POINTED PARAGRAPHS

One of the planks in the Republi-
can state platform which means much
to northern Wisconsin is the one
which declares that the state should
aid the undeveloped sections of the
state. The great north country is the
future dairy section of the state. 1t is
the pioneer section, and its farmers
and land holders are going through
the hardships encountered by those
who made the southern part of the
state one of the greatest farming re-
gions in the United States. Whatever
the state can do for the north country
will be a good investment for all the
state.
One of the best departments in the
state capitol is the conservation COM
mission, created by the last legislature
and combining all the state activities
for the protection and propagation Of
fish and game and the conservation
of natural resources. The law was the
result of the best efforts of all the Re-
publicans in the 1915 legislature and it
has resulted in improved service at a
much reduced cost.
Mr.. Williams, Democratic candidate
for governor, says the railroad COM
mission has been turned over to the
corporations In the only cases decided
in the last two years, rates have been
reduced, and in no case has a rate been
raised. Mr.. Williams should study the
records before making his speeches.
1t is significant to the voters that
the good laws on the statute books all
were enacted under Republican state
administrations.

United States Senator Robert
Marion La Toilette, again a candidate
on the Republican ticket for the Office,
has been before the public longer than
any other candidate on the state and
national ticket this year. Always a
strenuous campaigner, he now is en-
gagged in a state wide tour which will
not close until election day.
Senator La Toilette mas been a pic
turesque figure in politics, "a man with
many friends and many political enc
mics He is positive in his statements
on the stump and long ago earned the
name Fighting Bob"
He began bis political career as dis
trict attorney of Dane county after
leaving the university and then went
to congress from the old Third dis
trict. He was defeated in the Ben
nett law campaign.
Elected three times as governor, he
resigned to go to the United States
senate.
AS a congressman he helped frame
the Mckinley tariff Law,
AS a United States senator he has
made a study of railroad questions.

Governor Emanuel L. Phillip, Re
publican candidate for reelection, has,
during his term of Office, worked dill
gently for increased efficiency and
economy in the affairs of state gov
eminent. In making appointments for
public positions he has been guided
entirely by the qualifications of the
men, for he firmly believes that eff
cheney is as important in public serv-
ice as in private business.
Governor Phillip has favored lib
eral provision for the health and edu-
cation of the people of Wisconsin, and
it has been his aim to advance what
ever promotes prosperity and happi-
ness.
Having spent his boyhood on farm
in Sank county, where he was born in
1861, and his later years in hustling
for success as a business man, he is
well acquainted with the problems of
the farmers in the country and indus
trial life in the city. He is no mere
theorist. He is deeply Interested alike
in the rural schools and the state uni
versity.
Governor Philip is a successful
business man and also a. farmer. He
owns a large stock farm in Washing
ton county.
With Governor Philip, holding pub
lie officeHis not a money-making enter
prise 1t is well known that being
governor of Wisconsin means personal
sacrifice to him.

VILLA AIDED BY WILSON'S
FAVOR AND BACKING.

In March last, Villa made a
raid into American territory. He
was a bandit leader whose
career of successful infamy had
been greatly aided by Mr.. VIII
sons favor and backing. He
was at the head of Mexican sol
diers, whose arms and munitions
had been supplied to them in
consequence of Mr.. Wilson's re-
versing Mr.. Taft's policy and
lifting the embargo against arms
and munitions into Mexico. They
attacked Columbus, New Mexico,
and killed a number of civilians
and a number of United States
troops. ON the next day the
president issued an announce
ment that adequate forces would
be sent in pursuit of Villa with
the single object of capturing
him." On April Sth. the an
nouncement was made from the
White House that the troops
would remain in Mexico until
villa was captured. 1t was
furthermore announced in the
press dispatches from Washing
ton that he was to be taken
dead or alive" Fine words
0nly-they meant nothing. He
is not dead. He has not been
taken alive.-From speech of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deliv-
cred at Lewiston, Maine, in be
half of Charles E. Hughes.

