Evidently the trans Missouri region
is becoming political debatable ground
La the seventh congressional district of
Kansas a special election was held and
what was once Republican majority
of 5000 has become a Democratic
power of 1000. Judge Madison was
the former Republican congressman
but when he died discord arose with
the result that another political force
is in power. In Nebraska last fall
the Democrats gained congressman
in the same way and from indications
the lands beyond the muddy Missouri
are debatable political territory.

May Dedicate Arch
On Next FLAG Day

The Camp Randall commission held
two sessions yesterday at Madison
and late in the afternoon number
expressed the opinion that there are
two reasons why thea memorial gate
may not be dedicated on the 5Oth Of
May, memorial day,-first, because on
that day veterans generally desire to
be at home to participate in the Gus
tomary local service, and second, be-
cause the contractors may not be able
to complete their work by that time.
The dedication may take place on flag
day, June IA.
Bishop Samuel Fallows of Chicago
will deliver the address and other
speakers will be Governor McGovern
and General Edward S. Bragg, who
took company to Camp Randall in
June 1851 and later commanded the
iron brigade.

COMING TO WISCONSIN.

Polish farmers in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and New York have bought a
tract of 900 acres in northern Wis
consin and some 800 families are ex-
pected to settle there early this year
says an eastern exchange. 1t is said
that there are about 100000 acres of
undeveloped land in that region, and
there are expectations that it will be
cultivated before long. Many of the
Polish immigrants to this country are
peasants from the farming districts and
rather misplaced in big manufactures.
1t would be good thing for all con-
cerned If many more of our newcomers
from Europe's rural districts could and
would get "bAck to the farm" in the
new world.

Dear Mr.. e iitor:- Why in thunde
did you open your valuable column
to the diIls of every datfy person j.
town? For nigh unto so years l hav
been striving with might and main t.
keep my name unspotted from ths
world. Now, after having tipped Owe
unto the shady side of life-now, wher
began to feel that Gae weight o.
years would help me to crush back
in my breash every wicked impulse,
every worldly passion-I find my fair
name dragged hither and thlther by
every "shade and hue" of humanity.
What's in a name? Lydia Pinkham
says: ga rose by any other name
would smell just as sweet" This
may all be true, but he that filches
my good name robs me of that which
not enriches him and makes me poor
indeed. In my heart l think that Mr..
Erswell struck the key note when he

DO YOU THINK SO?

DO you think that the government
should own the telegraph lines Of this
country? Postmaster-General Hitch
cock brings the topic under general
discussion by advising congress to pur-
chase all of the telegraph lines in the
United States. This is the eve of a
presidential campaign and by the
time the question has been discussed
on the platform and the curbstone, the
pros and cons will be so we'll under
stood that the mind of the average
citizen will have been made up as to
federal ownership.

ROOSEVELT IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

The indications have now become
unmistakable that the rank and file of
the Republican party desire the nomi'
nation of Colonel Roosevelt. This
sentiment is manifest in almost every
part of the country. 1t is obvious
that Colonel Roosevelt could not be ex-
pected to seek the place. 1t is equally
obvious that the Republican voters
should be allowed 10 express their
views, and should be permitted %
choose delegates who will properly
represent them in the Chicago conven-
ton. The control of state delegations
through federal patronage will not be
SO readily condoned this year as it has
been at some times In the past. No
candidate on the Republican ticket
can possibly be elected this year if his
nomination is merely due to the con-
troll of blocks of delegates holding fed
eral offices in Southern States which
never cast electoral votes for Republi-
can candidates. There is no reason
whatsoever for asserting that Mr..
Roosevelt would decline the nominal
ton if offered to him, nor is there any
reason for thinking that those Repub-
Iicans who wish to support him are
acting without due warrant in trying
to have delegates sent from their
States who would share in their views

SHOULD THE HIGHWAYS BE
NARROWER?

Should the roads of Sank county be
reduced in width? Is much valuable
land being wasted by lying idle at the
roadside? An eastern editor says that
when the west was new and land had
no special value, highways were laid
out on a generous scale. Now Gov.
Carol of iowa proposes to save to
agriculture 100000 acres of land,
valued at $8O.OOO,OoO, by narrowing
the country roads from IS to 40 feet.
The class in arithmetic can no doubt
give of-hand the length of the roads
involved. The proposal is arousing
interest in Kansas, too, where the
roads are so feet wide, aud w. S.
Gearhart, state highway engineer at
the Kansas agricultural ,college, is
quoted in favor of the plan. A road
way 80 feet wide between the center of
the bitches, he says, will amply &C
commodate traffic, and width great
er than is necessary gives room for
weeds TO grow. It leads, too, to the
to waste money on need
lessly wide roadbeds. On roads hav-
ing little traffic he would even reduce
the wild III to 20 or % feet.
