THAT PRIMARY BILL
No primary bill will bo enacted into
law dealing with the estate as a whole,
and it ie barely possible that no primary
law of any kind other than the caucus
will be applicable in this state* to the
nomination of candidates for public
office. The senate passed the assembly
bill extending the piovision of a prim
ary election scheme to the election of
city and county officers, referring the
further application of the law to the
will of the electors, to Is* decided at tin
general election of Ittot. It is broadly
hinted that the assembly bill is not to
Gov. La Folk-tie's liking, therefore the
thought is that he will veto it. If he
does this legislature will be barren of re
sults iusi -far as the chief pbmk of the Re
publican party is concerned, and doubt
less the electors will not weep because
of this fact.
It has ls-en evident that Gov. La Fol
k-ties theory is rule or rnin. He wants
to la* dictator and if he cannot have his
way he will pursue the destructive plan.
He well knew as well as did all other
persons who watched the trend of the
senates policy, that that body would
not suppoi t him in a general plan for
primary election. The senate took tie
conservative course, knowing well that
the primary election idea is yet in an ex
perimental stage, and wisely restricted
its provisions Whether the senate act
ed on its own volition or at tin- instiga
lion of a boss, in the person of Congress
man liabcock matters little, the policy
of a restrictive primary election law, is
wie until its utility as a factor for
clean politics is proved. On the day
the vote was taken, when the Merton
bill was defeated, and the assembly bill
passed Congressman Is..bcock was in
Madison and it is rumored he took a
hand in in shaping the fab- of the res
pective bills.
If (iov. La Follette is an.\ioua for prim
ary election he will sign tin* assembly
bill, and he will be able to see how it
will work. Then- up -event v on.;conn
ties in the stub- and over 100 cities, and
and this ahould give a very fair teat of
what can la; accomplished by a primary
law.
For onr own part we believe that no
fietter results will be i< a< died by a prim
ary election law than by a canciJH, that
is to aay if the caucus isattended by the
votersof each of the parties, The reason
that scheming p 1 dii iciam- are able toman
ipulate caucuses in tin* apathy of voter*
in warda and districts If every I)emo
cratic voter would religiously do hia
duty at the caucua no schemer could
manipulate it, but if the voter i u indif
ferent and refuses to go to the caucus
then the politiciana make hay. And
who blames them Just the same with
a primary election law. It would all
depend on the amount of enthusiasm
that the voters put into their action as
to the character ■■( the nominees. II
the same apathy wen shown under the
primary law- as under the caucus law no
ts-tter results would In* achieved. Hut
an we &aid la-fore if Mr, La Follette is
honeat in his purpose he will see that
the assembly bill is enacted into law.
Will he do it The Madison Journal

