No Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has

but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently Although IL

E. P. RIPLEY, president of the Santa
Fe railway, sent the following letter
to the fifteen thousand employees of
that system in answer to the demands
of the four brotherhoods of trainmen:
''The men who pull the throttle or feed
the fire or ride the freight train or
WELD the conductors punch are no
more necessary to the operation of the
railroad than those who care for the
track or build the bridges or the en-
gines, or those who work the pen in
the various stations or Offices. All may
by their efforts contribute to the
amount to be divided, but no amount
of quarreling as to the terms of the
division will make that amount larger.
If everybody will work for greater
earnings he may be sure he will get his
he cannot possibly increase
that share by grabbing for it. A strike
will cost. the company a great deal of
money, perhaps necessitate the passing
of one or two dividends, working much
hardship on many innocent people-but
it will not.help the men and after the
loss of wages and standing other men
will take their places and the work go
on. Is the game worth the candle?
The officers of this company are charg-
ed with three-fold duty-to the pub
lie, to the owners, to the employees,
and they are doing the best they can
to deal squarely with all three. They
are hampered by various laws supposed
to be in the public interest; they have.
yielded (some times perhaps unwisely)
to the demands of organized labor.
They have done their best. They can
not consistently grant the present de-
mands and retain their self-respect or
the confidence of their stockholders.

ALL possibility Of relief for the great
pea canning industry of Wisconsin went
aglimmering under Justice Rosenber-
rvs court decision in the State VS.. The
LANCE Canning Co. of Eau Claire. For
: three years, under the 1913 Legislative
act, the Industrial Commission under
special orders has permitted the eighty
five pea canning companies of Wiscon-
sin to,employ women for more than ten
hours day. This was allowed because
the commission appreciated the pecu-
liar necessities of the business, the
Gamers having convinced the members
that ripe peas must be canned immedi-
ately or the crop becomes serious
money loss. Under Judge Rosenber-
rvs opinion the commission cannot
grant these special concessions this
year, and the pea Gamers will be
forced to work under a strict ten-hour
schedule until the law can be changed
by legislative enactment. On the whole
the decision is wholesome one in that
it holds that the legislature alone has
power to make laws and not the indus
trial commission, state board of health
or any other like commission who aim
to give their rules the force of legal
enactment

THE Home Rule and Taxpayers lea
que, which did such effective service in
the interest of the people of Wisconsin
in the campaign of 1914, is to continue
to act in the. same interest in 1916 upon
the Identical issues that then had it's
support The platform of the league
remains unchanged. The people are
over-taxed and over-governed. In the
management of their private business
they are constantly harassed by state
agents whose services are not needed,
whose activities are offensive and irri-
tating and who ought to be dismissed
A wrong continues to be wrong until
it is righted. Injustice does not be-
come any less intoerable with age. A
hoary-headed criminal has no just claim
to leniency. In many instances it takes
from one quarter to one-half of the net
income from property to pay the taxes.
Such condition ought not to exist.
Till these and many other similar
wrongs are righted the Taxpayers
league will continue it's work, and along
the same lines followed in the year
1914. We cannot enrich people by
taxing them.

Will Run Anyhow.

So Brother Charles w. Bryan, hav-
ing been beaten for governor in the
primaries by 10000 votes, will run for
governor, after all!
Brother Charles ran on the demo-
cratic ticket, and was badly trounced
by Keith. But he will repudiate the
primaries and run in the election on the
populist ticket, doubtless on the advice
of Brother William.
What is primary election law among
its friends! We have seen some not
able Illustrations of that principle in
Wisconsin, where the very first man to
violate the spirit of the primary law in
a state campaign was its inventor, Mr..
La Toilette, who had so often expa-
tiated on its beauties and its sanctity.
Of all the humbug political nostrums
ever sprung on the bequacked people
of this country, the primary election is
the worst and the foolishest, as exper-
fence has fully demonstrated.
The great needless expense it entails
on the taxpayers is perhaps the least
of its evils. The worst is, we should
say, that by doubling elections and
campaigns and thus swapping the peo-
pie with an almost continuous per-
Torrance of politics, it has so disgust
ed busy and responsible citizens with
politics that it is becoming next to i'm
possible to get them to attend to their
political duties at all, and we all know
what that means. Milwaukee Sentinel.
