WELL SPOKEN.

Elk Speaker Merlin Hull is thor
oughgoing Republican, strong party
man; but he is a man of Independent
thought and action, nevertheless. In
the present crisis, he puts country be-
fore party. In the last issue of his
paper, The Black River Falls Journal,
he says:
The politicians of the state are won
dering what means the large vote for
President Wilson in the recent pri-
maries. The surprising part Of is that
the president received larger vote in
many Republican counties than he did
when he was elected four years ago,
indicating that there was gain from
Republican sources. Wilson carried
Wisconsin four years ago, by about
80 900 majority, on account OF the split
in the Republican ranks. Some news
papers thought his tariff policy would
iniure him in the state, and others that
his foreign policy would mean his I'M
doing. and yet he comes to the front
stronger than ever We do not believe
that the recent vote was an indication
of how the state may go next fall, but
it is our candid opinion that the great
est reason for the apparent increase in
popularity was the refusal Of the Wis
cOnsin delegation in congress to "stand
by the president when he recently re-
quested them to do so. In Wisconsin
men are loyal to the government, more
than they are to party or to politicians,
and many of them resented the attitude
of their congressman and voted ac
cOrdingly.

OWN A HON e.
Here is good advice from The Bur
lington Standard Democrat

Here is good advice from The Bur-
lington Standard Democrat.
Get home. Own it. Bravely make start:
You will win. Be a man, Nothing 50 makes
for it as home-your home. And the man who
leaves as a legacy to his family an unencum-
bered home, has done far better than the aver
age American. Comparatively few men who do
not leave a home leave property of any kind to
their heirs It is said that in America fifty per
cent Of the population own but five per cent OF
the wealth. This would not be SO, if the desire
to own a home tomorrow were as universal and
gripping as is the desire to have a good time
tonight
Some men excuse themselves from investing
in a home, on the ground that soon they may
move to another locality, and they fear loss IN
selling This is not legitimate fear Wisdom
in choosing a home, and care in preserving it,
makes safe sale certain. In thus transferring
a home, the fund should be kept intact for the
purchase of home at the new location. For
the average thrifty American, an inherital home
stands for half lifes savings. This is worth
the serious thought of a man who wishes to
equip a son or a daughter for the financial
struggle of life.

EVAN A EVANS FOX JUDGE.

The Milwaukee journal reports from
Washington that the name of Evan A..
Evans of Baraboo was on Tuesday sent
10 the President. by Attorney General
T. W. Gregory. for appointment to the
federal circuit court of appeals for the
Seventh district.
MIR Evans is a lawyer of commanding
ability and man of sterling character
He is a strong supporter of Mr. Awkward
and Senator Husting, and thoroughly
appreciates their important work for
good government. Many Mineral Point
citizens we'll remember the powerful
plea he made here two years ago for
the nomination of Aylward and Husting
for governor and senior, respectively.
The Democrat would classify Evan
A. Evans as President Wilson classified
himself, that is to say as an animated
conservative.

One of the biggest 'jokers" ever put through
legislature was Chapter 209, of the Laws of 1915.
Under its provisions, grain in elevators, ware
houses malt houses and breweries is assessed
on the basis of 12K cents to 25 cents per thous-
and bushels, while Mr. Farmer has to pay for
the grain in his granary under the old direct tax
system. Thus farmer having 1000 bushels of
wheat on hand on May l, would pay, at the av-
erage rate of the state, Sl3.34. In many town
ships, the tax would be even higher and in some
perhaps double that figure. Elevators. etc, ,
pay OF their receipts for the year, and no mat
ter how many million bushels of wheat they
have On hand,on May1, it would only pay the %
centsper thousand bushels. Not many farmers
carry large amounts of grain over. but in the
aggregate for the state they have millions of
bushels, and in the aggregate of taxation they
will pay accordingly River Falls Jour
nal.
The Democrat has said all along that
the Tories in the last session of the leg
islature sat up nights to devise ways
and means to serve special interests. 1t

EARLY IN THE FIELD.

Assemblyman r. G. Cretney of Ridgeway
in Madison yesterday on business and was
caller at the statehOuse, where he greeted
friends. Mr.. Cretney said that he will be
candidate for the republican nomination for
assemblyman to succeed himself as representa-
tive in the lower house from the Iowa county
district. In the last legislature Mr.. Cretney
was pa, ticularly interested in legislation favor
ing the farmers Of the state and as Iowa county
is largely agricultural he expects to secure the
nomination upon the ground that he served his
constituency well during the session of l9l5.-
Madison Democrat April ~.
It is related of Thomas Benton that
near the close of his long and eventful
political life, after he had closed a
campaign speech, one Of his hearers,
himself an old man, stepped up and
congratulated the Senator and told him
that he had always been his second
choice. And, pray, who was your
first choice?" Mr.. Benton inquired; and
the reply came. why, anybody to beat

attitude towards Assemblyman Cretney.
He is a good contractor, good fellow,
and all that; but he has not made a
good representative. The Democrat
gave him due and timely warning not
to let the water power grabbers or the
foes of public education get him; but
our warning was of no avail. Early in
the session of the legislature he intro
duced joint resolution asking congress
to withdraw the Wisconsin river from
navigation, far reaching and harm
ful measure; and, as the roll call shows,
his votes were generally recorded
against the public interests. Too often,
he supported ill advised schemes which
other men laid awake nights to concoct.
The Democrats of Iowa county ought
to nominate good, strong man for
member of assembly; and he ought to
be elected.
