The Sank County Democrat comes
out again as a Democrat paper, with
r. j. Osborne as managing editor. 1t
is right on the water power question.
1t says:
Certain Wisconsin officials at Madison are
very busy just now trying to kill the water
power act, they want the big water power
monopolies to have entire control of the
water power of the state. In the exploitation
of the states resources in timber ami ore, the
monopolies got about everything, much of
which was stolen, and now another play is be-
ing made to keep the citizens of the state from
their rights in flowing water. There is nothing
more certain than the fact that, for the proper
economic development of the state, the time
has come for an enlarged exploitation of our
water powers. There need be no fear that the
numerous water powers of the state will be
readily put to use. The question is, who is GO
ing to get the benefit and who is to hold the
control, the people or the monopolies. Perhaps
the monopolies will come out ahead again

WRONG ON ONE POINT.

Former President Taft delivered a
number of very able addresses at Mad
ison last week. His speeches were po-
iitical; but not partisan. He speaks
from a we'll stored mind, and out of
large experience. Upon one point he
is wrong. The Baltimore Democratic
platform favors single term for Presi-
dent of the United States; and Mr.. Taft
favors a single term of six Or seven
years With all due respect to Mr..
Taft and the trainers Of the Baltimore
platform, that proposition is undemo-
cratic and unwise. If it is the peoples
right to elect a president before he has
been tried, it ought to be their right to
give him vote of approval or disap-
proval when he has been tried and has
made good, or has failed in the undertak-
ing The leadership of this great self
governing people should be responsible
leadership. Inc cnlet executive snould
be responsible to the people. If
length Of term is desired, and seven
years is all right, why not seven times
seven. the Confederate constitution
provided for a single term of six years.
Mr. Taft would hardly affirm that
longer single term would have been de-
sirable in the case of President James
Buchanan.

Avoid Conflicting Dates.

Conflicts between the American
league and American association in
Cleveland will be avoided this year by
transferring several Of the games
which the association ordinarily would
play in Cleveland to some other city.
A whole series in May was transferred
from Cleveland to Columbus and an
other from Cleveland to Milwaukee in
September. The Memorial day double
header, which under usual conditions
would be played in Cleveland, was
transferred to Indianapolis.

RUDE Vanguard, one time sensational
pitcher for the New York Giants, must
better his last seasons performances
if he hopes to tWirl for John McGraw.
During the spring training the south
paw was slow getting into shape, and
unless he comes back strong as the
season advances McGraw will proba-
bly, can him. Marquard's best season
was in 1912. when he won nineteen
straight games for the Giants. He also
had another good year in 1913, but fail
ed to win a game in the world series.
Last winter Marquard jumped to the
Federal league, but jumped back to
the Giants before the season opened.
RUDE is a native of Cleveland and is
twenty-siX years old. He first played
professional ball with the Canton club
of the Central league, going thence to
the Indianapolis club of the American
association. McGraw bought him from
the latter club for $1,000 in 1908. He
was with the New Yorks for three
years before he began to pitch win
ming ball. Then he came out and was
one of the chief factors in winning the
pennant for the New Yorks in 1912.

Iris Speaker Hard to Pitch To.

According to Bill Steen Of the Cleve-
land Maps, iris Speaker of the Boston
Red Sox is the hardest batter in the
league to pitch to regardless Of the
fact that DOME Bush of Detroit draws
more passes than any player in the
world and on the strength Of his bases
on balls record is regarded as the
toughest bird in the business for an
American league pitcher to work on.
Speaker won't strike at a ball on
the inside, and he slams balls on the
outside down the foul line at mile a
minute. He hits 'em when they are
over I'd sooner pitch to Crawford,
Collins, Cobb or Baker any day than
to Speaker says Steen.
Crawford and Cobb are hard to
fool They, show their greatest weak
ness in going after slow balls

Washington, D. c., Nov. 30.-Get
rid of the PHILIPPINES, provide an ade-
quate number of high-power submar-
ines and increase the coast defenses;
encourage the militia. These are the
three things advocated by Senator
Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota,
In statement on national defense to-
day.
'"The invasion scare has always
been worked to perfection in bringing
about appropriations for COST de-
fense" said McCumber. '1t ought not
to unsettle the calm judgment Of that
great interior of our country which
Is not looking for government expen-
>ditures to assist it's prosperity.
No Invasion to Fear.
sTo my mind there would be about
~ much fear Of an invasion from
Mars as from any other nation on
earth. With from 5000 to 5000 miles
Of water to cross, with radio telegra-
ply, with under sea craft that can see
without being seen, whose stroke is
sure death to all on board an attacked
vessel, what nation would be foolish
enough to attempt an armed invasion
of this country7
PHILIPPINES Weakest.
"Our optlaying possessions and our
foreign commerce are at present the
'onlyy occasiony for naval or military
prowess. The weakest and most vul-
nerable Of these are the PHILIPPINE Is
lands. Following in their order are
the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rica.
At the earliest possible moment we
should relieve ourselves Of the PLilli-
pine Islands. So long as we hold
these islands, we must be prepared to
defend them, and that means prepar-
edness equal or superior to that Of
Japan.
Navy Good Enough.
@While at first thought our vast for

great naval preparedness, less than 1o
