The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-07-19
NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The tobacco growers of Wisconsin
have succeeded in getting out about all
the intended acreage which is gener-
ally conceded to be slight increase
over that of a year ago somewhere in
the vicinity of 4O,O 900 acres in the state.
While there is quite disparity in the
growing fields as to size. the crop is
making good headway. Recent heavy
rains have filled the soil with an abun-
dance of moisture and is sure to give
the earlier fields chance to obtain the
normal growth. The general outlook
is fully up to the standard of other
years at this date.
A new tobacco stripping and booking
machine has come upon the market
that seems destined to become of great
assistance to the cigar manufacturer,
as it cuts the cost of preparing tobacco
about half in two. The machine not
only removes the stem but books the
leaf ready for the table, while the price
of the machine is within the reach of
even the smaller factories. Heretofore
stripping machines have been leased
rather than sold and monopoly thus
maintained.

Unless present plans careful y
worked out by prominent railroad
builders miscarry oklahoma will
have more new miles of road com
pleted at the close Of next year than

According to well Informed rail-
road promoter the Santa Fe and Mis-.
scuri Pacifie systems will either eX-
tend their lines many miles across
Oklahoma, or have II done for hem
under a new scheme of organization.
II has been generally believed that
the Santa Fe would never build

Article of Section Q Of the Consti-
tuition remained IN force. President
Ripley has been quoted as declaring
as much.
Under the now scheme il is propos-
ed 10 build a line from Tulsa direct
to Paris, Texas. when completed will
give the Santa Fe a direct line he
tween Galveston and Kansas city
ostimatcd at a saving in distance %
237 miles over their present line
Whether or not this project is part
Of the general plan Of the Santa l'o
cannot be definitely stated. but
enough inside" information has
been secured to make il look proba-
Bile.

TAFT's WITHDRAWAL NOT MlPRoBABLE.

ky OTNlTHSTANDlNG President rafts statement for pubHca.
AN tn two weeks ago that he would stick to the death in
his candidacy for denomination it is not by any means i'm
probable that circumstances will compel his withdrawal before
the flowers shall bloom in the spring. His nearest friends are
losing heart and the President is reported by newspapers friendly
to his candidacy as saying plaintively: why should withdraw
| can see no reason for it, The suggestion has been made to Mr..
Taft that perhaps the trouble with his candidacy is that it has
not been properly advertised AS if there were not sufficient
advertisement in the work done for Nh. Taft by the press agencies
and the hundreds of daily papers and the literary bureaus that are
working overtime for his denomination, But every day brings
ominous news to the Taft camp. OBJECTIONS are reported every
where, and nowhere is there the first evidence of any reaction for
Taft. 1t is now certain that Roosevelt will accept the nomination
if it is rendered to him by the party, and that is enough to satisfy
the Roosevelt sentiment. Only the partisaus of Taft make any
demands for Roosevelt to define his position, and the object is plain
enough. MI. Taft has been wilully blind to the trend of things.
He has been msed by interested advisers who should have known
that the logical answer to a Taft candidacy was a Roosevelt can
sdidacy. Why wait for a throw down" at Chicago?

Why Not Use OIeomarsarine.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that DR.. Wiley assures us that
oleomargarine, when properly made, is
just as sweet and wholesome as cream
cry butter and that only blind preju-
dice stands in the way of it's common
use, why isn't the problem of the high
cost Of living. SO far as this one COM
modify is concerned. solved simply and
satisfactorily? Oleo, which cannot be
told from butter if properly com
pounded, can be bought for half the
present price of creamery butter. If
the Legislature removes the tax on the
coloring matter from ten cents a pound
to two cents, as is proposed. In
dealing with the high cost of living
where the law of elimination cannot
be applied, why not apply the law OF
substitution as long as the substitu.
ton is Just as good?

MURPHY TO DINE TAFT.

ca He announcement that President Taft will be the guest of
former Governor Franklin Murphy at luncheon at Nj. Muir
phys residence here on Lincoln1s Birthday has its signif
canoe i'll connection with the reported candidacy of the host for
the vice presidential nomination., and it naturally sets the quid
nuncs specializing. One candidacy is. however, not necessarily de
pendent on the other. Mr.. Taft might not be renominated, and
the failure of his candidacy would in nowise affect that of a candi-
date for the vice presidential nomination.. which is q separate and
distinct proposition. For example, the Sherman nomination in
1908 was hardly thought possible until Taft had secured the presi-
dental nomination, SO the ticket might be Taft and Murphy or
Roosevelt and Murphy, although territorially a New Jersey candi-
date for the, second place on the ticket would have the better
chance with a Western man TO head the ticket.

TT HE hearing on the Pierce grade crossing bill at Trenton yes
II terday brought out the glazing defects in the bill, which
is a sorry attempt to fulfil the promise of the Republican
State platform. The bill makes it virtually impracticable to elimi-
nate the crossings. The municipalities are sc heavily penalized

never would. And they could at any time exempt themselves by the
plea of financial inability. 4 railroad company may be able to
borrow money for extensions and new equipment, but not TO provide
means for saving human life at crossings. This question of grade
crossings has grown to such dimensions in the public mind that the

OUR s0UTHERNM0sT MAINLAND CITY.

STa HE marriage of Key West to the mainland by the 1876 miles
of railroad just completed and built over the sea, with the
small coral islands as stepping stones, has a national i'm.
portance. Key West is of great strategic Importance, as it com
mands the entrance to the Gulf; is our nearest approach to the
Panama canal by hundreds of miles and has a spacious harbor
for the shelter and coaing of our warships. Key West will now
be an important outlet for our products going to the West Indies
and South America. And it is due TO the courage and energy and
resourcefulness of a captain of industry that the remarkable
railroad that has welded the Key West island to the continent
was constructed. A monumental enterprise was bravely planned
and spendidly accomplished.

OUR NAVY SECOND IN STRENGTH.

IN CGORDING to the Naval Year Book the United States still
f maintains second place as a naval power, having twenty
seven battleships, o one more than Germany. with a com
bined tonnage of battleships and cruisers of nearly 10000 tons
greater than Germany. So far as operations on this side of the
Atlantic are concerned we may be said to have at least double the
effective naval power of Germany and to approach very closely
to that of Great Britain. In fact, the necessity that must keep
strong British fleets stationary in the Channel. the North Sea and
the Mediterranean makes it doubtful if a fleet could be sent across
the Atlantic powerful enough TO face the naval power that we can
assemble after the Panama canal is in operation.

WOULD SUIT THE RAILROADS.

TS HERE are about 2400 miles of railroad track in New Jersey.
Ii If the proposition in the Legislature to gradually eliminate
grade crossings at the rate of twenty miles each year should
prevail it would, with the present trackage, take five years to eIimi-
nate the crossings on 100 miles of track and 100 years to get rid of
all the crossings. The railroad companies would not kick at that
arrangement. Nor would they object to the provision in the Pierce
bill that in cases where they should apply to the State commission
for the abolition of a crossing it would be at their exclusive cost.

WILL CONE OUT OF THE COAL-BIN.

I'D EPORTS from the Pennsylvania anthracite field predict a
Inn surprise for the representatives of the miners when thew
meet the operators in New York next month, in the shane
of a 10 per cent. advance in wages. The benevolent purpose of this
proposition is to avert a strike The operators will also inevitably
provide a surprise for the consumers by tacking the 10 per cent.
on to the price of coal and probably another 10 per cent. for good
measure, as they did in 1903.
