Last week Tuesday, in Milwaukee,
at West Side Turner hall, demo
cratic convention was held for the
purpose of naming ticket to be voted
for at the September primary. There
were upwards of 500 present. After
the usual routine OF business of a
political gathering of that nature the
following ticket was named:
For United States Thomas
NJ. Kearney, Racine.
For,Governor-John G. Karel, Mil
Waukee.
For Lieutenant-G overnor-Willis
Ludlow, Monroe.
For Secretary of State-Fred Raw
son, Plainfleld.
For State Treasurer Fisher,
Marinette.
For Attorney General Charles a.
Kading. Watertown.
Previous to the conventions action,
the following announced themselves
as candidates for the offices mentioned:
For United States Senator-Paul o.
Husting, Mayville.
For Governor-John A. Aylward,
Madison.
So far, so good. The PILOT is of
the opinion that under the laws of
our state all who care to come under
their provisions, may run for
Office. After the primary scramble,
there should be getting together a
harmony meeting and the democrats
back the candidates selected to a
man. That's the only way the demo-
Gratis can win in Wisconsin. 1t is by
opposition that democrats are kept
within their own party ranks and a
sufficient per cent. secured to place a
full ticket in every precinct in the
state under the party heading. The
idea of clubbing each other as
"tories' and "progressives, IS ali
the veriest kind of nonsense.
There was never better chance
for the democrats to carry Wisconsin,
but you might as well try to make
water run up stream as to try to elect
a democrat to Office with one faction
hauling one way because the candi-
date was not. an original Wilson man
and the other faction hauling another
because he was.
Let the democrats fight each other
up to the primary election and then,
for goodness sake, have enough horse
sense to harmonic on the successful
candidates.

SECRETARY BRYAN gave Colonel
Roosevelt dressing down which he
will not forget for some time. He
showed up the ex-president in a very
unfayorable light; ne showed that
Roosevelt was president seven and
one-half years and during that time
never made no effort to reduce the
tariff; that he believes in the regula-
tion of monopoly rather than the
prevention of il; that more trusts
were formed under RooSevelt's adj
ministration than in any similar
period, that Roosevelt's campaign
fund of 1904 was drawn from corpora
tions; that Roosevelt during his ad-
ministration did nothing on the cur
rency question and that he had no
ideas upon that question except those
borrowed from Wall street Roose-
yelt is 50 mad that he can't say any
thing. The fact is all is only too
true.

THE OLD TRADE DOLLAR.
And the Exact Ratio of Gold to Silver
In the Year 1870.


In the Year 1879.
Three mining engineers were gather.
ed together the other day. and the
question as to the value of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as It may
seem, no one knew its value. and there
was considerable haziness as to the
exact value of an ounce of pure gold
or of the old fashioned value Of an
ounce of silver. says correspondent
in the Engineering anG Mining Jour-
nal Calculations which I made seem
ed to indicate that the ratio of gold to
silver in 1870 was not exactly 16 to /.
Possibly it may be of interest to the
profession to know the exact figures
which have received from the assay
er Of the mint bureau. United States
treasury.
Coinage value of one ounce pure
gold is $20.671S34625. A convenient
fact. easy to remember, regarding this
figure is that forty-three ounces OF coin
gold, 900 fine, are worth $500

The reign of Yictorianc

THE reign of Victoriano Huerta
ended on the 10th of July and the
provisional presidency was turned
over by him to Francisco Carbaial.
The families of Huerta and Banquet
arrived in Puerto, Mexico on the same
day, from which they boarded a
German vessel for Europe. This is
a sad blow to the jingoes and SYM
pathizers of the speculative interests
of Mexico, generally, who had ex-
pected that the present administra-
tion was going to do something so
horrible that it would simply put it
ont of business. The downfall of
Huerta is regarded as a great victory
for President Wilson.

Justice of the Supreme Court OF
Wisconsin, is being considered for a
position in United States supreme
court to succeed the late Justice Lur-

and the further fact that Justice
Winslow is one of the very eminent
men in his profession of this country,
should induce President Wilson, with
out any hesitancy, to appoint Justice
Winslow to the position.

LONG HELD IN HONOR
SEAMAN'S MAGAZINE OF AN.
GENT HISTORY.
Claims to Be the Oldest Religious
Publication of Its Kind In America
Famous for introduction of
Hymn That Lives.

Oldest of all religious magazines in
America is tho Sailors Magazine,
published by tho American Seamens
Friend society, New York. Started in
1928, it has appeared without interrupt
ton ever since. Its monthly issue has
been printed by the same family from
father to son for twenty five or twen-
ty-eight years. For 60 years it's cover
was unaltered
In this magazine appeared for the
first time the world-famous hymn,
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me-" 1t was
written by e. Hopper then pastor Of
the little old Church OF tho Sea and
Land, its ediGce still standing, but al
most unknown to this generation of
New Workers. Colonel Roosevelt's
first speech, made when he was q
boy, is also recorded here. Romances
are traceable through it's pages-true
stories of adventure. herosm and
tragedy that make up the life OF the
sea-
One such story is behind the brief
account Of the loan Libraries sent to
sea by the dowager duchess Of Aber-
deem after her visit to America. The
present earl Of Aberdeen, lord lieuten-
ant OF Ireland, had a brother. This
brother was the real heir to the title,
but long years ago he came to this
country from England, and shipped
from here as a common sailor under
the name Of Gordon. He rose to the
position of mate, but shortly after
that was drowned at sea. His mother
came here and gave in his memory
the libraries that today are multiplied
and sent over the ocean to as great
number as the funds Of the society
permit.
The magazine incarnatcs also his
tory Of the change in the usage Of
English. 1t is a most valuable account
Of the moral tono Of the past. Ono
OF tho chaplains OF the United States
navy says in an article which the
old issues hold, that he wishes they
would fog the men forward, instead
OF art for the reason that it disturbed
his evening mcdi;ations.
Probably the first account Of tho
free churches in Sweden was pub
lishcd in the magazine. These
churcAcS are now grown to be rivals
Of the State church there.
1t was started, this brave little
herald Of the sailors life. with $50
subscribers, all in New York city. At
the end Of the first year, 1920, it had
gathered, in Boston, Philadelphia and
Charleston, S. G., 200. It's oldest sub
scribcr today is Asher Sheldon Of
.bn ,,,,
ID his one hundredth birthday He
has been on the lists OF The Seamcn's
society for 40 years.

AS to hmaZons.

Not few fancy horseback riding
for women is comparatively new. TO
be sure our great grandmOthcrs rode
on pillions, but they were OF ii day
when it was the fashion to be delicate
Later the sex took up riding, sdcwiso
of course, but now many ride across
just as did tho AmaZons OF old
Though having the Amazon river for
namcsake, these doughty danes arc
supposed to have come from the coun-
try about the Caucasus. their chief
seats being along river when emp
ties into the Black sea. They invaded
at various times Thrace, Asia Minor
islands, OF the Aegean. Greece. Syria.
Arabia, Egypt and Lbya.
Tho ninth labor OF Hercules was to
take from them the girdls OF the queen
OF the AmaZons. 1t was very un-
pleasant affair, as you no doubt re-
member. Instead Of showing fight.
Hippolyta was sensible to his manly
charms and gave him her grdlo with.
out struggle and even went boating
with him.
Juno took alarm, warned the ANA
IONS that their queen was being car
ried off, and they descended upon tho
ship. Thinking Ilippolyta had been
treacherous, Hercules slew her and
sailed away with the girdle.
SO much for tho Amazons.
