 In all the history of the American government there has been no more scandalous misfit in a post of high responsibility than Secretary of War Baker. The very immensity 0f the mistakes and scandals of war denart- ment management under his admins tration have served to protect him and his associates. The mind of the country has been paralyzed by the scope and size and cost of Bakers maladministration His case has been much like that of a man who sets whole town on fire; it has caused so much alarm and excitement and loss that nobody has had the time or the heart to chase the culprit

Some statesman says he is an American first and Republican afterwards. If anyone has difficulty in being both simultaneously he ought to cease being Republican at all.

Some Record

William NJ. Crume, who first saw
the light of day at Towerville, 54 years
ago, visited his brother John +. Crume
and sister Mrs. S. Turk at Wauzeka
the past week. Around Viroqua he is
just plain Booster Bill. Bill boosts
Viroqua, the roads, everybody's farm,
the banks and even his own newspa-
pers. He has good reason to boost
the roads for now he steps on the gas
and two hours after leaving Viroqua
he is putting his feet under brother
Johns supper table. Thirty-two years
ago Bill and John took over the Viro-
qua-Prairie du Chen stage line from
Joe Stuart and Bill of course, drove
the route. Between the cold, to 8
feet of snow, axle deep mud and dust,
Bill thought he'd rather fire on the Q
so he 'yump his yob" and in two
yumps he was in the Spanish-Ameri-
can service. Now he is in the real
gentleman class with a farm q mile
from Vir6qua and runs a highway
tractor in summer time and wood
cutter in winter time. Just to keep
an edge on his appetite. Here's to

DISCUSSION ON WIDE SLEIGH
It's Just the Thing, Says a Farmer
And Gives His Reasons

Editor Censor: The opinion of the
Attorney General, expressed in the
December 10 issue of the Censor re-
garding the wide sleigh law | have
missed, but have noted an article in
the December 81 issue advocating the
present narrow track.
!, If not all, many of the greatest
conveniences of the country were crit
icised in their infancy and quite true
to nature, new things of today are
passing through the same channel.
We are told that Christopher Co
lumbus had it very difficult TO find
support enough to discover America,
but finally did, and what would we
do without America today? We all
need it; and so it is with the wide
sleigh; along with being a benefit to
all, it is of the greatest convenience
to the farmer. In the first place the
wide sleigh is better for use on the
farm; so says a farmer that made
one a few years ago Il could drive
anywhere and had no fear of tipping
over; it's just the thing, only / could
not use it on the road because no one
else used the wide sleigh"
Most farmers have cars; perhaps
there ere only few farmers without
cars, and those who have, we know
would be glad to make their trips to
town and city in the winter with their
car same as in the summer if they
could; for they do not lay up their
car for winter till they have to, and
they would not have to were the wide
sleigh in use.
The use of cars in winter ought to
help make good sleighing. Snow must
be packed solid for good sleighing
and the weight of a car surely would
pack the snow some; with the wide
sleigh in use the front wheels of a
car would not have to loose snow OBJ
struction as now, consequently the
wheels would have but little reason
to spin and would not cut up the sol
i'd road bed with the chains more than
the sharp horse shoe calks in the pres
ent sleigh track.
At the closing of each winter many
places the sleighing changes to mud;
still people must use the sleigh and
drag their loads through that mud
as where the sleighing is good the
track is too narrow for wagon use
which would be overcome by using
the wide sleigh.
Let us tip our hat to the wide
sleigh. 1t is going to come anyway
because we all need it; everyone will
use it; and all other states useing
sleighs will adopt it by and by; then
how beautiful would Wisconsin look
among the leaders.
Yours truly,
w. E. GR0H.
