Ders; and second their fear Of in
creased corporate taxation by the
nezt legislature under the recon-
nienddtion ofthe state tar commission
which will then be ready with plan
so complete and !egica! that 1t can
not be gainsaid. The only ray for
the great syndicate interests to escape
the impending blow is to oc>rthrow
the LdFollette regime, and this effort
is begun early under cover Of dus' Of
talk Of "populism" and "Pingrecisn'"
The question is, indeed: Where do
you stdnd," --rhere do you stand as
to the careful, conservative recom-
mendations of increased tardtion Of
corporations. Where do you stand as
to the nomination reform? Where 40
you stand as to eieuoting Mr.. Chds.

sin politics!
The Journal desires to be conserv-
alive. We certainly have no hostil-
ity to corporations-to the railroads.
1t is a cause OF regret that they are
driven into politics in self-defense.
1t ought not be SO. But as citizen,
and knowing the nature and work OF
the tax commission, we cannot go
back Of their returns. The natural
official findings Of the state tax COM
mission compels our endorsement.
For the republican leaders Of the
"stalwarts," as individuals we have
no animostty, and some genuine re-
gard and affection, but II 1t Is between
them and the state administration,
we must choose--between them and
a governor, the tax commission, nom
mating reform and tax reform, there
ls no alternative for us nor do we be-
lieve the people of the state will hes
itate. Their best interests do not lie
with the cause of revolt under whose
banner Mr.. Pfister's Milwaukee Sen
tinel invites them.

tFrom the Madison State JournaD
In n conspicuous editorial recently
the Milwaukee Sentinel asks, "Where
do you stand?"
The State Journal loses no time In
adding that 1t stands by the admins
tration, favoring the denomination
and reelection of Gov. I aFollette.
The gist of the Sentinels article is
this:
Republic ans and democrats alike recognize
that republican factonal fight is now in pro
gress from one end Of the state to the other,
1T Is now achoice simply and solely between
the conservatism and common sense of the stall
~Arts and the radicalism and intolerance Of the
followers Of Gov. LaFollcttc.'
The Sentinel is very audacious and
not a little presumptive in thus serv-
ing notice on republicans of the state
that the great task to which every
republican must at once, seventeen
months before election day, put his
hand IL the downfall or the uphold
ing Of their governor. The prime OBJ
ject Of existence may be politics to
the syndicate interest behind the
Milwaukee Sentinel, but the people
Of the state have other things to live
for than the game OF putting ON set
OF men out that others may ge. n. IL
does not follow that we must all a.
bandon the pursuits OF life and enter
on An exciting struggle to protect a
few Milwaukee men in power and to
save their corporate interests from
taxation. This Is what the Sentinels
call to arms means.
Why should the people get excit-
ed? Why should they get out clubs
to hit Gov. LaFollette? What inter
csts OF theirs has he threatened? He
wagsd hard BATTLE to secure some
sort OF u primary election law-but
that is being done in many states.
The direct vote in making nomina.
tons is generally regarded as in the
interests of the people, not opposed
to them. Gov. LaFoilette was will
ing to compromise on plan that
should preclude the state officers and
so leave his own future out of the
calculation. He did, to be sure, want
the legislative districts to be- operat-
ed under primary elections; but III
that was not because he wished the
plan to have reasonable large area
OF operation, can it reasonably be
supposed that any one man has
monopoly OF the political cleyerness
and facilities for making a public,
universal statute OF his permanent
handmade? 1t is nonsense.
No, the essence Of this split in the
party which the Milwaukee Sentinel
would officially promulgate and pro-

A Famous Newspaper Correspondent.

There are few If any newspaper
men in the United States with a
more brilliant record than that
achieved by Mr.. William f. Curtis.
the famous Washington correspon.
dent of The Chicago Record Herald.
Among newspapers, 1t is generally
conceded that Mr.. Curtis Is the dean
of the large colony Of trained jour
nalists at the national capital. His
relations with the eminent men in
Washington are so intimate and so
personal, that he has an immense
advantage over the ordinary cores
pondent. They give to him their
confidence, knowing that he will
properly discriminate between what
should not be published and what
should.
The newspaper career Of Mr.. Cur.
tbs began in Chicago in 1872. Start.
ing as reporter, he worked his way
upward rapidly to the position Of
managing editor, which he resigned
to become the Secretary ofthe South
American Commission "a govern
ment appointments. While in this
position, Mr.. Curtis travelled extern
sively in Central and South America,
producing several volumes as the
literary result of his labors. Later
on, in cooperation with Secretary OF
State, James G. Blame, Mr.. Curtis or
ganized the work Of the Bureau of
American Republicans, and was
placed in charge of the organization;
and at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position he distinguished himselfby
his labors as the executive head of
the American departments.
| AS correspondent Of The Chicago
Record, Mr.. Curtis travels carried
him not only into all quarters Of the
United States, but almost every
where abroad. His letters to The
Record from Japan and China were
published in book form; likewise
his letters from England, Germany
and France, also those resulting from
his travels in Mexico and in South
America. A letter from Mr.. Curtis
is published in every issue Of The
Chicago Record Herald daily and
Sunday.
