The Glen Flora Star gives Dis
trict Attorney Williams shot shot
for the manner in which he conduct
ed the Mettie Noll case at the re-
cent session of circuit court. Mr..
Williams has laid himself open to
criticism in previous criminal cases,
but has excused himself on the
ground of endeavoring to save the
county costs-and. indeed, along this
line he has made a very fair record
but in this particular case his plea
for leniency is costing the county
six months board for the prisoner,
whereas II he had not compromised
for a plea of guilty, the woman
would probably now be boarding
outside the county at the expense OF
the state But we do not believe In
throwing rocks where no good end
is to be accomplished-M Williams,
as any other man would have done,
has made some mistakes, but he is
not a candidate for reelection.

Heard il and Proiited Thereby.

Good news travels FAST" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Ladysmith are glad to learn that prompt

The statement that good cow may
be worth as much as 10 ordinary cows
sounds pretty big, but here are the
facts given by a dairy expert to prove
it: In one herd that was tested a profit
of SAB. so per cow per year was rea-
lized, and in another herd the profit
was So. SO per COW per year, or in other
words, cow from the good herd was
worth over 10 times as much as one
from the inferior herd and was only
one-nineteenth the trouble. Test and
weigh your milk and weed out the
shirkers.

The journal dubs j. w. CarOw a
"bolter" because of his cOnsenting
to become an independent candidate
for district attorney. The article on
the front page OF the same issue,
concerning "Silyer Joe" Conkel's
challenge to Lenroot for a joint de-
bate, would rather indicate that the
Journal had reconsidered its pre-
election statement that 1T would
support the republican nominees,
whoever they might be. 1t was an
open secret before election that,
should a certain candidate for coun-
ty office be defeated. the gang"
would throw their support to the
democratic nominee.

The defeat of Congressman Jenkins
by Irvine L. Lenroot was not wholly
unexpected and shows conclusively that
the people desire good government.
Jenkins was one of the strongest bench
men of Speaker Cannon in the House
of Representatives and the people of
his district resented the record of Jen-
kins. The right will always prevail and
in this instance the people were GER
tainly right. Republican.

WISCONSIN GOOD ENOUGH"

In these days when land promoters
are busy arousing interest in the Pan
handle, the irrigated lands of the west
and the prairies of the far north, where
broad acres invite the Industrious hus-
bandman, there is danger of overlook
ing the fact that within our own state,
in fact at our very door, are opportun-
tiles, quite as favorable as those which
tempt the emigrant to take up the
Journey of hundreds of miles. That
these lands, in remote sections of the
country, have merit few will deny,
and their promoters are to be COM
mended on the enterprise they are
showing in bringing them to the atten-
ton of the public. However, if the
owners of the vast acres of unoccupied
Wisconsin lands would show one-half as
much enterprise good lot Of immigra-
tons, which is heading for distant
points, could be kept at home.
While. lands in the older portions of
Wisconsin are selling at from 500 to
$3.50 an acre, there are thousands of
cut-over acres in the northern part of
the state, we'll suited to farming, that
are still available at a nominal price
These lands are adapted to the dairy
industry, for which Wisconsin is fam
Gus, being the second dairy state in the
union, the total value of it's dairy pro-
ducts reaching $50, 100000. Fresh
grass in abundance including the clio
vers, the alfalfa, as well as corn, oats,
potatoes and barley, may be grown in
this section, which, in the hands of in
telligent farmers, will develop into one
of marvellous wealth.
The fertility of these lands is not
the only thing to recommend them.
The fact that some of the most import
ant markets of the country lie within
easy reach adds immeasurably to their
value. Everything produced on the
farm finds ready sale if you can get
it to the market. There is no difficulty
whatever in marketing Wisconsin
grown products, whether it be in the
form of butter, cheese, pork, beef,
mutton, grain, vegetables or fruits.
Railroads gridiron the state and in a
few hours will land these products
down at the markets of St. Paul, Mil
waukee or Chicago. Here is an adj
vantage which the immigrant to re-
mote sections of the country will not
enjoy for many years. He may have
fertile soil, an ideal climate, splendid
crops and fine herds of live stock but
the long haul to market will prove a
handicap for some years to come.
Then, again, Wisconsin is a splendid
state to live in. In fact, there are no
states any better and few equally as
good. Wisconsin is, indeed, good
enough for anybody who appreciates
true worth and it will continue to grow
better with the years to come. The
man who makes his investments in
Wisconsin real estate, at going prices,
and develops it is certain to secure good
returns.
Wisconsin good enough" is a slogan
we'll worth keeping in mind when at
tractive propositions seem to loom up
in the distance. Fond du Lac Bulletin.
