Partizanship.

Partisanship may be legitimate ad-
hesion to party, or it may simply be an
association for selfish ends This lat
ter partisanship may become the bane
of national existence, as it is organ
lied to pirate of principle while it is
grabbing the spoils. AS one writer
puts it, such partisans are bound to-
gether by the cohesive power of pub
lie plumber" This perverted parti-
sanship bends it's greatest effort to the
control of political situations through
organizations masking under the
names of social or moral associations.
Under a plea of morality, or reform,
they seek to gain office or power, re-
CARELESS of the greater good of the
state or the nation. The methods of
such partisans may be distinguished
easily. They are always the same
pledges from candidates, falsehood,
treachery, the denial of obligations
and corruption of officials either by
threats of defeat or promises of ia
vors. Frequently the efforts of such
partisans are inspired by zeal, but
zeal in bad cause may be even a
greater evil than that which the yea
lot would try to remedy. Reform in
itself may be desirable, but if the con-
sequences of that reform are worse
than the evil reformed, nothing is
gained and progress is hindered Par
tisanship should be regulated by COM
mon sense and knowledge.

Justice Hughes.

The continued discussion of Justice
Hughes as a possible republican can
didate for the presidency next year
does little credit to either the party or
to Justice Hughes The Justice was
thought to have definitely removed
himself from the field of active poll
tics five years ago when he accepted
an appointment to the bench; and
there is evidence in writing, over his
own signature that he continues so to
think. In a letter, addressed to a
friend in New Jersey, Justice Hughes
has made it clear that he regards his
acceptance of the judgeship as a life
contract for a specialized field of la
Dor from which it would be improper
for him to retire, from which he does
not intend to retire, and in which his
services might be seriously diminish
ed in value if there is continued dis
cussion of him as a candidate for DO
1itical Office
No one will doubt Justice Hughes
fitness for the presidency No one will
question the enthusiasm which his
candidacy would arouse. But this is
not the point. He has undertaken to
devote his life to the Interpretation of
laws, not to their execution; and, as
balanced against one or two terms in
the White House, he sees in this by
far the larger opportunity for service
to his fellow citizens. He made this
choice deliberately, five years ago. He

GREAT CLUBBING OFFER.
wisconsin Farmer and the WtertOwn
Weekly Leader For $3.50 For a
Year-Offer Limited.

Mr.. Farmer: You know what the
Wisconsin Farmer is. You know
what the Watertown Weekly Leader
was and what it is today.
With the Improvement made in the
Leader, the management is DESTROYS
OF increasing the circulation several
hundred before the first of January,
1916.
The Leader is now recognized as
one of the very best weekly papers in
the state. Like old wine, it improves
with age
Arrangements have been made
whereby the Leader can club with
the Wisconsin Farmer and for a linn
tied time both papers will be offered
for the price of one-the nominal
sum of $3.50
In this clubbing arrangement far
merS OF the county can secure a farm
journal of reputation and standing
and local county paper for the price
OF the latter alone This offer will
hold good for limited time only.
Notice will be given at the expiration
Of the remarkable clubbing offer.
This offer is not only good for new
subscriptions to the Leader, but to old
subscribers as we'll. Every farmer
who is now a subscriber to the Lea
der who pays up his back subscrip-
ton, if any, and a year in advance,
will receive the two papers for the
price of one.
1t is urged that every friend of the
Leader on the rural routes and rural
sections, notify their neighbors and
friends of the exceptional bargain.
This is an offer that should act as
a stimulus for much larger subscrip-
ton list, to say nothing of the great
Improvement which has been made in
the Leader.

Experience I'm Government Owner
ship and How 1t Works.

The experience of the Dominion of
Canada in ownership and operation of
railways jointly with private enter
prise points very clearly to the diff
culties that would have been encoun-
tered by the United States il 1t had en-
acted the Ship Purchase Legislation
proposed by certain Democrats who
desired the government to become a
stakeholder in a gigantic corporation
in which private individuals should al
so have an interest. Canada is being
compelled, against its wishes, to go in
to the ownership and operation of rail
ways. The Province of New Bruins
wick granted a sum of money and also
guaranteed other sums to aid in the
construction of the st. John Valley
railroad, 200 niles in length The ag-
gregate liability of the Province was
$4,000 per mile. At the end of five
years, the company had failed to COM
plete its task and the Canadian gov
eminent has an uncompleted railroad
on its hands. Other Provinces and the
Dominion itself have had similar ex-
perience. 1t is safe to say that in
practically every instance joint part
nership between government and pri-
vate enterprise will ultimately result
in exclusive government ownership
and operation.

