WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continual From Page T..

There has been some advance in the
price of old Lancaster county tobacco,
but the advance, the packers say, is
not enough to cause anxiety to the
manufacturers. How much further
advance there will be, if any, they can
not say. The local men who have any
of the new crop are busy casing it, and
the same is to be said of the big con-
Germs which hold most of the crop.
The better part of it has already been
delivered, and that which has not been
brought to the warehouse will soon be
there.
The growers are already talking over
their prospective paintings and debat-
ing measures for getting better prices
this year. subjects that always interest
them and attract their attention about
this time of the year. They are giving
considerable attention to the study of
improved methods of culture, as is evil
denced by the reports of agricultural
meetings. If they do not try to better
their tobacco it will not be for lack of
information on the subject.

WHILE the urgent need of more rev.
-enue undoubtedly is the main reason
for the action of the administration in
deciding to continue duty on sugar, it
is no secret in well-informed political
circles that the president and his ad-
visors have been greatly disappointed
by the failure. of. free sugar" to prove
a popular drawing card, and by the
fact that sugar prices have been higher
instead of lower since the tariff was
reduced by the Underwood law. 1t is
reported that the representatives of
the refners are planning last desper-
ate fight in the senate to prevent the
repeal of the free sugar clause or else,
failing that, to put a consumers tax
of cent a pound on all sugar grown
in the United States, which would &C.
complish the object of the refiners just
as well by driving American sugar pro-
ducers out of business. 1t is not be-
lieved possible, however, that the small
coterie of democratic senators who will
support this plan can prevail against
the strength of the administration and
the democratic majority in the house.

Keeping His Courage Up.

In spite of the rather pathetic fiasco
at that Harmony" dinner, Mr.. LaFol-
lette is able to say:
81 am confident we shall nominate
and elect governor, state ticket, a
state legislature that will put Wiscon-
sin in the vanguard of progress again. "
In short, the senator is able to per-
sCade himself that the taxpayers of the
state have so far forgotten their griev-
ances and their ''barbaric yawp" against
the taxpayers IN 1914 that they are
about ready to submit their fleece to
the progressive" shears again.
We have a higher opinion of their
common sense than he has. His man
Bossard will have about as good a
chance for election in 1916 as his man
Blaine had in 1914.
The people are "wise to- the ''pro-
gressive" timberling, senator. They
were ''bunked" by it. They know it.
They had the cost of state government
run up on them largely for the benefit
of untaxed gentlemen with no visible
means of support but politics) from
81, 600, 600 to $18, 900, 900, while the pop
ulation increased but 13 per cent.
They are sore yet. 1t makes them
still sorer when they think that while
Gov. Philip materially reduced ex-
penses, he would have reduced them
still more but for the obstruction of the
LaFollette cleft overs" in the senate
and the progressive" state job trust
generally.
This republican state will need at
least one dependable republican vote in
the national senate when the tariff
comes up again. The party will need
it, too, and that consideration alone
should be enough to defeat this repub-
lican for office and democrat in Office

voting for the democratic tariff. The

THE town boards of each town are
directed by law to erect and keep in
good repair suitable and appropriate
guideboards on and along all main trav-
eled public highways where the same
intersect with other main public high
ways. The law even states that they
shall be attached to posts and be p
feet from the ground, the letters to be
in black not less than % inches high.
If these guideboards are lacking any
where where they should be, any resi-
dent of the county can make written
complaint to the district attorney,
whose duty it is to forthwith notify the
town board in default to comply with
the law, or have court proceedings in
stituted against it to enforce compli-
ance. How many of the country town
ships are complying with this law?

but the average father prefers peace
to the indiscriminate shedding of blood.
When one thinks of the countless thou
sands of upright fathers with carefully

of a mere chambermaid, when they

Although fathers usually pay for the
house and furniture with their own

USEFUL EDUCATION.

