If Woodrow Wilson settles" the
railroad dispute like he has settled
some other questions, the result may
be a success Mex

Every once in while you pick up
an old-fashioned newspaper that
chronicles the death of leading citi-
zen as a bolt out of a clear sky"
Just what is 'bolt out of a clear
sky" like anyhow?
Platteville people are making siren
uous efforts to have a better-than-ever
fair this year. Platteville and Lam
caster lead on fairs in southwestern
wisconsin. Both deserve the hearty
support of the fair-going public.

After next week the defeated candi-
dates will begin wiring their success
full brothers congratulations and
pledging their support on united
ticket. The pre-campaign mudsling
ing and the aftermath of love feasts
and mutual admiration, is a trife dis
concerning sometimes to the average
and trusting voter.

At one town in Iowa last week a
chautauqua entertainer performer in
Scotch costume and singing Scotch
songs, had his act terminated abrupt
" because his knees were bare. This
is the Scotch method of dressing, and
while different, has nothing wrong
about it. Some things would be fun
ny if they weren't so pathetic.

Lancaster's fair promises to be the
best held in all its existence. Splen-
did exhibits, fine cattle and stock un-
til difficulty is experienced in finding
pen room for them, 2 racing program
that needs only one look to show its
worth and attractions of various kind
/ that are bound to interest all. Only
one thing is wanted and that is-good
weather.

| Over in Iowa they are in the throes
of contest on the wet and dry ques
ton. Not that the matter isn't set
tied, by statute at least, by the drys,
don't trust Harding, the republican
candidate and the other day Ed Mere
dith, his opponent admitted that he
drank wine once in a while. Mere
dith has the endorsement of the
church people and the dry element,
but this last admission is liable to
1uster his adherents

! A man can be pretty everything that
| is disreputable, but if he pays his bills
promptly and is honorable in his bust
ness obligations, people are pretty apt
to speak well of him To the contrary

unworthy but commercially honest
brother, people are apt to privately
consider him a poor stick.

DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who everybody
thought was dead, returns to his ma
tive land from Japan after an alb
sence of three years. DR.. Sun was
driven out of the Celestial republic
by Yuan Shi Kai, who has since sup
posedly "got his" and slumbers peace
ably beneath the tamaracks of the in
ner shrine. We say supposedly for
but merely sleeps until a favorable
opportunity arises for a return to
power In the meantime the world
will watch the progress of DR.. Sun,
who is not only a great man and
true patriot, but a character that
arOuses keen interest through its ex-
tremely dramatic quality. DR.. Sun
has lived a charmed life amid perils
of the gravest nature. Beset by enc
mics willing to stop at literally moth
+ ing, he has shown the utmost in
difference to anything interfering with
his goal-a free China. Not free, per-
haps, in mOnarchial or governmental
sense, but free in the emancipation
that comes from breaking the shackles
! of ignorance and superstition. A few
years ago he was working, it is said,
as a waiter in San Francisco and lat
or for a hriaf tina at laact in Chipa-
