Mars Henry on SpOoner.
In a letter published in Harper s

In letter published in Harper S
Weekly, Henry Watterson says:
Official life in America is not
only too ill-paid, but it is too un-
certain in its tenure, and too de-
pendent upon the ever-changing
fancy of the electorate, reasonably
to tempt any man OF ambition and
capacity who can find and fit HIM
self for some other career. Mr..
Spooner never showed to better ad-
vantage than now, when, returned
to a great profession and earning
a sufficiency, he can snap his I'm
gers at the professional politicians
and serve bis country and his God
according to his conscience.
There is no doubt, but that Hon.
John c. Spooner was by far the
ablest man who ever represented
Wisconsin in the United States
senate. He was honest, true tc
his convictions and practically
driven out of political life by To-
of political whiffets continually
barking at his heels. His retire
ment from the senate was a posi-
tive loss to both the state and ma
ton,

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The federal courts are getting in
good work on the trusts. The mem
bers of the Bath Tub trust were
found guilty of violating the Sher-
man antitrust law and in the ag-
gregate fined S5I, 900 and the head
of the Cash Register trust was
fined S., 900 and sentenced to pris-
on for a term of one year. The on
ly way to stop conspiracies in re-
straint of trade is to send those
proved guilty TO prison. When
men make millions of dollars by
violating the law, a fine of a few
thousand dollars just makes them
smoker, but term in prison at
hard labor takes all the fun out of
their experience.

Instead of amending the law Civ
ing the police and fire commission
the power to fix salaries of police
men, it would be better to amend
the law abolishing such a commits
sion in third and fourth class cities,
and give the mayor the power to

present law, the mayor while held
responsible for the peace and well

law makers, given the public ridi-
cule they richly deserve. 1t is an
absolute fact that over one halt OF
the bills introduced are void of the
slightest degree of merit, while a
majority of those which have be-
come law, are useless and a bur
den to the taxpayers. We are fast
approaching the time when the
man who goes to the legislature
will not be ones who measure their
wisdom by fool bills, but on the
contrary by men of intelligence
who will have the good sense to
tell the voters that their object In
wishing to represent them is to
prevent the enactment into laws
such nonsensical abortions, and to
labor to repeal many of the laws
which now disgrace our statute
books. 1t is a notorious fact that
even an honest, christian man must
from necessity-not choice-be a
law-breaker in the eyes of the pub
lie. The people will get their eyes
opened sooner or later and their
wrath fall upon the false po-
litical gods; whose only thought is

A Milwaukee clergyman asks the
blunt and opportune question:
How many statesmen are there in
Wisconsin," 1t is easily answer
ed: Not one. Those posing as
statesmen are merely self-seeking
politicians. They appeal to the
cupidity, selfshness and hatred of
class against class and thus men of
mediocre abilities keep themselves
in Office. The people are to blame
for listening to demogogues who
are piling up taxes to be squan-
dered in the widest extravaganza.
The voters will awake to the ex-
listing conditions in time and then
there will be a change, and some
hope for statesmen.

Mr.. Jenkins was talking with a

ter than to see them married to

marries Della, who is 40, will have

moment or so and then inquired:

Last week, James A. Patten of
Chicago, the man who cleaned up
a million of dollars by cornering
cotton in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, plead guilty to the
charge before a federal Judge and
was fined 81 900. With a patron
izing smile, he pulled out his check
book, filled out a check for the
amount, handed it to the clerk of
the court and walked out. What a
farce. Had he been sentenced to
pay fine Of 100000 or go to
prison for a term of from five to
ten years, he might not have smiled
so patronizingly when he handed up
his check. The trouble is that men
who make large sums by violating
The law can buy immunity while
the poor devil has to go to prison.

The fact that he has been successful in the past does
