Garfield Speaks Here

President w. A. Garfield of Carroll
College, conference candidate for U,
S. Senate against Robt. M. La Fol-
iette, spoke here Tuesday afternoon.
He was well received and made a
good impression.
In the evening Mr.. Garfield spoke
at Hudson. The following items
concerning his campaign are taken
from an article by Geo. N. Briggs in
yesterdays ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Indications are that Wisconsin will
have the hottest fight of all states
before the issues drawn for the Mo-
vember election,
The conference" ticket was con-
structed at a meeting in Milwaukee
June LIST by a delegation of 1000 Wis
consin republicans representing every
county in the state. The LA Fol-
lette" ticket was dictated by La Fol-
lette himself in Madison in conference
with Governor ]. j. Blaine, who is
seeking denomination against Will
liam Morgan, selected at Milwaukee.
Garfield, who is president of Car
roll College at Waukesha during his
spare moments, is an outstanding fig
ure who has set himself to the gigan-
tic task of beating La Toilette out of
the republican nomination. Frankly,
Wisconsin anti-La Toilette republic
cans are not wildly enthusiastic about
his chances. If they were they might
win, but La Toilette has represented
the state for SO many years and has
had such a strangle hold on the bal
lot box that his chances do not APP
pear to be dimmed by Ganfield's OPP
position.

A very few years ago this paper
harped quite some considerably upon
the then detestable condition Of River
Falls main street. We we're right
soundly panned-for that by some who
claimed it a shame to thus advertise
our city's defects to the world at
large. Then came the paving of four
blocks on Main street, and the White
Way, which shut off our harping far
better than the panning. Now there is
the matter of the condition of Main
street for a couple of blocks both
ways from the paving. We whisper
this just among ourselves, SO the resi-
of the world won't get it, but we con
slider it a shame to have those same
old spring-busting bumps that were
in existence long before the paving
was ever thought of still on the job.
A wagon load of gravel on that
trench-crossing on N. Main street and
a few hours labor with drag and pick
beyond the south end of the pave
ment should suffice to remedy the
worst road defects between Prescott
and Hudson.

Those Gray Hairs

"A country editor says that he can
name the cause which turned each
and every of his gIay hairs from
their original tint.
Here's one Of them:
A community worker of the town
called ur and explained that her So
ciety was raising a fund to perpet-
uate the memory of the old village
school, and that she was sending a
series of articles on the subject and
also announcements for socials and
other benefit affairs which were to
aid III raising the funds. Then too
she wanted a table, a typewriter and
some stationery laid out conveniently
for the use of some ladies who were
coming to the print shop to get what
ever data they could from the old files
of the paper there. Also could he do
nate some strong tie-envelopes to
keep the memoranda in. If conveni-
ent would he please not u any of
HIS pIESSSS WIllc Vic SCIifiiiiceSC WoS
there as it distracted from their
work. Please have it nice and warm
in the office while they were there,
and if there isn't a large light over
the table, please get m for that pur-
pose.
The editor asked what form the
memorial was to be presented in.
1t was to be a neat little pamphlet,
giving all the data obtainable, and
the m of the students, teachers,
board members, etc., with old cuts
of the building, the latter to be fur
nished by the printerJif he would be
so kind.
And where was this to be printed!
Oh, the committee has found a nice
little shop in the city, and arrange
ments are being made to have the
work done thereI
"And the editor smiled sweetly and
swore not a swear, but he aged a Wee
bitty, and gained a gray hair

Farmers of a nearby county have
been bunkoed and annoyed so much
by political Lizards who hound every
gathering that they are emphasizing
the following warning in their an
nouncement of a big Holstein picnic
to be held Saturday: "The commit
tee has decided to hold a good time
picnic without any orations. Anyone
who attempts to make a speech will
be dumped into Lake st. Croix."

A couple of ducks would have haC
a walk-away at the alleged auto races
staged in New Richmond Sunday. In
spite of the impossible condition OF
the track, the management took in
shekels at the gate and had a, number
of cars circle the track a few times.
An idea of the entertainment may be
had from the fact, as reported by a
number of those who went up from
River Falls, that two or three of the
cars became mired on the track and
had to be hauled out of the mud.

