GOVERNMENT MUST NOT BE
EARNED OUT.

In The Union Advocate, published at
Sioux City, by w. II. Bastian, formerly
Mineral Point boy, we find the following
truthful paragraph credited to The
American Federationist:
Shall a democratic people delegate
its police authority to private employers?
This is the question which arose in West
Virginia, Michigan, Colorado, and in
many other localities where employers
have sought to hold employees in sub
lection, and has arisen anew in New
Jersey. Use of police authority by pri-
vate individuals or in the interest of pri-
vate individuals is one of the most men
acing, most disturbing conditions effect
ing industrial relations between work
ers and employers.
To enforce the law is alone the func
ton of duly chosen public officers.
When government is sublet it is self
government no longer.

A JUST LAW.

At the last public hearing on the
waterpower measures before the legis-
lature, Senator Husting told the joint
committee on conservation some things
which for their own well being the
people of the whole state ought to know.
His argument is thus reported in The
Madison Democrat:
AS to the existing act, called 1.-THE Husting
bill. " it was not BILL but state law-not
Husting' s or anybody else's. 1t was based on
principle and right of the state dating back to
1888 and there was clause in the ordinance of
1887, as to freedom of the rivers, construed to
mean that the state was trustee. Mr.. Bundy
for the first time had admitted that the riparian
owners did not own the energy of the running
water, while the water power advocates had
always claimed they did. He discussed the noted
Dunbar case and said the national supreme
court had declared the riparian's use of power
was wholly subject to the power of congress as
to navigation, and Wisconsin had the same
rights over waters as the United States had
over waters of which it took jurisdiction. The
bill passage of which was now asked (Ackley
measure) was intended to make the state and
the riparian tenants in common, but the court
had established the point that the qualified right
of the riparian was absolutely subject to navi-
CATION.
Senator Hlsting continued in argument to
the effect that the people of Wisconsin had a
sovereign right in the water powers of the state

The Alaskan Railroad.

Springfield Republican: Secretary
Lanes choice of route for the new
government railroad in Alaska is
strongly commended by George w.
Perkins, although the choice involved
rejecting an offer from the Guggen
helms and j. P. Morgan & Co. of their
Copper River and Northwestern road.
The route decided upon, as Mr.. Perkins
says, had to be based somewhat on the
needs of the navy and no more direct
line between the coal fields and the
harbor where the warships must be
coaled could have been chosen. Alaska
is in for some real development as the
new line is built and town site booms
are already starting along the route
marked out for over 400 miles into the
interior

when he said that there would be an
emergence Of the spiritual forces direct
ly following the war. There is big
| thought in this. and one which is not
generally dwelt upon by those who give
consideration to the effect of the war
nor the people of the world.
Oconto Enterprise: The legislature
has passed the tipping bill' and it's up
to the Governor. He should sign it and
make it law. Tipping is tapping,
that's all. It's a growing graft that
should be discountenaced and destroyed.
Black River Falls Journal: 1t seems
that determined effort will be made to
amend the anti discrimination law
passed by the last legislature, after
six year fight. This law is of particu
lar protection to the farmers, creamer-
les and grain associations and also to
the newly organized co operative pack
ing plants. Without it, the unfair
competition of the monoplies threatened
them, and also the small dealers in ev-
cry town were up against the growing
tendency of expanding commercial or

oratory. :. They talk so necessarily

have that everlasting rotation of the
tongue that an echo must wait until
they die before it can catch their last
words"

the growing size of tips, feeling that
they are victims of graft, yet bothered
by the fear of being unfair to work

and the Ackley bill would surrender it into the
hands of men who were selishly interested.
There had been three quarters of century in
which to develop water powers in the state, and
yet to hear them talk, one would suppose they
had never thought of doing it until year and
nine months ago. The existing act could not be
blamed for lack of development. The reason
for that was that the time was not yet ripe.
In regard to probable increase of interstate
transmission, he pointed to the danger that
with franchie unlimited power might be con-
tracted for transmission for hundred years
into another state and Wisconsin thus deprived
Of it's benefits.
He dealt with the great bone of contention as
to compensation and declared the plan of the
present law in that respect was fair.
He declared the underlying purpose of the
pending bill was not for the public interest but
for private interests.

FACTS ABOUT SUGAR"

is the title of publication which comes
regularly to this Office. 1t claims to be
devoted to American sugar production
Rut from our reading of its matter we
take il that it's aim and constant occu-
patton is preaching the nonsense or
protection. In one column on the hrst
mage 'of the number now before us,
which is for April, 1915, the claim is
made that it is only the war which pro
longs the life of the beet sugar industry
threatened with tariff changes; ana
in another column on the same page an
attempt is made to prove that consum-
ers failed to benefit by tariff changes
even before the war. Some high takers
are hard to please. In one breath they
claim that tariff reduction will work
destruction through the lowering OF
prices; and in the next breath they
claim that the consumers receive no
benefit.
Sugar is to go on the free list May l.
1916. 1t is not reasonable to expect
great deal of benefit to the consumer
before that date.
A news item in Facts About Sugar
tells that arrangements have been made
for the removal of the Knight Sugar
Company plant from Alberta, Canada,
to Layton, Utah.

Before the war Germany supplied
from it's workshops the greater part of
Russia's demand. and as for commodi-
ties it could not supply itself acted as
the middleman, exacting large profits.
German merchants readily adapted
themselves to Russian customs and
had an added advantage of national

"After this war Russia will prefer to
buy elsewhere all the goods it used to
buy in Germany upon comparatively
equal terms.

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
Of Course Young Mother Could Only Reason That the Fault Must Be
 With the Scales.

The story is told of a young mother who, after her first baby had been born, hurried to a hardware store to purchase a pair of scales, that she might be able to keep tabs on the re- markable growth of her first born.
 When she got them home and weighed the baby for the first time the little bunch of humanity did not quite measure up to her expectations and she promptly carried the scales back, stating that they were not satisfac- tory. Asked by the storekeeper what the difficulty was, she replied:
 q think the scales are not right. My baby did not weigh as much as 1 think she ought to-
 Did it ever occur to you," asked the hard-hearted seller of hardware, that the fault might be with the baby and not the scales?"
 She saw the point and kept the scales-Brockton Enterprise.
