sc owardly Conce ssions."

Ellis B. Usher, correspondent of
the Milwaukee Journal, discussing
the half breed crusade against Con-
gresham Babcock in the third dis
trict, gives his estimate of Gov. La
Toilette in the premises, together
with some pretty judicious structures
upon the stalwarts:
"Such a demonstration is not COM
plimentary either to the intelligence
or the popular strength of the gov
ernor and his lieutenants. Wise
men do not gratuitously offer them
selves as a sacrifice upon the altar of
the impossible. A good con-
sistent fight with something or some
body worth standing for would
route La Toilette, horse, foot and
dragons. His successes have nearly
all been cowardly concessions from
his opponents. He is not big man
or he would not be out trying to
lift things that are nailed down and
the nails clinched on the other side.
His best kick has been in the cring-
ing weakness of his foes"
In the above statements of Mr..
Usher, that ala Follette's successes
have nearly all been cowardly con-
cessions from his opponents, and his
best kick has been in the cringing
weakness of his foes," is found a
pretty accurate estimate of the sit a-
ton. 1t was like the man with a
nagging woman. The only assur-
ance of even temporary peace was
to retire from the arena. The Re-
publican leaders who had control of
the machinery and the party policy
had been SO exasperatingly harrassed
by the continued fault-finding of La
Toilette and his following for years
the incumbent officials SO unjustly
accused of ineficiency, that four
wears ago a truce with this faction
was agreed upon, La Toilette pro-
claiming that he could bring in
the millenium-or pandemonium.

The county supervisors Of assess
ment met with the tax commission
at Madison last week. The burden
of discussion was upon the necessity
of getting property assessed at its
real value and of securing the listing
of personal property. A uniformity
in the assessing of value should be
aimed atone county with another
and one piece of property with
others of the same kind. 1t was re-
marked that in the equalization of
assessment for state tax purposes the
commission was not wholly depend
ent upon the list made by the super
visors and that only 8 per cent of the
whole burden of tax went to the
states credit.

History Repeating Itself.

Twenty-nine years ago the Demo
Gratis were giving the people of
Wisconsin an alleged distinctively
reform administration. To-day, the
Republicans are doing the same
thing. Twenty-nine years ago the
Democratic reform administration
claimed to be saving the people five
hundred dollars day by the prac-
tice of an economy which proved to
be very striking. To-day the Re-
publicans claim to be saving the
people big money 80 amount not

capable and worthy men to attain 1T
is certainly commendable. We do
not, however, share in the tradition
al belief apparently retained by some
people that when any man ascends
the gubernator;al throne he thereby
excludes himself from the RESPONSE
bilities and liabilities of practical
everyday life. If he faithfully and
efficiently performs the duties of his
office, and conducts himself properly
he should, and would, receive the
homage due him as an occupant OF
such position. If, on the other hand,
he proves unfaithful to his trust,
prostitutes his position for the pur-
pose of prolonging his lease of
power, and in a general way resorts
to questionable methods which
would make political ward-heeler
blush, he is entitled to and should
receive no more respect or consider
alton than would be accorded one of
more humble rank guilty of like
ofenses. This resentment may not
be strictly orthodox, but it seems
practical.

Without posing as first-class
hypocrite reformer La Toilette is
giving the people few striking
illustrations of hypocrisy. He was
an earnest champion Of the anti-pass
reform, though that measure was a
part of the constitution when he as
cended the throne. It has been
conclusively shown, and admitted,
that during the year 1903 his first
assistant attorney general, in direct
violation of both the statute and the
constitution, made use of railway
pass. The same charge has been
made against the second assistant
attorney general, who makes no at
tempt to deny the charge. La Fol
lette not only refrains from prosecu-
ting these officials as the law directs,
but permits them to remain in office.
The administration chorus, headed
by La Toilette, was crying out loud
ly against railway corporations as a
standing menace to the liberties of
the people, while one paid railway
attorney was drawing salary from
the state treasury as first assistant
attorney general. and while another
paid railway attorney was drawing
salary from the state treasury as
second assistant attorney general.
And to "cap the climax" this anti
corporation chorus is now support
ing a railway attorney for Associate
Justice of the Supreme court. Is it
any wonder that the people are los
ing confidence in such contradic-
tory element of alleged reform?

stated-by the practice Of an econo-
my that will doubtless prove equal
ly striking. Twenty-Five years ago
the Democrats were borrowing
money with which to prop up their
sham claim of economy. To-day
the Republicans are doing the same
thing. Twenty-Five years ago the
Republican press of Wisconsin was
frantic over the "reeking corruption
and base rascality'" of Democratic
reform administration. Soon the
Democratic press Of Wisconsin will
be busily engaged in exposing the
humbugs of a Republican reform
administration in a way that will
make honest Republicans blush.
After the Democratic champion re-
former had been pushed out Of bust
ness twenty-nine years ago, an Gao
count of stock" was taken, and sue
ceeding administrations were COM
PEELED to make state tax levies to
make good the havoc wrought by
an overdose of reform. After the
champion Republican reformer of
to-day shall have retired from the
reform arena, future state admins
trations will be compelled to make
state tax levies that will prove an
unpleasing though comprehensive
tribute to the memory of spasm of
reform that was purely imaginary.

IF there is any one thing upon
this earth in which the La Fo llette
administration takes greater pride
than it does in anything else, it is
the bitterness of its hostility to cor
porations. And yet, the admins
tration is supporting a Wisconsin
Central railway attorney for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme court,
in opposition to Hon. L. K. Luse.
That kind of a combination would
seriously jar the gearing in anything
except the La Toilette machine.

Though the attorney general was
unable to discover anything illegal
in the use of railway pass by the as
sistant attorney general, he had the
moral courage to question the pro-
priety of the use of such pass by the
assistant attorney general. "Pro-
priety," is good. Now that the at
torney general has given his opinion
upon this pass, many will wonder
why the constitution does not mean
what it says in prohibiting the use
of passes by officials.

Destruction of Sennacherib's Army.

The Assyrian came down like wolf on
the fold,
And his cohorts We're cleaning in pur-
pie and gold.
And the sheen of their spears was like
stars on the sea,
When the blue waves roll nightly OH
deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when sum-
mer is green
That host with its banners at sunset
was seen;
Like the leaves of the forest when au-
tumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered
And strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his wing
on the blast
And breathed in the face Of the foe as
he passed;
And the eyes OF the sleepers waxed
And their hearts but once heaved and
forever grew Still.
And there lay the steed with his nos
trl all wide,
But thro' it there rolled not the breath
of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white
on the turf,
And cold as the spray of the rock beat
ing surf.
And there lay the rider. distorted and
pale,
With the dew on his brow and the rust
on his mail,
And the tents were all silent, the ban
nerS alone.
The lances unified, the trumpet un-
blown.
And the widows of Ashllr are loud in
their wall
And the idols are broke in the temple
of Baal;
And the might of the Gentle, unsmote
by the sword.
Hath melted like snow in the glance of
the Lord.
