EEKLY POST important, the rate for messages is placed at 25 cents for 25 words, and it Is expected that some such rate as this will prevail for all after the The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this manufacturers an opportunity to practice extortion on home consumers. It is not remarkable, under such circumstances, that at last the American Publishers association should demand the repeal of the outrageous, trust-making duty. Madison at from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, as they would undoubtedly be able to do, does any man in his senses think they would not do it? The effect upon the banks would be the same as If they had suddenly increased their savings deposits upon which they paid 2 per cent interest, giving them an equivalent amount of new money to be placed again at from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, their profit oh ceeded through to the upper end, widening the channel to the full extent that its bucket could reach. The material taken out was deposited In the form of a fairly high bank running from a foot to six or eight feet above the water level, which is easy to see and to avoid and against which it might be possible to touch without running hard and fast aground.

"THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1907 A NEW DICTIONARI AN. New York. October 1. Editor The Post, Appleton.

Wis. Dear Sir: I am deeply flattered to see that I have excited a tclunm of editorial comment. I cannot admit Webster's as an authority, it is passe; furthermore, definition contradicts itself, in my favor. As for the Standard's definition there is the point exactly, "so used chiefly by LANDSMEN: It might have added "or other ignoramuses." If you were on shipboard would you say it is eight bells o'clock? Another thing I want to find out is why the term "gasoline launch" is applied so commonly to boats that never consume a drop of gasoline nor are yet launches. Tell me that Mr.

Nautical Editor. Did you ever feed a drop of gasoline to your "gasoline" motor? No sir. Yours for the truth. STANTON M. SMITH.

Our valued correspondent evidently belong to that class of unterrified individuals who do not know when they are "licked." The refreshing way in which he denies the authority of Webster's and the Standard Dictionaries is much the same as if a kernal of wheat should deny the existence of the grindstones between which it was being pulverized. As for "eight bells," none but bloody salt-water buccaneers reckon time by "bells." All that landsmen such as The Post talks to ned to know about "eight bells" If they should chance to be on the sea. Is that when this number of tintinnabulations strikes sweetly on the ear, it is considered a good "o'clock" to take a drink. The discussion as to what is gaso line and what is naphtha Is consid erably older than Anne and will proba bly be more infirm than Anne's grand mother before It finally cashes In The reason why some boats are called "gasoline launches." Is probably the same as why some other boats are called "whalebacks," or why a cer tain vessel of Milwaukee's pride 13 called a "schooner." One encounters anomalous reefs like this all along the course of life, but there is no need of shipwrecking himself upon them merely, for the dear sake of truth. MINISTERS OUGHT TO STRIKE.

The fact brought out at the recent conference of the Methodist church that the average salary paid to ministers in the conference is something like $700 to $S0O, must be considerable of a discouragement to young men to enter the ministry. It is true that a large proportion of the ministers of the conference are located In small towns or villages, where it must be possible to live decently upon niucli less money than is required in larger towns or cites, and where the minister is likely to be made the subject of "donations" of various kinds as he makes his weekly calls, which may go some distance. In, -keeping the larder supplied with potatoes, turnips, and an occasional shoulder of mutton. The present time is not however one which is suited to make a young man of parts look forward to the pros pect of a life of labor even in the divine vineyard with nothing better In view than a $700 to $S00 salary, to say nothing of providing necessaries for a wife so long as they both shall live, and the usual pledges of their affection. It is possible that some young men might feel themselves called to the ministry with the prospect before them of never knowing where the next meal was coming from, but it is probable that such devotion to duty is quite rare, and that on the whole a young man will feel justified in demanding before he enters the work that the hire is worthy of the laborer.

It would seem therefore a3 though the church were facing a problem that has already been faced almost everywhere else pay more, or put up with inferior service. A SORRY PROSPECT AHEAD. The Milwaukee News calls the duty on print paper "legalized loot." Without stopping to call in question the appropriateness of this cunning-sounding alliterative phrase, it may be Interesting to publishers to know there Is every prospect that It will be but a few years before print paper will cost double what It does today, and the tariff won't have a blooming thing to do about It. It will all come about simply through the exhaustion of the pulp wood and the inability of chemists so far to find any other fibre to take its place at less than double the present cost of ground wood. Even if the tariff were removed and the Industry lost to the United States, It would take several years to build mills In Canada that would be able to take care of the American market, and.

meanwhile the prices would have gotten up so high as to accomplish the boarding up of many of the newspaper shops. The only salvation of the newspapers is to do as every other manufacturer has done, not to mention the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker, ask a higher price for their product. THE MENASHA CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT. The work which the war department officials have been doing in widening tlie channel leading into the river from lake Winnebago at Mena-Bha Is now finished. One of the government dredges was at work there for a month or more.

