ARGUE BADGER FIGHT.
Attorneys Before Supreme Court in
LaFolletto Case.


Madison. Wis., Sept. 15.-The SUI
preme court yesterday in the contest
over the regularity of the republican
state ticket decided to admit the
amended complaint of the stalwarts
The complaint recites the action OF
the old committee on Monday in certl-
flying the LaFolette ticket and denies
It's right to meet and decide which
convention was legal after 1T had been
out of existence two months.
Both sides were represented by
counsel and the arguments were con-
tinued today. An early decision is ex-
pected.
The first proceeding was the filing
OF the amended complaint. Attorney
Chenoweth for the LaFollette ticket
objected to this, but was overruled
The attorney contended that the state
central committee is the only legal
authority to decide which is the regu-
lar ticket; that this body was created
thru an act of legislature, and that its
decision should be final. The answer
or the LnFollette faction attacks the
national committee. the credentials

ton itself.
In reply to Judge Dodge, Attorney
DIN said the compliments did not hold
that the conventions were legally CALI
ed, but that there was split, each
faction claiming to be the regular con-
vention. The attorney said the con-
test Is which set Of names shall the

Immediately preceding the last pri-
mary election, held u week ago last
Saturday, Governor Davis, driving a
yoke of spotted oxen, reached the met
ropols of one Of the hill counties. He
went into the hotel and there found a
letter from his wife at the executive
mansion in Little Rock. He was still
reading the letter when party of his
"red neck" constituents came into his
hotel office to greet him. Hello. Zach"
said the hearty governor grasping the
outseretched hand of the first man in
the party. "How's the folks?" "They

lighted red neck" "How's your

half a dozen footpaas or brigands it is
a different matter. The United States
Immediately makes earnest inquiry as
to the nature of the police protection
which obtains in the offending region.
The consul who is stationed nearest
the scene of the outrage is notified to
spare no effort to get at the bottom OF
the matter.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of securing redress from the Turk
ish government is the difficulty OF
bringing the matter in question to the
personal attention of the sultan. The
representative from the United States
to Turkey is not accredited with full
ambassadOrial dignity, and that fact
has given the sultan an opportunity to
decline to meet him personally except
on occasions of state. One of the recent
American ministers, Oscar S. Straus.
was not at all discounted by Ottoman
court etiquette. At the time of Agui-
naldo's uprising in the Philippines he
determined to secure the sultan's In
duence over his fellow Mohammedans
in behalf Of the United States. Early
one morning he went to the palace and
demanded an interview with the Turk
ish monarch. His persistence was met
with the polite assurance that he was
asking for something which could not
be granted Finally, however, he was
admitted into the august presence and
at once proceeded to business.
But" cried the astonished potentate,
won't your country take away their
religion? They are devout followers OF
the prophet"
Mr.. Straus drew from his pocket a
copy of the treaty made by Washing
toms administration with the hey OF
Tunis in which 1t was stipulated that
religion should not form any part OF
the understanding. Before he left the
palace Mr.. Straus convinced the sultan
tat it was to his interest to accede to
the United States governments wish
es. The sultan telegraphed TO one OF
the Philippine leaders who happened to
be in Mecca. and the Mohammedans at
once ranged themselves on the side OF
the United States

EccENTRIclTIEs IN PAINT.

Few people know that the captain OF
any British warship is responsible Tor
the cost Of the paint that periodically
goes upon the hull Of such vessel, this
representing some hundreds Of pounds
for each painting.
A story has lately been told Of one
captain of an eccentric, irascibie kind
who so far resented this system that
he insisted or one occasion when his
admiral was expected in painting one
side Of the vessel blue and white and
the other side red and yellow, contend
ing that he was quite at liberty to- ex-
ercise his own taste in times Of peace.
But this story is nothing as compared
with one Of similar kind, but an abb
solutely true one-the facts coming to-
light year or two ago during. a law
suit-concerning the tenant Of q west
end mansion who considered that he
had been tricked in the tenancy agree
ment he had entered into and by which
he was to be responsible for painting
the whole of the outside Of the house
every two years.
When the time came for the. first Of
these periodical paintings the tenant