Mr.. Cody Makes Reply.

Mr.. Cody has showed a letter from
David Rogers, anti-saloon attorney
saying he is satisfied justice Rohr of
Watertown, had no Jurisdiction to try
the B1ttner case and that he better
make a finding of the fact and dis
miss the case, as the change of venue
should have been taken to Justice
Stoppenbach instead of to Justice
Rohr. Mr.. Rogers advises me to com
mence an action against the two JUS

Cheap Sugar Promise Was Not
Fulfilled by Democrats.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. Especial
spondence-'I believe in free
sugar. 1t will save to every house
holder in this country two cents upon
every pound of sugar" Thus spake
the Colossus of Kentucky, Senator OIL
lie James, as he stove in the table with
his gavel and assumed the office of
permanent chairman of the Democrat
ic National Convention at Baltimore,
June 27, 1912 Householders at that
time were paying five and half cents
pound for sugar, but up to date no
one has reported its purchase at the
retail price of three and half cents.
That was some more Democratic bunk.
Just why Mr.. James should have en-
phasized his antipathy to the sugar du
ties i'm a speech OF acceptance of the
national Craftsmanship, it was reserv
ed for later developments to discover
When the Democratic Congress took
up the Underwood tariff abomination,
Mr. James worked for free sugar with
a singleness of purpose and wealth
of ignorance of the subject matter al
most terrifying But he convinced the
President that sugar should go on the
free list, Wilson snapped his fingers
and Congress jumped to his bidding,
wholly obnoxious as duty free sugar
was to many of the Democratic party.
This is the party, by the way, which in
the 1912 platform announced: 1--WE
believe in the preservation and main
tenance In their full strength and in
tegrity of the three coordinate bran
ches of the Federal Government"
1t now transpires that Ollie had the
interests of the distillers of Kentucky
red-eye at heart far more sincerely
than the domestic felicity of the hum
BILE householder throughout the land.
The liquor interests swere being har-
ried and baited on every hand and "the
South was going dry" Some of the
Kentucky Bourbons, liquorishly speak
ing, got their heads together and evol-
we'd great thought, namely: IF we
can succeed in getting Congress to
make sugar free of duty, that will
mean loss of revenue to the Govern
millions of dollars annually from SUI
gar customs. This loss of revenue
will make the Federal Government
more than ever dependent on other
sources of revenue, particularly inter
nal revenue of which the distilled spir-
its pay nearly one-half Thus the at
titude of the Federal Government will
be more favorable to US, and this will
be reflected by a more tolerant spirit
on the part of the dear public. And
the champion Of our cause shall be OIL
lie James, q. S. Senator"
This was the deus ct machina in the
sugar schedule, and now the question
is, will President Wilson permit Con-
gress to amend the tariff law and re-
tain the present duty on sugar which
represents a cut of % per cent of the
Republican rate? And, also, how will
Senator James square himself with the
President for the imposition practiced
upon him?

Postmaster General Burleson an
nounces that the parcel post is paying
profit. While that is merely his op-
inion, given in the absence of any def
mite facts upon which a safe conclu-
sion could be based it furnishes a very
proper occasion to remark that the
postmaster general placed an addition
al burden upon the railroads without
giving them additional pay when he
required them to transport, as parcel
post matter, money which had previ-
ously been carried by the railroads as
express matter. In various other ways
he increased the amount of parcel post
matter transported without increas-
ing the pay of the railroads. Perhaps
litigation or an investigation will
sometime show the extent of this ad-
dltIonal service required without cor
responding compensation, but until
that is shown it will not be possible
for anyone to say whether the parcel
post pays profit aao~e all rightful
charges against it 1t is a good bet
that it doesn't under the Burleson
rates and weights.
