Primary election has been killed in

It is reported from Washington that

friends. It is to be expected that Payne

The postoffice scandal is reaching out
to every department of the government

In Mention of available candidates
for the leadership of the Democratic
party in the presidential campaign next
year, many papers throughout the coun
try are giving Ex Senator William F.
Vilas, of Wisconsin, prominence.
The pictorial Wisconsin book to be
distributed at the Ht. Louis Worlds
Fair, says the secretary of the Wiscon
sin board of managers, is to contain
abont 100 pages, and illustrated scenes
in all parts of Wisconsin. An edition
of 300,000 will be published at an ex
pense of about SIO,OOO.
The Daily Press and the Daily Re
publican and Leader at LaCroase have
been merged and the paper is now the
Lender and Press Roland B. Gelatt is
editor and manager and the paper will
be independent. The Leader and Press
is now the only evening paper of La
Crosse and it would appear that the
consolidation wtis a wise move.
Tm: manner in which the court house
project was defeated and the memls-rs
who loaned themselves to its accom
plishment cannot be too strongly cen
sured. Had the plan met opposition
from the public there would have been
(invalid excuse for the resolution which
was spiung at the last minute.
If Kooseveet is elected to the presi
dency he will break the hoodoo that
has followed every vice president who
has been called to the chair by the
death of the president during a term of
office. With the hoodoo and the opposi
tion in his own party, Roosevelt’s
title is not clear.

There may le no practical use of Latin
or Greek to many who study them, but
they are of great use, and these studies
so easily forgotten have done great work
when the goal is reached.
The operations of the department of
agriculture in Washington are steadily
expanding. In lh!)7 the appropriation
for the department was $3,255,000. In
1900 it was $3,700,71)0. Last year it was
$5,200,000. This year congress has ap
propriated $1 ,500,000 for the construc
tion of anew building for the depart
ment.
The state land office has suspended
the sale of public lands of the state, act
ing in accordance with the terms of
chapter 450 of the laws of 1903. The
suspension of sales is until October 15.
The state has recently adopted a policy
which will bring to the treasury of the
state and the public land fuuo the prof
its which have hitherto gone into the
pockets of speculators.
Tonsokiai, artists are now putting in
their spare moments in study, prepara
tory to the coming examination requir
ed of them under the new law. Mere
skill with the raiior will not do, as the
law requires them to have a practical
knowledge of the nature and treatment
of all common diseases of the skin. On
this branch of their art some of them
feel rather shaky when required to pass
examination. The new law goes into
effect July 1.
Ex-Phehident Grover Cleveland is
out with a statement that he is not as
piring to another nomination on the
Democratic ticket in 19*14 and will Is?
satisfied to serve as a private iu the
ranks. The conviction forces itself
that Cleveland is going to a great deal
of trouble for cue who is not directly in
terested in the nomination.
Positively the country is weary of
Roosevelt. He is a poser, a spectacular
performer, a light weight. He does not
measure up to his cilice, is too erratic
and unsafe. The solid substantial,
thoughtful men of all parties are against
him. The democrats can elect their
man if they are wise and stand together
and stop their foolish bickerings. Chip

Human happiness, according to the
most received notions, seems to con
sist of three ingredients, action,
pleasure and indolence. And though
these ingredients ought to be mixed in
different proportions, according to the
particular disposition of the person, yet
no one ingredient can be entirely
wanting without destroying in some
measure the relish of the whole com
position. ____________
Hanna declines to play a second
fiddle to Roosevelt and has positively re
fused to become the vice presidential
nominee of the republicans in 1904.
This was to l>e expected and surprises
no one. The greater surprise will be
Hanna's failure to give Roosevelt a con
test for the first place on the ticket in
the convention. Beveridge, of Indiaua (
is now said to be the available candidate
for the second place on the ticket, al
though LaFollette of Wisconsin, has
ambitions in that line also.
Here’s to the American hen, who is
one of the greatest wealth producers in
this country Last year she laid some
sixteen billion eggs, representing a
market value of $150,000,000. During
the same time the poultry produced
amounted to $139,000,000, and the com
bined values of poultry and eggs was
nearly double that of the output of the
precious metals, and six times that of
the wool crop of the country. What
would the American farmer do without
his faithful friend and stand by, Un-
American hen?-- Ex.
Treat your animals with gentleness
and seen how much more they will do
for you. Beating a cow over the head
with a fence rail will neither improve
her disposition nor increase her flow of
milk. You cannot improve your horses
by applying any sort of instrument of
torture. A man who beats any animal
with a club merits the same treatment.
Ho does the man or woman who un
mercifully beats children, provoking as
some of them may beat times. And
all through life it is well 'o remember
that more flies can be caught with
molasses than with vinegar.
It is no discredit to a man to have
any opposition says an exchange. Many
men hesitate to adopt any course that
will call forth the opposition of any per
son because they do not want enemies.
The world is full of envious people.
Some people hate a man because lie is
successful in business or occupies a
prominent position in the social circles
of a community. People have no ani
mostly towards the quiet unassuming
man who offends no one or gets in no
one’s way. It is the man with push and
energy who excites envy and incurs en
mity. Every man who is fearless in the
discharge of his obligations in any sta
tion of life has enemies but blessed be
he. for he is usually the man with prin
ciple. _____________
Ni:w evidence of corruption is being
unearthed daily in the postoflice scandal
and another official position has been
declared vacant as a result of the facts
which have come to light. 11. 11. Hand
a Wisconsin man, private secretary to
Postmaster General Payne Is under fire
and his connection with a mining com
pany which sold stock to employees of
the department will be investigated. It
is reported that Payne is to resign rath
er than prolie matters to the end and
another report is that President Roose
velt is desirous that the scandal be hush
ed up as much as possible iu fear of the
effect it may have ou affairs next yeai.
Enough has come out, however, to give
the public knowledge of the rottenness
that exists in all branches of the service.
It WILL be at least two years before
another move can, with the expectation
of results, be made in the new court
house project even though the need of
the building is immediate. Members
of the present Board will hesitate to re
open the question and it can have but
little chance of success in any event,
considering the conditions existing in
the Board. The project had been given
an excellent start, sentiment through
out the county was cry stall zed iu favor

