Hughes Wa a Precoclous Bov.


One of the first and most significant
things I discovered about Charles z.
Hughes was that he has a very spon-
taneous and rather boyish laugh-a
laugh impelled by so strong a sense of
humor that now and then he feels
obliged to rein it in. Standing, most of
the time, with his back to the CRATE
fire, he gave me a glimpse of the long
succession of his days Of work. I saw
first a frail and puny boy of eight re-
ceiving, among his presents on Christ
mas morning, a copy of the Bible, print
ed in Greek and the same boy, after
breakfast, porting over its pages. Mr..
Hughes laughed when he told me this,
and asked me not to consider the child
a little prig. He assured me that he
was not much of Greek scholar at the
age of eight, and had no overweening
fondness for the classics It was only

or to indulge in the romping play of
other children, his father, a Baptist

Candidate Kinney.

Assemblyman O. G. Kinney, who is a
candidate for Member Of Congress to
succeed Hon. J. j. Jenkins, needs no
introduction to the people of Dunn
County, nor to many of the other coun-
ties of the district. Mr.. Kinney has al
ways taken deep interest in the affairs
of state, and has been almost contin-
uously in public service for many years.
In 1902 he was elected Member of AS
sembly from Dunn County, and re-elect-
ed in 1904. He is a man of sterling
character, and in public life has shown
marked ability and farsightedness as a
legislator. Mr.. Kidney has always
been in close touch with the masses and
knows their needs: and, if elected to
Congress, the people will have in him a
faithful servant and an able, conscien-
tious representative. -Colfax Messeng-

Will It Be Congressman Kinney

Will It Be Congressman Kinney
While Congressman Jenkins is max
ing laws down in Washington Assembly
man Kinney is making politics in the
Eleventh Congressional district.
In letter to the News Mr.. Kinney
says that the chances for his nomination
look good. He has been over much of
the district and has encountered that
friendly feeling that the poet says
''makes us wondrous kind. - Whether
he is deceived by the appearances of
things, or is being received by genuine
open heartedness by the people remains
to be determined. 1t is the unknown
quantity of the situation.
Mr. Kinney is not an Irishman, as the
name, minus the Ole G. which constitu-
tes it's handle, might imply. He is one
of those hard-headed Scandinavian
Americans who make good citizens,
good businessmen, and by the same to-
ken good politicians.
AS we understand the case, if Mr..
Kinney should be chosen to go to Wash
ington in place of Mr. Jenkins, he would
do in the house what La Toilette does
in the senate. He might not be a fol-
lower of the senator in all things 1--WE
are not qualified to speak for him) but
from his record in the assembly, it is
fair to assume that as congressman he
would be co-worker of La Toilette.
Mr.. Kinney should come over to Rusk
county and show the people what he is
like.
From single meeting the News re-
members him, as we have said, as a
practical, earnest. bright, and capable
American that's, you know
he is a Norwegian by the Ole, and
American by his looks.
To be serious, what we all want in
congtess is man who, first, is right
and, second, who is always found on the
right side.
Mr.. Kinney is not making noise
and whether or not he is making head
way we are not in position to say.

The State Campaign

Lie 0GdIS
There are three active candidates for
governor.
Mr.. Davidson, now governor, wants
to be reelected; Senator McGillivrey
aspires to promotion and Speaker Len
root wants to be chief executive.
Governor Davidson has come out on
the proposition that the legislation of
the past few years is all right and
should be continued intact.
Senator McGillivray argues for peace
among the factions prevailing in the
past and offers his candidacy as a
means Of unity in the party. He
claims to have been .'pushing on the
wheel" during the last eight or ten
years in the passage of the legislation
that has divided the party and comes
in for claims as champion thereof
Speaker Lenroot is a progressivist
of progressivists. He has worked day
in and out for the passage of such
measures as the railway rate bill, the
primary election law, and others meas
ures and goes on now proposing further
laws for the control of insurance COM
panies and other corporations and has
suggested the adoption of a measure
under which representatives may be
recalled who disappoint their constitu-
ents.
1t is a notable feature of the sit
uation that the newspapers are divided
on the old lines. The papers that have
opposed La Toilette and what they
have called La Follettism are now
supporting Davidson. while those pa
pers that in the past have supported
La Toilette are now nearly all backing
Lenroot.
The people of the state will doubtless
divide practically on the old lines, with
the La Toilette forces backing Lenroot
and the stalwarts supporting Davidson.
There will probably be considerable
of an element who will break away
from this general proposition, but the
great body of republicans will continue
their former alignment.
The claim is made for Davidson that
he should have an endorsement. The
opposition say that the people did not
directly make him governor and that
there is no evidence that they would
and that it is not the custom to con-
tinue in Office as an endorsement those
who become governor or president
through vacancy in the higher office.
This is is situation up to date.
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1906-06-23

made that the selection of good man
was the merest chance.
In Iowa they are having disagree
able contest and the convention will
be a wild one. Every method known
to crooked politics will prevail.
We are, therefore, in the light of
what is going on around us, lucky in
having quiet and dignified method of
choosing our next governor.
1t is rather rough on the bosses and
gangsters and boodlers, but good for
the people.

Graduation and AfterWard.

Last week several young people grad
uated from the Ladysmith High School.
1t is too often the case that young
people receive their diplomas as an
evidence that their education is finish
ed. This is sad mistake-it is just
begun. The graduate is just ready to
enter the primer class of life. The
first reader is still out of sight.
Life is an earnest proposition and
the school is merely to prepare the pu-
pill to enter upon the wider arena. 1t
is the preparatory course.
Nine-tenths of what has been learned
by rote will have been forgotten or
become a mere haze long ere life is
half over. Why, then, may be asked,
was it learned at all? Leaving aside
any matter of criticism of the school
course, it may be said that the training
has opened up broader world. If it
has done that, the result is ample com
pensation.
Within few years the graduate
will wonder, after all, what the radical
sign denotes or what is quadratic,
but their handling has awakened the
