THE MADISONIAN.

The Madisonian, which says that it
is "the only, English Democratic news
paper in Dane county" has one very
commendable feature Every week it
contains some vigorous editorial arti-
cles They invariably run along the
same line of thought and lead to the
same conclusions as the lamentations OF
the backward looking sages so numer-
Gus in the Republican party; but every
article bears unmistakable evidence OF
being original. The editor of The
Madisonian makes his own songs and
sings them himself and that is good
deal better than to reprint articles from
some Republican newspaper that is
working over time for less democracy
and against more democracy.

PRESS POINTS

Ellis B. Usher: Ny feeling is one Of
regret that the conservative republican
leaders think that the mistakes of Moses
are present day issue.
The Madisonian: Our grand vizer,
the Mineral Point Democrat, has been
generously served with the best plum
the party has at it's disposal in the
Zinc City. From now on until there is
a change in politics, it will be found
supporting the democratic national ad-
ministration without single let up to
catch breath. The editor of
the Darlington Democrat, too, has been
rewarded by the patronage dispensers
with the postmastership at Darlington.
And why not? Has he not done every
thing a progressive must do to deserve
it2
Darlington Democrat: The latest
venture of the privilege seekers is a
bill introduced which if passed will
permit the resumption of the making
of skim milk cheese. The governor
ought to be ashamed that privilege
seekers should regard his election as a
permit to them to renew their efforts
to get plumber privileges from the
legislature.
Burlington Standard Democrat: The
republican dinner at the Hotel Pfster
in Milwaukee last Saturday evening re-
solved itself into stalwart love feast.
The old clan dwelt upon past achieve
ments of protective tariff and tried to
take back number conditions and fit
them to the progressive America of
today. AS nation we must look ahead
and adapt ourselve to conditions as
they arise and as they are likely to
confront US.
The Jefferson County Union: Every
country newspaper has the opportu-
nifty of being worth much or little to its
community. 1t all depends upon the
energy and ability with which it is
conducted, upon the men behind the
paper. The editor has the choice
whether he will travel in the same old
narrow circle every week, dishing up
the local and county news in the same
old perfunctory manner with but little
real force or character anywhere, or
whether he will try and make of his
sheet stimulating power for the better
ment of his community. The reading
public do not ask that their local paper
should always agree with them, but
they do ask that its editor stand up
and express his opinion clearly, respect

DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM.
By Hon. JOSEF E. DAVIES.

The problem of the relation of bust
ness to industry is world wide. The
principle of the Sherman Law is not
confined to the United States alone.
Wherever there is a conscious at
tempt at popular self government, the
world over, there will generally be
found legislative attempt to destroy
the power of monopoly. The republic
of France, the governments of Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, the South
African Union, all make monopoly or
attempts to monopolize crimes against
the state.
This is so because private monopoly
is the denial Of freedom, which self
governing peoples demand. 1t is the
negation of democracy. Monopoly is
monarchy. Political equality is farce,
if industrial freedom in opportunity is
denied. Unless the latter obtains, the
former will be throttled and translated
into political absolutism. The forms of
the criminal and civil statutes, the
machinery for the enforcement of the
law, may differ with the character of
the peoples of the various countries
but the conscious legislative attempt to
destroy monopoly, as menace to free
dom, is present wherever government
is Immediately responsive and subject
to the control of it's subjects.
That is the significant fact in sur
vey of world wide evolution of industry
and it's relation to government.

fully, and in a way that shows that he
understands the duties and privileges
of the place he occupies.
Springfield Republican: There will
be a roar from the manufacturer S
association of Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania, in reply to the report of
the department of commerce that
''such of the manufacturers in this
district as may have suffered need
rather careful attention to business
methods than the imposing of tariff
tax to sustain them, while carrying on
business under conditions that are
essentially unsound." Senator Pen
roses constituents will naturally feel
insulted.

THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
UNION

A marked copy of The Jefferson
County Union, which is edited by the
Hoards, father and son, has been sent
to this office. 1t has vigorous and in
teresting editorial page, in which the
good and the bad are strangely mixed
Among the good things is fine arti
Gle on "The Country Newspaper"
From this article The Democrat quotes
an extract, which will be found under
the heading Press Points. But best of
all is a patriotic article which con-
cludes:
1t is fortunate for the peace of these
United States in these war times that
it has level headed president and still
more fortunate that there is enough of
good conservative sense in our people
to back him squarely on these unparti
san questions. One of the greatest es-
sentials of good citizenship is to know
where partisanship leaves off and pa
triotism begins.
A very bad thing in The Union is
railing accusation against Charles r.
Van Hise, president of the University
of Wisconsin. 1t is shamefully bitter
and vindictive.
The leading article in this issue of the
paper is headed ''Nosey" Legisl alton;
and this is the article that came marked.
1t is as bad as bad can be politically.
1t is filled with such coarse expressions
as fool legislation, fool laws, idiots,
lunatic law makers, etc. 1t offers un-
reasoning opposition to progressive
democratic legislation. 1t RACES against
the Workmen's Compensation Act. It
is signed II. l.. A., which are the mi =
tials of Hoard. the younger. He will
live to find out that the result of the
battle of the ballots in Wisconsin last
fall does not insure permanent victory
for those who want to stand still or go
backward. The fight for better things
in representative government will go
on. There be hills beyond Pentlands,
and firths beyond Fourth.

1t looks as though the men in the
saddle at Madison are becoming fearful
that they will not be able to make good
as tax reducers and are looking around
for someone on which to shift the
blame. They charge that the tax levy
of last fall was not high enough, that
over 81 900 900 was left out. After they
have had one term and messed things
up, AS they now seem to be doing, the
people of the state ought to give a
Democratic administration a chance to
make good on pledge of no state tax,
and that without reaction. High tar
iffites are invariably high takers in
state as we'll as in nation.

''They couldn't be possibly worse"
This is the way an old sailor described
a ships piratical crew. He didn't re-
fer to those Democratic senator's in
the Wisconsin legislature who go Re-
publican whenever they get chance.
Four of these senators recently voted
against resolution expressing sym
pathy for and confidence in President
Wilson. Could perversity go farther?
Their excuse is that they didn't like
the author of the resolution, Re-
publican.

There is room in the Democratic
newspapers of Wisconsin for more
strong original political articles. Too
often when an editor is rewarded with
federal position his newspaper is al
lowed to go to sleep politically. Of

entire, undivided time to the duties of
his Office; but somebody, somewhere,

That was a bad vote, when the
assembly by "a ayes to "a noes ad-
vanced the Hoffman bill providing for
the repeal of the appropriation made two
years ago for mems dormitories at the

the cost of university to go higher, to
close the door Of opportunity in the
face of poor boys and girls.
