They are Not Honest.

Are the southern democrats hon.
est? Last Fall the southern stales
went overwhelming democratic on
platform which declared une-
quivocally for a tariff for revenue
only, and now their representa-
tlves IN congress are opposing the
reduction of the tariff on each and
every article produced n t h e
south. They are perfectly willing
that there should be reduction on
all northern manufactured goods
which do not come in competition
with southern products They in
sist upon retaining a high duty on
sugar, rice, lemons and oranges;
and yet have howled for a tariff for
revenue only and having secured
the power to carry out their party
pledges, now change front a n d

honest i'll their protestations of an
interest in the welfare of the people
and desire to reduce the high

On With the Dance.

On with the dance, let Joy be
unconfined. When progressives
tso-called) get to clawing each
other over matters of no import
ance to the public, it demonstrates
the smallness of the men the voters
have intrusted with power as their
servants. First, Gov. McGovern
fires Ekern, insurance commission
er, for being too previous in work
ing for the election of a man for
speaker who was antagonistic to
the governor. The governor then
appoints Louis Anderson, an actu-
airy In the office of the insurance
commissioner, as commissioner in
place of Ekern removed. Then
Ekern fires Anderson and there are
mighty strained relations at the
state capitol, and the force there
are taking sides and think each
other no better than they ought to
be. In the opinion of the writer,
both exhibited a woeful lack of
tact and gratitude, Ekern in oppos-
ing his chief and discharging An
derson, and the governor in getting
peeved over so small matter as
Ekern, and the whole matter is ex-
tremely childish. Since the inaug-
uration of our benehcent primary
election system, small men have
forged to the front, who, under the

Blu Sum Asked For.

President Van Hise of the State
University is not asking for much.
He does not realize that the taxes
in this state are very high and be-
coming exceedingly burdensome.
He only wants the legislature to
appropriate the sum of $500, 900
for additional builds as follows:
A students infrmarv, $50, 900;
commons and union for men, $50,
600; two mems dormitories, $780,
600; equipment, 500, 900; model
high school, s45, 900; liberal arts
building, $3.50, 600; physics build
ing and labratory, S235,ooo; agri-
cultural buildings and equipment,
$685. 900; engineering shop and
equipment, SOS, 900; medical build
ing, 5000, 900; military drill hall,
SIS, 900.
When it is considered that less
than one per cent OF the young
people Of this state attend the uni
versity and the other ninety-nine
per cent of our young people re-
ceive their education in the rural
and high schools, it rather looks as
If about two thirds of the annual
expense of the university might be
cut out and the colleges of the
masses helped.

Uncle Sam is beginning to won

without the parcel post.
For Mr.. Bryan to accept the
post of Ambassador to the court of
St. James might be construed as a
confession of plutocratic means.

Turkey is to keep a foothold in
Europe, but there is no guaranty

Sometimes it has seemed that the
Government was being excessively
polite about serving that subpoena
on William Rockefeller.
Hon. George Wickersham has
dropped his suit against the coffee
trust as he has found that there
were no grounds.
Congress has appropriated $751;
900 for the protection of lite and
property during the Inauguration.
What are those democrats going to
pull off anyway?
LIE all the people who flock to the
White House receptions to shake
hands with President Taft had
voted for him, he would have been
reelected by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Speaking of the difficulties in the
way of Wilson's plan to obliterate
sectional lines, we have heard of
some of those sweet Dixie girls
who are such unreconstructed reb-
els that they won't even wear
union suit.
At present Mr.. Wilson seems to
be what Disraeli said Gladstone

exalted office may save him.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Senator Warren of Wyoming, is
now having his troubles. For
years, the company of which he is
the head, has had $4,000 acres of
government land unlawfully en-
closed for sheep run. During
the administration of one, Roose-
welt, and his splendid secretary of
the interior, one, R. A. Ballinger,
special agents from the interior de-
partment reported an infraction of
the law, but no attention was paid
to their reports nor any action TAX
en- except to remove District Attor-
ney Burke and the two special
agents who made h reports.
During the Roosevelt and Ballinger
administrations any special agent
who reported attractions of the law
against unlawful Enclosure of pub
lie lands, were told to mind their
own business or get out, provided
the parties guilty of such lnfrac-
tons had a political pull. Congress
is now investigating Warren and it
is hoped, that oil the facts relative
to the conditions which have OBJ
tanned in the interior department
the past few years will be made
public and justice be accorded to
the men who tried to do their duty.
In caption to an editorial, the
Milwaukee Journal makes the in
quiry: d o t e People Rule?"
Why certainly they do, esteemed
Journal. Haven't we a primary
election system in this state that
has eliminated bosses and given
the minority a chance to rule? A
few years ago boss rule was simply
awful. We had a boss who took
the people into his confidence, who
was true to his party, harbored no
resentments, contributed literally
OF his means toward the success of
his party and was loyal to his
friends. We now have a boss who
only thinks of self, has aided and
abetted the defeat OF his party, is
disloyaI to friends, abuses every
man ahead of him and drops excre-
ment upon every man below him.
Do the People Rule?' Not to
any great extent at the present
time In either state or nation, but
the voters are awakening to the
political conditions prevalent in
Wisconsin. Party alignments are
disappearing and the voters becom-
ing independent.

Chicago address, spoke words of

A tariff for revenue only, with
out incidental protection, the differ
ence of the cost of manufacture
abroad and at home, would be det-
rimental to the American artisan
and operative, and reduce his pay
in proportion to the difference. The
writer favors a reduction of the
tariff, but not to the extent of clos
ing home industries.
