Tar and feathers are not peculiarly
American punishment. Richard the
Lion Hearted first proclaimed this pun
ishment. 1t was when he was setting
ont for the third crusade that he gave
warning that "a robber who shall be

thereon, and the feathers of cushion

A London
Ghost Story

A wonderful ghost story is agitat-
ing high society, according to the Lon
don Express. The principals are peo-
pie Of the highest social position.
The vicar of a Kensington church
was leaving the church after his choir
practice, when lady stepped out of
the aisle and asked him in agitated
tones to come with her at once to an
address near by.
"A gentleman is dying there" she
said. He is extremely concerned
about the state of his soul, and anx-
ious to see you before he dies
The clergyman followed her to a
waiting taxicab, and a short drive
round the corner brought them to a
mansion. The lady, who seemed to be
extremely agitated, urged the vicar to
hurry. He sprang out of the cab, rang
the bell, and butler appeared.
Does Mr.. - live here?'
yes, sir"
Il hear he is seriously i'll, and has
sent for me-"
The butler expostulated that his
master was not i'll, that as a matter
of fact he was in the best of health
'But this lady"-exclaimed the vi
car, as he turned round, and then an
expression of blank establishment
came over him.
The taxicab and the lady had com
pletely disappeared.
The butler looked on the clergy man
as either a mailman or practical
joker, and was about to slam the
door when his master came along the
passage and inquired what it was all
about.
Are you Mr.. -" asked the
clergyman. II heard that you were Sc
riously i'll, that you were concerned
about your soul, and that you had
sent for me-"
He described the lady who had
brought him, and the dying man
said he could not identify her; that he
had no such friend or acquaintance
They discussed this matter on the
doorstep for a few moments, and
then the clergyman was invited tc
come inside.
ut is very strange" said Mr.
that you should have been sent or
such an errand, in such mysterious
way. AS matter of fact, though
am perfectly well, | have been trou
bled lately about the state of my soul
and l have been seriously contemplat
ing calling upon you to discuss the
matter with you.
Now that you are here let us brush
aside this strange incident, and If you
will give me the time we will discuss
what has been on my conscience
The clergyman stayed for an hour
or SO, and it was then arranged tina
his new acquaintance should come tt
the church the next morning and they
would continue their discussion aftel
service.
He did not appear at the church
and the vicar, very much interested
called to see what was the matter
lie was met at the door by the butler
who told him that his master had dice
10 minutes after he left the house OF
the previous evening.
They went upstairs to the bedroom
where the dead man lay, and on {
table in the middle of the room stood
a portrait Of the lady who had brough

church.

The democratic press of Wisconsin
is generally well grounded in its opin-
ions. Its editors are nearly all inde-
pendent and observing, yet there is
enc thing they must look out for. For
quarter of century the democrats
made war on the Republican party for
being run by its Office holders. 1t was
charged that more than a hundred
thousand Office holders working in the
political field intrenched the party in
power, making its tenure OF Office easy
and long. IL was source OF all kinds
of corruption and unpublished vices. 1t
was IN part on account OF this that the
civil service law was enacted and is be-
ing enforced; it was on account OF this
that President Cleveland issued an or
der that his appointees should not In
terfere in politics. But how is it now
in Wisconsin? 1t is reported that out
of twenty-five state committee men
eleven are holding federal offices, and
of the two men who control federal
patronage in Wisconsin both are IN
trenched in federal positions and the
papers who do not support this kind of
business are maligned and read out OF
the party. What kind of manhood re-
poses in an editor who can be induced
to defend in democrat principle
that he denounced in republican.
How long will partisan supremacy in
the state of Wisconsin last on that
kind OF foundation Hudson True

A MISTAKEN IDEA

There are some people who still resort
to druggcd pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,

from taking IL because they fear 1t may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This Isl mistaken idea, because Scott 8
Emulsion first strengthens the bodybefore

