Society.

AJoStSt1s
Madison Democrat: Mrs. John M. .
Parkinson OF Madison has presented
to the library OF the State Historical
society such OF the papers OF her
grandfather, the late Moses M. Strong
MS have thus far been discovered by
her at the old family home in Mineral
Point. These prove on examination
to be documents OF much historical
value, as would naturally be expected
from the literary remains of SO prom l.
nent and able a pioneer OF the state.
IL Is understood that several impor-
tant Strong papers are temporarily In
the hands of ex-President Duncan G..
McGregor Of Platteville, who has, up
on request OF the Strong heirs, prom
Used TO send them to the state hIstori-
cal library. Meanwhile, furth
search Is being made by Mrs. Parkin
son, who expects that at least some
earlier papers of much historical in
terest will yet be found to add TO the
interesting and valuable collection al
ready presented by her to the state.
Mrs, Parkinson has loaned TO the
society's museum oil portraits of Mr..
and Mrs, Strong, painted at the time

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
PARTY,

IL IL clear that the president IL
steadily driving his party to take
sides upon number Of tremendously
important issues. The president did
not originate the railway rate Issue,
but he forced his party to take IL up.
The curbing OF corporations Is not n
Republican doctrine-the Republican
party has been the party Of the cor
porations but the president has be-
come the champion Of such policy
and is forcing his party to follow him.
He ID Mt outs with almost every Re-
publican leaders. They do not like
him and never have. Erratic though
he may be, no stands for things for
which they do not They have pro-
fcssed to follow his leadership because
that was necessary for their own sue
cess. They understand only too we'll
that Mr.. Roosevelt Ii the most popu-
lar party leader In the country
Whether they like him personally or
not, whether they believe as he does or
not, they cannot ignore him, and they
fear to defy him, The president is the
big man In the Republican party and
the old.tlme party leaders are compel
led to recognize him as such. That IL

Journal.
The Presidents special message to
Congress-, based on Commissioner
Garfeld's report, WAS the poltlca
sensation of last week. 1t furnished
additional evidence that the forces o
the administration are indeed under
strenuous leadership
Up to the time that Mr., Roosevelt
ran for Governor of New York, by
and with the aid and consent of Boss
Plat, he was not considered stric
party man. He professed the party
faith, but his republicanism was not
exactly of the orthodox kind. He was
n civil service reformer; had never
bowed the knee to the Baal OF restrict.
i've tariff taxation; and was generally
a man OF independent thought and nc.
tion. As Governor and during his
first term as president he seemed con-
tent to follow along In the path OF
party precedent; but ever since he
took tho Office OF president In his own
right as the popular choice of the PEG.
pie In 1904, he has driven the wagon
at such rate MS compelled many old
Republicans wheel horses to learn new
PAGES. In some respects Mt least he
has certainly changed the policy OF
his party from conservatism to radi'
callsm; and no man can foretell the
outcome OF his remaining three years
of leadership.

particular complaint being that
whereas eastern college publications
are generally admitted to the mails
at pound rates, the privilege is denied
publications of western colleges in all

The senator put on his gum shoes

wherefores. He demanded of the
third assistant postmaster general an
explanation as to why the magazine
published at the university of Mis-

rate privilege. He was told that the
law was against him and that the
department would have to stand by
its decision. Then he began to look
up the records and made the discovery
