Footing The Bills.

For several years the people have
been told that Wisconsin was an eX-
pertinent field IN political and social
science-that the state was being made
a political laboratory for the nation.
Great stress vas laid upon the fact
that 1.-THE Wisconsin idea was adver-
Using the state far and wide that, in
fact, the eyes OF the whole world we're
turned in the direction OF the Badger
commonwealth, and that our progress
was being watched with view OF imi-
tation by others.
1t seems that in order to carry out
"the Wisconsin idea" it was necessary
for the reform" republican state ad-
mlnistration 10 create nc less than
fifty one boards and commissions. Ma
turally, the jealous members OF the
various boards and commissions took
pains TO promote their special endeav-
ors, not letting the matter OF cost hamp.
er them whatever. There was research
work, costly Investigations by expert,
ami yoluminous reports printed at the
expense of the state. Some idea Of
the total expense Of exploiting "tht
Wisconsin idea" may be gained wher
it Is known that expenses OF the state
government of Wisconsin in the las
Ten years have increased from $1,000,
600 TO sl3, 900, 900, and show no signs o.
diminution, and this In the face OF the
fact that this immense expenditure il

crease of population or business.
Realizing the injustice of this heavy
burden that has been placed upon the
taxpayers of Wisconsin, the democrat
ic party at its recent convention took a
decided stand for business adminis-
tration of state affairs. The democrat
ic platform on this point says: "We
demand that the expenses be radically
diminished by reducing the large army
of office holders and employees, and by
limiting the expenses to the necessary
and strictly public purposes OF state
government administered according to
business methods, instead of wasting
the same for the benefit of administra-
ton favorites. y
1t is certainly to the interest of the
taxpayers to give effect to this plank
by making it the will of the people at
the polls. a vote for Judge Karel and
the other candidates on the democratic
state ticket is vote for economy in
state government. Hartford Times.

Repudiate Them.

Any and every good republican is
thoroughly justified in voting the state
democratic ticket this year because Of
McGovern's base desertion of the ma
tional republican ticket Give Nc
Govern and his band of boilers taste
of their own medicine and let them see
how they like it. But that is not the
only reason. 1t is pretty near time we
had governor and legislature, who
will quit squandering The peoples
money on these up in the air, pro-
gressiye schemes. 1t is costing the
taxpayers fearfully to keep house with
such expensive help. They waste a
thousand times what they earn. Did
you notice that nowhere in their high
blown platform did they say word
about an economical administration of
State affairs? They know better than
to mention that. But this is a big
question to the taxpayer. 1t shows
you what it means so put men in Office
who have neither party loyalty nor
loyalty Of any other kind. Progress
sive treachery" is their watchword.

On Aetna,

Acting Is not a trade which tends
to stability and dignity of character,
but encourages sensibility and flashes
of warm instinct. Extreme alertness
to praise and blame, tremendously
combined with vanity and absorption
in one topic, are almost a necessity of
the occupation; but this existence,
however narrow and distorted, has the
primal virtues of vividness and vital
ity. 1t not only depicts human pas
sions, but 1t also requires in it's serv-
ants varied and constantly ready
fund of emotions and instincts. Lack
ing the free air of independence and
impartial thought, 1t has to the full
the warm breath of crude but passion
ate humanity. In feeling, however
blind, in life, however fragmentary, the
onlooker finds more to love in the
players world than in all the dead
decorum of Philistine prosperity

Hiram johnson, the candidate for
vice president on the third term tic
ket made speech recently in which
he said:
'Do not for minute consider presi-
dent Taft in this race. He is an egIigible
quantity. 1t is with shame as an
American citizen that | say that today
the most humiliating character in all
American history is the president.
This outburst caused the Philadel-
phia Ledger to call Johnson "a lying
hypocrite and an assassin of character. "
This is only magnifying johnson.
President Tdit's character cannot be
assassinated by man OF Johnson S

II man is really looking for wife

or a chorus girl, we heartily recon-
mend for his consideration telephone
girl. For even temper, patience,
promptness and meekness, telephone
girls have the world beaten. They are
girls with practical ideas and common
sense; they are girls who will help
you save your money and make you an
all-around housewife. We have never
seen one that wasn't neat and clean,
and they would very probably be the
most orderly housekeepers you could
get. And one of the greatest virtues
is their ability to control their tongues.
They are accustomed to being quarrel
ed at and bemeaned, yeU they are not
moved to an outburst thereby. We
know they are sometimes imposed up
on and are seldom rated at their true
worth. II you are in need of a good
wife, get a telephone girl.-Howard