The dredge commenced work at the lower end of the easterly dredge-bant and pro country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will at tack the vital catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a 'proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr.

Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability-to hold urine and. scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night.

EW SCHOOL FOR FARMERS NEW INSTITUTION AT WINNE-CONNE IS NEARLY READY TO BE DEDICATED. School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy Will Be One of the Best in This Part of the State. Appleton, Friday, Oct. 11. The new school oi agriculture and domestic economy at Winneconne Winnebago- county, will soon be dedi cated.

Following is a part of the literature being sent out by the man agement, which is of general interest to those interested in agricultural and domestic economy work: What the School Will Do. The Winnebago County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy will undertake three lines of work, viz: I. Academic work as outlined in the courses of study. II. Experimental work similar to that done by the State Experimental Station, but adapted to the special needs of the county.

III. Extension work for the farmers throughout the county. The first two lines of work will be taken up at the school and need not be further detailed here. The extension work will be done free for the farmers of the county either at the school or at their homes, as necessity may require. The following outline will indicate its character: Free Extension Work for Farmers.

1. Milk and cream will be tested for butter fat. 2. Milk will be tested for Impuri ties by the Wisconsin Curd Test. 3.

Butter will be tested for mois ture for factory owners. 4. Seeds will be examined for purity and tested for germinating powers. 5. Soil will be Inoculated with bacteria for the purpose of enriching it.

6. Lawns will be planned and deco rated with shrubbery at actual cost of the material. 7. Farm buildings will be planned when desired. 8.

Plans for buildings, working drawings and blue-prints will be fur nished free. y. property will be sur veyed or measured. 10. Drainage systems will be plan ned and surveyed.

The wireless telephone Is just as practicable as the wireless tele graph, and in fact is now used in an experimental way, so that the pleas ant prospect may justly be indulged In of the coming of a glad day sometime when monopolies resulting from the vast cost of electric equipment may be done away, when the city streets and country roads shall cease to be dis figured by poles and conductors, when it may not be necessary to boil all the sense out of a telegram in order to suit the cost to one's pocketbook, and when 25 cents shall pay for more spoken words than "Hello" and "Goodbye." THE PRICE OF A "SHINE." It is said that in Chicago the street price of a "shine" (the kind on the shoes) has been reduced from 10 cents to 5 cents, the reform being due to the ability and enterprise of a certain young Greek, who landed a few years ago in the Windy city with three cents' in his pocket, and straightway 'proceeded to make his fortune. As a result he now has an unlimited numDer or otner young Greeks working for him shining shoes at 5 cents, while he devotes himself to the entrancements of autoing, all of which goes to show how brains, in this case by hiring cheap Greek labor and underselling competitors, is able to not only reward itself handsomely but at the same time accomplish a great public reform For in very truth it seems to men outside the profession as though 10 cents were too much to pay for a shine The amount of time and raw material expended would not seem to warrant such a price, and there is almost always a feeling of grudglngness associated with paying It, while, on the other hand a man would cheerfully give up, 5 cents, and would un doubtedly give it up more than twice as often, so that the net income of the shfner would be increased rather than diminished on account of the more comfortable mental attitude of the shinee.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Rev. Henry Faville of La Crosse preached a sermon the other Sunday on the things he liked about the Catho lic church. Among other things he liked about it were: the sanctity it puts upon the marriage tie and the check which it puts upon divorce; the reverence which it inculcates for houses of worship; its absolute democracy of principle, treating all members alike irrespective of caste, wealth or other conditions; the interest it takes and work it "does in the found ing and support of hospitals and orphan asylums. Protestants do not always stop to think of these things, and in this day and age, when every body is asking for "results," and when the measurement of men and things is more and more coming to be taken according to the rule "by their fruits "ye shall know them," it would seem as though the Catholic church was an exemplar of practical Chris tianity that Protestant churches might do well to take some suggest tions from.

