The action of the Ohio Democratic
state convention In refusing to re-
affirm the Kansas City platform of
1900 Is u notice to Hon. William j.
Bryan that Democrats are sincere in
their opposition TO Imperialism, ut
home rs we'll as abroad. Notwith-
ment among Democrats throughout
the country that the silver issue be
dropped, Mr.. Bryan insisted that the
Chicago platform be re-ailirmcd NJ
Kansas City in 1900; otherwise he
would not accept the nomination rs
the Democrat candidate for president,
His personal following was great,
and, to the discredit, and disadvau-
tage, of Democracy, the convention
submitted to his imperial viii. The
expected followed. And only few
weeks ago, Mr.. Bryan, in his paper,
The Commoner, appeared again with
the cry "Let no gold Democrats bc
placed ON guard; keep them out of
county, state and national convcu.
tiousn But the Democracy of today
shows itself wiser than the Democracy
of yesterday. MIR. Bryan's words fall
upon listless ears. The Democrats of
Ohio have returned to sound, consor-
vative, Democratic doctrines, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
dictator or leader, from Nebraska or
anywhere else. Mr.. Bryau's place Is
IA the ranks-a great orator, u good
man; moralist of the highest type;
but u very poor political instructor
and guide, The claim that he was
sustained in the last presidential cam
paign by more than six millions of
voters has no foundation In fact. 1t
was not Organism, but Democracy
in spite of It's defects and errors that
was thus sustained How much great
er should have been the vote against
the Republican party, which had en-
tered upon a policy that seeks to sub
vert the basic principles of our gov
eminent? How much greater would
have been the vote against the Itepub-
lican leaders had Democracy remain

doctrines? Let the delegates to the

Somebody has sent to The Demo
crat Office a. copy OF The Marinette
Argus of July L.. We are glad to re-
ceive The Argus, because it is a good
newspaper, and because we have
kindly feeling for its bright editor,
q. j. Noel, formerly secretary OF the
Democratic state central committee.
But we are at loss to know why this
particular copy has been sent to us.
1t may be because IL contains in its
editorial columns a number OF articles
attacking The Milwaukee Journal and
belittling it's influence. Should this be
so, II would strike us rather against
the grain; and it would take columns
TO tell ali the reasons why. Suffice 1t
TO say that The Journal has been the
chief cause OF nearly all the Demo-
cratic fun there has been In Wiscon-
sin politics during the nineteen years
Of It's existence. Always steadfast for
sound principles, it has been conspic-
uous Ia the few fights crowned with
victory. Even now, in these times of
Democratic adversely, ii has dubbed
rs Populists the dominant faction of
the Republican party; and the name
sticks TO them like very brother,
while Ellis Usher goes out to Kansas,
to look up their pedigree. This, in
itself ought to cover all OF The Jour
nails sins of omission and commission.
But seriously, The Journal, by its
constant and able advocacy of the
fundamental principles of Democracy
Is a tower Of strength to the party.
In this way, and particularly in the
state treasury cases, 1t has been OF
great benefit and behoof TO the state
Of Wisconsin.

We believe more attention should be
paid to our native pasture grasses in
the southwest and that, instead of
blowing and narrowing, buying seed
and planting and often waiting two or
more years for a pasture, we should
give the native grasses chance. We
know of cases where n thorough scarf
fication of the soil in February has
without any other effort doubled the
crop of grass. The fact that the native
grasses have taken and held possession
against all Corners shows that they are
adapted to the conditions. which may
or may not be the case with other
grasses. Disking and cross disking are
about the thing needed TO give these
grasses a new lease of life, and in
many cases ii is necessary TO their
preservation. Those who try this proc
ess, we believe, will be surprised at
the vigor of the new growth that will
spring up after this treatment and aft
er the first warm spring rains.-Texas

CASSAVA FED BEEF.
Successful Experiments In stock
Raising In Florida.

