The governor has appointed II
extra game wardens to serve 90
days and draw $500 per day and
expenses. The purpose of their
appointment is apparent and it is
only a question as to how long the
taxpayers of Wisconsin will stand
the imposition.

The insurgents in congress are
responsible for the disruption and
destruction of the republican party,
While masquerading as republi-
cans, they have joined hands with
the democrats in defeating every
measure proposed for carrying out
the pledges of the republican party.
The democrats are not to be blamed
for they were not bound by the re-
publican platform declarations.
The insurgents have stabbed the
party to death and are not republic

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Every man who owns a farm or
a home should vote for the candi-
dates who are opposed to the in
come tax be they Republicans or
Democrats. The taxpayers of the
state are already being robbed by
burdensome and exorbitant taxes
to support an army of progressive
tax eaters, and like Oliver Twist,
they cry for more! morel!

Season to Open May 2 and Close Sept.
$40 Games Called For.


e-140 Games Called For.
Davenport, March 1.-THE Three-I
League schedule for 1912 was made
public today by James T.. Hayes, vice
president Of the league. and official
schedule maker. It provides for 140
games in 129 days with the season
opening on May and closing on Sept.
g. It is the most compact document
under which the league has ever played.
1t arranges for q number Of double
headers. and despite the short season
there are seven open dates.
The opening games bring the follow
ing teams together: Decatur at Dav-
export: Danville at Dubuque: Peoria
at Quincy Bloomington at Springfield.
Six days after the opening Of the seas
on each club will have had baseball on
its own grounds. Each team will make
-four trips around the circuit and tho
this increases the mileage, it is con-
sidered advisable. as It removes the
possibility Of the series at home being
too long at any one stay which would
be necessary under the three-trip plan.
The Sunday and holiday dates are
being equally distributed among the
clubs which hase ten Sunday dates at
home, having but one holiday and those
which havs nine Sunday dates having
two holidays. The holiday receipts Will
be pooled this season as has been the
custom in the past The Arst Sunday
that each club plays on its home
grounds there will be q double header
at double admission.