WILL WILLIAM DECLINE? William Jennings Bryan Is to make an address in Washington next month at the George university, and, in accepting the invitation so to do, Bryan said that he would make an "important announcement" on that occasion. The democrats of Washington and places further south where the name of Bryan has ceased to have the silvery sound that erstwhile distinguished it, in fact where it is beginning to be hoped that it may come ere long to be wholly disassociated with any idea of the presidency of these United States, are now engaged in wondering whether the announcement, when it comes will be as "welcome" as it is "important." THE POOR PAPER UFACTURER. Where'd Ye Hear That, Newsy? It appears that the paper manufacturers are firmly convinced that it's the duty of the newspaper publishers to pay the tariff loot, pass It along to he public and keep still. Milwaukee News. And Bear Stories Are Coming, Too! Those who are kicking about the higher price of paper should remember that Roosevelt has probably increased the demand for It.

And yet, we should say, that it is quite as important that the pub lishing industry shall not be crippled and destroyed as It Is that the paper manufacturers shall be permitted to exact their tariff loot. Milwaukee News. They Also Demanded the Busting of the General Paper But Prices Were Higher After the "BusL" Not only are American steel rails sold more cheaply in Europe than in our own tariff-ridden republic but It now develops that print paper takes the same course. A duty of $6 a ton on paper out the foreign product effectively yet affords Yankee PLAYING WITH FIRE. The Milwaukee Sentinel and the Milwaukee Wisconsin are having a little argument over the "asset currency" plan which came up at the bankers' association meeting at Atlantic City.

The Wisconsin is inclined to think that the resolution committing the association to the endorsement of the plan was rushed through when but few members of the association were present, and that the plan really does not represent the belief of the majority of the members of the association. The Sentinel on the other hand believes that there is no evidence that the association's endorsement of the idea was accomplished by conspiracy or sharp practice, and that until bankers are heard from generally in repudiation of it, it must be assumed that it voices their convictions. This column has no desire to "butt in" to the discussion that its esteemed contemporaries are now carrying on. Moreover the subject of money is one that is very much InVolved and taxes the mental powers of very learned men who have given their lives to considering it. This column does not pretend to know whether or not the endorsement of the plan by the bankers was the result 6f a conspiracy, but it would like to say just a few words about the plan and try to point out in an easily under stood way what it proposes and then leave the question to its readers as to whether or not a great convention of men supposed as a class to be the most intelligent and conservative in any kind of business in the country, would be likely to favor it by almost unanimous vote, It should be borne in mind always that what is wanted and sought to be obtained by any emergency currency is an "elastic" cur rency, that is to say, a cur rency that will expand in times of stringency and contract in times of money-plenty in a practically automatic manner.

When money is very "tight" and bankers are disposed not to renew loans or to give additional accommodation which customers might expect and count upon getting at ordinary times, so that there is great hardship and perhaps danger of failures and possible panic, it would be a fine thing to be able to draw upon some outside and wholly separate reservoir of money while the great need lasted, and the peo ple who drew on it would be willing to pay high rates of interest for the privilege of doing so, their intention of course being as soon as money was easier to stop paying the high rate and return the money to the reservoir, replacing it by money from the usual sources at lower rates of interest. Now of course everybody knows real money cannot be made by a printing press. Real money represents work that has actu ally been done, or crops, lumber or minerals that have come from the earth. Any other kind of money is of the "wild-cat" kind, with which this country in past times has had encounters which it now has no de sire to repeat. Now this extra supply of money in the reservoir would not be exactly (but oh so nearly) "wild-cat" money, but neither would it be real money like that ordinarily in circulation.

The reason for this will be given further on. So it will be apparent that while it might serve the purpose of real money for a while, during a time of great stress, it would be desirable to retire it and get it out of the way again just as soon as possible after the urgent need for more money was past. This would of course be accomplished by charging a high interest rate for it. "Easy" money and "wildcat" money are great stimulators of speculation and the people rush in and gamble deliriously until the bub ble of inflation has got so big as to have no further cohesion, when it bursts and wide-spread ruin overtakes not only the speculators themselves but all their countrymen as well. Any money therefore with which this country might have to do ought to be made available only for a comparatively short time and very high rates of interest, otherwise it would amount to a permanent infla tion of the regular money supply.

