Thought Records

A tinfoil philosopher has said: 'The
dogs" AS an example of logic, there
is a good epigram, but there is more of
cleverneSS in it than of love for hui
mainly. Man is all right in himself;
it is only when he reflects the thought
of others that he falls to their level.
No institution or group of men or as
ISOLATION is greater than the individ-
ual. A religious or an irreligious
man; democrat or republican, a
prOhlb1tiOniSt or an prohibition
ist, suffragiSt or an anti-suffragi
is not great or evil because he is re-
hgious man, a democrat, prohibition
list or a suffragist. He is great only in
that portion as he is conscientiously
honest in his convictions or evil in
that proportion as he goes against
them. Thus a man who believes in his
soul that a principle is right, does
wrong when he votes for a law that
would oppose that principle. Also he
does wrong by voing for law which
he intends later to help nullify. Think
for yourself and do what YOU think
is right Thus a man becomes truly
great. Do not record the thoughts OF
others. Thought is the light from
Heaven. Consideration of bodies of
men makes us hard and narrow
Think for yourself and let others think
for themselves. Don't be a thought

Washington Letter.

Washington, d. c., August 10TH
Democratic carelessness has raised a
doubt as to the integrity of the law
taxing future sales Of cotton and has
thrown the statute into the courts.
A suit has been brought in the fed
eral courts to test the constitutional
ity of the act, on the ground that it is
a revenue measure originating in the
senate.
The title declares that it is IAN act
to tax the privilege of dealing on ex-
changes, boards of trade and similar
places in contracts on the sale of cot
ton for future delivery"
1t was introduced by Senator Smith
of South Carolina, and was first pass
ed by the senate, the house afterwards
approving the senate bill with amend
menas. Section of the act provides
that upon any contract of sale of any
exchange, etc, there is hereby levied
tax of two cents for each pound of
cotton included in such contract"
The administration of the law is
delegated to the commissioner of In
ternai revenue.
Section T. article l of the constitu-
ton provides that "all bills raising
revenue shall originate in the house
of representatives
1t is on this section of the constitu-

going to dispose of his vessels
because of the seamen's bill,
which goes into operation on
November 4th next, would
make the operation of these
lines Improbable. THAT is all
a bluff" they declared. Now
comes the report that Captain
Dollar has sold two of his YES
sells, one to a Chinese, and the
other to a British firm, and ar
rangements are under way for
the sale of a third. This will

From State Capitol.

Madison, Wis, August 12.-Almost
at the same time that the charge is
being made in the state, and without
foundation that Governor Philip is
trying to cripple the University Ex-
tension department comes an inadver-
tent admission by man on the pay
roll OF this department of something
that has long been suspected.
1t IS, that at least part of the money
that the taxpayers furnish for this
iaudable enterprise is used for politi-
cal purposes. Grant L. Brightman,
who is acting head of the University
Publicity Bureau, made the statement
IN the presence of six reputable wit
nesses in Madison last week
Il am recommending that the appro-
prlatlon for my department be doubl-
ed Tor the next two years and | think
l am going to be successful If am, /
am going to put Governor Philip and
his administration out of business"
Now let us quote from the Budget
prepared for the University of Wiscon-
SIN, upon which the next appropria-
tons are being made Under the head
OF the Press Bureau appears the name
OF c. w. Holman with this notation in
red ink, Salary $500 per month.
Charged to Presidents contingent"
There is further notation in red ink,
Holman, leave for two months One
month vacation. One month without
pay"
Mr. Brightman is occupying the po-
sition in the absence Of Mr.. Holman,
who is in Europe
A typewriter note on the same page
follows:
Mr.. Holman's salary is charged ag-
ainst administration. He is attached
to the University Extension, which
pays for his stenographer, assistants
and office maintenance"
No one at the University seems to
know what the Press Bureau costs.
The question arises whether taxpayers
want this sort of thing to continue.
No one wants to cripple the Univer-
sity Extension department, and least
of all Governor Philip. But it is a
question whether the taxpayers are
willing to dig down into their pockets
to finance an aggregation of men like
Brightman to put any administration
out Of business

GAS it now appears, the big
task confronting the resolu-
tons committee of the next re-
publican national convention
will not be the framing of a
declaration on the tariff. The
country will await with far
more interest what is proposed
in connection with our foreign
relations" The foregoing is
the opinion Of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer (Dem.) But we
fancy the republican national
convention will have no diff
Guilty in dealing with the ques-
ton. The republican party is
coming back into power. 1t
will bring back with it a foreign
policy such as was practiced by
Seward, by Blaine, by John
Hay and by Elihu Root. That
is all the platform need to say
on the subject. The country
will understand and endorse a
declaration like that. And so
will the Plain Dealer, way

Civiiity.

Don't try to bully the world. 1t does
not pay. Whoever enters the ring for
opinion is pretty sure, eventually, to
a rough and tumble fight with public
be ''knocken out" Society is a Briae-
rus, and who would think of encoun-
tering with single pair of fists, a
hunderd-armed fellow? Better shake
the multitudinous hand of the giant,
good naturally, than unnecessarily pro-
woke his wrath. Despise the world if
it SO please you, but as you have to live
in the world and to lean on the world,
it is just as well to treat it civilly.
Shrewd men, who understand their
race, never seek a quarrel with So
ciety. They understand that is is
possible for an individual to lead and
quietly control a community, but not
to fight it down and not to force it
to their way of thinking by means of
