to celebrities Of one sort or another
who proved themselves amenable to
receptions, banquets, addresses Of
welcome, and what-not, anything to
bring lesser names into print on any
page, tails to any kite. In short, John
Rawn comported himself as promi-
nent citizen should. Ever he was the
kite, never the tail He loomed large
and growing figure in his little world.
Above all, there seemed something
uncanny in the unvarying facility with
which Rawn made money. There is
no real explanation Of the difference
in money-making power, except that
some men make money and some do
not. Rawn did, without any doubt or
question. Not lacking ability and calm
ness in Judgment, and not lacking full
information such as is accorded those
said to be upon the sacred inside Of
the market, he was in and out of Rub
Der. Coppers, Steel, at precisely the
right time. His oil investments in
California, played up and down in
proper symphony, had made him more
than million dollars, smoothly,
easily, simply. The railways market
was an open book to him, and public
utilities seemed something he could
gage while others stood and wondered.
There are times when some men win.
Rawn could not lose, whether he dealt
in Ontario Silvers, Arizona Coppers,
anything he liked. He was in with
the pack when, in these last fierce
days of individual and corporate greed,
it finished pulling down a republic,
and battened, guzzled at the bowels
of the quarry He partook with thes@
of a broad knowledge Of the narrow
ing raw resources Of the country, and
was in with them at the death. He
was one of those to get hold of large
acreages of the passing timber lands,
he was counted with those who sought
the great coal fields for their own; ran
true to scent, with these, the trail OF
monopoly in any commodity which
the people more and more must need.
In the one matter of his relations with
a certain transcontinental railway,
Rawn made a quarter million as his
share of the three-quarters of billion
taken in sales of mineral lands from
the railways land-grant holdings. That
the grants had covered only agricul-
tural lands mattered little, for when
the sleepy government at Washington
reluctantly took the trail, it was
shown law, c,lningly passed few
years earlier, which barred the repub-
lie, by virtue Of a six-year statute of
limitations, from recovering any of its
own property! John Rawn often
laughed over that. He laughed also
when the suckers" as they called
them, bit just as eagerly at irrigation
as they had at mines. He often laughed
it was all so ridiculously easy to
pull down a country, when the run
ming was in good company! He was
prominent citizen.

At caucuses and more especially at
spring elections, while the polls are
temporarily closed to give place to local
town affairs, and transaction of necess-
AIRY business, the room being full,
many, are compelled to stand out side
no matter how much they are interest

At such times the sentiment of those
out side is unanimous for l.rger room.
A move has been made to take ad-
vantage of the right of the town to
hold all town meetings in the city and
the question will be put up to the
citizens of the town at the coming cleo
ton to procure suitable quarters CON
vcniently located within the city to
hold all elections and town meetings
in.
This is n move in the right direction
and we hope that it will succeed.

VOTING Taxes For State Aid Work.

The state highway commission is
sending out to town chairmen and town
clerks form of resolution for voting
state aid road and bridge taxes for
work to be constructed in 1914. These
taxes must be voted ut this springs
town meeting or at special meeting
held before September LIST.
The commission points out that The
legislature has passed almost unani
mously the bill making good the $500,
600 deficit In state aid for this year s
work. which indicates that its policy
toward lequate appropriations for l0li
and 1918 will be Il generous one.
1t is customary to vote state aid taxes
by resolution at the same hour that
other town business is taken up and not
to vote by ballot, though both courses
are legal.
II is believed that votes for state aid
in 1014 will show an increase over the
votes for 1913, which were almost dou
Bile those for 1919. The movement for
better roads in Wisconsin il gaining
tremendous impetus under the new
state aid law, and it is now the leading
state in the Middle West in modern
road and bridge construction,

CONGRESS REACHES
SQUEEZING" STAGE
OF THE LAST SESSION
Much Important Legislation
Must Be Crowded Into
Three Weeks-"Finish
ing Up"

Washington, February 9.-Congress
has reached the Squeezing" stage OF
the session. Important legislation that
has accumulated during the last two
years must be crowded into the work
of the next three weeks and must take
its chances of success In the jam of
appropriation bills still to be consid-
cred. Active managers of the two
houses who bear the responsibility of
getting things through consequent
ly are wearing troubled looks and won
dering how much actual business can
be transacted in the few remaining
working days before March a.
II is not an unusual situation at the
end Of short session but experience
of former years apparently has had
little influence on the handling OF the
big supply measures this session, there
remaining to be considered appropria-
lions for nearly billion dollars worth
Of public expenditures.
An important element In the end of
the session rush this year is the fact
that the leaders in both houses are so
much engrossed with plans for the
coming extra session as with details of
the dying one.
