CORN shredders and huskers are more
dangerous to life and limb than powder
mill explosions and boiler explosions,
according to bulletin ga just issued by
the Industrial Commission at Madison.
The bulletin not only tells about the
accidents that occurred in the season
of 1911, but also relates how they might
have been prevented by simple means.
The bulletin is the result of an ex-
haustive inquiry made by the commits
sion last summer. The advice of the
victims on the means by which their
accidents might have been prevented
is given In full. The bulletin also con-
tains practical advice regarding the
guarding of dangerous parts of ma
chimes, and farmers, by following this
advice, will be able to put their boys to
work without fear of accident. By
corresponding with manufacturers and
by enforcing the corn shredder law,
the commission already has put stop
to the importing of any unguarded
shredders. The bulletin is designed es-
pecially for the use of owners of ma
chimes which were purchased before the
enactment of the present law. Many
of the older machines are menace to
life and limb because of Incomplete
equipment. Copies of the corn shred
der bulletin are being sent out upon
request.

THE spectacle of the great Republi-
can party dismembered and torn asun-
der by internal dissentions, as is shown
by the recent elections, may be an in
spring sight to the aspiring politicians
who have for the past four years done
their best to bring about this result,
but to a vast army of sober, candid,
everyday Republicans it is deplorable
in the extreme. The prospect of a
Democratic administration with its free
trade declarations is a menace to bust
ness prosperity which the nation can
regret at its leisure. Factions that
have grown up under the leadership of
rule or ruin politicians have invited this
defeat and good, sound trouncing is
a deserved and natural consequence. 1t
was bound to come sooner or later and
perhaps the atmosphere will commence
to clear from this time on.

THE great American hog is the most
economical of animals. Of what a
horse eats, So per cent goes to waste.
Forty-four per cent of the food con-
sumed by cattle is similarly lost, and
81 per cent Of all that sheep take
into their stomachs But only IL per
cent of what a pig eats is wasted.
Fifty-two per cent of the food eaten
by hog goes to make growth. A
sheep utilizes only Is per cent Of its
sustenance for growing which means,
of course, the production of meat.
These figures are obtained from recent
experiments made by government ex-
perts, who find, as a result of their
study, that the pig has what they call
an economic superiority" even over
poultry. That is to say, it produces
more meat in proportion to its weight,
and the animal weighs more in proper
tion to the amount of food it consumes.
Eighty-four per cent of the carcass of
hog is utilized as meat; of the beef
animal Is per cent is edible, and of the
sheep only "a per cent. Thus it ap-
pears that a greater percentage of the
pig is available for food than of any
other domesticated creature.

speech so that 1t ought to
be treated seriously at least
by the papers themselves. The Ban
ner will probably be accused of trea-
son for saying so, but newspapers are
altogether too fond of accusing other
people of sins of which they them
selves are equally guilty. News
papers are exactly the same as indi-
viduals. Each newspaper, big or little,
is dominated by some one man or
small group of men, Most of these
men are honest just as most individ.
uals are honest They will average
little broader and more idealistic
than the general run of men merely
because their work gives them a wi
der familiarity with the problems Of
existence
That they are entitled to any halo
or blessed with any peculiar virtue is
not true. The country papers are
cleaner and better than the city pa
pers as a rule because the struggles
Of existence on a country paper are
so severe as to at least render a man
modest The big city papers, how
ever, are great and wealthy institu.
tions and naturally and surely afiili-
ate with other institutions of wealth
Unavoidably they get the viewpoint
OF others of their class The treat
ment Of Roosevelt by such great pa
pers as the New York World, and Sun
is fair example Not only have they
abused him editorially but they have
habitually prostituted their news col
umns to the same purpose. not with
the deliberate intention OF lying about
him but because their vision is dis.
torted by their point of view. News
paper editors can do better than to
criticise LaFollette for his utterance.
They will show more sense by look
ing themselves In the face and in.
quiring of themselves II Senator La
Follette's criticism is not, In part at
least, deserved.

am pledged and shall devote myself,
whether or not I am successful in
my candidacy That IL my platform
and IT is large and broad enough for
every loyal son Of Vermont.
This is the plain, simple, straight
forward, busness-like statement that
one would naturally expect from Sen.

disparaging the candidacy or the quail

the position in question, we can say
that this is an utterance that is like