Now what does the asset plan pro pose? What kind of money does it seek to put into the reservoir and does it make the tax high enough, so that it will only be taken out of the reservoir In times of greatest need and will promptly be returned to the reservoir when the need has past? This is what it proposes: To permit the national banks to issue additional circulation to the amount of forty per cent of their present bond circulation, to be available immediately, at a tax of per cent per annum, and after this is gone to permit them to issue another lot of notes amounting to 12 per cent of their capital stock, at a tax of 5 per cent, per annum. With regular interest rates ruling as they are now ruling at anywhere between 5 per cent and 7 per cent or 8 per cent, does any man In his senses believe there would be any reservoir idea about such a plan? If the banks could issue more notes to the amount of forty per cent of their present bond circulation, pay- i ing only 2 per cent interest on them and immediately reloan the money tne transaction Demg irora 2 per cent to 5 per cent. Does any man in his senses believe that the banks would not immediately reloan this new money and that it would not be received by the market with open arms and promptly put to work in the speculative ventures which are now being curtailed (to the ultimate greatly increased business healthfulness of the country), because money cannot be found to carry them forward The total bond circulation of the banks of this country is about $560,000,000, and forty per cent of this would amount to about 000, which (less 15 per cent reserve and 5 per cent guarantee fund) would immediately be available to help on the excesses of speculation. This money while not absolutely "wild-cat," as it would have some semblance of security behind it, would be as close to it as any different breed of cats could be without being the simon pure "wild-cat." The security behind it would be the good names of the banks and only a 5 per Cent guarantee fund "from which to redeem the notes of defaulting banks." Does any man in his senses believe that this 000 (less 15 per cent reserve and per cent guarantee fund) would not be inflation of the most bubbly kind? But when this $225,000,000 (less reserves) that is obtainable at 2 per cent is exhausted, then what? The market having gobbled this up and being eager for more, where is it to be had? Perfectly easy! The asset currency plan provides for it and to an amount beyond the dreams of avarice! After the 40-percent-of- the-bond-circulation money Is gone then, according to the plan, a further amount equal to 12 per cent of the capital stocks of the banks shall be available at 5 per cent interest per annum. The total capital of the national banks of the country is few paltry millions less than $900,000,000, so that In pursuance of the asset currency plan an additional $112,000,000 would be avail able on top of the $225,000,000, the security being no more and no better for the last lot than the first.

Must not any man in his senses tremble at the prospect of the banks having it in their power to provide themselves with sujch vast amounts of new money at such ridiculously low "tax" or interest charge? If the first issue were proposed to be made at 5 per cent instead of 2 per cent tax and further issues at much higher rates it would not be so bad, although plenty bad enough, but the result upon the country of putting out such vast issues of (by courtesy semi-) "wild cat" money at such easy rates is something that may well be left to the reader's imagination. The Lusitania does not appear to be so lusty as the Mauretania, which is credited on her trial trip with, doing something better than 28 knots or about 32 miles an hour. This is between two and three knots an hour better than the Lusitania was able to do on her trial trip. The Mauretania ought to make her maiden voyage to New YOrk in well under five days. If Lussie doesn't hump herself and do it first she won't be in it with her big sister.

It was a year ago today that the first autumn frost of 1906 came. It will be remembered that September was very warm, in fact the first two weeks of the month were warmer than any of the previous months of summer. Then came two weeks of cool er ana ratner rainy weatner. ine first part of October also was fine and warm, but about the seventh or eighth a big storm came along, followed by the veering of the wind into the northwest, just as it has done; again, and on the ninth came the first frost of the season, and a killing one. This season there have been frosts before, but the one of Monday night was most severe, the temperature going below 30 degrees and vegetation be ing frozen stiff in the morning.

ft is believed that one of the changes and improvements that will be made as a result of the failure of the Neenah-Oshkosh. interurban and the necessity for its rehabilita tion, "will be the taking up of the tracks from the "ridge road" where they run at present and their trans ference to the "lake road" between the two places. It is acknowledged on all hands that a mistake was made originally in locating the road and that the thoroughfare along the lake would have been much to be preferred from every point of view. There is practically no sumaner pleasure business whatever on the road at present, while if the road ran along the lake shore there would be a large amount of it. The summer cottage life along the lake would also be greatly stimulated and much business originated thereby for the road.

