THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

We favor Immediate repeal Of the federal reserve ct and the sub
stitution Of a central bank controlled by Standard Oil.
We demand prompt removal of the income tax from the statute
books and the restoration of a system OF taxation which relieves the
rich OF, and places upon the poor, the heavy cost OF government.
We insist upon early elimination of the federal trade commission,
so that the great trusts may resume the practice OF unfair and cut-throat
competition without let or hindrance.
We hereby declare for the enactment OF a drastic law prohibiting
any public mention of the great me assures for thu development OF agrr-
culture, Of commerce and industry put in force under Democratic ad-
miniHration, because discussion of these matters tends to make votes
for Woodrow Wilson.
We point with sorrow and sinking hearts to the unprecedented pros
penty OF the United States and w hereby soemn1y wear that o n
nickel OF it is attributable to Democratic administration, but that III
good fortune is entirely and wholly due TO the eclipse OF the moon last

We urge immediate annexation of the Hearst ranch.
We hereby assert that the Wilson administration has faHei to as

Germany over the submarine issue.
We hereby assure the German vote that the Wilson administration
has been entirely too aggressive and persistent in its dealings with the
kaiser.
We love ourselves more than IL neighbors land propose to do unto

AN EXTORTIONATE COAL MONOPOLY.

True to their established policy, the railroad anthracite companies,
having agreed within the last few days to rase the Pennsylvania min
ers wages, announce another big advance in the price of coal. They
tered into negotiations with the miners.
The letter OF the auorney-general to the federal trade commission
suggesting ia m investigation is a history of eNtortion as practced by the
coal roads. Three times since January, 1900, the wages OF the mine
workers in the anthracite region we're advanced, and OF each occaslo
the companies raised the price of coal 81 las to recover from the cons
sumner far more than the increase due to the advance in wages.
In October, 1900, the advance in the miners wages amounted IS
Clio cents a ton. and the companies added % 21O cents to the price of
coal. After the great anthracite coal strike of 1902, the increase in the
miners wages wa equivalent to about 13 cents a ton, and the coal
companie sadded almost 50 cents a ton to the price of coal. In 1912
again, higher wages caused al increase of only 9 cents a ton m the
cost of production, and the prices of coal we're raised Is cents a ton.
All told, in the last sixteen years, excluding the present advance, in
creases in wages have been about 81 cents a ton, while the coal rail
road companies have raised the price of anthracite % cents a ton.
operators have exacted two dollars more for themselves ffm the coal
using public.
The performance is now to be repeated for a fourth time. The
wonder is that the coal combination should make any pretense of re-
sishng the miners demands for none pay when they can be used SOL
easily a n excuse for gouging the public.

"ONCE OVERS"

Are YOU teaching your children the proper care of their teeth?
Have you instructed them o how to use a toothbrush?
Are you impressing the fact that il. is more important to brush in
side than outside where it shows?
Do you have the chidren's teeth inspected every few months by
a dentist?
Not only will this say you money in the long rum but it will save
your child from long hours of toothache and ven perhaps from sick
ness.
Every tooth is needed for the mastication of food and for the
grinding of hard bread and tough meat rather than soft.
DR.. Wiley says much sickness among chldren-and grown people
tools directly de - decayed teeth and the inability to chew food
in the way it should be chewed before it enterst the stomach.

WHY CONTROL IS NECESSARY.

That greed grows rampant and should at all times be put under
absolute CONTROL preferably by strong government, va ever lore
thoroughly illustrated than IN the following instance:
One of the warning nations in Europe has just purchased 10000
tons of barley in California. This will be shipped from San Francisco
to Galveston, Texas, by rail, the Southern Pacific receiving So per ton
for its transportation. From Galveston to the European port of delivery,
name not given, the charge is $2 per ton, making the total cost $40 per
ton, OF $l2OOOO fol the whole. The railroad charge is no above that
OF normal THINGS, but the steamship rate is about five times greater than
in periods of peace. The ocean vessels can charge this exorbhant ate
because they have no opposition from the other side and o n this side
of the Atlantic they are all playing iii together, and it is they, aided by
the Republican party, who are endeavorng to defeat the ship purchase
bill nov before congress.
lit is this crowd, the ship-owning trust, aided by other big interests,
that expect either governmental assistance or non-interference with
their plans, that will make such a vigorous fight this fall against the re-
turn OF President Wilson to the White House and the election of a
Democratic congress. To accomplish this they have already put the
dSbursed with a prodibaliy that will make the campaign OF 1896 look
like the tag end of a vision.

THINGS TO BE FEARED.

There are two fears that need never enter the mind of an American
citizen as long as Woodrow Wilson is president. One is that the federal
government will go off hah-cocked; and the other is that the national
administration is being controlled by a coterie Of nice gentlemen with
exact ideas as to what is best for them. Those fears best man of us

A WORD WITH WOMEN
Valuable Advice for Viroqua
Readers

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of backache,
pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disorders,
hopeless of relief because she doesn't
know what is the matter.
1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the sex" Often when the kidneys
get congested and inflamed, such aches
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble if
the secretions are dark colored, con-
tain sediment; the passages are too
frequent or scanty Then help the
weakened kidneys. Don't expe &C them
to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands Of women. They
are endorsed at home-Read this Viro-
qua woman's convincing statement.
Mrs. William Small, Vircqua, says:
81 mad hard, dull backaehes and rheu-
matte pains. The action of my kidneys
wasn't right and the complaint gave
me much annoyance. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills and got fine relief. / am
certainly pleased to recommend them. ."

sacrificing slaughter they are now en-

Demoralizing and disappointing it is

of danger. Congress is in session and
it is bis prerogative and his duty to
communicate his fears to that body.

one Really Funny Thing.

There is only one really funny
thing in life" an artist philosopher
confided. THAT is clothes. Naked
savages seldom laugh, and when they
do laugh it is not the laugh OF humor.
II is the laugh OF disclaimer triumph
Fact is, they haven't anything to laugh
at. Nothing is out Of tune. nothing Is
out of style. They can't masquerade
they can't pretend. They can't be
funny until they get hold Of some
civilized persons necktie and old hat
After that, they can become as con-
ventional and ridiculous as the most
civilized"
