robbery when the Butter Trust,
through its Elgin "grab," advan-
ces the price of that necessary COM
modify to the prohibitive price OF
Is cents per short-weight pound,
as it did on Tuesday. 1t breaks
all records and looks as if this 81
gantic trust were trying to hold
the people up and tax them the ut
termost. And still they tell us q
butter trust does not exist. Ihis
trust has curried favor SO silently
and smoothly with legislative bod
ies-the Wisconsin CD reform
propaganda not excepted-that 1t
has become the worst robber trust
in existence today, the beef trust,
the oil trust, the wool trust, ETC.,
not excepted, for with the latter,
while they have tried to control
the markets, they have not dellb-
erately robbed the public by quot
ing price that are prohibitive to 90
per cent of the people. It's not a
butter trust? Then it's something
q blamed sight worse. It's legal
lied steal, repeated with en-
phasis, permitted to exist by our
dear law makers who are yelling
themselves hoarse over far lesser
evils. The writer likes to preach
and believes the doctrine of broth

would delight to swat" the gang
that controls the Elgin market and
names the price we must pay-li
we have the price. 1t seems that
the only rebuke, and possible rem
edy, is the adoption of this uni
versal household phrase: Pass

M IS Perdue Speaks.

A meeting was held Wednesday even
ing at the Masonic Temple under the
auspices of the Saturday Club, there
being quite a number in attendance
but not as many as should have been
considering the object of the meeting.
An address was delivered by Miss Rose
Perdue of Milwaukee, who has done
grand work in that city for the protec
ton and moral welfare Of working girls.
In her address, she showed the import
ance of throwing safe gurds around the
young women of our city who work in
stores, factories, etc., and how their best
interests could be accOn,p ished and heI
advice should be followed

Should Have Guardians.

Three brothers, Walter, Edward and
and Frank Peck, residing on 800 acre
farm near Altwater, were tried yester-
day before Justice Stacy on the charge
of cruelty to animals, the complaint
having been made by Gus Frellson of
Milwaukee, superintendent of the Bad
ger State Humane society. From the
testimony presented, one would almost
be compelled to infer that the brothers
are not in their right minds and should
have guardian appointed to take care
of them and their property. County At
torney C. A. Kadlng prosecuted and J.E.
Malone defended.

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly by
wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water, dust, even food. But grand
protection is afforded by Electric Bitters,
which destroy and expel these deadly
disease germs from the system. That's
why chiIls, fever and ague, all malarial
and many blood diseases yield promptly
to this wonderful blood purifier. Try
them, and enjoy the glorious health and
new strength they'll give you. Money
back, if not satisfied. Only SOC at the
Gamm Corner Drug Co.

tory of the state was there greater

The government has for years
been helping the wool, cotton,
steel, tobacco and sugar barons at
the expense of the people, and the
cheese men are justified in asking
for government aid. But, it seems
to the writer, that the government
should aid the carpenters, masons,
blacksmiths, shoemakers, painters
and other mechanics, who need
help more than those who have be-
come immensely rich by robbing
the laboring class by reason of pro-
hibitive tariff, class who may be
forced to unite with the Socialists
in order to help themselves.
Gov. McGovern, in defence Of
the last legislature, enumerates the
laws enacted, but fails to show
wherein they have been of any
benefit to the people or that any
economy had been effected. The
fact is, and the governor knows it,
as a great major ty of the people
know, that most of the laws en-
acted imposed additional taxes and
created positions for a lot of re-
formers whose services are entire
ly unnecessary.
The reformers in this county
should be happy. Under the re-
form regime, the state tax for this
county has Jumped from $4,000
to 500, 900 approximately, with
nothing to show for it, except an
army of state employees travelling
around at state expense interfering
with the legitimate business pur-
suits of the people.
In order to be a good republico-
Democo insurgent, it appears nee
essary to accept La Toilette with
all his vagaries in matters of po-
litical nature, however senseless
they may be and not think for ones
self, but Just bow down and yell,

er.
