The half breed press have been
calling the stalwarts Or old time
Republicans, "bolters. :" The def
milton of bolter in Webster's is
"a man who breaks away from
his party" We fail to see how
the term applies to a stalwart
anymore than to a half-breed Or
a Democrat. Do not give any
one that name until he does bolt.
A man certainly has a right to
work and vote for whom he
pleases before the nomination
If, after the nomination, he
should refuse to support the
nominee or regular candidates,
then the term bolter might be
properly used. We have no
doubt but what there will be
thousands of boilers this fall,
and men who have never voted
any except the Republican ticket
but they will not vote for Cover
nor La Toilette. They may vote
the rest of the ticket but will

Why We Like Wisconsin,

There are several reasons why
north Wisconsin is especially de-
sirable as a place of residence.
First, a person does not have to
be a Salamander in order to en-
dure it's summers. Only a little
farther south and Old Sol begins
to make life burden in early
days of June. It gets hot. 1t
gets hotter 1t keeps getting
bot. The ground gets hot, the
wells get hot, the house walls
get hot. We sweat all day, and
swelter all night for everywhere
from six to twelve weeks. We
know all about it for we've been
there. We have seen hay made
and green fields filled with har-
yestefs1 from dusk to sunrise, be-

his wife presented him with a

when bulletine board may bring
better results than paper. The ed

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies the northern
half Of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardshins
and vicissitudes of frontier life
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C

1t is in that stage of partial de.
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity! Schools, good roads
and other improvements are 60
ing IN. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The.
iron ore, mari. kaolin and CLAW
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacture,

cause the days were too intoler-
ably hot for work. In north
Wisconsin uncomfortably hot
days are rare, the house walls
never fill the rooms with radla-
ting heat at night. Anyone with
a clear conscience and reason
ably well behaved stomach can
have a refreshing slumber three
hundred and sixty-fve days in a
year. Yes, we do sometimes
have it just a little COOLEST like.
but bless you that has its re-
deeming qualities. 1t is cold,
that you can tie to. It "stlcketh
as close as a brother" For good
all ronnd faithfulness to duty,
we bet our money on north Wis
consin winters. But we like
them. We put on our winter
wardrobe in November and have
it on for leeps until say, April
LIST.
We never go to bed under sew
eral quilts in the evening to wake
up toward morning with the
covers kicked off because warm
wave struck us in the night.
Nor do we wake up in the morn
ing with a sore throat and a
cough like a horse fiddle squeak
because it quit raining in the
night and went to freezing. When
we hear a man cough here in the
winter, we are pretty sure he is
gettingrid of a supply he brought
with him from some more south
ern region. It's a thousand TO
one he did not get it here. Our
cold is steady, but it is dry and
bracing. 1t is not exhaustive of
vital force but rather recupera-
tive than otherwise. We come
out in the spring without lassi-
tude. We never have that run
down feeling" which calls for
bitters Or ginger tea to tone us
up. On the whole, we just freeze
to northern Wisconsin winters.
Yes, we do have some tough
days. All great musical compo-
sitions have some discords
thrown in tor effect. AS poetry
our winters are a little off on
meter, at times, but the poem is
splendid just the same, and fire.
wood is plenty. Our springs are
mixtures. They are made up of
cool summer and warm spring,
and they make things grow.
Our falls are such as gives de-
light throughout September and
October and, sometimes through
November and we'll into Decem-
Der autumnal conditions prevail,
but all the while the breath from
pine and hemlock brings ahealth
giving ozone that builds one up,
unless incurable weakness is his

recognized as the leader in the

We recognize with pride and

interests as we'll as the wishes of
the people demand his continued
services in the Senate of the
United States. In full accord
with these sentiments we endorse

election Internationally.

Athletic Training for Soldiers.

The advantage of athletic exercise
as means of fitting a soldier for
the better discharge of his duties was
signally demonstrated on the occasion
of recent trials of certain heavy ord
nance. When the officers in charge
reached the point where they wanted
the speediest possible handling of the
big pieces they called for the men
who had achieved reputation as base
ball and football playees, and the
rapidity with which they used their
muscles contributed not little to the
success of the test. This, it is true,
was merely special case, but it war
rants its application for the purpose
of q general deduction, which is that
just in proportion to the athletic train
ing Of a soldier will be his value in
any field of active duty to which he
may be assigned.
In this particular, as in others relat-
ing to the training of soldiers, the
German army, the best military es-
tablishment in the world, may be
pointed to as setting a good example.
From the moment when the recruit
makes his appearance and to the very
end of his service he is drilled in ev-
cry kind Of gymnastics.
In some degree, it Is true, the Ger
man soldier is prepared while at
school, for here, too, gymnastic exer-
cises are compulsory It is evident,
then, that in our own army, even
though it may not be thought advis-
able to compel the soldiers to under
go gymnastic training regularly, ath-
letics ought to be encouraged in every
way consistent with discipline.
