THE DEAD SHENANDOAH.

Another dream of greatness in COM
batting the air has been crushed to
earth with the great disaster which
has come to the Shenandoah.
Made in America, the first and
largest blimp of its kind we have ever
attempted, and the only military d.
rigible we own, the Shenandoah has
placed a question mark after the d.
rigible as a war machine or for any
other use to which its partisans may
feel that it could be put.
These big air machines cost so
much to build, and so much to operate
that they could never be commercial
ly a success as a carrying vehicle.
Now that their danger is certified to
and the fact has been demonstrated
that a storm will tear one of these
unwieldly blimps to pieces, it will be
hard to place another in operation
with approval of congress.
The Los Angeles, another big dirigi-
BILE, the one we received from Ger
many, is as useless as the Shenandoah
although it is still at its mooring
mast. It cannot be used as a war ma
chine under the terms with Ger
many and it is a bad investment for
commerce.
1t would seem clear that the millions
we have invested in dirigibles might
better he spent in airplanes and the
perfection of the machines which, on
the one hand have been so greatly de-
yeloped abroad and which in spite of
accidents are accepted successes.
The fate of the Shenandoah may
change the whole air program of the
army and navy. The requiem for the

A SHAMEFUL END.

Surely Deuces Wild, once famous race horse,
deserves pity for the manner of his passing, if
any horse ever did.
This noble beast, brought to reduced cir
cumstances by competition and infrmity, has
been on duty of late in a Chicago grocery
wagon Chicago, it appears, unlike some pro-
gressive communities, still delivers groceries
by primitive horsepower. But this mental
work irked Deuces Wild Thinking over his
shameful lot, he decided to run away, and did
So
AS he sped down the street with the de-
livery wagon careening along behind him, a
traffic officer Communicated fivver and gave
chase. After an exciting race he .overhauled
the horse Then came the most shameful blow
of ALL The officer tied the horse to the rear
end of the fiivver and started back toward the
stable.
Then burst his mighty heart" as Shake
speare said of Caesar. On the way, the horse
died. The veterinary reported that he had
been asphyxiated by carbon monoxide gas
from the fivver's exhaust But horse-lovers
know better. They say he died of shame

OPENING THEIR EYES.

A real eye opener for some parts of the
state is the series of articles which has been
prepared by the Green Bay Press Gazette un-
der the title of whats Happening to Wiscon-
sin," and now being published in that paper
and in many other papers of the state, includ-
ing this one. It is showing how Wisconsin is
making advances not, because of the help of
the ring which is now directing it's policies,
but in spite of it.
1t is not SO much of an eye opener to Keno
sha for this city has had so many examples of
how progress has been retarded here by the
unfavorable attitude towards industry that
most Kenoshans have realized the situation
long since and shown that realization by the
result of the vote in past elections
If, however, there are still those in Kenosha
and Kenosha county who are still dubious on
this question, they owe it to themselves and
to this community to read each one of these
articles. Let them weigh the facts for them
selves and then decide.

WHIPPING THEM INTO LINE.

From, Washington comes the news that an
effort will be. made to get every member of the
Wisconsin congressional delegation with the
possible exceptions of Victor Berger to take
the stump in the interests of the campaign of
Little Bob" LaFollette to become United
States Senator. These dispatches say pres
sure is being brought to bear on all of these
congressman to bring them into line just as
Congressman Schafer was brought into line by
telling them that their whole future is bound
up with the LaFollette cause
These same dispatches declare that the sup
porters of Little Bob have failed to find as
much aid coming from other states as they
had expected, 1t was thought that some of
the. representatives from Minnesota, North
Dakota and other so-called radical states,
would rush into the breach. These people,
however. have largely learned that President
Coolidge does not consider either Little Bob
or his hackers in Wisconsin as Republicans
They know there is so much Coolidge senti-
ment in the northwest that they dare not
monkey with a buzzsaw.
It is not hard to see why the congressman
here have not rushed to the aid of Little Bob.
1t is no doubt still ranking in their minds that
Little Bob was not chosen by representative
gathering of the so-called Progressives in Wis
consin but was chosen at private conference
at Madison where, according to reports only
three sat in in the proceedings If they are to
be expected to hitch their wagons to this
cause, they probably believe they should have
had some choice in determining the course
which was to be taken. They cannot be blamed
for being little backward in going forward
and no doubt the triumvirate will have to do
no little whipping to get them into line.

