THERE'S TO YOU. 10"

Under the above heading in The Wis
consin State journal Richard Lloyd
Jones thus greets hs friend Joseph IT,
Davies:
Unusual il the honor paid to Joseph
II. Davies. The Wisconsin state lcgis-
lature, Republican, by unanimous vote
urges upon President elect Wilson the
name of Joseph e. Davies, n Democrat.
for cabinet position. This il indeed II
testimony of character and esteem, n
handsome compliment. Here's to you.
10; you deserve it.
Joseph II. Davies deserves it, indeed
he does In all the political history of
Wisconsin there il no more pleasing
chapter than that of the good team
work done by John A. Alyward and
Joseph Il. Davies, partners in law and
politics. Realizing that the Democrat
ic party could not be true to its herit-
age and well serve the state unless it
were progressive, they worked together
strenuously to have the organization in
Wisconsin squarely face the future and
help to rightly solve present day polti-
cal problems.
In the Wilson movement they were
among the earliest and most effective
risers in the nation. The victory for
the national ticket in Wisconsin crown
ed their efforts
The unanimous endorsement of Mr..
Davies by the legislature was indeed II
gracious act. 1t marks new and bet
ter era in Wisconsin politics.

II OUGHT TO PASS.

Speaker Merlin IiuIl's bill to prevent
stroy competition is good measure
and ought to become law. Iowa has "A
like statute and it promotes the public
welfare, Special interests have at two
previous sessions defeated this measure
in Wisconsin; aud lobbyists are now at
work to defeat it again. People generally
ought to wake up to the Importance Of
the question at issue, and give their
representatives to understand that they
want the Hull fair trade bill passed.
BY this sort Of legislation monopoly
can be squeezed out of business.

Democrats Who Are Not Democrats

democrats VINO Are not Democrats.
Editorial in The New York World
When it comes to tariff plumber, the
Democratic members of the Florida
Citrus Exchange are Of one mind with
the Republican members Of the Califor-
MIA Citrus Exchange. They threaten
that If under the new administration
they are deprived of cornered market
in this country they will bolt the Dem
ocratic party
Soon we shall have other menaces Of
the same kind, and if the Democrats
prove true to their pledges we need not
doubt that there will be some actual
defections. Besides orange and lemon
Democrats, there are sugar Democrats
iron and steel Democrats. zinc Demo
Gratis and Standard Oil Democrats
Every one of them will be angry when
his own cherished graft is taken out Of
the tariff.
If these were all the Democrats the
case would be pretty serious, but they
are not. There are millions of Demo
Gratis who have no license from govern
ment to gougc their neighbors, and
there are millions of Republicans who
in u pinch will help them choke off the
gluttons of both parties who have fat
tened 80 long at public expense.

While at Madison last week the writ

in whose support for State Superintend-
ent many friends of all the schools are
uniting. His appearance plainly marks
him as every inch right good educa

pulses; and he stands whole heartedly
for the Improvement and upbuilding of
all of our educational institutions, from
the lowest to the highest. His election
would be an inspiration to the youth of
the state - to SGT their hearts upon

consin, but in the United States. Mr..
Davies is returning from Liverpool,
where he was called by the illness of
his mother.
Davies is a University of Wiscon-
sin man and a Wilson progressive of
the dashing type. He is a brilliant
orator and is one of the best known
men in Wisconsin. He gained a ma
tional reputation by reason of his
work as secretary of the Democratic
national committee, and more partic-
ula~ly by his work as MANAGER of the
western bureau. with Headquarters in
Chicago, of Governor Wilson during
the campaign. He also was a con
spicuous figure in the Baltimore con
vention.
Effect of the Endorsement.
Now that a Wisconsin Republican
legislature has gone out of its way
to indorse Democrat, politicians are
specializing on what the effect of this
Endorsement will be in the event that
Davies does not go to Washington
1t has several times been suggested
that he may decline any appointment
that is offered to him. Davies is a
man of unusual type, as we'll as a man
of considerable means and there is
some question as to whether an ap-
pointment by Mr.. Wilson will lure him
from this state. That he will remain
active in politics is considered GER.
tain. If he decides not to leave Wis
consin and the present NcGovern-La
Toilette row continues and splits the
Republican party vote, Davies may be
the next governor of Wisconsin. Tired
of fractional strife, it has already been
pointed out that his candidacy would
be likely to draw heavily from the
progressive Republican ranks

He notes the fact that the census
statistics and general conditions show
a marked Improvement in our agricul
ture during the last decade. The only
fact to be regretted in connection with
the development OF the state along
this line is the fact that the gain in

been only II per cent. Names gar

are we'll worth preserving, and with
his kind permission are herewith again
presented to the public:
The area OF the State is Ie.I32.9oo

have 6o,oIo farms. an increase of ~
in ten years, with about the same av-
erage acreage-Io49 acres. This farm
land, the buildings thereon, with farm
machinery and domestic animals, is
valued at SGooI7I,9o4. an increase over
1000 OF 62S per cent. The average
price OF farm land rose from about

of these farms are operated by own
ers and managers with only 4.3 per
cent in the hands of tenants. and Al
800 OF them are free from mortgage
While the average mortgage debt on
farms seems to have increased in the
past twenty years 5S.S per cent. the
average value OF the same farms has
increased 97.6 per cent. and while the
average mortgage debt was given as
