The beauty Of The Oliver Type
writer l7.Cents.a- Day Plan is that
. it works out satisfactorily for
everybody concerned.
This plan ties up a very large
sum Of the company's money in
typewriters sold on time.
But we have an abundance of
capital, We are glad to use our
resources to bring this great bust
ness aid within easy reach of all
who have use for typewriters.
= Thousands tell us that they
bought their Oliver Typewriters
without noticing the outlay,
Here's the way the plan works:
You make a small first payment
and get the machine at once.
Then save II Cents a Day and
pay monthly, exactly the same as
rent
When you complete the pay
ments, the typewriter is yours
forever. And you pay only the
list price.

HERRICK is GIVEN HONORS

Paying Tribute.

Paris, Nov. 30.-Myron T. Herrick,
the retiring American ambassador to
Paris, accompanied by Mrs. Herrick
and the members of his family, de-
parted from Paris for Havre where
they will take the steamer Rocham-
beau for New York. Americans re-
naming in Paris crowded the In
valides station to bid farewell to the
retiring diplomat. Among them were
William Graves Sharp, who succeeds
Mr.. Herrick as ambassador. There
were present also a number of prom
inent French officials. Sir Austin Lee,
acting for the British ambassador at
Bordeaux, handed to Mr.. Herrick
letter from Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, thanking him
for the services of the American en-
bassy to British subjects. AS token
of appreciation Mr.. Herrick was pre-
scented with several pieces of silver
plate by members of the British col
ony here.

the activity of a newspaper that
cloaks its real selfish purpose with a
surface veneer of progressive, "
which works underground to defeat
certain candidates more truly pro-
gressive than itself?
The truth is that organizations of
citizens like this league are being
practically compelled today in Wis
consin, because the fractional political
game has relegated principles to the
background and degenerated into a
scramble FOR office, because the press
has largely ceased to be an exponent
of principles, except as they suit a
candidate, and become the mere
mouthpiece of fractional office-seekers.
There can be no objection, and we
do not believe the Home Rule and
Taxpayers league would object to a
law that would compel the financial
publicity Of every citizens organiza-
tion.
But so far from being dangerous to
the public veal, such organizations
onght to be encouraged as tending to
emphasize the fundamental issues of
political contests and to the inject
the element of independent popular
judgment as to policies in the con-
contests between candidates and
factions.

Wisconsin Home Rule and Taxpayers

Wisconsin Home Rule and Taxpayers
league.
To anyone who doubts that state
ment we refer to the files of this
paper and of the Sentinel for May z,
1914. Upon the first page of each
paper will be found the story of the
leagues organization, the list of
officers, the resolutions adopted,
extracts from the addresses and the
names Of some twenty-five or thirty
men from the various sections of the
state who attended. The accounts
cover from two to three columns.
More than this, we can say that,
so far from being mysterious, the
gathering at the Hotel Wisconsin on
May actually invited newspaper
publicity.
Since that day the operations of
league were as public as the opera
tions of any party in the campaign,
far more so, indeed, than the opera
tions of certain factions and news
papers we might mention.
Contrary to the Journals claim,
the league did not concern itself
with candidates, but frankly and
openly opposed certain tendencies of
government as they were involved in
the campaign, whether in platform or
amendments, and always over its
name or that of its executive COM
mittee
The members of that commi ttee,
which, as usual, were the officers of
the organization, were we'll known.
They had been announced in every
Milwaukee paper and in most of the
state papers when the league was
founded. They were repeatedly men
toned in interviews in behalf of the
league during the course of the cam
paign and appeared on all of it cor
respondence.
If this is mystery and anonymity,
then we hope that the political or
CARNATIONS of the state, to say nothing
of the Journals own policy, expand
III that direction.
Naturally, the league spent money
to effect its purposes, but it did so
without subterfuge and in fulfillment
of every requirement of the law.
Now as to what is most important
the alleged danger to the public
veal of such an organization.
One might dismiss the matter by
asking what danger there can be in
the operations of a body Of citizens
whose representative members are
known, whose object is known, whose
activities are conducted under its
name and whose literature has been
plain, straightforward and obvious in
every respect.
Is not the activity of such an or
ganization infinitely more innocuous-
wholly apart from its purpose-tha

CALLS 1T A STATE ISSUE
President Wilson Says Woman's Suf-
frage Is Not a National Cues
ton, But Local.

Washington, Nov. 0-Reiterating
his belief that woman's suffrage is a
state and not a national issue, Presi-
dent Wilson sent letter to Miss
Mary M. Childs, an employee of the
forest reserve service in this city. It
read in part:
81 am deeply impressed with the
movement for goman's suffrage, and
think it could be best worked out and
most solidly and conclusively, if de-
veloped from state to state, rather
than by any sweeping change in the
fundamental law of the nation"

In Defense of the League.
- lie Milxaukee Free Press.

From the Mil Tau kee Free Press.
The Milwaukee Journal has sudden.
" become desperately excited over
she Wisconsin Home Rule and Tax
payers league.
Although this league was formal
il the city Of Milwaukee on May Of
this year amid circumstances of the
utmost publicity and publicly operated
for months prior to the primaries and
until the recent election, the Journal
at this late date becomes rampant
against what it calls an anonymous
and mysterious organization.
In its first-page outpouring, as well
as IN an accompanying editorial, it
refers to the league in phrases like
the following:
From the start there was a great
deal of mystery concerning the Wis
consin Rome Rule and Taxpayers
league
The league has succeeded in keeping
ats membership secre t, except that the
names of three or four men actively
connected with it, are known.
IL seems to shun the light of day.
Why.
The league, in our Judgment, is
dangerous because it is anonymous in
SITS character and it's methods.
More is known about almost any
secret society In the state, organized
Tor any purpose whatever, than is
known regarding this secretive and
mysterious league.
Most Of its work seems to be done in
secret, and even most of its appeals to
voters are anonymous; at any rate,
they simply bear the name Executive
Committee of Home Rule and Tax
payers League.
Tt was particularly interested in
platform declarations and in candidates
for governor and members of the legis-
fature 1t was yOcifer0us in calling for
defeat of the constitutional amend
4nents-all of them.
The league spent large sums of
money for campaign purposes.
Upon the basis of these claims the
Journal charge the league with being
a dangerous and anti-public organiza-
7tion. 1t does not charge it with
violating the corrupt practices act,
but urges the legislature to investi-
gate it's operations and to enlarge
the act to prevent such operations in
The future.
The Free Press holds no brief for
the Home Rule and Taxpayer s league.
During the campaigns, primary and
proper, it has freely differed with a
number Of is methods and policies.
But the charges of he Journal are
at once so false, injurious and unsound
SO unjust to the league and its pur-
poses, that we are inclined to protest.
If ever an organization was founded
an the full light of day, with its
officers, its initial membership, its
purposes made clear to the people of
Wisconsin, that organization is the
