AN ENDORSEMENT on AUTHORITY

Not partisaa in its judgments and
on the grou ld Were it can observe
the movements of our governor, the
Madison Democrat paws this tine, just
and honest tribute toeioverDor Philip:
Philip INDICATED
Handsomely has Governor Philip
been indicated, his villifers repudi-
ated. Final returns only can reveal
how completely have the voters of
Wisconsin given him their allegiance,
but that his plurality should even re-
motely approach the high measure of
an actual majority is a circumstance
most complimentary to his popularity
Obviously the people believe in him,
and just as obviously do they dis
credit the irresponsible politicians who
assail him. Not in any particular
section does this confidence appear.
1t is everywhere.
Governor Philip came into public
life in hope Of redressing the fragrant
wrongs, stopping the waste, revers-
ing the bureaucratic tendencies of
state government His platform. in
essence. was for less government and
better government at deere ased cost.
Taxes had become oppressive, regula-
ti0n offensive, int-Gs:ou in private at
fairs impertineut, unoearable. Cour-
ageOusly, almost alone, he fought his
way 70 the goveruOrship. He talked
TO his fellow citizens frankly, and won
their confidence. His program of re-
treuchment and actual reform WIS
one that should have been adopted in !
toto by the legislature; and would
have been but for the wicked opposi- ,
ton of the Madison lobbyists COM
posing the professional factional-
lists of his own party. Only partially
successful in mis- plans. Governor Phil !
ipp never wavered. Again he went
forth to the people, and with what
Gathering results the primary returns
of today bear gratifying evidnnce. !
Governor Philip clearly mas proved
hlulseif 70 be stronger than his party
stronger than any man in any party. I
He has served the state with entire
fidelity and complete unselfshness,
and now, with but a friendly legisla-
ture to back him, he may be counted
on to carry forward TO contamination
his various relief projects. No citi-
zen Of Wisconsin ever better merited +
vindication. The stupendous falsifca-
tions Of figures and facts Of which his
enemies were guilty in their desper-
ate effort to destroy him failed miser-
ably. He rises from this contest great
er and stronger than overland one
may be sure with grim determination
not to rest satisfied till his pledges
are redeemed in fullest faith.

BIG LOSSES IN cR0Py

The governmental agencies at Wash
ington have just published crop facts
that are significant. They state that:
Hot and dry weather during August
caused loss of 5000, 900 bushels in
prospective production of corn, ~, 000,-
600 bushels in spring wheat crop, 49,
600, 600 bushels OF oats, and 20, 900, 900
bushels potatoes. Tobacco production
prospects Increased -, 900, 900 pounds.
Extent of the heavy damage TO he
corn crop because of the dry and lot
weather in some parts of the corn
growing belt was disclosed Ia the sep
TENDER crop report. In Oaklahoma and
Kansas much of the crop has been cut
I for eusilage and fodder Reduction of
/ the corn crop ia northwestern ARK an
sas, southwestern Missouri and other
states has been caused by Cnfavorable
weather. Much of the principal corn
area of the country aas failed to re-
ceive sufficient rainfall at the most
critical pericos of its growth.
In North Dakota corn will be most
" out OF danger from frost by Sept.
L., and in some localities Of South
Dakota It Is already beyond danger of
frost damage. but in other parts of
that state four or five days are need
ed. The earliest corn is we'll denied
in Iowa and is now safe from frost.
but 80 per cent of that states crop
will need until September y.
And Wisconsin promises TO be the
banner state on general lines Of crop
ping. Ten days of the right kind of
weather viii give us very fair corn
crop. Everything else is above the
average in yield and quality except
potatoes. Ten days, too, is necessary
to complete tobacco shedding.

Cass Lake, Minn.-Captain John
Smith, the aged Chippewa Indian
chief, a well known character In this
portion of Minnesota, who was struck
and badly injured by Great Northern
locomotive in the yards here recently
has left the hospital and gone to the
home of son.
The venerable Indian, reputed to be
III years old, making him by far the
oldest man in Minnesota. if not in the
United States, grew better from the
very day he was carried in an uncon-
scious condition to the hospital.
AS soon as he collected his senses he
declined to remain on a hospital cot
and made the nurse fix up bed for
him on a blanket on the floor, where he
found contentment. He also called for
his pipe and tobacco and, because OF
his age, was humored. He smoked
constantly and rapidly grew better, as
it developed that while he had been
bruised and shocked, he had not been
seriously injured.

RELATES HARDSHIPS
IN PURSUIT OF VILLA
Indian Scout Says Difficulties
Face U. 5. Army.

Denver.-Some of the difficulties that
pursuit of Villa were told here by
James H. Cook, who in 1885 was chief
scout for the Eighth United States
cavalry that crossed into Mexico and
captured Geronimo, the Apache chief.
He led the American soldiers over
much of the country the United States
soldiers must cover to get Villa. He
said:
"a veritable zone of death will have
to be traversed by the American troop
ers. They will have to go over some
of the worst country In the world. III
villa chooses he can fight as Geronimo
and his followers did-go back into the
mountains, kill his horses, scatter on
foot and pick our soldiers off one by
one from behind rocks. 1t may take
us months, even years, to get villa.
"Rut no men on earth are better for
the task than the officers in charge OF
the American expedition. personally
know Lieutenant Colonel d. G. Cabell,
now chief of staff to General Pershing
He was with me on the Geronimo ex-
pedition and knows the country as
well as any white man.
"The aeroplane will assist our troops
in the campaign, but 1t cannot match
with all the difficulties of the region.
Between the peaks are deep canyons.
sometimes 1000 feet deep and less
than forty feet wide. These ravines
cannot be crossed by any except the
old Indians of the country. They can
get over on foot.
"The only thing that makes the ex-
petition look hopeful to me is my faith
In the men who command it"
