The Wisconsin Session.

IfsGoverner La Toilette is really COM
mitted to the program of legislation ac-
credited to his intentions in today's dis
patch, his presence in Madison will be
needed for some time. The governor is
said to contemplate not only an invest1-
CATION of insurance companies, but the
appointment Of committee, which will
probe the Milwaukee Street Railway
company as well. ..~ -..G !
The Milwaukee Street Railway COM
pany was under the fire Of a recent
grand Jury, but the results obtained
were meager, compared with what La
Toilette hoped for. None of the high
officials of the company were touched,
and this fact saddened the governor.
He has a profound belief in the corrup-
tion Of the Milwaukee Street Railway
company. and he has many reasons in
his own political experience for holding
that belief tenaciously. It was Pfster
and the street railway company which
delayed for four years his arrival at the
governorship. 1t is Pfister who has
been his arch enemy in politics.
Governor La Toilette has also in mind
a revision of the election laws, which
will do away with straight party voting
He would have the form of ballot with
which we are familiar in Minnesota
Undoubtedly this would tend to keep
the La Toilette faction in power in Wis
conoin. After every great victory like
that won by La Toilette there comes q
reaction, and this reaction might be suf
fcient to remove him from the state
house. He can prevent such catas
trophe by making recruiting from tht
democratic party easy. This, the in
dividual ballot would do.
La Toilette has always had, and al
ways deserved, considerable democratic
support. He has stood for the people
and the people, irrespective Of party
have stood by him. The value of tht
| pure Australian ballot is that it permits
man to vote for favorite candidate
on the other ticket without sacrificing
either his party regularity or the re
mainder of his own ticket. It loosen
party allegiance and this is just wha

for public favor next week with bill
of European novelties in which the
four Lannon'S, acrobatic wonders, arg
tOp-notchers. The Lannon'S won dis
tinction in Paris, Berlin and London,
and their American tour has been trium-
phant. The brothers are superb athletes.
Another European turn which caught
the humor of Paris is that of Won Tella
and Nina, the man and woman on fly
ing rings. This act is swift. sure, grace
full and pleasing, besides being devoid
of sensational "scare' tricks. Next
comes the famous Brobst trio of Ameri-
can burlesque roller skaters, laugh
able oddity. All that is tricky, grace
full, difficult and refined in this pretty
pastinle is in the gyrations Of the
Brobsts. They are also old-time enter
tainers and have songs, monologs and
entertaining nonsense. First-class sing
ing and dancing turns will be furnished
by Mr.. and Mrs. Richards and Nettie
Fields, a charming young person, with
melodious voice and nimble heels. Other
features will be Charles S. Laird in
new illustrated songs and ballads. Ray
