What the Editors Say

Lamberton, Mimi, has a Commercial
club that believes in doing things. The
other day about thirty of its members
collected teams and the necessary
wagons and, scrapers and went into the
country about. six miles to repair a
road that has been impossible for al
most year, thus letting into the viii
iage great many farmers who trav
eied to other towns. The crowd spent
the whole day on the pike, and did a
great deal of work, putting the road in
excellent shape. This is. the kind of

WISCONSIN is DOUBTFUL

WISCONSIN is DOUBTFUL
Raymond" the Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune, an
unusually well equipped political re-
porter, has been investigating the con-
ditions in Wisconsin and writes his pa
per from Madison to the effect that the
Badger state is to be properly placed in
the doubtful column.
"The split is wide open," he says,
land the majority in Wisconsin is not
big enough to prevent danger of losing
the presidential electors as well as the
governor" He figures that SO per cent
Of the electors will find it impossible to
so scratch their ballots as to effectively
indicate the men they desire to vote
for. This he ascribes to a general want
of accurate information on the part of
the voter in the marking of a complex
Australian ballot, and he foresees Re
publican defeat. He does not consider
the possibility of the Republicans heal
ing their. differences worth while con-
sidering. @
This statement of the case by the
correspondent of party organ, such
as the. Tribune must be regarded, in
spite of its independence with regard
to individuals, is calculated to cause
the Republicans of the national group
to view the future of Wisconsin with
alarm. This. alarm is. the more i'm
pressive because of their utter inability
to do anything to remedy the existing
conditions. The causes for the split
are too deep seated to permit of eradi-
cation. It is not that the politicians
have split. That might not be fatal to
the hopes of party which has had
considerable majority in the state. The
split goes down into the people and
every town and hamlet in the state has
it's rival camps. There is such bitter
ness as would find expression in vio-
lence in some of the less sedate of the
sisterhood of states.
While agreeing with the Tribune cor
respondent that Wisconsin is very like
ly to be lost to the Republicans, T e
G | o b e does not go all the way with
him in locating the probable cause of
the impending defeat 1t is not the
ignorance of the voter that will take
Wisconsin out of the Republican COL
umn but the intelligence of the people,
who may be depended on to rebuke the
leaders who have set themselves up as
rival dictators. 1t was demonstrated
not so many years ago that Wisconsin
was not a hidebound Republican
state; that the voters cared nothing
for party when their rights were men
aced by the ambitions Of men. The
Republicans will lose thousands of
votes by reason of the split ticket, but
they will lose the state because the
necessity for putting down the men
who have usurped the functions of gov
eminent and whose personal enmities
have resulted in the decentralization of
the state and the corruption of it's in
situations. 1t is not SO much the de-
feat of both the Republican gangs that
is demanded in Wisconsin as the re-
demption thereby of the state from po-
litical misrule.

Goldsboro. N. c.. April Pa fire
which originated in the finishing room
of the Wayne Agricultural Works did
considerable damage this afternoon.
The wind was blowing a gale from the
south, and in a short while the hull
house of the Goldsboro Oil Mill was ON
fire. Both institutions are situated
close to each other and the wind was
from the right direction to arr the
flames to the oil mills.
Hundreds of people could see the ter
rible black smoke from any part OF the
city and the vicinity was soon crowded
with people who watched the deyas-
tating flames with wonderment.
The residence portion OF the city was
in danger at one time.
The agricultural works suffered a
loss Of $1,000 covered nee. The
oss of the oil mill will amount to be-
tween $40, 600 and $15, 900 which is Gov
ered by insurance. The automatic
sprinkler of the oil mill together with
their fire proof brick building prevent
ed the fire from doing further damage.
