THE EDITORS JOB.

The Waterloo Democrat, newspaper
in which strong editorial articles ap-
pears, takes this correct view of the
work set before the country editor:
The editor of a rural paper who ex-
poets all his readers to agree with him
at all times must under rate the in
telligence of his readers. On the other
hand, the subscriber who expects to
dictate the policy of a paper must
under rate the manhood and the in
telligence of the editor. 1t is the bust
ness of the editor to determine what
shall go into paper and what shall
stay out. Every editor must decide his
policy for himself. Where no principle
that appeals to the editor is involved,
his decision to omit from his columns
matter that may be offensive squares
with public policy. We have known
many a mans usefulness to the public
to be impaired by his allowing himself

THE COST OF HABITATION.

President Charles r. Van Hise ap-
peared before the assembly committee
on education in opposition to the Hof-
man bill to repeal an appropriation
made for mems dormitory at the uni
versity. The proposed dormitory, said
DIR. Van Hise, would furnish rooms for
1000 students at rate of $3.50 to 50 a
week for room, the purpose being to
accommodate the poorer class of men
at the university. Madison correspond
ence to The Milwaukee News.
The law providing for the building of
mems dormitories at the University of
Wisconsin is one of the most democrat
ic moves that has been made for long
time in the matter of public education.
The cost of habitatiop in the student
quarter at Madison is outrageously
high. Mems dormitories would bring
down this cost for all time to come, and
they ought to be built. The appropria-
ton for their construction, -permanent
buildings, -does not greatly exceed
what is asked as biennial appropria-
ton to the state fair and it is thous-
and times more justifable than an ap-
preparation ever made as state aid to
any public show or exhibition what
ever. If the members of the legislature
fairly look into this matter the dormi-
tory law will stand 1t must stand if
the democratic free school system is to
be kept truly democratic. Kill the
Hoffman repeal bill.
Keep the cost of habitation for uni
versity students within due bounds.

Milwaukee Journal: The University

thrift in its student body. We doubt
it his type is found to any extent in

tax supported institutions are attended
by earnest young men and women who.
once they have graduated and often
before, must make their own way i'm

for anything but necessities. The cost
of living is a serious problem to the

In his news letter this week Ellis B
Usher lets himself out and knocks into
a cooked hat the contention of the Mil
waukee common council, the home rule
league, and others, that the control of
public service corporations should be
taken away from the state railway com
missions and given to municipalities.
He shows very clearly that no sort of
public utility is, in this day, local in
its service. Municipal control is i'm
possible.

to become the goat for someone else
What impresses one man as being very
important makes no impression what
ever on another. There are many
varieties of cowardice, but the worst
form of all is that which drives one
into an act for the sake of policy.
Moral courage to do what he regards
as best regardless of its effect upon
himself is what we expect of our public
men. Why should there be another
standard for men in private life or in
the editors chair?.

There was good deal of hand clap
ping when, at the opening of the legis-
lative session, Gov. Philip proposed a
law for the semi annual payment of
taxes. A bill for that purpose has since
been Introduces; but no interest has
been manifested in it. and it has not
yet received serious consideration. If it
had some selfish interest behind it the
case would be different. If, for in
stance, it proposed to give away water
powers, or to allow glucose to be sold
under the name of corn syrup, it would
occupy the center of the stage.

TWO YEARS OF WILSON.

