Ashland County for LaFoIIette.

Ashland, Wis, Feb. 13.-North
Wisconsin Republicans who nave
heretofore leaned slightly toward the
Stal-Wart circle, believing they were
right, have switched to the LaFOllette
ranks and are now denouncing the
methods Of the Tammany league in no
uncertain terms.
The exposition of the Grant county
scandal by the Free Press is the talk
just now in the Republican ranks Of
the north and the great majority of the
Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglass
county people do not see how the
damaging facts can be explained.
The article has caused the people
Of the north to wonder where all of
the money used in buying up news
papers and other things of influential
nature comes from, and the only con-
CluSion that could be drawn is that the
heavy tax payers Of the state, who
oppose LaFOllette for his just eXactiOnS
and honesty OF administration. have
come to the rescue of the Stal-WartS
with their strong boxes for the purpose
of defeating him and placing in the
office OF governor a man WhO.Will help
to let them down easy.

PLAIN TALK TO NEWSPAPERS.
BY Senator Munson in The Vernon County
Censor.
From Vernon County Censor

From Vernon County Censor.
What humiliation must come TO
many seIf-reSpecting newspaper men
Of Wisconsin. in their better move
mentS of returning consciousness, when
they reflect on the gross injustice they
certainly know they do themselves,
their party, and an honest, con
SCientiOuS governor by publishing, for
consideration, the MilWaukee-pre-
pared abusive and untrue harangueS
against Robert NJ. LaFollette, the
governor OF the whole people. Boys
of the press, you know you are
WOfully wrong IN this matter.
Down in your hearts you know that
honest and upright Bob LaFollette is
the same plain, Woodworking, cordial
and high-minded young man we all
knew him to be when he did chores
and performed al manner of mental,
but honest labor, to support a widowed
mother and work his way manfully
through college. If you know any
thing Of the facts you know that Gov.
LaFOllette has done nothing, alb
SOlutely nothing, to merit the abuse
heaped upon him by a corps Of
INSCRIPTIONS writer's and travelling
agents. Fellows of the press, the few
ill-acquired dollars you receive from
the Milwaukee crowd of money
changers will burn your pockets and
sooner or later bring disgrace and
shame to you individually and to the
cause of the noble work in newspaper
life,

A SONG for the Sold.

Some Wisconsin p pers

Sing a song of Editors
Two hundred in the purse
Honor, freedom, manhood gone,
Could the thing be worse.
Sing q song of Tammany!
Hear the vail of woe
For being caught III doing right
That ONES from Agent Coe!
Sing song of Tammany

If all their readers fail in line.
You've struck bargain Dan.
Now the turu-coat Editors,
Meet wary smile,
Resder. of their League press work
Ask TO see their pile
Starkey on the eleventh floor
Counting out the money,
Finds some men that will not bite
Surely that is funny.
If those papers were the Leagues
Before they had their pay.
Why did some refuse the cash?
Starkey couldn't say "
Sing a song Of Tammany!
Rolls OF bills TO spare!
Are railroads buying up the press?
Does ii come from there?
Sing a song of honest men,
Fair taxes and reform!
LaFollette in he next campaign
Will take the state by storm

An exchange gives the patrons of
post offices the following advice: When
you go to the postof1ice for your mail
don't fail to open your letters and
papers in the office Scatter the
wrappers and scraps Of paper around
the floor. When the floor is nicely
Uttered it makes it look as though
Uncle Sam was doing business. MuSS
it up just like you do your parlor
and your kitchen. When you get a
dun through the mail get mad and
tear the paper into tiny pieces and
scatter them about. A postOt1ice is
not a place to look respectable and you
must do all you can to give it a
dummy" appearance.

The lecturer pleaded with the crowd

cried: God always helps the man
that looks up! Never look down, my

time looking sideways. Look up, and
keep on looking up! | never knew
man to fail IL he looked up. Is there
a man in this audience who can say

An KnUIinh annefunrX.

Beverley minister, 100 miles north of
London, is the shrine of st. John of
Beverley, who died In the year 721.
In 93S Athelstan, king Of England,
gave several privileges to the monas-
terry, one being the privilege of sane
tuary. This was not merely for man.
Staying; it was open to all wrongdoers
except those who had been guilty Of
treason. For ordinary offenses, such
as horse stealing, cattle stealing, being
backward in accounts or being in re-
celpt of suspected goods, man came
into sanctuary about n mile from the
monastery or church. There used to be
four crosses on the main roads leading
to Beverley marking the limit of the
area. In cases Of manslaughter and
murder 1t was not sufficient to be with
in one Of these crosses. Before the
fugitive could claim sanctuary he must
enter the church and seat himself in a
stone chair known Is the "frid stool
or freed chair" To this place many
fed for refuge from all parts of the
country.

PAST FINDING OUT.

This story is told on prominent
club woman. The woman in question
makes up in brains what she lacks in
beauty And her husband offers that
rare combination, cleverness and good
LOOKS. The woman was not unaware
that comments were made on her hus-
bands choice of relatively plain
looking wife, and she determined to
test the matter at first hand So, one
morning, she turned to her butler who
had been with her so many years as
to render her question less odd than
it would otherwise have been, and
said, "John, did you never wonder
shat SO handsome man as Mr.. X
chose me as a wife from so many
prettier women" Then she waited to
have her soul comforted by illusions
to her sweet smiles and winning ways.
She waited in vain, however, for
John, carefully refraining from giving
his own opinion, merely replied
"Well, missus De ways of de Lord
am past findin' out NEW York Sun.

Prima Donna and Her Voice.

Once upon a time there was IA
nous prima donna who made con-
tract with a noted impresario to sing
in concerts for him at a price which
made each of her notes Of about the
value of 81.
All went well until the prima donna
found dressing room assigned to her
that did not meet with her approval.
Then she complained that she was en-
tirely too hoarse to sing, and the i'm
presario had to make polite remarks to
his audience and dismiss 1t after re-
funding the money paid for admission.
The remarks that he made out Of the
hearing of the audience were not so
polite.
Moral wish that they
might have hoarseless prima donnas.-
