LENT NEARLY OVER
The Lenten season closes on Saturday
night and Eastertide opens on Sunday.
Lent is peculiarly a Catholic custom,
yet in this country, its spirit steins to
pervade all religions, indeed people of
no religion. Society folks siezo upon
this period of religious introspection not
so much forthhe purpose of introspection
as for a respite from the exacting follies
incident to a gay life, Somepersons, who
wish to tie known as society people, vo
into retreats at convent' at this season
of the year; they do so because it is a
fad, a novelty, what they believe the
proper thing. Of course there can he
no harm come from this practice and if
the benefit is but passive and not active,
it serves a laudable purpose, inasmuch
as it keeps them from over indulgence
in gayety.
Soon, however, the restraints of Lent
will be over and society can again
plunge into the frivolities of butterfly
existence.
THE COURTHOUSE PROJECT
The new County board will lie called
to pass upon the question of issuing
bonds for the erection of a court house
worthy of the wealth and dignity of ttie
county. The committee chosen by the
late board to secure plans and specifica
tions, has completed its work, and the
reisirt will Is; made at the spring ses
sion of the board. No taxpayer is op
posed to the proposition of building a
new court house. The urgency of the
need is apparent, therefore no objection
nor no jealousy should le jiermitted to
interfere with carrying out the pro
gramme. Tiie farmers who reside in
the rural districts, have pride in the
position they occupy of leaders in
agricultural pursuits, hence wish to give
concrete evidence of the fact in their
public buildings.
The spring session takes place in May,
and it should be a part of the work of
the Imard. to i arry the court house pro
ject through, by adopting a design, and
authorizing the issuance of isinds to
meet the necessary expenses.
PRESIDENT'S MILWAUKEE SPEECH
President Roosevelt's speech in Mil
waukee delivered last Friday before the
Merchant’s and Manufacturer’s asso
ciation, on trusts, was simply a bill for
votes. The president's attitude on
these great combinations of capital, is
to regulate them, through the process
of internal law. This has been at
tempted through tie* Sherman anti
trust law the Interstate Commerce
commission has been at work for years,
endeavoring to put a stop to illegal
business methods, but no adequate law
has yet been devised up to now
and none will lie except through the
reduction of tariff schedules.
President Roosevelt began his address
with the following proposition:
1 think 1 speak for the great majority
of the American js-ople when I say that
we are not in the least against wealth
as such, whether individual or cor
porate; that we merely desire to sis* any
abuse of corporate or combined wealth
corrected and remedied , that we do not
desire the abolition or destruction of
big corporations, but, on the contrary,
recognize them as being in many cases
efficient economic instruments, the re
sult of an inevitable process of economic
evolutions.
In the above paragraph the admission
is male that trusts are here to stay as
f-.r as the Republican party is con
cerned, and that as a palliative to tin*
demands of the vast majority of the
people some slight attempt will Is- made
to correct glaring abuses. Nothing can
be plainer than that a policy of non
interference with continued amalga
mations of capital will be inexorably
adhered to, hence trusts can continue to
thrive, protected by law under the
guise of prosperity. The president says
without subterfuge, "we recognize them
as being in many cases efficient
economic instruments, the result of an
inevitable process of economic evolu
tion.” Mr. Roosevelt could say no
different if h- desires to be elected to
office again, because he simply must
cater to the interests which promoted
his ambition to hold and continue in
his exalted position. There is no hedg
ing from this fact.
In bis Milwaukee utterance the presi
dent admits as we have said trusts are
not wholly immaculate, but have been
•onvicted of abuses. To remedy these,
particularly the giving of rebates, he
says:
Congress, having bail its attention
drawn to the matter, enacted a most
important anti-rebate law, which great
ly strengthens the interstate commerce
law. This new law prohibits under
adequate penal'xes the giving and as
well the demanding or receiving of
such preferences, ami provides the pre
ventative remedy of injunction. The
vigorous administration of this law, and
it will t>e enforced, will, it is hoped,
afford a substantial remedy for certain
trust evils which have attracted public
attention and have created public un
rest.
This is all very good as far as it goes,
tint is it possible for any legislation to
be enacted which will prevent this
abuse. Men in their individual capa
cities are honest, but when they are
massed into corporations it takes away
individual sense of honor therefore
trusts have no compunction of con
science in evading any provision which
may be enacted to prevent unlawful
acts. The men who make national
laws are able, the corporations seeking
to evade them are abler, hence are al
ways successful. Congress may enact
anti-rebate laws, but corporations
handle their own books and they can
evade such laws without the possibility
of detection.
