Wausau Pilot.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1910.
Published weekly and entered at the Post
Office at Wausau as second class matter.
The insurgents in Kansas have
elected seven out of eight of their
crowd for congress. This gives prom
ise of the present fight in the republi
can ranks being kept up indefinitely.
Even the republicans of lowa could
not resist giving President Taft a
blow in their party platform. If the
democrats will only give the republi
can party enough rope it will hang
Itself.
Ed. Glennon has just celebrated
the 33d birthday of his paper—the
Stevens Point Gazette. There is no
country daily or weekly in the state
that is so up-to-date as the Gazette
or full of live items. Congratula
tions, Ed.
The Times editor is as busy as a
man can be in dog days, but w ill lay
off to see that there is a funeral, with
Gene Thayer of Wausau leading the
procession, unless he sends us the
Pilot more regularly. It’s three
weeks since a copy has been received
and it’s hard to keep house without

option candidate for of Wis
consin, in a speech delivered in Mil
waukee the other day, hauled W. D.
Conner over the coals in a fashion
that must make the Hon. W. D.
squirm some. He closed by saying :
“Now Mr. Connor is against
Stephenson. He is against LaFollette.
Likewise he is against Mr. Hatton;
he is against Cook and right at this
minute he is against you.”
Horace A. Taylor of Madison,
one time assistant secretary of the
treasury and prominent in Wisconsin
politics, died at his residence in
Washington on Friday morning, Aug.
sth. He was brought to Washing
ington from Atlantic City several
days ago when there were indications
that he was failing. Mr. Taylor was
born at Norfolk, N. Y., in 1837 and
removed to Wisconsin at the age of
10. He established The River Falls
Journal at River Falls, and
later removed to Hudson, where he
owned the Hudson Star and Times.
Then he went to Madiso;.. buying the
Wisconsin State Journal. He was
prominent in Wisconsin politics and
was chairman of the Republican state
central committee in Wisconsin at
one time. He was timber agent for
Wisconsin, consul to Havre, France,
United States railway commissioner
and assistant secretary of the treas
ury. He was familiarly known as
“Uncle Hod.”

ARGUMENTUM AD IGNORANTIAM
The insurgent republicans and followers of Robert M. LaFollette seem to
be hard pressed by the loyal followers of the republican party in this state
and special efforts are being made to convince fair minded and progressive
democrats that the paramount question at issue in this campaign, i. e. elect
ing R. M. LaFollette, F. E. McGovern, E. A. Morse, A. H. Dahl, Herman L.
Ekern, et. al. to office, is not a matter of party politics but a great movement
of the people against the special interests. Speakers from other states are to
be imported to impress Wisconsin voters and rally them to promote the spec
ial interests of LaFollette, McGovern, Morse, Dahl, Ekern, et. al., and already
Judge Ben Lindsey lias appeared as advance guard, and at Beloit in his ap
peal to save Lalollette from impending defeat and explaining “why he, a
democrat, was speaking for a republican” said : “There is no longer such a
thing as a democrat or a republican.” Think it over. Judge Lindsey comes as
a democrat to speak for a republican, but insists that there is no longer such
a thing as * democrat or a republican; argumentum ad ignorantiam , or as the
intelligent, fair minded democrat would translate it, “ don't make me laugh,
my lip's split;’ it is with that kind of guff they hope to Svengali those whom
they are pleased to term fair minded and progressive democrats. “This move
ment of the people against the special interests'' is a well rounded phrase and
when delivered with proper unction, trembling Up and moistened eye, calcu
lated to deliver the goods; McGovern tried it on 137 men and 4 boys in Wau
sau the other evening, and with him too it was not a question of party poli
tics; with J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, corruption and graft as a back
ground, it made quite a lurid forensic display of campaign fireworks and the
applause of nine people in the audience, including the janitor, showed real
appreciation of the speaker’s w illingness to sacrifice himself by accepting the
office of governor. For a one night stand affair Mr. McGovern’s effort was as
impressive as it was ineffective; other issues were touched upon so deftly and
lightly as to mystify his audience, and if he did not tell just what action he
would take as governor if the legislature should pass a county option bill, it
was probably due to the fact that his election is such a remote contingency,
but everyone—including the boys—was fully convinced that Francis E.
McGovern thinks he is at least a third-in-the-race candidate for governor and
that it would be a big boost for the great movement of the people against
the special interests if he were elected to sign the notary public commissions
and act as the official delegate to the county fairs during the next two years.
But there are apt to be some rude awakenings and enlightening surprises
for these self appointed apostles who are working overtime preaching the
doctrine of discontent—whose stock in trade lias been the sowing of dissen
tion and who attempt to reap a harvest of office in the disorganization of
political parties and in the creation of distrust.
