is responsible for much of Wisconsin's
prosperity.
In some counties of the state the
farmers have co-operated in the pur-

In many of the newer sections

London.-Sir Oliver Lodge, president
Of the Society For Psychical Research,
recently made striking declaration Of

with friends who had passed away.
Sir Oliver said that once one realized
that consciousness was something out
side of the mechanism it made use of
one realized that survival of existence
was naturally the simplest thing.
1t was unreasonable, he added. that
a soul should jump out Of existence
when the body was destroyed.

Where do you find healthier at

city or in the country? Where do
you find less danger to the stability
and permanence of the sweet and
holy family bonds, where less dangers
to the peaceful and happy order and
harmony of family life, in the city or
in the country? Which furnishes
our court calendars with more divorce
trials and our land with the appalling
numbers of Divorces of both sexes
Yes. country life does not furnish
you, like the city, with all kinds OF
theaters and picture shows, amuse-

dows, or with all the rest of worldly
pomp and Avanity But it does fur
nish you at no greater cost than a
little good will, all the pure and un-
defiled joys and pleasures which only
can be found in the family where
love and order reign supreme. And /
do not hesitate to say that today, as
always, you will find that family soon

Everyday experience tells us that
Christian parents in the country find
it far less difficult to bring up their
children in the fear of God, in purity
of life, in charity and honesty of con-
duct, than do parents in our cities.
Country life and work, if it is to be
profitable, demands order. No farm
can be properly conducted without
order of person. place, and time.
Each member has its assigned work
to do-men and women, young and
old. Certain work must be done at
certain times. Nature herself again
compels the farmer to have order in
all his work. He cannot set aside this
order demanded by her without great
loss to himself. Her animals tell

farmer has to obey the laws and de-

the people Of the United States decided
against the proposition. In 1900 the
proposition was new. and Mr.. Bryan, the
democratic candidate that year, talked
much in denunciation Of what he called
imperialism" In 1904, when Judge Par
ker was the candidate, not so much. but
something, was said Of like tenor. In
1908. when Mr.. Bryan again ran, he
again declared for scuttle. But the vot-
ers would not have it.
Two years ago at Baltimore a plank
relating to the Philippines was incor-
porated into the platform, and construed
as meaning scuttle. Hence, when Mr..
Wilson was elected, the so-called anti
imperialists in this country and the agi-
tators for independent government among
the Filipinos began to plan for early IN
dependent government for the islands.
Their words and actions indicated the
thought that the hour was soon to strike
They were too sanguine by half. The
hour has not struck. and is not likely TO
strike soon. Here is the Secretary or
War whose department has a good deal
to do with the Philippines. giving the
public to understand that he has ap-
preached the subject with an open mind.
and not as one committed to a line OF
action prescribed by party platform
and its Interpretation.
Independent government for the Phil
ippines is one thing. Just when the peo-
pie of the islands will be able to con-
duct such a government is another
thing. On this latter point the best In
formed opinion in this country OF men.
civilians and soldiers, who have studied
the question at close range is that many
years must pass before it will be safe

Uncle Sam to haul down his flag and
