the strength OF each state. This is why
faith could not be placed In Zionism,

material support for certain OF its pT1c

This support might consist in protect

THE HAND THAT HAS FAILED.
BY WILLIAM HAUGHror

BY WILLIAM BAUGHTON.
Wake for the hand that has failed
o Song!
Wake for the hand that has failed
For the head that erred, while the heart
was strong.
In its love Of right, and its:hate Of wrong;
For the flag no foe has traIled.
Plead for the love that is lost
o Prayerl
Plead for the lovethat Is lost
Tor the tears we shed, and the heavy care
For the darkened life, and the heart left
bare,
For the soul that's tempest-tossed.
Weep fer departed worth,
o Famei
Weep for departed worth
For the record left with no deed OF shame
For the lowly life with an honored name
From the toiliug sons OF earth,
Rise for the night is deep,
star,
Rise for the night Is deep
Call to the lawn as it breaks atar
Watch DER the graves where our heroes are
And the loved we've laid to sleep

He has exacted three promises from

lY observe Office hours; second, that he
must be now and will continue to be a

down in the platform of the convention;
and, third, that he will not lobby, in
any way, shape or manner for any pri-

second term with health robust and

adherence to careful ways of living that

anxiety and an astonishing disregard of

mans well being that the sound body of
old has been restored With all the
satisfaction which the condition inn
plies. There can be none who fail to
rejoice with the governor in his happy
state, none who will Withhold the felici-
tation which must be generally felt
at this auspicious inaugural period.
Governor La Toilette remains chief ex-
ecutive supported by triumphant ma
jority unparalleled in a year disassoci-
ated with presidential election, earnest
and loyal co-workers surround him,

IL is due to the governor of Wiscon-
sin to say that there was. that in the
manner of his second election that
would have proved an eloquent excuse
for a display Of personal satisfaction
bordering on vanity at the Inaugural
ton; there was that in it that might
have turned the head of less stable
official La Toilette was elected in the
Ease of strenuous opposition. in defiance
of forces that aggregate the strength of
the railroad'magnstes and the old ma
chine" powers of his own party, and the
democrats, powerful array that was
vanquished in the most stubborn politi.
cal battle ave. tonight in Wisconsin. To
have wen such victory might well be
regarded as sufficient to warrant the
pride that begets arrogance.
But there was nothing of the sort in
Governor La Follette's acceptance of
the duties to which he has been chosen.
His is a broader view than may be
measured by the tape af political vanity.
Governor La Toilette realizes that not
withstanding his personal popularity,
which is very great indeed, it was not
that which elected him. 1t was the
principles with which he is identified
and with which his name is associated,
that n de him invincible at the polls
Indeed il was because of his relation to
this political creed that he is popular.
And were he to discard his creed, We're
he to renounce his principles. he would
be no longer mighty in the land of Wis
consin.
