THE STATE ELECTIONS THIS
YEAR.


Only six states will have guberna-
torial elections this fall and of these
only two-New Jersey and Massachu-
setts--hold out the promise of inter
esting and exciting campaigns. It is
admitted that Maryland is CLOSE" but
the real issue in her campaign is the
Acknowledgement of the illterate
blacks. and il is not arousing any
great amount of national interest.
In Massachusetts there has been an
excessive supply OF excitement and
lieve that with a united party and a
vigorous campaign on the issue of lib
eral tariff revision and reciprocity
with Canada they could carry the state
this year. The logical candidate" on
such platform is Henry NJ. whitney,
who was candidate for lieutenant
fine run. But he is not radical enough
for one wing OF the party. and hence
the split in the Democratic conyen-
tions. the nomination of two full tick
cts. the adoption of two platforms aud
the creation of q state of confusion
and discord that. according to all tes-
timony. destroys whatever chances the
party might have had. The ballot
law commission will decide which is
the regular nominee, but 1t cannot re-
store harmony and heal wounds.
The Republicans of Massachusetts
have renominated Governor Guild,
tariff revisionist who has offended the
aggressive standpatters and strong
advocate of proper control of railroads
ard other public service corporations,
Their platform favors early evision of
the tarff on protection lines.
In New Jersey both parties have
made unusually good nominations and
adopted progressive platforms The
real. though publicly unavowed. issue
is local option in Sunday liquor sell
ing. and the name of the Democratic
candidate. Katzenbach, Is supposed 10
carrying much Significance to the he
levers in liberal Sunday laws.
In Rhode Island the issues are what
they have been In years. and the Dem
ocrats hope to hold the executive chair
OH their promises of constitutional re-
form and anti-bossism,
Kentucky and Mississippi are the
other states that will elect governors.
and the result In neither of them can
be said to be doubtful. New York
Will vote for two judges of its highest
court and members of the legislature
III other states only minor officials
will he voted for. There is consider
able talk of the bearing of these on
year elections Oh the great national
contest of next year, but there seems
TO be very little foundation of solid
for such speculation Record-Herald

A TEMPERANCE PRESCRIPTION.

How far we have become prone to
measure everything In terms of dol.
lars and cents is proved by our grow
ing looseness In using the word fail
nre." We call everything failure
which does not pan out" receipts
equal to or exceeding the expendi-
fures. That such an appraisement OF
results Is often unjust to works and
workers In light and leading is often
demonstrated to those with eyes to
see through dollars by holes punched
in them by reform. Out of many
such vivid illustrations the most vivid

run demon reellng blow before the
coming of that month which baccha-
nalian poets mourn as the saddest OF
the year. IA little too warm for whis-
key and little too cool for beer"
So strong was this faith that five
preachers, after securing a number of
money pledges. and making an enter
iainment well calculated to draw at
tendance. personally guaranteed to
cover any money deficit which might
result. Now. because there is n def
cit of $15. even these godly men join
in the cry that the temperance chau-
tauqua was IA failure

ture of this gross flesh. are not over

Looking Backward.

The death of Josiah Flynt Willard,
the we'll known writer, in Chicago this
week, calls to mind of some of the older
residents Of Edgerton incidents that &C.
Cured here many years ago. AS far back
as 40 or IS years ago there came to Ed
gerton Rev. Oliver p. Willard, a travel.
ing revivalist. He was an earnest and
successful evangelist and stirred up re-
ligious interests among our people as
had never been done before or since.
Among his converts were such weIlknown
citizens as P. G. Burdick, VIM. Clatwor-
thy and others long since gone to their
reward. He became a close friend of
Mr.. Burdick, who had son born to him
about that time, who was named Will
lard. In some respects Rev. Willard was
peculiar. He would frequently leave his
revival work and drop out of sight for
months and then return again without
giving any explanation of his absence.
On one occasion it was learned he was in
the far west driving breaking team.
Finally he left this locality and dropped
out of embrance until the published
account of the death of Josiah Flint it
was learned that he was son of Oliver
P. Willard, the revivalist It's easy to
understand therefore, why Josiah Flypt
Willard chose to follow the life of
tramp for months that he might write
up so entertainingly the results of his
experience. The brilliancy OF his father as
we'll as his rowing disposition had been
inherited

New Book on Roads.

The State Geological Survey has just
issued small bulletin on the "Rural
Highways of Wisconsin, This bulletin
is designed by the Survey to be prellm-
mary and somewhat general IN charac-
ter, as it is hoped that the study of high
ways may be continued in a more detail
ed manner. If this is done it is planned
to issue a number of pamphlets dealing
with particular phases of highway work.
The bulletin has two parts, the first OF
which deals with the fundamental prin-
ciples of road construction. In this part
the subject of proper location, different
methods of construction, road macnln-
cry, best methods of maintaining the
common country roads, and bridges, and
cuIyerts, are considered.
The second part of the book deals
with the conditions of the roads and the
present highway system of the state. In
this part some very interesting state
ments are made which were collected by
the writer from over three thousand sets
of questions which were sent out to town
clerks, farmers and rural free delivery
carriers. From this data it is very evil
dent that there is an enormous loss to
the tax payer, due to the present faulty
system under which poor methods OF
construction and waste are altogether
too common The writer very conserva-
lively estimates this loss at over mil
lion dollars year, and We can but feel
that if anyone will examine this part of
the book he will agree with the writer
that the loss is probably much more
than this. The urgent need OF doing
something 10 improve the present con
ditions is readily apparent to anyone
who has looked over the situation at all
carefully.
This book is very timely on account OF
the widely extended interest il the roads
which the people are beginning to mani
fest. 1t is issued for free distribution
by the Geological Survey and may be
obtained by sending ten cents to pay the
mailing expense.

Tobacco Notes

Nels Solverson of Viroqua passed a
few days of the week in this market.
Harry Vetterlein, who is in the state
looking after packing of new tobacco
at Cambridge, was visitor here over
Sunday.
Frank Mcintosh was down from Viro-
qua where he has charge of the packing
operations for Pretzfeld & Co.. for q
short stay with his family this week.
L. w. Scott of Boston made short
stay in this market during the week. He
was accompanied by his son, FL. w.
Scott, who will remain while the pack
ing of new goods is being put up.
Mr. Walter Scotch and VIM. M. Dill
Ion, junior members of the Scotten-Dil-
Ion Tobacco Co. of Detroit, who are
among the largest buyers of low grades
in the state, have been visiting the local

rectors who in turn selected the present

Hon. t. G. Thompson delivered two
crops of 'O6 tobacco last week. The
amount of money received per acre for
one of these crops will nave few parallels
in the state. The crop was grown by
Mr.. Hannum, one of his tenants, on II
acres of ground and Melted $3607, or a
little over $500 per acre. The other crop,
grown by Peter Nelson on seven acres,
brought $780, or nearly 1929 per acre.
Mr.. Thompson will deliver his other
crops next week. -Deerfield News.
