I'm the LiTT1eIigs1t.

A recent investigation hasI resulted
in the conclusion that more people are
coming to the cheap land disticts of
upper Wisconsin than to any other
state. This is coincident with the ac-
tivity of the Wisconsin Advancement
association in advertising the state and
giving to homeseekers statements as to
the comparative productiveness of this
state and others that are advertising.
1t is owing also to the fact that irriga
tion is oead, dry farming has largely
failed and the reports coming from
western Canada are anything but in
viting. 1t Is owing also to the fact
that the government reports for some
time have shown Wisconsin to lead all
the states in the percentages on this
years crops. All these things tend to
sand people to Wisconsin. The current
is now towards Wiconsin and it will be
as difficult to divert it as it was to
start it this way. 1t means millions to
Wisconsin.

IRONWOOD POLICEMAN SHOT
AND DIES IMMEDIATELY
Tragedy Occurred Last Sunday After
noon at the Home of Tony Longhini
at the Newport.

Harry Strike, a we'll known Iron
wood resident, was shot accidentally
last Sunday afternoon and few MON.
ents after expired.
Harry Strike was employed as a
special police at the Newport mine To-.
cation, which position he has held for
number of years. While on his beat
Sunday afternoon he was called into
the home of Tony Longhim to look at
some partridge which the latter had
just brought home from a hunting
trip. Mr.. Strike entered the home,
sat down on a chair and entered into
the conversation with MIR. Longhini
and a number Of other neighbors
When Mr.. Longhili arrived home he
took the gun which he had used hunt
ing apart and laid it on the table in
the room in which he and MIR. Strike
and the others were seated. The story
is that Mr.. Longhini 8 son, lad about
seven years of age, was also in the
room and that while the boy was en-
gagged IN assembling the gun it was
discharged. Mrs Longhini was stand
ing between the table where the gun
was lying and Mr.. Strike. The bullet
passed very near her, going through
the folds of her apron. and struck Mr..
Strike above the heart and causing al
most instant death, the bullet evident
ly striking an artery. The gun which
caused this tragedy was a 22-caliber
rifle, thus showing that even this little
arm is dangerous.
The deceased is survived by a wife
and six children. He had been q re-
sdent Of Ironwood for many years and
was known to a great number of Hur-
ley people.

Will Make improvements.

The following is a copy of a letter
written by C. A. Sctwarm. president
of the Ironwood Gas Company to 0.
c. Johnson, superintendent
Oct II. 1913.
At a meeting of the board of direct.
ors heIi yesterday, a resolution was
passed authorizing the construction OF
coal gas plant in which improvements
will aggregate an expenditure of ap-
proximately $25, 000.0o.
We intend to build first-class coal
gas plant, large enough to supply 1870,
600, cubic feet per day. The main ex-
tensions will also be made in a number
OF good streets in Ironwood which are
not now supplied, and we Rave also un.
der consideration the extension OF
mains to the outlying locations. all of
which, of course, means large expen
diture of money, an1 at the same time
gives the company additional territory
in which to supply gas. We propose to
start these improvements at a very
early date, and to follow up the same
with an energetic and vigorous new
business campaign, which campaign
will include a systematic canvass of all
the premises IN Ironwood IN which gas
might be used.
The company has had this matter un-
der consideration for some months aud
only came to a decision after exhaustive
inquiries had been made regarding the
type and the kind of apparatus which
we shall install, and after these i'm.
provements have been completed Iron
wood will have one of the most modern
and up-to-date gas plants in the state
of Michigan, and it will have d coal
and water gas equipment of sufficient
capacity that will manufacture at least
800, 900 cubic feet per day.
Hoping this news will b7 Of interest
to you, and as showing the company's
confidence and faith in the future of
Ironwood, | am,
Yours very truly.

Two thousand liquor dealers, in
Guiding their families, assembled in
the Lyceum Theater, Pittsburg, last
Sunday to protest against the great
religious revival which the churches
of Pittsburg will inaugurate next
week and which are to continue un-
interuptedly till late in February,
under the direction of Rev. William
A. Sunday. The liquor men main
tain that the revival will be injurious
to their business, but as matter of
fact, their protest is the most inju-
rious move this interest has made in
years. 1t is an acknowledgment from
the assembled liquor interests of a
great city that religion and morals is
inimical to the liquor BUSINESS, some
thing that has been charged against
the business all along. But this is
one time in which the business has
plead guilty.

Where Red Hair Is pisIiked.

In Cornwall. particularly the Lands
End district, 1t is not advisable to dub
person "a red haired Dane" though
In most parts Of England. especially
inland, the expression would as likely
as not provoke no comment at all or be
regarded as simply frivolous.
At police court case heard in 1867
at Penzance town hall 1t came out in
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane.
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance Of Cornlshmen to be dub,
bed by this strange appellation is as
strong as ever.
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only in Cornwall. but also all along
our coasts, where the Danes or Morse
men made their ravages. this deep
rooted prejudice against people with
red hair. red headed" more or less
remains ingrained in the national char
acter.-J. Harris Stone In "The Eng.

