HUGHES AND ROOSEVELT
BY JAN VAN VELTHus.
(special.c orrespondence)

When Bismarck accomplished for
Germany what two generations Of most
excellent, able and learned professors
and other academicians had failed to
accomplish, he gave to the German peo-
pie, incidentally, an object lesson of the
difference between craftsmanship and
what in this country we are in the habit
of calling political science. The Ger
mans needed that lesson most woefully.
Whether over in the old country they
have mastered it, may be a question. 1t
appears, however, that a good many
German-Americans still stand in sore
need of having it taught to them.
Political science has for its object the
investigation Of the sociological laws,
according TO which human beings are in
the habit of managing their govern
mental affairs. Statesmanship-or poll
tics" if you prefer-purposes to bring
about some particular measure or group
of measures by the government, such as,
for instance, the defeat OF one candidate
for the presidency or the election of
another. That distinction is probably
plain enough when it is stated thus the
oretically, but a lot Of German-Amefi-
can voters seem to be unable to apply
it in practice.
When ] wish to establish the truth Of
a certain proposition in political science,
let us say this, that American citizens of
German tradition are more patriotic than
those who desire to "~re-unite the Anglo
Saxon race, | shall have to prove that
case logically, and then refuse absolutely
to agree with anybody who disagrees
Herewith. When, however, | wish to
defeat a candidate whose policy | con-
slider disgraceful and pernicious to the
best interests of my country, it is 9aitc
immateriai what the motives of those
are who wish to help me in gaining that
object. The only important thing is that
they are willing to help me in defeating
that candidate. Whether they agree
with me on any kind of proposition ex-
cept that the Objectionable candidate
should be defeated, is utterly immaterial.
1t is said that there are voters who
hesitate to come out for Hughes because
Of the company he keeps. Because
Roosevelt and Root and Lodge are for
Hughes, these extraordinary patriots are
willing to take the chances of the re-
elecGon of this man Wilson, whose adj
ministration, they admit, has been the
greatest calamity this country has suf-
fered since the Civil War.
No doubt, a patriotic American must
condemn the knownothing tendencies of
the gentlemen we have mentioned. If,
however, those men, in addition to being
knownothings, also wish to defeat Viii
son, what business of ours is it why they
wish to do SC.
By voting for Hughes, no American
citizen declares anything except that he
desires Mr.. Hughes to be the next Presi-
dent. By refraining to vote for Hughes,
he declares that he would rather see that
arch-knownothing, Woodrow Wilson,
reelected than to accept the help of
Mr.. Roosevelt in accomplishing what
every true American desires to be ac-
complished.
Look at it from a different angle.
Suppose a voter should say: | shall not
vote for Hughes because he also must

First United States Treasurer.

Alexander Hamilton was the first
secretary Of the treasury (17S9-95).
Michael Hillegas was the first United
States treasurer. Hillegas was ap-
pointed to the Office July 20, IT'S,
when he and George Clymer we're cho-
sen together in the formation of what
was the germ of the treasury depart
ment. Hillegas served alone through
practically his entire tern, however,
as Clymer soon resigned to take seat
as delegate to congress. Hillegas
term expired September II, 1859, and
he was succeeded by Samuel Meredith.
Both men were from Pennsylvania.
The treasury department was formally
organized by act of September 2, 1889.
but, strictly speaking, this was merely
a reorganization, for the department
under various names had been In exis-
tence since ITS.

FARMS BRING HIGH PRICE
$4,000 Largest Ever Written
on Records of Iowa County.

odgeville.-Two real estate deals
of exceptional size were closed in the
sale of two farms in this county. One
is for cash consideration of $73,0 0
and is said to be the largest single
cash transaction ever written on the
records of Iowa county. The other is
also cash transaction, the consider
alton being $4,000, and this also is
among the largest deals in real estate
ever made in the county.
The $4,000 deal is the purchase
by John M. Reese and Patrick Smith
of the farm formerly owned by James
and Patrick Smith. The farm COM
prises nearly section in the town of
Ridgeway that was owned for many
years by the Smith brothers. The
soil is said to be rich, tillable farm
land. The buildings are unusually
fine, and the house has a beautiful To-
cation on a hill, with surroundings
that add much to its value.
The $4,000 transaction is the pur-
chase by the Smith brothers, sons of
James Smith, of the Llewellyn Jones
farm in the town of Brigham.

BATHS FOR LuMBERJACKS
Steam and Electricity Take Place
of Stove and Oil Lamp-"Jacks"
Kick at First.

