Washington "Star."-A strike is no
sign Of an absence of prosperity. There
are few Injuries more expensive.
KilbOurn Mirror Gazette "Stal-
warts" are said to be organizing for the
next state political campaign. Well,
what else can they do? They have been
''read out of the party" and are up against
the most powerful political machine this
state ever saw-and that machine is in
Offices, too.
Marinette Eagle:-The failure of the
Chiffon State bank and the bad state in
which the creditors will be left is abund-
ant proof that the state legislature did
the right thing last winter i'll eesting
the state bank examiner with additional
powers and supervision over the banks
in the state.
Sentinel:-Wherever primary elections
have been held by direct vote OF the
people there has been a wide discrepancy
between the promises of the refOrmers
who have secured such legislation and
the practical workers of the law in opera
ton. The experience of other states
with primary election reform" continues
| to strengthen the satisfaction OF the
| people of Wisconsin over the defeat OF
the Stevens primary election bill at
the last session of the legislature.
The Waukesha Fireman. Usher
says that "the Republicans Of Wisconsin
need Senator SpoOner more than he needs
| them," and Ellis never made more
accurate statement in his long years of
| writing 1t is the exact truth and the
reasons why it is true, are that
John c. Spooner has more OF the qualities
Of first-class statesman than any other
man who resides in Wisconsin; he can dc
more to advance the state, and more to
advance the party than any one else.
Chicago Record-Herald:- The total out
put of beet sugar can be absorbed SO
quicklyAin three or four months this
year-that the sugar trust and other cane
sugar refnars would lose more by fight
ing it than they do by giving it its head
A few more years, with other states in
the sugar belt taking the cue from Mich
| igan, and with Chicago becoming the
sugar market of the continent may bring
another story. In Michigan alone, within
| three years, the investment in factories
has been $6,0OO00O and in the the whole
country about $22,0O0,OOO. The total
acreage given to beet sugar raising this
year is about 100000 more than 30C
square miles. The farmer with the right
kind of soil is finding that he makes a
net profit of about $25 an acre on his
small garden spots, beginners seldom
! putting in more than two or three acres
Yale Record:-Baseball Reporting
heater article Of the National had never
been put UP on the home grounds, and
when the visitors picked up the stick in the
final with the tally standing 22, every
| body, from the oldest fan to the youngest
paper-seller, was standing on his seat
| and yelling to the local slab artist to
serve up his choicest assortment of round
house benders,' and keep whatever guy
was handling the ash piyoting at delui-
SlOns. The tWlrler was up to the bust
ness, and laid 'em over so fast that the
receiving end of the battery, who wears
the bird-eage and liver-pad, looked as if
| he were Smelling peas. The first two
victims only tore rents in the atmosphere,
| but the third guy connected, and laid off
a flaming eraser which would have
made a prOjectile from a 13-inch gun
| look like bean-bag tossed from one
baby to another. The man ON the diff
cult corner was right there though. and
tagged the horse-hide pill with his
sinister talon, assisting it over to the mi
tial hassock in such short order that
some one yelled derisively: "That
fellow runs like an Orange street automo-
bubble" The home aggregation came
to the bat. Everyone was confident that
they were going to pound the sphere
around the lot, but the opposing team
ran in new guy with slow south wing,
and before they were onto the fact that
they were not putting the willow onto
the yarn as they had expected there were
two men down and two strikes on the
next guy. But, oh, Phoebe! on the next
delivery became the father of a bouncing
swat which landed in the last row Of D.
tatoes in the outer garden and enabled
him to press down three buttons and
scratch the rubber. did the crowd go
wild? Say, did you ever see a game of
balI?"
