Defeat and Victory.

Boarding the lion in his den. That
is what Mr.. La Toilette did in the
United States Senate for five hours
last Thursday. While he lost in sense,
his victory was great. He failed in an
effort to secure ~ vote on his amend
ment to the Indian bill prohibiting rail-
roads from owning coal lands. AS now
constituted, the Senate is too strongly
represented by railroad interests. His
victory lies in the fact that the section
of the bill he sought to amend was fl
nally stricken out altogether. Techni-
cal and constitutional questions and all
manner of devices known to those skill
ed in parliamentary practice failed to
Illustrate or swerve Mr. La Toilette
from his course In commenting there
on the Chicago Record Herald says:
"There was no humiliation in the de
feat. In fact, it was really victory
for the Wisconsin Senator 1t has been
wears since the Senate has been treated
to the novelty Of having among its
members one with the boldness to as
sail corporate interests, and probably
never before has there been Senator
who has combined with the boldness
the ability which Mr.. La Toilette pos
sesses.
at was a stubborn battle Mr.. La
Toilette for five hours, single-handed,
repused the sorties made upon him
from every corner of the Senate. No
Senator had the courage to enter the
lists with him upon a test of the ques-
ton whether the railroads should own
coal mines.

How UnCie Sam Is Robbed.

81 had in my possession once the af-
fidavit Of a Chicago railroad man eX-
planning part of the mail contract game.
Once every four years the government
weighs the mail carried ON each rail
road The weighing goes on every day
for thirty days, and on the resulting av-
erage the price is made for the next
four years. The time of the weighing
is wen known to all concerned. This
witness, an agent, swore that at weigh
mo time on his road he used TO send
the old city directories, pieces OF coup
linz pins, old bolts bits of paving stone
day hy day, to the division superinten-
dent Of his road and get them all back
A slice Of grindstone, he said, made
the round trip thirteen times in the
thirty days. All the stations on his
road performed the like tricks, with
result that for the next four years Che
government paid for weight of mails
more than ten times as great as was
ever carried
"The case is well known Of western
congressman who, in the weighing
season Of the railroad that elected him,
used to frank $4,000 copies of his
speeches to st. Louis one day and back
to his home the next. Also, Of another
congressman who, at weighing time, has
caused wagon loads Of old government
reports and documents to be sent ont
under his frank.
"a few years ago a certain railroad
was charging the government sum of
$50, 600 and the American Express com
pany $50, 600 for the use Of its cars in
South Dakota. The Accommodations Civ
en- to the government and the express
company were exactly the same but
the weight hauled for the express com
pany was ten times that hauled for the
government.
''The railroad companies own the
postal cars and the express cars. They
charge the government from twice tc
four times as much for hauling posta
car SIS they charge the express com
panies for hauling an express car the
same distance, and express cars are
usually heavier.
These are mere examples, You car

do not care TO have the taxes they pay

kids anyhow, and if | do let you off
you'll go out and swipe something
again, and then III get blamed for it,
and, like as not, III get kicked out of
this court.
The consequence Of this is that Judge
Lindsey is often earnestly assured by
the boys that he needn't worry about
them getting him into trouble, an as
surance which Judge Lindsey always
receives with grave thanks.
Another impression among the boys
which Judge Lindsey does nothing to dis
pei is that the Denver police are against
the court and in favor of putting all the
boys in jail Therefore it is believed that
every time a boy on probation is caught
the 'cops" have joke on the judge.
The result is universal pride in foolng
the "cops" and staying with" the
court
An unforeseen outgroWth of this
sympathetic understanding is the vol
untary delinquent. This is boy who
comes to Judge Lindsey of his own free
will to own up to fault or vice which
he cannot overcome by himself and to
ask the judge for help There have
been nearly two hundred of these in
the past two years Often the boys
under probation bring them in, and the
judge himself is always careful to let it
be known that the court is as anxious
to help a boy who has never been ar
rested as boy who has. 1t is partly
due to this that the boys in Denver are
not ashamed of having been before
Judge Lindsey, but speak of themselves
with pride as belonging to the Juven-
lie Court. - From ''The Childrens Court

DID the u. S. Senate treat the per-
severng, struggling masses of this
country with due consideration and en-
couragement wher it voted down SEN
ator LaFollette's proposed amendment
to the Indian land sale bill, which was
in effect that no one individual on cor
poration be privileged to buy more than
5000 acres? Three thousand acres
That's a large amount of land. liberal
limit; six times as much as the happy,
prosperous farmer Of this section owns,
and even more. In fact, it would be
ample if equally divided between six
industrious ana intelligent land owners
to insure them comfort. independence
and plenty This permitting Of corpor-
ate wealth the privilege of grabbing up
land in tracts of hundreds of thousands
of acres shuts out the small buyer from
securing it at first cost, and is there
fore an injustice, a great wrong.

That indian Bin

Milwaukee journal.
Senator La Toilette has been heard
from at last on the floor of the Senate,
and neither the Senator himself, nor
the State of Wisconsin, need be asham-
ed of the work he did.
The action of the Senate upon the In
dian bill was both victory and de-
feat for Senator La Toilette. He was
defeated in that he could not bring to a
vote his amendment prohibiting rail
roads from acquiring coal lands in In
dian Territory. 1t was a victory in that
his discussion OF the question forced the
Senate to vote in favor Of prohibiting
the sale of the Indian coal and asphalt
lands until authorized by law.
1t seems fair to assume that without
Senator La Follette's earnest protest
the bill would have been passed sith a
provision giving the roads right to
acquire title TO any or all of the Indian
Territory coal lands AS result Of
his protest and arguments, this provis-
ion of the bill was stricken out and the
whole matter postponed for further
consideration.
From the reports it was apparent
that Senator La Toilette had the moral
support of the Senate; outwardly he
I had at any rate, although he could not
control the votes II was clear that
the Senators did not wish to go on rec
ord as opposing the principle for which
he was fighting.
1t is inevitable that everything Sena-
tor La Toilette does will be unduly
lauded and harshly criticised. His
friends, some of them, though perhaps
not his best friends after all, viii
praise his acts to the sky. His enc
mics, and he still has many of them,
will find nothing to approve, everything
to condemn. And, as always, the truth
will lie somewhere between the two ex-
tremes.
There seems little reason to doubt
that Senator La Follette's action IN
this case was of valuable service to
the country, particularly to the Indians,
whose cause he championed 1t was q
distinct check to corporate aggrandlse'
ment, And as such the country is like
| ~ to receive it.

Denver's Unique Boys Courf,

Judge Lindsey's method of holding
court is uneXampled. He has taken his
place among the boys as one Of them
selves. He talks to them in their own
language and makes free use Of their
slang. His method of examination is
fraternal rather than paterual He ey-
en- fosters in the boys the idea that his
own tenure Of Office depends upon lheir
good behavior.
Its just this way" he says, I'D
