THE ONLY DANGER.

Never were indications for RepIb-
1ican success IN Wisconsin better
than they are today. Even the
Democrats as a rule will concede
that it is only question of plurality
for the Republican ticket and that
they are fighting to keep that down
as low as possible.
The greatest danger to the Repub-
1ican ticket lies in an over conf
dence in ultimate success which may
keep many Republican voters at
home. The primary election has
made the campaign an extraordl-
narily long one, fully twice that of
previous ones. The primary fight
was extremely spirited and the fol-
lowing SO quiet in comparison that
it seemed practically impossible to
arouse interest among the members
of any of the parties.
While the state ticket is of course
assured 1t is not so certain concern
ing the congressional and county
tickets. The fight for county offices
here has always been close but
Republican popularity and splen-
did county ticket should roll up a
good round majority for every name
on the ticket.
The only thing to prevent such a
result may be the stay-at-home
vote. This can only be guarded
against by each Republican voter
determining to go to the polls on
election day and if possible take his
neighbors along. The entire Repub-

JUDGE MAHoNEY'S ATTITUDE.

We reproduce herewith an edi-
torial from the Viroqua Republican,
Judge Mahoney's home paper,
which states the position he. has
taken on the congressional stu
alton in this district. The friends
and supporters of Judge MaLoney
will do well to take the same stand
and not be misled;
''There is one thing about Judge
Mahoney and his candidacy for
Congress that is gratifying and that
is his manly attitude toward his
opponent who received the nomi-
nation over him. -.
Mr.. Mahoney made a run and a
good run and now since the heat
of the ARRAY is over and the con-
ditions have simmered down to a
normal state and conservative con-
illusions may be drawn, it is evident
that the judge put up not only
hard fight but a clean fight. He
comes out like typical gentleman
and accepts defeat as manly as he
could have accepted success and
voluntarily states that he will sup
port Mr. Babcock for election just
as he Will the rest of the Republican
ticket.
Mr. Mahoney says and it is easy
TO believe him that during the
entire primary election he did not
say anything or do anything against
his opponent that could put him in
an inconsistent attitude by his now
giving him his unreserved and un-
qualified support.
That is the kind of spirit that
should command a man to the PEG
pie. Fair minded people admire a
a man who meets defeat unf1inch-
ingIy. No man can do a more
manly thing than to do unto others
as he would have had others do
unto HIM. Mahoney has made many
new friends and has drawn his old
friends closer to him

Dogs That Won't Eat Game.

'Tt's a fact" said Duluth sports
man, ''that a good game dog can't eat
game. It's taste is repugnant to him.
This is remarkable instance
of the influence of heredity.
Game dogs have been trained for gen
GRAFTON not to eat the game-the birds,
rabbits and ducks which they fetch
back to the masters. They have been
trained to consider that the eating Of
such game would be q. disgrace. And
the result has been that this moral
adherence of game, suggested to them
by their trainers, has in passing down
from one generation to another de-
velepod into an actual physical dis
taste. Thanks to this force Of hered-
ity, game dogs are now never
tempted. "-Duluth News-Tribune.

he says, "the truest instincts for music

have perhaps ever met with. They

where art is largely slave to fashion,

in technical music, but with no soul

meaning. 1 loved those far western
audiences, because with their rugged
surroundings they were natural."-

Meaning of "DOuma."

There is an interesting item in
''Notes and Queries" about the Rus
sian word ''douma." The word seems
to have been borrowed by Russia from
her Scandinavian neighbors. "Domr"
is an important term in Icelander law,
meaning court of justice-the body
of judges. In this sense it came into
use in Russia; hence the present dou-
ma is an assembly of councillors met TO
pronounce their doom or judgment.

While Prince Arthur of Connaught

Kings Most Anxious Moment.

King Edward recently said that he
spent the most exciting and nervous
moment of his life on a prairie in
Canada when he visited that country
as youth. He was in no danger of
being scalped by a red Indian or eaten
by wolves or gored by maddened
bison. His anxiety and nervousness
were simply due to his efforts to light
a match. The prince and his party
were miles away from human habita-
ton, they wanted to smoke and had
only one match between them. Lots
were cast as TO who would strike it.
The lot fell on the prince and with
great difficulty he managed to get the
light which was to supply them with
FIRE till their return to civilization

factory out put of Swiss cheese an
proximates 100000 pounds.
RICHLAND CHEDDAR REGIo

HIGHLAND CHEDDAR REGION.
The Cheddar cheese industry in the
western portion of the state continues
to center in Richland county, where it
has been developing for years, but the
success there attained has led to the
extension of this Cheudar cheese sec
ton into western Sank, southern
Veron, and northern Iowa counties.
These counties stand out prominently
as dairy area, and the growth of the
industry is emphasized by a COMPARE
son with surrounding counties, like
Crawford, western Veron, and Colum-
bia, in which no apparent factory
development is occurring.
LAKE SHORE COUNTIES STILL LEAD.
The most extensive Cheddar region
Of the state consists of the lake shore
counties, where the industry was orr
ginally established, and where the ex-
tension Of it has been continuous.
Although the distinctly lake shore
counties, like Kewaunee. Nanitowoc,
and Sheboygan. seem to have reached
their maximum factory development,
the boundaries of this cheese belt
are being steadily pushed toward the
interior, especially toward more newly
settled regions northward. 1t is high
~ probable that the lake shore cheese
belt. TO which should now be added
Shawano county, will push westward
and northward into Langlade, Oconto,
and Marathon counties. Indeed in
Marathon county already cheese in
terests are paramount.
BRICK CHEESE DISTRICT.
Wisconsin has two centers in which
foreign cheese is extensively made.
Beside the Green county district where
Swiss and limburger are manufacture
ed there is a large and developing
area with Dodge county as its center
in which brick cheese is made in large
quantities. The manufacture of this
peculiar t. pc of cheese began in Dodge
county, but is now extending north
ward into Fond du Lac and eastward
into Washington counties. The rapid
growth of the cheese interests in this
area is shown by the fact that the
cheese factories in Dodge county alone
have increased in the lst five years
from 1O2 to 12O. This district in con-
junction with the Swiss cheese section
in the southern part of the state,
makes Wisconsin the foremost state
of the union in the manufacture Ct
the foreign cheese.

An exchange says:
Mans annual relapse into ma
ture is now in being. From all
over the world come reports of
strikes and labor troubles of va
rious kinds. Eloquent orators,
representing the political
OUTS" would have us believe
that these disturbances are due
to economic ills brought about by
the ''ins," but we know better.
We have only to look into our
own hearts to understand spring
strikes. Their cause is the uni
versal desire to loaf.
This is the loafing season. 1t
is a crime against nature to work
at all, and were impressive en-
ployers to double our wages and
halve our hours of toll, we would
still revolt against industry, cas-
lily finding technicahties on which
to base excuses for walking out.
There are $50, 900 men on strike
in the United States, and most of
them walked out only last week,
after the fish began to bite.
They thought themselves very
shrewd in beginning the agitation
that led to the severance of rela.
tions with toll in the cold winter
months, and they timed it so
nicely that the "crisis" would
come with spring. But they fool
no one.
After they have had their va
cation they Will go to work again
at the same old wage. And they
will talk largely of their ''battle
for the rights of man."
They have battled for the
rights of man-to go a.fishing in
the lazy time. Why can't they
be frank and confess it?
Why should we beat about the
bush as we do? Let the govern
ment take a hand in the matter
and officially ordain that in the
