The name of Hon. Hal. A. Cooper of
Racine, is being favorably mentioned
in the state as a candidate for United
States senator by the Republicans. Mr.
Cooper would be a strong candidate
for he has been consistent Republi-

The enactment of the free raw su-
gar schedule was one of the greatest
plumbers of the present Democratic
administration, and about destroyed
an industry in this country that was a
great benefit to the raisers of sugar
beets and increased the cost of a sta
pie to the home consumers from Az
to cents per pound. Who was bene-
fitted by such legislation? The sugar
trust. as free raw sugar is only i'm
ported by that trust and the refund of
duties amounting to $e2,000, 900 an
nually, goes into the pockets of the
trust which is enormously wealthy
1t would be we'll for the people of this
state to inform themselves as to
which of our members of the United

reSentatifes who voted for the law.
A cablegram from London says, that
King George at 4 banquet recently
held in that city drank a toast to the
health and happiness of President
Wilson and that it escaped the shears
of the censor. 1t was very good of the
king, especially just at this time, when
England needs and wants financial aid
from this country. But the writer
calls to mind the attitude of England
toward this country during the Civil
war and the sweet and beautiful
things said about martyred President
which the writer may for
give, but never forget.

The United States is at peace. Italy
is at war. yet the revenues of the
Uuited States are diminishing, while
those of Italy are increasing. The
treasury receipts of Italy for July and
August were s7.700,O00 more than for
the same months last year. The
treasury receipts of the United States
decreased more than $15,000,O00 in the

war is not so bad for the national
treasury as Wilson's peace is. Why?
Because of the Democratic legislative

With the steady increase in popula-
ton, the products Of the sea assume
more and more Importance. How to
conserve the immense supply while at
the same time making a constantly in
creasing use Of 1t is one of the prob
lens Of the present which will press
still harder for solution in the future.
In the case of oysters it is well known
that If nothing had been done but to
trust to nature unaided, the supply
would have been utterly exhausted
long ago. Planting and protection
have increased the supply of oysters
and scallops, Notwithstanding the in.
creased use Of both as food. The an.
nual report of the Rhode Island COM
mission on shell fisheries shows some
thing of what has been and is being
done in the way Of conservation and
cultivation, says the Manchester
Union. The marine farms" of Rhode
Island yield to the state treasury in
annual rentals about one hundred and
sixteen thousand dollars. This is no
small amount of revenue, but it Is of
less consideration than that the sys-
tenn of rentals has led to careful plant
ing of oyster beds in order to derive
the greatest amount of profit from
them.

Guncotton may be described as q
nitrate of cotton wool (Which the
chemist would call cellulose). Both
nitroglycerine and guncotton are less
useful as explosives themselves than
their derivatives, although Russia and
the United States use compressed wet
guncotton in their high-explosive
shells. One of the most famous deriv.
atives is the smokeless propellant used
by the British army and navy, cordite.
Germany is reported to be using in the
present war new" explosive. Its
chemical name is trinitro-toluene
(picric acid is called trinitro-carbolic); |;
but it is commonly called T. N. T.. or.
in Germany, tyrotyl. 1t is not at all
new. It is, in fact, a well-known mem.
ber of series of aromatic explosives,
and toluene is derivative of coal tar.
1t has long been known that it much
improved the ordinary detonators and
that detonators made with T. N. T.
were being used In Germany.

President Nicholas Murray Butler in

dition of a physical test to the other
requirements for admission to Colum-

tute fitness" for Latin, Greek and

should differ from that needed by boys
who start out to make living instead