Merlin Hull, Republican candidate
for secretary of state, gained an edu-
cation by working on farms and in
printing Offices and by teaching rural
schools. For many years he has been
in the law and newspaper business in
his home town, Black River Falls.
In 1906 he was elected district attor-
ney of his home county, and was elect
ed without opposition to the assembly
in 1908. He was twice reelected with
out opposition and was elected speaker
in 1913.
AS member of the legislature he
fought for improved methods of legis-
lation and shorter legislative sessions.

enacted In other states.

On Florida Trip

Comfy Commissioner Frank A.
Miller who returned this week
from business and pleasure trip
to Florida, is loud in his praise of
the courtesies and hospitality
shown him by the people of the
Peninsular state. He had a very
pleasant visit with Albert r. Com
stock. formerly manager of the
Almaden mine here, but now en-
gagged in the fruit growing bust
ness. Mr.. Comstock sends his
best wishes and kindest regards to
all his old friends here.
Mr.. Miller, while in Florida,
planted several hundred orange
trees and other kinds of fruit On
his place and expects in few
years to have one of the finest
little plantations in the state. He
had occasion to visit the court
house while there to pay his taxes
and when he presented his card
bearing the words democratic
Candidate for County Commits
sioner," that was sufficient to in
sure his everlasting welcome to
their community.
Mr.. Miller combined business
with pleasure on the trip and re-
turns home with the highest ad-
miration and respect for the citi-
zens of the sunny south.
The improvements at the Hot Springs

The mill isn't running today and
it seems lonesome and quiet.
Everyone else here is feeling as

Garden products grow real fast
here. Last night there was a
deer in the garden eating pine
apples. No more news this time

Big Deal Pending
AT Georgetown

An expert examination is new
being made on one of the largest
producing lead zinc mines tribu-
tary to Georgetown. 1t is almost
an assured fact that a transfer of
the property will be made, as the
prospective purchasers declared
that if the property was nearly as
good as represented they would
take it,"
Recent development preparatory
to the examination has opened up
new ore bodies varying from two
to four feet Of solid ore with about
five feet of we'll mineralized mill
ing material. This ore was ex-
posed in old workings that have laid
idle for more than quarter of a
century and goes to prove the con-
tipuity of the ore chute from sur.
face thru more than two hundred
feet Of virgin ground down to the
tunnel level above which very little
stoping has been done.
The ore can easily be hand-sort-
ed, giving zinc profit of over So
per cent and from 40 to so pet
cent lead per ton, which, together
with the gold and silver values,
makes a very profitable product.
The purchase price is not given
but it is limited that it will be we'll

in single day. This is not owing to
any lack of patriotism in our young
men, but in the only too evident ir-
resolution of the administration and
incompetence of the war department.
The National Guard was called out
FIVE weeks ago, and the men, and the
nation, under the impression that
something was going to be done at
last, responded with enthusiasm. In
that same week, detachment of
United States troops was treacherous-
ly set upon by much larger force
of soldiers of the ode facto" govern
ment of Mexico, and most of them
massacred. 1t would seem like an oc-
currence of this sort would make a
nation of rabbits fight, but our gov
eminent has given no sign Of exacting
any reparation for it. When the state
troops went to their camps they had
to wait days and weeks for their
equipment. Enlisted to defend the
richest nation in the world, many OF
them suffered for food, clothing and
shelter. Some, sent across the con-
tinent to the border, had to buy their
own food or go hungry for days. Or
top of all this, there is every indica-
ton that arrangements will be made
with Carranza which will end in the
troops putting in two or more years
in police duty on the border-that is
they will not be allowed to shoot al
Mexicans until Mexicans shoot al
them. No wonder that enlistments
are slow. The truth is that when il
comes to defending our people, oul
government, from the president down
to the superfluous red-tape wrappers
in the war department, is the most ir.
resolute and incompetent on earth.
