Madison Convention.

The main result of the progressive"
convention at Madison is the indorse-
ment of that hardy perennial, w. Fl.
Hatton, for governor, vice Bosshard,
who is ditched for some reason of low
visibility.
What the Bob convention expects to
gain by discarding Mr. Bosshard is not
clear, for Mr.. McGovern will remain. Aa
And why Hatton, instead of, say,
Andy Dahl, the Westby flyer, one Of
the most progressive" things on legs
in these parts?
Turning to the returns of the 1914
primary, we find that Mr.. Dahl scored
27, GIT votes, as against Mr.. Hatton' s
90, 345. However, Mr.. Bosshard is to be
congratulated on his happy release
from the thankless role of victim.
For those who enjoy display of I'M
conscious humor, the platform is rich.
Of course it shows delicate consid-
GRAFTON for the feelings of Bob by
avoiding mention of the republican ma
tional platform which denounced the
democratic tariff for which Bob voted.
To make this more binding, the con-
vention Endorsed Bob political career
without reservation, including his
votes for the Underwood tariff (which
bestowed on our farmers the blessings
of free trade in their products) and the
Philippines scuttle bill, and his ditching
of Mr.. McGovern in 1914.
The platform with an amazing lapse
of memory on the part of its framers)
'censures Gov. Philip for having charg-
ed in his campaign two years ago that
taxes were too high and the expense of
the state government was extravagant.
But in that same campaign Senator
LaFollette himself in his magazine
made the same accusation, and charged
the extravaganza to the Executive re-
sponsibility" of Gov. McGovern. And
there was no. single progressive
candidate for state office who. did not
harp on the need of retrenchment and
tax reduction.
But the browning exhibition of nerve
is the censure of Gov. Philip for fail
ing to ssreduce the taxpayers burden
ian untruth. by the way, in the face
of the scandalous and perfectly notori-
Gus fact that every effort of the gov
ernor to that enc was openly obstruct-
ed and secretly caballed against by the
agents and representatives of this very
political faction in the legislature and
the progressive" state job trust.

HAS SOLVED MILK PROBLEM
st. Louis Has Lowest Infant Mortality
of the Larger Cities.

The infant mortality in st. Louis is
the lowest Of any large city in the
United States; 1t is noticeably lower
in the summer months. and this not
withstanding that st. Louis is not con-
sdered by most Of US a summer resort.
For one thing, st. Louis has solved the
milk problem. says Golfers" The
St. Louis Pure Milk Commission ha.
been in existence twelve years. The
last ten years have seen the infant
death rate per thousand drop from
134.5 to s2.1. This condition didn't
Just happen. St. Louis, like other
cities, used to approach the beginning
of hot weather with good deal OF
dread and anxiety, In consequence OF
the train Of gastro-intestinal diseases
which followed. The change has been
gratifying, but il meant work. Highly
trained specialists quietly caught the
4.30-in- the-morning trains out to the
dairy farms to watch the early milk
ing, and TO inspect the stables, the cows
and the farm hands. From an attitude
Of derison on the part of dairymen,
there came one Of eager cooperation
and enthusiasm. Like the farmers In
Wisconsin whose sons returned from
the agricultural course at the Wiscon-
sin University. they first scoffed at the
new-fanglei ideas, then got mad, and
finally wound up by taking the course
themselves. Then st. Louis began 70

AMERICANS DETEST QUIET

Talking Machines Sold.

OF all things which Americans detest
quiet comes first. Take as proof this
matter Of pianos and talking machines,
says "The Philadelphia Ledger"
Every workday there now comes
from American factories an even 1000
pianos and about 1900 talking ma
chimes. You will notice that the piano
has not been entirely silenced by me-
chanical music. Indeed, the value Of
pianos made daily in our country is
3h times as great as the value Of
monographs. but the number of pianos
now turned out is smaller than it was
five years ago, while the number Of its
great rival has increased by half.
Uncle Sam tells US that two years
ago we pad s15.000,000 for talking ma
chimes and sll,00O,000 for the records
which they played No wonder talking

Figures showing the number OF pas
sengers carried on the surface, ele-
waited and subway lines of New YORK
City for the year ended June 80, 1915
compiled by the bureau of statistics
Of the Public Service Commission,
show an increase of more than $1,000
900 passengers carried by these lines.
This Is the largest increase recorded
in any one year, save In 1905 and 1910,
when the figures were, respectively,
more than 10000 900 and l2S,o0o,ooo.
The increase for the year 1876
serves as a Thermometer Of the condi-

asmuch as the year 1s14-15, which re-
fected the worst business conditions
seen in the city in great many years,
showed a decrease in passenger travel
of more than 100000.
