PLACE FOR HORSES
AND MOTOR POWER
Horse and Mechanical Power
on Farm Is Subject of an
Argument-BOth Are
Needed in Work.

This sQuabble between the advo-
Gates of horse power and mechanical
power is being settled definitely by
the users of power, and the relation
ship of one to the other will eventu-
ally adjust itself through economic
forces. Performance will establish
this relationship without regard to
the arguments, foolish and otherwise,
that may be advanced on either side.
Usually in controversy there is mid
die ground. No one has very much
respect for a person who takes the
fence in a controversy.
This matter of horse power and me-
chanical power, however, is somewhat
different from other matters over
which controversies arise. In addition
to the different groups aligned on one
side or another there is a group that
contends that there is place for both
kinds of power. Such contention does
not necessarily mean that this group
is on the fence. 1t indicates that thew
appreciate the value of both animal
and mechanical power. Tractors have
place on some farms along with
horses. On the other hand, some
farmers cannot use tractors efficiently.
No farmer should discard his horses
entirely until he has determined def
nitely that he can do the work effect
lively and efficiently with mechanical
power.
In the same way motor trucks have
place alongside horses. They have
a place in the city as well as in the
country. The foolish and extravagant
claims that have been made on both
sides have nothing whatever to do
with the kind of power that ultimately
will be used. The man who has haul
ing, field or other work to do will use
the kind of power that is best suit
ed to his needs regardless OF what
may be said by the opponents Of
either horse power or mechanical
power. On the one hand, nobody is
going to continue horses if he can
do the same work with tractor at
saving. On the other hand, nobody
is going to perform his work with a
tractor or a truck if he can do it
more efficiently Will horse power
Efficiency in doing work eventually
will be the deciding factor in the re-
lationship of the two kinds of power

ATTENTION.! Prevent Forest Fires!
Citizens of Wisconsin are eau
toned to be unusually careful with
fires this fall With a continued dry
spell in October and November we
will experience bad fire risk on
cut-over and forest lands. Settlers
are warned particularly to watch
fires set by them in clearing, so
that they will not run over sur
rounding country. Lumbermen and
campers, hunters and all others are
urged to practice great care with
fire in the woods. These fires have
already caused too much damage to
Wisconsin. Care will prevent them.

WHY ARE PRESIDENTS
OBJECTS OF ATTACK
Abuse and SANDER Has Been
the Lot of Nearly Every
President While Hold
ing High Office.

Here and there voice is raised
in wonder at the abuse, unrestrained,
malignant, vindictive, which is con-
stantly directed on the devoted head
of President Wilson. At the worst,
suggests one paper, "he spiritualized
our aims and defined our war eff
forts as a supreme task in the SER
vice of humanity, justice, peace and
progress" and latter the war, he
tried to realize the cherished dream
of mankind by putting into con-
crete workable form league of ma
tions and peoples to substitute JUS
tice for aggression, reason for the
sword" But for all this, nothing
has been too low, or too vile to say
of him. What is if possible more
amazing, men who expect us to
rank them as gentlemen have found
no expressions, however abusive, too
vile for them to employ, if only they
were applied to the president of
their country
What is it about presidents that
makes them objects of the most vic
ious attacks and the most absurd
and impossible SANDER? It is moth
ing new. Recent researches have
brought to light such things said of
Washington. They were said of
Lincoln. And within our own memo
ry, they have been said of others.
Cleveland was proclaimed by per-
sons, who held themselves respect
able, drunkard and wife beaten.
Stories were passed from one to
another about Harrison that no pa
per would have dared print for its
readers sake, even had it not
known they were lies. The lovable
Mckinley was pilloried as the weak
and corrupt tool of other mems
brains Roosevelt had to go into
court to defend himself against the
repeated charge of being drunkard.
Taft, for all his known cleanness
and uprightness, did not escape the
slanderer. And when Wilson reach
ed the White House, even before
the animosities and prejudices Of
war were aroused, there were not
lacking men who at so-called gen
tlemen's' clubs in Washington orig
mated the vilest personal ISLANDERS
which were of course industriously
repeated when he became candi-
date for reelection by men and wo-
men who if they had any sense,
knew they were false.
This is the punishment we mete
out to men whom we call to the
highest office. reward with our
greatest honor. In proportion as
they are strong individual person
alities and take part in matters of
great moment, they seem to suffer
more. And yet no one says today
of any man who ever occupied the
great Office that he betrayed his
country, that, however he might
have been mistaken, he deliberately
did what he thought was not right
for America.
Malice, vileness and all untruth-
fulness is directed against living
presidents by men and women who
think of themselves as the best
people" Tales are told which it
seems strange such people can
hold in their hearts. But if per-
chance the assassin's aim reaches
a president, we set him thereafter
very close to the right hand of the
Great White Throne.-The Milwau-
