The Boy Escaped.

A boy in Liverpool, o., was sent by
his mother at II o'clock at night to
the house of a neighbor. The neighbor
stood in fear of robbers, and as he
heard the boy on the steps he opened
his window and pointed revolver and
threatened to shoot The boy was too
surprised to give his name, and the
man fired at him six times. Not a bull

his wits back he said:

A Notable Address.

Milwaukee Journal: John A. Ayl-
ward, candidate for governor, has
suddenly won high rank among the
Progressive leaders of the state. The
views and sentiments that he express
es in his opening campaign address,
the principles which he earnestly sup
ports, will surely appeal to the Pro
gressive and independent voters of
the state.
Mr.. Alyward, it is known, has been
steadily advancing in his political
views. His growth has been of that
slow but sure type that generally
means no turning back, no retrograde
movement from position once taken.
On the other side, it is known that his
principal opponent, Gov. Davidson,
has been steadily becoming more and
more reactionary since he parted com
pany with Senator LaFollette more
than three years ago.
The going forward of Aylward and
the going backward of Davidson
would of themselves exert great infiu-
ence upon the citizenship of the state.

For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited news
paper which commands a great circu-
lation is probaly the most potent in
fuence for good in the United States
to-day. The power for the better
things in public affairs and policies,
for instance, which is welded by such
a newspaper as The Chicago Record
Herald can scarcely be exaggerated ,
and much of that strength comes in
the case of this leading Chicago daily
from the fact that it is absolutely in
dependent, fearless and fair. 1t is
not the mouthpiece of any interest ex-
cept that of the public. The Record
Herald champions the cause of the
good, the clean, the beneficial in
every matter of city, state or national
moment. 1t is the knowledge on the
part of its readers that it cares not
whom it hits or what enemies it makes
so long as it is battling for the well
fare of the community, which gives to

fuence it enjoys. 1t gives in its

THE RISING TIDE.

There are those who become sacred
every time Bryan holds meeting and
succeeds in getting Republicans to at

which he addressed at the PlankintOn
House in this city week ago Satur-
day night was to these timorOus souls

markedly antagonistic to him political
ly have come out among his active
opponents after hearing him talk
Evening Wisconsin, Rep.
The Democrat reprints the above
editorial paragraph because it shows
what has leaked out from many
Republican sources, namely: that
thoughtful Republican partisans are
really greatly disquieted over the ag-
gressive and winning campaign which
the Democrats are waging this year
under the leadership of Bryan and
Kern. The last visit of Mr.. Bryan to
Wisconsin was successful and filed
Democrats with hope; while the visit of
Mr.. Taft was in some respects uusuc-
cessful and disappointed many Re-
puolicans. This fact is attested to by
many private letters and by plain tales

cles in the newspapers.
The truth is, there is a great spon-

Farmers Congress a Success

FARMERS congress SllSCSSSs
Over LOO delegates attended the
twenty-eighth annual Farmers Natl
onal Congress which has just closed
a week IS session at the University of
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Both in the number Of paid member
ships and in the quality of the ad-
dresses, this congress was in advance
of any previous gathering. Much
satisfaction was expressed by mem
bers at the innovation of holding the
congress at an agricultural college,
and many expressed the hope that a
similar arrangement could be made
for future meetings. The equipment
of the Wisconsin college of agricul-
ture made possible the consideration
and demonstration of important
phases of practical farming, which
were greatly appreciated by the dele
gates. Beside the addresses of the
two presidential candidates, Taft and
Bryan, the practical talks by Pres. J.
food problem, President G. r. Van
Hise of the University of Wisconsin
on the conserv alton of natural re-
sources, and the helpful discussions
and demonstrations by Dan Fl. L.
Russell, Prof. r. A. Moore, c.. G.
Humphrey, A. S. Alexander, and
other mem bers of the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture, were the features
of the programme.
The effective work of the colleges of
agriculture was commended by the
congress, and the legislatures of the
states were urged to supply these
colleges with adequate financial sup
port. In other resolutions adopted
by the congress, it was urged that
congress favor the movement for the
conservation of natural resources;
that it endorse the efforts of the ma
tional and state forestry bureaus in
the effort to preserve the forests; that
it approve the Davis bill for the es-
Establishment of state secondary
schools for industrial education.
The wives and daughters of the
members were treated to excellent
addresses by Miss Edith G. Charlton,
Iowa, on how to make farm life more
attractive for women; by Miss Bertha
D. Laws, MINES ota, on needed inn
provements in the common schools;
by Miss Helen Armstrong, Chicago,
on the need of more sanitary homes
on the farms

enter at all.

The tide has set in for Democracy
and it is hardly possible that the Re-
publican campaign manages will be
able to turn it back. They are handi-
capped in their ticket. Taft lacks in

Had a Right to Say What
They Thought.

Fennlmore Times, Rep: The candi-
dates gathered at Madison to formu-
late platform were there to tell wha-
Wisconsin stood for in matters politi-
cal, irrespective of other states or the
nation. They wers supposed to reflect
and give expression to the sentiment
existing among the Republican of
Wisconsin. They therefore clearly
had the right to adopt any tariff
plank they chose, even if it did occu-
Ply more advanced ground than that
OF the national convention.
A proper and wholesome revision of
the tariff would result in a material
saving to consumers in many lines
and cheaper many of the necessaries
of life.

conduct of affairs while speaker was
everywhere, and the President, him
self, before his position in the party
became SO high, spoke thus of Cannon,

What Cannonism Means

c Kansas City Star, Taft Rep: And
If all this means that Cannon will not
be reelected, it means also that Can
nonism, which is the real things at
stake, will be eliminated. For it
would not make matters better if some
such men as Payne ar Dalzell should
be made Cannon's successor. The
people know reactionary when they
see one, and they will insist that their
representatives in the house put a
progressive Republican in the chair.
That is to say, if the next house is
Republican, which result is by no
means certain.
