This tends to show that, in order to be right on great occasions, a Democratic president must cease temporarily to A ROLL OF HONOR.

One of the most important of the many con ventions and "congresses" to be held at St. Louis during the prog ress of the great exposition wtu do me national good roads convention. In. this gathering the United States department of agriculture, the National Good Roads Association and many rail way organizations and commercial bodies will be represented. Next to the farmers, who must de pend upon the country highways for the transportation of their products to market the railroad companies should be most vitally Interested In this movement.

They pick np the grain, the cottony the cattle and the myriad other'prodncta of the soil where the farmer leaves them and complete the general distribution. The railways get all this business in the end, yon may say. so why" should their managers care? In the first place, there would be more business with good roads, for "improved facilities of distribution stimulate both production and consumption, and In the second place the flow of traffic would be more even. There would be less danger of congestion at one time and idle rolling stock at another. There Is still a disposition to look askance at the Browlow bill, even In; its modified form, because there ae wonderful possibiblities of treasury raiding la It but the federal government need not go so far as to hand out money to every township in every state for the improvement of its high ways.

By an extension of the present I campaign of governmental instruction, the appropriation of a little more money for good roads object lessons and demonstrations of the science of rnarf rnillittng, tho ripslreri end can lie accomplished. However, the whole matter will be threshed over at the St Louis convention and the net result will be a long step towards better roads. Already convention will prove a stimulus. Con gress will be more liberal, other railroads will follow the example of the Illinois Central and Great Northern in sending out "demonstration trains" and the eyes of the people will be opened a little wider to the meaning of the movement May End Tie-Up on Lake Traffic.

People Interested iu baseball should not miss the opportunity to attend these great games, as they prom- Ise to be as good as anything we have ever had In our city In the lino of baseball. Perry Werden and his all-star North em League Club will oo with us for two days, ahd judging from the reports tf tho St. Paul papers, they must have a very strong team as they de feated the two time pennant winaers of tho Northern League last week In St Paul, defeating Winnipeg last Sat urday by the score of C-9. Eau Claire will present almost the same line-up as they had In last Sun day's Chippewa game, and if anything, they ought to be stronger, as Capt. O'Donell has Just returned from Min where he signed two new players for the season.

One of them needs no Introduction to tho fans, as he is a tried and proved good man, Jack Page, ono of the finest short stops In the Northern League, signed, by the management here It was Indeed a lucky strike to secure such a man, as he had no peers In the Northern LeaguA last season.

Little Possibility of Making Up Differences Between University and Be-' loit Madison, May 4. Graduate Manager Kllpatrlck has gone Beloit to answer the charges made by the Beloit athletic board of control in re- April 16 at Camp Randall and to secure again peaceful relations Mth that schooL The reasons given for Be-loit's attitude are, first financial 'dlf-ferences; second," unfair decisions, and third, the spirit that has maintained the unfair attitude. Mr. Kllpatrlck was met with a great deal of consideration by the Beloit board who listened to thepresentatlon of his side of the case, and ere willing to moderate the charges, that had been made. Ir.

Kllpatrlck thought that he had gained his point and that with the charges made by Beloit moderated, that peaceful relations' might be resumed with that Institution.

The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin of Tuesday printed a story, from un known sources, which has been eagerly gulped down In some quarters, but which on examination is found to be one of "according-to-so-and-so "one who thinks he- knows" stories which are common In poIiticaFranrpalgns. The tale is this: (Evening Wisconsin. "The full significance of the action of the Fourth Senatorial District conven tion In causing resolutions endorsing Senator Quarles to be withdrawn without a test vote, came to light today, according to astute and well-posted Republican leaders. 'According to their statements this morning, the programme of Cor. Robert M.

La-Toilette is to nominate Ira B. Bradford of Augusta for governor. Mr. La Follette will not appear In the convention as a candidate at all. They point to the fact that up ta this time he has not stated that he was a candi date for a third term, but he hopes, in stead, to Btep into the senatorial shoes now worn by.

Joseph V. Quarles, That this Is unquestionably the pro gramme of Gov. La Follette and his followers Is declared today, by leading members of the party. Including members of the legislature, provided the governor controls the Republican state convention on the ISth. It is also stated by leading Republicans that the La Follette coup in the Fourth senatorial district la this city will be fojlowed In all other senatorial afld assembly district conventions, as they are held, and in whicfl.

Mr. La oilette may be found to be in control. That his workers and close followers sow pretty thoroughly understand the real programme, is believed by men wno are in close touch with the party machinery, or who are being Informed of the movements as far as they are made. "This latest political sensation in the Wisconsin fight for control of the state convention was today commented -upon by i member -of the state senate, who has all along been in close touch with the affairs as they progressed, and who has an inside source of informa tion. He said today: "Ira B.

