Judge Dunno and presided at the meet

Divorced for Keeps.

Considerable has been said about
the reorganization of the republican
party, about getting together, and
; bout the Progressives coming back
into the old party. Nothing of the
kind is going to happen. The Pro
gressiye party has come to stay.
The splendid vote polled by its cand-
idates in this state. with but little
organization and with none what
ever in some of the counties amply
testified TO the strength it will show
in future elections. The wonderful
rote polled in all states showed that
the people were ready for new

Governor Lister Will Make Good.

There remains no doubt that when
goveruor-elect Lister takes hold OF
the reins OF government in this state
next month decided change for
the better will have been inaugural
ed. and that the government OF state
affairs will be brought closer to
the people.
At q banquet rendered the state s
new executive at Olympia last week
Mr.. Lister made declarations which
have the true ring at honesty OF
purpose and fidelity. He declared
with emphasis that the heads OF
the state Institutions should not
get out and work for the political
success Of the head Of the party in
power. They ought to keep their
hands off. They ought to be big
enough for their jobs to keep out
Of politics and then there would be
no question of their holding their
positions regardless Of the political
complexion Of the next administra-
ton. ! don't believe il is right.
There is no question that certain
branches of the state administration
should be out Of politics. This ls
one Of them-the state institutions
should be Kept out Of politics.
This declaration was more or less
in reply 10 the many assertions OF
heads of state institutions, and OF
republican newspapers, since the
election that they are non-partisan
1t indicates clearly that the Govern
or-elecr is paying no attention what
ever to this silly twaddle but knows
what transpired during the recent
political campaign and upon this
knowledge will base his decision
whether these departments and
whether the com missions are non
partisau or not.

After IS months of struggle, trials

The suspension of the News
marks the third newspaper failure

the farmers would undoubtedly Be e
nough larger to account fer more
than the difference. Many assessors
reported the amount received for but
ter without stating the number Of
pounds Of cream and milk received.
Now comes the cheese business.
Here again there is a slight discre-
pancy, so that the statement should
not be viewed too critically by "a ez
pert accountant But it shows that
the total Of the dairy business in
Wood county is something enormous.
Twelve cheese factories, according
to County Clerk Eberbardts report
were in operation in the county last
year, their plants being valued at
$19, ,525. The number of patrons con
tributcry was 319, with nearly seven
cows apiece, or 2.2G4 in all
During the year the number of
pounds Of milk received by these y
factories was 7,927.656, which pro
duced 72O,127 pounds Of cheese val
Ued at $89,858,62
In the cheese business Wood coun-
ty is considerably younger than some
of the neighboring counties, SO it is
to be expected that these figures
viii show a large gain year after
year. The total Of cheese handled
by the MarshfieId Wholesalers is sew
eral times as large as the foregoing.
The amount Of butter and cheese
made on farms in the good old fash
ioned way amounts to very little in
deed That is, of butter and cheese
made on the farm that is sold. There
is no record Of any consumed on the
farms, but the amount sold was in
1911: Butter, $3,6O8.46; cheese, $500.
All these figures are computed by
