNATIONS of ring and boss rule and
domination when the regular republican
COMMITTEES of this district, at the insti-
cation of Congressman Babcock, called
a nominating convention for early
March Now the nomination is to be
pulled off in January, and at the beck
and call Of the men who SO vigorously,
with tears in their voices, then de-
nounced methods much fairer than those
they now propose. Mr.. Babcock, bad
as we all painted him, had some degree
of consideration for the voters per-
hitting them to meet in their local
neighborhoods and villages and there
register their choice. Now, if arepib-
lican desires to have voice in naming
the candidate he must travel to Camp
Douglas, distance of 1876 miles, pay
railroad fare, hotel bills and lose from
one to two days time. We ask the pro-
moters of this scheme if it represents
either the principle or spirit of the pri-
mary election law? We invite any adj
ivocate of the proposition to defend his
position, and the columns of the CEN
soR are open to him for that purpose.
To pretend that this is merely con-
ference is begging the question and per-
verting the truth, for it is plain that
the instigators intended it to be con-
vention in reality, if not in name The
men back of the move are hustling like
trojans and urging their partisans and
friends to be on hand, each seeking all
the advantage an Endorsement of this
nature means. Under the primary
system this will limo comparative sense
be fair expression of the republican
voters of the district. Under the sec
ond-choice voting provided by the new
law, it will not longer be contended that
a certain principle cannot be repre-
sented ano carried out because of a
multiplicity of candidates representing
that principle, Then why this unusual
haste in nominating a candidate for
congress more than eight months in adj
vance of the primary election the time
when the. law saws candidates shall be-
nominated by full and free choice?

The CENSOR has no candidate fer the
congressional honor. 1T does not know.
neither does it care, who may be as
'pirants. II simply calls attention of
voters to this unusual proceeding, be
cause it is unfair to the great body@of
republicans who have neither time nor
disposition to be called away from their
farms, homes and shops in the dead Of
winter and travel to Camp Douglas if
they would have the expressing Of a
choice between men for an important
office. The CENSOR was among those
who most vigorously protested against
mid-winter conventions and Babcock
methods. The same, and far worse
practices, by men protesting higher and
etter political methods and ideals are
manifestly more .eprehensible. Mr..
Babcock made no profession to being a
political angel with sproutiDg wings.
And if this be fair declaration OF lat
ter-day progressive politics the ghost
of Babcock may come stalking back to
take pointers of the new tactics. In
this no disrespeet is meant for the dead.
