E. T. SARLEs, banker of North Da-
kota, who has been named by the repub-
icans for governor, had an experience in
Wisconsin which all but precluded the
possibility of future political honors.
When Sarles was lad Of about 10, some
80 years ago, the family resided in Mazo-
mamie, his father, Rev. Jesse D. Sarles,
occupying the Methodist pulpit there.
On the eve of the 4th of July young
Sarles, with two big black beads in his
mouth, reached upward to a shelf for
matches to set off firecrackers, when the
beads both slipped down his throat, one
passing into a lung. The boy choked
and coughed violently, but to no avail.
He was at once taken to Madison by his
alarmed parents and there subjected to
all the known methods of the day for
the removal of the obstruction, being re-
quired to hang by his knees, head down,
and treated in many other ways. But
the bead remained; and as weeks lapsed
into months the victim became emanci-
ated and his early death was accepted as
inevitable. One day the following spring,
however, as he sat beside the cradle of
his baby sister, he bent forward, exclaim-
ing Boo" to see her laugh, when away
across the room flew the mischievous
bead! Quick convalescence followed;
but to this day the future governor of
North Dakota exhibits with grusome
satisfaction the bead that so nearly
killed him.

HALFBREED leaders are very much
worried over the campaign which is be-
ing made by M. G. Jeffris in the state,
and although pretending not to have
intentions of answering the speech, they
are making a campaign of innuendoes to
weaken it's force. The fact that there
can be no denial of the charges which
Mr.. Jeffris is making from the stump,
because they are true, is what is worry
ing the halfbreed leaders. The ability
which is being shown by Mr.. Jetfris in
handling the facts is not to their liking
either Private Secretary Hannah is
quoted as saying the governor has not
read the speech and that he will make
no answer to the charges. The reason
the governor will probably make no an
swer to the charges is that the indict-
ment of him is formed of facts which are
practically now public records and can
not be got away from in any manner.

MCCLURE's MAGAZINE for October con-
tains an article from the pen of Lincoln
Steffens, written under the inspiration
of Robert M. LaFollette and Isaac
Stephenson, concerning affairs political
in the state of Wisconsin. AS might be
imagined from the source of the infor-
nation the article is wholly one-sided,
and prejudicial to the point of bitterness.
Mr.. Steffens has gained some reputation
the past year or two as result of SINH
lar articles; but if his facts were no bet
ter than those he uses in his Wisconsin
write-up the readers of McClure's have
been grossly imposed upon. Mr.. Stetfens
did come to Wisconsin to look over the
ground, but he positively refused to ex-
anime any of the documentary or other
proof relating to the corruption existing
under the administration of LaFollette.
AS matter of fact it is we'll understood
that the engagement was between La
Toilette and the magazine for a favor

Mr., Cooks Statement.

In a signed statement Samue. A.
Cook, republican candidate for governor,
has made announcement Of his intention
to retire as candidate and abide by the
decision of the supreme court in event
it shall decide that Gov La Toilette and
his associate candidates are entitled to
have their names placed in the republi-
can column on the official ballot.
Mr.. Cook rises superior to technlcality
and legal right and takes the high
ground that good citizenship requires
obedience to the mandates of the courts.
To continue in the field as a candidate
in the face of decision of the court
that would deny to him the privilege of
appearing as the regularly chosen candi-
date of his party, Mr.. Cook holds, would
be in defiance of the spirit of its man
date, calculated to bring the judiciary
into conte npt aud weaken it as an insti-
tuition.
Mr. Cooks position is in striking con-
trast with the attitude taken by Gov.
La Toilette, who contemptuously houts
the authority of the court and announces
his determination to pay, no heed to its
decision. II it shall find that he is not
the regularly nominated candidate of
the republican party and is not entitled
to the privilege of appearing as it's can
didate, it is his announced purpose to
continue in the field as an independent
candidate, asserting that he has been
denied his rights through fraud and
technically and in right is deserving
the support of his party as it's candidate.
The attitude of Gov. La Toilette is es-
,sentially IN defiance of the judiciary. In
advance, he has undertaken to weaken
its authority and bring the supreme
courts decision into disrespect by fout-
ing it as Of no consequence, as the deter
mination of a mere technicality, placing
no obligation upon the contesting candi-
dates to respect the spirit of it's decree
Mr.. La Follette's attitude toward the
supreme court is in harmony with the
position he has taken since he first set
out to seize control of the republican
state convention. He has disregarded
all authority.
The courts appealed to, he fouts their
decisions before they are made and pro
claims his purpose to pay no heed tC
them, other than to observe their letter
which may be enforced, while disregard
ing their spirit. This is the essence Of
anarchy, the spirit of mob law, which
places at defiance all restraints imposed
by organized society through the instru
mentality of it's laws and institution:
and proclaims the Individual the SUI
preme arbiter OF mis- relations to his fel
low men.-MilWaukee News.

THE sanity halo which Mr.. Steiins
throws around Uncle Ike Stephenson is
the funny part of the whole story. LII he
was half as anxious to tell how much
it cost him in campaign for the senate
that didn't win, as he was to tell how
much money he spent in other peoples
political welfare, he would supply some
interesting data. Uncle Ike's barrel
in politics is matter of history too long
to be told in a magazine article.

II want to tell you cat story (the
truth of which know. that you may
use in your little magazine. Mrs. r.
had a cat, dog and a canary bird, all
III which were content, and more, in
the care and love of gentle heart.
The cat. Kitty, was very fond Of the
bird, and would sit beneath the cage
and listen to the singing with every
evidence Of pleasure and pride. Two
years ago last summer Mrs. r. was
In her rear yard with her flowers
when Kitty came running to her, new
Ing loudly, and then ran back toward
the house, repeating her dumb efforts.
Finally, Mrs. r. said, well, Kitty. III
come in and see what is the trouble
ts she passed in the door strange
cat ran out. The cage was ON the
floor, and the bird was dead. And
COW for the real heart of the story,
FOR the veracity of which Lean vouch.
The empty cage was rehung in the
window; Kitty came and stood be-
aeath the cage. looking up and new
Ing. For two days she stood. then she
lay down; she refused food; delica-
cles that once she had enjoyed she
did not notice. On the morning Of
the fourth day after the bird had died
Kitty was found dead beneath the
empty cage. She had loved the bird,
and she could not live on without it.
