MIR. CANNON A PATRIOT.
Manchester Press,)

No man in public life in this coun-
try has been more roundly abused, and
with less reason, than Speaker Cam
non. He is made out as subversive
of all that Is characteristic OF the
square DEAL" as a reactionary and
hacker Of predatory interests. AS a
matter of fact Mr.. Cannon is a patri-
otto American who, as a member Of
the house, has safeguarded the treas
ury OF the United States from slick
onslaughts by genteel looters, who has
stood consistently for reform along
sensible and conservative lines, and
who has too brave a heart to be intimI-
dated either by the threats of his foes
or the buster of an ignorant press.
The people of this country have a great
deal to thank honest Joe" Cannon for.
but it is not probable that he will be
Justly and fairly estimated until he
has passed on.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Successor.

(hanSaS C1ly SldF)
1t will be wholly unnecessary for
President Roosevelt to prosecute for
libel those papers that have deliber-
ately misrepresented the facts in con-
nection with the purchase of rights
and properties of the French Panama
company 1t is natural that Mr.. Roose-
welt should resent with intense feel
ing any aspersions on his competency
or insight in connection with a trans
action which he regards as the crown
ing achievement of his administration.
But the charges made, especially in
view of their source and the political
exigencies under which they were pub
lished, have made little or no Impress
ion on the country. The people are not
disposed to distrust the presidents
thoroughness i'll such a matter, much
less his motives or his integrity And
since the facts in the case are SO easily
obtainable, the records so free of ac-
cess, Mr. Roosevelt can we'll afford to
bide his time, for time will surely con-
found his accusers.
Those opposed to the Panama canal
have long and jealousy tried to find "a
bug under the chip The real bug, "
however, WAS SlluSlE HoUaeu ui.Di .iio
rival proposition of the longer and all
most impossible canal route, the one
advocated by the trans-continental
railroads, not with the hope that it
would be USED for canal, but that it
would be adopted and then be found to
be impracticable. The manifest purpose
of this opposition was to prevent or
delay the construction of the canal.
The railroads had obstructed canal ne
gotiations for half a century, and they
hoped to- delay the inevitable another
half century. And but for the advent of
a. president who was ready to seize an
opportunity to circumvent them they
probably would have succeeded.

The term harmony" as applied to

can hardly be assumed to mean that all

Of harmony program. It's editorial
columns will hardly be introduced In
evidence of a surrender Of principle or
an abandonment of conviction. IT it

more and more express conviction and
less and less invite acrimonious con-

fractional intensity which so much
involved Iowa republicans finally rep-
resented more of prejudice than princi-s
pie, and neither side had any monopoly
in perversion. IT came to pass that
good men were nearly ruined, small
men were given exaggerated proper
lions, and meanwhile many Of the bet
ter purposes of politics and affairs were
dwarfed and misdirected while bitter
ness strained personal relations and
minimized the usefulness Of strong
men and great party. From the fur
Their exercise Of such political activity
Good Lord deliver us.
In the fortunes Of politics we have
reached point where both contending
forces are disposed to lay down the
arms of factional warfare and deal
with public men and public issues upon
their respective merits. Nobody whose
opinion is worth considering believes
this means that virility and conviction
shall be sacrificed upon the altar of
emasculated harmony. Such harmony
as is worth while can come only thru
a larger recognition Of individual worth
and opinion and In clearer vision as to
the better purposes of political organi-
cation and personal activity. In the
better day Of this desired consumma-
ton it is not important to know more
of a man than that he is patriotic and
worthy and well qualified or OF an issue
that it is right and wise and practical.

A PROPHECY FOR WISCONSIN.

Within twenty-five years Wisconsin
will have population of 5000, 900, .
said w. H. Hatten at the Plankington
house. THAT is only a prediction of
mine, he continued, "but / believe il
will come true. Wisconsin can easily
support population of that size. Its
agricultural interests are such as EN-
ploy large number of people Take
dairying, for instance or the raising of
vegetables, which is quite a business
here, and just see the number of peo-
pie who are required in those lines
We often forget the place Wisconsin
occupies as state for growing vege-
tables, potatoes, cabbages, peas, toma-
toes, corn, are all largely grown here
anG every one of these crops demands
many people to look after it. So the
state can support larger population
than many others where they raise
gram. There one man with reaper
can look after many acres and little
labor is needed, but with Wisconsin s
diversified industries it is different.
Another thing, am firmly convinced
that Wisconsin is one Of the best states
in the union for any one who wishes to
go into farming. have Travelled ex-
tensively throughout the country and
observed conditions everywhere and it
is my earnest belief that to take 100
men and place them anywhere on farms
in the different states, out west for
instance, and then put the same num-
Der on farms in Wisconsin and at the
end of ten years the 100 in Wisconsin
will be able to buy up all the others and
then have money in the bank. We do
not realize what a great state we have
here until we get away and compare it
with other states. Then we find that
II we would j list remain right at home
we could, with the same industry and
capital, do much better here than we
could anywhere else. In this spe' b
from experience and observation and
not from feeling of blind favoritism
for my own state. There is plenty of
good land yet to be had in Wisconsin
and If people would consult their inter
ests they would remain right here. -

AN IMPORTANT STATE ANNIVERSARY.

The state of Wisconsin had birth
day May 30th, it being just sixty years
since she was admitted to the Union.
In territorial times the town of Belmont
was the capital and Nelson Dewey held
office there as the first governor. Lat
er the capital was changed to Burling-
ton and in lS4S it was removed to Madi-
son.
The territory of Wisconsin was es-
tablished ii 1896, the name being de-
rived f1o,u lis principal river. Ii is an
Indian name. the exact meaning of
what is unknown, popular writers are
fond of saying that it signifies gather
ing of the waters" or meeting of the
waters, A." although there is no warrant
for this. The earliest known French
,orm of the word is 'Misconsing, "
which gradually became crystallized into
"Ouisconsin, When English language
became dominant it was necessary to
change the spelling in order to perserve
the sound; it thus, at first, became
'Wlskinsan" or "Wiscongonsin, but
finally by official action, Wisconsin. 4"
After ten years of territorial exist
ence, popular sentiment had been edu-
Gated and to a general desire for state
hood. On April Il. ls47. the people
voted 10y large majority to take the
steps necessary for the organization of
state government and in the sarne
year the first constitutional convention
was held. Another convention was
held from December Is to February |,
lS4S, and on March Is the people voted
on the constitution which had been adopt
ed. In May the bill admitting Wis
consm as state passed Congress and
it was signed by the President on Msy
-. On Jane :. Gov Nelson Dewey and
his fellow officials were sworn in' Office
