MAKING ROADS.

As the motive power for graders, the
traction engines are helping to solve
the problem Of making good roads. A
large engine is powerful enough to
work the grader to advantage in all
kinds Of ground. Besides, to get the
best results grading must be done
early in the season, when farm horses
are all hard at work on the farm and
work for the engines is slack. With
good grading, and some simple right
engineering to carry the water off the
roads, and in some places across under
them, the highways of southwest Wis
consin would be source of pleasure to
the traveller and Of profit to the hauler
OF freight,

REDUCE TAXATION.

Those who contend that tariff tax re-
duction should wait on n report from Il
tariff commission must indeed have
short memories. The whole history Of
tariff commissions in this country is
against their contention. In 1870 we
had great commissioner Of the reve-
nue., David A. Wells, who recommended
reduction of import duties. But
charter members of the grand govern
ing conspiracy then controlled congress ;
and they refused to print his report,
and abolished his Office.
The tariff commission of 1881 also
recommended tariff reduction. But the
bill which followed did not reduce the
tax burdens.
The plain duty of the hour is speedy
downward revision of the tariff.

interests are the opposite. As the
dairy interests increase in Wisconsin,
fertility is restored to the soil and the
farms made more productive. No
scientist as yet has been bold enough to
fix the limit in this state. With the
state only half developed the income
of the dairy sources is yet in its in

possibilities of more highly developed

Washington, June %. - President
Wilson has decided to order immedi-

Attorney General McReynolds, and
will appoint Francis j. Heney, who

President Wilson went off to the

what the administration proposed to

McReynolds did not return to his Of

secluded himself, probably to write
report to the president.
Gossip Rife on Resignation.
There was a great deal of gossip in
official circles as to whether McNab's
resignation would be accepted or
whether he would be dismissed The
latter course, officials thought, would
be vindication for the attorney gen

a special prosecutor and the presi-

cases to immediate trial would have
was the subject of lively speculation.
McReynolds Inquiry Due Soon.
The house judiciary committee at
a hearing Thursday will investigate
the delay ordered by Attorney Gen

The resolution of Congressman

A FINE EXAMPLE OF SIMPLE
HOME LIFE.

Here " an article that IL more than worth
while. Read IT,. IL will do You good-EDrToRs.
Milwaukee journal: Distinguished
visitors to this country generation or
two generations ago were profoundly
impressed by the dignifed simplicity
which marked the home life of our
foremost citizens. In their notebooks
and letters is recorded their enjoyment
of society in which the emphasis was
put on the best things, and in which
the fripperies and insanities of high
society" found no place. In such
homes as those of Lowell, Emerson,
Aggasiz, Stedman, Norton, Hale, Bige
low they found all the refinement, in
telligence and charm that the best SO
ciety of Europe could afford, coupled
with simplicity and naturalness which
was practically impossible under the
artificial conditions of the old world,
The observations recorded by recent
visitors are not so flattering. They
have much to say about the things our
business men have done, about our tall
buildings, our railroads, our huge cities,
and our luxury and elegance, but they
do not seem to have noticed that atmos-
phere of good breeding, that devotion
to things of the spirit, that unostenta
tons and we'll ordered manner of life
which so appealed to the observers of
an earlier day.
One might be unwarranted in saying
that the type of culture represented by
our Lowells and our Emersons is rarer
now than Il was; but IL is certain that
it is no longer 40 outstanding Il feature
of our national character. Ii has been
pushed into the background by the
noisy antics of our vulgarian plutocrats,
who have acquired wealth without
ideals Within their reach are the
finest things the world has to offer, and
the best use they make of their advan
tages is to vie in silly expenditure,
social preferment and brainless amuse
ments.
AT such time it is cause for reioic
ing that we have in the White house a
