Quo Vadis, Mr.. Fleetwood?
{ Rutland Herald.)

Mr.. Fleetwood $ announcement of
candidacy for the eovernorship seems
to be of an IF character. with the
exception OF his declaration Of plat
form, which is plain enough.
The Herald fails. however, to dis
cover any mention OF Mr. Fleetwood S
political belief He does not say
whether he is Republican. a Progress
sive or a Democrat; neither does ne
state whether he seeks a nomination
he intends to run wild. : as the old
railroad phase had it.
Quo vadis, Mr.. Fleetwood!
As to the platform. the endorsement
of the direct primary is perfectly
proper, if somewhat eX post facto,
while the second and third planks.
which provide for limitation of cam
paign expenses and a more stringent
corrupt practices act. are really un-
necessary of the fourth plank. public
.ity of campaign expenses, is enforced.
Public opinion would take care of the
result.
Exemption from taxation of all debts
bearing per cent interest is already
enacted into law, and even if the
statute is somewhat ambiguous its
Qualification is hardly a state issue.
State conservation is perfectly
good and safe topic at any time, any
place and for any candidate, as also
is the simpIifcation of legal pro
cedure. although the latter is largely
matter for the bar and bench.

Printed Matter by Parcel Post.

Two orders have been received at the
postofice which will result in a still
further extension of the operation of
the parcel post. Hitherto the rate or
all miscellaneous printed matter has
been one cent for every two ounces.
By the new order which has already
gone into effect, miscellaneous printed
matter weighing over four pounds and
being otherwise within the weight and
size limits governing parcel post mat
ter, is to be considered as fourth class
or parcel post mail, and, of course,
goes at parcel post rates.
The second order, which becomes eff
fective March 10th, transfers books
weighing over eight ounces into the
parcel post class. Books weighing eight
ounces or below are carried as before
at two ounces for cent.

winter for the delivery of tobacco at
Stoughton, Main street near the depot

Edgerton III. S. Debaters Win.

The triangular debate between the
high school teams of Edgerton, Slough
ton and Whitewater on the question,
'"The fixing of minimum wage scale
by state boards" was won by two to
one decision over the Stoughton team
at Stoughton and Whitewater team at
Edgerton.
The affirmative team representing
Edgerton at Stoughton were Glenn
Gardiner, Kenneth Earle and Harold
Pratt, The negative team Lowell
Whittet, Eugene Flarity and Francis
Curran. The different phases of the
question that were brought out showed
that a considerable amount of study
had been exerted. By eliminating
Stoughton and Whitewater this keeps
Edgerton in running for the state
championship, which is conducted by
Lawrence college.
The difference in markings was, Ed
gerton 268, and Stoughton 264. Slough
ton was strong on delivery and in re-
buttal, but Edgerton won on points.
Francis Curran of Edgerton received
the best marking and Marshall Robson
Of Stoughton next best.
Stoughton's negative team won at
Whitewater.

Death of a Rock County Pioneer.


Solomon C. Carr, an early settler of
Rock county, died after a brief illness
of heart trouble at his home in Milton

bella Mackey of Belvidere, N. Y, who
died in 1900. Four children, two sons
and two daughters, of this union sur
vive. In 1902 Mr.. Carr was united in
marriage to Miss Alice Butler of Phil

wife, who is still living.
The funeral was held Wednesday at
2 o'clock from his late residence and