Bradford of Augusta, a for mer stalwart but for several years a well known advocate of La Follette measures, will unquestionably be the nominee for governor of Wisconsin at the coming state convention. If Gov. M. La Follette is in control of that gathering. This Is known now to be without question the present program of La Follette and his close followers.

If the present plans of the governor are carried through, as he now expects they will. Bradford will be nom inated to succeed him, while Mr. La Follette will go In openly and above board for the United States Senator-ship. The howl made in fighting for Gov. La Follette for a third term, if those engaged againBt it only knew.

means only that he wants control for entirely another purpose. At no time, in my opinion, has Gov. La Follette ever Intended to become a candidate lor governor for the third term though he should have 200 votes in the convention to spare. He has selected Ira B. Bradford for that position, and if Mr.

La Follette wins in the convention, Mr. Bradford will be the nominee' over Baensch and Cook not Gov. La Follette. The governor himself is higher than the gubernatorial office, at this present time. The goal of his am bition today is a seat in the senate of the United States, and he intends to supplant in that high office Joseph V.

Quarles. And, in my opinion, he will do so should the convention that Is to meet on the 18th be a La Follette convention. "The action taken in Milwaukee yesterday, when resolutions endorsing Senator Quarles were practically turned down by forcing Senator Quarles' friends to withdraw them, was but a step in this direction, and that action shows conclusively that the La Follette leaders are fully alive now, If they have not been before, to the exact situation, and they will prevent the endorsement of Senator Quarles wherever and whenever they can from this out "The lines have been tightly drawn at last and the real trick Is known, not only to the La Follette workers, but to other members of the party who have not been in his confidence for well-defined reasons. It will be re membered that up to the present moment Mr. La Follette has not publicly informed any one, friend or enemy, that he is- a candidate for a third term.

Nor will he so Inform anyone, first giving the university ja-chajc to refute the charges made' ag'ains it, and in that light he said that If could not possibly without mithorit: resume relations with and ilia. the matter would now have to como before tho athletlo board -of tho unl versity.

Truly this iseems the least plausible of all the campaign bogies which have been evolved from the political "scare" factory -for some time past.

Its component factors have least cohesion and it deals least In probabilities. In fact, to this particular bogle one might say, as the king gala to the ghost, There is" no speculation 'in those eyes that thou dost glare withal," The publication will probably not have much if any effect at this time, but, being given publicity as. a part of the campaign of the day, will pass by to be succeeded by the next political story of the1 "Jack and- the-Beanstalk" variety. Of course there Is one thing about the storychosen In a way to make by Implication a groundwork for.lt- which is appreciated quite generally, and that is the fact that Mr, Bradford possesses the qualifications for "the office and would command the confi dence of the people. i Will the Wisconsin ploase ask the man why he didn't fix np an arrange mentwhereby Mr.

The Rus sian losses at the battle of Kiulien. cheng were 2,000 men and 40 officers -far greater than previous reports In dicated.

This is the official estimate of General iCashtalinsky, who directly command-1 ed the division that suffered the brunt of the attack and whose report was re ceived Wednesday by the emperor. Many are inclined to place the Russian losses even higher. General Kashtalinsky mentions also that more than 700 wounded had arrived at Fenghuanchcpg and these may not be" included in his calculations. He made no attempt to estimate the Japa nese losses, merely stating that they must have been colossal. The magnitude of the Russian losses had an almost stunning effect on the authorities and aroused general grief, mitigated only by satisfaction the bravery displayed by the Kussian troops.

Not for a moment was there any in tention to pay such a terrible price for delaying the enemy's crossing of the Yalu. This fact was Known throughout the city and gave rise to renewed reports, attributed to official sources, that General Kuropatkln had officially censured General Zassalitch. This cannot be confirmed and the general impression Is that Zassalitch will remain in Manchuria. In Order to Save Two Regiments. General Kashtalimsky's report es tablishes the fact that the Russians sustained the greatest loss in order to save two regiments which were occupying Antnng.

'Kiullencheng is history and we must sow deal with impending events," said an officer of the general staff. The idea has prevailed that the Rus sians would not make a stand at Fenghuancheng, but the fact that a Japanese occupation of that point would enable a movement to the southwest, thus cutting off the Liaotung peninsula, which is taken Into con sideration by the authorities, leads to the expectation that General Kuro-patkin JfU dispatch strong reinforcements "there and 'make a determined stand. The activity of the Japanese, it Is remarked here, is not only north of the Yalu, from which there Is constant scouting, but also off the Liaotung peninsula, though the failure to seal Port Arthur may interfere with the operations they had been expected to carry out on the west coast of that peninsula.
