will creep in, but we ask our readers
! to help us to be as accurate as pos
sible. By calling us, telling us of
visitors, giving their names directly
to us, they could greatly assist The
Pilot to avoid mistakes We are not
unmindful of the helpfulness of those
who are already responding to similar
requests.

The Central Wisconsin Traffic asso-
citation has lodged complaint with
the American Railway Express COM

and others who individually expert
ence difficulty in obtaining express or
who have had any trouble to speak
of, notify the association headquart-
ers, and that at the same time they
give detailed information. Few there
are who have not been aggravated at
present service. Sometimes we wonder
whether there is any advantage in
sending by express anymore.
The places at which Senator Hard
ing will speak are being selected with
great deliberation.'' We wonder if
these few choice talks will not be con-
fined to Wall street, body of corpo-

top of the ladder Republican cam
paigners. 1t may be more than a de-
sire to eliminate personalities and to
substitute party platform principles,
that has induced Senator Harding to
restrict his attention. The senator's
views will probably be much more &C
ceptable to-and will receive heartier
applause from this restricted bit of
patronage.
