Of an
EightY-ACre Farm.

.A'5uSy Hu,N
We have a very interesting
letter from an Illinois subscriber,
living in a section where there
is no live stock worth mention
ing, except the horses and milk
cows for family use. He has in
ten years earned eighty acres of
land, now worth $500 an acre,
but which cost him $137. He is
wondering whether he ought to
conine himself to this eight
acres, or go in debt for a quarter
section more at $500 per acre.
He asks US how he could man
age the eighty acres to the best
advantage, in case he concludes
to confine himself to that.
We are not giving the reader
our private answer to this ques-
ton; but We would like the judg-
mcnt of our eighty-acre farmers;
for we believe the condition of
this farmer is typical of many,
and we suspect it will in the near
future be typical of many more.
Let us hear from our eighty.acre
readers just how they would han
die this farm; and probably as
good a way as any would be to
tell us how they manage their
own, what rotation they would
adopt, and what they would make
the speciality: hogs, dairy cows,
potatoes; and how they would
arrange the farm.
A great many people think
that if the country was divided
into eight.acre farms, we would
have. civilization much more
nearly ideal than we have now.
This we believe is true; but we
can not expect men to adopt this
system until they see how they
can make a living out of slightly
acres, support their families, and
have something ahead.
What we want to know is how
the eighty-acre farm should be
managed in the corn country, in
a fruit country, in a country
adapted to the growth of pota-
toes or vegetables, in a dairy
country. We do not expect much
uniformity In the answers, be-
cause of lack of uniformity in
the conditions. There is now a
chance for the eighty-acre farm
err, who sometimes feels that he
is overlooked, to have a hearing.

Mr.. CARY AND THE SCHOOLS.

Under this heading the Milwaukee
Journal publishes the following article,
which is fair, thoughtful. and instruct
tive:
1T has not escaped anyone at all in
terested in education that the superin-
tendent Of public instruction has had u
great deal to say about the university
Mr.. Cary has written several long and
weighty letters, the burden of which
has been that the state university in In
a very bad way; that it is poorly ad-
ministered, that 1t wastes fortunes, that
II Is u breeding ground of various evils
Mr.. Cary admits somewhat grudingly
that the university has some good
points, but II there are any wrong
things possible in the university from
which it does not suffer, which it was
not guilty. it would be difficult to say
what they are.
1.-The only possible effect of all this
Is to create distrust of the university.
1t is not useful, for those who know
anything about the matter understand
clearly enough that this is politics, that
MIR. CarY's kind of politician does not
like the university, and that Mr. Cary
is making II bid for the political support
of those who do not like any OF the
Progressive features of the state. The
University of Wisconsin is too widely
and favorably known to suffer much in
reputation through the country. Term
ed years ago 1.-THE leading state univer-
sity" by DR.. Eliot. then president of
Harvard, it has grown steadily in capa
city, in reputation and in it's practical
services to the state. But Mr.. Cary
does not like the university, SO good
deal of MIR. Cary's time, which is sup
posed to go to making the schools of
Wisconsin the best possible, has gone
of late to i'll tempered criticism of the
university.
Meanwhile what kind of record
has Mr.. Cary made in his ten years AT
superintendent for the public school
system of Wisconsin, Undertaking tc
criticize the university AS he does, hi
should, of course, be able to show that
the public schools of the state rank
very high.

WELL DESERVED PRAISE.

George ID. Cline. presidential elector
from the Tenth district, In reporting
the meeting of the electors in Madison
justly speaks Of two men who led in
the fight for progressive Democracy in
Wisconsin and helped TO make it possible
to carry the state for Woodrow Wilson.
Here is Whist Mr.. Cline says:
Another very pleasant feature of the
day was the acceptance of an invitation
by Joe Davies and MIR. Awkward to
lunch with them at the Madison club
house. The Democratic party of the
state is indebted to both of these men
for helping make 1t possible to carry
the state for Wilson. MIR. Davies
especially is man of whom the state
is likely to have an opportunity of being
very proud. EARLY in the campaign
Mr.. Wilson stated that Mr.. Davies was
one of the very few men in whose
Judgment he had perfect confidence.
AS result he was placed in u position
to enable him to render great service
for the Wilson party in the west. AS a
recognition of these services and the
ability displayed in rendering them he
is almost certain of II place in the
cabinet, He is Il man of much native
refinement, Judgment far seeing and
accurate and absolutely free from those
traits that render "A person in any way
assailable. Wisconsin will have reason
to be proud of him.

ROOT SPEAKS FOR
Equal Canal. FEE
New York Senator Argues Case
in Convincing Manner.
QUESTION IS ONE OF HONOR

