The Wisconsin Decision.

rev "l us HAY" understood Or at
tempted to understood the local con
dihons which have split the Republi-
can party in Wisconsin. but at this
time it is enough fol. us to know tn It
the recent decision Of tn" supreme
court of that state clears the way for
TIA" union of the Republican voters of
Wisconsin on one unchallengcI Roose-
Welt and Fairbanks electoral ticket.
Some time aE" the two factions named
the same men for presidential electors,
and then named separate State tickets.
Under the law in that State the names
Of tn" same electors cannot appear on
both the Republican tickets, and 50 the
important question came up az to with
which ticket the Republican electors
should be associated.
The decision referred to settles that
they will ali g on the LaFulletty
ticket, ana 50 the entire Republican
vote Of the State will b. east for il
singl" electoral ticket. conccrnin-
whose status there is no confusion or
doubt. tn" merits Of the local con
trovcrsy which has /, suited in two Re
publican parties in Wisconsin is an
other matter. The Republican nation II
convention decided that the faction
headed by the United States senators
was the regular PARTY, while the state
COMMITTEES holds to the LaFolette fac.
ton. and the supreme court decides
that the state committee is the proper
tribunal to decide such question.
1t may be that the quarrel between
! these two factions will result in the
election of a Democratic governor in
! this State, this fall. although this is by
no means con, eded but the decision of
the supreme court straiGhtens out the
tangie regarding the electoral vote. and
= bsolutely removes .he State from the
doubtful list SO far as the presidential
election is concerned. 1t can be relied
upon to roll UP a majority of 100000 NJ
more for Roosevelt next MONTH just "a
it did Tor Mckinley il 1895 and 1900. and
those Democrats who count upon the
gubernatorial fight to help them in
carrying the State for Parker are
simply chasing rainbo,ys.

With the hazy sunset ending.
Every day now shows the blending
OF the warm days into colder
Of the season growing older.
While the 1rOSts are gently turning
Green leaves into colors burning
Golden. yellow. crimson bright
In the Silly hours of night.
Wood and field in transformation
Breathe the wonders of creation.
And the shorter days remind US
Smarter ones to come must ind Us
Well prepared to meet the coming
OF the storm king, loudly stunning
Aeolian chords among the branches
OF the trees while avalanches
OF bright leaves fail down III glory,
And repeat the old. old story
OF a mission that is ended
AS to earth they now are blended.

several pages in an attempt to sub
stantiatr the claim made that the
business and Industrial record Of 1903
WIS a disastrous one. and in its own
words that there were more failures
ana Labor disturbances under Roose-
Welt than under Cleveland. There
can he no better reply to this absurd
contention than the following Demo-
cratic testimony from Hearsts New
York American Of December L. 1903:
The year 1893 will be known as a
record year of prosperity in the
United States. Our granaries are
grooming With the products Of an
abundant harvest. Our savings banks
overflow with the reserves of the peo-
pie. Our scale of expenditure is the
highest the world has ever known. In
New York today the shops are crowd
ID with buyers, spending more than
was ever spent at Christmas time be-
fore. The hotels are full, the restaur-
ants parked. and on all sides can be
seen abundant evidence of plenty"

DESTROYING a State.

One New York editor, who mas eNi-
IDENTIFY become discouraged regarding
the future of Delaware, as a result OF
its political conditions and compilca-
tions suggests that the only hope 1of
the state is to have it annexed TO one
Of the states adjoining. 1t is easy
enough to make such a propositlon' pu'
quite another matter to find con-
stitutional or practical way to get rid
of a state that wants to remain
state. The same problem has been
raised in the case of Nevada IN recent
years.
What state wants Delaware. ana 10

state from having an Atlantic water
front but the business relations OF the
st.te are almost wholly with Pennsyl-

cities. Is really a suburb or fhiiadel-
phia. and the people generally are Oh
the same stock as the Pennsylvanians.
But Pennsylvania is already large
enough. i'm fact. too large if anything.
Then there is New Jersey. Annexed
to this little state, it would still re-

To be sure. the Delaware river flows
between the two states. but several
states are cut in two by large rivers.
For instance, Connecticut and Massa

Minnesota and Louisiana by the
Mississippi.
1t would be very nice, for either
Maryland or New Jersey to have Della

only an idle dream. The little formal

summation Of the plan, but it is an
states of the Union are not sovereign

is easy enough for our central govern
ment TO create a new state, but once
created there is nothing in the con-
stitution or law-making power of the
land which can annex that state to
another OF force it back into terri
tOrial conditions again, as would be
the proper thing to do in the case of
Nevada whose population is reaching
the vanishing point. There will
doubtless be more states in the Union
some day, as the few remaining terri
tories are admitted. and as some of the
larger states, notably Texas. are di-
vidcd but it is very doubtful if the
number of states will ever be reduced.
1t may seem a pity that some of the
states are 50 small as compared with
others in their size and pOpulat ton,
and conditions may arise which would
make the extinction of state de-
sirablc, but our government will tackle
one of the biggest problems that it
ever found, when it attempts to wipe
out a state. The problem would be
greatly simplified. OF course. if the

it annexed "r to have it become terri
tory, but such 4 desire is altogether
unlikely to arise.
