Why Auto Turns Turtle.

On account of the large number of
automobiles turning turtle nowadays,
killing and manning many of the occu-
pants, there has been much thought on
the matter by which such accidents
will be less frequent. 1t has been said
apparently with good logic, that the
turning over of automobiles is not
caused by bad roads or fast driving; it
is because the driver loses his head and
consequently control of the machine.
The driver of an automobile when in
danger of turning turtle feels the
wheels skidding into the.ditch and in
tuitively turns the front wheels to the
center of the road. This has a ten
dency to turn the machine at right an
giles to the direction of the momentum
and turning over is inevitable, if the
machine is running at brisk speed.
Instead of doing this thing, the old and
experienced driver will turn the front
wheels to the bottom of the ditch when
the rear wheels are felt skidding; he
remains that way until he has the ma
chine under control The principle of
this rule is that as long as the wheels
are kept in line Of momentum the car
cannot turn over, but as soon as the
machine is headed across the line of
motion then it must roll, if the rate Of
speed is sufficiently great.

WHILE much stress is being laid upon
the platforms and principles upon which
the gubernatorial candidates are run
ming, the voter should remember that
the state executive can accomplish lit
tie or nothing in the shape of needed
reforms unless the legislature first
gives him the opportunity. The gov
ernor has no legislative functions ex-
cept as he may approve or dlsapprove
of proposed laws, that is, he is power
less to personally place any legislation
upon the statute books; and when you
hear candidate for governor say he
will do this or do that, so far as legis-
lation is concerned, remember that the
measure must first pass both the as
sembly and senate before he has an
opportunity to pass upon it. There
fore the vital point for you, Mr.. Tax
payer, to consider is this: Does the
candidate for the assembly in your dis
trict stand for economical and efficient
legislation Legislation which will not
take from US any of the better things
that should be retained but which will
at the same time eliminate waste and
give to the state sound, businesslike
administration? Look into the records
of your legislative candidates and sup
port the man who is best fitted and
will assist in giving to us the relief we
demand

Top o. the Year.

The calendar tells us that the year
begins on the first day of January. AL
most everyone thinks that it begins in
the spring. Neither is true. 1t begins
in October. The spring delusion is an
ancestral survival, like fear of the
dark, or tendency to stand with ones
back to the wall. To our unfortunate
forefathers, doomed to life-imprison-
ment in the fogs of an ill-conditioned
island, the return of the sun seemed
the renewal of life. To anyone who
has lived through a British winter, the
first snowdrop is an event, the first
cowslip blessing from the gods.
Not so to the more fortunate Ameri-
can. His winter sun has never ceased
to smile. His frosty days of dazzling
blue and white have shown him the
celestial country But his energy de-
creases with the first warm winds.
Spring is time of running down, not
of winding up. 1t is a season of senti-
mentality, of lassitude, of slackening
of mental fibre, overrated, overpraised.
Away with it,
The youth of the year is in October.
All colleges and universities are obliged
to conform to this rhythmic law. They
muster their cohorts under the banner
of autumn. All charitable societies
have found it necessary to adjust their
calendars to this beat of the human
pulse. ''Our year begins in October, .

THE platform conventions held by

THE platform conventions held by
both the Republican and Democratic
parties in Madison on September 18th
demonstrates the necessity of differ
ent plan to formulate party platforms.
Some one has said that the platforms
of both parties are like circle, facing
in all directions. Divided as Wisconsin
is by political factions, it can be truly
said that the platform of neither party
meets the approval of the leaders. In
deed, Mr.. Philip, republican candidate
for governor, read a statement to the
convention stating that the platform as
recommended and later adopted did not
wholly cover his ideas, and while he
endorsed it as far as it went, he wished
as a matter of record to say to the vot
ers of Wisconsin that he personally
stood upon the platform as adopted at
the republican convention held in June,
upon which he made his primary cam
paign and upon which he received the
nomination for governor.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-10-02

A GREAT many people who partici-
pated in the recent primary election
voted their choice on governor, but
took no interest with respect to candi
dates for minor offices. Here it was
that so many ''pewees" slipped in;
hence that when the candidates of the
several parties gathered at Madison to
formulate their platforms, as provided
for in the primary election law, it
turned out that E. L. Philip, republi
can candidate for governor, was like
CULVER captured by Lilliputians. The
majority of the other individuals nom
mated to run on the republican ticket
proved itself amenable to the argu-
ments of Governor McGovern as candi-
date for the United States senatorship,
and naturally opposed to making men
ton of circumstances which would dis
credit his management of Wisconsin S
state affairs What was the keynote
of the campaign that resulted in more
votes being cast for Phillip than for
any other candidate running for office
this year in Wisconsin? Was it not,
down with eXtravagant expenditures,
and reduce the taXeS?' But that would
be condemnation of the state admin
iStration under which appropriations
had been expended and taxes had
grown. This was the consideration
that led the republican platform con-
vention to introduce its platform with
an endorsement of the republican ad-
ministration at Madison as we'll as of
the republicans representing this state
in the legislature of the nation. There
are good planks in the platform those
promising to weed out useless commits
sions and to place the educational fl
nances of the state under stricter sup
ervision. Besides this, Emanuel l..
Phillip is running for governor, and he
is a man whose word in politics is as
good as in business, who is for abiding
by political platform as scrupulously
as any other written contract His
personal platform, promulgated at the
time of his intimation to the people
that he would accept the nomination, is
as live now as it was then, and no one
will vote for him without full conf
dence that if elected he will do all in
his POWER as governor to carry out the
program outlined in his personal plat
form into effect at the earliest possible
moment Evening Wisconsin.

Effective Bravado.

Lord Cromer's quick and daring
methods in dealing with an Egyptian
rising are illustrated by the following
incident: There were rumors of ma
tive rising. Cairo was almost openly
disaffected, and the British garrison
was small. His lordship, however,
caused it to be known that regiment
was on the way from India, but he
was careful not to explain that. 1T con-
sisted of sick leave and time expired
men and bandsmen. All the able
bodied soldiers in garrison were order
ed to parade all over the town in small
parties, and the natives did not take in
the fact that they were sort of stage
army-the same men over and over
again. The last straw was when Lord
Cromer coolly put on f1annels and pub
licly played game after game Of ten
mis-. This final piece Of bravado nip

AT THE coming election the voter
has an opportunity to express himself
upon nine amendments to the state
constitution The amendments make
dry reading and unless especial care is
taken, they are likely to pass, through
Indifference. With the possible excep-
ton of the one providing home rule for
cities, all should be defeated. Most of
the proposed amendments have hid
den meaning which will not be grasped
by the casual reader. The initiative,
referendum and recall will be the one
most often discussed because of the
long agitation on this proposition. No
matter how one may feel upon the gen
eral proposition of the initiative and ref
erendum, this amendment is particularly
faulty because it specifically eliminates
from the voters consideration all ques
tions relating to the spending of state
money. If there is any single part of
our state government upon which the
taxpayer should inform himself and in
which he is vitality interested it is upon
the question of the manner and the
amount of money which the state
should spend. Look over all the amend
ments carefully and if convinced of the
viciousness of all legislation of this
character, be sure to mark your ballot
after each proposed amendment with
X in the No column.
