Steam Nayipations.

1t seems a proper occasion for
''lettin the eagle scream" when we
realize that steam navigate on had its
origin in America, and that the first
steps in nearly all extensions and
improvements have been taken by
men of the new world. Rorbert Full
ton made the first trip ever under
taken by steamboat, in his "Cler-
mont" from New York to Albany,
in August, 1907 The first sea voyage
ever made by steam vessel was
when the 'Phenix'' went from
HobOken to Philadelphia, in 1903.
The first steamboat for use on West
ern rivers, was built az Pittsburg, in
1911, and the first steam ferry was
established in 1913 between New York
and Brooklyn The first steam boat
was placed on Lake Erie in 1918, and
in 1920 the waters of Lake Michigan
were first agitated by the paddles of a
steamer. The first vessel to cross the
Atlantic propelled by steam was the
Liverpool for New York in the latter
part of June 1919, though the voyage,
owing TO a break in the machinery,
was finished under sail. In 1887,
Captain John Erickson applied the
screw propeller successfully to steam
vessels. In 1859 the English govern
ment desired to substitute steam for
sailing vessels in the mail service to
America, and applied to Samuel Gun
ard, merchant born in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, to start the enterprise,
which he did by sending out the
.'Brittana" from Liverpool ON July A,
1910. She arrived at New York July
| 10, two weeks voyage. The trip is
now made by steamers of most lines
in five days. Jn railroad building and
equipment Americans have likewise
been the leaders of the world. The
proof is easy, by pointing to such a
system as the great Burlington Route,
| with its seven thousand miles of road,
with luxurious fast trains, reaching
| all principal points in ten states. For
tickets over this line, apply to your
home agent, or for more particular
information write to w. j. G. Kenyon,
Gen Pass. Agent, st. Paul, Mimi.

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.

The weather has been decidedly un-
favorable for growing crops. Nc
rain except very light showers in
eastern sections on the 2Sth with
temperatures ranging from 80 to 102
degrees. These conditions are causing
great damage to corn and potatoes,
especially in the northern and west
ern portions, where these products
will be partial, and in some counties a
total failure, unless rain soon comes.
In the eastern counties corn is still ia
fair condition, but even in that favor
ed section the crop is greatly in need
of rain.
Potatoes are suffering severely in all
sections, and in some the crop will be
failure, being toe far gone to be
benefited by rain. The outlook for
this staple is not encouraging.
Small grain is about all harvested.
Wheat, rye and barley were secured
in excellent condition and a good
yield is generally reported. Oats are
light having been ripened too rapidly,
though some fields in favored localities
are turning out good crop.
Tobacco is doing well except the
late planted which will be a partial
failure.
Cranberries are suffering from
drout and hot sun. Extensive forest
fires occurred in the north central
portion of the state causing great
destruction of property, including
the city of Phillips where 13 lives were
lost. The fires have also burned
many cranberries and hay marshes in
Portage, Clark and Wood counties,
where great amount of hay is de-
stroyed.
The average amount of rain which
should fall during the past week is
about go of an inch. The actual fall
at the following stations will enable
comparisons to be made: Milwaukee
OF, Westfield %, Juneau .26, Depere
10, Amherst 10, Royalton .02,
Viroqua 81, Delavan %, Iron River
so, Stockbridge 40, La Crosse OF.

WISCONSIN, THURSDAY,

an unfortunate fact that no nomina-
tion of Mr.. Haugen aroused fierce
opposition among prominent Repub-
licans, not on account of any feeling
against him but against his promi-
nent supporters. The entire Sawyer,
Spooner, Taylor element was against
him and made bitter opposition as
they felt that it was fight for a
change in the leadership of the party
in this state. While the nomination
Of Major Upham was not in their in
terest they felt perhaps safer there
than under the banner of Mr.. La Fol-
lett, the principal supporter of Mr..
Haugen, and the nomination of Mr..
Haugen at this time would have
aroused an opposition that would have
made itself felt in the campaign,
however unjust it might have been.
We regret the facts, we wanted Mr..
Haugen as our candidate, but he hay
ing failed the JOURNAL gives its cor
dial support to Major Upham in full
confidence that he viii prove an able
leader and bring victory in November
TO the Republican banner.
As The interest mainly lay with the
nomination of governor the conven-
tion presented few items of interest
after this nomination had been made.
Our readers will be glad to know that
j. Q. Emery, late President of our
Normal School, was nominated on the
first ballot by rousing majority
They will also DE glad to know that a
warm friend of Mr.. Haugen, Sewall
A. Peterson of Barron county, was
nominated for the office of State
Treasurer and that the friends of Mr..
Haugen stood by the latter to the
last, he receiving his largest vote on
the last ballot.

Mr.. Justice Brewer of the United

Some people think that it will ami

in the end, make labor organizations
stronger. They will see the necessity
of placing at their head strong, COO
and clear-headed men like Arthur OF
the locomotive engineers and discard
enthusiasts of the Debs order. With
such men at their head they will be
much more powerful and much trouble
will be avoided.

Some Signs of the Times.

| When the Pharisees and the Sad
duces came to our Lord demanding
"sign," He repulsed them saying,
"Ye know now to discern the face of
heaven; but ye cannot discern the
sign of the times.n Unfortunately
this blindness to the "sign of the
times" did not cease with the
Pharisees and Sadduces of Christ's
day. Through all succeeding ages,
it has been the fatal defect which
has hindered, sometimes defeated,
every forward movement of human
ity. While in its worst form it has
continued to affect peculiarly the
"Pharisees and Sadduces" of each
generation, those whose selfish in
terests are most closely bound up in
the existing condition, and who
have the most to lose and least to
gain by radical innovations, it has
more or less pervaded all classes of
society and has made the path of
the former thorny one. 1t is
therefore one of the most hopeful
signs of the present times that many
of the most delightful and intelligent
Christian men are turning their
attention away from issues which
have been dead and buried for
centuries, to the living questions of
to-day, and are proceeding in a
rational manner to investigate
present evils with view to finding
adequate remedies. The social dis
turbances of the last quarter of a
century, the growing hostility be-
tween capital and labor, the financial
earthquake of last summer, whose
vibrations have not yet ceased, have
caused widespread and hopeful
alarm; hopeful because it is not the
wild panic of cowardice, but the
reasonable fear of brave men and
women who know how to look real
danger squarely in the face and
wisely prepare to meet it.
