"TEDDY'S BULL DAWC."
ITO the air Of Casey Jones.[

Chicago, June 4.-The Roosevelt
campaign song made its appearance to-
day. The staff of workers in charge
of headquarters came into the Congress
hotel singing it on their arrival.
The song is a parody Of the famous
war chant of the Champ Clarke boost
ers. ''You gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun'." 1t is sung to the tune of
Casey Jones'"
TEDDY'S BULLDOG.
Teddy's gotta dawg, but he amt no
h hound. III
He's a square-jawed bull, and his face
is round;
His legs are short, and he's close
to the ground,
And you bet they amt kickin' Teddy's
dawg around.
CHORUS.
Square-jawed bull and his face is
Square-jawed bull, and he amt no
hound,
Short-legged bull, close I'd the ground.
And you bet they amt kickin' Teddy's
bull around.
The Democratic dawg, the unlucky
hound,
That the boys have all been kickin'
around,
Is the same old dawg that's been
stickin' 'roun'
Since old Abe Lincoln came to Wash
.v ington town.
And now he comes back, the measley
hound,
With his face and his tail still hangin'
down,
The hungry, sly old lop-eared hound, (
No wonder the boys have been kickin'
him round.

until they could readjust them

fronts us and again bring peace,
prosperity and happiness to our
people.
Then, too, the experts tell us
that the advent of the boil weevil
brings q radical change in the far
ing methods of the people and in.
stead of the almost exclusive cul-
tivation of cotton we will be com.
PEELED to diversity. In other
words, to grow something else be-
side cotton. This will call for a
marketing season throughout the
entire year instead of two or three
months in the fall as heretofore,
and our public roads will thus be
in public use. then with such
roads as we have had the past
winter and spring the cost OF
transportation would far exceed
the price of the products we had
to transport and we would be doing
business at a loss as long as our
beautiful mud roads lasted, and
this year. they lasted 6 months.
AS we review the history Of the
past we find that the progress OF
the ages has ever been hindered
by the pessimist. If the advance
ment of the world had depended
upon the spirit and actions Of this
class of its citizens we would today
be little farther advanced than the
barbaric people who have been
content to plod along in exactly
the same path their fathers trod,
digging'with a wooden spade and
blowing with a forked stick.
Selfishness with some, ignorance
with others has ever retarded the
onward spirit Of progress and ad-
vancement among the races Of
men; and were it not for the pa
triotic endeavors of the noble
spirits of earth who have the wei
fare of their fellowman at heart.
and who are striving to make
smooth the rugged pathway Sof

would be a sad one indeed With.

n0bler desires and to grander
achievements for the welfare of
the human race. Then my fellow
countrymen let us throw no OBJ

spirits who would give us perma.

greatest monuments ever builded

Editor Of the Beacon
/ have been watching with in

noticed with much pleasure the
stand taken by the Beacon and
also Mr.. Deupree in favor of per.

seems to me rather q peculiar
brand of mankind who prefers a
road of mud and slush up to his
horses knees and the axle of his
wagon, to one built of macadam
wherein his team could stand on
top of the earth and make the
same distance in one fourth the
time and carry five times as much.
My own experience the past win.
ter in travelling prairie roads has
proven beyond a doubt to my
mind that macadam roads, even
costing Is, OOO.O 90 per mile would
be cheap in comparison to the
mud and slush roads of the past
winter.
The opposition to good roads in
this section use as an argument
against building them at this
time the advent of boil weevil,
short crops that follow, and the
consequent scarcity of money. In
revolving this matter through my
mind it occurs to me that now,

Three weeks Of sunshine after six
months Of continuous wet weather,
gave the farmers plenty of time to get
in their crops and worked out, the crop
they had had an opportunity to plant
between showers. When the first rain
fell last Saturday It was welcomed al
most every where. but since 8 56 inches
have fallen since that time, there is a
general feeling Of uneasiness that the
old superstition that rain the first day
Of June mean a rain every day in the

THE BOOGHER-MAM

With all his prestige of past sue
cess, with all the extravaganza ant
hysteris of his support, with al
the attention compelling nature o
his campaign, and all the spectac
ular mightiness of the man him
self, there is nothing in the race
Roosevelt is making in the prima
ries that should discourage thu
democrats in the least.
Much of it is mere sound and
fury signifying nothing. The fact
that stands out most s~trikingly is
that all the strength of and all the
opposition to Roosevelt, and all
the strength and weakness of Taft
have not been sufficient to bring
out much more than a majority OF
the republican vote. Neither one
has been given a majority of the
normal republican vote.
This indifference toward the re-
publican candidates for the nOmi.
nation is most significant. The
indifference of many democrats to
the respective claims OF Wilson,
Underwood, Clark and Harmon
signifies no disaffection to the par.
ty or any coming lack of enthusi'
astic support Of the nominee. 1t
only means that the most of the
democrats are willing to support
any one of the four. None of them
has been president and is not ex-
pected to have that tremendous
personal following four years in
the White House builds up.
But Roosevelt with all the or
gsnized strength of q man seven
years president has not been able
to rally to his support a majority
Of the republican vote Of a single
state.
The vital comparison Is not his
vote compared to Taft's vote, but
his vote compared to the normal
republican vote. And thereby is
shown his weakness.
Roosevelt is a master. politician.
No one knows better than he how
to strike the popular sense, to i'm,
press the popular mind. AS an
advertiser he has Barnum beaten
to a FRAGILE. He can get himself
talked about in every hamlet from
Maine to Texas, from Pensacola to
Seattle. He is a buffer, but not
a four. flusher. He may make two
deuces look like four aces, but
when he bets he always holds al
least a pair. He is a great cry but
there is always some wool. He is
a big smoke but there is always
some fire. Otherwise he would
have been out of the ring long ago.
With all his elements o,
strength and his still greater ap
pearance of strength the demo
Gratis can beat him with a goot
cause and a good man.
There is a great deal of tn,

Pythagoras would have made al
instance of the way he shows hi,

fed democracy and an u~nterritie,

Knowing Our Own State

The exhibit of the agricultural
products of upper Wisconsin at the
Dairy show in Milwaukee last month
was an eye opener to the multitude
in the older portion Of the state. 1t
was a good chapter in the informa-
ton of the people who attended the
show
Thousands of people remarked that
they did not suppose that such prod
ucts could be grown in the northern
counties This applies especially to
corn. the fruits and root crops.
Many said that they had supposed
that the upper counties were good
only for hay and pasture. But III
this exhibit they found all the grains
and grasses, the clovers and alfalfa,
corn, potatoes, tobacco, sugar beets,
clover seed and the finest onions,
rutabagas, carrots, hubbard squash
and other vegetables that grow any
where.
The question was frequently ask
ed: why should people go to the
far west and to Canada while we yet
have land that will produce such
products Simply because in the
past the west and Canada have had
the front of the stage and our Wis
consin people have made no effort for
growth.
Shall we continue to have our sons
and daughters go to faraway lands
that will not produce as good returns
as the cheap lands of the upper coun-
| ties, or shall We spread the infor-
nation that we have unapproached
opportunities right here in our own
state?