Views of Others
THE PERSONALITY OF SENATOR
LAFOLLETTE.

+ There was a decided difference of
opinion as to policies advocated by
the late Senator LaFollette, and as to
the nature and ways he adopted to
impress them upon the people, but
there were none as to his ability,
courage and persistency in driving
steadily at the object in view. When
it was suggested to him some years
ago that it would be we'll to secure
party harmony, the reply was that he
cared nothing about harmony, and it
has been this peculiar disposition
leading him to seemingly care so lit
tie about concord within his own Pro
gressive ranks. When rivalries and
contentious arose all concerned were
given liberty to fight it out at the
mastery over his followers was such
that none dared to oppose him as a
candidate, anything wanted, Wiscon-
sin could give, was his, but his adj
herents were. not all so fortunate.
This commanding spirit was shown
when publicity he Endorsed Mr..
Blaine for governor during the last
campaign, and it did not cost him a
vote. They might say these were
personally owned.
The senator had no need to make
com binations, to make bargains and
trades, to enter into secret agree
ments, for it was the other way with
jcontesting followers to advance their
interests seeking to interest him in
their favor. The senator made no
bargains, what he wanted the order
was sent out and goods delivered.
Then when the order was given for
presidential nomination, he first nomi-
mated himself, made his own plat
form and it was duly carried out, and
the work of trying to destroy the Re-
publican party commenced. He fort
unately failed here, for Wisconsin
was not the country.
The entire state administration
obeyed orders followed by legislators
and congressman, all doing their bit
to defeat Coolidge and Dawes. But
the real Republican spirit is now
aroused and Roy Wilcox will succeed
the late senator, and next year will
see Republican state administration,
legislature and new set of congress
men, with the reelection of Senator
Lenroot.
It is different now. Conspiracies
and bargainings are necessary to boil
'ster up the son of strong father.
Mr.. LaFollette can not trade upon the
name, the people understand and will
choose Mr.. Wilcox for their senator.
They do not desire to elect one on
the strength of fathers reputation.

!Coolidges Give Garden Party

President and Mrs. Coolidge enter.
tanned yesterday afternoon at a gar

VETERANS who are still patients at
1.-THE several Government hospitals in
Washington. The fete was held on
1.-THE picturesque south lawn and the
Iscene was an interesting and colorful
lone.
Many of the veterans received by
1.-THE President and Mrs. Coolidge
showed grim evidence of the price
Ithey had paid for the glory of their
country. Several had to be carried
| upon stretchers, a few were in wheel
|chairs, while many others used
|crutches or canes. There were sew
eral who had lost their sight and
had to be led along the receiving line.
| However, these men gave every evi-
dence of appreciation and enjoyment.
Every effort was made to see that
they were comfortable and that they
received their full share of pleasure.
Besides the families of cabinet mem
| bers, other officials and high-ranking
Army and Navy and Marine Corps
Officers, and a few invited friends,
there were pretty girls galore to min
lister to the wants of the guests Of
[honor-the veterans.
| Music for this gala occasion was
furnished by the United States Marine
Band, which played almost continu-
Iously. Refreshments were served
[from flower -decked tables and, as an
added feature, Tom Mix, movie star,
[gave an interesting riding exhibition
with his horse Tony.
Promptly at o'clock the reception
started. The President and Mrs.
Coolidge stood beneath a large tree
with spreading branches as they re-
|ceived their guests. With them in the
|line were Capt. Andrews, commander
of the Mayflower, and Col. Cheney,
~. S. A, naval and military aides to
the President. Other aides and mem
|bers of the cabinet and their ladies
stood near by. Mrs. Coolidge was, as
usual, very becomingly attired in a
|tan-colored crepe dress, with a picture
[hat to match.
An official count showed that a
ftrif1e under 900 persons passed along
the receiving line, and it was esti-
mated that less than half of this
humber were veterans. The majority
