Two Falsehoods.

In his speech at Grantsburg last
week Gov. La Toilette repeated a
statement that he has made many
times during his tour of the state, an
assertion in which there is not even
shadow of truth and one which
was deliberately planned for the
purpose of deceiving the people OF
the state. He said: GA section of
the press which serves the corpora
tons assails the doctrine that the
state or nation has the right to regu-
late the railroads as radical and popu-
listic."
There are two falsehoods in the
sentence quoted, one implied and
the other direct. The implied false
hood is contained in that part of the
sentence which speaks of "the sec
ton of the press which serves the
corporations" There is no such
section of the Wisconsin press. The
direct falsehood is the statement that
"the doctrine that the state or nation
has right to regulate the railroads"
has been assailed as radical and
populistic.
There is not a newspaper in the
state of Wisconsin to-day that does
not believe in and support the right
of the state and nation to regulate
the railroads. The railroad com
panies themselves acknowledge that
right. The legislatures of Wiscon-
sin during the last fifty years have
assumed that right and acted upon
it, fact that is amply demonstrated
by the statutes. milwaukee, Senti-
mel.

Guess Not.

The Milwaukee Free Press play
fully suggests that if there are any
stalwarts in the next Republican
state convention we may expect the
introduction of resolution con-
demning political speeches at fairs.
We incline to the opinion that there
will be more stalwarts in the next
convention than can be managed by
the La Toilette contingent, but there
will be no occasion for the introduce
ton of a resolution of the character
indicated. The speeches being made
at fairs by Gov. L. Toilette are a
source of weakness to his cause, and
the stalwarts can stand whole lot
Of that sort of thing. The Cover
nor's frantic efforts to secure third
term are serving to demonstrate his
unftness for the position which he
now fills.

fractional Differences,

The truth of history will hold
Gov. R. M. La Toilette responsible
for whatever factional differences
may divide the Republican party in
Wisconsin. After having been
stranded by the Democratic tidal
wave which swept over the country
in 1892, Mr.. La Toilette set himself
industriously at work to construct a
political machine in this state, of
which he would be the head. if not
the entire machine. The purpose
of this machine as designed by the
originator, was to place Mr.. La
Toilette in the seat then occupied by
Col. w. F. Villas in the United
States Senate, and also to make him
dictator in Republican political af-
fairs in Wisconsin. The completion
of this machine was somewhat de-
layed by the failure of Hon. n. P.
Haugen to secure the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in 1894,
and before it could be placed in full
working order Col. ]. c. Spooner
slid into the seat vacated by Senator
Villas. Later, however, the machine
was finished and. it now affords the
most striking illustration of one-man
power ever witnessed in Badger
State politics. The subordinate
parts of this machine are of so little
consequence that Gov. La Toilette is
practically the machine itself, and a
more arrogant and intolerant one it
would be difficult to find. All who
wear the La Toilette label must do
as their leader directs, and all who
do not wear the La Toilette label
are set down by Mr.. La Toilette as
being opposed to good government,
and therefore enemies of the COM
mon people. There is nothing of a
pacific nature in Mr.. La Follette's
makeup. Cancellation is some
thing for which he has no time, his
inclination being to crush every
thing and everybody entertaining
/ .Jooo ,oo+ - oooo~Joooa nth he
own way of thinking. Illustrations
of this fact are numerous, prominent
among them being the uncompro-
missing manner in which he ran the
last Republican state convention,
and his repeated attempts to dictate
in matters of legislation. The
last Republican state convention
was distinctively La Toilette af-
fair, which sought in every way tc
ignore all claims presented by what
was termed the stalwart faction OIL
the party. This not being enough
it demanded that Senator Spoonel
declare his adoption of La Toilette
ism as the price of his retention ir
the United States Senate. Senator
Spooner was in the military service
of the United States, contending fol
the ascendency of Republican prin-
ciples, when Governor La Toilette
was in knee pants, and it was I'M
necessary for him to subscribe to the
j La Toilette creed. The people re
sented this insolent and insulting
attempt to whip Mr.. Spconer into
the La Toilette line, by instructing
their representatives IN the legisla
ture to vote for that distinguished
statesman for senator.

War in the Orient?

1t had seemed to us that Russia
had placed herself under solemn OBJ
legations to evacuate Manchuria at
definite time, and that upon this
diplomatic promise we could rely.
A fulflment Of this promise would
end the Manchurian incident, and
relieve Japan of the apprehension of
perpetual menace. Russia was to
begin the evacuation the 9Th instant,
but when no move was made to-
wards this end other nations asked
for an explanation. Russia replies
that the treaty by which it agreed
to evacuate has elapsed" 1t ap-
pears that the evacuation was con-
ditioned upon China's action. China
was to perform certain definite acts
required by Russia which have not
been done. This is Russia's ex-
PLANTATION. And now it is reported
that Japan has seized port in Corea
adjacent to Manchuria which may
lead to war with Russia. In such
an event England is likely to be
involved as an ally of Japan. China
would necessarily be drawn into the
fight with possibly still further COM
plications.

Not content with fomenting fac

In some quarters La Toilette is al
ready regarded as an excellent ex-
ponent of Democratic principles,
and should this sort of thing pro-
gress much further it will be a good
thing for the Republican party OF
Wisconsin to pull itself together and
purge itself of La Toilette and La
