LaFOllette In Senate.

This newspaper long ago said,
with authority, that Mr.. LaFollette
would accept his election to the
United States senate, but the for
NAL announcement of his intention
to resign the governship and go to
Washington was not made to the
Wisconsin legislature. now in spec
ial session, until Tuesday.
Senator LaFollette' S entry Of his
new field of activity could not have
been better timed for the good effect
it will have on the cause of federal
control of railroads. Mr.. LaFollette
has made an exhaustive study of
this subject and has put his knowl-
edge to use in a law for his own
state, which the railroads. sadly
admit is the most effective measure
of governmental regulation that has
ever modified their power In the
senate the country can well look to
so stalwart champion Of the square
deal as an incorporating ana
eternally vigilant defender.
This new senator, in sheer ability
and strength, will loom up a giant
by contrast with even the car of
the senate, Aldrich, will dwarf his
broken colleague, Spooner; and we
apologize for even thinking of COM
parison of him with Platt or Depew.
Such a senator, with his congress
experience as a house contemporary
of Mckinley, 70 gag Of custom shall
choke, no rule of senatorial court
esq., bind. We look for bold and
worthy deeds from one who bursts
with La Toilette equipment upon
SO rare an opportunity.-New York

The Interview authorized b,

Superior that ''any new admin
istration candidate for governor
would practically read himself
out of the faction, . was certainly
an injudicious remark, it has
been published that tins inter
view represented the views of
the Governor. We do not believe
it. The Governor has too good
Judgment to express himself in
this manner. It is taken to
mean that this is a challenge to
COnnors and Davidson that
should they become candidates
for the Governorship, their eff
forts would be frowned upon by
the administration. Again we
say we do not believe a word of
it. Connors and Davidson and
Hatton have a perfect right to
become candidates, and there is
no doubt but that LaF'ollette will
be the last man to oppose them.
He may have his preference as
we ali have but his announce
ment Of this is improbable.

SOMEONE wants to know why
the primary election law was
not made perfect in the first
place? Yes indeed; why WASH t
it-and why wasn't the inter
state commerce law that was
enacted nearly generation ago
made perfect in the start-also
the protective tariff laws that
have been amended from time to
time. Why do the legislatures
and congress use most of their
time from year to year amend

better? Why were not all these
things made perfect in the start?

THERE are those who are now
preaching against the Santa
Claus Idea. "Tell your children
the truth that they may not grow
up to be liars" they say.
Of course they are enemies of
joy, smiles, dreams, air castles,
happiness and children. But
then what is the use of speaking
of it. Santa Claus will remain
as long as the world remains and
all the preaching of pessimists
will amount to nothing.
It is beautiful institution and
the softening, uplifting in
fuences will follow us through
life. The awakening will come
gradually and without harm.
