The Path of Peace.

A half-breed organ which is sup
posed to know what it is talking
about, announces in effect that the
only path to peace is through a
third term for Gov. La Toilette.
This announcement seems to be def
mite enough for all practical pur-
poses, and amply justifies the asser-
ton made by us few weeks ago
that the only basis upon which the
La Toilette people desire party har-
mony is the complete humiliation of
the stalwart element as factor in
Wisconsin politics. Those who
constitute what is termed the crank
and file" of the party now have an
excellent opportunity to do their
party valuable service by uniting in
determined effort to secure the
nomination of a non-factional candi-
date for governor. In the face of an
apparently fixed determination on
the part of La Toilette to wreck the
Republican party in this state if he
cannot rule it, conservative Repub-
licans in both factions may as well
recognize the fact that the party has
reached a critical period in its his
tory in Wisconsin. This crisis
should be carefully studied and
squarely met.

The Gar of Russia never ruled
his subjects with power more alb
solute than that exercised by La
Toilette over his active supporters.
Whenever he wants the Republican
State Central Committee to sneeze
he takes pinch of snuff, and that
does the business. 1t is his imperial
will that candidates for state offices
shall be nominated by the conven-
ton which chooses delegates to the
Republican National convention.
In accordance with this decree, Gen.
Bryant, chairman of the committee,
has issued the edict that but one con-
vention will be held. This is a pro-
posed innovation which should be
stoutly resisted. 1t has heretofore
been the unvarying custom in Presi-
dental years to hold a second con-
vention for the nomination of state
officers, and no reasonable excuse
can be given for ignoring this Gus
tom the present year. On the con-
trary, special reason for observing
this custom is furnished in the COM
plicated condition of state politics
which should not become mixed up
with national affairs.
Two years ago the State Central
Committee, in defiance of precedent,
decided who should sit in the state
convention. This is an unwarrant-
ed usurpation of power which should
be wrested from it by the next con-
vention. But, like the one-conven-
ton plan for this year, it was La
Toilette decree and had to be obey
ed.
The Republican State Central
Committee as at present constituted
is servile instrument in the hands
of La Toilette. We will not refer
to the committee as part of the La
Toilette machine. 1t is not. La
Toilette himself is the entire La
Toilette machine-the whole thing.
The committee, and other subordi-
mates, are merely appliances used by
this one-man power known as the
La Toilette machine, to perpetuate
itself.
Let the Republicans of Wisconsin
give the La Toilette machine a great
jar by electing delegates to the early
state convention who will them
selves pass upon the eligibility of its
members, choose the delegates to
the national convention, and then
looking the State Central Committee
straight in the eye, adjourn the con-

Campaign Ammunition.

In case of an emergency there is
nothing like having good cam.
paign ammunition and lots of it.
So thought the La Toilette admins
tration when it sent forth the mes
sage, "No state tax levy this year"
This was gratifying news to the
tax payers and was designed to in
huence them to continue in power
an administration that could make
so creditable showing. In its ca
gerness TO fool the people into the
belief that it is running the state
government without the assistance
of the tax payers, the existing regime
has over-reached itself. This pre-
tense is sham which will prove a
boomerang destined to bring re-
proach upon the administration, and
to be a source of embarrassment to
the party.
Inferentially, the foundation for
the claim that no state tax levy was
necessary, is the close economy prac-
ticed by the La Toilette administra-
ton. The real foundation upon
which such claim rests, however, is
the 'misapplication by the La Fol
lette outfit, of the sum of four hun
dred and fifty eight thousand dollars
rightfully belonging to the trust
funds. In effect, the administration
has borrowed the large sum above
named, at seven per cent interest, to
avoid a tax levy which the law re-
quired it to make. The above sum
represents an Indebtedness over four
and one half times as great as the
constitution permits the state to in
cur, and yet it is manipulated by
the State House push with the cool
ness of street urchin "blowing in"
nickel.
This method Of fnanciering does
not commend the La Toilette admin
istration to the favorable considera-
ton of the people. While trying to
make the people believe that it has
generously shielded them from the
payment of state tax, the admins
tration has practically borrowed
nearly half million of dollars for
current expenses, which they will
later on be taxed to pay, with seven
per cent interest added.
The Republicans of Wisconsin,
both half breed and stalwart, should
decline to be humbugged by such a
transparent fake. The object of the
transaction was not to save money
to the tax payers, but to create cam
paign ammunition for the use of the
present state officials in an attempt
to secure a denomination. For this
ammunition the tax payers will pay
in increased state tax levies which
succeeding administrations will be
compelled to make because of the
failure of the La Toilette admins
tration to make state tax levy for
the current year. The trick of Dor
rowing money for the payment of
current expenses, that a state tax
levy may be avoided, and then pos
ing as a reform administration, is too
clumsy to be considered clever.

The chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee desires a
list of fair minded Democrats. If it
is his purpose to try to get fair
minded Democrats to help run the
Republican primaries in the interest
of La Toilette, he will come to grief.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Prognant
with significance is the statement
made by the president that he would
not be a candidate for another term.
especially when considered in con-
nection with his promise of IA square
deal. no more. no less" to every
body. which he made last Friday
night in his reply to Judge Parker's
charges. By these assurances Mr..
Roosevelt means to have II known
that he will show no favoritism in
the execution of the laws. and that
he proposes to be absolutely just. fair
and honest in his course OF conduct
during the four years beginning
March a. 1905, He will start in un-
hampered by unfortunate pledges
and obligations. and will consider al
ways the welfare and glory Of his
common duty in all his acts
Within the next thirty days the
people of the United States will gain
clear idea OF what the bureau OF
corporations has been doing for the
last twenty months. Instead of
worming out the secrets of the
trusts for the purpose OF levying po-
litical blackmail. as Judge Parker
unfortunately alleged, this division
Of the department OF commerce has
been gathering data which will show
clearly just where the antitrust laws
may be applied with profit to the
commonwealth. Commissioner of
Corporations Garfield will soon make
a report on this subject to the presi-
dent. and Mr.. Roosevelt will make
such use of the Information IL con
tains as will result in correcting ma
NY palpable evils.
Trusts to BE Regulated.
wherever corporations. big or lit
tie. are disregarding the laws deter
mined steps will be taken to compel
them to correct them in no uncer-
tain manner. The trusts will be reg
ulated and no pressure from the a.
nancial interests will be tolerated.
The supremacy Of the law will be
emphasized wherever it is circum-
vented and this applies not only 20
trusts. but 10 Other ORGANIZATIONS.

ROOSEVELT TO BEGIN

lieves in the open shop" principle,

are concerned. It will be enforced
without fear or favor.
Theodore Roosevelt Is ambitious
to make his administration one ofthe

laudable aim.
