An Early Tbrea, of Secession.

The peorle Of Wisconsin, who have
recently achieved some reputation by
developing the Wisconsin Peace Plan, :"
have not always been thus pacific in
their purposes. Indeed within the
memory of some Of the older of Wis
consin's citizens, Wisconsin sent to the
United States Congress threat Of
war couched in the most belligerent
terms. The occasion for this ultima
tum was the establishment for Wiscon-
sin s state boundaries. On every score
the state felt it had been abused, and
Wisconsin politicians made capital Of
the feeling. In 1884, after numerous
Intellectual attempts to secure a peace
able rectification Of the borders, the
territorial council lost patience 1t
assumed the position that If Congress
refused to yield, Wisconsin would take
the attitude of "a state out of the I'M
ion, and possess, exercise, and enjoy
all the rights, privileges, and powers
OF the sovereign, independent State Of

The hay crop of the United States is
an element in the wealth OF the nation
not fully realized by everybody. 1t
amounts to something like sixty live
million tons, valued at approximately
eight hundred million dollars. Eight
hundred million dollars is vast sum
of money. Wisconsin's hay crop is APP
proximately four million ton, valued at
something like forty-iive million dol
lars. The value Of the hay crop of the
nation ranks with wheat and cotton.
Pasturage is an important element of
wealth as well as the harvested hay
crop. The present year is remarkable
for hay and prosperous for the pastur-
ing of cattle. Hay does not require
hot weather like corn. In Wisconsin
the corn has been backward SO far,
but there has been huge yield of sue
culent grass. Never was clover more
luxurious than it has been this year.
As great dairy state Wisconsin Is in
terested in the growth of grass. Its
hay crop this year bids fair to beat
any previous record
Such are the views of valued ex-
change, endorsement of which is gen
eral.

THE AUTOMOBILE PAGEANT.

Newark automobilsts especially those connected
with the motor industry, are justified in their
efforts to have the Committee of One Hundred give
more attention the automobile pageant which is to
be part of the anniversary celebration here
than is outlined in the present plans its sub
committee. The motorists think that night pa
rade would be the proper thing, it would bring
out larger and more representative entry, espe-
cially from mercantile houses because the days work
would be done and there would be nothing else to
require the services of the They also suggest
Saturday night the most convenient time for tho
merchants, and in proof of this call attention to
the successful automobile parade held here last
April, which took place Saturday night
The motorists further believe that $500
appropriation for the automobile pageant is hardly
enough for that part of the program, especially in
view of the fact that something between $4,000
$50, 600 is to be expended for a torchght process
sion If some of this money for the torchlight pro-
eession to be expended for decorations that
could be utilized for the auto pageant the protest of
the autoiss might not be strong, but when it is
considered that, through the efforts of the motorists
last spring, than 500 expended for prizes,
etc, it would seem that for a city fete, marking
such epoch the citys anniversary and the part
the motor plays that something elaborate
than what the autolsts did by themselves should be
done.
Newark is big center of the automobile indus
try not only in the actual selling of cars but in the
manufacture of material that goes into motor
construction, such leather and parts, and it
would that proper consideration of this should
be taken by the Committee of One Hundred in plan
ming its automobile parade. Further than that it
would seem that the Committee of One Hundred
could benefit by consultation with the big in the
automobile industry here.
Newarks automobile show which is to be held
again next February, one of the biggest and
most successful motor exhibits in the country,
outside of the New York and Chicago national shows
and the men who made of this right
here. Further than that, the men who have con-
Quoted automobile orphans outings are here, as are
the men who automobile parades. We have
others who active in auto clublife, the New Jer
sey Automobile and Motor Club being of thu
largest automobile clubs in the country. Why not
consult with of these men in arranging for an
parade? 1t would seem that the Com
mttee of One Hundred could profit by the advice of
some of these men, and perhaps give to the motor
car interests of the city something little more in
keeping with It's worth than what the plans far
outlined indicate is to be done.

THE BATTLE LINES.

The immediate effect of the vigorous offensive
movement by the Anglo-French armies appears to
have stimulated the enemies of Germany into the
belief that great victory has been achieved. Re-
ports from Berlin, however, discount the reported
gains of the enemy and go far to proclaim that
the rush of the AngloF French already has been eec-
tually stopped.
1t is certain that the amount of ground captured
by the allies is not of great extent and that the
lighting may again end in bloody deadlock, similar
that which took place after the retreat of the Ger
mans from the Marne just year ago. The allies
will return to the attack all along the western line,
doubt, but decisive victory is still far away.
Since the first attacks by the French and English
last Friday and Saturday they have not dented
the German lines. The break In the German lines
