The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-02-14

WoUNDING an enemy in war is better
than killing him, for unless he is cap
tured it imposes on his side the burden
of taking care of him The Balkan
war has again proved that the bullet
of the modern high-pow rife with it's
terrific speed will go straight through
man, penetrating the most vital or
gans, without killing him; and it has
even been found to go through from
four to six men, one behind the other.
This pnts them out Of the fight, but at
the same time it is good thing for
the fighter, for it gives him far bet
ter chance for his life From the Feb
ruary Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-02-14

THE amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for national in
come tax received the endorsement of
a sufficient number of states to make
it effective and now all that remains is
to put it into operation. 1t is estimat-
ed by those capable of passing judg-
ment that it will amount annually to at
least 500, 000,000if not more, enough
to fill the hole in the national treasury
that may result from a radical reduc-
ton of import duties. AS we have an
income tax in this state to raise money
unnecessarily to be squandered, which
has obtained under wise progressive
administration, it will mean double
taxation in great many cases and
mean robbery under the form of law.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-02-14

CARE of sick people in travelling is
the object of a bill introduced in the
assembly by Assemblyman A. E. Fred
erick. The bill provides that every
railroad in Wisconsin operating over
fifty miles of road shall provide place
and apparatus in it's baggage car
through which sick or injured passeng-
ers can be cared for. The room pro-
vided shall be adequate for one patient
and two nurses, and such other equip
msnt shall be provided as the state
board of health may specify. The bill
is designed particularly for the aid of
sick people on their way to hospitals.

The Witch-Hunters Again.

Of course, Gov. McGovern cannot
have the germof notion that his mes
sage setting the senate right as to its
authority over his official acts will
make the slightest difference to the
witch-hunters of that body.
He knows, as does every citizen of
sense, that the Ekern affair is merely
an excuse for their investigation, that
it's sole inspiration is the La Toilette
wrath against the governor, and its OBJ
iect, the latter's chastisement.
The question once more is whether
the state will stand idly by and permit
so heathenish a farce under the guise
of a serious investigation; farce that
serves no public end, but wastes the
time and money of the taxpayer to glut
,Ihe revenge of the Unsuitable hater
down at Washington.
Ones feelings toward the governor,
ones opinion on the Ekern case, ones
political affiliations should not enter
into the Judgment of the sober and SEN
sible citizen Such elements of the
controversy raised by the governor S
removal of Mr.. Ekern as are Suscepti-
BILE to question will be passed upon by
the courts. The question, therefore,
is wholly whether or not the people
should continue to countenance the use
of a branch of the legislature as the
personal political tool of any one man.
If Senator La Toilette wants tt
'.get'' McGovern for his support Of
Roosevelt, for being an alleged stumbl
ing block to his own future plans; if he
desires to proceed with that petty pol
lev of humiliation which he instituted
during the late campaign, let him d.
that in the open political arena, man tt
man, and no one will deny him the
right.
But against his continued use ant
prostitution of local governments
agencies as shelter for his undermin
ing games, public opinion should vigor
ously assert itself.
Without so much as an excuse of
public end, with no inspiration excep
that of personal political dominance
this practice is vitiating alike to tn
public morals and to the efficiency 0
the government.
A state that tolerates it can no long
er lay claim to be considered free.

Announcement for Superintendent.
For nearly four years | have worked
with many Rock county citizens to inn
prove the schools of the whole county.
Each one of you knows the difficulties
in his own district, and that in many
places much improvement has been
made.
Your friendship and good will have
helped me to get close to the real con-
ditions and needs in each district, aid
ing me in the past and fitting me for
still better service hereafter, just as
years of experience help in any bust

superintendent, knowing that so many
of you appreciate the faithful, hard
work I have done for our schools.
Perhaps you all know my life and
work, wholly in Rock county: as boy
on the farm and in the country school,
as a teacher of country schools, as
farmer for years when duty called me
to the farm, as student working
through Beloit college until graduated
in 1900, then as a teacher in Clinton
high school, and as superintendent of
schools until now.
With the record of work done, with
the friendly acquaintance Of thousands
of children, teachers and people in the

tinued as the superintendent, I come
to you, thanking you for your past sup
port, and respectfully asking for your
