HAD ANOTHER MAN NOMINATED

All Republicans, and all other citi-
zens AS well, must readily realize
that if Gov. LaFoliette had not been
nominated and some other man-no
matter who-had been named for
governor, the Democratic conven-
ton, under the thumb of Dave Rose,
would not have denounced his adj
ministration but would have held it
up rather as the only redeeming feat
ure in Il long period of Republican,
misrule, The Rose democracy would
have accounted for Mr.. LaFollette's
defeat on the ground that his party
is in the hopeless grip OF corporations,
which he has sought to bring to time
in the matter of their just proportion
of taxation that they are now shunt-
ing onto other shoulders. The Rose
Democracy would thus have made
the issues, for the espousal of which
Mr.. LaFollette is in part distinguish
ed, its own issues, and hence would
have completely reversed its pres
ent position. The late democratic
convention, therefore-altho' many
Of the delegates may not have rea-
lied the fact and others who did
were powerless to defeat its schemes
was politically as dishonest as
Dave Rose himself in making up its
issues for the campaign. It could not
be otherwise indeed, considering the
sinister influence which dominant
cd it and to which it yielded in every
thing.-Appleton Post.

If there is Republican who be-
lieves he is justified in supporting
Rose, it wonld be interesting to know
how he reasons. The position of such
a Republican is queer to say the least
He will not support an honest Re-
publican who has the courage of his
convictions, who stands for honest
government and whom money can not
buy, but stands ready to give his sup
port to David ;. Rose, who is not
only VIGOROUSLY without principle
but has announced that"this dying
for principle is all root" Any man
who advertises to the world that he
will support Rose, is simply making
known the fact that he approves of
the Milwaukee mayors standard of

"WHAT SHALL WE EHT2"

Every day the same old question,
What shall we eat for breakfast, for
luncheon, for dinner? assails with
monotonous regularity the patient
housewife who seeks to provide good
living for the family in agreeable
variety at q moderate cost. There
is a daily department in the Chicago
Record II erald which is intended to
answer this question satisfactorily
every day in the year. 1t is entitled
Meals for Day" and provides me-
nus for the three meals every day,
with necessary recipes. These me-
nus and recipes are carefully selected
by the Record Herald's household
editor, and the cash prizes are award
ed to to the best that are received.
Housewives everywhere are invited

Much Ado about an as"

The printing of the Bible is the most
strictly guarded work in existence, Il
fact which appears strange until we
reflect on the mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about. The kings
printers and the two universities of
oxford and Cambridge give to the
world all the Bibles printed in the
United Kingdom except some printed
by special license. i few years ago
the question arose whether the word
esprit" In Matthew iv, !, and Mark i,
u, should have n capital IS" it having
been previously printed with a small
one, and, although the word was obvi-
ously wrongly printed, il was not until
after the ruling powers at the universe
ties and the kings printers had met in
solemn council that leave was given to
use the capital letter.
Nothing sanctioned by authority in
1911 may be changed without creating
something akin to revolution in the
places where Bibles are printed.-Liv-
erpool Post.

Verdi was once travelling in the same

enthusiastic preference for that Of It.

The common flea leaps 200 times its
own length. TO show like agility q
man six feet tall would have to leap
distance of 1,2O0 feet The cheese
mite is about one-quarter of an inch
In length, yet it has been seen to take
the tip of its tail in its mouth and
then, letting 90 with a jerk, to leap out
of vessel six inches in depth. To
equal this a man would have to jump
out of Il well from 4 depth of IA feet.
And equally strange things are found
among the plants and vegetables. A
well known student OF nature once
tried the growing force of a squash
When it was eighteen days old and
measured twCuty-seven inches in cir
conference. ne fixed sort of harness
around it, with a long lever attached.
The power of the squash was measur
ed by the weight it lifted, the weight
being fixed to the lever. When ii was
twenty days old. two days after the
harness was fixed on il. ii lifted sixty
pounds. On the nineteenth day it lift
ed 5000 pounds.

SURE SPooNER WILL ACCEPT THE
INVITATION.

In agreeing to send an official in
vitation to Senator Spooner to take
the stump for the republican ticket
in this state during the campaign
which has Just been opened, the re-
publican state central committee has
made "A very wise and commendable
move. 1t is also "A matter of salts
faction to know that the members OF
the committee, besides voting to send
the joint invitation referred to-
agreed between them that each in
dividual would supplement it with a
personal letter to the senator urging
that he accede to the wishes OF the
committee, which is in keeping with
the desire Of the entire membership
Of the party. Such an invitation, re-
inforced, as it certainly Will be, by
the urging of all the senators friends
in the state. can not fail to have the
desired effect, and nothing but seri-
Gus illness on the part of the senator
will prevent him from entering the
work Of the campaign with all the
earnestness and vigor with which he

do his share in the present campaign
has been the general expectation
and now that cordial and earnest
invitation has been extended to him

boilers league hope to accomplish
through the legislature what they
failed to do in the contest for the
governorship,-the defeat of the re-
forms promised by the republican
parfy-it is more important that the

the party declarations than that he be
a resident of any particular county.

MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION.
A Case OF Well Developed Nerve,
Coupled with Wit.

/
'"There is absolute wit in some mems
nerve" said Il business man to a re-
porter. My partner and |, with the
intention OF expanding our business,
about year ago decided TO send a rep
resentative through the south. We
looked ever the field carefully and
finally picked out young man who
was possessed OF GOOD address and
who, we felt sure. would do the work.
He had been eonyiyial in former
days, but his department had been
such for 4 year that it nate US feel
confident he would do the proper thing.
He was given S4o0 for expenses and
the understanding that he was to make
daily report of his efforts.
1.-TWO months passed by, and we new
er heard from him. We telegraphed
repeatedly to different towns that We're
on his itinerary, but not Il word could
be learned regarding his Whereabouts.
Finally one day hurried telegram,
collect, came. 1t read:
81 am not selling many goods, but
am making n fine impression. Wire
500 quick
"The nerve of the fellow got our
nerve and, do you know, we wired him
the 800, and afterward he made good.
We have never asked him what he did
during the two months, and he has
never preached the subject to us. 1t
was the wit that pleased us."-Wash-

All the great families of living things
have a dominant sense. We lead our
life by sight and make artificial lights
to render darkness tolerable. But the
creature whom next TO ourselves we
prefer, the dog, lives in a very different
universe. His dominant sense, like that
of many other quadrupeds, is the very
one we most neglect, the sense of smell.
The dog will track his master, never
lifting UP his head to search the dis
lance: often with hair falling over his
eyes he follows on, not troubling him
self to shake it aside

WHAT DOES HE STAND FOR7

w. ID. Hoard, in Jefferson County
Union: These are times when men Of
all parties need to exercise all the sol
id political sense they possess. 1t is
no light thing to cast vote. 1t
means more than just the personal
like or dislike we may have for this
man or that. This thought should
always be kept in mind-What does
the candidate stand for?
There is where the politics Of the
thing touches every one Of us. For
| instance we are soon to nominate
candidates for the state legislature
For about 30 years the farmers and
| householders in Wisconsin have
been living under an unjust and
senseless system Of taxation, SO that
they have been obliged to pay con-
stantly more than their share of the
taxes.
IN this time great corporations
have been formed using millions OF
capital. Special laws have been
passed in THEN interest, whereby
they get rid OF Just taxation. Rail-
road, express AID telegraph compan-
les, telephone companies, street rail-
road companies, trust corporations,
| sleeping chr companies, and other
corporations are absorbing the mon
ely and business of the people and
paying but Il little of what they
should pay in taxes.
| We like the remark made the 9TH
er day by a leading democrat. He
said: Better adjustments of our tax
laws and our system of nominating
candidates for Office are needed and
needed badly. My neighbors and |
want something done. What we are
after is something practical. We
have been too lazy and indifferent,
satisfying ourselves with the word
democrat or republican, voting for
the party and not ourselves"
That man sees the question just as
it is. AS property holders, with all
our property in sight, taxed year af-
ter year to the top notch, we have ac-
ted more like children than men.
And now this year we are likely to
go on in the same old foolish way,
paying more attention to our person
al and party likes and dislikes than
to our own interest.
Politicians we have by the wagon
load, but what dc they do for us eX-
cept to scramble for the offices and
draw their pay for mighty little SER
| vice.
The UNION would suggest that the
! farmers in every school district get
together by themselves in the school
| houses, some evening during this
month and talk the matter over. Get
together and talk it over as neigh
bors, not as party men.
! Every farmer in this country is
dairylnan. His property is at stake.
Don't think that the question OF ole
omargarine is settled, for it is not
you have got a hundred millions Of
capital 30 fight, They can find GER
tain republican and democratic po-
liticians to work for their money and
you will never know it. Look over
the candidates and consider which
one will be likely to do the most for
you as dairyman. As the old darkey
said, "rhar is where the hen scratch
es." We are leaving this matter of Sc
lecting our candidates too much to
few political leaders. Let as do some
thing for ourselves. Politics means
business,

The democrats, following the lead

the responsibility for it does not rest
