FAIR AND CANDID.

Editor Bridgeman of the Stanley
Republican, who was president of the
Wisconsin Press Association is evident.
ly a fair minded man, Here is an
an article which The Darlington Demo.
crat quotes from his paper:
I'VE may not be in accord with
Democratic policies, but we cannot fail
to admire the consistency of President
Wilson in insisting upon redemption
of Democratic pledges at the earliest
possible moment. With both houses of
congress Democratic he believes that if
Democratic policies are good thing
after while, they will prove to be a
good thing now. There is nothing to
be gained. either by Democrats or
Republicans in attempts to obstruct
this course of the president but the
people should be given what they voted
for even If congress does find it uncom-
Portable in Washington Just now"

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

With persistency and force The Mil
waukee journal is exposing the nefari :
Gus scheme of the special interests to
save the Aldrich tariff law by raising
side issues. Greatly disappointed at the
attitude assumed by the Progressive
Republicans in the present momentuous
struggle over equal rights and special
privileges The Journal makes plain
beyond a peradventure that it is their
bounden duty to support reasonable
tariff reduction, which is what the
Underwood bill is and calls upon
them to help the Democratic majority
as the Democratic majority helped them
in their fight on Cannon. If the Pro-
gressive Republicans have made mp
their minds to support the Aldrich law
against the Underwood bill, upon some
fimsy excuse or other, all appeals to
them to put patriotism before partisan
ship may be unavailing; but it is well,
nevertheless, to give the voters, to
whom they will have to appeal next
year, good understanding of situation.

Everyone admits that il the Underwood
bill can be passed, they will have re
ceived IA crushing defeat, that never
again will they be able to weld the
enormous and corrupt power that they

tariff bill, free of their influence, will be
blow that will do more than any
other conceivable thing to free govern

THE DUTY OF THE PRESS.

One thought expressed by Professor
S. M. Sanford in his address at the
Peniel celebration ON July 4th The
Democrat would like to put up to
newspaper men of southwestern the
Wisconsin. After drawing graphic
picture of the material greatness of the
United States, he said that the nation
only can be great only as the people
who compose the nation are great.
Then he told his hearers to think great
thoughts and strive for true greatness
of mind and character; and to this end
he told them to take and read news
papers. In this expression the speaker
showed. that he entertains high ideal
of IA newspaper, an ideal which prob.
ably came down to him by tradition in
an eastern or middle state. To his
mind the newspapers do, or should do,
something more than to print the news :
they should exalt the nation. Every
newspaper man, great or small, should
take hold of this thought and do what
he can to promote the interests of his
community, the state and nation. Such
is one important task set before him.
II is noble work.

ELGiN is IN DARKNESS
Electrical Storm Leaves Wreckaqe in
Its Wake.

Elgin, ILL.,, July Am electrical
storm struck Elgin, H., with all the
force of tornado and left a swath
of wreckage in it's wake.
In fact, two storms, one from the
northeast and another from the north
west, met just north of the city and
swooped down upon it in fierce con.
fiict.
Hundreds of trees and telegraph
poles were blown down, houses were
unroofed and steeples and towers
raZed
Water almost knee deep ran through
the city and yet, despite this series
of catastrophies, it could not be learn
ed that a single person in Elgin had
been injured.
AS result of the storm the entire
city was in darkness. The current
supplying light and power was cut off
because of the great tangle of dangling
wires that threatened short circuits
that might cause a conflgration.

company; and as you ask whether have beer

some things saw in that time.

jefferson and protection, strangled by Calhoun
and handed over gagged and bound, to free
Cotton, Slave labor, and English free trade.
| have seen low wages, no home market, all
our vast natural resources nndeveloped, whilst
Europe provided all our manufactured articles,
from mine and factory.

Now England, with the indomitable spirit OF
that people, struggle against this English DEM
ocratic free trade, saved only by the topo'
graphy of their hilly surroundings, where every
stream was harnessed Yes, | have seen our
Wisconsin farmers, ike Bryan O'Lynn, with

No, gentlemen, ! was not asleep, but much
awake indeed, during this somewhat length
ened life of mine. JEREMIAH GUM.
Milwaukee, July 3, 1913.
A good many years ago, for the ben
eft of men like minded to Mr.. Quin,
The Democrat secured, and printed at
length speech delivered by the great
Daniel O'Connell, February "a, 1874,
in opposition to high tariff taxation.
BY clear reasoning OConnell proved
that protection is therefore robbery
robbery of the poor by the rich" And,
addressing his great audience in Con-
vent Garden, London, he said;
Why really it is too bad that you
should be called sensible people and
bear this. |, of course, mean you no
disrespect but there is IA thick headed
ness about it that cannot understand. !"
Daniel O'Connell reasoned correct
ly from cause to effect. But the spoil
alton theory. the same rs held long ago
by the landlords in their fight for the
corn laws, has such II strangle hold on
the mind of our much respected friend
Mr.. Quin that. seeing effects, he goes
wrong every time as to their cause.
He cannot be convinced by argument.
Ephraim is joined to idols: let him
alone. 1t is to be hoped that an object
lesson is close at hand.

THE WASTE PAPER NUISANCE"

Madison recently provided at conven
boxes wherein street refuse may be de-
posted The Democrat of that city
says that good women of clearly pur-
pose and public spirit are back of the
movement, and that their object is a
more beautiful city in one of the lesser,
yet most practical ways. The Demo
crat commends the movement and says
further:
The boxes should be used. No
longer should newspaper, popcorn bag
or banana peel be cast upon street or
sidewalk. The boxes are there. That
necessary part Of useful reform is
accomplished.
The city authorities Of Mineral Point
should encourage like undertaking
here. The placing, ut convenient
points, of boxes as receptacles for street
rubbish would greatly aid in keeping
the city clean and tidy. People will
acquire the habit of using the boxes.
A few years ago baskets for waste
paper were placed in the post Office
lobby here, and the patrons Of the Office
ut once made use of them, and the floor
is no longer Uttered with paper. 1t
will help wonderfully in keeping the
city tidy if a number of boxes are placed
on the principal streets and refuse de
posted therein.
