for disarmament.
RESOLVED by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, That the President be, and

to the tall timber while yet there is
time.
If any be overbold, and remain in
their accustomed haunts, possibly some
other form of warning will be EN-
ployed, coupled with an urgent init
nation that it is time to scoot while
the scooting is good
If any are so foolish as to continue
to decline to take safety in flight, we
presume they will be reluctantly
pinched and politely requested to face
the music.
In any other country the arrests
would be made first and the blowing
done afterwards.
Goodbye, slackers! Go as far as
you can and forget to return.

slst upon wages sufficient to meet the
strain.
1t is just such conditions that keep
prices up, and viii prevent any appre-
ciabie decline as long as these condi-
tons exist.
Of all of the profteers who have
cursed thsi country the rent hog is
probably the worst.
When he is curbed it should not be
difficult to bring other prices down to
a reasonable basis.

POLITICAL
DENUNCIATION
SLXTY-FIVE
YEARS AGO

1t there are any who believe that>e
art Of political denunciation in Wis
consin is today superior to what it was
in earlier times, we commend to them
for perusal a manuscript report of an
Assembly Committee presented Febru-
airy 4, 1856, sixty-five years ago, and
which has reposed in the archives since
that date. The subject was the manage
ment of the school lands and the loan
ing of the school fund. Loud complaint
is made against the system of loan
ing followed, under the law, by the
School Land Commission.
"Under the present law, whoever
gets loan must either be favorite
with the powers that be- or he must
communicate with the august Board
of these political Rothschilds through
some powerful courtier. And thus
system Of diplomacy is established
that is no contemplate miniature of
the Boulevards or the Court of St.
James. Ministers and ambassadors
come here from remote counties to ne
gotiate loans, and the success of needy
citizens depends on the influence of the
representative they send to the council
Board of this huge monopoly. But can
this Board ever communicate with the
toiling mechanic, the quiet farmer, the
secluded laborer."
On the favoritism shown land specu-
! lators the report says: knowledge is
power says Lord Bacon and the books
of the Secretary's office flew open of
their own accord, as Heavens gates 'on
golden hinges turning when Ludington
and Blackwell approached those rec
ords, and there they saw the fertile
and well watered domain of the school
lands mapped before their eyes. They
gazed as the mighty Hannibal looked
down from the summit of the last Alp
upon the sunlight plains and olive
groves of Italy, in fancy already with
in his hand and soon reduced to gem
on the brow of his dusky paramour g..

of Julius Caesar may be record

and now the tenant of the soil, confined
at home by daily labor, and who could
not attend this great auction where
his hopes and heritage were sold, nor
compete with the confederacy between
state officers and hungry spectators
must chatter for his 40 acres with the
julius Caesar of the school lands"
| The committee which made this re-
port consisted of Joseph T. Mills of
boo. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Mills
Lancaster, chairman! John F. Potter
of East Troy and D. K Noyes of Bara-
wrote the report which may have led
to the great investigation of the School
Lands Commission conducted by a
Joint Special Committee of the two
houses that year and which resulted
in an exhaustive report. This was pub
lished, but Mills report has been bur
led in the files for two generations.

HOGS AMONGHOGS

The legal methods being taken by
city and state governments to curb the
rent hogs should, if successful, have
an important bearing upon the general
reduction of prices.
In the large cities probably great
majority of the laboring classes are
renters. They do not own their own
homes.
When greedy landlords, now COM
monty termed rent hogs, boost their
rents to impossible figures, it is but
natural that the occupants of these

Making Pork Products Better

Put pork through the food chopper
before placing it with beans for bak-

beans and requires only about half the

in cold water before frying it will pre-
vent the grease from running and help
retain the flavor better.
