NO CONSCRI?TION NEEDED

Gen. Fred Grant, the Son of his
Father" recommends conscription
in order to fill the regular army to
the maximum number. The idea
of con scription in time of peace is
repugnant to every true American
and would be move to place al
most unlimited power in the hands
of the executive. With the state
militia to draw on, if the necessity
demands, is ample for any and all
emergencies. And then, if we, as
a nation, mind our own business,
the standing army of 90, 900 is suf-
ficient for local protection and en-
forcement of law. Should the pay
of privates in the army be rails. d
proportionately to that of the Of
hcers and the men in the ranks
given opportunity to advance, there
would be no difficulty in securing
enliStmentS.

ABOUT THE SENATORSHIP

The talk of preventing the re-
election of Robert M. LaFollette
to the United States senate is all
tomfoolery. AT the primary cleo
ton September 6, he was the choice
of an overwhelming majority of the
republican voters N the state and
the legislature should carry into
effect the verdict of the voters re-
CARELESS of personal feelings in the
matter. The fact, that Senator La
Toilette has heretofore disregarded
the primary law and opposed men
who had been nominated, cuts no
figure in the controversy. The
only question involved is: What
is Right! The writer is not an ar
dent admirer of the senior senator,
and is aware Of the fact, that he
has not always 'toted" fair in pol
itics and done things that did not
meet the approval of the writer,
but he is nevertheless man of
marked ability who has a national
reputation, and as a matter of state
pride he should be returned. AS
long as he is in the senate Wiscon-
sin is on the map, and it is earn
estly hoped that hereafter, he will
stand for constructive and not de-
structive legislation and work for
the people more and self less.

THOUGHTS BY TIE WAY

Our senior senator has been lis
tenIng, and at last reached the con-
c1usion that the country needs and
demands a parcel post law, and
will favor the passage of such a
law at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The editor of the Leader
has favored such law for a long
time and consequently is in -har-
mony with the senator and most
heartily commends his inclination
to fight for such law. There is
only one way to defeat it, and that
is for the express companies to re-
duce their charges about fifty per
cent. It light reduce their divi-
dends, yet, they would receive suf-
fcient to cover all investments, in
Guiding the millions of dollars of
watered stock upon which the peo-
pie have been paying dividends for
many years.

and cupidity, promising conditions
unattainable and utopia-that can
never be realized by the means they
suggest. The result has been that
hundreds of thousands of people
have lost confidence in the republi-

from voting, or voted the demo

surgents. That there must be a

to all thinking republicans, should
it be successful in the next presi-
Dental election. A progressive
must be the standard bearer, one
who is broad and sane in his opin-
ions and who thinks more of his
party and country than any faction.
Only one man at the present time
measures up to such a standard and
his name is William H. Taft. If
the party cannot unite on him, the
next president will be a democrat.

ests in the country and conserva-

a whole, it is a very able message
and shows that the chief executive
is trying hard to work for the best
interests of the people.

MARY BAKER EDDY

The following editorial, taken
from the Milwaukee Daily News,
expresses our sentiments so well.
that we publish it for the benefit of
our readers:
History is full of the tales of
women whose influence has been a
power in the affairs of men. But.
strange as it may seem, by far
the greatest number OF those who
have risen on the written pages of
history above their power through
charms of person, and through
their influence with men of power.
But the leading woman of her
time, and among the greatest in
history, rose to her high place
through the power of that which is
most eternal in mankind-thought.
Mrs. Eddy was not born to
power, nor did she seek the inHu-
ence OF those who were so born
by the force of the thought that
she expressed and lived has she at.
tanned the high place she holds TO-
day, and by its force will she live
NO matter what individuals NAV
think OF the system of thought that
pears her name, it is an acknowl-
edged power for good among man
KIND and thousands have found
comfort and relief through its
teachings.
In the end man is of a RELIGIOUS
nature, awed and mystifed bv the
spiritual world, seeking explanat-
ions of the apparent inconsistencies
and OF the mystery of religious
thought and history. Clothed ever
IN the mystery of life and facing
the mystery of death, the influence
of the unknown, and the desire for
knowledge, are the central forces
OF what we call life. Mrs. Eddy
has tried to solve some of those
mysteries and to explain the incon-
sistencies and her philosophy has
put a new thought in mems minds;
has shown that the greatest power
after all is not doctrines, creeds,
tears, or writings, but thought, the
power of the mind.
Mrs. Eddy, the woman, the phys
ical being, is dead. But the thought,
the practical application of the
eternal goodness of God she taught
IN her thought, lives, the power of
her thought goes on, and even after
her name is forgotten, her features
no more remembered, her thought
will live.

FIRING a u inch gun from the depths
Of a 20 foot pit and hitting a target
which they are unable to see is
feat accomplished in Uncle Sans artil-
lery service by the mortar men out at
Fort McKinnon, overlooking the Golden
gate Comparatively few people know
anything of the marvellous system of
target shooting which in mortar prac-
tice has well nigh been brought TO
perfection. By mathematical calcula-

The guns are arranged four in pit,
there being two pits to battery The
pits or emplacements are about so
yards apart and are square in shape,
with floors and lower walls Of con-
crete. the latter being about three feet
IN height. From the crest Of the con-
crete an earth embankment rises up
ward and outward some 20 feet at an
angle OF 80 degrees. IN each corner
Of the pit is stationed one Of the big
mortar guns, resting on floor plates of
iron. These plates are divided into two
distinct circles. the gun itself resting
on the inner circle, which is revolving,
the outer one being stationary. On the
latter is what is known as the azimuth
circle, or scale. while the azimuth
pointer is attached TO the inside circle
or racer. BY means Of this scale and
pointer the direction Of the target is
placed. on the side Of the gun is fas-
tened p quadrant. which is used TO
determine the angie Of elevation at
which the shot should be fired and is
similar TO that on an ordinary gun.
No titled beauty is waited upon more
sssiduOusly than this same mortar gun.
Each has a detachment consisting Of
three nou-commissioned officers and 10
privates. A man known as the gun
pointer is in charge Of a detachment,
while the other two officers fill the
duties Of aZimuth setter and elevation

y NE OF Cslifornia's most valuable
assets is its viticultural industry,
which today represents an invest
msnt Of over sloO.00O.O0o, from which
an annual revenue of s25.0O0,ooo is OBJ
aimed. More than 275,OO0 acres are
devoted TO grape growing, over half Of
which are confined TO wine grapes
During the lastAl0 years IT is estimated
that the manufacture Of California
wines has almost doubled. In 1900 the
output was about 25,OO0,00o gallons, of
which about l5.000,00o was dry wines
and 100000 sweet wines. The yield
in 1909 was nearly 45.00O,0oO gallons.
The production of sweet wines was the
greatest in the history Of the industry,
namely 17,9S3,465 gallons, while the
dry wine output totaled about 27,0o0,-
