We are pleased TO acknowledge
the receipt of copy of the 1908
Year Book of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The volume con-
sists of 728 pages. AS usual the
typographical work is excellent1y

trations being incorporated, large

Agricultural Department of the
Government is incorporated the re-
suits of most value determined by
investigation during the year. In
this volume the number of articles
is IS and each one is ably discussed,
though from necessity with con-
siderable brevity. The book is es-
pecially valuable to farmers, horti-
culturists and to those exclusively
engaged in the animal industry.
The Congressman and Senator'S of
the several states each have a
number of these books for distribu-
ton. If you want one write your
Senator or Congressman.

There was clear majority of ten
credentialed delegates over the La
Toilette third-term group. 1t is not
often that SO strong and conclusive
report is submitted to national
convention in the case OF contested
delegates. The best Republican
minds of the state have been engag-
ed in the preparation of this great
protest.
1t must inevitably exert salutary
effect on the national committee
and therefore the hope is brighten
ing every day that Spooner, Quarles,
Babcock and Baensch will be ad-
mitted as delegates from Wisconsin,
and La Toilette, Stevenson, Stout
and Conner will be sent home to
browse on La Toilette grass in our
commonwealth.
This ought to be the final settle
ment of this great problem. But it
will not be, as the La Toilette squad
is carefully preparing for bitter
war against the national party of
the United States.-The Evening

Expose of the La Toilette Fac
ton.

The protest signed by Spooner,
Quarles, Babcock and Baensch
against the admission of Inc La Fol
lette state delegates to the national
convention, is document of extra
ordinary force and clearness. It re-
cites the circumstances of every con-
tested case with such thoroughness
and fairness that the reader must
come to the conclusion that the La
Toilette faction was guilty, through
its state central committee, of such
usurpation of tyranny as would dis
grace any political body in the
United States.
The mad desire of the Madison
coterie to give La Toilette third
term as governor is violation of
precedent, usage and equity. In
spite of all their efforts the facts are
against the La Toilette faction.

Both factions Of the Republican
party in this state have made out a
statement, in contention for a recog-
milton of the ticket each has put up.
Every Republican voter should read
these statements and compare them
each with the other. Reading and
comparing them it seems to us that
the Stalwarts have made out much
the stronger case. They Zeal in
particulars, where the Half Breeds
generalize. There seem to be al
most irreconcilable discrepancies at
some points in the two statements
of the case. The facts in such cases
can only be determined by judicial
investigation. 1t is certain that if
the Stalwarts can prove their con-
tention, in accordance with the
statements of their side of the ques-
ton, they will be entitled to recog-
milton as having put up legitimate
ticket. These statements, now is
sued, are prepared, as we under
stand, simply as a presentation of
evidence for the National committee
to base conclusion upon for the
admission to the National Republic
an convention of delegates selected
at the conventions. The case for the
courts will be prepared separately
and with view to present the legal
points in issue for determination.

Japan's Object in the War.

The war begun by Japan against
Russia has so far developed that we
can pretty surely determine the OBJ
ject the Japanese leaders had in view
when hostilities were begun. AS
the result of the war between Japan
and China in 1856 China coded
to Japan the Lao Tung peninsula,
including Port Arthur. Russia in
trigued with other European powers
to nullify the treaty of Shimoneseki,
and as result Russia eventually ac-
quired lease of the peninsula, oc-
cupied and strongly fortified it. 1t
is now apparent that Japan has the
intention to recover this territory by
the force of arms, and, as in war
"to the victor belong the spoils," #
she drives out the Russians she will
hold the reconquered territory. And
if she succeeds in capturing Port
Arthur, as it is now conceded she
will, the nations will undoubtedly
give ready acquiescence to Japan's
contention of right to the territory.
Some IS or 40 miles north of Port
Arthur, in the vicinity of Kin Chou,
the point of the recent severe fight
ing, the peninsula is narrow, and
the features of the country are ex-
tremely rugged and SO susceptible
of being easily fortified. Here, hav-

"IIr. STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

This school, situated at Sparta,
was established in 1886, with the
object to care for and educate physi-
cally, intellectually, and morally,
orphans and such dependent or
neglected children as may be placed
therein until homes can be found
for them in good families. Children
up to Il years of age may be adj
mitted to this school, commitment
to be made by a probate Judge.
Kindergarten, reading, writing,
arithmetic, history, geography, sing
ing, cooking, sewing and farming
are laugh. The children are kept
in cottages, where they are separated
by ages and sex. If an one wishes
to take child from the school to
care for, application is made to the
superintendent of the school, who
furnishes blank to be filled
out by the applicant and to be en-
dorsed by two county officers or
other respectable citizens. If the
opportunities offered to the child are
found satisfactory, an agent is sent
to the parties for investigation. On
finding the conditions as certified to
in the application, the superintend-
ent selects the child, or the parties
themselves may make selection
In the contract then signed the party
taking the child agrees to pay the
sum of $50 on its 18th birthday, the
money to be held by the state until
the child becomes of age. The
child may be adopted by these foster
parents, if they SO wish and the
Board of Control consents, con-
tingency that depends upon the care
the child receives.
The average attendance at this
school in 1903 was 147 and the year.
ly expense about $4,000. The in.
vestment in buildings and real es.
tate of 165 acres to date amounts to
about $4,000.

put an impossible barrier across the

that the fall of Port Arthur will end

with which Germany is watching the
growth of the American navy, and the
high opinion entertained by naval

in the naval budget of an item spe-
officially covering the cost of sending

the methods of building and arming
warships and other matters that may
be applied 10 the betterment of the
German navy. The recommendations
