The third-termers are putting up
a campaign of bluff. ola Toilette
is gaining votes every day. He is
more popular than ever. He is sure
of being elected by-tens of thou
sands-a hundred thousand" If
you doubt it they refer you to the
Republican vote of 1900. La Fol-
lette then had over 100000 majority.
He is gaining in popularity and is
making additional votes, and conse-
quently the conclusion is inevitable
that he will be elected by more
than 100000 majority. Some Half
Breed papers argue thus. But who
that stops to think and observes be-
lieves such wild tales? 1t is asserted
by some of the Half Breed leaders
that 10000 Democrats voted for La
Toilette two years ago. If they had
not where and how could he have
secured majority of $4,000? Sup
pose these Democrats, in view of
their belief that they can win this
fall, vote the Democratic ticket?
Are there as many Republicans
who will vote for La Toilette this
fall as there were two years ago?
Does not every man know of Re-
publicans who voted for La Toilette
two years ago who will not this
fall? And does any one know of as
many who voted against him then
that will vote for him this fall as
he has thumbs on his left hand?

They Are Mind=Readers.

One of the principal articles of the
Half Breeds stock in trade is a
chronic habit of impugning the mo-
tives of those who differ with Tor
FROM them. They are so narrow
minded, so bigoted and intolerant
that they cannot understand-or will
not-how it is possible that the
other men can be honest and not
believe with them that "the moon is
made of green cheese" In every
issue of some of these Half Breed
papers animadversions are made
with regard to the course of con-
sentative Republicans and motives
assigned agreeable to the whim of
the writer instead of the rational,
natural and honest intent of the per-
son criticised. 81 said in my haste
all men are liars" and the man who
makes such a statement includes
himself. In fact such an insinuation
usually comes from one who has lit
tie honor and small regard for the
truth.
Insurance Commissioner Host, in
his annual report criticises the Pru-
Dental Insurance CO. for bringing
suit against him in protest for the
demand for exorbitant charges for
examination of its affairs and asserts
as to the motive of the company in
bringing the suit that it did not sue
because of exhorbitant charges, but
to intimidate him-the commissions

company was affiliated with trust

BILE as LaFollette's intimation that
the Republican National Commit
tee had been approached" and
Houser's profound conclusion, at is
steal," when the National Repub-
lican Convention unanimously voted
to seat the regular Republican dele
gates from Wisconsin. And such
absurdities are accepted by the Half
Breed papers as the wisdom of re-
form.

State Institutions.

TX. ASYLUMS FOR THE INSANE.
Care for the insane has come to
be one of the most important of the
state charities as it involves the con-
sideration of a larger number of eo-
pie than are in any other state insti-
tuition, or in fact in all. In the
eight state institutions under the
charge of the Board of Control, al
ready considered in this series, there
are a,468, exclusive of the 500 on
parole from the In~asEtil School
for Boys, while the asylums estab-
lished for the insane have at this
time 5,175 inmates. These are dis
tributed among 80 asylums. Two
of these are exclusively state institu-
tions-one at Mendoza, the Wiscon-
sin State Hospital for the Insane,
first opened in 1860, and The North
ern Hospital for the Insane near
Oshkosh, opened in 1873. There
are 81 county hospitals. At the hos
pital at Mendoza, on the date of the
last report, there were 40; at the
Northern Hospital, 6I5 and at the
Milwaukee hospital, SIS, while at
the several county hospitals there
are 5000. Considered as to sex
there are 2,oI1 male and 2,2o4 fe-
male patients in the state and county
hospitals.
In proportion to the population
there is one insane person in the
state to every 400 people. The
total expense for caring for the in,
sane is about $4,000 a year, OF
which but $95,269.7l was borne by
the counties.
AS the insane are merely unfortu-
nates-sick-they are treated with
all kindness, furnished medical at
tendance, and in the state hospitals
their maladies are treated by ex-
pert physicians. In all the asylums
the insane are furnished good whole
some food, clothing, reading matter
and such amusements are provided
for them as they desire.
Admission-or commitment-to
the hospital for the insane is made
by the probate Judge, the application
signed by three respectable citizens,
after the examination by two physi-
clans and their announced decision
that the person is insane. The per-
son adjudged insane is taken to one
of the state hospitals where he is
treated until he regains his health
or until his insanity is pronounced
chronic. in which case he is trans
ferred to one of the county asylums
The expense of keeping an insane
person is charged up to him if he
has property. If he is not financial.
w responsible the state bears the ex.
pense, but the county from which
he is committed must pay SLIGO
week and furnish his clothing-ex
cept in the county hospitals where
the patient is resident of the coun
| ty in which the hospital or asyler
is located.

1t is frequently remarked that the
Stalwarts are making no efforts to
advance the claims of their ticket to
popular support. The campaign of
regulars has not yet begun, but it
promises to be warm enough when
it does begin. The other side has
done the talking-to cover its tracks.
But these tracks are indelible, inef-
faceable. They will be shown up
later.

Ralph asked the Birmingham wonder
what it all meant. Con pulled out an
envelope and displayed a four-leaf
clover sent on by his girl from Stag

the second game of the set.
Glover Not Always Lucky.
Glover may work in some cases. but
not all of them. What Ralph needs
most of all is a supporting company
armed with four-leaved bats built like
a propeller on a tug boat. The kind
they use now have been of little use
recently against other Fingers in the
league.
Still, the little token in his cap
helped some. In the third round, be
fore striking out, he launched a foul
over the stand that broke parlor
window in the ancestral home of Mis-
tub j. Mackay. That shot will cost
the club the price Of the window glass;
and this will partially offset the negli-
gence of the diamond custodian in
not pulling up the daisy infeld.
A dispriting feature of the first
game with the up-country horde was
the debut of Mr.. Miller who had been
so long Tourist that he had lost
his ambition to be alive. When Boyer

and took notice once more. The for

in whiting Hoffman, Ralph Orlando
passed Stinson to first. Harnish fol-
lowed with a puny single to center
and Ole Brindle wiggled to the bat
and punched a tall foul to Andy Roth.
Then it did not look so good for n
tally, and Stewart settled matters with
a sky-out to Little Billie.
Roth and TRULY both received an
ovation when they appeared in the
blue and white uniforms, and were
cheered loudly when they went to the
bat. Andy was nervous when his turn
came at the bat and whitfield. TRULY

The Rowing Race.

The rowing race, which was pulled
off as soon as the river was clear of
the contesting yachts, was one Of the
features of the day, and aroused the
greatest enthusiasm among the specta-
tors. The crews were dstinguishable
by their uniforms, Mr.. Willink's crew
wearing white. and Mr.. Jackson's
black jerseys.
The boats took their positions at n
point several hundred yards below the
Casino and the course extended from
there to an imaginary line opposite the
Yacht Club. At the crack of a pistol
the boats were off, and the race began.
