A number of large and representa-
tive meetings have been held to pro-
test against the severe sentences pass
ed upon those concerned in the Agari-
an campaign.
Warm interchanges took place at the
Tullamore Guardians meeting when
Mr.. Graham, M. p, proposed a resolu-
ton appealing to the Lord Lieutenant
to release Mr.. Adams and the other
six Geashill prisoners. If, he said,
they had stolen the cattle instead Of,
as alleged, engaging in a cattle drive,
the sentence could not have been
much more severe. Mr.. Birmingham
seconded. Mr.. Hart, Philipstown, said
1t was not the Judge who sentenced
these men, but the electors of North
Kings County. He would rot in Jail
before he would accept liberty under
the circumstances. 1.-THE election had
nothing to do with cattle driving" Mr..
Graham replied. AS the friend of Mr..
Adams, said Mr.. Kearney to Mr.. Ora
ham, I'VE don't want your company at

amongst a few Of the members, the
resolution was carried by 8 to s votes,

Damage estimated at $1,000 was

WHY Is A "REPRESENT?o

William DempSter Hoard, retired,
ex-singing school teacher, ex-farmer,
ex-soldier, ex-nurseryman, ex-editor,
ex-governor, has been selected by a
commission as Wisconsin's most dis
tinguished citizen" to represent this
state at the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton
The commission went through the
state with fine tooth comb looking
for someone to thus honor. The choice
is in keeping with good judgment, and
to find fault with the Hon. Mr.. Hoard
as representative citizen of the high
est ideals would be to display a hair
Drained sentiment, or worse. for the
ex-governor is a worthy, representa-
tive citizen, and more
But what is he going to do when he
gets to San Francisco to represent. !"
and how will he "represent?" Our
idea is that he will travel out of the
state with loud acclaim and land at
the Golden Gate show with loud ac-
claim.
There he will be conducted to a
large tavern, and into the dining room
where several men are conspicuously
attired with prominent expanses of
shirt front and a scarcity of vest. He
Will be given something good to eat,
something good to drink, and a good
cigar with pretty band around it
Will be offered to him; then someone
will solemnly arise and announce,
I'VE have with us tonight +" end
ing it all, possibly, by pinning to the
breast of Mr.. Hoard's coat bright
hued ribbon with gold letters and the
Wisconsin state seal printed on it,
All this will make his friends feel
jolly; but Mr.. Hoard is too sensible to
allow it to turn his head.
But again: Where does the "repre-
sent" come in?
Advertising campaigns of doubtful
virtue have been worked on a gullible
public before by circuses and other
form of show, and many have reaped
harvests of admission fees but of all
the transparent, foolish stunts ever
attempted this prominent citizen" fl
asco has any and all of them beaten
by seven rows of apple trees.
Mr.. Hoard would certainly be pass
ing up an opportunity for a pleasure
able sightseeing tour should he refuse
to junket, and to go he lends himself

ucated pig, Circassian queen, living
skeleton, two-headed baby, etc.
Again: Why is "Represent?''

WILSON'S WANE.

Suffrage has not been made a party
question, but partisan politicians have
often tried to profit from it. More Of
ten than not they have failed in this !;
and we regret the result of the recent
suffrage vote in New Jersey as case in
point. After lodging the question for
son, with loud acclaim, announced
that he would vote with the suffragists
in his own state. Immediately his
political understrappers set out to an
mex the suffrage issue and to tie an
other scalp to the presidents none too
plentiful string.
Mr.. Wilson merely announced that
he would support the suffrage amend
ment. At once it seemed taken for
granted in some quarters that this
sealed the success of the movement
The great man had spoken, the argu-
ment ran; what more remained to be
said or done? Calmer minds coun-
selled continued effort, but even they
thought the voters still to be under
the influence of the presidential spell
and that the voice from the White
House would swing New Jersey quite
strongly into line.
The suffrage amendment, however,
was defeated by something like so 900
majority. 1t carried only one county.
that the smallest in the state; and it
was lost, by tremendous margins, in
the presidents own precinct, city and
county
The moral seems to be obvious. It
is that President Wilson has lost a
lage measure of whatever public con-
fidence he once commanded Here was
an issue, possessing unloubted merit,
to which many thousands of sincere
and high-minded men, women and
newspapers have given ardent sup
port to an extent which warranted
them in looking for victory even with
out the presidents aid. Yet it is de-
feated by overwhelming figures The
conclusion seems to us inevitable that
the anti-suffrage vote in New Jersey
was swollen by the anti-Wilson sent
iment which is known to exist there,
and which found in this years special

NATIONAL COMMITTEE,

The Republican national committee
will meet in Washington, December
IA, to select a convention city and be-
gin mobilization for 1916 Chairman
Charles ID. Hilles made this announce
ment and indicated the main lines
along which the campaign to restore
the Republican party to power will be
waged. They are:
First-An attack upon the Demo-
cratic tariff
Second-Criticism of the Wilson ad-
ministrations handling of foreign af-
fairs in Mexico and Europe.
Third-Charges that Democracy
has failed to keep it's promises of eco
nomical administration and has failed
to keep other 1912 platform pledges
including the declaration in favor of
a single term for the president.
Fourth-Attacks Oh the administra-
TONS government ship bill and other
administration measures
By the time the national committee
assemblies the presidential campaigns
of the numerous candidates for the
Republican nomination should be we'll
under way, Hilles said
There is no lack of interest in the
1916 presidential race right now,''
said the Republican chairman. 'In
some of the states having native
sons" entered in the race, things are
getting lively.

