PRESS dispatches are being
sent ont from Washington to the
effect that Senator LaFoiiette is
out of the race for the Repuoll-
can nomination for President,
owing to a breakdown in health.
The LaFollette headquarters still
maintain that LaFollette is III
the race as strong as ever and
it looks like an attempt to
stampede the LaFollette sup
porters. Pin your faith to La
Toilette and do not desert the
ranks until you are sure beyond
q doubt that LaF'ollette is not a
candidate.

+. Old Wall Street.

Wall street in the days when Wash
ington was the first president Of the
United States, when Alexander Hamil-
ton and Aaron Burr were rivals at the
bar, was perhaps the most popular and
populous thoroughfare in New York.
1t was so named because 1t followed
the line of the city's first defensive
stockade or wall" and throughout its
length were enacted many scenes that
are part Of the nations larger history.

Glue Tonic.

Chinese medicine developed special
fondness for fossilized dragon bones, >
derived from extinct herbivora. They
are also fond OF dragon teeth" as fos-
SLICED shells are called. In Shantung
glue is made from asses skins. In a
certain town of that province is a well,
the water of which when drunk by
asses makes their skins especially good
for making glue. This glue brings
fancy prize, as it is a famous tonic
throughout China. -Chicago Tribune.

Facts Don't Hurt Good Things

Some of the Wisconsin state pa.
pers have been disinclined to dis
cuss many things that are of vital
interest to the state from fear that
it might be styled knocking"
But there are two sides to this pro-
position. 1t is we'll known that
hundreds of agents are at work IN
Wisconsin attempting to induce our
people to co to their regions and IN
vest their time and money. Now,:if
our people can do materially better
somewhere else, it is clearly to their
interests to go, and the best wishes
of all good Wisconsin people will go
with them. But there is the other
side; are they acting upon substan-
tial information, or are they bum
coed? This is serious question
aud the Only way to feel assured on
this point is to consult government
records they are not beyond the
possibility of error, but they are the
best we have. Then, there are
some good personal authorities who
might be consulted. In this con-
nection it may be noted that the
irrigation people have been active
in this state and they have pictured
the situation rosy. F. II. Newell
has been at the head of the irriga-
ton bureau of the COVER nment al
most from the time it was
established. 1t might be well to
consider what he states in an article
prepared for the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. He says:
ssHe (the settler) has heard OF
all the good things, has read the
roseate descriptions of irrigation, its
benefits, but the drawbacks have
never been brought to his aztec ton,
It is hardly to be wondered that
many of the people who take up ir-
rigation for the first time suddenly
awake to the fact that it is not
wholly matter of sunshine and
flowers. and that for success, energy
skill and thrift are required. In or
der to get we'll started on an irriga.
CATION farm man must have not
only good fortune but must be pre-
pared to endure privations which
he would not be willing to consider
at home; doing this, however, with
the assurance.that the ultimate re-
ward will be. correspondently great.
'.This awakening to the fact that
irrigation has it's thorny side some
times comes as a startling shock,
sufficient to discourage all but the
most enthusiastic or istent, and
the more faint hearted seek further
for the promised land. Those who
remain soon learn that success must
be preceded by subduing the soil,
getting it into a good Condition OF
filth, supplying the necessary nj
trates perhaps phosphates, applying
water day and night, wading around
in the mud, enduring the heat OF
the long days of brilliant sunshine,
the possible seapage followed by
crop losses, or ruin from alkali.
If the Wisconsin farmer wants to
encounter these conditions, all well
and good, but he should be inform
ed first.

FINISHES SECOND
YEAR WITH FLOCK

Today marks the second anniversary
of the installation of the Rev. Edwin
Emerson Davis as pastor of the New
York Avenue Reformed Church in the
Ironbound district, this city. Despite
the fact, however, that he was for
mally installed on April n, 1910, ne
served the ~pastorate for a period of
nine months preceding the ceremony,
the delay of installation being caused
by the inability of DR.. Davis to secure
an immediate release from the New
Mexico Conference. in which district
he was serving a charge.
He has become one of the most popu-
lar divines in the I%ronbound section,
and during his pastorate a i%ourishing
Mems Club has been organized, and
every department in church work has
~prospered. He has also promoted lee
ture courses and concerts. which have
proven both educational and entertain
ing.
DR.. Davis is a graduate of Oberlin
College, the University of New York,
and Of Princeton Theological Semin-
airy, class of 1908. His first charge was
in Cleveland, o., and the second at
Roswell, N. M. His third call was to
the New York Avenue Reformed
Church, this city, where he succeeded
the Rev. A. Peter Tulip. who resigned
the local charge to enter the Episcopal
ministry and the diocese of Newark.

METHOO|sTs PLAN
FOR CONFERENCE

The general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, which opens in
Minneapolis, MINI, Wednesday next
will be attended by clergymen and
delegates from this city and other
parts of the State.
The movement which has been gain
ing strength in various parts of the
country by clergymen opposed to the
present form of church government
and discipline. it is asserted, will in
sist on a decided modification.
The -four radical changes to he dis
cussed will be the abolition of the of
flee of district superintendent, the
elimination of the itinerant bishopric
system and the substitution of a dis
trict resident bishop for a term of foul
years; the restoration of the pastoral
time limit, n the adoption of a more
equitable method for regulating the
transfer or appointments of pastors.
Another important matter to be
urged will be the institution of a Judi
cial court of appeals to consist of fif.
teen members, three bishops, six min.
listers and six laymen, who shall be
chosen by the general conference.
1t is also expected that several bish.
ops will be retired on account of the
age limit. They will include the Rev
DR.. Henry w. Warren. of Denver, Col.
who Is 80 years old; the Rev. DIR. David
Moore, of Cincinnati, O.; the Rev. DR.
Earl Cranston, of Washington, D. C..
who are both over 70 years of age.
