Al DREAMLANn

The elephant now goes round, the
band begins to play, and we ex-
pect many Of our rural friends in
attendance at the state fair viii
avail themselves Of the opportunity
to see the show which opened yes
terday at DreamIand
1t will be kind in them to do so;
and from present appearances it is
the last las wen as the first) chance
to see the only living specimen OF
the political bull moose in Wiscon-
sin.
The last chance, We guess, be
cause leaders seemed yesterday to
be against rislling a state ticket.
which means, Of course, that the
management had little confidence in
Wisconsin as a good state for bull
moosing. OWNS largely to the strong
counter attraction offered by Mr..
La Toilette.
And there is perhaps another rea-
son. 1t would cost money to run
the organization necessary for a
state ticket; and from New York
comes the dolefuI sound of an an
| nouncement by National Treasurer
Hooker that since the fasco at Chi
cago and the subsequent forming Of
new party, donations have come
in but slowly.
The additional $4,000 put up by
Nessrs. Perkins and lunsey is aus
a. drop in the bucket for such a lib
eral political spender as the colonel
Mr.. Hooker's report also touches on
such dismal matters as arrears to
the amount OF $53,124.
Therefore, when the young and fl
cry enthusiasts at Dreamland de
mand a state ticket Of the older
hands. the latter may Wen retort,
With De Maupret in the play, Where
then, shall We set the. money!
Where, indeed, now that Vermont
and Maine failed to pan out to suit
the investors who expect a rebate?
1t is true that Mr.. Perkins said
/ jaUntiIy some time back there would
be no lack Of funds. But the fact
Iremains, according TO the Andrews
statement, that the gentleman count
ed sn to underwTite the new. depaE-
ture are not coming across with the
cheerful alacrity shown in the days
when the colonel apparently had the
party by THE tail, instead Of lead
ing this forIQrn hpoe Of a new party.
Still, it would be a pIUclzy thing
to do, this putting up Of a state tick
ct, and a gallant retort to the skep-j
tics and scoffers who say the con
vention viii not put one up because
they know full we'll it would not
draw enough support in Bob La
Follette's state to wad a gun with.
And, besides what an awkward thing
a state ticket would be for Mr.. Nc

The Milwaukee Free Press had
Geo. I. Williams Of this city slated
as q member Of The Third Party. The
Wausau Daily Record-HeraId has
the following to say editorfally:
NOT MOOSE" WORKERS.
Are there any genuine support
ers Of the Bull Moose in this state?
Possibly there are, but the lists Of
names of alleged workers given out
by The committee seems to repre-
sent nothing more than the com
pliers imagination. So far as can
be Jeande the names were pub
Hshed without the consent of the
owners. Some OF them are kick
tng; others regard it as a matter
OF no consequence; perhaps some
regard it as a compliment and will
consent to stand labeled.
George 7. Williams OF Grand
Rapids, however, does not accept
the doubtful compliment passfvely.
In letter to the Milwaukee Free
Press he declares that his name
was used without his permission,

MAKING RErTER BoYs

The fact that William r. George
has withdrawn from the George Jun
5or Republic. OF which he is the foun
der. may create the impression that
his unique theories OF dealing with
neglected children have proved a
dream.
It viii be well to recall that Of
500 boys who had gone out from the
colony UP to a recent time, only two
had drifted back to. hives Of crime.
and some eight had disappeared. All
of these were children who stayed on
y two or three months in the colony
and did not set acclimated.
MT. Georges work originated from
his dissatisfaction with the super
fetal means ordinarily employed to
help slum children. Herding them
out in the country for a fresh air
week. he felt, sending them back with
brighter faces and stronger muscles
did not really meet the case. They
simply could run a little faster when
the police chased them.

Apples TO Give Way.

The Yorkville Enquirer comes for
ward with q tale OF woe concerning
the apple crop in parts Of North Caro-
lima that Is hard TO swallow IN Its
entirety. 1t says the apple crop this
year Ia the largest in the memory Of
the oldest inhabitants. yet they can
be bought at Is and 90 cents q bush
el on the trees" The owner OF q
large orchard near Asheville told the
editor OF The Enquirer a few days
ago, that where in years past he
has sold fruit at so and 60 cents a
bushel on the trees, he now has thou
sands Of bushels going to waste Dur
ing several weeks past he has been
giving apples TO his friends by the
wagon load for the trouble of gather
ing them OF the ground. He ex-
planned that he knew of no way TO
save the fruit so as to get anything
out Of it, except that he had put up a
quantity OF cider, boiled down at the
rate of six barrels to one" He says
the Imperial Winesaps,' the old
fashioned apple, is now without any
commercial value at all. This apple,
however. was principally used in an
art now lost to this State-that of
brandy-making. The trouble with the
apple growers is probably the lack OF
transportation facilities. - Charlotte