There has been little or no development along the present line of the road that can be credited to the presence of the road itself, and it is certain that the proposed change of route would be a tremendous help to the road's treasury. There is talk also that the road may be extended from Omro to Berlin, and possibly a branch built to Winneconne. ow if the channel perfectly easy to find and safe to navigate on dark nights, and that Is to put down a post at the lower end of the channel and hang out a small lantern to act as a range light in connection with the regular lighthouse at the upper end. Such a lantern would be sufficient as the government has just installed above Oshkosh where the Fox river empties into lake Buttes des Morts. In this case the lantern could be attended to by the man who tends the regular lighthouse lantern, at little or no extra expense.

It is very much to be hoped that after going to so much expense and labor in widening the channel the department officials will be willing to go the very small step further that the installing of this lantern would amount to, thereby removing the last objection to this passage, and converting a very dangerous channel into a perfectly easy and safe thoroughfare. CREOSOTED BLOCK PAVEMENT. On account of the fact that the city is now laying both brick and creosoted wooden block pavements for the purpose of being able to compare their durability and desireable-ness generally as time goes on, it is well to await the result of this test of time, and not prejudge the case now. While the laying of the creo soted blocks has been going on however a good many people have been heard to make disparaging remarks about them, in comparison with the bricks, and it may therefore be no more than fair to say something about the way the blocks are prepared and the results that other cities throughout America and Europe are having with them, by way of defense. Appleton's experience with the cedar block paving has not been such as to particularly commend any wooden blocks to the affections of our cifi zens.

There is however a vast difference between cedar blocks and the creosoted blocks. It was the experi ence of this city that the cedar blocks soon rotted. The cedar was soft and absorbed water, and wore away and rotted away very rapidly. It is well known that what rots wood most is constant wetting and drying. If wood is kept always dry or always under water it rots very slowly or not at all.

Even If wood that is not perfectly dry or free of its own sap be coated with a composition that will keep out water, It will still rot from within on account of the action of the mois ture that was there in the first place. It would seem- therefore that the way to do to prevent vood from rot ting would be to extract all the original moisture from it and then per mit no moisture to get into it after wards. And this is exactly what is done in the preparation of the creosoted blocks. The blocks are made of a harder wood than cedar, usually some kind of pine, and in the first place they are kiln-dried to remove any sap or moisture they may have in them, and then they are subjected to a treatment that forces a heavy ereosot- ing oil through all the pores of the wood, taking the place whatever moisture originally existed there, and residine there so that moisture is denied entrance ever af ter. It would seem as though this process ought to make a durable ma terial, and as a matter of fact that is what it is found to be.

The creo soted block pavement is not a new pavement, but has been down in some cities already for more than twenty years, and has proven itself to streets having the heaviest traffic as well as residence avenues, where its noiselessness, dustlessness and sanitary features particularly recom mend it. The city of Paris has an Immense area of its streets paved with It, and as ex-Mayor Peter Thorn ascertained last year New York city is putting it down In preference to any other pavement and that too on the streets that get heaviest wear. People who know the most about the creosoted block pavement are certain that Appleton will be- highly pleased with it in every respect for twenty to thirty years to come. THE TELEGRAPH, WITHOUT MON OPOLY AND EXTORTION. Something happened In Milwaukee Tuesday that is little less than epoch- making.

It was the beginning of regular commercial wireless telegraph service between that city and Chicago. While It might be Interesting to describe the instruments used and the way the transmission is accomplished, for present purposes it is sufficient to consider that the service is established without wires without poles and without franchises." This 13 certain ly "without" the three highest "mata-dores" of the telegraph business as the Milwaukee skat enthusiast would say, and li tne tuture demonstrates that the game can be played that way It will be deserving of the characterization at the beginning of this paragraph. Moreover, and this is very WELL KNOWN MAIL MAN QUITS THE SERVICE HERE Walter W. Davis Has Tendered His Resignation and Will Probably Move West With Family Appleton, Thursday, Oct. 10.

The man carried a card bearing the name of the T. Hohenadel Company of Rochelle, 111., and the number 172, and It was through this that his identitj was learned. The coroner at first communicated with the Wisconsin headquarters of the company at Janes-ville, but found nothing there that would lead to the identification of the drowned man. Later he communicated with the company direct at Rochelle and learned the fellow's name to be Louis Allen. Other information concerning the man Is that he was paid off at Rochelle on September 20, and since that time he has not been seen there.

No trace of his relatives has as yet been found.
