WISCONSIN cow at the White
House" ia the heading of an article
in our Wisconsin exchanges noting
the donation of Jersey by Ike Ste
phenson to the sta bles of the pres
ident's mansion. We're not 90 much
interested in that, but we should
greatly like to see Wisconsin man
in the White House. A man about
the size of Bob LaFollette. It would
mean more to the country than
would all the herds ever raised since
fortunes were fret started from
stolen timber.

American Press to give his views
on "where the newspa pers are fault
in handling public questions as I
see it," Uncle Joe Cannon winds up
strenuous effort by the statement
that to him the newspaper often
looks like the Yankees razor-made
to sell" Uncle Joe has also, likely,
made up his mind long ago that the
newspaper of today was made to
cut as we'll as sell, although he did
not mention the superiority of the
newspaper over the Yankees razor
in this respect.
IN China and Japan every acre of
land is made to produce it's full
quota of food, fuel or fabric. As one
realizes this fact and then gazes at
the endless space of waste lands in
northern Minnesota he cannot mar
vel at the high cost of living in
comparison to the cost of living in
the Orient. The tiilage of these
broad acres would do more to re-
lieve the high cost of living than
would all the tariff commissions
imagina bic and all the millions of
attendant expenditures which will
be charged against the consumer
without his knowledge.
CAN anything be more pleasant

back and forth on its great hinges;
the very walls speaking forth OF
happy hours; while at your side
stands the noble teacher who has
watched your every move, and is as
much interested in Cyour success az
you are yourself. As these pleas
ant recollections come back to one,
the eye is almost moistened as he
realizes those days are gone forever,

happy hours, as we'll. AS we sit and
contemplate that never again in

gathered in the school room and

and faith to the old school, and
whose memories are most pleasant

Fierce Fire.

Last Monday afternoon about
2:2O an alarm Of fire called out the
local department. The blaze was
across the street from the prison
enveloping s warehouse of the
Northwestern Manufacturing Com.
pany.
The residences Of Capt. Alexan-
der and the Deputy Warden were
completely destroyed, including
the warehouse on the opposite side
of the street. By dint of hard
work the Wardens residence was
saved from destruction. The wall
guard cupola next to the Warden's
residence was badly scorched. Il.
the breeze had been in the opposite
direction the man 1facturing plant
adjoining the main building of the
Northwestern Manufacturing Co.
would no doubt have been COM
pletely licked up by the flames
and the shops Of the prison would
have been in great danger.
Before, during and after the big
fire the inmates were all at work
serenely, except those called on to
help save the residences of the Of
ficials which were attacked by the
flames. Many residences on the
hill were destroyed by fire, ignited
by cinders.

A coward is man who says one

No man is born wise. He must

Did you ever put in a morning
standing on crowded street cor
ner wondering where the coffee
and' were coming from-an after
noon in a vain attempt to find any
employment that would provide
the means Of holding body and
soul together and an evening roam
ing about the city, reading the
hotel signs and cracking your heels
together to keep from freezing to
death? No? As cans Of
amusement that beats Anglicus'
blowing and sageblush grubbing
or even chasing hoe up and down

as conducive to desire ito burn
midnight oil or imbibe midnight
refreshments. Aud still, this is
simply the other side of the "back
to the land argument. The in
ducement of the average American
youth to forsake the farm is very
great, but the desire to return
home to roost and throw his feet
under dads mahogany is usually
more keea still-especially il he
lacks the kind and opportune as
sistance of some charitably inclin-
ed city friends. The chances Of
the country made youth for sue
cess in the already crowded city
is slim, indeed. Moreover, the

The Philadelphia club is trying
to "welch" on its contract with
/ Billy Murray. .Thiscontract at the
time it was signed was termed an
ironclad contract. At any rate the
Philadelphia club hired Mr.. Muir

riod of three years at large salary
In the middle of his second season
the owners Of the club became dis
satisfied with the mediocre show
ing made by the PhiIlies and at
temped to decorate Murray With
the Order Of the Tin Can. But
they couldn't pry Billy away flom
Ibis job at all and this stirred up
dissension among the players
the club finished the SEASON with
two managers,PK id Gleason acting
as chief advisor to the lnsurgent
faction. After the season was over
the franchise was transferred to
the present owners and they chose
, to ignore the validity Of Murray's
/. contra st, appointing Charley Doom
a as manager for the present season.
OF course Murray stepped aside,
8 but put the matter up to the di-
? rectors Of the National League
, and at the present writing they
: have come to no final decision,
though some of the directors are
on record as favoring settlement
with Murray. The latter means