Up-to-date educators are not letting
the opportunity pass to show the abso
Lutte necessity of substituting a ma
tional system of education with the
ultimate aim to make every student
able to do something well at the END
of the prescribed course for the pres
ent hit or miss, take it or leave it },
system. One of them, writing in the
Philadelphia Record, says: cone les
son of the war that has made an in
delible impression upon English observ
ers is the hopeless disadvantage of the
English people as compared with Ger
mans because of their impractical ed
ucation. The English have been
trained to know Greek Latin and poll
ticai science and theology. The Ger
mans, on the contrary, are educated
utilitarians. They have been trained
to turn waste into wealth. Their
chemists have not only English chem
lists, but all other outsiders at dis
advantage in being. able to get out of
raw material unheard-of substances in
finished products, which have given
them conceded commercial mastery in
many particulars. The blockade OF
German ports has created a famine in
the markets for certain dyes, explo
sives, fertilizers, and fabrications OF
metals and fbres which they alone
knew how to produce at salable prices
They have brought the art of making
war to most horrible and cruel perfec
ton. We, in the United States, hav,
to a great extent followed on afte
the English pattern in our educationa
methods. The sooner we shall prof
by the German example and insis
upon thorough technical training il
our common schools, state colleges an
universities the better for the countr
at large. We are always engaged i
industrial warfare, but whether w
fight for aggression or defence, for COZ
1 quest or commerce, the best prepared
ness lies in a general knowledge G

MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES
Make Life Hard to Bear For Many
Brattleboro Women.

Too many women mistake their pains
and aches for troubles peculiar to the
sex. More often disordered Kidneys are
causing the aching back, dizzy spells,
headaches and irregular urination.
Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if
neglected. Use a time tried kidney
remedy-Doan' s Kidney Pills. Hosts
of people testify to their merit. Read
a Brattleboro case:
Mrs. NJ E. Moore, 10 Elm ST., Brat
tleboro, says: "For several months
suffered from dull backaches and dizzy
spells. A neighbor had used Doan ;.
Kidney Pills with such good results
that I got box at the Brattleborc
Drug Co. They relieved me of back
ache and removed the other symptom
of kidney trouble. l have felt like

RUNIORS OF PEACE.

A rumor of peace has blown across
the sea and over the Gulf of Mexico
to Galveston, Texas. Shipping char
tiers are countermanded because ''qeacel
is in sight Why does Galveston,
Texas, hear this incredibly glad news
before London, Paris, New York or
Boston? Because-so we are told-the
allies have been importing lumber for
war uses via Galveston, and the agents
in the case do not want the lumber if
there is to be immediate peace 1t all
looks natural enough, but there is no
basis for assuming that lumber buyers
have been tipped off y in any such
way Galveston refuses to disclose the
names OF the parties to the alleged
countermanding orders. In this part
of the world, highly important pur-
chases, based on an indefinite continu-
ance of the war, are proceeding with
out interruption. The opinion of j. p
Morgan, as it is announced on the au
thority of the New York Times, is
more to the point Mr. Morgan has
just returned from Europe, where he
has been in close touch with those whC
are supplying the sinews of war:
He said it was true that the enc
of the struggle was in sight, if on,
used that expression to mean that tn
turning point had been set by the at
tack ON Verdun, but he believed tina
Germany would be long time on tn
defensive before she would agree t
terms that the allies We're bound TO oh
tain. Mr.. Morgan came back frml
convinced that Great Britain woul
never enter negotiations looking to
settlement until she was in a positio
! to assure the world that the menace o
: another great war had been entirel
; removed. -
This represents common sense, q
well as the best founded knowledge q
. the subject. There is more real ell
couragement in it than there is in til
Galveston rumor.

NO PLACE FOR PAIN

There is no place for rheumatic
pains and misery, if you will only fol-
low the advice of an old, experienced
physician. DR.. Levi Minard prescribed
and used Minard's liniment for sore
ness, stiffness, swelling and all rheu-
matte pains.
There is no other remedy that can
take its place. It has never failed and
is perfectly harmless, economical.
agreeable and clean to use, as it is
absolutely stainless.

any druggist, IS wonderfully soothing.
penetrating and effective in all cases
of strains, lunlbago, sore joints, stiff
