Washington. A record.breaking
winter wheat crop is in prospect this
year, the Department Of Agriculture
estimating on conservative basis
that the yield may exceed 55l,0OO,0O0

The area planted last autumn was
36,606,000 acres, and with a compare

percentage Of acreage abandoned has
been somewhat less than SO per cent

1t is characteristic of youth that it
pursues whatever it undertakes with
undivided energies. This is true Of
nations no less than individuals. AS a
nation we are young. When we tackle
problem, we seem for the time being
to forget that there is anything out
side of the problem in question that
needs our attention.
AS nation we have been greatly
interested Of late in social reforms, in
ameliorating the lot of the laboring
man. With the vigor of youth we went
after the social problem and much good
has been accomplished, while plans are
IN the making for even greater bene-
fits. We have not forgotten, however,
other interests that are quite import
ant to our national wellIbeing. For ex-
ample, the state of Michigan will plant
this year two million trees. Hundreds
Of acres where few years ago stood
giant pine trees, but which are now
bare, will once more be turned into
beautiful forests by that state. Michi-
gan is the second state to take up the
matter of reforestry. A year ago the
state of Minnesota planted one mil
lion trees.
The example of Michigan and Mime
sofa might be followed by other states
with good deal of proft.-Tribune.

ate and it is possible that he will get
into the running. No man in the last
assembly won a higher reputation than
Assemblyman Pfennig and he brought
to his work an intelligence that was
rare among members of the assembly.
He managed to keep free Of any en-
tanghng factional alliances and was
rated as one Of the most independent
representatives on the floor of the leg
islature. His work in the assembly
was such as to attract attention
throughout the state and he had the
habit of getting on the right side of
all big measures brought before the
legislature. Everett and Pfennig are
close personal friends and a contest
between the two for the nomination for
state senator would prove decidedly
interesting. There are lot of dark
horses being groomed for the run and
it is probable that before the pri-
mary there will be half dozen can
didates in the field.
This will be a partisan fight and it
is said that the democrats will urged
Michael Higgins of Racine to make
the race for the Office.

be said that they are in any way dis
guising their campaign plans.
Not much is expected by the politi-
cal leaders of this state of the move
ment which Attorney General L. VIII
liams of Grand Rapids has ATTEMPTED
to start for a non-partisan campaign in
this state for state officers and mem
bers of the legislature. The political
leaders of the state declare that the
party idea is too firmly fixed in the
minds of the Wisconsin voters to per
NIT of any great success under a non
partisan movement, and they do not
seem to think the suggestion of Will
liams for an attempted non-partisan
organization, with the ides of holding
a convention for the nomination of
non-partisan candidates viii ever reach
stage where call for the conven-
ton can be issued.
The suggestion of Frank Bentley of
Baraboo that the conservative republi-
cans should place complete legislative
ticket in the field, as well as candi-
dates for the republican state nomina-
tions and the United States senate, is
being endorsed by other conservative
leaders who are interested in the con
sentative republican movement, and it
is likely that the conservative conven-
ton will select an executive commit
tee which will be instructed to see that
conservative republican legislative can
didates are placed in the field in every
Wisconsin legislative district.
Active work toward bringing about
an organized conservative republican
movement which shall have as its
climax we'll attended conservative
convention, has already been begun,
and letters are being sent out by lead
ing conservative republicans to conser-
natives in all parts of the state, ask
ing that they give their aid toward
making the proposed conservative re-
publican convention a success.

SEEK STATE WIDE SUPPORT
Plans of e. L. Philip and His Political
Associates Are Rapidly Rounding In
to Form and Fight Against Ultra
Progressive Policy Is Certain.

The criticisms which have come from
certain sources and most notably from
Assemblyman Wallace ingalls, of Ra-
cine, against the calling by E. L.
Philip and other leading conservative
republicans of a republican state con-
vention, have seemingly had no effect
upon Mr.. Philip and his associates,
who are going quietly ahead with their
plans for the holding of conservative
republican convention in Madison some
time in June. Mr.. Ingalls,, in his let
ter to the public, which was published
recently, does not attempt to offer any
opposition to the holding of conven-
ton, but merely says that if a conven-
ton is held, it should be called by the
regularly constituted authorities of the
republican party, namely the state
central committee chairman and the
committeeman of that party.
Seemingly Mr.. ingalls, does not take
the same viewpoint on the subject as
Mr.. Phillip. The convention which
Mr.. Philip proposes to call will not
have for its purpose the calling togeth-
er of the republicans of all factions in
the party, but will be convention for
the purpose Of rehabilitating the
fortunes of the conservative republicans
in this state. 1t is the idea of Philip
that the time is ripe for conserva-
tive republican movement, and the con-
vention which he is aiming to have
held at Madison some time during the
month of June, will be for the purpose
of drafting platform which shall
state the conservative issues of the
campaign as they are viewed by the
conservatives, and also for the purpose
of placing in nomination conservative
candidates for the republican nomina-

RACINE POLITICIANS ARE BUSY
;Kenosha County Republicans Will Also
Seek Recognition at Primaries and
Senator Bishop, Recuperating His
Health, May Enter Race Again.

