THE FIGHT ON.
Factions ST uooIe for suprem macy Over
In Wisconsin.


The following editorial comment
covering the Republican division in
Wisconsin is from the Minneapolis
Daily Times of Friday:
In the matter OF republican ortllo-
doNy the "stalwars" OF Wisconsin have
not been entirely right nor the 'half
breeds wholly wrong. Senators
Quarlcs and Spooncr are valuable
men at Washington and in many re-
spccts Mr.. La Toilette has been q
good governor.
| 1t would be waste Of space to en-
ter into the merits OF the case. how
ever, for each faction can present good
reasons why the other should be
chased down a steep place into the sea.
! If we are to believe either, the other is
full OF dcvils-but we don't fully be-
licvc.
What's the use, anyhow? They have
agreed to disagree and the only thing
to do is to let them fight it out Each
faction held state convention ycstcr-
day, nominated a state ticket and also
named delegates to Chicago. There
will be little work here for the COM
mittcc OH credentials Of the national
convention.
1t is evident there is no bright pros
poet OF reconciliation OF the factions
during the present campaign, and that
being true is it not time to place Wis
consin among the doubtful states?
That commonwealth has gone demo-
cratic in its time. George w. Peck
carried it for governor by plurality
OF $500 in 1890 and it gave its cleo
toral vote to Cleveland i'll 1892 by near
ly 1000. Again in 1906 it went demo-
cratic by nearly 10000 in the election
Of supreme court judges, but in 1896 it
gave Mckinley majority Of 1o2, 1000.
In 1900 La Toilette, chief of the
"halfbrccds," was elected governor by
a plurality of Io3,o56 and he ran less
than 5000 behind Mckinley in total
vote of over 100000 That was land
slide year, with the silver issue as a
milestone about the neck of the dcmoc
racy. We can hardly call the vote at
that time or in 1896 fair expression
of the political sentiment OF the state
under normal conditions.
The democrats seem to be fairly har-
monious They got rid OF the Hearst
question by declaring for Mr.. Wall as
the states "favoritc son." They are
in position to make the most OF the
present opportunity and unless some
remarkably cffccticv harmony" work
is done in the next few weeks political
gucsscrs will be placing Wisconsin in
the doubtful column.

HELEN kELLER's PROGRESS

The story Of Helen Keller just sradu-
ated from Radcliffe college, is SO well
known as almost to forbid repetition, but
at this moment Of her phenomenal tri-
umph over the obstacles which interviewed
to deny her the advancement she has at
tanned it may be well to recall that at
the age Of IS months she experienced an
illness which left her blind and deaf and,
therefore, dumb, for shc could not talk.
Up to her eighth year she could not speak
or hear or see at all. She is stu pnnd
and deaf. but she has been taught to talk
and has SO far acquired the faculty OF
speech ais to be able to address public as
semblages. She reads her own and other

GAIA Won Mattachich, has been con-
fined in various asylums for the insane,
made her escape last night from Elster,
had been taking the baths.
It is believed that she was carried
off by Lieutenant Won Mattachich, who
had previously made two unsuccessful
attempts to rescue her since his release
at the Watering place since Aug. II.
She was not closely watched, being &C
companied by only one attendant.
The guardians Of the princess had
been led to believe that Lieutenant

about any Of the places at which she
was staying, altho it was believed he
was in secret correspondence with her.
Lieutenant Won Mattachich was an

Prince Philip of Coburg, apparently
made no objection to the friendship Of

Of cruelty to his wife. He was noto-

companion of his mad brother-in-law,
Grown Prince Rudolph, in the orgy at
Leyerling, which eliminated in the muir

NEW KANSAS CITY-ST. LOUIS
LINE.

On the 5th of June the St. Louis,
Kansas City & Colorado Railroad
was completed and open for both
freight and passenger traffic between
St. Louis and Kansas City.
In the construction of the St.
Louis. Kansas City & Colorado r.
R., the Rock Island system, of
which it is part, has established a
new record, for not only will the
line be finished in six months less
time than was considered possible,
but what is even more important, it
is being built in a way that will re-
feet credit on all concerned. The
claim is made that from the moment
of it's completion, the St. Louis,
Kansas City & Colorado R. R. will
be recognized as superior to any
other railroad between ST. Louis
and Kansas City. Never before
has so perfect piece of new track
been built. The rails weigh SO
pounds to the yard; the bridges are
of steel; the culverts are of stone
and the track is splendidly ballasted.
Everything has been built TO last,
and although for a considerable
portion of the length the line runs
through a country which is more or
less broken, the grades are less than
those of any other railroad con-
Meeting St. Louis and Kansas City,
Zone feature of the new line which
will appeal to the travelling public is
that all trains. both east and west
bound. will stop at the main entrance
of the Worlds Fair, enabling pas
sengers from all points west of
and including Kansas City to reach
the Exposition without change of
cars or tedious transfers in St.
Louis.
Two trains day will be operated
in both directions between St. Louis
and Kansas City, and through sleep
ing car service will be established
between St. Louis and California
via ElPaso, as also between St.
Louis and Colorado. This service
will be increased and extended as
necessity demands.
