Senator Wheeler is ""rarin' to go" as Prog
ressive candidate for Vice President, but he
does not appear to have any enthusiasm for
the suggestion that he resign from the senate
or burn his bridges and get away from the Dem
ocratic party. Evidently he has decided that
discretion is the better part Of vaor and that he
does not want to progress himself out of job
or out of an anchor to the leeward.

Real "progressives" in Wisconsin may be
following Comings as the real exponent of
their belief, but there is not a chance of Com

the politicians of the progressive kind want a

AS the court house gets well under con-
struction, one thing is made more evident and
that is that no county in Wisconsin is going
to have bigger court house than Kenosha
county or one more up to the minute. 1t will
be credit to the county and to the official who
had vision enough to build it for the future.

And, looking at the sentences which are i'm
posed upon some of these repeaters in the vio-
lation Of the Prohibition laws, Judge Belden
must sometimes consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
calling in some of the men sentenced after the
grand jury investigation and offering them an
apology. The repeater is entitled to no con-
sideration, but he will keep right on repeating
as long as he can get off with. the fines being
imposed by some Of the Wisconsin courts. It's
profitable business for him.

LONESOME.

Are you ever lonesome? Prof.
Goetsch of Munich studies ants and
finds that, if isolated from other ants,
they die even though they get the
best of care. Goetsch says they don't
die of lonesomeness but because they
are unable to satisfy their instructive
desires to make homes and raise fam
lilies. Such is the main function of all
forms of life. When people fail to
fulfill their natural functions, nature
begins to destroy them-usually by
maladies for which the doctors can
find no material reason. The real en-
vironment is psychic.

Is the steadily strengthening mar
ket for these staple farm products an
entirely natural and normal process
or is it being assisted by artificial
stimulation, for political purposes?
That is question that is being
studied closely by economists in both
the Democratic and. Independent
camps.
There is an underlying suspicion
that just as the farmer was ''defat-
ed" by orders from Washington fol
lowing the last election, he is now
being Esinfateda on instruct ons from
the same source.
The theory, of course, is that strong
markets and better prices through the
next five months may make it possible
to hold in the Republican ranks the
normally Republican agricultural vote,
which has been threatening to run
amuck.
Improving prices for farm produce,
whether naturally or artifcially sus-
tanned, inevitably give aid to the Cool
idge campaign.

Washington "Corn and hogs can
win the election"
That is the dictum of keen minded
political gentlemen who are watching
with interest the steadily mounting
quotations on the above farm prod
ucts. nj them is seen much more than
a mere market report; even much
more than an index of at least tenn
porarily returning agricultural pros
perity.
For as factor of real Importance
in the coming campaign, more potent
than the fact that William Jennings
Bryan will compaign for the Demo
cratic ticket or that Charley Dawes
helped win the war, $40 hogs and 81
corn may be the most persuasive OF
all arguments to millions of voters.
Tariff and taxation are abstruse, in
volved issues at best. But corn and
hogs!
There's something definite, tangible
