La TOILETTE AN ANARCHIST.

The Chicago Chronicle announces
that Wisconsin newspaper (which has
been stanch supporter of Governor
LaFol:ette" has been alie2ated by the
governors "anarchistic conduct"
The aforesaid Wisconsin paper is
quoted as sa, ing that it can no longer
support the governor.
So LaFollette is now an anarchist. IS
he? What has he been doing to earn
the title? Simply denouncing COR
poration rule. that IS all. He has
pointed out how the corporations cor
rupt the ballot and even legislatures
and has called upon the honest repub-
Iicans to rise up and save their party
from disgrace and their country
from danger. and for this appeal he Is
denounced AS an anarchist.
The republican leaders have no use
for reformer. La Toilette Will have
to fight for his life if he tries to free his
party from the demoralizing influences
Of corporate domination. He will
probably appreciate the fight that the
democratic party made in 1895 and 1900

the latest concerning the proposed
canal
A good many of the warm admins
tration organs have, with great frank
ness, been discussing the possibility aud
proprlety of seizng the strip OF land
through which it IS proposed to build
the Panama Canal. They argue that If
Colombia will not grant the concession
that the United States cannot afford to
be baked from the great enterprise by
the constitutional obstacles that the
Colombians say are in the way of the
ratification of the treaty. Others of
these republican newspapers favor the
fomenting of rebellion in the State of
Panama against the Colombian Govern
ment and then landing force of ma
rines to make 1t successful. This bold
way of stating that the United States
should exercise its undoubted physical
ability TO coerce weaker state, is on a
par with other imperiallstic ideas that
have been rampant under the present
regime. But these vicious public advis.
ers forget the terms Of the compression.
