Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers Of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords. /,
AS matter of fact we have ath.
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter Of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it. is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack

A Good Record.

The only satisfactory criterion for d
mans future action is to be obtained by
making an examination Of his past
record. Prof. Hooper, candidate for
State Superintendent Of Public Instruc
ton, stands upon his record, a record of
achievement which is unsurpassed by
any other educator Of his age. His
varied experience in all branches of ed
vocational work in this state, makes him
prominently fitted ard qualified to fill
the position as Superintendent Of Public
instruction. In all Of his position as
an educator, and in all undertakings in
which he has been engaged, he has been
a success. AS a student, as teacher
as a business man and as a Superin
tendent he has shown a wonderful pow
CT to do things. He has been an untir
ing worker along educational lines and
his work has always been productive Of
good results.
When we elect for State Superintend
ent of Public instruction a man who
has received the training and experience
and who possesses all the natural quail
tiles requisite for a successful Superin
tendent, such as we find in Mr.. Hooper,
the people Of this state need have no
fear for the welfare Of our public school

State Officials PerniciOusly Active
in Politics.

Fennimore Times: The Senatorial
investigation, aside from the disclosure
of immense sums of money used in the
primary campaign, has also brought
out with startling force the pernicious
activity in politics of certain state Off
GERS and state departments; political
activity that has been suspected all
along. but which has never been offici-
ally put on record until now These
disclosures are certainly pronounced
enough to leave absolutely no question
any more than state officers, supposed
to be devoting their time TO the duties
of their Office and drawing pay from the
state, have spent their time and the
money of the state in other directions.
They have admitted On the stand that
the work of their departments has been
secondary to the political work they
did. If these offices are of no more i'm
portance than TO pay the incumbents OF
them a good fat salary at the expense
of the state, they ought TO be abolished
In the meantime the governor might
well ask for the resignation of the men
by their own statements convicted Of
political activity. It's a good thing tC
have moral awakening in politics once
in a while.

THE UNIV Err s / T Y OF
VISION SIN.

The Democrat has frequently said
with gladness a good word for the gen
eral course Of Assemblyman Roethe as
a lawmaker But in one important
matter he has gone wrong, and deserves
therefor adverse criticism. He rails at
the University Of Wisconsin and stub
bornly opposes the appropriations rem
dered necessary by the very remarkable
growth Of this great institution Of pub
lie learning But in this regard Mr..
ROethe's view point is wrong, and the
people Of southwestern Wisconsin,
whom he, in some measure represents,
ought to plainly and strongly tell him
so. Public education promotes the
public welfare, is worth all it costs,
and ought to be literally supported by
the state The old refrain used to be,
Uncle Sam is rich enough to give US
us ali farm" The farms from the
public domain have been largely pre-
empted But the state can yet give
every ambitious, studious boy or girl a
liberal education. And the state ought
to do it as a privilege, and not grudg
ingly, or Of necessity
If the great land properties with
which the University Of Wisconsin was
endowed by the national government
had been rightly managed from the
start the income from this source would
be vastly greater than it is at the pres
ent time.
TO those Legislators who are raising a
hue and cry about extravaganza in the
management Of the University the Dem
ocrat would commend the long headed
craftsmanship Of the late Senator Will
lam f. Villas. He knew we'll the value
Of money, and never used it wastefully
The practical political workers never
found him an easy mark. He did not,
nor would not, buy his election as Uni
ted States Senator, "A position which he
filled with honor to himself, and to
the state Of Wisconsin, and with great
benefit to the nation. But he was ever
liberal to the states greatest educa-
tional institution. When, in 1894, he
consented to be a candidate for mem
Der of assembly, it was mainly for the
purpose of being helpful to his alma
mater. And when his great and useful
life closed, it was found that his vast
private fortune was set aside for the
same good object for which in his life
time he favored the appropriation of
public funds.
One of the greatest duties which the
people have to perform is to provide for
the growing needs of the public schools,
from the lowest to the highest. 1t is
frequently said by those who would
withhold support from the University
that they would prefer to have the
the common schools. But, aside from
the permanent school fund incomes, the
support of the common schools ought
TO be local matter. And it is worthy
of note that those localities which are
most liberal in supporting their com
mon schools are most loyal to the states
higher educational institutions.
1t is to be hoped that Assemblyman
Whitman of Iowa county will make
himself heard on the side of President
Van Hise and others who want the state
of Wisconsin to come up to the full
measure of its opportunity in the mat
ter of public education.
Let progressive policy prevail in
regard to the University.