all the adjacent fashionable dwellings,
but the latter was memorable. Never
mind; / can paint the place according
to my own taste, even by the agree
ment," said the tenant. And he gave
such directions to the decorating firm
which he employed that In few days
the whole of the exterior Of his house
appeared Of bright sky blue relieved
profusely with huge spots and cubes
of red, yellow, green, and so on. the ef-
feet being maddeningly grotesque. The
fashionable neighbors were up in arms.
but it was only after a protracted law
suit that sober colorS were again
adopted.
Near Leeds. England, was an old
fashioned house that was occupied IN
his old age by retired scenic artist.
The whole Of the exterior OF this house
was until the death OF its tenant. very
few years ago. covered with vivid the
atrical landscapes painted sin colors.
The house was show place for cyclists
and others for years, and the land
scapes and seascapes were periodically
changed and repaipted.

Gee, it must be admitted that it has
Ilown little disposition to show intol-
rance for the creeds of it's composite
population 1t is true that the domi-
amt religion of Turkey, in a sense the
tate religion, loses no opportunity to
show it's disrespect for Christianity as
a whole but it is doubtful that any OF
the more recent prosecutions of provin-
cial nonsubscribers to Moslem teach
ings have had strictly religious ORR
gin. Racial prejudices, sectarian jeal-
ousies and the remoteness of the prov
inces from the home government. cou-
pied with the VIGOROUSLY inadequate
measures for preserving the peace OF
the empire, have all played their re-
spective parts.
With the growth of the foreign mis-
sionary movement the official corre-
spondence between the state depart
,nent of this country and the sublime
porte has assumed rather extensive
proportions. According to the testi-
nony of one of the clerks in the bureau
Of archives and indexes. which has
charge of all correspondence of the
state department excepting that of am
bassadors and ministers, about half OF
the letters which are opened in that
office come either from missionaries
who desire to make complaints, consuls
who are reporting a. case of outrage
against missionary or from the sec
retaries of home societies making COM
p,aint that some injustice has been done
one of their members. In order to Sc
cure the departments attention it is
necessary to present some actual and
we'll authenticated cause Of complaint.
To be entitled to investigation an al
legged outrage must be suftie1entlx> fla :
grant and susceptible of pre-. ~
sure some return for the time, u ie
and expense to which the state depart
ment will be put in securing redress.
In nine cases out Of ten the protests
are passed over in silence by the de-
part1nent, and the matter comes te an
end. The mere fact that United
states missionary has been robbed Of a
few dollars by an irreverent Turk Is not
regarded as casus belli. IT the rev.

New York, and at congressional heau-

long endure. Even the pressing ex-
igencies of great national campaign

factions are represented, from Belmont

The democratic press of the east ~

manding that the tariff be made the
chief issue. another part wants the
Philippines dropped, and still another
part wants Judge Parker to come out
of hiding and make personal canvass
OF the great political centers of the
east. An of these newspapers agree In

is almost certain that these discordant
forces will break over the restraints to

which always characterizes its last
stages. In the meantime, the letter OF
acceptance of Judge Parker will be
published. From that letter, and from
President Roosevelt's made public last
Monday, the campaign will take on it's

President Roosevelt has been Of

Americans who are for any reason in
the sultan's domains and for the
schools and religious establishments
founded and maintained by American
missionary societies concessions SINH
lar to those which have long been en-
joyed by the citizens of other countries.
Most European nations have been in
possession of treaty privileges inyoly-
ing protection for their transplanted
educational and religious enterprises.
and there has never been any well de-
fined reason why Americans should be
deharred. At Washington the oriental
policy of procrastination is given full
credit for the tediousness and freauent
disappointment which have marked
American negotiation with the sublime
porte. 1t is not believed that the sui
tan's hesitation has been inspired by
any deeper sentiment.
When a somewhat speedy decision
became inevitable and Admiral Jew
ellis ships were actually about to make
a demonstration in the harbor of the
suItans goodly city of Smyrna, the
center of trade in the Levant, the Turk
ish authorities woke from their leth-
argy and manifested some little inge-
nuity in preparing their case. They de-
clared that all of the $50 or 400 schools
for which concessions We're demanded
did not come within the definition of
educational institutions. They would
have been glad to discuss the merits of
each individual case. That of course,
would have consumed much time,
which. from AN oriental standpoint, is
the province of diplomacy. Minister
Leishnan's fflmness, re-eIforced by his
