knocking Out Senatorial Courtesy.

When Robert La Toilette entered the
United States senate it was predicted
that he would not be heard from for
SOME time to come, that the unwritten
law which requires new members to
keep q paddock on their lips during the
first two or three sessions must be OBJ
served by him just as it has been by
others who were chosen to represent the
people iu that august body. But Sena-
tor La, Toilette understood that he was
sent to, the upper house to do his duty,
and he is performing that service, much
tS the pleasure of his most ardent add
mjfers, who have always found their
idol. living and working up to their ex-
pectations. A few days ago Senator
Ia Toilette was heard from. In a Wig
ofous speech he informed his associates
that the two railroads that cross Indian
territory were trying to steal valuable
coal lands located there. The senators
were compelled to sit up and take no
tice whether they liked it or not. Sen
atorial courtesy be switched. What did
Senator La Toilette care about such an
antiauated old fraud? He was aware
Of an attempted piece of robbery on the
part of couple of railroad corpora
tions and he felt that it was his duty
to expose the damnable business. But
this is not all. Senator La Toilette bids
fair to knock out the senatorial cour-
tpsv fol,dp-rOl and MT new members
into possession of the right to speak
aloud before they have sat through a
session or two. One precedent has been
smashed and another established,
thanks to the doughty senator from
Wisconsin.

What Washington Said to Congress

= Carping critics OF President Roosevelt's
policy in favor of modern coast defenses
will do well to read what George Wash
ington said on the same subject to con-
gress: "The United States ought not
to indulge persuasion that contrary to
the order of human events, it will for
ever keep at a distance those painful
appeals to arms with which the history
of every nation abounds. There is rank
due to the United States among nations
which will be withheld, if not absolutely
lost, by the reputation of weakness. II
We desire to avoid insult, we must be
able to repel it. If we desire to secure
peace, one of the most powerful instru-
ments of our rising prosperity, it must
be known that we are, at all times
ready for war;"

The postoffice department has become
tired of the apathy displayed by farm
srs toward its request to keep the roads
in good condition so that the rural mail
carriers will not be handicapped in their
work. In some sections of the north
west routes have been suspended because
THE farmers have not complied with the
rules and regulations laid down by the
department. The postoffice department
requires good, passable roads, open to
Mayel the whole year round, as one of
the conditions upon which free rural de-
livery service is granted and maintained.
The officials are giving more attention
"a this matter of highways than ever
before, and similar orders will be made
covering other localities if the rural
route patrons are as negligent in the
matter of roads in the future as they
have been in the past. Good roads and
approved mail boxes are the only re-
quirements that Uncle Sam demands as
conditions for the grant of this great
boon to the farming community, and
these he does insist upon. If the rural
mail delivery is worth anything to the
farmers they certainly should lend their
assistance to keeping the roads in the
best possible condition. There is no ex-
cuse for poor highways, anyway when
the farmers realize what a great benefit
good roads are they will have them re-
