The Most Important Public
Question Today.

The Investigations which have
been carried on demonstrate
that, looking at the matter from
all sides, there is no one ques.
ton now before the people of
the United States of greater i'm
portance than the conservation
of the water supply and the re-
clamation of the arid lands of
the West, and their settlement
by men who will actually build
homes and create communities.
The appreciation of this condi-
ton is shown by the fact that
both the great political parties
inserted in their platforms, ar
ticles calling attention to the
necessity of national aid for the
creation of homes on the public
domain. National Homemaker.

At Portales, N. NJ, Saturday
night, jan. 4th, Percy Boren, in
the 10Th year of his age, passed
to life eternal. 1t has been our
pleasure to know this young
man for years and of him it can
truly be said. he was model.
AS son he was kind, affection
ate and dutiful, his greatest
pleasure ever seemed to be to
help his mother, to make her
path as free from care as posi-.
BILE; to his father he was a right
hand, ever willing to do any
thing be saw should be done; as
a brother he was devoted, kind,
careful; as friend he was
steadfast and true. While SO
far as we know, he had never
united with any church yet his
heart was ever set on the
straight and narrow path. His
ideas of religion, morality and
justice were strong and true.
Dear Percy we weep not for
you for we feel that your life
has just begun, your work here
finished before the evils of this
world had time to make a stain
on your fair life's page, you
have missed all the sorrows
that are now our lot; yours now
the joy of life supernal,
death eternal life bestOws,
Open heavens portal throws.
And no peril waits at last
Him who now away hath past"

Things That Might Happen.

"Aren't you worried almost

off in a sailboat like that?" ask
ed the visitor. She was thin,
nervous, fretful woman and she
had watched with wonder and
something like horror the mat.
ter-of-fact way in which her
hostess sturdy lads prepared
for an all-day sail.
The mother shook her head
and smiled. "No," she said.
II wont allow myself to worry.
They have a right to run some
risk. That's the way boys
grow brave and self.reliant, able
to grapple with an emergency.
"Of course there are times
when I have to hold them back
a little, but | don't often do it.
Sometimes, when I've been
tempted to oppose their plans,
I've stopped and asked myself,
Aren't you thinking more about
yourself than about them, and
just scheming to save yourself
uneasiuess?' When l couldn't
honestly answer mo- to that
question, I'd let them go ahead.
Selfishness often masquerades
as devotion, you know. I'm al
ways suspicious of the kind of
mother love that tries to tie a
healthy boy into his own door
yard.
IA friend of mine did that
once. She hated and dreaded
football. and one day, when her
terrors were at their height,
she asked her son not to take
part in a certain game. He
promised he would not and he
didn't. He lounged around the
house instead. But there he
stepped on bit of orange peel,
fell. and so injured his spine
that he was laid up for more
than two years.
ut doesn't pay, you see, to
try too hard to direct the course
of events. 1t surely isn't wise,
either, to worry about things
that may happen. Generally
those things don't happen.
Calamities fall at unexpected
times from quarters whence we
never anticipated trouble. Wor-
rying doesn't help to protect
our loved ones-not a single
bit. 1t only affects our own
health and happiness and dis
tresses every one around us.
"That's my experience, and
that's the end of the sermon, F"
the matron added, laughingly.
'Iv'e endured agony myself
over troubles that never arriv-
ed and if l hadn't taken my.
self in hand I should be ner-

A New Poor Farm.
From the Marshfeld Times.

From the Marshfield Times.
Chairman Of the County,. Board
John Juno has appointed supervisors
Arpin, Tallant and Thomas to select
a suitable site for new county poor
farm. 1t will probably be located
somewhere near the center of the
county. The present accommodations
at the poor farm are inadequate fol
the increased demand for homes from
those who are supported by the county,
and as the land is very poor it was
thought best to make a new selection,
which will be settled on soon. Several
suitable farms have been offered tC
the committee near Vesper, and as
that village is now quite a railroad
center and of easy access to all parts
of the county, the new poor farm may
be located near there.
There has been considerable talk for
some time about "a new poor
farm location but there always
appeared to be universal sentiment
on the County Board to leave well
enough alone. If a change of location
is desired the selection should be made
before the county will be forced to pay
about $50 per acre for the necessary
land Wild land is now selling for SO.
SIS and $40 per acre in most of the
towns in the county especially where
the soil is first-claSS.

