Canadian Nonsense.

''You want a coy home, free life
and sufficient income. You want edu-
cation for your children and some
pleasure for your wife. You want in
dependence. Your burden has been
heavy and your farm hasn't paid. You
work hard and are discouraged. You
require a change" ETC., etc.
So says Canada to the Wisconsin
farmer. Such bunk many weeklies are
forced to print because of contracts
between Canada and publishing con-
Germs which supply ''patent insides'
for country newspapers. But this from
the report of the Canadian government
agent for Wisconsin to the Canadian
superintendent of immigration at OF
tawa, is suggestive:
''In the southern or older parts OF
Wisconsin find less desire than for
merly to move West. This is account
ed for by the fact that dairying, which
is the chief business of this district,
has been very profitable for the past
two or three years and is getting bet
ter every year. . ~
Getting better every year,! We
believe it is and the industry only nice
ly started. And there's an empire yet
to be developed within the state. The
Wisconsin farmer never was more
prosperous and the prospect for future
development never so bright as at thu;
time.

Lunar Vegetation.

Professor Pickering of the Harvard
astronomical observatory declares that
there is nothing less true than that the
moon is without air, water or vegeta-
ton. There are certain large lunar
areas that darken toward lunar noon
and fade out toward lunar sunset.
They correspond in some degree to the
so called Marian seas, and Professor
Pickering uses the term fields" to de-
scribe these plains OF slopes, which he
believes to be covered with vegetation.
He is convinced that the dark fields to
be seen during the lunar summer do
not owe their blackness to shadow, for
you can see them at full moon when
shadows are absolutely invisible. The
blue-black color Of the fields and ca~
nails, he argues, can therefore be owing
only to a discoloratiOn of the surface
that comes alike on slopes and levels
in the lunar summer, and that is inviS-
IDLE in the spring and autumn. We
know of no mineral that acts in that
manner, and the only possible eXpla-
nation seems to be that it is the result
of q covering of vegetation -Vn''th'e

Economy by Increase.

Former President Taft, in an article
in the Saturday Evening Post, gives
statistical attention to the lack of rela-
ton between Democratic promises of
administrative economy and Democratic
practices. Performance is not Wis
able appendage to pledge. The desire
to be sparing, indicated at Baltimore,
lacked continuity. It's short way
from here to Washington, but too long
away for economy to travel.s
The Democrats assembled In Balti-
more voted for "a reduction in the
number of useless offices, the salaries
of which drain the substance of the
peoples toll. .
This was noble rhetoric, plcturlng as
it did luxurious Republican satrapy,
full of insolence and power and flushed
with wine, and fattening on the sub
stance which tax collectors wrenched
from the sweating citizens of the ma
ton.
The Democrats assembled in Wash
ington created over IA, 256 new offices
and provided for SIG, 600, 900 in new pay
checks and abolished 8, 1874 offices which
had required 100000 in salaries.
''This makes net increase of 1922
specific new offices" says Mr.. Taft,
with specific salaries amounting to
Sc, or, O49."
This method of reduction may be ex-
planned by assuming that no office
which finds a deserving Democrat is
useless office. We must either deny
the existence Of an obligation to the
deserving or concede that the offices
are useful.
The sad thing about it is that people
who find it difficult if not impossible to
take liberal view of the thing become
skeptical. Economy ought to mean eff
ficiency, and efficiency is what this
country needs. People becoming skep-
tical pay no attention to party pledges
and government by parties loses part
of its value. If voters do think it pos
sible to call the pledge makers to ac-
count for their derelictions, slippery
rhetoricians usually are able to beguile
them and the hypocrisy gets no ade-
quate punishment.
When we find way of establishing
a direct and consequential responsible
ity, of putting men in office to do GER
tain things and of turning them out if
the things are not done, We'll have a
better organized democracy. : Chicago
Tribune

ALL that is required to be trans
portation magnate now is to own a
Ford car. In nearly all of the large
and many of the small cities the ''jit-
ney" bus is cutting into the profits of
the street car companies and making
owners of autos rich. When it was
first suggested that owners of machines
could make any money carrying pas
sengers for a five cent fare, it was
thought to be impossible A few, wiser
than the rest, started ''jitney' lines
with their machines. 1t has been dem
onstrated in San Francisco that the
owner of a car can clear from six to
ten dollars day by carrying passeng-
ers at the 'iitney" rate In most of
the cities these buses follow the routes
of the regular street cars and are max
ing trips on regular schedules. A Git
ney," by the way, is nickel. five
cents.

IF WISCONSIN really desires socialism
its business men should ardently favor
the proposed constitutional amendment
permitting the state to bond itself to
secure funds to loan on lands. And if
on land, why not on business blocks,
factories, mercantile stocks and chat
tells? Then establish as next step,
state bakeries, laundries, shops, state
doctors and lawyers, state steamboats,
on our lakes, state fuel yards and groc-
cries, state garages, state contractors
and builders and of course state rail-
roads? State life insurance has been
started, though it is not too late to be
killed; state fire insurance was tabooed
at the polls last fall; now the time is
here to consider seriously the various

WALWORTH county school officials
may be interested to learn that bill
has been introduced at Madison to in
crease the minimum salary of school
teachers in the state from $40 to $50 a
month. The last Legislature fixed the
salary at $40 and this bill proposes a SO
per cent increase of this minimum. If
the bill would only go step further
and provide a guarantee that every
teacher would be worth the $50. it
might have some merit. But, by the
way, haven't we heard good deal the
past year about government being re-
stored to the people" Then why not
leave this question of teachers pay in
the hands of the local boards of educa-
ton? They represent the taxpayers
who have to foot the bills. -Elkhorn

THE special legislative Investigating
committee has lifted the lid far enough
to bring into the lime light some of the
methods of the tax MASTERS that are
truly astounding. For instance, an In
ventory shows the state has over
million of envelopes on hand and paper
enough of certain kinds to last twenty
years, bought in ten car lots, and is
paying $1,000 year rent for storage
houses where it is piled up to get dingy
with age. There seems to be ample

Deputy Auditor General of the Com

on Christmas Eve. 1870. on a farm in
Miff1in township, Pittsburgh, but when
he was nineteen he got tired or calcu-
lating crops and applied for a position
with the Fidelity Title and Trust Com

messenger and after twelve years of
diligent and energetic labor he had
climbed to the position of treasurer.
He remained there eleven years and
having demonstrated his ability in the
conserving end of business he went
into the producing end, becoming a
manufacturer. He is connected with
a number of organizations, president

For President of U. S.
SteciaI to The Telegraph

Philadelphia. Dec. 24.-Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft declared
positively yesterday that he will not be
a candidate for the presidential NOM
ination.
Mr.. Taft spent three hours in Phil
adelphia yesterday while on his way
TO make an address in Allentown. On
his arrival he said. in reply to ques-
tions put TO him by reporters:
II am through with politics. l will
positively not be a candidate for the
Presidency. Even If l am nominated
unanimously. 1 will not be a candi-
date"
When asked If Roosevelt had been
indorsed by Republican National Com
mitteemen. Mr.. Taft replied:
How should I know?"
He was asked if he thought Mr..
Roosevelt should become a candidate.
His only reply was a smile. the famous
Taft smile; He had no comment to
make on the Gary dinner.
Mr.. Taft was then asked if he
thought any of Pennsylvania's native
sons" were of presidential caliber.
Pennsylvania has many great citi-
zens," he answered, but I am not pick
ing candidates. 1 am through with
politics.