Urges Repeal Of Exemption of AmerI-
can Ships from Toll and Submission
of Whole Matter to Impartial Ar
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Hay-Paunce-
fote Treaty, as He Views Them.
Washington, Jan. 22.-"The United
! States should either submit the Pan
anna free toll question to impartial ar
| bitration or retire from the position
We have taken" was the declaration
of Senator Root in the senate in a
/ speech favoring repeal of the free toll
provision of the new Panama canal
act.
Senator Root took the position that
congress should not have passed law
last summer that Disseminated
against foreign shipping and granted
free tolls to American coastwise ship
ping. That action, he declared, had
been source of great regret to
multitudes of our fellow citizens" and
had created a painful impression
throughout the world"
Senator Root was an active oppo-
nent of the free toll provision when
the canal act passed last August, and
his speech opened a fight to secure
an amendment to the law before it
goes into effect.
Says Britain Made Sacrifice.
"a decent regard for the opinions
of mankind was one of the motives
set by the people of the colonies into
the great declaration of their indie
pendence," said Senator Root. He
outlined the relations between the
United States and Great Britain which
had led up to the making of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty of 1901, under
which the canal was constructed.
"The United States gave up nothing
1t then had" said the senator. Its
obligations in that treaty were en-
tirely looking to the future. But
Great Britain gave up it's rights to the
protectorate over the Mosquito coast,
which 1t was supposed would be the,
eastern terminus of the canal"
From the treaty with Great Britain
Senator Root read the declaration
that the proposed canal was to be
open ION equal terms to ALL"
THAT declarations the cornerstone
Of the rights of the United States at
the Panama canal" he said. .,.s .
Obligation Of the Nation. :,
Representations by the United
States when the Hay-Pauncefote trea-
ty was made put the United States un-
der specific obligation to make the
canal a great highway open on equal
terms to the world" continued the
senator. -t@ n.r
He read from statements made at
that time by the United States repre-
| sentatives that "the United States
| would not if it could obtain any ex-
elusive rights over the canal"
ION that representation Great Brit
ain relinquished her right to all con-
troll over the future Of the Panama
canal" said Senator Root, land con-
scented to the abandonment of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty"
While the United States was given
| authority over the construction and
operation Of the canal said Senator
Root, that authority was based direct
~ on the provision that it should be
without impairing the general prin-
ciples Of naturalization" that had been
contained in article of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.
Senator Newlands spoke briefly In
opposition to Senator Roots views.

WORK TOGETHER.

There is natural, logical and desira.
BILE method of controlling Legislation in
the assembly and this is for Progress
sive Republicans and Progressive
Democrats to work together by com
mon accord and wholly in the interest
of the people. In the principles in
which they believe and in the spirit
that moves them there il very little
difference between genuinely Pro-
gressive Democrat and = genuinely
Progressive Republican. Senator Gore
once gave utterancc to thought which
is most apt and very illuminating on
this point While he was in Wisconsin
about three years ago, the senator was
asked what difference there was be-
tween Progressive Democrat like
himself and Progressive Republican
like Senator La Toilette. ITO tell you
the truth" the blind statesman quickly
replied, IL tried to have microscopes
put on the free list so that we might
tell the difference" He was right. In
national affairs, except for the doctrine
Of states rights and few shades OF
difference Of opinion regarding tariff
duties, there Is little or no difference In
the aims and purposes Of Progressive
Republicans and Progressive Demo
Gratis. 1t IL matter Of record that
even on important tariff questions they
have reconciled their opinions and have
worked and voted together. When 1t
comes down to distinctly state affairs,
~ In Wisconsin, all points OF difference
virtually disappear. There may be
some conflict Of Judgment as to
details, but there IL general agreement
as to principles. Milwaukee journal.
Progressive Republicans and demo-
cratic Democrats in the Wisconsin
legislature ought to work together for
the welfare Of the state. Party pre-.
judice ought not to keep them apart.
They ought to do good team work.
Tens Of thousands Of the best Re-
publicans IN the state voted for Wilson
and Marshall and placed Wisconsin in
the Democratic column, 1t was fine
and manly thing to do, II ought to
inspire every fair and manly citizen of
the state With desire to truly serve
the country rather than to seek mere
party advantage. But Democratic
,aaelhbers Of the legislature can best
ssfve the state and theit party too by
setting their Face as flint gainst mis-
leaders who would have them obstruct
the Progressive Republican majority.
1t Is the duty Of Democrats to 20
forward with the modern trend Of
political thought and action. Those,
who would stand still or go backward
are asking for what they call harmony.
But theirs would be the harmony Of
ieath, not the harmony Of life. The
harmony most to be desired is the har.
mony of militant democracy going on
to fight the peoples battle for equal
rights for all and special privileges for
none.
Democrats in the legislature seize
your opportunity and put the party
right before the voters Of the state.

COMMENTS ON PROBABLE Eff
ECT-RAILROADS' REVENUE
DECREASING ANNUALLY FOR
PAST FEW YEARS
BY HOLLAND.

New, York. October 9.-(Special. )-While
the topic of pre-eminent interest to the
representatives of the American bankers
who have during the present week been
holding their annual meeting at Boston
was the currency bill now before Con-
gress yet another topic was undoubtedly
informally discussed, for it relates TO a
matter concerning which American bank
ers have had much to say to one another
in the past year. That American busi-
ress energy and skill will be sufficient
to bring about speedy readjustment of
business to the new tariff is the prac-
tically unanimous opinion of bankers in
this city and in other large cities. That
American bankers will accommodate
themselves as far as possible to what
ever new banking and currency system
Congress sees fit to adopt is also adj
mitted. But there is one factor in our
general condition which occasions no lit
tie concern and which may prove to be
the great disturbing and paralyzing in
fluence in American business life.
This factor is the general railroad sit
uation. Bankers have been, for some
time talking about this among them
selves, and with some anxiety. That rail-
way managers should say in public that
unless there be some change in the atti-
tude of legislators and the interstate COM
merce. commission toward the American
railroads very serious complications will