Well rounded phrases, no matter in how high a key enunciated and how
ever dramatically accompanied by the gesture of the trembling finger of
scorn when denouncing the grafter—and the demoralizing influence of Ids at
tempts to get something for nothing, all these dramatic sidelights fail in effect
as the the people remember Robert M. LaFollette as the most arrogant
political boss of the most arbitrary political machine any state
was ever cursed with; they do not forget his use of an organized
game wardens’ department for political purposes while being paid for
their time and service out of the public treasury; they have an ink
ling of the regular contributions of capital employees and state officers to the
campaign fund; they still see the picture of 48 state employees ordered into
the Third Congressional district by Governor LaFollette in his determined
efforts to defeat Congressman Babcock because he had the temerity not to
bend the knee and bow to the man who perhaps has spent more money than
any other man ever has in this state to gain his political ends—with this
only difference, that the money so spent was not earned by him, but contrib
uted and coi'ected in some ways not exactly ladylike to talk about.
Is it surprising that the audience do not throw up their hats and break
the furniture in their enthusiasm when Francis E. McGovern’s voice re
echos in the hall with his impressive denunciation of the deplorable going-to
hell conditions of our country because of the grafter, the system and the in
terests—all trying to get something for nothing, when they remember that he, a
poor man—as he himself says—could afford to spend eleven thousand dollars
in the primary campaign two years ago, in his efforts to get the nomination
for a seventy-five hundred dollar office ?
Like the seed that won’t come up and the argument that won’t go down,
sending out campaign literature under a congressional frank seems to most
people like getting something for nothing. That makes up quite a bill for post
age for other candidates for the nomination for congress; no amount of
assurance on the part of E. A. Morse that he single-handed and alone intro
duced, passed and accomplished every reform enacted at the last session—
with the exception of such for which LaFollette demands a quitclaim deed—
can convince the people of this district that the public treasury should bear
even a part of Ids campaign expenses or that his promises have squared with
his performances and that present conditions will not be benefited by a
change. Voting to retain Cannon as speaker when the question came
squarely before congress did not carry special favor with democrats, and
shouting against Cannonism now to gain a renomination w ill hardly mislead
a majority of the republicans in this district who still seem able to disting
uish the real thing from the plated article, and unless we misread the signs,
E. A. Morse will feel as if he spelled his name R. E. Morse when the votes
are counted.
One need not even be a fair-minded democrat to be led to suspect, that
appointing a son as night watchman in the office of the state treasurer and
then have the son farm out the job for half of the salary to a student
working his way through the university, is very close to getting something for
nothing, which in the otter fellow would be a species of graft to be strenu*
ously condemned by Mr. Dahl when emphasizing his services as watchdog of
the people’s treasury.
It would seem too, like an endeavor to get something for nothing to
attempt to increase the deputy insurance commissioner's salary from il,Boo
to 13,600 a year by presenting such increase in a bill to regulate the examina
tion of Insurance companies under the guise of safe-guarding the peoples’
interests, and no one would for a moment think—after the thorough training
in methods and practice under La Follette—that Herman L. Ekern would
have been guilty of accepting this something for nothing if Assemblyman M.
J. Cleary had not discovered the little woodchuck and promptly killed the
bill, and little old Herman kept right on donating his disinterested services
to the state at the same old salary, but now is out gunning for his reward.
These tremulous, ardent appeals to down the grafter, annihilate the sys
tem and wipe out the interests, and the pathetic assurances that the present
campaign is not a party matter—that it is not a question of democratic doc
trine or republican doctrine, but that it is simply a question of representative
govem)..ent and electing the right man to office would listen better if made by
men who were not always working for themselves and denouncing everything
and everybody else.
The democrats have a ticket of their own in this campaign the members
of that party are united and recognize their opport unity: they are fair
minded and progressive enough not to be inveigled by the absurd and ridic
ulous bunk doled out by the imported talking machines who are strangers to
the political conditions prevailing in this state.
The disorganizing influences of the Wisconsin primary law have about
run their course. Fair-minded and progressive democrats have had their
exp Hence and will remain in their own primary and support their own
ticket. Political conditions look good—for a change.
Immense Republican Qmft
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, has cer
tainly stirred up the nation with ids
charges of bribery and graft in his
state in the Indian land fraud, in
volving even a man holding the high
position of vice-president of the
United States—“ Sunny Jim" Sher
man,—who has been requested to
appear before the committee and give
testimony. The cry of the republi
can press, that it is a democratic
scheme to besmirch men high up in
the republican ranks, is only an
attempt to raise sufficient dust to
hide the true state of affairs. This Js
perhaps the rottenest mess perpe
trated by republicans in many a year.
Senator Gore’s assertions were the
following:
Tliat there was *3.000,000 "graft" in
the McMurray land fee scheme.
That Hainan told him that a man
higher up in the government was in
j terested in the approval of the con
tracts.
That when asked who was the man
"higher up,” Hamon had replied Vice-
President Sherman.
That Hamon said Senator Curtis
was “interested" in the deal.
That Hamon said Congressman
i McGuire of Oklahoma, was “interest
ed" in the deal.
| Tliat Hamon said an employe of the
1 department of justice at Washington
was "interested" in the deal.
