Frederick Aver, of Union League.
Makes $1,000 Contribution.
Frederick Aver, member of the
Union League club-the center of Re-
publicanism In New York city, if not in
the country-has sent check to Chair
man Vance Mccormick. Of the Demo
cratic National Committee, for 81 1000,
his contribution to the campaign fund
for the reelection of President Wilson.
With his check he sent letter, in
which he said:
Convinced as | am that Mr. Wilson
is one of the greatest Presidents we
ever have had, his hatred of war and
love of his country perching like jew
els in his crown of Office, | send you
herewith inclosed my check for 81 200,
to be added to the National campaign
fund for his election"
Mr.. Aver is a lawyer and financier,
a lifelong Republican and a stock
holder and one of the few directors
of the New York Tribune Association,
publisher of the New York Tribune,
which is supporting Hughes.

so doing it made certain that Mil
waukee taxpayers must pay $1,000

elevation of it's tracks in that city.
WAS tie argument advanced by
other railr. IDS that thus far the St.
Paul has profited greater than the
other roads from the work of your
administration and thus should now
bear the largest part Of the advance

the facts as to the condition of the
State Treasury will be kept from the
people and thus prevent an avalanche
of public indignation from driving out
of power an administration which has
so close and intimate connection with
railroad heads and which has given
so freely and generously everything
the railroads asked or wanted in spe-
cial legislation?

securing advance tax payments, is
contrary to the spirit of the constitu-
ton and should be discontinued
Ponder over this emphatic state
ment. Here is the governor, year
ago, telling the legislature that to
borrow money by securing advance
| tax payments was contrary to the
spirit of the constitution and should
be discontinued.
"Yet when he is in a serious pre-
dicament, facing an empty general
fund, he does exactly what he de-
nounced year ago; he violates the
spirit of the constitution by getting
the railroads to make advance tax
payments of $4,000 in one week 8
time so on October /, his business adj
ministration could meet its pay roll
Gould there be any more hypoc-
risy than this; could there be more
inconsistency and shame in state ad-
ministration than to officially record
denunciation of practices that VIC
late the spirit of our constitution
and then for the same administration
the same governor, to carry out eX-
actly the same practices himself, when
humiliation and defeat at the hands
of the people of Wisconsin?
''In other words, all the arguments
advanced by Governor Philip that
his administration had reduced taxes
for all the people, and that it had
conducted state affairs economically,
are now exploded and exposed by the
one sensational and unanswerable de-
velopment that had it not been for
the three great railroads furnishing
great sum of money the last week
in September to protect his admin
istration, it would be today in self
confessed bankruptcy before the vot-
ers of Wisconsin, disgraced and hui
inflated.
eff some of the state employees, on
October LIST, had failed to get their
regular monthly salary, Governor
Philip would have fallen from his
pOOCoCoA VI OSOAOhJ anu ChlSiOhCy III
state government; he would be a
broken idol, shattered and disgraced
and this one simple fact would leave
his pledges and promises exposed as
shams and fakes.
Governor Philip attempts to
dodge responsibility for the long rec
ord of tax reductions, tax favors and
special legislation that have shown
his administration has given SO free
ly and generously, unmindful of the
rights or interests of the people of
Wisconsin, to the railroad corpora
lions and other big interests, by evad-
ing the real issues and humorously
declaring that am digging into the
| legislative waste basket for material
If Governor Philip is so adverse to
having the legislative record of his
administration discussed, then let
him explain something that is not
taken out of the legislative waste
basket, but which concerns his own
Office and that of his own administra-
tion in the record of the past few
weeks"

Mr.. Williams brought out the fact
that up to October II, total of ST.
018,000 advance taxes had been paid
into the state treasury, which are not
due until November /. OF this
amount, the st. Paul Railroad Co. has
paid in total of $500, 900; the North
western, 100000; the 500, $685.
600; and the Northern Pacific, $23-

it that the st. Paul Railroad Co. paid
in the bulk of these taxes?
do you suppose it was because the

commission to charge what cost it

A ei+ of Sicily,

There is no Italian town more pic turesque than the Sicilian capital, Pa lermo,'' writes a traveller. Sailing ships of all rigs, their hulls painted all the colors of the rainbow, nose up against the quay, where mule carts, whose drivers are shouting at the top of their voices, wait to take away the nerchandise. The narrow streets where the custom house officers examine the goods brought ashore is a place of ter rife noise. When a driver, two clerks and two custom house officers are dis cussing the contents of a bale or cask 1t seems as though murder must be committed within the next few sec ondse. But somebody signs something, the cart moves on, and everybody laughs.''

A Story Of oId Ironsidss.

One of the most famous of the Con- stitution's exploits was during the war Broke's squadron, among which she had accidentally fallen. The sea was almost dead calm, so Captain Hull had to resort to towing. All her boats were lowered, with long lines attached, and in addition Hull had ropes spliced together to make a. line half a mile long, to which hefattached kedge an chor. This was carried in a boat half "a mile ahead and dropped, when the crew hauled the ship rapidly forward The commodore of the English squad ron soon adopted the same tactics, and if it had not been for breeze spring ing up the Constitution would have been captured.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1910-Jin- Cofey landed in Boston. The Roscon1mon giant wasI then 1 g years old. but a big broth of a boy for his age. At the time of his first set ting foot on American soil Coffey had never seen a boxing match, although he had been a celebrated wrestler in the Emerald Isle. Jim proceeded to Rhode Island soon after landing in Boston, and worked in b1eachery at Pawtucket and as a teamster in Prov idence. Early in 1911 he went to New York and got job as a motorman. A friendly cop introduced Coffey to the boxing game, and he took to it like a duck to water, He began his career by fracturing the ribs of his friend, the policeman. After several months of boxing in g. gym, Coffey was matched to fight Nick Muller in a regular ring in January. 1912. So1- dier Kearns knocked Jim down and out in his next important bout, but the Roscommon warrior preserved, and he was making a noise like a coming champion until he took on Frank Moran and was twice hattened by the Pittsburger. There hasn't been an Irish-born heavyweight champion since Paddy Ryan, who lost his title to Sullivan in 1882s and Coffey's ad- rnirersI still entertain hopes that he will succeeded where Tom sharkey, Peter AIaher and other good men have failed.
