THE GARDEN OF Toys.

By the boreal pole where old Santa
Claus lives
In his cottage of taffy and glass,
In the summer his sleigh is well
packed away
And his reindeer are pastured on
grass.
There the Saint reads his books
and the Saint smokes his pipe
And leisurely hours he enjoys;
But of mornings he goes with his
rakes and his hoes
To the beautiful Garden of Toys.
Oh, the Garden If Toys is well plant
ed with seeds
OF every plaything that's out;
Long rows of tin whistles and horns
thick as thistles
And pop-guns, beginning to sprout.
The marble-plant, too, is just bring
ing to view
A crop of delight for the boys
AS the Saint showers the lot from
his watering-pot
In the beautiful Garden of Toys.

A Iona Root.

An Irishman, with one Jaw very
much swollen from a tooth that he
wished to have pulled, entered the
office of a Washington dentist.
When the suffering Celt was put
into the chair and saw the cleaning
forceps approaching his face, he
positively refused to open his mouth.
Being a man of resource, the dentist
quietly instructed his assistant to
push a pin into the patients leg, so
that when the Irishman opened his
month to yell the dentist could get at
the refractory molar.
When all was over, the dentist
asked:
"It didn't hurt as much as you ex-
pected, did it?''
"Not quite" responded the
patient. But" he added, as he
ran his hand over the place into
which the assistant had inserted the
pin. '1ittle did I think them roots
whit that far down."

Election Day Drawing Near.

With election day for state and county
offices less than three weeks distant The
inactivity of candidates and their friends
is simply remarkable, speaking from &
local viewpoint.
Never was there parallel case OF
quietness during the approach Of gen
eral election so far az the history OF
Iowa county reveals. One prominent
citizen of Mineral Point, and of Demo
cratic faith all through his career, was
heard to remark the other day: There s
nothing to it. No Democrats; no Re
publcans.
Strange condition, if true, surely.
But the fact Of the matter is, each
party has regularly nominated candi-
dates for office from governor down.
The Republican list of aspirants can be
found at the head Of this column. Most
Of them are known to the Tribune to
be men of sterling worth and ability,
entitled to the support of every Repub-
lican voter. OF those not known to us
personally it is but justice to them to
state that they wouldn' t have been nomi-
mated had the rank and file of the party
regarded them as unworthy at the time
of the primary. The judgment and de-
sire Of the majority of his party is a fair
guide for every Republican when cast
ing his ballot,
All Of the Democratic candidates are
good fellows so far as known and, it is
taken for granted, are capable of max
ing efficient officials. But, is there an
instance where the Republican aspirant
is not the equal of his opponent?
Now, as when the lamented Lincoln
carried aloft the glorious banner, true
Republicanism means something. II
means ideals and purposes above the
symbol of mere selfish factions. II
means true representative government
a government of the people, by the
people and for the people. Candidates
of this faith are entitled to a hearty
support.

a Hint to Republicans.

The stronger the country goes Repub-
lican at the coming fall elections the
more gratifed President Roosevelt will
be. A strong Republican victory in all
parts of the country will mean hand
some endorsement of his administra-
ton, while, on the contrary, any falling
off in the Republican vote, and especial
" if the results also show gains for the
Democrats, would be taken as an indi-
cation of dissatisfaction with Republi-
can policies and principles, or in other
words, a vote of no confidence in the
Republican president This is fact
which should not be lost sight of by the
voters of this state in connection with
the campaign now on, and which will
terminate in about three weeks with
the state election At that time the
Republican voters of Wisconsin should
make it good and strong" not only
for the sake Of taking no chances of a
Democratic victory, but also to show
the nation that Wisconsin is still in line
for Republican principles and that it al
50 heartily endorses the wise and gen
orally good administration that has been
furnished by President Roosevelt, who
holds the confidence and respect of the
members of all parties.

Ia Toilette and Congress.

From lengthy Washington cores
pondence under date of October llth is
CLEANED the following:
There is much quiet discussion among
public men about the probable program
with which Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin will come back to Washington at
the beg uning Of the next session of
congress. 1t will be a severe test for
the Wisconsin man, because it is well
understood that his senatorial associates
are going to redouble the cordality of
their antagonism to him. That he will
hght in a vigorous and effective way is
not doubted by anybody.
Senator La Toilette convinced Wash
ington last winter, as he had long be-
fore convinced his home state, that he
could stand punishment and thrive on
it. He isn't the sort of fighter who
worries about his wounds. He is too
busy hitting back TO notice whether he
has himself been hit. That is why there
is SO much curiosity about the sort Of
shot he is putting into his locker by
way of preparation for his side Of the
bombardment that is expected.
Last session La Toilette won some
great victories. Even the defeat of his
proposition TO have a valuation made Of
the railroad properties of the country
turned out victory, for the matter re-
ceiyed an immense amount of attention
and comment was almost universally
favorable to IT, Likewise he was de
feated when he promulgated a resoIu-
ton authorizing the president to with
draw from entry the coal lands of the
public domain. He explained that the
president wanted the authority; but it
was uag enough LWsr the Iniou Pa
cjdc investigation barred q fearful condi-
ton of graft in these same lands, and
the scandal is fast spreading to other
western roads, The president has with
drawn these lands of his own accord.
and again is La Toilette indicated.
The La Toilette resolution for inves-
tigation of the grain eleyator-railroad
combination passed, and SO far as it has
gone the inquiry into these conditions
has been another Endorsement of Wis
consin's junior senator
The expectation is that la Folet.,
will press, next session, q we'll digested

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one-third the time required by the
old treatment. This is the greatest dis
covery and triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain S Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic. and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also al
lays the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not to
speak of the inconvenience and suffer
ing such injuries entail. For sale by
Ivey's Pharmacy.

railroad interests. Legislation to give to
some government authority supervi-
sion of the capitalization of interstate
railroads, in order to prevent over-cap-
italization, is likewise thought to be
contemplated by the Badger senator.
His bill to limit the hours Of continuous
service of railroad employees was made
special order for early next January
and will doubtless pass. And there is
intimation that the senator may inter-
est himself in some further investiga-
tions of matters related to the looting
of the public lands. .
