inely and fearlessly Progressive. It's
platform is superb Comprehensive,
courageous, definite and practical, as
the declaration of faith of a national
party it is unique and inspiring in
its enthusiasm for progress and hui
mainly. 1t takes it's stand in favor
of justice for those who labor and
equality of opportunity for business
and farmers. Manifestly it is the
Wisconsin Idea nationaIized. Here
for the first time the things for which
Wisconsin Progressives have fought
for years are now vital issues in a
nationwide campaign. 1t is as like
the Republican state platform of two
years ago as two peas. The Repub-
lican state platform this year is in
harmony with both. How can we
who have sacrificed for these ideas in
wisconsin oppose them now in the
nation? For one | shall not attempt
the role.
1t is true there are Progressives
In Wisconsin who do not admire
Colonel Roosevelt. They say he is
lnslncere. | do not believe this
charge can be substantiated. Colonel
'Rooseyelt's character and quaIifca-
lions for public office are we'll known.
His fitness to lead the progressive
movement has been submitted to the
voters themselves from Maine to Cal
norma and overwhelmingly ap-
proved. If the will Of the people is
to be the law of the land his title to
lead in this great cause is clear, hav-
ing thus been affirmed by the highest
tribunal to which political controver-
no cir Ia
the new party has called Governor
Johnson of California whose splen-
did record in the gubernatorial office
Is almost without a parallel Allow
ing all fair deductions that may be
claimed-and nothing human is per-
fect-here is ticket, political plat
form and party personnel which for
high purpose, genuine patriotism
and political courage challenges the
support Of every thoughtful citizen
1t is not neasy thing for Repub-
llcan candidate to withhold support
from even the nominal head of his
party. But it is easier than suffering
the feeling of disqualification and
loss of self-respect inseparable from
an attempt to go through this cam
paign appearing to support men he
does not respect and lodging issues
that should be sQuareIy met. And
after all, as was said of old: "The
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life 1t is principles, not party
names or labels, that count. No Re-
publican who supports the national
progressive ticket need leave his par
ty in this state on that account.
/ shall support the Republican
state, congressional, legislative and
local tickets and vote for Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson.

$ Very often two men cannot be had
at the same time to operate cross-cut

use. This can be easily accomplished
Bolt one end OF the saw to hardwood

Without question, the Scots curler
of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's
Magazine, placed the, proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match In
Switzerland, the skip of one Of the
teams, who happened to be a Scots

rate shot of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him in the fol-
lowing manner: Lie down and dee.

Eats Matches and Die s.

Richland Center.-Harry Chapman,
little son Of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Chapman, died from the effects of
eating matches. The boy, left alone
for a few minutes while his mother
went into the yard, secured a box of
matches and, before she returned, he
managed to swallow heads enough to
make him i'll. A physician was call
ed but was unable to save the boy.
This is the second death of the kind
in this vicinity in a short time.

Impure Seeds.

1t is high time that farmers should
know what they SOW on their land.
When clover is wanted, nothing else
should be sown; when red top is
wanted, only this species should be
scattered over the land.
But people have been far too care
less. They have bought blindiy and
sowed the seed without knowing
what they were planting. At the Con-
necticut experiment station a sample
of clover seed was examined that con-
tanned $4,000 weed seeds to the
pound Seed of this kind would be
extremely dear as a gift.
Know what you are buying, and buy
only pure seed

Use Of Spreader Best.

The piling Of manure il small lots
as it Is hauled afeld may have some
points in its favor, but from the
standpoint of realizing the largest
possible good from the fertilizing
elements contained it is plainly a
poorer method than scattering from the
spreader.
Handled in this way, the soluble
portion of the fertilizers that the
manure contains soaks at once into
tho soil. while if ,ne manure is put
Il piles there is Z loss by chemical
onanges and the escape of gases

BYE as Summer Cover.

There are farmers who SOW rye III
the corn during the last cultivation
The rye makes summer cover, util.
izing some of the nitrogen that might
be wasted under the influence of the
summer sun; it makes fine grazing
for pigs, calves, horses and COWS in
early fall and during winter; it sup
plies the soil with needed humus when
the land Is turned. This is not by
any means a bad practice.

Indicates Sour Soil

If any one of the several kinds of
sorrel is found growing on piece Of
land it is pretty safe to assume that
the soil is sour and needs sweetening
with an application of lime. Besides
this, 1t may be that the tract Is not
properly drained, in which case it
should be tiled In addition to being
