Badgers Given Rest.

San Antonio, Textile Wisconsin
infantry brigade was given almost q
complete rest for a short time after
returning to Camp Wilson from New
Braunfels, and then was put through
only light drills each day to keep the
men in trim for the S3-mile march to
Austin, which is the eliminating
maneuver of all those through which
the Badger troops have gone since
coming to the border.
The Badgers made a good record on
the 32-mile hike back to Camp Wilson.
The ground was covered by night
marches, and this was a new and
pleasant experience for the men. The
weather was ideal and the soldiers en-
Joyed the hike in the dark immensely.
The troops covered II miles the first
night, and after resting during the day
made the last hike of Is miles be
tween six o'clock in the evening aust
one O'Clock in the morning.

Milwaukee-With the closing of the
Wisconsin state fair officials expressed
themselves as satisfied that great
progress has been made toward plac-
ing the annual exhibition on sounder
financial basis and making it still
more interesting and instructive in
every department. This years exhi-
bition proved beyond a doubt that the
future is indeed promising for the
state fair. This year the deficit will be
about $4,000, it is estimated, while
last year the loss was $22,500 and s24.-
600 in 1914. Considering the weather
this is really remarkable and an indi.
cation that interest in the fair has
grown to such an extent that with
good weather the project would have
been a success from financial
viewpoint. The attendance for the
week this year was 1850 and the
gate receipts 58,72625.

PARTY UNPREPAREDNEsS
ttsburgh Gazette Times. ]

Nothing could better illustrate the
complete Generalization of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress than Speaker
Clark's descent from the chair yes
terday practically to open the debate
on naval preparedness. The adminis-
tration-the President himself-had
no spokesman upon whom it could
rely, or of sufficient caliber. Hence
Mr.. Clark, betrayed at Baltimore and
more or less on the side track since,
had to come forward. out of the good
ness of his heart and the spur of his
patriotism, and say what he thought
ought to be said because the Executive
and his party were helpless in the
face of hostile clements from their
own ranks.
If anybody wonders what's the mat
ter with Congress, or why the halting
and hesitating foreign and domestic
policy of the White House, or how it
happens that, after year and a half.
so little has been done for national
defense, the answer is found in yes
terday's scene in the House. The
situation, save as to purely partisan
matters. is out of hand. The Presi-
dents ultimate dependence for what
he hopes or plans to do in prepared
ness is on the Republicans of the
House and Senate. If he looks only
to the Democrats he cannot pass a
bill. Speaker Clark realizes this and
he is enough of party man and
enough of a strategist-some may say
opportunist. perhaps to appreciate
the psychology of the occasion and
make the most of it. Where, in the
meantime, are the thick-and-th Will
son men of other days?
