wisconsin raised $37,00O,0 100000
for the prosecution of the war, and
expended $27 000, 100000 of it (the
remainder being lent to the Allies)
with such scrupulous honesty that
after devoting $2,000,000 of public
money to futile INVESTIGATION par
tisan snooping committees were un-
able to unearth single instance of
corruption or graft. Oh, yes, there
was waste. When lives were worth
more than money, when victory was
dependent on haste, when science
moved faster than the almost super
human speed of production, and
forced new inventions into obsolesc-
ence, when speed was at an incred-
ible premium. There was waste. But
il i'll becomes the party which
conducted the Spanish American war

waste there would have been no VIC
tory. wisconsin is human, not di-
vine.

wisconsin undermined German
morale. The Wilson notes, both prior
to and following our entrance into
the war-the butts of unthinkine
partisan scorn and rerision at home
-sapped the foundations of German
militarism, until finally the whole

Our Republican contemporaries
may criticise this outline sketch of
wisconsin as more assertion. They
can pick flaws in the President char
acter which show us to be blind and
idolatrous heroworshipers. The fowl
on yonder fenccrail looks toward a
magnificent landscape. A broad green
valley, rich with the bounty of Ma
ture, stretches away before him.
Through it purls crystal stream. A
lofty mountain, clad with stately
pines, rears its head in the distance,
bathed in golden sunlight. Does the
fowl see these glOries og Gods hand
iwork. No; his perspective does not
embrace them. His attention is con-
centrated upon n dung-hill
Those who want to save America
from wisconsin will tell us that the
President is cold, reserved, self-opin-
donated, egotistical, autocratic. With
out inquiring into the truth of these
indictments, let US analyZe Wilson
ism and see what it has done to the
country. Its opponents do not dwell
upon concrete facts. 1t may help the
seeker after truth-if such there be
in the partisan mob which has con.
stituted itself into lynching party
to catalogue few.
1t was wisconsin that promised
justly to revise a tariff enacted fol
the enrichment of intrenched special
interest-a tariff that Republican
President denounced as iniquitous
even while he was signing it-and
did it.
wisconsin destroyed discrcdt
able banking system under which
panics were artifcially created fol
the benefit of special interest, ant
replaced it with system which Wal
street cannot manipulate for the pur
pose of undermining public credit.
1t was wisconsin that devised ant
submitted to the States n system Of
taxation which distributed the burder
not IN proportion to the wealth ant
influence to dodge it, but in proper
toin. to ability to bear it, as gauget
by income, the only practical meas
ure of just taxable capacity.

Republican organs and orators are
telling us that the country has had
enough of wisconsin. The duty of
the hour is to save the American
people from continuance of Will
soinsm. TO that end n Republican
President must be elected. Only thus
can radical change of policy be
effected. Down with Wisconsin,
The cry has n plausible sound. But
the term is pregnant with underlined
meaning. Those who seek to rally the
country against wisconsin do not
tell the country what wisconsin is.
They impart to the word, by the con-
text of their partisan appeals, a
vague and terrifying significance.
Upon the ears of the unthinking it
falls with an import of menace to
the national welfare and assault up
on the sacred rights of the individual
citizen.

What is wisconsin? What evils
has it brought upon the nation? In
what calamaties does it threaten to
engulf us? The Republican proposal
to destroy it is negation which can
not be clearly understood until we
receive positive perception. Let us
examine wisconsin to determine ex-
actly what it is from which we are
to be saved.
"The Record" Might declare with
unalloyed truth that wisconsin is the
introduction of morality, in it's broad
est sense, into government. Wilson
ism is the practical and triumphant
application of progressive principles
to politics. wisconsin is the con-
structive promotion of the just in
tercsts of the many at the expense
of the unjust privileges of the few.
wisconsin is unparalleled devotion
to the welfare of humanity at home
and abroad. wisconsin is the faith
full performance of solemn pledges
to an aspiring people. wisconsin is
the ungrudging sacrifice of health,
happiness, popularity, and it may
well be life itself, to the service of
thankless and unappreciative mil
lions. In its broaded application to
international affairs, wisconsin is an
idealistic effort to Christianizc Christ
ianity.
Down with wisconsin and its pro-
ponent.

That this rarely occurs is doubtless
the result Of unnatural concentrated
food and neglect to attend properly
to the call of nature for evacuation
of the bowels.
During the night, the residues of
the dinner and supper gradually work
their way farther down and in the
morning the intestinal activity nat
urally set up by the movements of the
body on risinf, should result in the
discharge before breakfast of the res
idues of the dinner of the day be-
fore. In the same way the vigorous
peristaltic actifity awakened Ply the
taking of breakfast should result in
the dismissal of the residues of the
supper of the previous day.
In other words, the peristaltic wave
set up by each meal should cause the
advancement Of the preceding meal
on, and, shortly afterward, the dis
from the small, intestine into the col
charge Of the unused remnants of the
next to the last meal.
This is the normal intestinal rhythm
and the nearer it can be approximated
in actual experience, the better.
The writer is convinced that the
highest degree of health, comfort,
efficiency and longevity, can only be
obtained by maintaining such a de-
gree of intestinal activity as will
prevent the accumulation in the col
on Of putrefying materials.
For these putrefying materials con-
taminate the blood, and, by unneces-
sary and excessive work, wear out
the liver, kidneys and other poison
destroying organs; damage the blood
vessels by constant contact with a
poison-laden blood current; and in
toxicate and irritate, and ultimately
render prematurely infirm and senile
the body cells.
