More Vernon County Bows Wanted.


10 conversation with Prof. Henry, oil
the state agricultural colleges a few days
since, he said to the editor of the CEN
soR that he wanted to have some Vernon
county boys in his school. Young
Thoregaaro and our other boys, who
had taken course, ne declared were
fine students and he wanted more just
like them.
The short course in agriculture will
begin this year, Nov. 29. Many improve.
ments have been made the past year
that will add much to the efficiency Of
the course. A dairy herd has been pur'
chased and tattening stock will soon be
bought, which will be used during the
winter largely for Institutional pur.
poses. The live stock interests of the
state is of such Importance that special
stress will be placed upon that line Of
work, and students will have an oppor.
tunlty to become intelligent feeders an6
breeders of farm animals.
The work in all departments will be
especially interesting and instructive
The college is supported jointly by the
state and the United States, therefore

Mr.. LaFollette can hardly be expected
to come into this campaign, and to do
so now would be of value to nobody
except himself. His silence does no
harm; his speech might. Matters are
working all right for the republican
party without help from any source out
side the solid, loyal ranks.
The squib above quoted is from the
La Crosse Republican Leader. That it
is untimely any sensible, loyal republican
must admit. 1t is direct thrust at
every republican who supported Mr.. La
Toilette and who believes in the just prin-
ciples advocated by him. 1t goes with
out contradiction that the men who
supported Mr.. La Toilette are within
the ''solid, loyal ranks" of the party in
Wisconsin, and it is an insult to them
and the party that wants their support,
this slap from the government pap fed
machine organ of La Crosse.

THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTE

Milwaukee Sentinel: 10 figuring out
success for themselves at the polls, Wis
consin democrats place their chief re
llan.e on the stay at home vote in the
republican party. To overcome the
majority of 100000 rolled up by the
republicans in the election of 1896 they
have no issues that will influence the
voters. In fact, so far as the issues be-
tween the two parties are concerned,
there is no reason why there should not
be just as large preponderance of voters
in the republican ranks as there was two
years ago. II is just as necessary at
the present time to vote the republican
ticket in order to be sure of safe
national government as it was in 1896
The democrats are still standing by the
heresies of the Chicago platform in spite
of the reputation it received at the
hands of the people in the election two
years ago. They are UNFOLDING a bad
cause with zeal that must arouse the
condemnation of as many, if not more,
voters than in 1896. There is a special
stimulus to the opponents of the Chica-
go platform to register again their dis
approval of it by big vote, since the
democrats persist in reiterating their
devotion to it.
1t is quite likely that republicans and
gold democrats will feel it their duty to
turn out in full force in order to bury
the Chicago platform so deep that it
cannot be dug up again. But aside
from this incentive for going to the
polls, the Disconnected republicans
would get precious little satisfaction by
staying at home and thereby allowing
the democratic state ticket to be elected
\ republicans in the state, however
much they may be displeased with any
of the candidates on the republican
ti,ket, can improve conditions by help
irg elect the democratic ticket, even by
the indirect method of staying away
from bhe polls. We dol not believe there
will bsa large republican stay at home
vote, as the democrats predict, for the
very good reason that Wisconsin repub
licans have had too recent an experience
with democratic state administration
to return to that condition Of affairs.

pRoaaEss or PEACE COMMISSION.

The sixth joint session Of the peace
commissioners held session on Mon
day last and adjourned until Tuesday
morning. The commissioners were oc-
cupied with the consideration of the
Spanish presentation at the previous
meeting, relating to Cuba and the debt
of the island, and it can now be stated
with positive assurance that the Span
iards will not fail to understand the de-
termination of the United States not to
assume part or the whole of the So
called Cuban debt OF $500, 100000.
The commissioners have not yet
reached the subject Of the Philippines,
but are still engaged, not exactly with
the Cuban debt, but rather With an
effort on the part of the Spanish COM
missioners to get that subject before
the joint committee and on that of ours
to entirely exclude it as not proper for
QISCuS5IOQ. WILL ub QOuJO buC AIiObiOh
between the two sides has become more
pronounced within the past few days,
but this is attributed to mistaken ideas
existing on the part of Spanish public
men regarding the sentiment in the
United States, and the probable results
of the varying political struggles here.
Under these erroneous Impressions, the
Spanish commissioners have persisted
up to what are believed to be the powers
of endurance of their American col
leagues upon their effort to secure, by
some means, an arrangement for the
assumption OF the Cuban debt by this
country, or, at least, to relieve Spain
from that heavy obligation. Thus the
commi ssion has been retarded in it's real
work.

To catch the ca # bound freight.

Goes rushing smoothly by.

Answers as she weeps-
Baby is not left alone
Baby only sleeps"