I That he (Senator Gore) knew the
name of the employe,
i That Senator Long of Kansas, had
urged President Taft to approve the
contracts.
Of course Vice-President Sherman
denies Itaving been connected in any
way in the affair, as do ail the others.
If it were possible to ferret out the
facts in the case, no doubt many
"leaders" would liave to suffer.

How to Secure Parks.
The Pilot has often said that the
city of Wausau had not the means to
purchase beautiful parks; put up ex
pensive hospitals; lay conduits to rent
to public service corporations; make
every barren spot to blossom like tl e
rose, etc. Our wealthy citizens must
do something if they want a city
beautiful and not place burdensome
taxes on the man who barely makes
enough for a living. Any person or
paper that would advocate differ
ently has ".ot the welfare of the city
at heart, and we doubt if any but
transients would venture the proposi
tion of purchasing parks, etc., and
thus burden our citizens. This article
is prompted by the very generous
gifts of Hon. A. H. Stangeto the city
of Merrill. He gave Merrill a beauti
ful park several years ago, which is
located between what is known as the
east and w est sides of that city. He
noticed that one part of the park was
used by the pupils of the high school
for athletic sports, so as to interfere
with the plans for improving the
same. So last week this man, whose
good deeds are making his name know n
throughout Wisconsin, again made
that city a donation of nearly two
blocks of valuable ground, the same
to be used as a public play ground.
Mr. Stange is continually doing for
Merrill, and this one man will contrib
ute sufficiently to make Merrill one
of the handsomest cities in the state.
Merrill has been fortunate in having
generous men. The late Thos. B.
Scott, one of its wealthy and generous
citizens, gave the city a public library
and means to support it continually.
Wausau lias, perhaps, the largest
number of wealthy men of any city
of Its size in Wisconsin; all are liberal
and have donated generously in every
public movement. Walter Alexander
helped largely, in donating property,
to give Wausau the Mcindoe park.
B. G. Plumer and Aug. Kickbusch
donated the fair grounds, which is
one of the prettiest parks in Wiscon
sin. Walter Alexander, so we are
told, is beautifying the grounds in the
neighborhood of Jim Moore creek, and
that he will eventually donate this to
the city. Neal Brow n and C. F. Dun
bar donated the beautiful high school
grounds. Messrs. Neal Brown, Win
ton and Gilbert, we are informed, are
also arranging to donate the city a
park near St. Mary’s hospital.
We need more parks and public
play grounds in the central part of
the city. We need *a sanitarium
where our people can go and rest and
receive baths, treatment, etc.; a san
itarium for those afflicted with tuber
culosis, one in w hich treatment can
be had at a price which will not bar a
single patient.
There are many institutions for the
good of humanity that can be built
right here in Wausau by those phil
anthropically inclined, and which not
only hand down their names to pos
terity, but will make Wausau the
one great city of Wisconsin, in w hich
to reside. Let us stop all this silly
talk about the municipality buying
up parks, building hospitals, sanitar
iums, making the city beautiful, etc.,
but instead, let us prevail upon our
people of wealth, to do something
along these lines. Beautiful ps.KS
can be made of grounds that, today,
have not even a shrub growing upon
them, and which can be bought for a
song; a thousand small trees can be
set out, yearly, at a small expense,
ninety per cent, of which will live,
and in five years will be large enough
to produce beauty, shade and com
fort. Neal Brown did this in the
Wausau cemetery, and why not in a
public park ?
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
During the thunder storm Tuesday
evening tiie Douville boarding bouse,
east side of the river, was struck by
lightning and considerable damage
resulted. The bolt apparently struck
near the chimney on the roof, rang
ing downward into the sitting room
where it ripped the walls up, tearing
off the picture moulding and wall
paper. Here it encountered the tel
ephone wires and passed out of the
building. One of the windows in a
room in the second story was torn out,
and Rudolph Pauls, who was occupy
ing the room was literally thrown
from his bed, sustaining severe shocks
and the mattress catching fire. Oscar
Schultz, who occupied the room next
to Mr. Pauls, was also badly shocked,
the more serious of the two, having
been stunned for some little time.
Miss May Douville, who was lying
on the ccuch in the sitting room at
the time, was also severly shocked.
A peculiar thing about the shock was
the manner in which the wall paper
was torn into shreds and reluced to
mere particles of dust. A shoe in one
of the rooms up stairs was also torn
to shreds. Miss Douville certainly
tiad a very narrow escape as particles
of the picture moulding and little
pieces of wood from the ceiling and
walls were blown into the couch all
around where she was lying. The
burning mattress was quickly thrown
out of doors and danger of fire was
thus averted. The telephone was
completely demolished and it is
thought ♦ at the only tiling that
saved the building from being set
afire in the sitting rootr was the fact
that the boh appeared to have gone
out of the building on the telephone
wires.—Mosinee Times.
