THE following editorial explaining
who this man Rogers really is, was
taken from the GAINESVILLE Gazette re-
publican paper
I'm Mr.. Kronshage's defense against
the charges made by Messrs. Stout and
Buckstaff, he said that he did not send
any money to Governor LaFollette, but
transacted his business with Mr.. Rogers.
The inference would naturally be that
Mr. Rogers was a disinterested party
acting on his own account and without
the knowledge or consent of the gov
ernor.
This all appears very innocent on
the surface, but the public will be inter
ested to know that Mr. Rogers is the
governors chief executive clerk and for
long time a member of his household.
Mr.. Rogers stands next to the private
secretary in his relations to the gov
ernor. If he received 81, 500 from Mr..
Kronshage for campaign purposes he
received it in the capacity of an EN-
ploye. The iefensei in thi, respect, is
more transparent than blue sky. and
does not merit attention on the part OF
MesSrs. Stout and Blickstaff.n

Failing From a Great Height.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
whymper, who had a severe succession
of falls once in the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatical-
ly that as he bounded from one rock to
another he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield.
The entrance of the bullet into the body
is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or a limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by a fall do not know which
limb is broken till they try to rise. AT
the moment of fall the whole Intel
lectual activity is increased to an ex-
traordinary degree. There Is not
trace of anxiety. One considers quick
" what will happen. This Is by No
means the consequence of presence OF
mind" 1t is rather the product OF alb
solute necessity. A solemn composure
takes possession of the victim. DEATH
by fall Is a beautiful one. Great
thoughts fill the victims soul. They
| fall painlessly into great blue sky

WHAT a revolution of sentiment the
Merrill Advocate has undergone in the
last few weeks. 1t has swallowed La
Toilette, and all his hated 'isms" as II
they were very palatable morsels. 1t

to say things which have to, later, be
taken back. Chris. il a mighty good
fellow, but he has had TO eat quite a
number of very unsayory dishes during
his political life. A firm stand, held to
the bitter end is TO be admired; such a
course adds strength, character and
reputation TO public men, but the truck
ling policy of saying one thing today
and being compelled to crawfish the

editors are now doing, must be, very

WHEN Ed L|lckow, the demo-
cratic candidate for state treasurer,
was mayor of Baraboo, the council,
following the custom that then pre-
vailed, voted him salary for his SER
vices, although the ;city charter made
no provision for compensation of the
mayor. Mayor Lugkow returned the
money to the treasury on the ground
that he was not entitled to it lawfully
and that to accept it would give counte-
nance to an Illegal practice. This
/ incident serves to disclose the char.
aeter of the men the democratic party
of Wisconsin has named for the suff-
RACES of the people. Immediately
following his nomination, Mayor Rose

he would not accept his salary as

acting mayor. The democratic party
