PULLING WOOL OVER THEIR EYES.

Pulling wool over the eyes of the voters OF
Wisconsin appears to be the method which has
been selected by the triumvirate OF Blaine,
Ekern and Little Bob to get the Republican
nomination for United States Senator for the
last named member of the trio and pave the
way for the other two to step into office by
maintaining the political machine which for
years has held Wisconsin in its grasp, much
to the detriment Of the state and to the bene-
fit of ethe self-seeking politicians who were In
charge H~f2 fa'
Senator Lenroot on his recent visit to Keno
sha exploded one of their pet methods OF pull
ing the wool" when he showed how inconsist-
ent the .triumvirate is in their attitude towards
the question of income taxes The trio is now
going through the state and with great gusto
and acclaim of their desire to help the work
ing man, is beratng the present national ad-
ninistration for failure to raise the federal In
come tax exemption now set at $500. mo one
should have to pay an income tax unless he
makes q$3000," says one of these three muske-
teers" who are one for all and all for one, as
he makes bid for the vote of any who has an
income under that amount. And then he rants
and raves how Little Bob" would stand for
a minimum exemption of $4,000 for federal
income tax.
But, as Senator Lenroot pointed out here
that same man says nothing about the state
income tax exemption. The element which the
triumvirate represents has been in absolute
power in Wisconsin during the last two years
All either Blaine or Ekern had to do to raise
the exemption in Wisconsin for the state in
come tax was to have the law introduced. The
legislature was under their thumb. But these
same fellows who are now going through the
state bidding for votes on the appeal that the
federal exemption should be $4,000 have placed
the state exemption at $1,000
All of which makes their talk ''bit of
sound and fury but signifying nothing" Of
course consistency was never one OF the vir-
tues of this crowd and they will continue to
be''inconsistent as long as the voters of the
state will allow it. This, however, is such a
clear case8of inconsistency that it is an insult
to the voters of Wisconsin for this trio to at
tempt to pull such thin piece of wool over
their eyes.
This is not an isolated case. If any voter
will anayze practically any of the arguments
used by the Blaine, Ekern and Little Bobbie
crowd, he will find that each and everyone Of
them is based on the same principle, namely
get the vote no matter whether the appeal is
a half truth or not. They have pulled the wool
over the eyes of the voters in Wisconsin before
and their former i'll gotten victories have made
them brazen
But new day has dawned in Wisconsin.
Voters are waking up to the deception which
has been used and are weighing the statements
made in this campaign Intelligent voters will
assert themselves next Tuesday at the pri-
mary election in Wisconsin.

For THE WORLDS CHILDREN.

Child welfare is a comparatively new sub
ject for international discussion and co-opera-
ton The first international Child Welfare
Congress convened in Geneva on August "a,
attended by 700 delegates from So countries,
including the United States and several of the
South American republics.
If such congress were nothing more than
a clearing house Of facts about the conditions
of childhood in many different countries, it
ought to accomplish world of good, inspiring
backward countries to follow the example of
more progressive lands. Also the congress may
serve as a sort of glorious training class for
advanced welfare workers, and as a round
table for useful and constructive discussion.
In the end, too certain high standards OF child
welfare may be worked out and set up, if not
officially, at least as an unofficial but useful
guide to all lands.
The United States needs to look to it's own
children, to rescue those who are still caught
in the tolls of unwholesome child labor, to
save others from preventing able diseases and
accidents and to provide better educational OPP
portunity for all of it's children. Whatever con-
dtions of childhood may be in other countries,
they are still far from ideal in many parts of
the United States. Americans undoubtedly
can learn as we'll as instruct at the Geneva
conference.
