nothing to do with the highway plans in
the future.

Stump Problem Not Formidable

AS most of the stump lands Of
Wisconsin at this time are in the
upper counties, the following will be
construed as applying particularly to
the section.
At the start there are two ele-
ments affecting the stump question
in the upper counties that are not
generally understood. One of these
is the fact, that, being an old forest
in which the previous growth and
decay Of trees had deposited con-
siderable depth of humus the present
trees grew with a root system flat
and Just under the surface, follow
ing the line of least resistance and
only to the depth necessary to secure
plant food and moisture. This is
very different from conditions pre-
yailing in the regions Of alluvial
soils, where the roots go directly and
deeply into the soil.
The second point is that the roots
are mainly above the depth to
which the winter frosts go and
that each winter the heaving of
the ground tends to raise the stumps
and make them easier to pull and dis
pose Of These are the reasons that
make the stump problem in the upper
Wisconsin counties much different
from that Of other regions.
Still another fact affecting the sit
uation is that to secure as good pas
ture as is afforded by the 500 to
$3.50 lands of the best states, one has
but to clear off the brush. go over
the ground few times with a spring
tooth harrow and SOW the clover seed.
The soil Immediately begins to pro-
duce results and the removing of the
stumps can be delayed until the own
er desires to remove them Each
year that passes makes the stumps
more easily removable.
In addition to the better natural
conditions is the fact that there has
been great advance in the construct
ton Of the stump removing machin-
cry, so that the time of digging
stumps has passed There are many
kinds Of machines from the big
steam ones that are too costly for
others than large companies, down
through the horse power machines
to the ones that are operated by hand
and are within the reach of the poor
est farmers. All of these machines
are effective. Again, piling ma
chimes are simply and cheaply made
with which stumps are placed by
teams into large piles that assure
complete consumption when they are
burned Taken all in all, the stump
problem is vastly different from the
usual conception of Milwaukee

WELL POISED PRESIDENT.

James C.. Nolan of st. Paul recent
ly wrote communication to The
Dispatch expressing his approval oil
an editorial that appeared in that
paper under the caption Some Ac
ceptance Views" One paragraph
in the editorial read as follows:
1T is gratifying, however, to re-
cord that the narration of the course
of the administration with respect
to the Mexican trouble shows there
was displayed wisdom, moderation
and patriotism. Unstinted praise is
due to the president in this particu.
lar and the more so that he might
have found justification for meas.
ures that would have embroiled us
with Mexico and brought to him a
certain inevitable personal aggran.
dizement. That he resisted the temp
tation, if it was felt, and thus far
has brought the nation safely through
the peril of such a war is highly
creditable and will be fully appre-
ciated."

in November you are likely to learn
that there are many of your fellow
citizens who, believing with General

ABIDE BY THE PRIMARIES.

The st. James Plaindealer is not
very much in sympathy with the Ellis
worth resolution which was passed
at the state convention of the pro-
gressive republicans, which author
lied the appointment of commit
tee of fifty to select candidates, if
the progressives failed to nominate
their candidates at the September
primaries.
There are five candidates for gov
ernor before the people. These can
didates will all go into the primaries
there to take chances with the vot-
ers. AS this primary law is largely
a progressive measure, the progress
sives should abide by it's results.
If Governor Eberhart receives the
nomination at the primaries it will
show that the majority of the repub-
licans of the state wish him to be
the nominee, and he should not be
opposed by a progressive Candidate

The progressive republicans should
do their work before the primaries.
1t would be well for them to unite if
possible and throw their strength
largely to one candidate, at any rate
they should abide by the results of
the primaries, because the primaries
represent the will of the people,

