WHAT DOES IT SIGNIFY.
It is said, that figures do not lie.
It true, the conditions in this coun
try are truly alarming judging
trom the talk of the demagogues,
in 1890 the savings bank money
in the United States was equiva
lent to $24.35 for every man,
woman and child in the country,
in 1900 it was equivalent to $34.78
and in 1910 to $45-05 for every
man, woman and child, an increase
between 1890 and 1910 of nearly
fitly per cent for every person.
What of it? What does it signify?
Why, according to Bryan, that
the poor are getting poorer and the
rich are getting richer.
And, according to Roosevelt, that
the malefactors of great means are
robbing the benefactors of small
means worse than ever.
And, according to Wilson, that
the “face of the poor” is being
ground even harder in this Repub- j
lie under the “fist of organized
wealth.”
And, according to LaFollette,
that “special privilege” is robbing
the workingman of “his crust” af
ter having stripped him of his
clothes.
And, according to Davis of Ar
kansas, that the “bloodsuckers of
capital” are impovershing the
“small man” to “bloat” their al
ready “bloated” pccketbooks.
The bank reports all over the
country show large deposits, in
dicitive of a marvelous prosperity
in which all classes are partici
pants. It is surprising that people
will listen to the croakings of dema
gogues and by their votes reverse
conditions and destroy the pros
perity which has prevailed under
wise statesmanship.
LIBELING LINCOLN.
The organization of the Milwau
kee Republican club, articles for
which were filed with the secretary
of state Saturday, marks one of
the steps in the progressive move
ment. The purpose of the organi
zation as set forth in its articles is
that of “promoting the fundamen
tal and living principles of the par
ty which were inspired and are re
flected in the life work of our first
Republican president, Abraham
Lincoln, and in order to secure and
perfect in its full purity the gov
ernment of the people, by the peo
ple and for the people.” —Fond du
Lac Commonwealth.
Yes, and the insurgents, known
in those days as “copper heads,”
abused Lincoln, as the insurgents
are now abusing Taft. Talking
one thing on the stump and doing
the direct opposite when it comes
to doing something for the over
taxed and burdened people. As
Lincoln said, they may fool some
people some of the time, some all
the time, but not all the people all
the time. Their object is becom
ing too transparent —office is their
only aim and desire.
CONFIDENCE NECESSARY.
Confidence is absolutely neces
sary for national prosperity. When
it is destroyed, all kinds of busi
ness suffers, for the wealthy are
provided for until confidence is re
stored. For the past ten years, a
large number of our public men
have been giving their best ener
gies toward the destruction of busi
ness confidence and have appealed
to the people, the thoughtless
among them being influenced in
their political acts by their sophis
try and demagogical appeals to
their cupidity, selfishness and dis
regard for their own interests. The
insurgents have built up a formid
able faction by continually ham
mering confidence and buying space
in magazines and newspapers to
preach the gospel of hate and sing
ing their own praises to secure po
litical advancement. Muckrakers
have been employed at so much
per line and space bought at so
much per inch, to laud insurgents
and abuse honest men working for
the welfare of both the country
and people. As might have been
anticipated, the party now in power
in the nation will be defeated in the
next national election and then,
possibly the people will awaken to
the political errors they have fool
ishly committed.
Thoughts by the Way.
During the civil war there were
what was then known as “bush
whackers.” They were not attached
to neither the federal nor confeder
ate armies but preyed upon the
people indescriminately, but wTien
caught, they claimed to be con
federates. We have business
“bushwhackers” at the present
time in congress who claim to be
republicans, but like their southern
prototypes of the civil war, their
aim and purpose is destructive.
They are destroying confidence and
business, and it behooves the fpeo
ple at the earliest possible moment
to elect men to congress, who will
work for the good of the country
and not exclusively for themselves.
Monday, a vote on the pension
bill was dodged in the House of
Representatives by an adjourn
ment before a vote could be taken.
It will be remembered that the
democratic papers and stump
speakers in the north during the
political campaign last summer
promised that in case the democ
racy was successful there would be
favorable pension legislation as far
as Ithey were concerned. They
simply lied to deceive the old vet
erans and their friends in order to
secure their support. A pension
bill passed in the Senate which is
republican, and it is dodged in the
House which is democratic. The
veterans can draw their own con
clusions.
William J. Bryan’s strong suit
is to scold and find fault with those
who insist on thinking for them
selves and not accepting his ideas
and opinions on national issues.
At the present time, he is pound
ing the southern democrats, show
ing a total absence of gratitude,
for had it not been for the southern
democrats, when he was a presi
dential candidate two-several times,
he would not have known that he
had been a candidate. Like some
other politicans of his class he is
not true to his friends and his
opinions change too often. '
Saved His Wife’s Life.
“My wife would have been in her grave
to-day,” writes 0. H. Brown, of Musca
dine, Ala., “if it had not I jen for Dr.
King’s New Discovery. She was down
in her bed, not able to get up without
help. She had a severe bronchial trouble
and a dreadful cough. I got her a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery, and she
soon began to mend, and was well in a
short time.” Infallible for coughs and
colds, its the most reliable remedy on
earth for desperate lung trouble, hemor
rhages, lagrippe, asthma, hay fever,
croup and wooping cough. 50c, 11.00.

