A Rash PROMISE.

The reported promise of the re-
publican candidate for governor Of
Wisconsin to get married if he is
elected is a rash promise, partly be-
cause it implies a deplorable alterna
tive. namely. that he will remain a
bachelor if he is defeated. No man
should ever take n wife unless he
feels a call to matrimOny. Most men
feel that call sooner or later. The
candidates promise is rash. too, be-
cause he may not be able to fulfill
it. With the idea of marriage firmly
fixed in his mind, it's wonderful how
quickly a man will find the one and
only woman created to share his lot
Then what will happen if she says
to him: No; n man who is willing
to marry only when he has satisfied
his ambition to fill a paltry office
is no man for me-" or Excuse me,
governor, but | love another" The
more we think about the reported
rash promise Of the republican candi-
date in Wisconsin the more we re-
greet that he ever made it, if he ever
did make it, and this is not merely
another campaign lie."-New York
Times.

vastly ahead on the deal by reason of
increased population and the almost
Unreasonable increase of permanent
wealth. Today, however, everybody in
Texas is willing to ADMIT that tho
state pursued a wise policy. BY offer
ing inducements to settlers, the state
was made populous. 1t now has near
ly five million people.
And If the federal government had
followed a policy of Withholding its
public domain from settlers until a
good price" could be realized, the de-
velopment of the west would have
been so retarded that much of the
wealthy empire west of the Missouri
river would be a desert today, still
awaiting railroads and people.
But the policy of our constitutional
convention is in harmony with social
ism-and that is the main thing.

STATES INTO HAP
PINESS.

Mr.. Roosevelt processes to admire
leaders" and to hate bosses, on the
ground that il is much better to lead
men than to drive them. Why then.
should he insist that the government
at Washington should drive the states
of the union into the millennium of
conservation? Why should it not
lead them? At Hot Springs, Ark
the eX-president tackled the subject
of swamp drainage in Missouri, Ar
kansas and Louisiana. And because
the engineering problem presented
there requires interstate cooperation.
Mr. Roosevelt declares that it cannot
be solved unless the states are first
compelled by act of congress to deed
their swamp land back to the fed
eral government. Such a proposal
leads, of course, straight to the con-
gressiOnal pork barrel" 1t seems
never to have occurred to Mr.. ROOse-
welt that, in the organization Of our
government itself, as well as in the
organization of political parties, the
final sanction of order is not arbi-
trary power, but the intrinsic reason
ableneSs of the rules proposed. Ii
really is neither necessary nor per-
MISSILE that the federal government
should undertake to hammer the
states into submission to the laws
