Sp0Oner and La Toilette.

The Hon. Robert M. La Toilette
Of Wisconsin has an unquestionable
right to aspire, as he is now report
ed to aspire, to the highest public
honors. Not only is such aspiration
an inherent privilege of American
citizenship, but Senator La Toilette
has shown powers of leadership
which forbid any dismissal of his as
pirations as foolish.
While many of Senator La Fol-
lette's ideas have seemed peculiar
and many of his methods theatrical
his success so far justifies the assump-
ton that he fulflls a popular need
and that, though the people may not
desire specifically all the things he
stands for, yet through his agency
they may be getting forward.
To draw a historic comparison, it
is impossible to see how Mr.. La
Toilette could by any chance be the
Webster or the Lincoln of his time
but it is possible to see that he
might become the Douglas. He
seems one destined to stir the nation
rather than to uphold its fabric or
truly guide its course.
And it must be confessed that it is
distinct handicap upon Senator La
Follette's further progress that he
should seem to make condition OF
his success the political obstruction
of the Hon. John c. Spooner, every
where recognized as the foremost OF
living American public men in sheer
intellectual capacity and, as such, a
pillar of the state.
In the solemn hour of death a
great statesman once declared that
he had no enemies to forgive, since
he had none but those of the state.
And another one, who brought his
country safely through great perils,
was wont to declare that true states
manship always forgives.
To achieve success ambition must
displace rivals. Yet true statesman
ship has no enemies whom it would
destroy save those of the state, and
reconciles itself quickly with all up
holders of the state, no matter how
great diversity of viewpoints and
methods. It seems weakness OF
the Hon. Robert M. La Toilette
that he should appear to be unable
to see that there is room in public
life for those who think not exactly
as he does, and that he should APP
pear convinced that ruins must form
his stairway to fame.
There is room in public life for
both of these sons of Wisconsin and
the American people will not light
ly assent to the removal of tried
pillar of the nation merely to make
place for one whose full merits are
vet to be demonstrated. Senator
La Toilette should reflect upon the
fate of those who seek greatness
through destruction. Their names
are seldom found inscribed in the
golden book of Immortality. Chic.

of these refugees went as far east
as Chicago. 1t is said that the fare
of these refugees, collected at the
regular rates, would amount to
more than 100000 and the free
transportation of freight by the

Special attention is called to the
notice of A. L. Lien, offering a re-
ward for information that will lead
to the discovery of the particular
boys who carried away dynamite
caps and powder from the storage
shed on Walkers mound recently.
Aside from the serious question of
taking the property of another, it
must be understood that these ex-
plosives are dangerous things to
handle and in the hands of bows a
menace TO life and limb. Stories
have been current for sometime to
the effect that certain boys have
been committing petty depreda-
tions, apparently for mere mischief
and annoyance. Young people are
too prone to be inconsiderate of the
rights and feelings of others. They
should be made to realize that they
must recognize the rights of others.

SURFACE ROCKS ARE MOVING.
EARTHQUAKE is AS SIMPLE AS
BREAKING TIMBER.

Chicago, April 81. Professor ].
cago, says:
AN earthquake is as simple as the
breaking of timber. l believe that
the seat of the disturbance at San
Francisco was about seven miles be-
low the surface of the earth 1t was
quite probably a slipping of the crust
of the earth. Generally one block of
the crust slips up while the other slips
down. The focus of the disturbance
may not be noted by the direction of
the cracks in the wrecked city. The
Sierra mountains are young and grow
ing slowly and no doubt, their growing
was the cause of the earthquake"
Washington. = The possible relation
of the earthquake in San Francisco
to the eruption of Vesuvius formed
the subject of discussion among sci
entists in this city.
None of them were willing to ad-
vance any argument which would tend
to connect one with the other. In
fact, the officials of the geological sur
vey declared that there was no rela-
tionship whatever, both being local.
Prof. Hayes, director of geology of the
geological survey, said:
"The San Francisco disturbances are
due to the slipping of the surface
rocks to adjust themselves to changed
conditions inside the earth. They
have no relationship whatever to the
eruption of Vesuvius The interior of
the earth is in molten state except
in the region of the volcanoes, but if
you go down a distance of sixty or
seventy miles the rocks are practi-
cally in fluid state from the immense
pressure on top of them. They act like
liquid, and they adjust themselves to
changed conditions. But when you
come nearer the surface, where the
strata are hard and brittle, the slip
ping of part of the earth's crust along
the line of fault will give you just
the conditions that attended the at
tack in San Francisco. The old earth,
take it as whole, is a very uneasy
body and is in a state of constantly
changing equilibrium. When the foun-
dations dip down there has to be an
adjustment of the surface, like the
breaking up of ice on river and a
REIMBURSEMENT of the blocks to each
other. This is evidently what has hap.
pened on the Pacific coast"

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, ard some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female Or
ganism. ,
Miss F. Orser, of IA Warrenton Street,
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham.-
at suffered misery for several years with
female irregularities. My back ached; had
bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches;

proud of it. Her object in studying
law is to be of service to the people

Saved James Hazen Hyde.

Not many persons are aware how
greatly indebted James Hazen Hyde is
to one of his lawyers for the good i'm
preston which he made before the
Armstrong insurance committee. Mr..
Hyde's sensible appearance before that
committee did more than anything else
to dispel the popular prejudice against
his eccentricities. This lawyer prac-
tically dictated to Mr.. Hyde what he
should wear while on the stand. He
made the young man discard his Gus
tomary buttonhole bouquet; had him
brush his hair down fiat instead of
pompadour and ordered him to wear
an old, simple looking suit of clothes.
Result: The cartoonists are wonder
ing yet where they got the ideas for
the extravagant pictures they made of
the young insurance man.
