Still They Wonder Why.

The two women were discussing that
never failing theme-the incompetency
of domestic servants. And the bit of
the conversation we overheard gave
us line on a possible reason for many
a disappointment in that line.

WHAT in Hades is Bob kicking Phil
ipp for? If Philip has not reduced
state burdens, then he has shown him
self as good progressive as Bob him
self; if he has increased them, then he
must be progressive after Bob's own
heart, for this is precisely what Bob
did when he was governor; if he has
reduced them, then he must be in
hearty accord with the opinion ex-
pressed by Bob in the fall of 1914, when
he stated the people would not complain
of over-taxation without just reason.
Viewing Bob's attacks on the governor,
from any angle one may reasonably
choose, it is plain they are inspired by
jealousy, pure and simple. When Bob
wanted to elect Blaine and defeat Nc
Govern last fall, he admitted that taxes
were too high and should be reduced;
now he says they are not high enough!

AND Col. Roosevelt, lining up "big
business" for the fight against Wilson,
at dinner at the residence of Judge
Gary, of the Steel Trust, is credited
with putting Justice Hughes at the
head of his list of acceptables, with
Hadley, of Missouri, second, and Knox,
OF Pennsylvania, third. But the alert
newspaper photographers failed to
snap the smile on the ivory-set face of
the Colonel. The dinner has certainly
created a stir. Democrats, Republi-
cans and Progressives were there, and
while the president was honeymooning,
and while the wires were sizzling with
the vehemence of the latest note to
Austria, and while Great Britain con-
tinued to undo the results Of the little
fracases of 1776 and 1872, and while
Mexico writhed in the effects of alter
nate "watchful waiting" and Quitting
in, these eminent and powerful Amer
leans resolved that the thing to do was
to beat Wilson. You can imagine how
the Colonel's teeth clicked.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT spent week in
Wisconsin. He gave expression to the
belief that America would pay for this
war after it had ended, and that the
great exports would be offset by the
greater imports of European goods
after the wars end. We know that
French and English buyers are now in
this country arranging for American
machinery and raw products to be used
in rebuilding their industries. A great
part of these will be needed for their
domestic uses, but all acknowledge
that after the war every nation will be
hungry for commerce, and the world S
markets will be solicited as never be-
fore. Billions in manufactured goods
will be thrown upon the bargain coun-
ters. American manufacturers with a
lower tariff barrier will be forced to
compete with the laborers of Europe,
and we shall be put to it to keep our
industries at high tide of operation.
The foreigners are telling us that they
will have need for all they can make at
home themselves, in the hope that the
tariff will be let alone, and they can
compete with American manufacture
ers, but there are wise one here who
believe now is the time to prepare for
this invasion of foreign goods, and
place the tariff barriers beyond the
reach of European imports.

THE candidacy of Hon. John M.
Whitehead of GAINESVILLE for a seat in
the u. S. senate was announced on
Monday. We do not recall another
man of such ripe political experience
who is better fitted to represent the
state of Wisconsin in the halls of con-
gress. His republicanism is unques-
toned, neither is ability or his honesty
of purpose to serve the whole people of
this state His long service in the
state senate when the most important
legislation was being enacted brought
to him reputation of leader In wise,
constructive law making which we be-
ieve the people will recognize as
candidate for the higher office.

Lawyers and Liars.

The eminent cross examiners of New
York city have their favorite methods
Of knowing when a witness is telling
the truth or lying. One lawyer says
he can tell when witness is lying by
the movement Of the lips. Another
declares the hands form the best ba-
rometer, and another declares the
twitching of the muscles of the cheeks
is sure sign that the witness has
been trapped in lie. Still another
disciple of Blackstone says that facial
expression always helps him. as well
as watching the feet, which are usual
~ shifted uneasily when the lie is ap-
parent. Then another declares that
by keeping constant vigilance on the
eyes Of the witness he knows when he
has his man going" If taken as COM
plete formula it would mean that
perjurer to escape detection would
have to school his face to be impressive.

IT MUST come home to the people of
Whitewater who came in contact with
MIR. Taft on Saturday evening and
sensed his broad patriotism and his
grasp of the big problem of the hour,
how great was the contrast between
him and Senator a,Follette who would
be president. Mr.. Taft may not agree
with Mr.. Wilson but he does not say so
feeling that the situation is too critical
to embarrass the chief executive with
criticisms of any kind. ''Stand by the
president he says and sets an example
for us to follow. What of Bob who
claims to be of the same timber?
though congress of which he is men,
Ger, is setting at Washington consider
ing matters of a crucial nature, Mr.
J .aFollette feels under no obligation to
he people who elected him to share in
s deliberations. On the contrary he
is chasing to the cross roads of Wiscon-
sin calling all but his own following
dishonest and preaching pessimism of a
vicious type. His thoughts are not
upon national issues, but upon that
selfish one, his own political ambition.
Don't accuse the Register of prejudice,
rather watch for yourself and see if
you think his conduct in Wisconsin
while his seat is vacant in congress is
consistent with what one would expect
of an unselfsh, patriotic public servant
concerned with the nations safety.

Mr.. Royals was as fine as ever grew
in South Georgia.
How long will our so-called lead
ing papers of the State continue
to advise us farmers how and what
to do, and yet refuse to raise their
hand and use their pen in defense
to such robbery?
Oh you political papers, how can
you, in sight OF God and in the pres
ence OF your fellow man, protect
Jack SIaton in his committing
Frank, and yet are afraid to publish
a letter from a poor, handwriting
farmer when he has been robbed Of
his daily bread that lie and his fam
lily has earned by the sweat Of the
brow? 1 say again, how can you toll
crate such politics?
Mr.. Watson. | again appeal to you
to publish this letter, for others will
not. | realize that your heart goes
out for the man or boy who follows
the ploW, when you see the figure
heads stand by and see him rob with
out raising his voice or using his pen
in defending them
Our leading papers can give us all
the advice as what to do and how to
do to be independent and how to get
rich, but when we need them we
can't find them.
