no man be deceived in this. The senate
Is making history otherwise. 1t has
wrested from its presiding officer, an
honest man. che right and courtesy to
appoint special committees OF confer

insult to Lieutenant-G Governor David

uprightness of character, statesman

their action. This unprecedented dis
courtesy and insult came in the selec-
ton of committee of conference on art
Of the senate in the primary matter.
To gain advantage the enemies of pri-
mary election, by force Of superior num-
bers, took the appointment from David
son and selected three senators rankly
opposed to the primary principle, in
stead of giving the minority represen-
tative on the committee.
The primary matter is now up to a
joint conference of the two houses. The

VERNON COUNTY CENSOR
o. G. MuNsoN. sd',or and Proprietor
WEDNESDAY, APRIL s, 1908.
TEDDY AND BOB.

Their exchange Of compliments at
Madison last Friday was appropriate
and sincere. In introducing President
Roosevelt to the large audience Govern
or La Toilette said:
Wisconsin is proud today to welcome
as her guest the president Of the United
States. Proud because he is a high
minded, patriotic citizen. Proud be-
cause he is q man of action and man
of courage, and man of independence.
Sir, yc.. ars in state where the people
stead for that principle to which your
martyred predecessor, Abraham Lincoln,
dedicated the American people on the
field OF Gettysburg They are for you,
because they believe that you are the ex-
ponent, the fearless exponent of that
principle in this country. We welcome
you here to Wisconsin, and say to you
today, that in all your long journey ov-
er the country you will nowhere, sir,
meet with watmer and more sincere
greeting than you find here in Wiscon-
sin.
In reply to the introduction President
Roosevelt said:
Il am glad to come to so typical an
American state, for feel that here you
have throughout your life as state en-
bodied, put into practice to peculiar
degree, that principle that must De the
basic principle of successful American
craftsmanship. / think that not only
the people of Wisconsin, but the people
OF the country have right to be proud
OF her development as a state, of what
she has done of the part she took in the
war, of the part she has taken in peace,
and the people of Wisconsin as they are
developing now, also have a peculiar
interest for every one concerned in try
ing to see what the American of the fu-
ture is to be, because here in Wisconsin
one sees with unusual clearness the de-
velopment of that American
No two men in the nation today pos
sess such striking peculiarities as Roos-
evelt and La Toilette One stands for
the best things in the nation, the other
for like qualities In the state Both are
honest, straightforward, considerable Of
the public veal and opinions of constit-
uents, but equally as opposed to any
compromise with wrong The are men
of courage and brains and admired by
every citizen who believes in integrity
In politics and public affairs. The spells
politicians, despise both men for these
noble qualities of head and heart.
While such SANDER the governor for his
firm stand against corruption and trea-
son to party and people, this self-seek-
Ing class dare not assail the president.
A good per cent of such, in Wisconsin at
least are government Office holders or
owners of newspapers open to purchase.
But the general public, regardless Of
politics, respect and admire Roosevelt
and La Toilette. The people know they
are honest men and officials who can
not be swayed from the path of duty.

The above are the candid words of
President Roosevelt uttered in Milwau-
kee last Friday Ifhe intended them as a
rebuke to the crowd of platform repudi'
ators who infest the Wisconsin legisla
ture at the present session, and these
who violated their pledges to the people

The visit of President Roosevelt to
Wisconsin was opportune for the good
citizenship of the commonwealth and
our Anodel chief executive. The great
crowds that met and heard the presi-
dent were much impressed with the
man personally ant his broad principles
of stable government. Freed frcsn par.

Judge of Roosevelt as he really is, and
it J. not tlattery to say that regardless
of party ties he is more admired than
ever by the masses. 1t does one good
to look into the resolute, honest counte-
nance of Roosevelt the man, ana of
Roosevelt the president. There is moth
ing sinister in either. Wisconsin's efforts
wers duly reciprocated by the president

Governor Ia Toilette issued procla-
nation designating Friday, May LIST as
.Arbor Day. The day will be observed
in all schools in Wisconsin and is made
a state holiday. Following is the thought
in the proclamation:
To attain advancement in the study
of arboriculture, to promote protection
of the trees and birds, and to cultivate
an appreciative public sentiment with
res ect to them, it is recommended that
this day be observed by all schools, col
ieges and other institutions of learning,
with planting Of trees, and adornment
of school and public grounds, and other
suitable exc cises.

A VACATION WEEK.

The state legislature is taking a week &
lay off, Election vacation, Easter ad.
journment and other things contribt ted
to this result, and it is believed that
more will be accomplished in tue long
run than to have half-week session.
Next Monday members will return and
with fresh vigor take up and dispose of
the vast amount of pending legislation.
at this distance 1t does not seem prob
able that the session will close before
May 18th, or perhaps June first Not an
important bill has been finally consider
ed and disposed of by both houses. This
is the kind of confusion the special
interests court in the closing hours Of
the session. 1t is almost equivalent to
the killing of the legislation they fear
aud oppose. What the harvest will
be" is beyond the power of man to say,
but to one who has been closely identi-
fed with the legislature for many years
IL is safe to predict if precedent counts
for anything that the people will real
ize little of the promises made in con-
vention and on the stump And the
politicians do not need to deceive them
selves that the people will fail to find
out who is responsible for tae delay and
the disregard of promises.
The assembly is making history in it's
good work for the people, having taken |
up and disposed of the matters of great
sst concern. The senate is simply re-
Deating its past recc d for dilatory tao
les, which savors of determination to
blind the state in the belief that the
