Great cities in all lands derive much Of
their beauty from their parks. Grand

towns. New York city. the metropolis Of
America, would have nothing 10 boast Of

Central Park. Chicago, the giant and the
pride Of prairie towns, is only relieved
from the dreariest sort OF monotony by
the environment OF parks that give grace
10 its suburban areas. Boston might rest
its laurels upon historic buildings and Rev

THE PEOPLE WANT LaFOLLETTE.

For the third time Hon. Robert
M. FaFollette is a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor.
Four years ago this paper supported
him because we believed the younger
element of the republican party was
for him, and because we believed
him to be the ablest candidate for
the place. Two years ago we felt
that his candidacy was inopportune
inasmuch as Governor Scofield was
undoubtedly entitled, by precedent,
to another term.
Mr.. LaFollette's candidacy this
year is Enthusiastically in accordance
with the wishes Of the people as a
whole, composing the republican
party of Wisconsin. The TINES
never has been factional and would
not support Mr.. LaFollette for fac
tional reasons, but wess believe that
the will OF the people should be
obeyed, and the people everywhere
want ''Bob" LaFollette for COVER
nor. He is just as much the popu-
lar candidate as Roosevelt was at
Philadelphia or Mckinley at St.
Louis four years ago. The poll
ticians are still against him, quite
as bitterly as in the past. The
battle is on between the politicians
and the people-and the latter will
have to be careful or they will be de-
feated again.
From the information at hand we
are led to believe that Bayfield,
county will send a LaFolleUte dele
cation to the state convention.
This is as it should be. Let La
Toilette be nominated and Wiscon-
sin will give a stronger majority
this year for the republican party,
than it would for any other candi
date

vision, strong in Judgment and firm
in action, always inspiring and de-
serving the confidence of his coun-
trymen.
We recognize the necessity and
propriety of the honest cooperation
of capital to meet new business con-
ditions and especially to extend our
rapidly increasing foreign trade,
but we condemn all conspiracies and
combinations intended to restrict
business, to create monopolies, to
limit production or to control prices
and favor. such legislation as will
effectually restrain and prevent all
such abuses, protect and promote
competition and secure the rights of
producers, laborers and all who are
engaged in industry and commerce.
Accepting by the Treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victor
les in the Spanish war, the president
and the senate won the undoubted
approval of the American people.
No other course was possible than
to destroy SPANS sovereignty
throughout the Western Indies and
in the Philippine Islands. That
course created our responsibility be-
fore the world, and with the unor-
ganized population whom our inter
vention had freed from Spain, 10
provide for the maintenance of law
and order and for the establishment
of good government and for the per-
Torrance of international obliga
tions. Our authorities could not be
less than our responsibility, and
wherever sovereign rights were eX-
tended it became the high duty Of
the government to maintain its
authority, to put down armed insur-
rection and to confer the blessings of
liberty and civilization upon all the
rescued people. The largest meas
ure of self-government consistent
with their welfare and our duties
shall be secured to them by law. To
Cuba independence and self-govern-
ment were assured in the same voice
bv which war was declared and to
the letter this pledge shall be per-
formed.

history and upon this declaration Of
its principles and policies, confident
ly invokes the considerable and ap-
proving Judgment of the Ameri-
can people.

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT

THE republican national conven-
tion did just as the people wanted
nominated Theodore Roosevelt for
vice president. OF course President
Mckinley was renominated without
any hesitation, but great deal of
doubt and uncertainty existed re-
garding the second place on the
ticket. The whole country wanted
Roosevelt, but that gentleman him
self had other plans and wanted to
remain as governor of New York
state. Senator Hanna and some of
the other leading politicians were
opposed to Roosevelt's nomination,
but the rest insisted, and the people
won.
What ticket! VIM. Mckinley,
the greatest Of American statesman,
the man whose Judgment is always
right, the noble, pure president
whose name will be coupled by his
torians with that of Washington and
Lincoln as the greatest of all Ameri-
cans. And "Teddy" Roosevelt, the
hero of Sar tiago and San Juan
gentleman, statesman and Rough
Rider. 1t is combination to en-
thuse and interest the activity of
the country, and it will be gloriously
victorious in November.