DISPLAY OF GALL.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press cannot
stomach the proposition to request
Governor Eberhart to withdraw from
the gubernatorial race. The Pioneer
Press refers to it as "a nervy prop
osition." The ST. Paul paper says:
Even those who are most hostile
to Governor Eberhart and his admin.
istration should be able to appreciate
the nerve of his opponents who are
proposing he should withdraw from
the race. There are four in the con
test for the republican nomination
Three claim to be progressive. Some
of their hackers are saying that the
governor may be nominated, but that
his utilization with the Taft forces
will make it impossible for him to be
elected. They say the nomination OF
Governor Eberhart would mean the
election of the democratic candidate
and consequently it is his duty to
withdraw
Suppose the nomination of Gov
ernor Eberhart would mean the cleo.
IlOI VI Tic u0ulOCTdIlC HOIlluec,
whose fault would it be but that OF
his opponents at the primary? If the
majority of the people in the state
are progressive and they want a pro,
gressive governor, they need not
blame Governor Eberhart if the pro.
gressive strength is split up at the
primaries until it is ineffective. 1t
is up to them to get together. If
the contest is to be between progress
sives and reactionaries let the pro-
gressives present solid front or be
ready to take the consequences"
But there are no signs that any one
of the opponents of Governor Eber.
hart will withdraw from the race.
The lure of office and the pie counter
is too strong. Each has a personal
ambition that overshadows all other
considerations. Not one of the num-
Der that makes claim to being a
progressive would step aside in or
der. to assist one of the brethren in
his effort to climb the rounds of the
political ladder. The trough" looks
as inviting to progressive" as it
does to member Of the old guard.

ules, is saying to himself
Primarily the benefit of any tariff
should be disclosed in the pay enve
lope of the laborer' is the way his
platform puts 1t. That's right, and
it is very much the best statement
to be found in either of the plat
forms of the three great parties on
the subject of the tariff. One plat.
form, as he suggested in his provi
dence speech, would abolish pro
lection altogether. Another repeats
its familiar phrases about protection
to the American labor, under which,
as Mr., Roosevelt says, the benefits
of the system have Injured principally
to capital only so much as capital
has been willing to let go of being
PERMITTED to trickle down into the
pay envelope of the laborer
I'm other words, there has been
failure to carry the theory of pro-
lection to it's legitimate result This
Colonel Roosevelt and his party pro-
pose to do. How well they shall
succeed will depend upon the in
telligence and resoluteness of the
effort, but it will not do to accuse
the progressive party or it's leader
of failure to meet the tariff issue
squarely-not in this campaign"
The loophole in the editorial of
The Pioneer Press is this: If the
protective tariff policy of the re-
publican party is wrong now it was
so in the days of the Dingley law,
which was framed in accordance
with the party's declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the national con-
vention which met a short time
previous. If the protective system
inures to the benefit of capital now
it did so then, and Colonel Roose-
welt, was derelict in his duty when
he failed, as president of the United
States, to urge upon congress the
enactment of laws that would dis
close the benefit of the protective
tariff in the pay envelope of the
laborers
During his entire administration,
President Roosevelt did not con-
Germ himself about the pay envelope
of the laborer. He did not bother
himself about the tariff. He did not
advocate its revision, although there
was demand for such action then
as there is now, the statement of
The Pioneer Press to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The Pioneer Press
may be able to fool some of
the people on this proposition, but
it is a sixteen to one bet that it's
statement will not be accepted as
gospel truth by all the people. AS
for the Colonel, he has coined a
catch phrase which he hopes will
bring to his support the laborers of
the country. Will they be fooled by
his chaff?

PEANUT POLITICS.

Chicago Record-Herald: If the
warfare that is being carried on by
congress against the president con
tinues it will defeat it's own purpose
The object, of course, is to secure
every possible political advantage
from the plan of campaign. 1t is
assumed, in the first place, that any
attack on the president must arouse
popular sympathy, and in the sec.
ond place, that, this being so, nc
attention will be paid to methods OF
even to the subject matter of legis
lation as to which, there is a dis.
agreement. The disposition, there
fore, is to resort to mean tactics
while there is manifest yielding
to the temptation to work into bills
questionable provisions that would
have little support under normal
conditions.
1t is all very small and very dis,
honest, too, and it's natural effect Is
seen now in the encouragement the
president is receiving in certain of
sure him on other accounts are with
him in his opposition to the cheap
game of peanut politics.
The newspapers generally condemn
the trick of attaching riders to ap.
preparation bills. Congress itself has
backed down with it's civil service
spoils rider to the legislative, execu.
tive and judicial appropriation bill
but the house insists on the pro,
vision for the abolition of the com.
merce court, and in spirit of re-
venge has struck out from the bill
matter that properly belonged there
merely because it was understood
that it had the presidents earnest
approval. This is neither magnifi.
cent nor, war. 1t, is contemplate
.child's playa pop-gun. fusillade. If
the president stands firm he will
have the country with him in the
contest. Meanwhile, congress is cam,
paigning for Mr., Taft,
