JUST LIKE WISCONSIN,.

Hoke Smith, governor of Georgia,
compelled the senate of that state to
pass a railroad regulation act in
compliance with the party pledge.
He did it against the will of the
majority of the senate because they
were afraid of the people. The
railroad agents on the floor of the
senate shouted coercion and rallied
against lobbyists and denounced the
governor, but had not one word to
say against the lobbyists of the rail-
roads. The story reads like the
history of legislation in Wisconsin
in recent years. 1t could not be
different. The tactics of results
will be the same everywhere
Give the people little time and
the results will be the same every
where. Good laws which will not
iniure the railroads, but will insure
Justice to the people.

Always Grumbling.

The Courier of Prairie du Chen Is
always grumbling about something.
The following article is credited to
them. The Herald cannot see but
that the papers are just as full OF
news and the wheels of industry
still see fit to turn and the general
public" does not seem to mind the
strike in the least. Only one thing
seems absolutely certain about the
strike of the telegraph operators,
and that is that the public is getting
the worst of it. The telegraph IS
peculiarly the public service corpora
ton, and strike of the hurry-up
lines is much the same thing to the
business community or world as
though there should be a general
tie up of the postal service. The
big telegraph companies will not
suffer at all by the strike. It will
merely be a question with them of
paying few dollars less in divi-
dends, and the officials will not eat
a meal less or smoke any poorer
cigars. The operators and their
families may suffer a little, con-
siderably perhaps, if they lost.
But the business world will suffer
a great deal and the whole trade of
the country will be hurt. Whether
the demands of the striking opera
tors are Just or not, it is hard to say.
The issue has not been clearly de-
fined by either side. Both have in
dulged in the generalities of man
who is not quite sure of his case.
But both the operators and the COM
panles may be sure of one thing,
and that is that they are driving
the long suffering public nearer to
government ownership by their big
family row. OF course there is no
immediate prospect of such a solu-
ton of the difficulty, but every dis
pute between labor and capital in
which the public is hurt drives that
public nearer to experimenting
remedy that may or may not be
worse than the disease.

Fight Potato Slight. EE

Spraying experiments for the
prevention of early blight of pota-
toes now being carried on in Wau-
paca, Waushara, and Burnett coun-
ties by the department of Horticul-
ture of the University of Wisconsin
College of Agriculture are progress
ing nicely. While indications thus
far show that the blight is present
in the fields in these districts. it is
somewhat early to predict what
damage will result, as the progress
of the disease depends largely upon
weather conditions. Wet weather
alternating with hot periods is
favorable to the development of the
blight. From indications so far.
the potato beetle is not as numerous
in the state as last year. The present
indications are for an average crop.
The Horticultural department of
the University of Wisconsin Exper-
iment Station is warning farmers
against buying the "Tree raspberry
bushes which nursey agent
claims have the endorsement of the
Experiment Station authorities.
Claims of this sort are commonly
made by agents without the know
ledge of any one connected with the
Station. 1t has been the policy of
the Horticultural department not to
recommend novelties for it has al
ways advised the farmers of the
state to purchase only known vari-
cites and let the Experiment Station
test the merits of the new varieties.
AS the Horticultural department
has not tried the stree raspberry
and has not had this plant brought
to It's attention, any claims that a
recommendation of this novelty has
been obtained from the university
authorities is false.

BREAKING HOME TIES.

Have you ever thought how diff

something in this that makes us for

we write to brother or sister? We
dare say if you sit down to count
the days, it has been months and
perhaps years. Once in a while a
letter passes telling of the old love
and asking to be forgiven for not
writing sooner, and then long 81

your fingers tremble as you tear

You go away by yourself and shed
a few scald1ng tears and regret a
thousand times your negligence to
the dear ones. 1t is now too late to
do better by that mother or sister in
the days to come. This great broad
world gets too far apart. The duties
of life so thoroughly absorb our time
that we forget things we should re-

September 18th, the State Geologi-

struction a model macadam road
such as would be built on a country
highway. They have been granted
the use OF some of the best modern
road machinery by the manufactur.
ers, and expert operators will be in
charge. It is likely that they will
arrange to have the stone crushed
right on the grounds so that the
whole operation of road BUILDING
from start to finish can be observed.
With expert road builders in
charge of the work willing to an.
swer questions and explain why
each particular thing is done Just as
it is, every one who attends should
leave with more definite idea of
practical road building.
1t will be of interest to those who
are going to the convention to know
that MIR. John Stahl, president of the
Farmers National Congress, has
promised to be present and take
part.

ers throughout the state are taking
