FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION.

Senator Culiom seems to have got
terribly in earnest when he was at
Cairo a few days ago. Two-thirds of
his audience in that town was com.
posed of negroes. so he gave his at,
tention To the race question He re-
counted the wrongs that are being
heaped on the black race. and he fin
ished with the declaration that the
white people of this country ''will rlse
up" and put a stop to all that devil
try.
The negroes at Cairo will never
know it. but 1t is fact that Senator
Cnllom forgot to mention this little
matter when he was talking TO the
white folks in other parts OF the state,
The ones who are to rise up were not
told anything about 1t: In facts they
had not a hint that anything of that
kind Is expected from them.
1t may be that this never occurred
to Shelby Cullom until he got to
Cairo and was greeted BY an audience
that was two-thirds negro. And he
must have forgotten all about 1t as
soon as he left that town. for he has
since made several speeches.. and
there has not been peep from him
along this line When Senator Cullom
talks in Cairo he believes in giving
them something for home consump-
Review.
Exactly. Senator Cuilon was
brought to Cairo by the Alexander
county Republican machine for tho
purpose of waving the bloody shirt
and whipping the negroes into line.
The people of the state and Of the
country had given him credit for be-
inb above this sort of demagogy. but
he demonstrated his ability TO sink to
as narrow psrtisanship as anybody.
However. IL did not hurt, for notwith-
standing the machines frantic efforts
II was smashed into smithereens.

IA TOILETTE AND THE RAIL
ROADS.

1 1t Is a proud moment for Wisconsin.
1 Wisconsin. first of all the states Of
the union, has made II clear that the
pivot Of modern Industrial life is the
| railroads.
La Toilette. said that the railroads
should pay their share OF taxes and
should be supervised by state rail
road commission.
The railroads, therefore, fought La
Toilette at the Republican primaries.
Being defeated there, they fought him
in the Republican state convention.
Being defeated there. they fought him
in the supreme court. Being defeated
there. they fought him by means Of a
Republican boiling faction.
They are now defeated again. They
will, therefore. in all probability, pay
more taxes and get more supervision.
1t will not be SO easy for them in the
future to control legislatures by grant
ing low rates to their friends or by
imposing high rates upon their enc
mics. They will cease to be In so full
a sense. the masters of Wisconsin.
They will make a beginning toward
becoming its servants.
Here ii the fruit OF La Follette's
ambition" He was ambitious to
have Wisconsin control the railways
and to be the man who should cause
Wisconsin to control the railways. He
wanted to have 1t done and he wanted
to do 1t himself That is his main
fault. He wanted to- do 1t himself He /
would rather do It himself than have
anybody else do. II.