and there was virtually no opposition.
In view of these conditions it is more to
l)e regretted that the members of the
Board who voted to abandon the plan
could not have arisen above petty per
sonal spite and have taken advantage of
the opportunity presented to give the
county the boon of which it is so greatly
in need.
WiiiLKtheaction of the County Board
of Supervisors in abandoning the pro
ject for the building of a now court
house must bo generally regretted, and
especially the spirit that prompted the
move, it is perhaps as well, under the
circurns'ances, that the Board decided
■is it did. The refusal to adopt the plan
for condemnation of the property de
sired as an additional site forecast the
dissatisfaction that would have resulted
and trouble for the project. There had
been engendered a spirit of opposition
among the Board members over the
discrediting of the original committee
and this would have been an obstacle
that would have required considerable
force to overcome. It is as well as long
as the Board was unwilling to give the
County the best to be had that the pro
ject should be delayed until the senti
ment is more favorable and the needs of
the County more fully appreciated by
members of the Board.
"Less noise arnl more attention to
speechmaking" is the cry of a well
meaning Wisconsin man who has raised
a protest against Young America’s
methods of celebrating the Nation's
natal day and is circulating an appeal
in the interests of reform. Among the
reasons given why a change is desirable
is that of the large loss of life and num
ber of causualities annually resulting,
the immense waste of money, estimated
at |3,000,000 each year, and the loss of
property. The present form of celebra
ting is not calculated to further the true
spirit of patriotism in the young mind.
The Manitowoc council adopted an or
dinance two years ago prohibiting the
sale of the cannon cracker, and other
restrictions in line with the suggestions
made in the circular have been made
here, but it is doubtful that a revolution
will be accomplished for many years to
come. There is undoubtedly much
abuse of the liberties of the day but the
license makes this a condition to be ex
pected and it will be hard to overcome.
Tin; Akvanckment Association re
cently organized to promote the general
welfare of the city anil further industri
al and commercial interests by inducing
the location of new factories and other
institutions of beneficial character, has
issued an appeal to the public for a fund
of jjrjo, oo() to be placed at the Associa
tions disposal to be used ns bonus in
event that the opportunity presents it
self to secure an industry or industries
by the judicious use of that plan and
the appeal has met with a ready re
sponse. Several thousand dollars has
been subscribed and it is belie red that
the entire amount will be forthcoming
with but little effort. The move by the
Association is a wise one and will great
ly facilitate the work for which the or
gani/ation was effected by placing it on
an independent footing and making it
possible to close a deal for a factory at
once. The Association will be in a po
sit ion to treat with the promoters im
mediately without losing time to de
lermine whether or not a sufficient sum
to guarantee the bonus, if one is de
manded, can bo raised. The fund is in
trustworthy hands and will be called in
to use only when it is seen that the beat
interests of the city will be secured.
It is not the purpose of the Pilot to
unjustly criticise or to censure the de
part merits of city government or the
officials employed therein, but the dis
turbance in the Police department at
present should be investigated and
without delay. One of the first steps
that should he taken by the Fire and Po
lice Commission is to place a ban on the
practice indulged in by certain officials
to seek vindication, justification or exon
oration through the columns of the
public press. During the past week
there lias appeared in one of the daily
papers a number of articles, the source
and inspiration for which is plainly
evident
Thin in not the firnt time that unit tern
that should lie confined to the depart
metit have found their way to print
through the desire of the name oilicial
for public attention and it is not ini
probable that the work of the depart
ment has been BeriouHly interfered with
and handicapped in (lie pant by prenm
tore publleatioiiH. In thin instance the
publication Is-ars the earmarks of
ji alous spite and does a great injury to
the victim of (lie attack who, while pro
bably open to criticism, is no more to
blame than hi* superior officer who
issued die orders in the case. The
Fire and Police Commission has an
nounced intention of probing tlie matt
er to the bottom and it is not unliki ly
that some interesting and sensational
developments may follow. The matters
for pnblieation, however, should Iki
given out by tlie Commissioners and
not by the officers of the department.
No oni: is surprised with the develop
ments in the City Fire department and
the resignation of Chief Deuno was not
uneXpeeled under the rumors of trouble
of late The change wiw* forecast by
tlie affair of two months ago when ( 'apt,
Heide resigned, the true conditions in
the department having become known
at that time. In many respects Deuno
was a valuable man and if economy
were sought his retention would best
serve the interest. During his tenure in
the position, he has virtually performed
the service of electrician in both the
Fire and Police departments and by his
retirement and the introduction of a
new man, it will be necessary to engage
a mechanical engineer for the work, an
additional expense o f several hundred
dollars yearly. The chief trouble in the
department appears to be a lack of dis
cipline, a serious detriment to the good
of the service. Manitowoc has been
fortunate in having but few fires, and
none of serious consequence, but unless
the department is maintained—disci
pline sustained and efficiency assured —
the dangers in event of a conflagration
of proportions would be great. The
Fire and Police Commission in its inves
tigation unearthed many minor faults
in the department, which combined,
urged the necessity and wisdom of a
change. Chief Kratz has had a wide
exjierience as a fire tighter and bears
recommendations that insure the city a
department, under his management,
second to none in the state.
