Governor Woodrow Wilson has the
ear of the people and he is saying many
good things with great strength and
clearness. Here is something short
from him that ought to be had in re-
membrance:
Gov. Wilson said he was a Democrat
and not a Republican because, as he
understood it, the Republican first
principle was the H~amiltOnian attitude
better be administered by those who
had the largest stake in the community.
He said this was instanced in the pro-
tective policy, where it was held that
the country was sOlidest which had
greatest prosperity in a comparatively
limited class. But the governor didn't
think the stewardship of any one class
was broad enough to be a safe PROPOSE
ton. BY the Republican idea, as the
weather. and weather. the prosperity of
the people at large must follow, increas-
ing also. That, the governor thought,
was like standing a pyramid on its apex,
and he believed in building pyramids
from the ground up. His desire, as a
Democrat, was for the interests of the
poorer majority, with the welfare of the
moneyed few a subordinate considera-
ton. He said he had found broader
thinking for the public veal among the
men of So, 500 incomes than among the
capitalists, who couldn't but be pre-
JUDGED from knowing that much leg
i~slation benetiting the populace at large
would run counter TO their personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Benefit of Silage and Alfalfa.

To the Editor: Having been asked a
number of times as to how I like my
silo, [ submit the following: AS to the
silo itself, it seems to be right in every
respect; and as to the feed value Of the
silage [ would give the following
figures:
In 1910 six COWS were fed corn fodder
part of the time, and corn slower the
rest of the time, and timothy hay all Of
the time.
In 1911, they were fed alfalfa hay and
silage, Ebut only one-half a feed Of
silage because I wanted to make it
hold out until grass comes.
The product from six COWS during
January and February 1910 was 1882
pounds of milk, 1872 pounds of butter
fat.
The product during the months of
January and February 1911 from the
same COWS was 5237 pounds Of milk
259 pounds butter fat.
This was an increase of 1905 pounds
of milk or II pounds of butter fat,
which is equal to 80 pounds of market
able butter. FRED. VIVIAN.

Road Improvement at
Lancaster.

The Teller: Pigeon hill just south of
the city of Lancaster, on the main road
between Lancaster and PotOsi and
Platteville, will be greatly improved the
coming summer. On Monday a petition
was circulated by Mr.. John Moore
house Of South Lancaster among the
residents of the south town and also
among the business men of Lancaster,
which was also a subscription paper.
A fund amounting to 1915 was raised
in a short time and the petition asked
the south town to raise $500 to use
with the amount to be raised by snb-
scription, the money all to be used in
cutting down the steep grades on Pigeon
hill and making a grade cross the
bottom so as to improve the hill, make
it less steep, and filling up and mac
adamizing the low hollow. At the town
meeting Tuesday afternoon the amount
of $500 was raised by taxation condition
al on $500 being raised by subscription.
So hat at least 81, 900 will be spent the
coming season on improving what is
known as Pigeon hill just south of the
CITY.

Democracy is gaining ground. This
is the story told by the Independent
press Of the country. Representative
government is becoming more repre-
sentative. The more democratic men
in all parties are making their influence
felt for good. The Democratic party is
coming to it's own again. The Spring
field Republican, an Independent news
paper Of high standing, says;
at was pointed out at the beginning
Of the year that the coming elections OF
democratic United States senators in
several northern states, as SUCCESSORS to
republicans, would afford an exceptional
test Of the present capacity, spirit and
intentions Of the democratic party.
Those elections have now been accom-
plished, with the breaking Of the New
York deadlock, and it becomes possible
to take account of stock. The three
most important elections were, Of
course, in New York, New Jersey and
Ohio, Maine, West Virginia and Mon
tana attracting much less public atten-
ton. The net result III the six states
is fairly r~eassuring. In Ohio and New
Jersey, Senator'S elect POmerene n
MARITIME represent the progressive ele-
ments Of the party most decidedly, while
in New York it was possible to force
Murphy to a compromise that has pro
duced a senator much less obnoxious to
progressives and reformers than his
original choice. In Maine the choice
made was excellent, and in Montana
the democratic senator chosen is ever
welcomed with eulogies by one Of the
leading weekly organs of the insurgent
republicans. In West Virginia the
outcome was evidently less satisfactory
than in any of the other democratic
states. Nowhere, however, has a
northern democrat been elected to the
Senate so Objectionable as was Senator
Edward Murphy of Troy, N. Y, directly
after Mr.. Cleveland's second election to
the presidency in 1892, in defiance of
Mr.. Cleveland's well known wishes.

Senator O'GOrlnan.

Washington letter to Brooklyn Eagle:
"Who is O'Gorman?" has been a
common question ever since his election.
New York Democrats. whenever they
encounter it, lose no time in telling
their party associates who the judge is.
They speak of him in the highest terms
and predict that he will make a fine re
cord at the capitol. Representative
Sulzer says that Senator O'Gorman's
election will do more toward putting
New York state in the Democratic col
umn in 1912 than any other that could
have been made. All of the New York
Democrats seem to be agreed that
O'Gorman was the best possible solution
of a difficult problem. Senator O'Gor-
mans announcement that he is in favor
of direct election of senators is of par
ticular interest to some of the old fash
Toned constitutional lawyers in the up
per house, who are against it. The
proposition was defeated by only six
votes at the last session and the new
senator will furnish one of the votes
that probably will pass it in the new
congress. His vote on this proposition
will annul that of Senator Root, who is
on record as being strongly opposed to it.