! TWO YEARS OF WILSON.
New York World On the fifteenth anniversary of Lin
coins second inaugural Woodrow Wilson completes half his
Presidential term.
These years of the Wilson administration have help
ed to make history than any other years since Lin
coin The coming years of the Wilson administration
must inevitably be the most period that this
country has known since the Civil War.
1t is fact of importance that this crisis finds
in the White House President who is completely
himself Being Of himself he master of his party
and of his administration.
There is no kitchen cabinet. There no backstairs
advisers There secret influences that pull and
the policies of the Executive No underground wires run
from the White House into Wall Street into the head
quarters of any political committee Men may agree with
Mr. Wilson disagree with him. they may like him
may dislike him. but everybody knows that he and he alone
is President Everybody knows that during the remaining
two years of his term he and he alone will be President
very unusual man, meet to cope with vary unusual
situation the affairs of manknd-a President who in all
his official relations displays neither vanity resentment
anger personal ambition. If he has friends their
friendships counts for nothing the affairs of If he
has enemies, their enmy nothing in the balance of
government. He seeks neither to reward the
punish the other.
So evenly does he hold the scales that the members Of
the Diplomatic Corps, with all their highly developed aci-
ties for obtaining information have been able learn
where the Presidents personal sympaes lie in the great
conflict that is devastating Europe Whatever his 1nd1
vdua opinions may be- he has smothered them in the
sponsibilities of his office.
At this period in their first term Presidents have
been carefully calculating their chances of denomination and
reelection. Nobody knows whether Mr.. Wilson intends
to be candidate for reelection Not a member
of the Cabinet member of Congress, say of his
knowledge that the President desires reelection
that he would not refuse denomination What all of
them know is that the President would stoop from
principle to win either a denomination reelection.
That is where his great strength lies. That is where
his great usefulness lies in this crisis It is easy rattle
the sabre 1t is easy to make the welkn ring It easy
be spectacular and sensational and theatrical It is
easy to be demagogue. It easy ugge with the fate
of a Nation when foresee what the day
will bring FORTH But it is not easy to be calm and
restrained and judicial It is easy face every
responsibility without prejudice and without passion It
not easy to hew straight to the line of first principles
regardless applause praise denuncation
is easy be when the world has given itself
over to madness.
The good fortune of the people of the United
States the storm and of these coming years that

The thought of property qualiica-
ton crops out rather strongly in the
local politics of Madison, the capital
city of Wisconsin, where a candidate
for alderman advertises as his strongest
claim for support that he has resided in
the ward for q years and paid taxes
for 30 years.

THE PROPERTY QUALIFICATION.

The Vermont Senate in refusing to
give a third reading to the House bill
giving votes to women who own real
estate may not have been influenced
unfavorably by the arbitrary limitation
proposed. However, it is rather late in
American history to consider property
qualifications" in extending the fran
chise. The bill as it stood was not a
good one.
The above paragraph is quoted from
The Springfield Republican. a great in
dependent newspaper that seldom
swerves from true democratic moor
ings. The spirit of the property quail
fcation for voting and holding office
shows up every once in a while. 1t is
hard for it to down. 1t is not so much
wonder that it is urged on the part of
women, who are only breaking. into the
political game, when so many men, to
the work of self government born, at
tach so much political Importance to
the ownership of property.

Jasper county Jail at Monticello, Ga,
Thursday night by mob and lynehed,

he said, and the four negroes were for
chilly taken from. the jail. Their bodies,

sKY-HrGH WHEAT.
May Option Hits s1.45H at Chicago
Foreign Buying in Millions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16 - Immense ex-
port business caused a fresh upheaval
yesterday in the price of wheat and
flour, aud even more so in rye and
corn. The foreign buying of wheat
and ccrn WAS counted in millions of
bushels. Wheat went to $l.45H for
May delivery, as against $l.433s at
highest Thursday or any time before
the war began. Flour jumped 20 cents
q barrel and corn and rye, respectively,
3as cents and ) cents a bushel.
Before the market was an hour old
May wheat selling at $1.44as01a had
gained mere than two cents a bushel.
Adviees from Kansas and Nebraska in
dicated that farmers were selling buC
little. On the other hand, there seem
ed to be no limit to demand for ocean
shipment, regardless Of supposed scare
ity of vessels. Assertions that all the
wheat a1hoat at Buffalo had been with
drawn from sale was regarded as espe-
eiailv significant. Ordinarily such a
condition would not be brought about
until far into the spring.