The ex-governor is an experienced
politician. He knows Florida stats

from an inside standpoint, as any
other man within the bounds of the
state, and he can read as unerringiy
the signs of the times as any other

Indications Good

Fl. Lauderdale Sentinel: John N.
C. Stockton, who is the candidate for
the United States senate from all in
dications will sweep the state. We
know of no man in Flol ida who has
worked more unselishly to bring
about conditions favorable to the peo-
pie than has Stockton. For the last
quarter of a century lac has fought
for principles that must be adopted
if the people are ever to get any re-
lief from the government that has
been used and is being used for the
enrichment of few. If the people
in their wisdom send John Stockton
to Washington, they will have man
there that no man can tempt and that
no man can bride. He has an hon
est ambition to be United States SEN
ator with but one aim in view, that is
to so conduct himself in the public
way that his work will go down to
benefit all mankind. At the same
time to give him an honest fame.

A STUDY IN
DESTINY.

Oscar w. Underwood, the demo-
cratic floor leader in Congress will
probably be elected to the Senate
from Alabama. Birmingham has
greeted him with brass band and a
parade of 5000 enthusiastic citizens.
He is having a fight on his hands,
but the country will be disappointed
if he does not prevail over the hero
of the Merrimac and the Woman's
Club
Will the election of Underwood to
the Senate honor or retire him?
Mississippi had floor leader a
few years ago, John Sharpe Williams,
national figure, keynote chairman
of the national convention of 1904.
Mississippi was proud of Williams,
so she paraded lin, brass-banded
him, elected him senator, and he went
into lone obscurity i'm that lonely
upper house.
1t is very seldom that great rep
resentative becomes a great senator.
1t is very seldom that prominent
senator can point back to prominence
in the house. This is a law of par
liaments., England has noted the
same fortune befall members of the
house of commons who became peers.
The election of senator is a por-
tentious thing. The election of IN
derwood would mean an honor to a
deserving Alabaman. But while that
state is honoring man, is it losing
him? If it makes him a senator,
will it sacrifice the most powerful
floor member of either house that
the south has had in 20 years? Will
Underwood have more distinction and
less fame as a reward for his &C
complishments?

Gilchrist's Retirement

Jacksonville Metropolis: The re-
tiTement of former Governor Gilchrist
from the senatorial race simplifies
that contest 1t draws the lines
sharply. 1t will be fight between
the progressives and the standpat-
ters within the democratic party.
Mr.. Stockton typifies the whole
people. Mr.. Fletcher represents that
element which still believes in the
ruling class. 1t will remain for the
people of Florida to choose whether
they, as a whole, shall select a rep
resentative in the upper hall of con-
gress who is in touch with the com.
mon people, who knows their desires
and needs, WHO BELIEVES IN A
GOVERNMENT OF FOR AND Fly
THE WHOLE PEOPLE, or man
who, when the opportunity was given
him to choose between the masses and
the classes, deliberately threw his
lot with the classes.
The Florida Metropolis believes that
the answer will be loud and emphatic
md that John N. c. Stockton will
come into his own at the hnads of
the voters of this State.
The Metropolis does not wish 10
appear in the fight of attempting to
disparage any good work done by
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher in be-
half Of the State. He is an excellent
gentleman and has done good work
in various ways.
We simply believe that Mr.. Stock
ton is the best man for the highly
responsible position; that he will
more thoroughly represent The peo-
pie of Florida in the great delibera-
tive body; that he will be more in
harmony with the Wilson administra-
ton, and that>he has more than cam
ed the honor at the hands Of the
people of his native State.

QUALITY OF MERCY
WAS STRAINED.

Ex-President Taft in a recent
speech delivered in Pennsylvania told
of pardoning two prisoners who were
pronounced dying by government ex-
perts. He said:
One of them died soon after he
was released from the peniten-
tiary. Another is apparently
in excellent health and seeking
to re-establish himself in the
world in which he committed a
penitentiary offense. This shakes
ones faith in expert examina-
lions.
This has been generally accepted
as a sharp allusion to the case OF
Chas. W. Morse, which Injuries ones
faith in holier things than expert ex.
aminations.
Morse was the ice-magnate OF
New York city, head of the trust
which was the most IMPLYING of all
trusts and aimed to make wealth
out of the heat and suffering of sum-
mer. His financing became finally SC
frenzied that the United States au.
thorities were compelled to take no.
tice. He was tried in the Federal
courts and was convicted and sentenc-
ed to term in prison. No sooner
was he locked up than he was made
an object of commiseration.
We had the plying sight of de-
voted wife going up and down the
land securing names to a petition fol-
executive clemency. We had the pic.
ture of man who had been rich and
comfortable lying in a cell. The
newspapers made tear drawing pic.
lures of the devoted wife; of the
steady decline of the once great mar
OF affairs living with murderers, for,
gers, yegg men and counterfeiters.
These things began to work on the
hardest official minds, then they be-
gan to show the ex-magnate favors
He was given a pleasant room anG
good food and conveniences. Then
physicians began to report how dan.
Eerous his condition was. Finally
upon an emphatic statement that he
was a dying man, Morse was released
He went to Europe for a time
Then he came back to New York and
business, and is apparently ENJOYING
life.
If nothing but "expect examina.
tions" were hurt, it might be easy to
submit to this. But the Morse case
cannot fail to cast a chill over every
president or governor who hears an
appeal for clemency. 1t cannot fail
to hurt the chances even of dying
prisoners. 1t cannot fail to weaken
the fearful pleadings of any other
wife whose husband is a prisoner.
and who may iced his liberty and
his help far more than Mrs. Morse
had need of the prison pet of Allan
ia.
Morse whimpered his way out of
prison. In itself that is small mat
ter 1t is the effect on other cases
on better cases-its effect on the
quality of mercy in us all" that
makes this whimpering escape from
justice quite the worst act of Morse's
career.