Arbitration of the Huerta-CarranZa

brOglio is a contamination devoutly
to be wished. If the two quarrcls can
be settled at once SO much the bet
ter. 1t is to be hoped that within a
few days the South American ENJOYS
can report progress.
C%arranza, after naming his repre-
sentatives in the mediation confer
ences, was asked to withdraw them,
because he refused an arnistice with
Huerta.
If the Latin American Republics &C.
COmplish a settlement of the Mexican
situation, they arc entitled to take
a front rank as arbitrator among the
nations Of the world. This step has
put Argentine, Brazil and Chile in a
new light among the great powers OF
the world.
We have never associated these
powers as world powers. Probably
the growth of the Pan-American Tn
ion, fostercd SO many years by John
Barrett, has had something to do with
bringing about the situation. In
these deliberations, at least, the
Latin American Republics enter or
equal footing into the diplomatic ne
gotiatiOns Of the great powers.
If their ENJOYS are successful, II
will give them added prestige and
Significance in the councils of the
nations.

ST. PAUL'S

This city probably is one of the larg-

government.
Under the charter six commission
ers are selected who draw a salary of
$4,000 each, and a comptroller and
mayor, making eight in all. The may
or and comptroller draw $4,000 each.
A bitter campaign has been waged

Co-operators' Herald Points Out
Importance of Cooperative Work
Says That Farmers Credit Not Nearly So Important Now as
the Regulation of the Marketing End of the
4. Farm Business

In reprinting an editorial from the
lBis1narck Tribune on Mr. Erslands
Candidacy, for the legislature. The
Co-operators Herald this week says:
The Bismarck Tribune strikes the
keynote in an editorial which we re-
produce on this page. The American
Society of Equity stands for definite
economic reforms, reforms which, il
made effective, will do more to bring
about better farming methods, diver
siiied and intensive farming, than all
the Rockefeller Foundations, etc.
Why? Simply because these interests
are working upon tho theory OF an
nnderproduction to correct the bad
economic conditions that surround the
farmer, without any effort to get at
and correct the real cause of these
conditions, without reference to the
motive back Of this Big Business pro-
paganda, which is admittedly a self
ish one.
But they have the cart before the
horse. The trouble is not %underpro-
duction Of fo%odstuffs. 1t is underpro-
duction of producers and a conse-
uuent overproduction of consumers,
Superinduced by the bad economic
conditions resulting from u waste.
fnl and %antiquated system of distribu-
ton, which is not able t ocarry eco
:iomicaly the tremendous aggregate Of
production from the door of the pro-
ducer to the door of the consumer;
the producer receiving for his care
and investment less than the actual
cost of production and the consumer
paying too much. All authorities agree
that production must wait for more
scientific distribution.
Remove the Cause.
The Equity reformer reasons from
cause to effect. Remove the cause OF
the bad conditions and the effect will
be to bring about good conditions as
a natural sequence. This is in har-
mony with the teaching of science
and the prompting of reason. There

prive the parasitical consuming class

else but to drag the roads, especially
after rains.
The permanent road has yet to be
constructed. About the only perma
nent features Of the average road arc
the grading, culverts and bridges, and
these are not absolutely so.
A poor road with proper mainten
ance may become much better in time
than a good road without such main
%tcnance. 1t is a foolish and short.
sighted policy which lays out a lot o.
roads and then puts nothing into
maintenance. That is just like III
ming a business without carrying in
surance.
Maintenance we'll applied is road
insurance, nothing more nor less. And
roads constructed at great costs
should have the protection of such
insurance just like other public works
No better system for keeping ur
roads has been developed than the
paNol system. This provides for the
employment Of skilled laborers O.
care-takers, each of whom has charge
of a special section of the road.
Eurleigh county needs new road:
and many of them, hut it also needs
as much. a system of maintenance OF
up-keep on the roads it has.

ROAD MAINTENANCE.

Too much emphasis is being placed
In u new districts on road making
and not enough upon road mainten-
ance. Or course, it is essential and
vital to have many roads as feeders
to the cities and towns and also as a
means of establishing connections be-
tween the rural communities them
selves, but it is far more important
to maintain a road after it is laid out.
they meet today, can well afford to
expend money on maintenance by the
purchase of drags, gravel and the en-
ployment of a few men to do nothing
