CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Navy's sdarksmanship.

'"The criterion of target practice is
the actual number of hits per minute"
says Secretary OF the Navy Bonaparte.
Many ships now average between IS
and 80 per cent of hits with all their
main battery guns. whereas in former
days the percentage was rarely over
40. even though firing slowly at a tar
get more than seven times as large as
the present one. Then the target was
100 feet long and 25 feet high; today
1t is 81 feet long and IL feet high. This
increase in hitting ability is due to the
assiduous training In the target prac-
tees which have been carried out under
the new system adopted and also to
Improvement In ordnance. Going back
ofS96, when the navy was using black
powder and when sights and other
parts of the equipment were poorly de-
veloped, our firing was both slow and
inaccurate. At that time it was con-
sidered satisfactory If a twelve inch
gun fred one shot In five minutes. But
with each subsequent improvement in
ordnance the rapidity was somewhat
Increased, and by carrying out sys-
tematic target practice the present
striking efficiency has been attained.
For example, the heavy turret guns
that were but few years ago allowed
FIVE minutes in which to fire a shot
have recently fired three shots and
made three hits In one minute. "-Har-

WHAT HOARD THINKS

The Republican platform convention
which met at Madison on Tuesday is
certainly to be congratulated on the
result Of their lsbors They have given
us a standard of political ideas to vote
for the coming election that are at once
progressive and safe, and which ought
to inspire the confidence of every well
wisher of his stste We hope every
reader of the Union, women as we'll as
men will read this platform. Ii tells
what the republican party Of Wisconsin,
as at present organized, believes in. 1t
indicates what will be the future policy
Of legislation and administration as
long as the state is entrusted to the
management Of such men as Governor
Davidson, W. D. Conner and other men
on the state ticket. 1t is always a good
thing to have able. faithful men at the
head of sffairs, who are inspired with
such excellent ideas of government as
are set forth in thu republican Platform

The Chnmpion Parrot.

A woman In a London fiathouse was
accused of singing hymns to her par
rots for the benefit of their souls. This
recalls to the London Chronicle the
most accomplished parrot in history.
1t belonged to Colonel Dennis OKelly
and was famed for its whistling Of the
One Hundred and Fourth Psalm. Wheh
the colonel died in 1877 a large proper
ton of his obituary notice in the Cen
tleman's Magazine was devoted to this
remarkable bird, which got another
considerable notice OF its own when L.
died fifteen years later In Half Moon
street, Piccadilly. This parrot could
also whistle God Save the King" and
The Banks of the Dee" and would go
back and correct itself If it got note
wrong 1t could even answer Ques-
tons, and its master was said to have
refused 500 guineas a year to show 1t
In public.

VERY IMPORTANT GATHERING.

The republican party primary con
vention held at the capital city, last
week, was an innovsii N for Wisconsin,
and the whole country for that matter
No party gathering of the same nature
was ever held in the United States. 1t
was convention convened to comply
with the provisions of the primary cleo
ton law, which provides that csndi-
dates for state officers and members OF
the legislature shall meet and form 3
party platform on which candidates
seek the suffrages of the people, elect a
state central committee and chairman
thereof.
The republican gathering was an AMI
mated one, eliminating however, In
complete harmony, the adoption OF
r storm that is satisfactory to all ele-
li,nts of the party and the rival rae
I, ms that contended for supremacy.
No more progressive, strong and plain
platform has been placed before the peo-
Die of this or any other state. There is
hst a weak or evssiye plank in the en-
tire document. 1t commends the things
accomplished in the past and pledges
the party TO the enactment of strength.
ening laws wherever the light OF exper-
fence suggests remedial necessities. We
commend the platform to our readers as
we'll as the ticket nominated at the pri-
maries. The platform and proceedings
of the convention is given in the news
columns of today's CENSOR.
The strife that was created before the
primaries and at the platform eonVen-
ton, IS a matter of the past, and repub-
licans will, In the campaign and at the
polls, show a united and determined
front to the opposition.
Although beaten in the state by fifty
thousand majority at the primaries,
carrying but three of the seventy.one
counties of the state, Messrs. La Fol-
lette, Lenroot and few other follow
ers, sought to control the platform con-
vention and lehabilitate themselves as
the party itself. They were unable TO
do this, and it was preposterous that
they should attempt to do so after the
great majority rolled up against them.
RepublicSuism, not personal politics,
rot factionslism, prevailed, and the
convention was wise in permitting and
insisting that the sentiment Of the peo-
pie as declared at the primaries, be car
ried through, and by those who were
victorious in the contest
The choosing of state central COM
mittee in accord with the prevailing
sentiment of the state and reelection of
Hon. w. D. Connor as state chairman
was the proper and Just conclusion of
the platform gathering.