Gurnoe, Smuland and ID. Smith of
this city played with the Ellsworth
team at Bay City Sunday. The game
was called with the score tied at Sail.
Although it rained throughout the af-
ternoon, the Bay City management
didn't see fit to call a halt on that ac-
count until the eighth frame, when
Ellsworth had a mar on second, none
out and the head of the batting list
in waiting, so one of the local play
ers informs us.

A barn dance, held on a farm own
ed by Walter j. Hill near Saltwater
and operated by Lloyd and d. L. Rey-
nolds was raided recently by a sheriff
and a prohibition agent. The Rey-
nolds brothers were charged with
conducting an immoral dance, and
several others were taken for distri-
buting moonshine. Some young girls
were arrested, but were Immediately
released on account of their youth.

The Saturday Evening Post last
week contained a cartoon which was
as lamentably true as it was excru-
ciatingly funny. 1t showed political
candidates training for essentials
which win votes: one was developing
lung power on an ~oratorical hot-air
machine; two were kicking a goat
hack and forth with their feet-pass-
ing the buck" another was hurting an
Observation-Disclosures or sidestepping
vital issues" another was Juggling a
peanut politics pork barrel, and SO on,
through the list of political bunkum.
No matter how much of a fizzle a
candidate may have proved himself
in business, and most of them were
dismal failures in their chosen pro-
LESSONS, he can win votes if he is pro-
fcient in the circus stunts of politics.
And yet, somehow, we expect BUSH
nesslike administration of state and
national affairs from this brand of
slickers, and believe them year after
year, when they tell us that they can
and will deliver. Look over the list
of professional politicians with whom.
you are personally acquainted, and
note how true the cartoons message
is. There are exceptions of course,
but they're few and far between,
and horelessly in the minority.

When Blaine spoke here a couple
weeks ago he said he didn't care any
thing about the press of the state,
with the exception of two. With the
exception of the two papers refer
red to the press of the state gener-
ally features the news of the day,
and anyone may contribute his or
her views on politics. The two refer
red to feature politics almost to the
exclusion of all else, and will print no
comment favorable to anything but
the Blaine brand Of politics. The
Governor-in his speeches-just
hates the Subsidized press" (~unless
it is wholly subserviant to his ma
chine). Blaine also nearly toppled off
the platform in denouncing legisla-
tive tactics which forced the River
Falls Normal to build its heating
plant chimney n year and wait an
other twelvemonth for the plant it
self; yet the delay was, according to
report, caused solely by the Gov
ernor himself. In his speech at Els
worth two years ago (which he an
nounced here was not a political
specify Blaine lauded Senator Skog-
mo to the skies, and said that Pierce
county should be proud of him and
give him support. We were reminded
of hat Auditory comment when
the Governor referred to Geo. B.
and his associates here two weeks
ago; it was all so very, very different.
Blaine's only reference to Wiscon-
sin affairs was an enthusiastic phrase
in favor of the primary, using a5oEt
the same tone as his opposition, who
also favor it. He made his bid for
remembrance and popularity by CIV
ing a humorous account of the New
berry case, which has absolutely moth
ing to do with the ~governorship.
This review of Blaine's visit here is
not particularly in protest against
Blaine or his methods-the others
are perhaps just as bad, and maybe
worse. But it illustrates the really
insulting estimate which these pol
iticians put upon the voters intelli-
gence, and, what is worse, the re-
spouse of the voters upholds the pol
itician in that estimate.

The State Highway Commissions
report for the month of June shows
that. SO accidents occurred on state
trunk highways in that period, and
that in all but 80 of these accidents
someone was injured. The main
cause of accident was reckless or
speedy driving. Six persons were
killed, 43 seriously injured and 50
slightly injured in these accidents.

Wisconsin produces more pure
bred seed grain than all the other
states of the Union, with Canada,
Mexico, Central America and South
America added, put together. Most
curious is the fact that while other
countries clamor for Wisconsin pure
bred seeds, thousands of farmers of
the state where they originate are
not yet using, them.

The Wisconsin county unit plan
for supervision for county schools
was defeated by the last state legis-
lature probably for lack of puplic in
terest and support. The plan pro-
posed a county board of education
which should lay out general policies
and appoint a county superintendent.
This plan will doubtless come up be-
fore the legislature again, IS it Is
conceded to be the first big step to-
ward good rural schools in Wisconsin.
