The state expenses during Gov.
LaFollette's administrator of four
years have been 81, $50, 1882 more
than they were during the four
years in whichf Scofeld was COVER
nor, with three months expenses
yet to figure in. This enormous
increase can only be explained
upon the basis of a most extrava-
CANT handling of the states business.
The game warden's department. now
costs the state 100000 per year,
the months of heaviest expense
being when there is political work
to do. For instance, the expenses of
this luxury in May were 81, 942.86
and in June they were IS, 1888. 43.
Game Warden Storrs of Grant
county did $127.46 worth of look
ing after jack rabbits and suckers in
May; but in June his business fell
down to 10000. These figures are
official takenssfrom the state rec
ords.

ocrats hope to do in that state is
to reduce the Republican plurality
and they may not be able to ac-
complish that.
G.. P. Knox, the new Senator from
Pennsylvania, who made such an
efficient attorney general, recently
said that President Roosevelt is a
wonderful man; he gets to the bot
tom of things very quick" That is
really one of the reasons why some
people profess to dislike him.
It is estimated that under Republi
can policies the sum Of $3.50, 900, 900,
of the increase of gold for the last
decade has come to the United
States. The total amount of the
increase was 81, 1913, 900, 900. No
wonder the country has had an
unexampled era of prosperity, and
that the old world realizes that
America has to be reckoned with.