Editorial

1t grows more and more patent &c
the reading and thinking IMAM, that
the Salwart League with the aid of
the Milwaukee Sentinel, is forcing
political complications that will
divorce the Republican party of the
state into two factions, that will
extend into every assembly, senatorial
and congressional district. Even the
{. S. Senators will be drawn into it.
This condition of affairs is certainly
not very fiattering one for the
future success and prosperity of the
Republican party. Every congress
man now serving will have opposition
with favorable prospects of losing
some of the districts to the Demo-
Gratis. This 10th Congressional
district will undoubtedly elect a
! LaEOllette man, or the district Will be
lost to the Republicans. Judging
from the present sentiment in each
county that composes this district,
we are led to believe that LaFollette
man can be nominated and elected.
We are panied, from Republican
standpoint, to see this condition pro-
jected into the party, after SO sue
cessful an outcome the party enjoyed
| in the last election. The eleventh
floor league is responsible for the
present conditions and must suffer the
| blame if the party fails to succeed III
the coming struggle. The present
administration in this state has been
true to the party platform and there
| fore is right. No part of the official
head of the Republican party, as
| represented in the State Central COM
mittee, has aided or recognized the
league in its opposition to the Cover
nor and therefore cannot be blamed
| if the results are disastrous. There
is nothing in the League movement
that is ideal, or that appeals TO the
higher motives in men, but TO the
| contrary it's methods are debasing and
degrading. Where is the relief?
Republicans must answer. AS for US
we shall stand by the Governor and
| the state administration because there
is nothing in the record that proves
| the Governor unfaithful to the party
and its platform. We are sorry to see
the party thus divided and can see no
justice or fairness in the Leagues
organization or methods. Time will
| tell. We are satisfied that RObt. M
LaFollette will be re-nominated and
reelected because his position is right

Senator Whitehead Consents.

From Oshkosh Northwestern.
Senator John NJ. Whitehead of James
vile has formally announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor. in a letter
addressed to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
This is a personal privilege of Senator
Whitehead and considering the move
ment which has been pushed in his
behalf and the numerous petitions
circulated requesting him to permit
the use of his name it was an obvious
duty on his part to announce himself
either one way or the other. He
refers to this ''call' as bearing the
names of men Of many natiOnalitieS.
OF diverse ayOcatiOnS, of party leaders,
Old and young. constituting an ele-
ment which he believes is strongly
representative Of the rank and file Of
the party. He also states that the
origin of this movement sis one which
they fully comprehend and the neces-
Sity of which they fully recognize"
and he adds that his faith in the cause
which they have espoused "make his
duty plain"
With due regard for the abilities
and integrity of Senator Whitehead
The Northwestern believes that he
has made a mistake regarding his
duty in the matter. The very fact
that he decided to make his announce
ment through the chosen organ of the
league faction fairly indicates the
expected source of his support. The
league is merely an organization
launched and perfected by disgruntled
politicians who profess to believe that
the reelection of Governor LaFollette
would be detrimental to the future
prestige and success of the party.
Charges innummerable have been made
against the governor but the actual
and convincing proof has not been
forthcoming. AS generally under
stood the whole movement is one
which has been engineered by the
close friends of the corporation inter
ests for the purpose of checking the
governor in his program of taxation
reform. This will certainly be the
issue in the coming state campaie 4
and it is difficult to see how the PEG.
pie can be induced to take a STEP
which works to their own diSad
vantage.

Dat Smut in Wisconsin.

Bulletin number 81. recently issued
By the Experimental Station, is Of
great Importance to Wisconsin
farmers. This bulletin shows that
last season the farmers of our state
lost over 100000 through damages
caused by oat smut. Many farmers
who thought there was no oat smut in
their fields lost from to 20 per cent.
of the crop from this cause. The
bulletin tells how through the use of
chemical which can be obtained at
any drug store seed oats may be
treated So as to entirely prevent smut.
Such treatment costs but one cent per
bashel of seed, and is easily applied.
The bulletin will be sent free to all
farmers upon request. Address

Sen ator Whitehead.
From the Jefferson County Union.

From the Jefferson County Union.
State Senator John M. Whitehead
has written letter to the Milwaukee
Eleyenth-StOry League, prOclaiming
himself candidate for the Republican
nomination of Governor in opposition
to Gov. LaFOliette.
This was to be expected. Senator
Whitehead has been joined to his cor
poration idols for nearly two years
The canvass for names to call him out
was supported by money raised by the
Pfster or Eleyenth-StOry League. The
men who are backing him are at the
head of this deep corporation con-
spiracy to defeat Gov. LaFOllette, as
we'll as all future hope IF political and
taxation reforms.
In his letter Mr.. Whitehead says the
issues are being made up by the peO-
pie. This is true. And one of those
issues will inevitably be, that the man
who joins a band of politicians, who
for years have been nothing but
corporation lobbyists, buying and
selling legislation against the people,
can not hope to win the people, no
matter what he may once have been.
The issue is as simple as A. B. G. 1t is
the people versus corrupt politicians.
Not man in all this PtiSter con-
spiracy that is behind Senator White
head, has ever teen seen in the
legislature or before municipal
council, pleading for the people. Tue
only legislation they are interested in
is something for the corporations The
corporations pay literally. The peO-
pie don't. So it has gone for years
Everyone of these old lobbyists will
shout for Whitehead. Everyone will
snarl at LaFollette. 1t ought to be
easy for the plain common man and
tax payer to choose the side he will be
