PRESS POINTS
l.lIII TIIIII:

Oconto Enterprise: We have had the kind of
tariffs Gov. Phillip asks for, for over forty
years, and he will do great public service il he
will tell in his next speech, which one of the
many protective tariffs we have bad didn' t
breed corruption and build up monopolies.
Whitewater Register: The moral element of
the state will read with pleaure that there is to
be no more midway" at the state fair. Now
let the county fair fall into line and eliminate
the disgraceful shows.
Bloomington Record: When you hear an
argument for a higher protective tariff, just re-
mind the "argufier' that we now have the
highest protective wall ever built around this
countrv-the European war. Imports are smut
out more than ever before. 1t passes belief
that under these conditions there are still peo-
pie so foolish as to advocate higher tariff taxes.
Sioux City Union Advocate: Frank P. Walsh
may not he very popular with employers ex'
ploiters freebooters and political crooks, but
he will long be remembered by the common
people CT this country as the man who refused
to make joke of government investigation
of industrial conditions.
Delavan Republican: The secret dlsburse-
ments of money by such organizations as the
Home Rule and Taxpayers league must and
should be stopped. ANY organization that has
to work under cover is noteworthy of the sup
port and confidence OF the citizens Of the state.

BODY is M0TTONLESS I'M AIR.
Italian Gets Wonderful Results From
New Sky Apparatus.

Paris.-Louis Rota, an Italian en-
gineer, has solved the problem Of hold
ing an object motionless in space, ac-
cording to the Marseilles correspondent
of Petit Parisien. Rota is credited with
having constructed an apparatus which,
by the action of electric currents, can
be elevated to a height of 1000 to 5000
feet and kept motionless, or propelled
in any direction at a speed Of more
than 100 miles an hour.
Rota's apparatus is spindle shaped,
twelve feet long and two feet in dame
ter, and can carry a weight of ninety
pounds. It is said to remain motion
less in wind of considerable velocity
but if the wind becomes very strong it
rises automatically until it reaches a
calmer region of the air. The invention
Is based upon reactions obtained from
the electromagnetic forces Of the at
mosphere. ~~-.-~.

1000 foot piers extending INTO the in
ner harbor, besides two long shore line
piers, were planned and are now in
course Of construction. Officials now,
however, are Of the opinion that this
will be far more than Balboa will re-
quire for some years to come
1t was expected that the South Amer
lean steamship lines would make that
their terminal port and that probably
some of the Atlantic connecting links
would pass through the canal to deliver
their cargoes at the Balboa docks; also
it was thought that the cargo which
did not come through the canal in this
manner would be handled by the Pan
anna railroad.
The South American steamship lines,
however. suddenly decided to pass
through the canal and pick, up their
cargoes at the Cristobal terminals be-
cause they learned they could use the
canal, paying the tolls on ballast ba-
sis one way. return with full hold
and do it cheaper than if they made
Balboa their terminal. The high tides
at the Balboa terminals also had much
to do with their decisions. Besides,
freight rates on the Panama railroad
are said to be very high.

WRONG ON THE TARIFF.

Governor Philip is talking the same
kind of political economy that used to
be published in The Chicago Inter
Ocean; and his good friend the editor
of The Madisonian can't stand it. The
Madisonian says:
In talking at the state fair the governor said
you can't lower the cost Of food products by
legislation This is true. But if you cannot
lower the cost Of food products by Legislation,
then, by parity of reasoning, you cannot raise
them And yet the governor wants tariff on
farm products to help the farmer. 1t tariff
on his products will not raise their price what
earthly use is it to the farmer? If it will. then
by taking it off, you will lower the cost OF l1v-
ing, and the governors contention falls because
of inherent weakness.

MORE PIERS NEEDED
FOR CANAL TRAFFIC
Congestion So Great Third Be-
ing Built; Plan Fourth.

Panama.-Since the opening of the
canal a year ago the shipping in the
port of CriStobal, at the northern end
Of the waterway, has increased, SO rap,
idly that the two 1000 foot steel end
concrete piers, costing $2,5OO,OOO each,
are no longer adequate to care for the
vast amount Of freight handled. A
third pier is being built, and plans for
a fourth have been drawn up.
Frequently the congestion at the two
piers is so great that ships have to
wait their turn in order to get docking
room. This is causing considerable de
lay to traffic, especially that which
comes to the isthmus to be reshipped
to points along the coasts Of Central
and South America. These broken car
goes are frequently delayed from a
month to six weeks.
1t had been thought that Balboa, the
southern terminus of the canal, would
become the most important tranSShip-
ping port of the canal terminal. Two

A SPLENDID Endorsement.

The Waterloo Democrat: Governor
Phillip has given Senator Husting a
splendid endorsement. He declares
that Senator Husting is responsible for
defeating the plans of the administra-
ton at the last session. Senator Hust-
ing's water power measure is un-
popular with many of the governor s
friends. Senator Husting is one of the
few men in Wisconsin who have earn
ed the seat in the u. S. Senate by their
service to the people of Wisconsin dur
ing the last forty years.

ROBERT M. CRAWFORD, EDITOR
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1915.
IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY.

The Darlington Democrat is engaged
in showing how badly Senator Whit
man served the people during the long
session of the legislature. The people
of Lafayette county were not so badly
served, however, as the people of Iowa
county. Assemblyman Engerbretson
withstood the Tories; but Assemblyman
Cretney supported their undemocratic
program. Both Senator Whitman and
Assemhlyman Cretney are very pleas
ant, friendly fellows; but they went
wrong in spite Of our solemn pro-
test: and therefore we shall deem it
our bounden duty to read their records
into the ears of the people when they
come up for reelection. An index to
their careers appears in their attitude
on the water power question. Soon
after the opening of the session Mr..
Cretney offered joint resolution mem
oralizing congress to withdraw the
Wisconsin river from navigation. Such
action by Congress would unjustly en-
rich the owners of dams at the expense
of the state. And both Whitman and
Cretney supported the Ackley water
mower bill, the worst measure of all bad
measures brought before the legislature.
The roll call will be greatly in evidence
at the next election.

of the necessary papers in murder

accounted for the mistake. This is a