Now, then, the president laid es
pecial emphasis on publicity. This
method of finding out how trusts con
duct their business would lie wise if it
were jsissible to get an adequate and
truthful account of thei* business which
we doubt.
The one great and sure remedy for
the trust evil a revision of the tariff
does not appeal to the president; he
ignores it as impracticable, yet the
wisest political economists are almost
unanimous in the view that through a
revision of the tariff and the conse
quent expansion of competition can
trusts be dealt with.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
The senate and assembly have agreed
to conference committees to bring
about some understanding on the pri
mary bill. Th# men who will represent
the assembly are Messrs. Andrew of
South Superior, Frear of Hudson and
LeKoy of Marinette, while those who
will act for the senate are Morse of
Princeton, Whitehead of Janesville and
Beach of Whitewater.
It is as well to take a clear view of
this question and not to be disappointed
at the results ol the conference. The
assembly, through Sjsiaker Lenroot. is
represented by a committee unalterably
op[K>sed to the referendum clause in
jected into the assembly primary bill by
the senate, and the senate committee is
just as inexorable in its position, to in
sist on the referendum clause. What
will be the outcome V No harmony, no
agreement. This, then, means that for
this legislature no primary bill will lie
enacted and that the caucus and con
vention will still lie in the saddle.
The assembly rejected the referendum
clause or the amended assembly will at
the instigation, we believe, of Gov. La
Follette. In this the governor lost an
admirable chance to test the value of
his bill as well as to do something in
the nature of constructive statesman
ship. His action was impolitic, some
people would call it ball-headed, and by
the time the present session of the
legislature closes, which will tie a)suit
June 15. he will have the satisfaction of
seeing a zero as far as ho will have been
able to bring about any practical legis
lation.
ALL THE GOVERNOR ASKED
Even a Republican pajier like the Re
publcan of La Crosse writing of the
senate’s action on the primary bill says,
"There is nothing vague or uncertain
about the measure its it stands to-duy.
It is all that Gov. laiFolletfe and his
lieutenants have contended for. It is tvs
revolutionary as the most pronounced
primary election advocate could pre-

SOME TIMELY CONCLUSIONS
Interest is still rife in the mysterious
death of Mr. Burdick, who was slain in
his Buffalo home by some hand yet un
known. From the tragedy, as dark a
one. which has happened in this coun
try, the Springfield, (Mass.) Republican
draws some timely conclusions. The
excerpt which we give is well worth
re ailing and pondering on. The paper
says: “If Pennell did no more than
break up Burdick’s home, and was in
nocent of the actual murder, yet he has
been visited with immeasurable retri
bution in his fate, for, if innocent of as
sassination, he cannot now convince the
majority of his fellow-men that on his
hands theie was no blood. As for the
woman upon whose weakness he had
played with his attractive manners and
his high education, her plight is as
miserable as one could conceive. The
whole wretched affair is a warning that
those who play false to their most
sacred vows court a degradation and a
ruin worse than death.
“The fact that Mr. Pennell was a
Yale graduate should not prejudice any
one against a college education. Nor
should there be a disposition to believe
that the revelations of the case neces
sarily indicate a widespread or growing
looseness among married people who
are received in respectable society.
Domestic relations in this country are
really much purer, on the whole, than
they were in the l*th century in Eng
land, when a father like Lord Holland
deliberately introduced his own son,
the famous Charles Fox, to social vices
in Paris, because he considered such
things part of the education of an
English gentleman. At the sume time,
it cannot lie ignored that the growth of
luxurious and idle living, the increase
of mere pleasure seeking, exposes the
wealthier portion of our people to those
vices which have always atliicted a
polite society. But the heart of the
American home remains sound and
pure, in spite of the occasional lapses
which may or may not become known
to the world.”
Don’t
Don’t get the notion that the curative
jiower of a medicine exists in a name.
It must le in the medicine itself. You
may not have heard of Re-Go Tonic
Laxative Syrup. It is not made of tigs
liecanse the laxative principle of figs
are the seeds, yet it is as pleasant to
bike as figs are to eat and is a certain
cur- for biliousness, constipation, in
digestion and stomach trouble. The
name is Re Go, which in Sanscrit means
“good.” The merit is all in the medi
cine itself. Sold by Henry Hinricbs,
