THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Already, political patronage is
making trouble for President Will
son and congress is getting ready
to heave bricks at him and turn
him to the wall. He should tell
them to go hence. for he is respon-
sible for government appointees.
The latest advises from Wash
ington is to the effect that Joe E.
Davies will distribute the federal
patronage in the state of Wiscon-
sin. He will see that it is placed
where it will do the most good for
his party and only good men need
apply for recognition-who have
been politically clean and loyal.
A bill has been introduced in the
state senate which provides that
when either branch of the legisla-
ture asks by resolution for spring
water, the superintendent of public
property shall furnish it. Judging
from the vote of both branches on
the excise bills introduced, one is
at loss to imagine what in the
world the members want of water,
unless it is for the purpose of alb
lution-at least, some of them who
ought to be in distilleries instead of
the legislature.

1t cost $4,000 to lnaugurate
President Wilson, and yet we hear
much about the high cost Of living
and democratic simplicity-yet we
have no reason to be critical for it
has been long time since we
uns' have had an opportunity to

Hon. John M. Nelson is already
in the field for a denomination to
congress for the third congressional
district. John believes that it is
the early bird that catches the
worm and that it is best to always
forestall competition and opposi-
ton. He is not very large physic-
ally, but has a big political head
and is making a success in politics
and we congratulate him.
1t is to his credit, that President
Wilson in choosing members for
his cabinet selected men, with pos
sibly one exception, who are not
politicians in the ordinary sense.
He demonstrated good judgment in
departing from the precedent which
has obtained heretofore, in calling
to his assistance during his adj
ministration, men not hampered by
political demands and considera-
tons, men not claiming place be-
cause of party service.
A suit was filed on the Ist inst.
in the federal district court New
York, to dissolve the Corn Pro
ducts Refining company for viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
1t is alleged that the defendent
company has a monopoly on the
sale of starch, glucose, corn syrup
and grape sugar candy. Also, that
the Corn Products company by its
control of subsld diary companies
has limited the output of such pro
ducts and have refused to sell tic
dealers unless their goods were sold
exclusively. T h suit involves
men of high financial standing in :
Guiding the Standard Oil Co.
What was to be anticipated, the
democratic members of congress
are now scraping over the tariff.
Those representing states where
there is numbering on a large scale
as in Alabama, Virginia, Louisiana
and Arkansas object strenuously to
the reduction of the republican tar
iff on manufactured lumber and
those representing CONSTITUENCIES
where sugar is produced are dead
set against any interference with
the republican tariff on sugsr. AS
Gen. Hancock said; The tariff is a
local issue-but as our democratic
friends voted for a reduction of the
tariff let it be done.

TELLS BELLEVILLE COUNCIL
TO KEEP ITS HANDS OFF

A communication from Andrew L.
Boylan. attorney for the old Board of
Fire Commissioners. was received
last night by the Belleville Town
Council. The writer advised the
council that If they wished to avoid
further legal proceedings they should
refrain from removing anything per-
tanning to the fire department.
The attorneys letter conveyed the
information that a suggestion had
been made to remove the contents of
one of the three companies to the
Silver Lake section, and purported
to have been made by the fire COM
mittee of the council.
The council said the impression
was wrongly conveyed, as they had
no such intention at present. In re-
ferring to the matter pending in
court between the two bodies Town
Attorney De Graw commended that
the question to be decided was not
control of the department but pos
session of the departments para
