Older men appeared here and there,

was an exodus to jig-time going on in

Above it all. a certain man, his face
convulsed with anger, shouted at the
crowd that there was no danger-no fire.
Hawkins shrank as his eyes fell upon his
parsonage.

We, too, made for the door, and had

This love affair. the suicide theorists

corroborative evidence.
DR.. Wentz declined TO be seen by re-

STATE FUSES WORRY
REPUBLICAN LEADERS
National Ticket Jeopardzed by Situation in Wisconsin
and IlIinois-No Hope of Peace

Conditions in Wisconsin and Illinois
are giving Republican leaders a bad
case of scare. This is especially true
Of the situation in the former State.
While there are some who are making
an effort 10 appear hopeful, others
openly concede that the outlook is ex-
tremely dark and gloomy
Speculation on results of the present
split in the party in the Badger State
run all the way from the possibility Of
the election of a Democratic governor
and State officials to the loss of the
control of the House. Republican Sen
ator, and. as an extreme possibility
the defeat of the rational ticket. In
fact. the ramificatinns are almost end
less Notwithstanding the fact that the
Wisconsin Republicans are divided oniv
upon State issues. upon Governor La
Toilette and his administration.
Generally. Republicans scout the sug-
Gestion that any injury can come to the
national ticket by reason Of the split
In support of their belief they point
TO the fact that both factions enthl-
siastically indOrse the President and
h.2 administration.

isfied and delinquent wives when
there are fewT r husbands who regard
wives in a barbarian way"
In view of this excellent statement
of an important matter, it is the more
grievOus to find The Independent"
sustaining "a superficial view in the
same article, when it declares: mo
thoughtful American can follow the
daily newsj without sorrowfully adj
hitting tn zt we are becoming indif-
ferent to these Iapses from civilized
conduct"
AS a mETtter of fact, never was there
time / n the history of the world
when thee public at large was so keen
ly alive 20 such lapses. The very at
titude of, The Independent" proves
the case against itself.
When water is boiling, the agita-
ton brilngs the impurities 20 the sur
face, whence they can be easily re-
moved by the cook with a skinner.
The water seems far fouler than it
did before the boiling took place,
while in reality the fact that this foul
ness Is coming to the surface is an
indication of the publication that is
taking place. Does not the analogy
hold I'm regard to society?
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-05-21
Logical Conclusions.

Administration leaders in Wisconsin,
however. cannot serve two masters The
time must come in the campaign when
they must ally themselves either with
the LaFollette or the SpOOner faction
in the State contest They must either
support the governor or the Senator.
II such a fight it would be almost inn
pose BILE to remain neutral At least
they must vote either for one candidate
or the other.
If they support Senator Spooner, which
they are more likely to do. as the Sena-
tor is nearer TO the national Admins
tration than IS the governor, the La
Toilette faction will probably take re-
venge on the national ticket Then, too.
as each faction is anxious to win, all
sorts of trades and combinations are
possible whereby the national ticket
would suffer.
This is one of the most serious phases
Of the situation.
The Republicans carried the State BY
10000 four years ago. but conditions
were abnormal. Half that majority is
nearer the normal Republican majority.
But for party split. that majority would
be a lead which the Democrats could
not hope to overcome.

Illinois in a Bad way.

Although the situation in Illinois is Of
a different sort il is no more encour-
aging. The Republican convention. in
session ten days and unable 20
break the deadlock on the gubernatorial
nomination. has taken a recess for ten
days In the recess an effort viii be
made by leaders TO get together.
As any such get together must mean
the denomination Of Governor Yates, the
prospects are not bright He has the
largest number of delegates apparently
glued to him, and will not give up under
any circumstances. despite the fact that
most Republicans believe he would be
the weakest candidate the party could
name.
Whatever the result Of this unusual
convention may be. it is not likely that
there will be an open bolt. There IS
certain, however. TO be much knitting
at the polls by the friends of the Un-
successful candidates.
Yates, II IS feared. would drag the
national ticket TO defeat -Four years
ago he ran nearly 1900 vores behind the
Presidential electors
