Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 14.-News has
reached here of another wholesale
drowning accident to survey party in
the Lake of the Woods district, yester-
day morning. This is practically repe-
tition of a similar horror which over
took Major Sankey's party on the same

Larenson, being a powerful swimmer,
struck for the shore, Followed by Moffat,
but the latter found he could not make
it, and turned back to the canoe. Por'

craft overturning. Brown was pulled
on to the back Of the canoe by Moffat
but when only one hundred feet, from
shore, he fell off again and sank and
was not seen again. 49,.

The Victory for Popular Government
In WISCOHin.

Arena Magazine for January
Probably the most signal victory
for the principles OF popular govern
ment that occurred In the November
election was the triumphant ratifica,
ton by the people of Wisconsin OF
the radical and democratic primary
election law. This wholesome meas
ure, it will be remembered, was OPP
posed by the recreant and discrcdi"
table democratic party Of the Bad
ger state, as it was also opposed by
the so.called stalwarts or corporation
Republicans, headed by Senator
Spooner. 1t was aggressively fought
oy the public service corporations
and other privileged interests which
are in the habit OF depending on par
tisan machines, political rings and
the bosses Of the party for the nomi-
nation OF their men and the passing
Of measures that will enable them
to acquire millions Of dollars as the
fruits OF the franchises and privileges,
in return for courtesies. campaign
contributions and other forms of
bribery.
Gov. LaFollette led the people
against this formidable opposition
an opposition that we believe would
have been invincible few years
ago but the people are beginning to
awaken, and in Gov. LaFollette they
have found brave leader and an in
corruptible statesman loyal to the
interest of the people. Hence they
rallied around him exactly as the
masses rallied around Thomas JEFF
ferson in the olden times when the
Hamilton party OF privilege sought
to exalt wealth and privilege at the
expense of the people.
The new primary law is, we believe,
the most radical and essentially
democratic measure Of the Kind that
has been enacted. 1t sweeps away
the old nominating convention that
has made our elections in recent years
such IA shameful farce, because
through the union of corporate
wealth and party bosses the incor-
ruptible statesmen and loyal cham
pions Of the people have been thrust
aside for the protegees of public ser
vice corporations or the willing tools
OF party bosses. Presumably this
will in effect secure the election of
United States Senators from the
commonwealth by the popular vote,
as it is hardly probable that the leg
islators will defy the popular man
date; and pending the securing of Il
mandatory national provision for the
measure, is probably the best stntu-
tory enactment that could be made.
Therefore the passing of this law J., IA
great popular triumph quite apart
from the splendid victory of Gov.
La Toilette.

The Railroad Question In Wisconsin,

Milwaukee journal:
The railroads are business corpor-
ations, like other business concerns.
But they are more; they are inti-
mately connected, limited in part
nership. as it were with the public.
This relation arises out of the ser
vices rendered and more out o the
concessions which the state has
business at all. These corporations
are permanent; they do not change
through death and inheritance; they
are not subject to division or disso-
luton of partnership. They live
through generations without materi-
al change in purpose or place. They
depend on the communities in which
they operate for their support with
out regard to the personnel in their
control or ownership. 1t then well
becomes them to look ahead. They
can look to future with certainty.
Certain differences have arisen be-
tween the public and the roads. The
public feels that it has not received
due consideration in the business of
| the roads. 1t may or may not be mis-
| taken; but the feeling is there. How
| do the roads meet il? Have they
been, are they open, frank, honest
and patriotic in their attempts to
adjust these differences? The recent
| elections have shown the sentiment
OF the republic; they have shown
that the roads are 10 be called upon
in various ways TO make answer and
to adjust the largest differences.
1t appears To be a time when the
roads should meet the situation
squarely, lest wrongs be done through
mutual Ignorance OF the exact situ-
alton or excited prejudice. The
course aud practices of these roads
has not been exactly such as TO com
mand ut once the confidence of the
public. They must expect at first and
for some time a lingering suspicion
of their representations. But why
should they not change their charac-
tel ANA methods, take the public in
to full confidence aud lend their aid
openly, honestly and fully, to a SEN
timent of these differences? Then
the sentiment will be permanent and
satisfactory. Otherwise the friction

These railroad corporations should