For an Idle Moment.
A Watertown father consulted a friend
as to what career he ought to select for
his son, a boy of 10.
The friend thought the matter over a
bit and then advised the father as follows:
“Lock your boy in a room where there
is a bible on the table, an apple and some
pieces of money. After a quarter of an
hour open the door noiselessly and see
what the boy is doing. If he is reading
the bible make him a clergyman; if his
attention is concentrated on the apple
mako him a farmer, and if he is amus
ing himself by counting the money it’s
plain that he is meant to be a financier.”
The experiment was tried and when
the friend inquired what the result was
the father replied:
“I found him sitting on the bible, he
had pocketed the money and was eating
the apple.”
“Make him a member of eosgress then”
was the advise of the friend.
Mr. G—l suppose you find yonr daughter l
very much improved by her two-year
stay at college?
Proud Watertown mother—La, yes! my
daughter is a carnivorous reader now
and she frequently impoverished music.
But she isn’t a bit stuck up—she is unan'
imous by everybody, ah’ she never keeps
a caller waiting for her to dress; she just
runs in non de plume, and you know that
makes one feel so comfortable.

a Growing Industry
The people of Watertown and vicinity
have not appreciated the fact, that we
have in our city an enterprise that will
certainly develope in magnitude and
importance. For twenty years, E. M.
Stapleton, the west side druggist, has
been manufacturing a large uumber of
family remedies which have become
exceedingly popular and are . endorsed
by all that have used .them, for their
curative value and effectiveness in
restoring health. The remedies manu
factured by Mr. Stapleton are gaining a
reputation and already there is a grow
ing demand for them and shipments are
being made east, west, north, and south.
It is quite probable, that the time is not
far distant when a laboratory on a large
scale will be established fchere for the
manufacture of the Family Remedies
and become one of our leading industry.
Our Banks
Last week, the reports of the three
banks in this city were published in the
columns of the Leader. No city of its
size can show better nor more reliable
financial institutions than Watertown.
The aggregate financial resources of the
three banks is nearly $3,000,000 with
millions back of them. This city cer
tainly has abundant reasons for being
proud of the Bank of Watertown, the
Merchants National Bank and the Wis
consin National Bank.
Senatorial and Assembly
Districts
Under the new senatorial and assem
bly apportionment, should the bills now
under consideration in the legislature
pass, the counties of Jefferson and Dodge
will constitute the Thirteenth senatorial
district and both Jefferson and Dodge
counties will each continue to have two
assemblymen. The senatorial district
will be democratic by a majority that
will obv! ite the necessity of canvassing
the vote and there will be about as much
chance for a republican candidate in
either of the assembly district, as they
would be for an insurgent to be nomi
nated and elected to the presidency by
the republicans. Forestating all others,
the Leader nominates Hon.C. F. Viebahn
for state senator on the democratic ticket.

MANY WONDERFUL CURES
So great and wonderful has been their
cures that in many cases it is hard
indeed to find the dividing line between
skill and miracle.

liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen,
kidneys, or bladder, rheumatism, sciat
ica, diabetes, bed-wetting, leg, ulcers
weak lungs and those afflicted with
long-standing deep-seated, chronic dis
eases, that have baffled the skill of
the family physician, should not fail
to call.
If you have kidney or bladder troubles
bring a two-ounce bottle of your urine
for chemical analysis and microscopic
examination.
Deafness often cured in sixty days.
NOTHING IN THEIR TREAT
MENT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A
KNIFE.
By their developed system, no more
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, goiter, piles or cancer. They
were among the first in America to earn
the name of the “Bloodless Surgeons,”
by doing away with the knife, blood and
pain in the successful treatment and
cure of these dangerous diseases.
Their new treatment for cancer, tu
mor, tubercular glands, eating ulcers
and other malignant growths is wonder
ful in its effect. A germ destroying
fluid is injected hypodermically into the
vei y heart of the growth until it reaches
every root, fibre, cell and substance.
One treatment in many cases is suffi
cient to cure.

After Many Years
E. J. Dailey of k ßenville, Minn., was a
guest Saturday at the old Ferdinand
Volkmann farm in the town of Water
town, his first visit since his father sold
the farm to the late Ferdinand Volkmann
thirty seven years ago, when he was a
lad. During his visit, he walked over
the farm, which is one of the very best
in the township, and noted the many
changes wrought by German industry
and improved methods of farming. He
also, noted the marvelous improvements
in the surronding country and in the
city during his absence, which exceeded,
his expectations.
The farm probably could not be pur
chased at the present time, for five times
what it was sold for by the senior Dailey,
who evidently, had no idea of the won
derful increase in realty values, which
would be experienced by those who held
onto their farms. Mr. Dailey, who is a
practicing attorney, enjoyed nis visit to
childhood home and with the Volkmann
family who made it very pleasant for
him.
