IN IA fOLLETTE'S STATE
Madison (Wis.) Correspondence in
Milwaukee Journal


Woodrow Wilson the Demo-
cratic nominee for President,
will carry Wisconsin, strongly
Republican as it normally is, by
vote that at the least will be
very decisive. This is the con-
sensus of opinion of hundreds of
men-not Democrats, sbut Re-
publicans-who are experienced
in politics.
The Progressive Republicans of
Wisconsin, Judging from present
indications, are going to vote al
most as a unit for Wilson. The
State has never experience
ed so thorough a wiping out of
party lines in a national camp
aign as seems to be inevitable in
connection with the November
election.
A large majority of the Repub-
lican State officials state private
ly that they are determined to
vote for Wilson as a matter Of
principle. They believe in pro-
gressiye principles, rather than
party names, they state, and they
hold that Wilson is the only real
progressive in the Presidential
contest.
One prominent State official
declares that he has talked with
many Progressive Republicans,
and learned about many others,
and has not learned of a single
one who is not going to vote the
Democratic national ticket or
rather, as most of them put it,
for Woodrow Wilson aud the
Progressive cause.
Another prominent State Of
fetal not only admits that he in
tends to vote for Wilson, bat
states that the feeling in favor
Of the Democratic nominee is so
strong among Progressive Re-
publicans that it comes very
close to being una ninous, The
| movement toward Wilson, he de-
Jared, is remarkable. There
has never been anything like it
| IN the whole range of his politi-
! cal experience.
The showing that President
Taft will make in Wisconsin, It
is generally thought. will be the
poorest ever made by the Re-
publican candidate for President
since the Republican party was
fully organized more than 50
years ago. AS to Roosevelt,
nobody expects that he will re-
|%ceive enough votes to place him
any higher than the also ram
class.

Keeping On Rowing

The political situation has such
rosy hue to the DEMOCRATS and
reports that pour into the New
York headquarters are so pleas
ant and encouraging that a dam
gsrous feeling of overconfdence
may easily be produced. 1t does
look, as Andrew Gray, son of
Judge Gray Delaware, puts it.,
that Gov. wilson s election is al
most a mathematical certainly.
Blu, while there is every reason
for con fidence, there is every rea-
son also for hard, intelligent and
unreinitting work.
Wilson offered a quiet sugges-
ton in this line Saturday to visit
ing delegations at Sea Grit when
he Saio:
The Democratic party has to
prove that it is the worthy instru-
ment of zeal on the part of the
people Of the United States. If it
doesn't prove it now, it will never
be given another chance to prove
it. We are standing at a turning
point in our politics and we must
make good or 20 out of business.
In the vernacular, it is a case of
put up or shut up" because
words are going to be discounted
and nothing will be honored ex-
cept the actual carrying out of
such program as sensible men
may unite in for the common
benefit.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma,
emphasized in the statement
quoted in The Sun yesterday the
Importance of avoiding two blur
ders- -one that of oyerestimating
your own strength and the other
that of Understanding the
strength of your opponent.
The tide is running strongly
the Democratic way. But for all
that we should not stop rowing

ARITHMETIC OF MUSIC.
Piano Note Vibrations Range From 80
to 4,0e6 Per Second.

The pitch of musical tone can be
calculated automatically. While the
human voice in song is something of
an unknown problem. the notes of
musical instrument are adjusted ac-
cording to the number of vibrations
per second made by each note. The
shorter, finer and tenser the piano
string the greater the vibratory speed
and higher the pitch: the longer. coars.
err and less tense the string the slower
the vibrations and lower the pitch.
The human ear becomes sensible to
sound when vibrations have speed of
sixteen per second. AS the vibrations
increase the pitch ascends until 10000
are attained. when the result is inaudi
BILE. The practical range on the piano
is from 80 vibrations to 4.096
Thirty-two vibrations is the number
designated for the note of C, three oc-
taves below middle G on the piano.
The next G has twice the number Of
vibra tions-64: the next twice that

Doubling again for the ascending &C.
taves, the successive C's vibrate, re-
spectively. 512. 1924. 2,O4s and 1905
times per second. The pitch of the
intervening notes is regulated proper
tionally according to the chromatic
scale.
These figures have not always been
the same. The early instrument max.
ers of Europe had many disputes con-
corning the measurement of the mu-
steal strings and pipes that determined
the pitch.
The A string Of the violin gives the
tuning note for orchestras. On the pi
ano it is the first A above middle G.
From early times to the middle Of the
nineteenth century this pitch note va
ried from 377 to AS vibrations per sec
oAd. but 435 proved to be the most &C
ceptable pitch.
In close calculations temperature has
some influence, so that some experts
do not advocate striving for greater
accuracy than within five vibrations
| for the pitch note.
The celebrated high G of the soprano
voice has a vibration of 1924. There
is record of a woman. Lucrezia Aju
gari, who is vouched for by Mozart tt
have reached an octave above, thereby
causing her vocal cords to vibrate at .
speed of 2,O4S times per second.-Har

HID THE HANDKERCHIEF.
There Was a Time When 1t Was an
objectionable Article.

The evolution of the pocket handker-
chief is odd and interesting. There
was time when it was an unmention-
able thing-an article to be kept out
of sight and referred to only in 4 whiS-
per In polite conversation it was care
fully avoided and. as to ones being
caught using a handkerchief, it meant
social ostraciSn.
This state of things obtained up to
the time of the first Napoleon. when the
Empress Josephine brought it forward
for personal reason. The only defect
in her beauty was an irreguarity of
the teeth. and to hide this she used a
delicate little handkerchief, which from
time to time she raised to her lips
Thus she was enabled to laugh occa-
sionally. Seeing that it was case OF
either laughter going out or handker-
chiefs coming into fashion, the court
ladies adopted the pretty pieces of cam
brio and lace.
In England the evolution of the arti-
Gle which is now so openly displayed
by women was equally slow. There
was a time when it was forbidden to
mention it on the stage or to make use
of it even In the most fearful situation
while the people in the gallery and the
pit shed their tears into their laps
Even when it was mentioned for the
first time in one of Shakespeares plays
it was received with Kisses and general
indignation by the audience. Little by
little, however the prejudice gave way
and time came when the bandker
chief could be flourished in broad day
