Whitman, the Man.

Not single good reason has been
advanced why Hon. Plat Whitman
should not be re-nominated and re-
elected to the assembly; and besides
that there is the custom of giving a
man second term in office when at all
competent and reliable. Mr.. Whitman
supported Stephenson for u. S. Senator
because the primary so dictated, and in
so doing he was merely loyal to the
verdict of the ballot box and TO law.
Something has been said about the
three Democratic members of the legis-
Iature who remained away and made it
possible for Stephenson to win out If
they were paid for so doing, the dis
grace is on them and Stephenson, and
not on Whitman, as some degraded and
wilfully deceptive spirit would have
you believe. Mr.. Whitman's very ma
ture would revolt at such a procedure
and cause him to bolt did he know Of
such deal. That he is a man of honor
in politics and otherwise has been prov
en- through every stage Of his life, the
whole of which has been spent in Iowa

FAIR Is OPENED.
PROSPECTS GOOD.
Lots OF Entries, Lots of peo-
pie, Lots of Enthusiasm.

The Southwestern Wisconsin Fair
for 1910, the fortieth in the history of
the association. opened in this city as
the Tribune goes to press with this
issue.
Prospects are very encouraging and
nothing but inclement weather can bar
out success. Entries are numerous,
people hailing from all sections, near
and far, are on hand. and the crowd
is swelling hourly. The racing depart
ment never had as many contenders,
which fact togther with the great in
terest in the base bali games insure
exciting sport. The attractions are
sure to prove rare and thrilling, Back
of all this an enthusiasm on every hand
ranging above par
The hot, dry season through which
we have Just passed, and which, by the
way, is the worst of the kind expert
enced in southwestern Wisconsin in
twenty years, will have a perceptible
effect on the fruit and vegetable de-
partments. In short there will be few
er pumpkins, etc. But this particular
fair association has been such benefi-
cial educator along all lines these many
years that a triAe like a pumpkin will
not be missed.
Miss the fair and you will miss a rare
opportunity to renew friendships, learn
something new and to realize that life
is worth living.

Manufacturing drink of ice water
with nothing cooler than the suns rays
and dry, tropical air would probably
seem under the province of the sna-
gician to an easterner who had never
travelled farther southwest over his
native land than the plains of Colo
rado. 1t is nevertheless a fact, how
ever, that by these ever available
agencies the greater part of the popu-
lation of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico manufacture their ice water.
This not only serves for drinking pur-
poses. but also provides an efficient
medium for the ordinary requirements
OF refrigeration--for in the cruder sec
tions of the great southwest the arti-
fetal production OF ice is still a tribe
too costly to be feasible.
