success of it while the knocker was one
who attended to some one else's busi-
ness and made failure of his own.
He touched on the value of the farmer
and merchant getting together, told of
how sometimes prejudices were worked
up that were inimical to the interests
of both, and that they should cultivate
social relations and build up friend
ships.
The governor dwelt at length on the
opportunities offered in the vast field of
unoccupied land in northern Wisconsin
and said he believed it offered better
opportunities for the farmer than any
other state in the union. There are go
many things that can be raised on a
farm that can be converted into money
and we have now learned to raise these
things in northern Wisconsin. He en-
! phasized the potato as money maker,
told of Wisconsin being the leading
dairy state and of the convenient mar
kets throughout the state. He stated
that we should cultivate spirit that
will encourage development, especially
the development Of water power, for
unless you harness the river it will new
er be worth a cent. The speaker recitsd
how the Wisconsin river had for years
remained of no use until the dams at
| Kilbourn and Prairie du Sac were built
and how now the street cars in Milwau
kee we're operating from the power de-
rived from them He said that the real
estate men should encourage industries !
to go where water power is devel-
oped, where there is chance for fac
tories and other great industries. ''Co-
operation is the keynote of success"
said Governor Philip. One man alone
can't make the world success; capi-
tai, genius and labor must work to-
gether or the country won't succeed,
and this, he added, has occurred in Wis
consin. "Let us encourage railroad
building" he said, - ''for this encour-
ages better business" "There should
be one kind of treatment for law abid-
ing capital and another kind of treat
ment for law violating capital
Governor Philip touched on politics
and said that the kind of politics that
! existed in Wisconsin did not tend to
make friends among the candidates.

appropriate time, that especially in his
old home town he did not propose to
let the remarks made go unchallenged.
He indulged in little banter by ad-
dressing the lieutenant governor who
sat near him and whom be alluded to as
the "heir in waiting by saying that his
own health was almost vulgarly good
and said that the lieutenant governor
had one peculiarity that he, the COVER

to be like La Toilette. He concluded his

( President of Association Speaks
B. F. Faast Of Eau Claire, president
of the Wisconsin Association of Real
Estate Brokers, prefaced his remarks
by saying that as he was not raised
IN farm in Sauk County not much
could be expected of him. He said
that the members of the associa-
tion appreciated the hospitality accord
ed them in Baraboo and would carry
home with them not only the impress
sion "Baraboo, the Beautiful, but Bara-
boo. the Hospitsble." He told of the
value in dollars and cents of each set
tier in the state and how each settler
must be made to succeed if the real
estate profession was to succeed. He
said that the real estate men must
be able to analyze the real estate situa-
tion, should be able to know what a
prospective purchaser ought to have.