Racine politicians have begun the
work Of picking the senatorial ticket
for the third Wisconsin district and
although Kenosha county has half
interest in the district the Racine men
seem to be Of the opinion that this is
a plum for their picking this year and
Racine candidates are jumping into the
fight
Isaac T. Bishop, the present repre-
sentative of the district in the state
senate, is a Kenosha county man and
he has not announced that he would
not seek reelection. Senator Bishop
has been i'll for the better part of a
year, but with lots of good Kenosha
county air and plenty of spring tonic
his health has recently improved and
it is possible that he will be in the
running for a reelection when the pri-
mary petitions are filed. Senator Bis
shop was one of the administration
leaders at the last session of the legis-
lature and in the past he has demon
strated that he is something Of a
runner.
Charles H. Everett of Racine, who
represented the first Racine county dis
trict in the assembly at the last SEES
sion, is formally in the field as can
didate for state senator and already
considerable work is being done to adj
vance his candidacy. Mr.. Everett is
the ditor of the Racine Agriculturist
and member of the state board of
agriculture. He was very active in the
last session of the legislature. Everett
is credited with having lot of
strength among the farmers of Racine
and Kenosha counties.
Assemblyman Charles n. Pfennig of
this county, is credited with having
some ambition to go to the state sen.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-05-07

ton for governor and United States
senator.
It is the plan of Philip to conduct
a strictly conservative republican move
ment in. this state, and while represen-
tatives of other factions of the repub-
lican party will be welcome at the
convention if they desire to attend, the
convention viii be, in the strictest sense
of the word, conservative affair.
AS has been said before, it is the
belief of Mr.. Philip, and of other men
who are interested in the conservative
republican movement, that the time
has arrived when the people of Wis
consin have seen the folly of what
Philip and his associates term the
progressive political idea,' and that
they are ready to return to the ways
of thinking of the conservatives, and
to place leaders in power who will car.
~ out the conservative idea. Now
Philip and his associates may be mis-
judging the Wisconsin public. 1t is
more than likely that they will dis,
cover, when they come to test the sen.
timent of the voters of the state, that
there still remains in Wisconsin a
strong progressive following, and that
this progressive following does not in
tend to allow the conservatives to
again gain power in this state without
making strong battle to maintain the
progressive regime.
This much can be said, however, that
the conservatives are not attempting to
sail into power under any false colors
Mr.. Philip and his associates have
pinned their standard high in the air
so that all may know what the real
idea OF their campaign is. They consid.
er that the progressive movement has
burdened this state with high taxes
and that a government directed by the
conservative republicans would greatly
reduce the taxation of the state. More
than this, Philip and his associates
have gone boldly into the national IS
sues, and are pronouncing their opposi-
tion to the tariff law enacted by the
present federal administration.
PROFESSIONALLY one of the strongest
features of the conservative republi-
can platform will be demand for
higher tariff schedules, especially on
agricultural products, and one of the
features of the Philip campaign will
be fight for the increased duties on
butter and eggs, and other agricultural
products, it being the conservative re-
publican claim that the farmers of
Wisconsin are really ,aring the heavy
burden in the new tariff law, in that
the prices on butter and egg, under
the new law, are likely to be consid-
erably less than the prices which were
obtained under the tariff schedule
which existed before the democratic
tariff law became effective. Whether
in this demand for higher schedules
the Philip people are rightly judging
the political views of the people of
Wisconsin no one can say, but they
are willing to make their political fight
upon the issue, and at least it cannot

In other words appropriations now
made shall stand as the standard for
every state institution or state depart
ment and the people would, if this
peculiar amendment be adopted by the
voters, not be subject to an expression
of opinion on the part of the people,
no matter how bitterly they might feel
on the subject.
1t is probable that the non-partisans
II their coming meeting viii have
something to say on this subject and
say it little stronger in the platform
adopted at state convention which
will be called to meet later.

ADVANCE FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Men Who Ride Country Roads to Get
Advance in Salary the First of July.

The rural mail carriers in Kenosha
and over the county are rejoicing over
their increase in salary which will go
into effect July l, 1914. After that
date their compensation will be $1,000
year. This salary may not be as at
tractfve as one might imagine, for the
reason that it is not all clear gain.
The carrier has to support at least two
horses and keep his vehicles in repair.
The present increase in salary was due
to the large amount of mail matter
caused by the parcel post. Postmast-
ers are burdened with the handling of
more mail matter, but thus far their
salary has not increased, but in many
offices decreased in proportion to the
amount of mail handled.

WISCONSIN IN THE MEXICAN
WAR. 1S46-4S.

When the first Mexican war began,
Wisconsin was still a frontier territory,
with total population of only 175,000.
just how many of her young men went
to the front will probably never be
definitely known; it has been estimated
that 1000 enlisted, almost all, however,
in regiments of neighboring states.
Only one organization, designated as
20. b., 18th y. S. Infantry, is credited
to Wisconsin on the war department
rolls. This volunteer company, which
found its way to the front by the
roundabout route of Lake Erie and
thence by canal down the Ohio and
the Mississippi, fought with distinguish
ed valor in the army of General Scott
IN his brilliant campaign against the
city of Mexico. Of the 146 members,
forty laid down their lives on Mexican
soil, among them their gallant leader,
Captain Gustavus Quarles.
The State Historical Society has, in
response to the present popular inter
est in the Mexican crisis, prepared a
special exhibit, illustrative of the war
of 1S46-48, and of the life and customs
of the Mexican people, Relics sent
home from the seat of war by Wiscon-
sin soldiers, engravings Of the battles
and the heroes of the war, maps of
campaigns, and speeches of prominent
American statesmen, constitute part of
the military exhibit. The mode of life
of the Mexican people is illustrated by
specimens of dress, articles of pottery,
utensils, and pictures of rural life, all
pointing out the extreme poverty of
the poems of the Southern Republic.
