SHOWED BOSS RULE
Significant Result of Recent Pro-
gressive Primaries.
Explanation Made Seems to Reject on
the New Party a. the Champions
Of Nomination by Primaries
Instead Of Bosses.

The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
have been the champions OF the pri-
mary, as against the party convention.
TO defeat boss rule. II there is a Pro
gressive party now in existence II has
not made itself manifest In the pri-
maries so far held in any state. The
story is the same in Pennsylvania.
Ohio and Kansas. The Progressive
vote was insignificant In all these
states. and the explanation offered is
that there were no contests for the
nominations and therefore no incen-
tive for the Progressives TO show their
hands in the primaries. That was the
small vote in Pennsylvania, for Mr..
Garfeld's insignificant vote in Chic,
and for Mr.. Murdock's vote of less
than ten thousand in Kansas.
The explanation may prove true in
November, but it seriously reflects on
the professions of the Progressives as
the champions of nominations by pri-
maries to defeat the rule OF the bosses.
In every state named the Progressive
candidates were hand-picked. They
were selected by an organization ma
chine, perhaps a geatieman's agree
ment. There was oaly one Progressive
candidate at the primaries. The Pro
gressive voters had no part in the Sc
lection OF the candidates they are to
vote for in Novmeber. The leaders of
this party of political purists have
been more successful in boss rule than
ever were Thomas C. Plat and Mat
thew s. Quay in their palmiest days.
The Progressive party was made up
OF men who had been persuaded that
the bosses and not the rank and file
controlled the Republican party. They
revolted against boss rule and opposed
conventions as too easily controlled by
the bosses. They refused TO be like
sheep, herded and delivered to this
candidate or that one.
That the great majority of them
were honest in this belief goes without
saying. II is also to be assumed that
the great majority of those men who
followed Roosevelt out of the Repub-
iiNdu party SlAAl DtllSNe III iu6 primary
as the only fair and honest way to
make party nominations, and that they
are just as much opposed to hand
picked Progressive candidates as they
were two years ago to conyention-se-
leeted candidates. They do not diff
ferentiate as to party bosses. They
are as Indifferent to the party whip
when cracked by Colonel Roosevelt,
Mr.. Pinchot, Mr. Garfield and Mr.. Muir
dock as they were to the old party
whip in the hands of the Republican
leaders. This would appear to be the
only explanation OF the small Progress
sive vote in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Kansas. in keeping with the profess
sions of Progressives.
The new party has in two years be-
come boss ridden. and like the Popu-
list party Of 20 years ago, one cam
paign exhausted its strength as well
as its principles. 1t was a quarter
horse In politics.

HossIns Down Corn.

Many consider it shiftless method
to turn swine into small fields of
ripened corn and allow them to har.
vest the crop. However, there are
many advantages to be gained by fol.
lowing this system Where hogs are
being fall fattened.
Farmers as well as investigators at
the agricultural experiment station.
University Of Wisconsin, have found
that besides saving the labor of har-
vesting the crop. the pigs are usually
more thrifty, make slightly better
gains and IL properly handled there is
little or no waste Of feed.
OF course. in ''hogging down" field,
care should be taken in getting the
swine accustomed to the full ration of
corn to prevent them from overeating
at the outset. Spring pigs are best
for this system Of feeding. II has
been estimated that an acre of corn
yielding so bushels will feed 20 spring
pigs for from eighteen to twenty days

The Wage is The Foundation.

When country is prosperous, wage
earners buy homes, and those homes
must be built for them. II is ques-
ton of supply and demand. OF course
we cant import homes. They are
built here and by labor employed by
builders on this side of the Atlantic.
If wage-earning home seekers are
not enjoying an income from their la
Dor that enables them to purchase
homes. the building industry Ian
guishes.
As a matter OF fact. the wage is the
foundation upon which the home is
erected, and anything that interferes
with the wage and reduces II serious
ly affects the building industry. Can
II be truthfully said at this time that
the tariff has had nothing TO do with
the "lull in business ?"-Trenton IN

Maryland and Louisiana.

Mr.. Roosevelt has been advised that
disaffected Democrats in Maryland are
turning to the bull moose party, and
he is eaid to be much heartened by the
information.
Why to the bull moose party! Why
not to the Republican party?
The Republican party in Maryland
has for years been strong and well led.
Its leadership has been native. and
representative of the best citizens in
the state. Ability and character have
both been manifested. A Republican
governor-and a good one-is now in
Office.
When the great national crisis came
in 1896, Maryland threw her weight
into the scale for sound mone5 Many
Democrats voted for Mckinley that
year. and repeated the performance
four years later. The Republican
party was then their refuge. Why not
now?

HAVE COME BACK TO PARTY
Recent Primaries Show That Repub,
leans Are Rapidly Leaving the
Progressive Ranks.

Statewide primaries have now test
ed the political Sentiment OF states
which held markedly different opin-
ions, or differed sharply in the relative
strength Of the great parties, in the
presidential election of 1912. In all
OF them the result has been the same
in showing a great change OF feeling
in favor Of the Republican party, and
pointing to a political revolution next
November.
In Minnesota and Pennsylvania the
order. two years ago. was Roosevelt
first Wilson second and Taft third. In
Iowa and Kansas the Democratic can
didate led. with the Progressive sec
ond and the Republican last In Ohio
the first place fell to Wilson. with Taft
next and Roosevelt last
This year, in the popular vote pri-
maries, these states all went the same
way. All of them put the Republican
ticket far above either of the others.
In all of them the virtual disappear
anee of the Progressive vote showed
that the Progressives had returned TO
the party which they left in 1919.
In every one of these states. all OF
which voted against the Republican
ticket in 1912. the Republican vote
this year was much larger than the
combined vote of the Democrats and
the Progressives. Contests or no con-
tests. il was everywhere the same.
The meaning of the figures recorded is
too plain to be misunderstood. Union
between the Republicans and the Pro
gressives has taken place Demo.

Income Tax FaIIacy.

The economists who assert IL is for
tunate that congress levied the income
tax on the ground that otherwise the
government would be confronted with
a much larger deficit than the Euro
pean war is producing, do not think
back further than the day the Under
wood bin became law. The fact is
that the tariff revisers in Washington
reduced the rates and put commodities
on the free, list with the knowledge
that 1t would reduce the customs reve-
nues between s75.Oo0OOO and 100000
600. To make up this deficit they levied
the income tax. Had they passed a
revenue tariff bill, designed to raise
money for the support OF government
the income tax would have been un-
necessary, and all money needed would
have been pouring in at the customs
houses these many months. American
business would be in a much more
prosperous condition than war now
finds It.

Predict Good Cranberry Crop.

Wisconsin cranberry growers are
optimistic over their crop prospects.
They predict that the harvest will
be considerably larger than a year
ago. but not as large as that taken In
1912. The season has been exception
ally favorable from the standpoint OF
frosts, there having been but few
nights when the vines had to be pro-
tected by water. Heavy rainfall dur
ing the early summer aided in the con-
troll of insect pests, which are less
numerous than they have been for
several years.
In general 1t is considered that the
cranberry crop is a few days in ad-
vance of the season, and, If the pres
ent weather conditions continue, the
harvest probably will begin during the
present week.
Growers in some of the leading cram
berry districts have been cooperating
with the University of Wisconsin ag-
Ticultural experiment station this year
in an effort to control insects and fun
gous diseases which attack the plants.