to the people much less than it had
been for several years.
They took the quality of protection
out OF the schedules, but the cost OF
living went up and wages went down.
So did the industries of the country,
The prosperity that the people had en-
Joyed under republican administra-
lions was destroyed A full treasury
was depleted, and to meet an increas-
ing deficit war tax was levied and
an income tax assessed
But these did not meet the financial
needs of the country, and now Presi-
dent Wilson contemplates many tariff
changes. What confession of incom-
potency and inefficiency.
The democratic administration has
kicked the business of the United
States around as if it were a hound
dog. 1t drove hundreds of thousands
OF wage earners to the necessity of
feeding out of the hand of charity In
short, it put the industrial world on it's
"uppers" and forced it to depend upon
war for all the life there is in it.
Is it to be wondered at that the peo-
pie contemplate tariff changes? Not
at all, and they are going to delegate
republicans to make them just as soon
as they get an opportunity to do So

Woman suffrage was defeated in
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New
York in varying majorities from 35 ,000
to 100000. No difference what the
opinion on this subject may be, the
one fact stands out that in these three
states defeat was largely due to the
anti-suffrage movement headed by
women. Many of the most profound
thinkers in the country have espOused
the woman suffrage cause, but when
women, themselves, organize in such
force and finance campaign so liber-
ally, the thought naturally presents it
self that possibly the cry for the fe-
male acknowledgment is more noise
than necessity, and should the vote
be extended many women might feel
that they were having duty thrust
upon them Wisconsin has recorded
its opposition to woman's universal
vote in no uncertain voice, and
other states besides our own and
the three noted above have done
likewise. Woman suffrage, pretty
much like any other great reform
or movement, can not gain universal
approval until wanted, and the time
does not appear to be ripe now

NEW ATTACK ON THE SUGAR IN
DUSTRY.

Washington, Nov. Especial Cor
respondence) Prank C. Lowry is on
the job again. He is the philanthro-
pic gentleman who was paid by the
Sugar Trust to lobby the free sugar
provision through congress Lowry
posed as secretary of the Committee
of Wholesale Grocers," an organiza-
ton the existence of which was con-
fined to the fertile mentality of it's
secretary Under this committee
name, he sent out circulars printed
on yellow paper in patches of 10000
at a. time, all over the country, and
tried to convince housewives of the
men, that free sugar meant a reduc-
ton in price of cents pound
Mr. Lowry's latest move in the in
terest of the 'peepul is to suggest the
placing of a consumption tax of one
cent pound on sugar-briefy to tax
the domestic competitor of the sugar
trust out of business, so that imported
foreign sugar, handled by the refin-
ers, will hog the whole market.
At present the refners, who are the
importers of raw sugar, pay duty of
one cent a pound on their imported
raw sugar-the Cuban product makes
up their entire Importation One hum
dred pounds of raw sugar makes nine
ty-three pounds of refined The dom
este production is not subject to tax,
but by the substitution of a uniform
consumption tax for dutiable sugar.
the refners would gain seven cents
a hundred and their competitors lose
one hundred cents, net gain to the
reiners of $107 hundred. That
would mean the end of competition
for the sugar trust.
Because of the duty" says Mr..
Lowry, in his letter to President Will
son, containing his latest suggestion,
''the consumers will pay about 1884,
100000 more than would be the cost
under free sugar. OF this amount the
United States government will collect
in duty approximately $46,000,00 less
about $S,000,000, which will be re-
funded in drawbacks on sugar ex-
enhanced
value Of their product as a result of
the duty, the producers, within our
borders will divide as an indirect sub
Sldy the balance of approximately
S3S,000,000 Thus, according to Mr..
Lowry, the domestic producers get
more from the tariff than does the
government
This does not at all square with
the findings of either the republican
or the democratic members of the
finance committee after the hearing
of April, 1912, when Mr.. Lowry was
a witness The report of the repub-
lican members state:
The committee does not subscribe
to the contention that the retail price
per pound of our entire consumption
is raised b. an amount equal to the
duty collected per pound on our duti-
able sugar imports, nor does it con-
cede that if the duty were abolished
the retail price of sugar would be
lower by the amount of the duty re-
mItted.''
The minority report, signed by Sem
ators Baily, Simmons, Stone, John
Sharp Williams, Kern and Johnson,
declared:
THE tariff on sugar is peculiarly a
revenue tariff. Very much the major
part of the tax levied upon the con-
sumner of sugar and sweets goes ac-
tually into the United States treas
uryS for the use and behoof and benefit

of the American people. A minor part
OF the tax goes into the pockets of the
producers.
Yet every last one of these gentle
men, with the<exception of Bailey, re-
tired, and Kern, paired, when the test
came and they heard the crack of
Whlte House whip, voted for free
sugar against their expressed convic-
lions. Hence the hole in which the
democrats find themselves today on
account OF the sugar schedule.