New York's recent roof garden muir
der gave prominence to the term dope
hend." What is the origin OF dope"
dope" Is an English dialect word for
simpieton, but probably the dope"
in this case Is another one altogether,
derived from the doping" o. horses
and implying that the man was the
victim of drug habit In this country
dope" has long signifed any thick
liquid OF semiliquid used as food or as
a lubricant The Scientific American
says that 1t once meant "a preparation
OF pitch, tallow and other ingredients
which, being applied to the bottom of
the shoes, enables the wearer to glide
lightly over the snow softened by the
rays of the sun" 1t Is believed to come
from the Dutch "doop," dripping or
paste, which is from the verb meaning
to dip.

The English Army Tailor.

The daily press is full of gibes at the
British military tailor employed by the
wa department to assist in revising
the cut of the uniforms of the enlisted
men OF the regular army. Scornful re-
marks on the "swagger clothes" OF
English Tommy lead to "reminiscences
Of glorious past. The ghost of the
Continental stalks across the stage in
bis ragged regimentals' and looks re-
proachfui "Treason" the antique fig
ure seems to say. or so our patriotic
scribes would read his expression.
Then they conjure up the soldier of the
civil war In his blue contract Stops. He
also looks disapproval. Did he fight
less well by reason of the sartorlally
shocking garments he wore? In all
seriousness, much might be done for
the uniforms OF the enlisted men of
the army of the United States. AS
they are now built they are not only
ugly, but they do not look to be COM
Portable. And who can doubt that the
war department will know how to
profit by the experience of the expert
foreign artist without sacrificing any
thing Of the essentials of adaptabllity

AS a matter of fairness TO all inter
ests, even though they be in opposition
to the CENsoR's party in politice, we
gigs space 70 political communication
on the subject Of election Of member
of assembly from Vernon county. DIR
c. v Porter writes strongly in favor of
DIR. Schreiner for that position. The
CENSOR desires to cali attention OF re-
publicans to the fact that the Off 20 of
member of the legislature is the only Of
ficer elected in the county that has par
ticular political Significance. He joins
in formulating policies and laws that
are considered political If a man en-.
tertsins party affiliations they enter in
to the choosing Of q member of the law
making body of the state more scutely
than at any other point. Republicans
OF Vernon county should remember that
their candidate was nominated under
the primary election, that he was the
free choice of a large majority of the
party, that he entitled to the same con-
sideration that other party candidates
are. that he is clean, progressive gen.
tleman, has stood for the reforms that
the progressive element has contended
for. Frank Mains, the candidate, Is in
all respects worthy and entitled to the
support of the members of his party.

Boiler Explosion. In England.

During the twelve months ended
June 80. 1906, there were fourteen per-
sons killed and forty injured from Brit
ish steam plant accidents, smaller re
turns than for any year since the boiler
explosions act of 1892 was passed, the
average for the past twenty-five years
being twenty-eight persons killed and
sixty injured.
On the other hand, the Locomotive,
published at Hartford, Conn, gives 3s3
persons as killed and 5S5 injured in the
United States. The number of steam
boilers In America does not exceed by
80 per cent those In Great Britain;
