pressed himself in favor of invcstiga-

All this. however has not had much
effect ON the natives or, at any rate,
on East Indians living in the British
isles. They are thoroughly aroused
and are demanding equal treatment
for their fellow subjects in all the
British dominions, practically all of
which have adopted or contemplate
adopting laws to keep the Indians out
of their respective countries.
The difficulties of the imperial gov

to demand for separation from the
empire, and in India it is realized by
the authorities that it would not take

TORYISM is NOT DEMOCRACY

Those Democratic editors who are
publishing approvingly Editor Sturte-
wants lamentation in reply to the sug
gestion that he stand rs the Republican
candidate for governor are making n
mistake. The Fond du Lac Reporter
has nothing but admiration for the
sentiments expressed by Sturtevant;
and Editor Hume of The Chiffon Times
says that if he didn't know him he
would think from his words that he
was Democrat.
Perhaps some of Brother Hume's ed
itorial utteranCes are intended to be
taken like the lrishmans dream by
contrares But we will take this one
seriously and offer word in reply.
Mr.. Sturtevant says that he il out Of
Joint with the times. Now, these are
Democratic times, and he who il out Of
joint with them is no Democrat. These
are times, as Bob Kirkland would say
in which there is something doing,
something done" In these times the
people no longer acquiesce in Tory
policies of government, by which they
were long previously burdened; in
visible government no longer rules
supreme: and the Democrats are not
prescribed. Mr.. Sturtevant proclaims
Toryism. Both he and the men who
follow after him. whether they call
themselves Republicans, or think that
they are Democrats, are away behind
the times. They are wrong, and not
right. They must not be allowed to
lead the Democrats of Wisconsin, least
they lead them astray.
The weakness and the shame Of
nearly all the reactionary talk is that it
il cold and selfish, and lacks the thrill
of the great movements Of tho time.
The people of the state, and of the
nation as well, are warm hearted.
They have their face turned towards
the future. They are looking to real
Democrats to lead.

DOING BUSINESS.

In an editorial article headed How
the Professor Taught the Country,
The Springfield Republican testifies in
the strongest manner possible to Presi-
dent Wilson's great and successful
leadership. Following are II few para
graphs from this article;
Newspaper photographers and car
toonists have been quite busy of late in
leveling shafts at 1.-The professor in
the White House. That constitutes II
phase of politics in the United States
still in evidence. The attacks upon the
secretary of state, William j. Bryan,
have been continuous, and represent
ancient prejudice. But the government
in Washington still lives, and has been
doing business in very large way. OF
this the people have an understanding
that is broader and deeper than the
nagging Of the irritant forces, Let us
take look at things as they are
The president of the United States is
now to have little vacation, and it
has been richly earned, He has con
IOuIutu lUt CIltlNS blbuBub w
nought the forebohngs of trained ex-
perts in legislative action. In nine
months he has pushed through Con-
gress revision of the tariff, achieved
new banking and currency system,
and meanwhile handled troublesome
questions relating to the offices and to
our foreign relations under rules OF

which he means to be true. Here arr
achievements which four years have
failed of in the past. There were many
doubters among his warmest supporters
when President Wilson insisted thai
the work of framing and passing cur
rency measure should be taken up will
ont moments delay. He believed
that the action deemed necessary SHOULD
proceed steadily and without intermis
sion, while the fear that good results
could not be brought about under sucl
pressure was widely and honestly en-
tertained The outcome is a vindicatiol
of the administration. Perfect result
are seldom obtained in an imperfec
world, but it will be admitted by tn
candid that delay would probably no
have improved those we now have.
Here. then, is very striking exempli
fication of the two things upon whic)

