Wilson's Victory.

So far as there has been any cred
ible indication of the sentiment OF
the Democratic party at large, the nom-
nation of Woodrow Wilson will be
eminently satisfactory as the outcome
J. of the Baltimore convention and as a
means of ending the deadlock. The
responsibility must be Bryan's, as he
had made it plain that he would throw
his entire strength to the progressive
New Jersey Governor, if for no other
reason than to beat Clark at any cost
The manneF in which the Wilson
column began to be augmented Mon
day tells the story of the convention
more plainly than any other record OF
its cratic proceedings, faction fights,
and dictatorship, be II on the part OF
Bryan, Murphy, or the "gold-dust'
twins. 1t was simply contest between
Bryan and anti-Byan forces. That was
the disturbing factor, and, as it could
not be eliminated, and as no one desired
the deadlock to be extended ad inhn-
itum, Wilson was really the only way
out of the difficulty. 1t is too early, at
this writing, to state the real, the actual,
not the proffered cause of the with
drawal Of Underwood, and whether it
was voluntary or involuntary by means
Of pressure, which made Wilson pos
sible, for with Clark's consent he never
would have been nominated
Hence to say that it was a steady
gathering of his strength and not a
squirt" which gained the nomination
for Wilson, is more like coddling to the
victor than according to facts, for with
out Underwood's withdrawal there
would have been no nomination as yet.
That there was some sort of a deal
seems pretty certain, and it will come
to light after the election, that is, If
Wilson is the winner at the November
. polls
And this brings US to the leading issue
Pf the hour. namely: Is Mr.. Wilson the
man to lead the Democrats to victory?
IN our opinion the Democrats, consider
hg the peculiar conditions brought
about through Roosevelts insurgency,
would have hit the nail on the head
had they nominated their strongest man
at the very beginning, for he controlled
de facto the greatest number of dele
gates, which should mean that he was
the man most thought of throughout
the country. fractional strife, diIly-
',dallying, and deals" brought about a
final result, but can it be said that this
result has made the strongest man the
standard bearer of the Democracy?
We do not wish to detract from the
fame of the Democratic nominee, if
he has won any in his short public ca
reer. But the fact is that DR.. Wilson
will have to show the country what he
can do at the head of this great nation.
He has no achievements to back up his
promises. Two or three years ago he
was known only as an educational lead
er of merit, a theorist whose sayings
were taken on trial and which, in part,
have since been repudiated in his own
State. He means well, no doubt of
that, but so do Clark, Underwood,
Marshall, Kern, and all the rest of
them. He may lead his hosts to vic
tory in November, but we doubt it, be-
cause of his inexperience, because of his
lack of that craftsmanship which comes
only from long years in the public
frvioe and because of his many pro-
essive theories which attack the Con-
tuition.

CASTRO CAN'T LAND HERE
U. S. win Invoke immigration Laws
Against Him.

against THU.
Washington. Dec. 22.-The ques-
ton What shall be done with Cas-
tro?" the former Venezuelan dictator,
who is. on the French liner La Tou-
raine, bound for the United States
will be very easily decided according
to statements made here tonight.
The most simple solution of the
problem which the arrival of Castro
at the port of New York will bring
before the United States will be, 1t is
said to debar him from landing. This
can be done without reference to his
political status merely by invoking
the immigration laws of the United
States Castro, according to infor-
nation in the possession OF the
State Department, is suffering from
a contagious disease contracted when
in Venezuela. His health has been
considerably undermined. He re
quires constant personal attendance
Consequently it is believed that his
arrival would present such fragrant
case to the immigration officials at
New York that they would be oblig-
ed to deny him the privilege OF land
ing, even If they knew nothing of his
reputation as an undesirable in the
Western Hemisphere.
1t is understood that were not Cas-
tros condition what IL is there would
be no great objection on the part Of
the State Department to his landing.
II he were allowed to land, however,
he would unquestionably be kept I'M
der surveillance. Ever since Castro
fed from Venezuela the State Depart
ment has made it a point always to
be informed of his movements. No
effort has been made to restrict his
goings and comings. but any attempt
upon Castro's part to enter NeneZue-
la would be met with vigorous opposi
ton from the United States Govern
ment.
II is understood here that Castro >
physical condition is such as TO make
him much less OF a menace to the
peace of the Caribbean than was the
case a few years ago Despite his
illness, however, he will not be allow
ed to enter Venezuela or any adjoin-
ing country if the United States au-
thorities are able to prevent It.

100000 cows
But We Will Need More Than Twice
as Many 35 Years Hence.

Although since 1875 the number of
milk cows has doubled, increasing
from less than 100000 to over o.
100000, during the same time butter
prices have not only practically
doubled, but the price of cows has
increased 1852 head.
During the period the population
has more than doubled, showing that
rapid as has been the increases in
the number of COWS MIXED they have
not kept abreast of the growing de-
mand.
Judging by statistics from reliable
sources the population is to again
double during the next thirty-fve
years and in order to keep the price
of butter as low as it now is the COW
population must also double.
The up to date farmer realizes that
the farm is but a factory, says
Hoard's Dairyman; and that every
COW and every other animal is kept
there as a machine with certain
capacity for converting raw materials
into a finished commodity.
The value of each COW machine is
measured by the amount of feed she
can eat and convert profitably into
milk and butter fat during the year.
To determine this point the dairy
man weighs and tests the milk of
each COW to determine the production
and the amount and cost of feed
He is then prepared to say which
is the profitable COW and which is
the loafer. In view of the fact that
there are 100000 cows in the
United States that are eating por-
ton of the profits the other 10000
600 cows are making, the sooner the
dairy farmer finds these and substi-
tutes for them cows of more profit
able types and breeding the sooner
he enlarges the profits of his bust
ness.
In dong so he not only becomes
manufacturer in the truest sense, but
he also becomes wise banker in
that he refuses to loan to the COW
year after year that which she never
returns and on which she never pays
interest In the New England States
farmers who in the past thoughtless-
ly robbed their farms of the profit
yielding available riches that were
stored up In their lands are now re-
claiming those same farms by the
intelligent use of the dairy COW.
Eact year the land that provides
for the dairy COW is growing richer,
while the farms that are devoted ex-
clusively to growing and marketing
grain in its raw state are growing
poorer and less productive. The rea-
son is not hard to discover, for it is
known fact that with every ton of
corn sold off the farm bringing from
SIS to 500, goes $3.50 worth of fertili-
ty: ton of wheat worth $35 removes
$3.50 worth of fertility; ton of beef
worth at the present high prices
from $3.50 to 5000 takes with it about
ST worth OF richness, while a ton OF
butter worth today in the markets of
the world 5000, takes with it only 40
cents worth of fertilizing ingredients,
and by providing those heterogeneous
foods that are necessary for greatest
butter production, alfalfa, COW peas,
soy beans, fed in connection with
ensilage, returns to the land many
times this amount.
