THEODORE ROOSEVELT,

In the death OF Theodore Roosevelt
the nation loses the most aggressive
statesman it has ever produced.
He woke the masses of the people
to the dangers certain to result from
the continued control by few men
of the finances and business of the
country. For that service a grateful
nation will build monuments to his
memory.
While no one ever questioned his
love of country and desire to serve
the masses of its people, there were
many country loving men who were
frequently unable to agree with him.
His opponents, however, found him
at ell times splendidly equipped to de-
fend his positions. There was no trace
of shoddy in his stalwart nature He
was a red-blooded American who be-
leved inthe efficiency of force

Turkey is again indulging in her
criminal pastime of killing Armenians.
Turkey is a stencil in the nostrils of
humanity and has forfeited all right
to a place in the big family of civiliz-
ed nations. The murder of at least
a million and a quarter of Christian
Armenians is crime of such colossal
magnitude that it calls for the ex-
tinguishment of the Ottoman Empire.
This is case where the doctrine of
capital punishment should be applied
to nation.

To the everlasting credit of Roose-
welt it can be truthfully said, that if
he had not lived this country might
now be fruitful field for Bolshevism.
Had the Mark Hanna brand of poll
tics, which permitted the trusts to
rob the producing masses of the
country been continued in power un-
til now, the Bolsheviki plague might be
here as well as in Russia and Poland
and Germany. No man, except Roose-
welt. was big enough to break the Re-
publican party into two pieces and
make the Mark Hanna piece the small
er of the two.

DEMAND GROWS FOR WISCONSIN
BREEDING STOCK

where can we go to get good grade
heifers?'
Almost every day the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders Association receives
such an inquiry. From every section of
the country the call is becoming more
insistent, especially since the news that
Better Wisconsin Campaign" has
been launched to Gust the grade and
scrub bulls. Out of state buyers know
from experience that those sections
where pure bred bulls have been used
for a considerable length of time offer
the best opportunities for securing we'll
bred, we'll grown, high producing heif-
ers.
Wide awake stockmen feel that it
will pay to meet this demand and they
are preparing to do so by saving the
promising heifer calves. Other states
do not seem to be as we'll able to grow
heifers as good as those grown In Wis
consin but they are willing to pay Wis
consin farmers for their abilities along
this line. Good grade heifers are be-
ginning to be at premium; there is a
noticeable shortage of them in Wiscon
sin right now. Farmers are finding
profit in saving the good grades and
growing them out we'll.
