THE TxTeA sFSsIoN.

Gov LA Follette's message TO ine ex
TIA So. sion of the legislature Is one Of
the most ineaty and instructive state pa
pers ever issued TO the people Of Wis
consin La Toilette has always dealt
largely with the real facts of govern.
ment. With his face set resolntely tow.
ards the right conduct of both party pol
itics and state affairs, il was to be ex'
pected that those men and newspapers
who wanted something else should
snarl lie, plot and work against him.
But the governor is a sincere, earnest
man, too much so, indeed, to suit those
whose standard of politics means trick
cry, deceit and dishonor.
Since his election TO the senate last
winter he has very wisely deferred tax
ing his hand from the helm until he
could see the things he was working
for, well established in the conviction
of the people and the courts. He has
had right TO believe that his continued
identity with the state government was
necessary. The change that has come
in the politics and government of Wis
consin is largely due to his efforts. Only
blind devotee of stslwsrtism will deny
that
Malignant and factious opposition has
assaulted him at every step in this work
of taking the government out of the
control Of corporations and their tools,
the staiwart politicians, and putting 1t
where it belongs in the hands of the peo-
pie.
The difficulties of snch reform have
been considerably increased by an I'M
seemly scramble for the empty honors
of Office on the part of his own friends.
1t is in the mire Of such contention that
the central principles of patriotism and
right conduct Of affairs are often lost
sight of by the best OF men.
In his message the governor announces
that he will resign his Office before the
session is through and accept the sens
torship. He has shown plairly to every
fair mind that his heart is in the work
of reform here in the state. His ene-
mics accuse him Of being just as dishon-
est and hypocritical in his public life
and purpose as they have always BEEN
From their standpoint, that is fair
but the people know better
Ia the se0ste, La Toilette will set his
face toward justice to the people Just as
resolutely as he has as governor He
must be patient, for the enemies of the
people are strongly entrenched in that
body. But they begin to see judg
ment TO come. Senator after senator
will be replaced by men who will serve
the people and keep their command
ments Former Governor Hoard in JEFF
ferJon County Union.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

tude to the Interstate CONNIE. com.
mission to regulate public ser cor.
porations ia the interests of hone. ~ and
the welfare of the masses. The presi-
dent signifies his intention to have these
mstters adjusted fairly and positively
before congress shall adjourn, aud in
this be will be applauded by every pa
triotic American who believes in a
square deal for the citiz Ems, high and
low, rich and poor. OF course the poll.
teal parasites will grit their teeth and
lnwardiy curse the president, but they
will not dare to outwardly condemn the
chief executive because they are able to
read the handwriting They know the
country stands by the preside Mt they
know the public mind is set, and they
know that to disregard the plain COM
mands of the public means political sui

REPRESENTATIVES. will get in line. al.
though the corporation masters would
have them do otherwise. 1t will be left
to the house OF lords, the United States
senate, to defeat or emasculate the bene
fetal measures in such manner as to
make legislation nugatory.
This Is truly the reconstruction per.