The bulletin just issued by the Flori-
da experiment station, written by Pro-
lessor Stockbridge, describing his ex-
periments in feeding native steers on
Florida feed stuffs, is replete with in
terest and instruction. 1t is evident.
SAYS the Jacksonville Times Uniou-
that the butcher has about reached
the end of his rope for new cattle
ranges. There are no more worlds TO
conquer. and mankind has come to a
point where a more intensive cattle
breeding system must be pursued and
better results achieved out of what
ranges we have. .-.=r "x
Florida has millions of acres which
are not naturally very well adapted to
stock growing They are thin and
sandy and produce spare and rather
jejune crop of forage The cassava
plant comes IN here with peculiar APP
propriateness and value because ii pro-
duces its feed crop underground and
not above the surface, where 1t would
be subject to the same unfavorable in
fiuences which affect the grasses. Cas-
sava not only does it's work under
ground, but it delights in sandy soil,
provided a fair degree of fertility is
supplied. These millions of thirsty,
sandy acres can, by the judicious use
of this plant, be made to produce feed
that will fatten a beef or more to the
acre, where the native forage or even
cultivated grasses would not sustain q
beef on ten acres.
The cassava plant is practically a re-
serve granary; its tubers can be dug
and fed out any Gay of the year. 1t is
perennial, though dying down In oyE
climate and coming afreSh from the
roots each spring, but the roots live on.
like the Texas mesquite, and grow
from year to year. Thus they can be
drawn in midwinter or In midsummer
and the stump or the canes returned to
the ground as a seed foundation for an
other crop. 1t would probably not
prove profitable to dig and replant in
midsummer, but it has been done sue
cessfully at Lake Mary. Another pleas
ing circumstance brought out by Pro-
fessor Stockbridge's experiment was
cassava develops a juicy, tender beef,
which is much relished. The market
goerS of Lake City, without knowledge
of its character, selected the cassava
fed steaks and roasts in preference to
the drier and fatter grain fed cuts. 1t

lence and a toothsOmeness that make
it the delight of gourmets all over the
world. Our lighter sandy lands are
not particularly well adapted to the
production of corn, but when planted
in cassava an acre will yield with the
same cultivation, an amount of bread
stuff nearly, if not quite, equal to an
acre of corn in Kentucky in feeding

Enthusiastic cassava advocates place

Increase In Lamb Feeding.

II. A. Crafts of Colorado, writing in
The American Agriculturist, says:
Lamb feeding for the Chicago and 9TH
er markets has now become one of the
established industries of Colorado.
Last year not less than 100000 head
were fed in the state, and it is predict
ed by those we'll able to Judge that
during the current season million
head will be fed. Last year was an
exceedingly profitable one for the feed
erS, even though they were obliged
to pay high for their lambs. This
year, in consequence of a large lamb
crop and a severe drought throughout
the grazing sections, the price of lambs
is lower. Hitherto three fourthS of the
lambs fed were southern lambs, but
this year the order is reversed. Feed
Crs find they eau make fully as much
money from larger bodied and longer
wooded lamb as from the Merinos OF
New Mexico. Northern lambs are be-
ing bought at Rawlins, wy, at $3.50
per 100 pounds. and the lambs weigh
from 50 to 60 pounds each. New Mex
leans are being offered at $40 per
head, with the freight paid to the Mis-
souri, river.
Larimer county, which is the banner
lamb feeding county in the state, will
this season feed about 100000 head.
The conditions are very favorable. AS
has already been mentioned the buy
ing price is lower. Corn, which enters
largely into the feeding of lambs, is
much higher than in previous years.
1t has been laid down at northern
Colorado points as low as 45 cents per
100 pounds, but this year the feeders
think themselves lucky to contract it
at 10 cents.

We hear and read much these days

provemcnt IN the moral tone of the
press In recent years. A paper was

In which the writer set forth in the
strongest possible terms the obliga-
tions of the press to use its great in
nucnce for the furtherance OF morali-
ty, He took positive grounds
against social customs that arc
wrong In themselves and cannot fail
to be demoralizing. He said:

How can you expect boys to come out
Of such homes and not be gamblers?
II the press cannot correct this evil, 1t
can AT least abate 1t by not giving
publicity to it,"
The obligation OF the press to de-
mand of men for public positions,
high moral character aud earnestness
of purpose was touched up as follows:
"ln our political life we should not
advocate any man for high official

would have been surprising If such
had not been the case, The press Us
n whole stands committed to the de-
Tense OF the great moral principles
underlying our social structure. The

Never mind about the Kansas City
platform. Democrats are rid Of that
already; but If all signs do not fail,
Republicans not only of Wisconsin
but throughout the country in general
will have TO rid the party Of influences

been felt. Compared with the ques-
lions of Imperialism and trust breed

are nowhere. The explosion in the
