THE DIFFERENCE

A dozen years ago there was a
sharp division in the Republican
party, between these who wanted to
go ahead and keep going; and those
who wanted to go ahead, but! Those

"progressives;" those who wanted TO

ters. The President was standoat-
ter. And what he did to the insur.
gents was plenty. He made martyrs
OF them for one thing, and got their
creed across by dramatizing them
as heroes under the cruel heel Of
the tyrant, which was nuts for the
insurgents. So they waxed fat in the
land.
Today there is a similar split in
the party. A dozen Republican sen.
ators, more or less, are lined up in a
revolt, Il is called the agricultural
bloc. 1t is composed of those who
want to go ahead and keep going
And what does our beloved President
do? Does he sail out to the front door
OF the White House and make faces
at the revolutionists? Well, hardly.

it should be said that he was born

parents being William C. and Susan

Baraboo with his parents in 1852;
that he attended the public schools

his teens and for a few years later:
that he entered the University of Wis

THE WHITE MANS SELF-RE.S.
PECT

In North Carolina, never noted for
high indulgence OF the colored race,
white people-many of them-are
pleading for the life of an aged negro.
The subject of their pleas is under
sentence to die. by the electric chair
for the murder of the husband of a
white woman, who, with her lover,
employed him to commit the crime.
While the negro was sentenced to
death, the white man and the white
woman who hired-but did not pay
him to do the killing were given mod
crate terms in prison.
Against this injustice intelligent
people of North Carolina are pro-
testing. While admitting that North
Carolinians have sometimes been
guilty of injustice to negroes, most of

demand that in this case justice be
done through a Communication of the
condemned mans sentence in order
that 1.-The self-respect OF the white
people of the commonwealth may be
saved"
In some regions of the south and in
some cities of the north as well, self
respect has sometimes been forgotten
and the respect of the nation has
been sacrificed through unjust treat
ment of the negro. If Americans
everywhere will be more mindful of
their self-respect there will be less
of that injustice from which negroes
mostly suffer.-Chicago News.

w. D. HOARD ON EARLY FARM
ING

I'M
The unwilling of a statue of Will
lam Demster Hoard at Madison not
long ago. renders appropriate the fol-
lowing from his paper, the Jefferson
County Union, February II, 1882.
Speaking of the early days when
he first came to Wisconsin, he said:
81 never contemplate the wicked,
wasteful character of early Western
farming without feeling of indigna-
ton.
THE farms had a loose unkemyt
appearance; the farmer himself, and
the house where he lived, his wife
and children, all partook of the same
character.
"In answer to my repeated inQuir-
les as to the reason of these things,
I was told it is because this is new
country, and the people are poor.
The answer was about as senseless as
the fact.
81 could not then, nor can I now,
see why set Of men should take a
noble fertile country and proceed to
destroy its productive capacity simp-
ly because it was new and they were
poor. What a binding effect poverty
will have on a mans judgment. There
is not a poor man in the land who
spends his time in the saloon, his
scanty earnings for drink, and steadily
day after day with persistency that
amazes you, saps the life and strength
of a splendid constitution but will
tell you with a sigh that all this fear
full harvest is the result Of his being
poor.
"The same perversity of judgment
obtained among our Western farmers.
Their poverty was cited as an excuse
for their folly.
I'VE all claimed at that time that
we were good citizens, but the facts
show that we were not; for that is
anything but good citizenship, that
destroys the productive capacity of
the State.
"a peculiar feature of those days
was, that there was no pride in the
character OF farming.
1--WE are preached to every day
about the wickedness of pride, but 1
believe it to be the salt of all true
effort everywhere, and when the salt
has lost it's SAVIOR, matters are in a
bad shape
"As l said before, there was no
pride in the conduct or the farm and
still. less in the character Of the
home"
Now as to later times:
"The change in the appearance and
conduct of our farms has been mar
velous.
Where only a few years ago the
prospect was bare of those material
evidences of wealth we always look
for in a prosperous country, they can
now be seen on every hand.
Handsome farm houses and pleas
ant grounds in place of the cheap
concerns of ten years ago; large COM
modious barns and sheds, in lieu Of
the unsightly combination of rude
