THE LEGISLATURE

there Is a spirited contest IN
progress, and the so-called
ssstalwarts" and the LaF'ollette
or administration men, are fight
a prolonged battle for suprem-
acy. Every bill that comes up
that bears the ear marks of fac
tionalism is being fought to fin
ish. Meanwhile the Demo
Gratis who usually hold the bal
ance of power are quitely sitting
back and enjoying the fun, and
only dip in when there is a
chance to put the republicans in
a hole. The big fight has Of
course been on the proposed
primary measure, and both sides
of the controversy have exerted
every possible effort that could
result to their benefit.
There are among the members
those who have maintained a pO-
sition governed by the merits of
the measure and their under
standing of it, but most of the
members have identified them
selves with either one faction or
the other, and are simply obey
ing the will of their masters.
The railroad taxation bill, which
was as just a measure as was
ever presented to a law-making
body, and which would have net
ted the state an increasedincome
of 100000 annually in taxes, was
killed in the assembly last week,
and it was all brought about by
the energetic work of the rail
road lobby, who despite the alb
sence of the pass system, are
more in control this year than
ever. And then at about the
same time another good bill, Civ
ing the people of cities the right
to vote on franchises, know as
the "Lenroot bill" met it's death
in the Senate. The attitude Of
the legislature seems to be very
much in favor of the corporations
and their interests, and anything
that is detrimental to the great
interests of capital meets GER
tain death. These facts leads an
impartial observer to the conclu.
sion that the legislature of 1901
is not composed of men who are
representing the great state of
Wisconsin in a proper manner,
and it is with a feeling of gen
uine regret that we noted the
vote of the assemblyman from
this district recorded against i'm
posing just tax upon railroads,
that would have brought to the
state over half a million of dol
lars annually.
AS to Primary Election prin-
ciples there is a feeling manifest
ed at Madison that LaFollette
should be turned down, and an
other set of officials and legisla-
tors are fighting in his behalf.
ssThe people are bedammed,
their attitude and rights are re-
garded by but few, and praised
be those few-whether for or
against the measure, because
they are voting for their honest
convictions. There is a big ele-
ment at Madison who would
gladly see all forms of the pri-
mary system voted down, there
is another element who wish to
see it enacted in it's entirety, but
most fair-minded public men
feel that it's provisions should
be extended to the voting system
of the state in small way, which
would test the merits of the
scheme, without jeopardizing
the whole political system. 1t is
at the best regarded as an ex-
detrimental measure, and as such
fair minded men would like tosee
it applied to county elections,
while others go farther and would
include Legislative positions.

THERE is all sorts of gossip at
Madison and a great deal of com
ment throughout the state over
the recommendation of Governor
LaFollette advising the cutting
down of expenses in the state
administration by discharging a
whole raft of useless employees
about the capitol The Governor
has certainly taken the right
stand, and there ought to be no
one who will maintain that the
people of the state of Wisconsin
should be taxed to support a
whole lot of good ward healers
and politicians in jobs that have
no greater function attached to
them than that of permitting
some one to draw fat salaries.

If any one asks you about the
bill to create the State Board of
Immigration, or rather to re-
create it, just tell them that it is
''too dead to skin. The writer
looked up the measure at Madi-
son last week, being naturally
interested in it, but it did not
take long to discover that the
Governor had killed it with "his
little Ratchet.

.WHAT'S in name?" We are
told that a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet. In
cidental to this uch-discussed
theory the question arises as to
the fragrance of the proposed
new county to be taken from the
northern end of Chippewa, and
it is an open question whether
the name of Gates really sounds
better than Rusk. But Gates
offers to give the new county
$4,000 if they will adopt his
name, and Rusk being dead is
unable to say just how much it
would be worth to him. But it
looks as though Gates would win
out. Of course the nal1e of Rusk
is sacred to all WisconSiniteS,
but even so no one ought to kick
on Gates name being given to a
new northern Wisconsin county,
as he lunquestionably is one of
the greatest all around hustlers
in the state, and has been the in
strumentof putting more settlers
into northern Wisconsin than
any other one man that has ever
lived. Let the new county take
Gates name and his $4,000.
Both of them will be all right.

SOME of the West Superior
politicians are making an effort to
legislate Congressman Jenkins out

Madison connecting all sorts of
schemes to get rid of Chippewa

but it is a good deal as the Telegram
says: If Douglas county should get
things absolutely to their liking,
they could not agree among them
selves, and some inland town would
get the Congressman. But there
is one consoling fact connected with
the Superior schemes in the

they are no more anxious to get rid

breast. If you starve the stomach, you
starye the organs 1t feeds. But starva-
ton of the body can be accomplished
even where food is plentifully supplied,
because If the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
then the food will not be converted into
nutrition or only partly so, and the body
inadequately nourished will begin to
grow weak. The first attempt, then, in
dealing with weak body is to nourish
it into strength The general method of
this attempt IS TO try aud bring the food
down to the level of the weak stomach
This IS done by the use OF prepared
foods, cod liver oil, and its eInulsions
