Not Very Consistent.

Henry Allen Cooper, in spite of the
long years he has spent in public life,
has yet to learn the lesson of modera-
ton, fairness and courtesy in dealing
with those who oppose him,
Mr.. Cooper complains very bitterly be-
cause he, as he states, was misrepre-
sented and maligned, yet he INDUCES in
the broadcast possible charges of ques-
tionable practices on the part OF his
opponents. The men who op-
posed him could not stomach his record
on war and said so openly. The con-
ference that resulted in the nomination
of Judge Randall and the opposition
that developed afterwards was the sole
result of Mr. Cooper's extraordinary
speech and vote on the question of war
and other votes and actions involved in
the war issue. The voters
who cast their ballots against him did
so because they are real Americans and
demand representative in congress
who measures up to their ideals OF
what a real American is. Racine

THE nation cheered, as we'll it might,
when Woodrow Wilson rose to the mag
nifcent heights before the Congress of
the United States to declare that this
battle for human freedom lifted US out
of craftsmanship and that politics was
adjourned in the interest of patriotism
and the cause of human liberty. How
sad it is for one who could and did
voice such lofty ideals to descend to
such political sordidness as to attempt
to use the battle for human freedom as
a Democratic party asset and hang the
emancipation of mankind as talisman
about the Democratic party's neck

THE difference between Hal Cooper
and Ernest Warner who are running as
independent republican candidates for
congress in the first and third districts
is simply this. Congressman Cooper
was defeated for the nomination in a
fair primary contest. He lost out
mainly because he belonged to coteria
of Wisconsin congressman who helped
pin the badge of pro Germanism upon
our state. But thank goodness We
have out lived the disgrace. And this
eleventh hour repentance comes too
late to be considered now. Ernest
Warner on the other hand did not enter
the primary; it did not cost him cent
to get onto the ticket but is brought
out by disgruntled faction as a dis
turbing element. Only one result can
be obtained by these candidates which
is to lessen the chances of republican
success in both districts which are
strongly republican. The voters ought
not to be misled by the specious argu-
ments of these independent candidates.
Neither is entitled to the support of
any republican who believes in fair
play. Keep these facts clearly in mind
and vote for Clifford Randall in the
first and James Monahan in the third
district.

THE great political fallacy of 1918 is
now placed before the voters by the
Democratic politicians. 1t is that a
Democratic congress must be elected
to uphold the hands, of the COM
mander in chief. The myth makers re-
cite that the election of Republican
congress would cause the joybells to
ring in Berlin and would even lead the
kaiser to pause long enough in his re-
treat to crack smile. It's the same
old line the party pulled two years ago,
with one difference-in 1916 it was,
keep us out of war" by electing a
Democratic congress; in 1918 it is 'Win
the war" by returning Democratic
congress. But here is the flaw disclos-
ed by the records: Wherever the Will
son war policies have met with serious
opposition in congress it has sprung
from the Democratic leaders. The war
measures have had more solid support
from the Republican minority than the
Democratic majority. On all war meas
ures with record votes in the senate II
per cent of the Republican votes, as
against CT per cent of the Democratic
votes, have been for the measures.
The vital twin the war; measures
nave Deon IOrceQ through by the Ne
publican minority in the face of Demo
cratic hostility The selective draft,
the quota bill, and the man power act,
the three pivotal military measures,
were pushed through by the Republi-
cans after the Democratic leaders had
deserted President Wilson. The sup
holding" of the Wilson war measures
has not been by reason of Democratic
congress, but in spite of a Democratic
congress. Chicago Tribune.

THE man power of Wisconsin, exclu-

THE man power of Wisconsin, exclu-
sive of the National Guard now in
France and few hundred IS al
ready in military service, is 3 or
approximately one out of four
citizens of the state, accord Ad-
jutant General Orlando Ho " y. In
other words, 585, 443 men between the
ages of Is and As years have been reg
istered for military service in all of the
registrations in the state. There were
only $1,000 members of the National
Guard, some of whom were registered,
while several hundred, if not several
thousand, Wisconsin men were in some
military or naval service and were not
required to register. cit is safe to say
the man power of Wisconsin is over
600, 900, between the ages of Is and IS
years." said General Holway, ''and l
think our registration will compare
favorably with any state in the Union. "

Prior to the collapse of all organized government in Russia. however, it had become a place of great importance because of the fact that its haroor is relatively free from ice all the year. thanks to it's location on the Murman coast, which is tempered by the North At lantic drift.

Just what the effects of the new government which is said to have been instituted in Siberia are going to be upon the situation in Russia re- mains for the future to disclose.

How large this force is, whether it is simply for the purpose of giving bet ter protection to the stores at Vlad ivostok, whether such troops are to be used for the purpose of aiding the Czeeho- Slovaks or whether they have been sent there to bring about a bet ter organization of the forces in Si- AnEia which are opposing the danger

TURKEY AND BULGARIA.

Indications again point to the fact that there is still feeling between Bulgaria and Turkey which is liable at any moment to burst into flame. For some time there has been a dis pute between the countries because of the territory which has been assigned to each as the result of the decision regarding the partitioning of the De- brudja after the collapse of Rumania, which province had been Rumanian territory following the late Balkan war but was formerly a part of Bull garia.
 Bulgaria did not get it all back and it does not like it. Turkey is clamer ing for part of it and much is being said in the press of the two countries regarding what should and what should rot mark the boundaries Of the two countries. lnasmuch as there has been much freedom exercised in this direction by the newspapers of Bull garia Turkey has just removed the censorship of its press in that direc- tion feeling that it could not cover up it's own opinions while Bulgaria was allowing free expression to the views maintained in that country.
 This is of course no time for two of the allies of Germany to get into trou- ble. Press opinions may not cause them to clash for it can be pointed out that the views do not represent those of the respective governments, but ir view of the fact that Turkey considers it unwise to exercise this restraint any 1 longer there is ground for the belle that the press may be refiecting ths views Of the people and the govern ments and unless something is dons to adjust the matter something more than newspaper discussion may fol, low. It doesn't require much to gt from one step to another in thost 1 countries.
