whereas the other was known to be

1t IS therefore perhaps the best char
acter I can give my people when I re-
cord the fact, writes Mr. Riis, that
when two farmers quarreled, each sure
that he was right, they made haste to
hitch up to get first to the honest law

the quarrel. for the last in the race
was willing to make peace.
Z They used to tell of two well to do
neighbOrs who had fallen out over a

for town. Both had good teams, and
they We're well matched in the race.
For half an hour they drove silently
alongside. each on his own side of the
road, grimly urging on their horses,
but neither gaining length. At last
as the lights Of the town came into
sight, for it was evening. a trace

horses stopped. The other team whirl-

Wisconsin, At the recent election a
lady was chosen register of deeds in
Marinette county, and in Ashland one
was elected county treasurer. There is
some question under the constitution
and cur laws whether or not a woman
is eligible to hold these positions. We
believe it has been so held by the attor-
ney general in late opinion. Doubt
less test case will be submitted to the

ABUNDANCE OF LAND IN WISCONSIN,
We are informed by no less authority
than the Commissioner of immigration
of the state that there are yet in Wis
consin more than 10000, 600 acres of
undeveloped land and that it is as pro-
ductive, when put under cultivation,
as the high priced lands of adjoining
states. If this is true, why should our
people go to Canada or other distant
and more or less isolated regions in
quest of homes? Wouldn't it be well
worth while to investigate this state
ment Of an official of our neighboring
state before leaving your good old
Uncle Samuel's domain? The Wis
consin Commissioner declines to go into
the scramble for immigration that has
been prevalent more recently, but
takes the position that he can best
serve the state by appealing to the
intelligence rather than the credulity
Of homeseekers. Permanent success
rather than temporary results, is the
slogan of the Wisconsin official, who
says: "The man who comes to Wis
consin upon conviction is a positive
quantity, he who comes on guess is
a doubtful addition, let US reason to-
gether and if we have what you want,
you are the man we want This cat
ting out of the i1amboyant feature in
land development and the oack-to-the-
land movement ought to appeal to the
homeseeker whose all is involved in
his change of home. Elk.

La Crosse Chronicle: The election
of JUDsoN HARMON to be governor of
Ohio, of JOHN A. DIX to be govern
or of New York, and of WOODROW VIII
SON to be governor of New Jersey
brings into national prominence a fine
supply of democratic presidential tim
Der. In either Of these governors-elect
the democrats would have a strong
candidate for the presidency in 1912-a
candidate against whom no republican
but WILLIAM H. TAFT would have much
more than fighting chance. The
march of events makes it appear more
and more probable that upon the un-
animity with which republicans rally to
the support of President TAFT depends
their chance of naming his successor.
