HOLDS HIS TOGA
La Toilette Dill Not Decide Between
Offices Until Next September
W'hiskerS'

SIOU XCITY, Iowa, July 1.-Gov-
ernor La Toilette of Wisconsin pass
ed through here recently On his way
to South Dakota to deliver Chautau-
qua lectures and took occasion to state
in response to a question, that he had
not yet decided to accept his election
to the United States senate, to which
he was elected last winer.
He declined to give for publication
the reason for his hesitation, and said
he would not decide until next Sep
TENDER.
Governor La Toilette says it would
be we'll for congress to defeat the
Esch- Townsend railroad rate bill be-
cause he regards it as a halfway meas
ure that does not reach the root of
the trouble. He considers it would
be worse to pass an ineffective bill
than none at all.

INTELLIGENCE OF PLANTS.

Hugo Sherman in an article in the
Chicago Tribune states that in some
cases plants have finer sensibilities
than mortals, and that praise and love
are real factors in plant growth. Col
onel Andraede, in an account of mis-
life in Mexico, tells an extraordinary
story of the power exercised over
two plants and the results. He chose
two Towering plants of the same kind
both in equally good health and just
bursting into generous bloom. Stand
ing near one, he put forth all his will
power bidding it obey him. He COM
manded it to develop courage and
sturdiness, to rejoice in its health and
strength. and to develop in sweetness
and beauty to the utmost of it's power.
Every day he fingered near the
plant for a considerable time, giving
it all the moral encouragement pos
sible, flattering it, coaxing it, and, in
fact, making absolute love to it. The
plant responded in the most remark
able manner to this stimulating inf1u-
ence, producing finer blossoms than
mad ever before been seen of this sort,
and sending forth, as though in graf
itude, richer, rarer perfume.
On the other plant the colonel tried
a variety of malicious mental mall
practices. He disparaged it, scolded it,
sneered at it's flowers, and was alto
gether so cruel and unkind that in
three days the barely opened blossoms
began to wither, and within a month
the plant actually withered and died.
The colonel thinks that he has the
key to the fact why plants grow bet
ter for some people than others. The
locky ones love their plants and I'M
consciously stimulate them to greater
endeavor. One farmer will look over
his cabbages and remark:
"Them's the finest cabbages in this
township"
And, the cabbages stimulated by the
praise just lift themselves out Of the
ground. On the other hand a pessi-
mistic farmer, looking at his cabbage
field, remarks gloomily:
DUN them weeds; it's pretty hard
to tell whether they are cabbages or
burdocks."
And the cabbages, discouraged and
d1sheartened, do not try to do much
and become the prey of the first cab

ROOSEVELT'S GREAT BLUNDER.

The New York World, under the
title, "Mr. Roosevelt's Morton Mis-
take" says:
After his whitewashing of Paul
Morton President Roosevelt will find
it hard to regain his old reputation for
right thinking and fearless action. A
Quay, Plat or Murphy in his place

Here is a prominent railroad official
who has frequently confessed to violat-
ing the interstate commerce laws. He
is promoted to the cabinet Further
evidence of his guilt is discovered. He
is close friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
Mr.. Roosevelt forbids his prosecution.
Better lawyers than Mr.. Roosevelt find
ample grounds for action against Mr..
Morton and other Santa Fee officials.
Their motives are known to be disin-
terested and above suspicion. But Mr..
judiciary powers, declares his friend
Mr. Morton innocent and prevents the
courts from hearing his case. The cod
ding of Loomis was an unfortunate
mistake, but the protection of Paul
Morton takes on some of the aspects
of a national scandal. In every rail-
road headquarters in the country
there will be rejoicing. To save Paul
Morton from the necessity of defend
ing himself Mr.. Roosevelt has practi-
cally issued a general amnesty to all
railroad lawbreakers. Personal guilt
is abolished. Only corporations can
sin, and for them the penalty is a
trif1ing fine. In order that Paul Nor
ton may go scot free Mr.. Roosevelt
makes a dead letter of the statute.

AND SCARLET FEVER.

The Allegheny, Pa, bureau of
health, as it is officially known, is sat-
isfied that scarlet fever cannot be sup
pressed by fumigating wniskers. There
is an epidemic of the disease there
this spring, as there was last, in spite
of the efforts of the bureau of health
in whisker fumigating. Early in the
spring a squad Of special officers, who
do the fumigating for the city, visited
the quarters where most of the be-
whiskered citizens live. Some of them
were fumigated, but the greater part
of those VINO wear whiskers violently
objected to having their fringe official
iy tempered with. You may be sur
prised that a man with zizzies of
kind that have a tendency to bring on
low barometer and atmospheric dis
turbance should be sensitive when the
board of health tries to put chloride
of lime or Paris green in them over
night; but such proved to be the case.
And the more frequent the whisker the
louder the holler put up by the grow
er. 1t is difficult to see why a man
who sports whiskers in time of pest
should object to having them vacci-
mated, but the board of health found
many obdurate ones who would not
use even whale oil soap on their dra
peries
Notwithstanding, the killing Of
germs in so many whiskers the first
year, the scarlet fever broke out on
the bureau again, and it was thought
perhaps whiskers were not gpilty after
ALL But Superintendent Mclaughlin,
of the bureau of health, still has faith
in the whiskers theory, in spite of the
fact that the disease is as bad this
year as it was last. He thinks that
the plan did not have a thorough trial
Some whiskers evidently escaped.
Why whiskers should be anxious for
folks to have scarlet fever, we do not
see. What is there in it for the
whiskers?
