H0MIuArINc PosrrIos OF AN ORGAN

Wisconsin is fortunate is having
again as governor one who is always
unfailingly and uncompromsingly for
progress. Governor McGovern is
tried and true executive. Most wisely
the state has held him at the helm
Madison Journal, January !.
Governor McGovern inaugurates his
second administration with a pitisbly
petty mess. His movements are obvi-
ously actuated by small and personal
prejudices rather than by any sound
and statesmanlike reasoning. Madison
Journal, January 8.
Governor McGovern' consuming self
ishness and egOtism has run riot with
his season. His order to throw Com
missioner of Insurance Ekern out of
office was the act of political desper-
ado, not statesman. He can't Bull

LEGATION of the statement above quoted
Are the people to accept McGovern as
wise statesman" or a political
desperado?"
The quotations are from the official
state paper, the concern that censors
mankind generally and passes upon the
''prog ressiveness" of Wisconsin citi-
zens and their acts. and writes them
down as "reactionaries" and opposed
to La Toilette" those who decline to
accept with their eyes shut, as sacred
gospel, all the extravagant and high
tax nostrums and hide-bound factional-
ism incubated and proposed at Madi-
son.
The present McGovern-E kern dog
fight well illustrates the political ter
rorism and humiliation Wisconsin re-
publicans are enduring. II is plainly a
feud to see who shall hold, from youth
to the grave, the fat jobs and boss the
party. But what. possible interest can
the people as a whole have in these
bitter rows? They stand meekly by
and pay the bills. They can find them,
If they but will, in their annually in
creasing tax receipts.
AS a partial sequel to this beauti-
ful pageant of high-class reform, the
state house had actual spilling of hu-
man blood on Tuesday, when Meow
ern's superintendent of public property
attempted to fire Ekern--body, gall and
bladder-from the insurance depart
ment. but was estopped by court in
junction. In the melee of smashing
down doors and crashing plate glass
Superintendent Essman experienced
cut from which pure state crimson
freely flowed. Ard Little Ekern still
tuggs at the. official tit at. IS. 00o per.

Richland county newspapers have all
given notice of rise in subscription
price from 81 to $l.50, the change to go
into effect on April first With the
best of foundation, the publishers rea-
son that it is Impossible to keep away
from bankruptcy if they continue to
issue papers at a losing price. II is
fact that everything entering into the
production of newspaper has been in
creased from fifty to one hundred per
cent within recent years. and thirty
three per cent during the last twelve
months. Everything has been advanced
in prize except newspapers. For in
stance: When the present publisher Of
the CENSOR assumed management the
paper more than bought cord of stove
wood. Now, after having been three
times enlarged since that period, it re-
quires almost three years CENSOR to
buy a cord Of similar wood. The paper
then bought eight bushels of oats. now
only three; 20 pounds of sugar. now Is;
pounds of butter, now s. Salaries in
the office have more than doubled. And
thus it goes, and correctly illustrates
the proposition against which the aver
age printer and publisher is tugging.
Nearly every paper in the country has
made an advance. The CENSOR has
stood out hoping almost against hope,
that the tide would reverse, but instead
the burden multiplies, and it is but a
question Of time when there must be a
change. 1t is but Just that it should
be done. When that win come is indi-
finite.

tions. MI. Morgan testified:
The trouble is that the call for

therefore. the demand for money is
higher than it has been for q long
time" E
