The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-11-24

SclentlOuS ScrlVener who loves truth
for it's own sake visited the poor vic
tim and learned that he the victim)
had never been in South Africa; but
that his father many years ago had
run away to sea and spent some time
in the Transvaal, but knew of no blood
relationship with Dom Paul, although
he bears the same name.
There is, however, in Madison
man on whom the TranSvaai mania
might expend itself with some profit
At the One Minute Coffee House is one
William ChOlles, an EngliShman by
birth, who has seen every part Of
South Africa, as we'll as the greater
part of the civilized and unciviliZed
world. He was a party to the first
Jameson raid, and the story he tells
of that memorable eXpedition-ofp peril
suffering, privation and death--is in
teresting enough. His sympathies are
strongly with the Uitlanders Cholles
was in Chile during the late Chilean
revolution, and saw fighting there by
sea and land. He has spent much
time in India, on the Pacific, the In
dian and the Atlantic oceans, besides
having seen the greater part of the
United States.

The state, and particularly the Mad
iSOn moral conscience, is easy at last.
A measure of justice has been admin
istered to the students who partici-
pated in the shady nightshirt opera
lions at Ladies hall few nights since;
and it is understood more is to follow.
Thirteen students have been suspend
ed; five indefinitely, which means vir
tual expulsion. Investigations have
been in progress by committee of the
faculty for week or more, and the
results of their work is now coming
to light. The outrage against the
girls, which eliminated in a ban on
social intercourse with the men Of the
university, has been adjusted by this
action of the faculty, and the embargo
has been consequently raised.
However, at the weekly convocation
last Friday President Adams paid
rather sarcastic respects to the ladies
for their rather precipitate displeasure
and their haSty resolution of nOn-aS-
ISOLATION with the men. He dlsap-
proved of their annual Halloween
dress parties, in which girls masQuer-
ade in mems clothes, as calculated to
inspire some laWleSSnesS. He eau
toned the girls against suffering
blight upon the bloom of their delicacy
by dOnning male attire, which, he as
serts, had in other days occurred. He
thought that if the girls really wanted
to aDepar in masculine garb, they
should send home to their fathers or
brothers for said CARDS, and not resort
to the mems wardrObes for the needed
garments. Altogether, the tone Of his
remarks seemed to be sort of semi
condonement of the action Of the boys
on the memorable parade night; and
many of the girls are indignant, and
think his structures rather unneces-
sary.
Scofield Going to idaho.
The announcement that Governor
ScOfield, at the end of his present term
will remove to the state of Idaho and
that Attorney G. E. Roe, the virtual
law partner and astute political sup
porter of Robert Nj. LaFOllette will
sever the partnership and open law
office in New York, simplifies and also
completes the political situation in
this state. A new Republican leader
is inevitable, and there is much specu-
latiOn upon whom the mantle OF au-
thority will fall. On the other hand,
the Roe Lafollette affair is interesting.
Who will become Mr.. LaFOllette's
partner and who will be the new lieu
tenant of the LaFollette faction, are
questions which are being asked. Mr..
Roe is conceded to be one of the best
supreme court lawyers of the Madison
bar, and his loss to the party cause
he so ably supported in the recent cam
paign will be serious.
When Mr.. Roe made the statement
last spring that he was out of politics
his friends hardly knew what to make
of it. But now that he has announced
his intention of leaving Madison, the
cause of the statement is made clear.
He had already decided to abandon a
field in which no preferment came to
reward long, unfagging party work.
Mr.. Roe is cold, clear-cut, analytical
and unruffied, and possessing unusual
abilities. Friend and foe alike concede
that he will be successful in his pro-
fession even in the crowded field Of
Gotham.
Miss Gwyneth D. King of Chicago,
to whom Mr.. Roe was married in New
York recently, has been co-worker of
Mrs. R. NJ LaFollette here in the
Emily Bishop league. Mrs. LaFOllette
is an enthusiast on physical culture,
being president of the local Emily
Bishop league, and just now, while the
political gossips are giving her mag
netic husband a respite, she is attract
ing considerable attention throughout
the state by her labors in that line.
