PRESS POINTS

Baraboo Democrat: When the Democratic
party came into power, one of the first measures
up for consideration was the currency bill. Any
measure which the Democratic party backed
was naturally viewed with suspicion by Wall
Street. The bill introduced was unquestiona-
bly, passed for the purpose of taking from Wall
Street its great power. It's passage was for
weeks matter of doubt. 1t was fortunate for
the Democratic party that the bill was passed
and in successful operation before the war in
Europe came on If this had not been so, we
would have experienced the worst financial
panic that the country ever witnessed
Referring to the achievements of the present
legislature as summed up by The Iowa County
Democrat, which he calls moderate conserv-
ative Sheet" Editor Barry of The Richland
Democrat says:
Don't worry about the reaction; the people
of Wisconsin are wise to all this shamming.

people in the matter of the control of
the waters of Wisconsin.
I have great regard for Senator
HustiHg. and his bill which was enact
ed into law was a decided step in the
right direction, even though it did not
go anywhere near as far as I think
should be gone in forever settling the
question of who shall own and control
the waterpowers of Wisconsin. and if
more are built, why they are b1ilt,
how they are built, and by whom they
are built.
A question of such great importance
should not be settled from the stand
point of political party, nor faction in
political party. but fixed only upon
fundamental principle of right.
am very sorry indeed that the pre-
sent Governor allows error to control
him, and that under the pretext that
the development of Wisconsin is
hindered by refusing to give the
peoples wealth in the waters of our
State to a few hungry seekers after
special privilege.
There are times when it is better to
be right than to be Governor, and we
who are urging the right in this matter
may console ourselves by that thought
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN STRANGE.

Governor Philip recently went down

Governor Philip recently went down
to Sheboygan on invitation and spoke
before a commercial organization. In
the course of his address he denounced
Senator William Bichler because he
would not always ride on the admins
tration wagon. Senator Bichler is for
tunate. Because Of his years of service
he has been looked upon as the Demo
cratic leader in the legislature; and he
ought to have bid defiance to the
Philip administration long ago. But
the break has evidently come at last.
A Democratic member of the legislature
can not stand well with himself and
his constituents who are looking to him
to do that which is right, and stand
we'll with this administration at the
same time. In the campaign of next
year the roll calls of the session of 1915
will be read into the ears of the people
Of the state; and to show that they
lined up with men who are trying to
wipe democracy off the statute books
will not be to the honor of Democratic
law makers.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-06-10

They have the measure of their governor. They
also have the measure of the legislature. But
what has become Of the reforming, reforming
double geared reforming, progressive republi.
cans of Wisconsin? How long will they santion,
even by silence, this kind of unholy business?
Who will be the first to speak? We're listening
for that sweet voice of reform that once rang
through this good state. Who will be the first
to sound it once more?"
Platteville News: Since the members Of the
present legislature have been in session and
they have had the use of the reference library
doc McCarty's bill factory, as it was common
ly called it has been decided that it is good
thing and that no effort will be made to abolish
it. Now isn't it strange that people can be SO
prejudged against meritorious institution?

A GOOD LETTER FROM A SOLID
BUSINESS MAN,

The biggest political question in Wis
consin was not put squarely to the
front in the last campaign; but rather
kept in the background. High priests
of special privilege, with their hearts
set not upon righteousness, but upon
water powers, went about through the
state and with railing accusations stir
red up the people over questions of ed
ucatio and taxation. Now they are pre-
pairing to take over to themselves and
their heirs forever most valuable heri-
tage which of right belongs to the peo
pie as a whole. But not all the large
nsers of water power stand for self
against the public welfare. The Demo
crat has received letter from one very
successful business man who takes his
citizenship seriously, and who evidently
believes that a government which is
good enough for men to lay down their
lives for is good enough TO be treated
fairly in matters of business and taxa
ton. Read this strong letter from the
president Of the John Strange Paper
Company:
MENAsHA, Wis, June 5, 1915.

THE FRONTIER.

The address of Dr. E. A. Ross at the
High School commencement exercises
last Thursday evening was uncommonly
good: it was very helpful. 1t was not
for entertainment: it was for thought.
For a time being the community at
tended school and took lesson in citi-
zenship. And this is very proper
thing to do The blessings of free
government are such common bless
ings, and so wrought into our every
day life, that we do not always appre-
ciate them as we should. 1t is meet
and right to stop occasionally and take
serious thought As to what American
democracy really is, and how it came
into being. 1t was not struck off at a
given time by the brain and hand OF
man 1t is the spirit of civil liberty
developed from colonial days right
down to the present time. The strong
est force in it's development was the
great western frontier, First with its
log cabins and later with it's sod cabins,
and all with their latch strings hanging
out. 1t is because of this vast and until
now boundless "west" of rich land,
and Of freedom. that the people Of the
United States of America have discov-
cred and brought into being the great
est federal system Of government ever
known unto men.
From the very first, the west always
stood out stout and strong for equal
rights and against special privileges.
In the colony of Virginia, when Jeffer
son proposed the wiping out Of the
laws of primogeniture and entail, lib
erty loving men from the frontier
counties rallied to his support and car
ried the proposition through. And thus
was taken the first real step towards
democracy in America.
The frontiersmen, too, with their
faith in the worth of the common man,
and in his capacity, gave us manhood
suffrage; and established the equality
of rich and poor alike before the law.
But we have no more west: the last
quarter section of tillable land in the
rainbelt has been taken up. The forces
Of nature may not hereafter strive with
us for civil liberty SO strongly as they
have in the past. But it is our duty as
liberty loving citizens to hold fast all
the freedom which our fathers have
won for us, all we use or know; and, in
the light of history, to work out bet
ter democracy.
Take thought of what is going ON in
state and nation, and stand for that
which is right. Be a true frontiers
man.
