Anti-Saloon League to Take
Part in Fight for Nomina-
tion of Candidates
TO WORK IN EVERY COUNTY

Ine trustees OF the Wisconsin Anti
Saloon league at the regular session
held in Milwaukee on Wednesday an
nounced that the organization would
take part in the primary campaign over
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor. Until yesterday the trustees had
declared that the league would take
no action in the gubernatoriaI cam
paign, but the league has decided to
change its position by reason of the
activity of the liquor interests in the
coming campaign.
Rev. U. G. Humphrey, state superin-
tendent of the league, declared that the
brewing interests had been instrument
tai in having large number of friends
of county option urged to enter the
gubernatorial field with the idea of
uniting on an opponent of county OPP
tion and securing his nomination be-
cause of the multiplicity of candidates
favorable to the issue
( This fact, Mr.. Humphrey declared,
placed the Anti-Saloon league people
in a position where they would be COM
PEELED to announce their support of
candidate and make a fight for his
nomination.
Although no names were mentioned
by Mr.. Humphrey in regard to the
candidate whom he considers the liquor
interests will support, there can be no
question he deems that State Senator
E. T. Fairchild Of Milwaukee will re-
ceive the support Of the liquor people
because of the fact he is the only can
didate in the field who has as yet an
nounced in his platform his opposition
to county option. Furthermore, &C.
cording to Mr.. Humphrey, the oppon-
ents of county option have announced
that if friend of county option should
be nominated on the Republican ticket
his election will be opposed by them
at the polls.
The trustees or other officers of the
league have not announced which can
didate for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination will receive the support of
the league. Two or three candidates
have announced themselves as being in
favor of county option and are seeking
the support of those favoring such
law being passed by the state legisla-
ture.
All candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor are anxlously
awaiting news from Madison as it is
expected that Governor Davidson will
soon announce whether or not he will
be candidate to succeed himself. All
candidates now in the field fear David
son as candidate and they have en-
deavored to have him enter the field
against Senator LaFollette. Governor
Davidson would be the strongest of all
candidates who have so far announced
themselves for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
Since the visit to the governor Of
that committee of editors which waited
on him two weeks ago some very close
friends of the governor have been IN
viting him to make the run Among
them can be named Senator John M.
Whitehead of GAINESVILLE and E. H. In
gram of Eau Claire.

Every politician who gives out an
interview these days believes that the
county option campaign "should be
kept separate from the state campaign Z
but they will soon have to change their
tune and admit that the county option
issue is already very much a part of
the state campaign and is becoming
more prominent every day.

PLANS EXHIBITED.

During the inspection of the note
books Friday afternoon Mr.. Edward F.
Nei1d architect of the handsome high
school building soon to be erected here,
and his assistant Mr.. Charles Owen
visited the school by request of Super
intendent Byrd and exhibited the plans
for the building, which were greatly
admired by the great crowd of visitors.
Plan of the Homer High School build
ing was also shown by Mr.. Neild. A
beautiful, conlmodious two story build
ing which will be credit to the town.
Special pride was felt by Superin-
tendent Byrd in the presentation of the
architects plans, as the young men are
both graduates of the Central High
School, and the steady rise in their pro-
fession is credit to the school where
the foundation work was laid. Success
to them in their promising careers.
Miss Julia Rocheford, principal of the
high school at Mer Rouge, who was the
guest of Mrs Frank Busby during the
conference left Friday evening for Nat
chitoches where she will visit Mrs. c.

1t was like a chautauqua meeting to
see so many enthusiastic educators to-
gether as were assembled at the central
school last week. Far away Tangipa-
hoa0St. James, Calcasieu, Lake Arthur
were represented the Evangeline coun-
try and the Florida parishes with big
contingent from the hill parishes It
was indeed gathering of the clans
that made some of us feel, to look back
over the years, that much had been &C
complished for the permanent good of
the children, whose lives are largely
nodded in the schools of the State.
There were few present who be-
longed to that pioneer period in edu-
cation, when the interest of the school
and the community were not identical,
when the school lived as it could, and
the community as it would. There was
no feeling of interdependence and the
pedagogue had a lonesome time trying
to arouse public sentiment on the ques-
ton most vital to them-the schools for
their children.
Time passes-and with it many of the
faithful workers that have made the
new conditions possible. Good school
buildings amply furnished, filled with
happy young workers, and guiding, di-
recting encouraging the work a big
corps of faithful teachers. A laudable
animate them, each desiring
to make his school the best, and so the
good work of educating the child goes
on. In spite of predatory attacks of
boil weevil and the angry rush of in
vading waters, and financial panic, the
schools have prospered and the coun-
try is safe.

FACTS ABOUT NICARAGUA.


Nicaragua is nearly as large as New
England, but its total population is only
100000. It reaches from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Five-sixths of the popula-
ton are on the Pacific side. The city of
Leon, the former capital, has 10000
people, Managua the present capital has
10000. The principal seaport on the
Pacific side is Corinto, with only 1000.
On the Atlantic slope the only industry
is the raising of bananas, principally
for the American market. Bluefelds is
the principal port with 5000 people
Greytown has 1000.
The country has a great variety of
climate due to the different elevations.
In the eastern part it is low and very
hot, in the central and western part it
is elevated and delightful.

REASONS FOR TREE PLANTING.

REASONS FOR TREE PLANTING.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, the best author
1ty in the United States on the timber
supply, states that at the present rate
of timber cutting the supply on govern
ment reserves and private holdings
would be exhausted in twenty years.
Two plans are suggested by Mr.. Pin
chot-to check the excessive consunlp-
ton of our timber, and to provide a
supply when it is gone, or find some
material that will take its place. The
process of reforesting the land laid
bare by the wood cutters is slow. and
this is not altogether the work ,of the
government. A more general and con
certed effort to renew the supply of
timber is necessary. Mr.. Pinchot SAYS
that one-ffth of the forest area is in
government reserves, but the privately
owned timber lands are better than
those of the government.
In its efforts to prevent the complete
destruction of our forests, therefore,
not only the Federal government, but
the State governments, which have I'M
dertaken this work, should receive the
fullest measure of popular support.
The destruction of our forests would
mean, not only great economic loss,
but would exert dangerous influence
on our climatic conditions. Every one
who plants tree confers benefit upon
the world.
