To THE FARMERS OF Villas
COUNTY:

Having been appointed Agri-
cultural Representative of the
University of Wisconsin, in Villas
county, it is our earnest wish to
become as useful to the farmers
of the county as possible. This
usefulness will quite largely de-
pend on the willingness of the
farmers to cooperate.
The Office of Agricultural Rep
resentative is not a wisdom fac
tory where all good agricultural
practices originate. 1t is rather
a clearinghouse or gathering
place for practices, observed
when visiting farms or when en-
gagged in actual farming. There
is hardly a farmer anywhere who
does not do some things well. If
these things are observed and
brought to the attention of
others much benefit should re-
suit. l shall consider this an i'm
portant part of my work.
The work will be carried on
and assistance freely given along
the following lines. This list Civ
en- is not exhaustive but is given
merely to give some idea of the

Emerson Branch. r. G. MASTERTON. Mfr.

Some weeks ago the Pioneer Express
announced its policy as to the support OF
candidates previous to the primary. We
look upon the candidacy Of the individ-
ual candidate At this time as q purely
personal matter Of his own. Under the
present primary law anybody can aspire
to nomination, and anybody can use his
own methods of securing such nomina-
ton. II the individual wants to use COL
umus Of the Pioneer Express. it is his
privilege and the law fixes the rate. On
other hand, If he does not think he would
get value received. he would be foolish
to advertise.
Editorially, the Pioneer Express is not
for sale and never was.
If Mr.. Geiger desires us to print his
communication, which in effect is plea
for votes, then as legislator he ought to
know that all such communications are
by the laws of North Dakota, (made while
he was member of the legislature, ,)paid
matter at five cents line. and that we
would have to mark it as such at the
end of the communication. We person
ally don't like the law, but that is the
law and we must abide byit.
incidentally, we may add this is one
of the results of the fool primary law.
First it makes party nominations the re-
suit of individual aspiration and person.
al ambition, thus eliminating the class of
men whom we most need and who will
not seek Office.
Then after giving it over to the per-
soaal self-seeker, the law places undue
limits on what be shall do to get Office,
and particularly in newspaper advertis-
ing. In this latter regard, whether Mr.
Geiger said so, or believes so. the legis-
lature has by inference said that same
thing, to.wit: that the newspapers. or
the most of them, are editorially for sale
to the highest bidders, politically-and
fixed the legal fee.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Last week, the Hamilton Independent
explained that it would not support Mr..
Geiger for nomination on the ground
that Mr.. G had stated 'sThat the news.
papers without exception are corrupt in
their advocacy of men and measures
We have at hand letter from Mr..
Geiger in which he denies making such
statement, but says what he did say
was to the effect "That the writings OF
some of the editors were not taken very
seriously by the general public = = and
that the Independent favored the kecl.
procity bill because the bill contained
clause favorable to the newspapers" }"
s'That Editor Wood said I was weak
with the newspapers because I did not
support them and that he for one would
not support me for that reason"
The Pioneer Express has nothing to
do with this controversy, and only prints
the above just to let our readers know
what the trouble is about.
Mr.. Geiger states also in the letter
that he cannot afford to advertise in the
papers. and that his name will appear in
the three Official papers as published by
tho county auditor according to law,
which apparently Is all tho publicity
that he seeh from thenewspspers.

It Is almost funny to SEQ the gravity
with which the Csaadiaa aud English
papers discuss the possibilities involved
by the large emigration Of Americans to
Canada. Last week the Toronto CORE.
spondent Of the London Times wrote an
alarm article over the Americauixing of
Canada and that ponderous Journal dis.
cusses it editorially. OF course they
think over there that it means annexa.
ton. II annexation ever does come it is
that the present generation
and several more to como need not
worry much about. It takes two people
to make make a marriage Or fight.
But that Canada will be Aunsicanizod
within it's own borders there Is no doubt.
There are already enough Americans
there to do it in time, and there are
thousands more going over there IN the
near future to help do the job. But this
sort Of Americanizing will be for and
within Canada,-and will be for the
benefit Of Canada.

Matters which may later involve
war are largely theoretical.
War itself is a condition and grim
fact.
Theories are debatable, but facts
must be faced.
War admits Of no argument.
Now-we must face and follow the
flag.

BACKING OUT OF rAmPIco.

That Tampico incident in which the
American men-of-war were withdrawn
to the outer roadstead, because as it is
said, fears we're entertained that the
Mexlcans would be mad if they remain.
ed there and do damage to the Ameri-
cans still in the city, made us feel rather
chagrined. The same citizens of the
United States on shore have protested
and did protest against such almost
cowardly appearing action,-and they
were the people who were most con-
|cerned.
From what experience this writer
has had with that kind of people, with
drawal is the last thing that should be
on the program. That is the poor set
way to deal with Mexicans.
The fact is that Vera Cruz could have
been taken without the loss of one of
the men whose bodies were brought
home for burial this week.
Notice of very few hours, later en-
forced by the planting Of few l2 inch
shells in prominent parts of either Of
the cities of Vera Cruz or Tampico,
would have depopulated those cities
very quickly, and the marines could
have landed without loss of life by
"snipers." The navy had the power if
needed to have demolished every build
ing in either city. SO that there would
have been no piece for the cowsrdly
snipers to hide.
OF course is would lave made big
loss of property, but the loss would have
been the fault of the Mexican citizens
and we would prefer to see the Mexicans
lose property, than to see American
sailors lose their lives.
And the property loss would not have
been very great, for as we said the city
would have been vacated mighty quick
when the big guns started.
After the battle Of Manila was fought.
Dewey had no force to send ashore to
take charge Of the city. but he held it
and held it quiet. until the soldiers ar

guns on the city.