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WITH THE EDITORS

| Waterloo Democrat: Some of our
socialist friends as well as some of the
stalwart editors of the state are going
to bedisappointed if there is no panic
this winter.
Wausaukee Independent: The man
who has no faith in his own town and
who consequently does nothing to
further its interests, will ultimately
find that the town has no faith in him
Bloomington Record: The question
should be what is the state getting for
its money, and what expenditures
should be cut out, and why, rather
than sweeping statements about the
whole amount Of taxes to be collected
Milwaukee News There is no need
of two presidential heads for social rea-
sons and the public business. The New
York Tribune to the contrary. Fact is
President Wilson has little use for the
social equation, and all the country
approves.
Waterloo Democrat: While we crit
icise the extravaganza Of our opponents
we cannot stop there. The Democratic
party must have II constructive policy.
We believe that the year 1914 will be
good to the people of Wisconsin, in tax
ing the control Of the state away from
u party chiefly interested now in fac
tional quarrels, and placing it in the
hands OF united democratic party,
which will administer the government
economically for all the people.
Juneau Independent: The appoint
ment Of Paul A. Hemmy Of this city AZ
the collector of the first internal re-
venue district of Wisconsin, was this
week made by President Wilson. On
Monday the appointment was confirm
ed by the United States Senate. This
recognition was, we believe, intended
M Il recognition of the Democracy of
Dodge County. The fact that we are
prominent IA the banner Democratic
county of the state, is well known in
Washington.
Darlington Democrat; One thing nc
complished by the Wilson administra
ton, which il of great importance, the
it has not been talked about so much as
the tariff bill or the currency bill, is
that the big tinanciers of New York
City have been taught that the govern
ment ut Washington is bigger than
they are. They We're excusable for
holding the opposite opinion because
for generation the Washington gov
ernment whether called Republican or
Democratic, has been the same kind of
a government 80 far as toadying to big
finance il concerned. Now. when big
business wants to confer with the
agents of the government, it goes to
Washington, sends in it's card and
waits until it's turn comes. 1t doesn't
put up mt hotel and send for the gov
ernm ent to come and see it.

Folly and incoherence and factional
disturbance in the democratic party
have been suppressed in the public in

legislative branches to lead the way
there. There has been no lack Of tact
in the process. The president has met
Congress face to face, and this has
proved to be for the public advantage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
High Cost Of Living Cut at Last.

MT. Editor: The announcement in
 Sundays papers that the New York
 Central Zines had discharged 25,00o
 hands. following within a week the cut
 of 15,000 on the Pennsy and nearly
 as heavy a cut on the B. & O., to say
 nothing of our own New England lines,
 is the first genuinely big move we
 have noticed toward reducing the cost
 of living by the democratic tariff laws.
 In places where labor is still em-
 ployed fully there has been not the
 most minute reduction in the cost of
 any one thing that enters into the fam
 fly bill of fare and most of the ar
 ticles that are in greatest demand have
 advanced in price in the past year.
 There is no sense in the plea give
 us time': there has been time enough
 for i'm ports to increase $25,000,00o in
 value in six weeks and revenue to de-
 crease s10,00e, 000 in the same time. These are facts gathered from demo-
 cratic revenue and treasury officials.
 But the secret has been solved when those 10000 skilled workmen have been discharged. Their living has been greatly reduced in quantity quality and price while the fact of their daily wage being taken out of their sew eraI channels of trade may cause cod fish to be half a cent a dozen cheaper to the fellow who is lucky enough to still hold his job. Fall River. New Bedford and other great cotton mill centers are now considering the mat ter of a big curtailment in production and that will be another step towards reducing the much talked of high cost of living
 The only benefit yet derived from the | democratic tariff laws is just what We expected. business in Europe has been stimulated. Argentina farmers and stockmen have had a few millions thrown their way for goods sent here to compete with our American farm CTS and stock raisers and where re- ceived here doubled in price Chinese egg producers have captured few l thousand and so on. but the much l blOWed about reduction in the cost of l living is as far away as the settlement i of the Mexican question by Wilson, 1 Admiral GrapejuiCe, YOn Lind and the 1 other incompetents. The incompetents l must go.
