CHEAPEST AND BEST.

The cheapest and best way to improve
the streets of Mineral Point is to put
cement curbs and cutters on the steep
hillsides at least and to cover the road
way with bound macadam. If you
have any doubts AS to the truth of this
proposition go about through the town
and see what he's become of the thou T..
sands Of loads Of loose macadam which
has been placed on the streets in recent
years. Particularly note the work of
destruction by the late heavy rain
storms, You will not have to go very
far. Near the south end of Wisconsin
street, over in the Jeuck neighborhood
is striking object lesson. Only very
few years ago the street was improved
Now it is worse than before 1t pre-
sents n picture Of utter destruction.

A GOOD WORD FOR MINERAL
POINT.

II. H. Rhodes of Hennessey, Okla
homa, spent day or two in town last
week with his friend and fellow worker
Robert s. Crawford Mr.. Rhodes rep
resents Allyn & Bacon, publishers of
high school and college text books, and
his business has called him into many
parts of the country. This was his first
visit to Mineral Point; and he expressed
himself AZ most favorably impressed
with the town and the surrounding
country. Here are some Of the features
of the prospect which pleased him :
The altitude is high, and all the higher
points of the town command views of
rich and beautiful country, the cult
waited land all bearing fine crops, and
the grass land all covered with close
sward of uncommon greenness. Every
where throughout the town are large
oaks, naples, elms, and other fine trees
OF the forest. There are very many
fine homes, with large and well kept
grounds surrounding. The churches
and school houses have fine sites and
are imposing structures in good archi
lecture. Down town there are fine bus
mess houses and many other evidences
Of progress. These and other good fea-
lures make Mineral Point u pleasant
dwelling place.
The Democrat presents this brief
sketch MS the favorable opinion of men
who yearly go into hundreds of school
townsville best towns -throughout the
country. 1t IL published not in spirit
Of Boosting. but rather to impress upon
our people the richness and fullness of
their heritage, and to inspire them with
loyal determination to work together
for the common good of the community
We have a town to be proud Of. Let
us all take true pride in it.

TURNING TO USHER.

There Is Il strange turn to things po
litical when Stalwart Republican news
papers publish with approval articles
written by our esteemed friend Ellis b.
Usher. Some years ago, as editor of
The Lacrosse Chronicle, II right good
progressive Democratic newspaper, Mr..
Usher said good things every week in
the year; yea, every day in the week ;
but the Republican editors who are now
giving his articles first page space in
their publications quoted never IA word
Of his economic and political truths,
Their chief delight and constant occu-
patton was to publish abroad the ro
mances of the Home Market Club
There must be some cause for their
change Of heart, or change Of tactics
Historians say that when Sir Robert
Peel turned against protection and Sc
cured the repeal Of the corn laws the
landlords of Great Britain so choked
with rage that they could not voice an
accusation against him; and that then
Disraeli seized the opportunity and, us
ing his great power of invective against
the administration, secured the leader
ship of the conservative party. And so
It has come to pass here in Wisconsin
in this twentieth century that the Stall
wart Republicans. not dead, but almost
speechless from the manhandling they
have received from the more progress
sive element Of their own party, are
now turning to an able Democrat as
their champion. to indict the State nd =
ministration in particular and forward
looking men in general, The situation
Is full of interest.

SUPPORT WILSON AND BRYAN
A Letter Written by T. L. CIeary to
The Milwaukee Journal.

The Milwaukee Journal.
To the Editor Of The journal: The
Democratic party in this state is very
much like the Republican party in the
nation. 1t made serious mistake in
the last campaign. 1t brought about
ton. 1t sought success through as.
sistance of disgruntled members Of the
Republican party and neglected to sat
isfy the Progressive element in the
Democratic party. The state organiza-
ton met defeat, and went into debt
without authority.
assume that there is a great deal Of
soreness in Democratic ranks in this
state. The condition is much like it
was after the election Of 1904 The
majority at the Oshkosh convention in
sisted on seeking aid from the boiling
Republican faction and gave offense to
the Progressive element within their
own ranks. Defeat followed, and at the
next state convention the party was re-
organized, on n Progressive basis, with
out friction or protest | very much
doubt whether it can be done AZ well in
1914 IN it was in 1906. | am now as
was then and always have been utterly
opposed to the idea of recognizing men
AZ leading Democrats who vote and
work with the Stalwart element of the
Republican party The Stalwart ele-
ment in the Democratic party instead
of being n help, has always been a hin
drance to success. l do not believe in
Cancellation or compromise on vital
political principle.
The anti Wilson campaign before the
primaries and before election showed
clearly that there il an element that
calls itself Democratic in the party in
this state that is clearly the same thing
AZ Stalwart Republicanism. The
worst thing that could happen to the
Democratic party would be to win if
such an element were in control.
/ see no evidence of either repentance
or reform in that element in this state.
Its representatives are still lobbyists for
special interests and its leaders are
bowling because they are not preferred
in political appointments. Privately
they are full Of threats of how they are
going to bolt Wilson at the next cleo
ton. Amy efforts toward coaxing or
Cancellation by the Progressive Demo
Gratis will be deemed by conservatives
as cowardice.
Time will smooth out many of these
difficulties. The Republican party in
this state had to go through the same
experience. Now the Stalwart element
is of little account and not considered
at all politically. 1t has lost its power
to do mischief in the Republican party.
But inexperienced politicians in the
Democratic party see their only way to
success by combining with the worst
element in the Republican party. 1t
may take another defeat and another
deficit to show them the error of their
ways.
1t is generally conceded now that the
nomination and election of Wilson was
the best possible thing that could have
occurred for the benefit of the entire
nation.
The patriotic course for all Progress
sives is to support Wilson and Bryan
and the principles that they profess and
are putting into practical effect.
The day Of the standpatter has passed
away. This is a progressive age.

Wisconsin Pasture. Surname.

If the people in the drouth stricken
regions could see Wisconsin's pastures
at this time, there would be an exodus
to this state that would tax the rail
roads to their capacity. But the ser
ious feature of the situation is that
now, when these people should act.
they are not in position to do so. II
is a case something in line with the old
story of the roof that could not be
