pledge OF President Mckinley to visit
Miiwankee next October. oil The &C.

attention to the continued influence Of
this veteran Wisconsin man Of affairs
and politician, despite the efforts az
many 10 throw him down.
The opinions Of such men are always
- value by reason Of their experience
ana wide outlook. In response 10 my
query as to the likelihood Of an extra
session, Mr.. Payne said:
II Is very much to be desired tbat
matters of serious import to the vel
Iare OF the country. and which REQUIRE
legislation ny congress, should be dis
posed Of before the opening Of the presi-
Genital campaign. For this reason
iaVor an extra session of congress ~
the early fall. so that Legislation DE-
SIRED on the lines indicated NAV he
enacted before the opening Of the cam

the effect Of such legislation by actual
experience, rather than TO have the
hnanciai issue and the question Of thu
administration of the Philippines open
Tor discussion during the excitement
OF presidential campaign without the
pohcy OF the administration being
clearly defined and formulated into law
Congress Unites on Financial Bill.
AS to the financial issue. / believe
the party, represented in both houses
or congress, recognizes the obligation
y iegislate along the lines OF our
pledges made at st. I4ouis and the rec
concentrations made by the president
ana II am correctly informed. the
mouse committee has agreed upon the
terms Of a bill which will fully carry
OUT the pledges made by the party in
lhe last presidential campaign, and there
IS lttle reason to doubt that the senate
committee, which win commence its
sessions te consider the subject next
mons HI, viii unite with the house com
mittee upon the terms of financial
measure which will be enacted into a
law.
We destroyed the government of Spain
In Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands, and responsibility for the main
tenance of order and the establishment
OF q permanent and secure government
IN these islands has devolved upon us
We cannot honorably yield possession
OF them without having accomplished
this result. There may be, and there
undoubtedly is, a difference Of opinion
as to whether it is wise for this country
to retain permanent possession of the
Philippines, but there should be no diff
ference of opinion as to our duty to es-
fabllsh some permanent, stable farm of
government in them, and then decide
what is for the interests of the l1eop.e Of
the islands and for our own people as
we'll
AT the present moment we have MT
the information that would enable us
to act wisely regarding the question OF
the form of government to be estab-
lished in the Philippine islands, but it
Is to be hoped by the time congress can
deal with this subject that the resist :
ance to our forces will have yielded and
that law and order will prevail and that
we can deal with the subject calmly
and dispassionately, with due regard
not only to the rights of our own gov
eminent and people, but to what is best

They Own Eighteen Creameries.
Mr.. Roach of Waterloo, Jefferson
county, who wants to be dairy and food
commissioner, is a member of the
Roach & Seeber Co, made up of two
sets Of brothers who own eighteen cream
cries and control others, and also cheese
factories. These are all in Wisconsin,
They did business of $500, coo last year.
A. j. Roach, the aspirant started by
gathering cream from farmers with a
team. That was in 1881 He began in
the little town of Milford, then moved
to Waterloo as business developed 1t
is the old story of a small beginning
Ten years ago he had two creamaries
and Joined efforts with the Seebers
Now the four men all have handsome
homes in Waterloo and are prosperous
But creameries are only part of their
business. They are equally important
in cold storage. The plant in Water
loo has q capacity of thirty-five car
loads-butter. eggs and cheese. The
plant is operated. not by chemicals,
hut under the Dexter patent-ice and
salt. There is branch plant at Hough-
ton, Mich The ereame les operated by
this big firm are maintained by the
milk supply of from thirty to ninety
six farmers (Footville)
How TO Make Money with Creamery.
Speaking of the creamery business,
Mr. Roach noted the tendency to con-
solidation--the massing of factories un-
der one management. The cooperative
creameries lat are making the best
money, he said, are those that contract
their supply of butter to local jobbers,
as some creameres do to Roach & See
Der Thus the farmers who own the
creamery are freed from worry about
market. The Elgin price rules and the
bitches about shortage and quality that
arise when q factory ships east on its
own hook are avoided Mr.. Roa, gave
the impression in Madison of Icing
well-balanced business man, of pleas
ing address His backing for the posi-
ton is a strong one and If he does not
succeed AR Adams now, he may later.
The time for Teappointioent was four
months back Governor Scofield has
taken no action and the present eondi-
tion of allowing Mr.. Adams to hold on
by reason of no successor being appoint
ed may continue indefinitely.

years ago, but when an infant the
family moved into Jefferson county.
The father was miller and soldier
lieutenant in the Eleventh regiment.
Mr.. Roach gets a auie. satisfaction In
Knowing that he has been able to get
his brothers up In life. One was sher-
iff of Jefferson county two years ago.
Mr.. Roach speaks the German Ian
s.uage, like everyone else in Jefferson
county. but his stock traces back to
English and Mohawk Dutch.
The Facts 4.bout Salt.
Every now and then the Agricultural
school gets out bulletin for the benefit
of the farmers. No. "a has to do with
dairy salt, by Professor Vol, for 1t is
coming to be understood that inferior
salt may explain the mystery Of bad
butter. For instanee, when even per
cent. Of magnesium sulphate is present.
Ii gives a bitter taste. Many interest
ing things appear in the bulletin.
Primitive races live largely on meat
diet and crave little or no salt beyond
what is already present in their food.
but to civilized man, living on mixed
and generally highly varied diet, the
supply of salt to the food Is as essential
as Is water or the food itself. During
the Paraguayan war, 1s64-10, 1t was OBJ
served that the men who had been with
out salt for three months when wound
ed. however slightly, died. as their
wounds would not heal. The United
States uses abou forty-eight pounds