by one, through the requirement of
slavish obedience, he nas alienated Wis
consin men of power ami influence, save
a handful held by reward or its promise,
he is yet strong with the agricultural in
terest not Close enough to seethe wheels
go around. Gov. La tolette can pro
bably hold his own with a primary elec
tion system or without it. But if it is
reformed politics he wants it is now
within reach.”
MAYOR AND TREASURER
It was a very sensible arrangement
by which Dr. W. G. Kemper was nomi
nated fur mayor on the Democratic
ticket and endorsed by the Republicans
and John Mabnke nominated for city
treasurer by the Republicans and en
dorsed by the Democrats. This obviates
the necessity of a contested election.
Both men are as good as elected now,
and both will do their civic duty to the
advantage of the municipality. It is a
distinct honor conferred on Dr. Kemper.
He was not a seeker fur office nor has
he in any sense of the word participated
in ward manipulations. Since he has
boon able to think and reason for him
self be has been a Democrat, loyally
supporting the fundamental precepts of
his party at the ballot box, and by
argument. He is a citizen of standing,
winning the general respect of the com
munity by upright living, gaining con
(idence by fidelity and fitness in ids pro
fessional undertakings, and gathering
into his friendship persons in all stations
of life.
It is a subject of satisfaction that the
citizens choose men of bis character and
calibre fur public office.
In the runomination of John Mahnke
by a vote of bis own party, and the vote
being acquiesced in by the opposition
party, demonstrated that the citizens
have confidence in him. Mr. Mahnke
lias made a first class officer, an ac
comodating treasurer, and those whose
business has called them to his office
speak well of him. He conducts the
treasurer’s office not as a political lever
but as a business.
THE SUPREME COURT
A constitutional amendment will be
voted on at the forthcoming election,
increasing the membership of the Sup
reme court bench from five to seven.
Thu amendment limits tin. election by
the people to one judge each year, thus
if a vacancy occurs on the bancli by the
death of a member and an election is
scheduled fur the same year, one judge
would be elected, and one appointed by
the governor, the appointive member
would remain a Supreme comt judge
until such time as election could lie
bel 1.
There can he no doubt about the necess
ty of an increase on the Supreme court
bench. The cases appealed are numer
ous, some, however, never should ls<
appi alud. hut the constitution provides
for a court of last resort, hence any
case may be carried up to the Supreme
court The mere increase in the mem
bership of the court will not facilitate
business insofar as arguments are con
cerned, hut the opinions will he written
by seven instead of five judges, hence
the business of the court will he expedit
ol. For our own part we would rather
see that feature of the amendment
eliminated, permitting the governor to
appoint. We think the people can
safely he trusted to vote on one, two oi
the seven judges in any one year.
While the necessity is urgent for an
increase on the Supreme court bench,
the urgency of redistricting the entire
circuits of the state to equalize the work
of the Circuit courts, is even greater.

Young Plants
Every farmer knows that
'•me plants grow better than
ithers. Soil may be the same
md seed may seem the same
Hit some plants are weak and
ithers strong.
And that’s the way with
hildren. They are like young
■hints. Same food,same home,
one tare but some grow big
id strong while others slay
mall and weak.
Si oil’s Emulsion offers an
i-y way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
t.o vation, not because of lack
if food, but because the food
hies not feed.
S( ott’s Emulsion really feeds
od gives the child growing
strength.

ness and failure to grow—•

it and set the matter right.

however, that the commission would ad
vise exemption of credits from taxation,
the contrary of which he u ged in his
message. On this point, therefore, the
governor is ‘out of kilter with the plat
form which was framed exactly to his
liking. Can it be possible that because
of this conflict the governor is now de
termined that his will and not the re
quirements of the platform shall pre
vail 1 If so, then indeed would we have
complete, if not the first, exemplifica
tion of the ‘one-man-power’ idea, so
far at least as an attempt in that direc
tion is concerned. But we shall see."
Is it possible for Gov. La Follette to
wiggle out of the corner V We think
not. but it is possible for him to repu
diate a direct pledge he made to the
people. Now is the day of the gover
nor’s crucial test. We await develop
ments. Is it to be a repetition of the
rule or ruin policy V
A TREMENDOUS BILE
Writing of the enormous payment for
the Panama Canal and the method of
settlement the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican says “The ratification of the
Panama canal treaty involves the pay
ment, by this government of the largest
sum of money it has ever sent abroad.
To the stockholders of the Panama
canal company of France 140,000,000 is
to go; and $10,000,000 to the govern
ment of Columbia a total payment of
$50,000,000, contrasting with the $20,-
000,000 paid to Spain for the Phillippines
in 180S. and $15,000,000 paid to Napoleon
for the Louisiana territory in 1803. The
money for the initial payment on ac
count of the Panama canal has already
been appropriated by congress out of
the general revenues of the govern
ment, of which there is a very ample
supply on hand.
‘ It is probable that the secretary of
the treasury’ has already begun to make
provision for this large draft upon his
cash holdings, and possibly upon the
American money market. The method
of payment, of course, will be the pur
chase of sterling bills of exchange in
the New York market, which will be
sent to the Panama company and the
Columbian government. No ca-h, so
far as the United States government is
concerned, will pans. Hut it may las
that in the purchase of the canal bills of
exchange will be forced up to the gold
exporting point, in which case gold will
be sent out by bankers who make a
business of international exchange.”