Rhinelander. - Lun,beriac who
for a time threatened to strike when
orders were issued at the camp of the
Park Falls Lumber company, that all
employees must take steam bath in
the newly created steamroom, at least
once a week, have acclimated them
selves to the new condition.
A short time ago the company in
stalled electric wires in the lumber
camp train and the lumberjacks
kicked. They found that they were
no longer able to light their pipes, as
they dropped into their hunks, from
flames of an oil lamp.
Next the company installed steam
heat and the lumberjacks objected to
this. 1t eliminated the old stove they
had been accustomed to collect
around and spit against.
AS a climax the company created a
steamroom and ordered all camp
hands to visit it once a week. The
"jacks" protested vigorously and for
time threatened to strike. The in
dustrial commission advised the men
to try It awhile and they consented.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or Ii Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-knoNIn
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full oe sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that a change to Postum can bring.
they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit Of others.
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er, had been troubled with her heart
for number Of years and complained
of that 'weak-all-over' feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago / was making
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the mer-
chants Vt the place. / noticed a some
what unusual flavor of the coffee
and asked him concerning 1t. He re-
piled that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with 1t that I
bought package to carry home with
me. and had wife prepare some for
the next meal. The whole family
liked it so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition, but we
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach; that the headaches
were not so frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, especially my mother, as she
was victim Of long standing" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek

Postum comes In two forms:
Postum cereal-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack

Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in q cup of hot wa

a delicious beverage instantly. zoe

Both kinds are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.

WHERE LITTLE MEN WIN OUT
AS Rule They Have Much More AS
surance Than Their Fellows
Who Are Big.

AS rule, big men are shy and lack
ing in assurance. A daughter of the
gods. divinely tall, fills them with
something like terror. The woman
who appeals to them is usually some
sparkling, vivacious, fairylike creature
with kittenish ways and roguish
glances. The little man, on the con-
trary. is seldom burdened with humil-
ity. He is a being of great aspira-
lions and stupendous ambitions; he
believes in himself, which is the rea-
son why he generally can get the
woman of his choice to smile upon
him. The dainty, wee, Titianlike Tom-
an possess no charm for him.
"A nice little thing" he says of such
a one. Fall in love with her? Oh,
no! She isn't grown up enough to
inspire the tender passion
He likes a woman to be one or two
inches his superior and thoroughly ma
ture. He breads any trace of the
bread-and-butter schoolgirl. His ideal
resembles the strong. heroic women
Shakespeare has pictured, full-blooded
and vital, full Of character and spirit,
with a fair spice of temper.
The big man breads a woman's
tongue. He is alarmed at the light
ming of her eyes when they flash in
anger; but the little man is amused,
and rather likes it. That's one of the
subtle secrets of the little mans mas
terry. Tall and willowy, with the prom

man. He admires a regal carriage. a
touch of hauteur and, above all, style.

ESTIMATING AGE OF EARTH
Biologists Have Differed Greatly as
TO the Time II Has Been In
Existence.

AS long ago as 1860 John Phillips.
the geologist, estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the stra-
titled rocks lay between 3s.000.00o and
s6.00o.o00 years. This was probably
the only estimate prior to Kelvin's
epoch-making paper OF 1852 Since
that time many estimates have been
made. varying all the way from II, 0Oo,-
600 years to 100000. 900 years. Kelvin
was the first to discuss the age of the
earth considered as a cooling body
In 1898 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion OF tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that a.
100000 represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin in
1897, and then he placed the limits as
5000. 600 and z0.000.0 900 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age Of the earth from q purely astro-
nomical point Of view. From bis theory
Of the earth-moon system he derived
an estimate Of more than $1,000, 900

CHAPTER III.

Wolf Larsen ceased swearing as sud-
denly as he had begun. He relighted
his cigar and glanced around. His
eyes CHANGED upon the cook.
We'll. Cooky?" he began, with a
suaveness that was cold and of the
temper of steel.
yes, sir" the cook eagerly inter-
polated, with appeasing and apollo
getic servility.
Don't you think you've stretched
that neck of yours just about enough :?
It's unhealthy, you know. The mates
gone, so l can't afford to lose you too
You must be very. very careful of
your health, Cooky. Understand"
His last word, in striking contrast
with the smoothness of his previous
utterance, snapped like the flash of a
whip. The cook quailed before it.
Eyes, sir" was the meek reply, as
the offending head disappeared into
the galley.
At this sweeping rebuke, which the
cook had only pointed, the rest of the
crew became uninterested and fell
to work at one task or another. A
number of men, however. who were
lounging about a companionway be-
tween the galley and the hatch, and
who did not seem to be sailors, contin-
ued talking in low tones with one an
other. These, l afterward learned,
were the hunters, the men who shot

"JohansenI" Wolf Larsen called out.
A sailor stepped forward obediently.
Get your palm and needle and sew
the beggar up. You'll find some old
canvas in the sail locker. Make it do"
ANY of you fellows got Bible or
prayerbook?" was the captains next
demand. this time of the hunters loung-
ing about the companionway.
