FAKE NEWS EXPOSED.
The Journals Effort for It's Favorite
Exposed.

Last week tie Journal made an at
tempt to bolster up the cause of the
crowd in the county ring, by going
out of its way and of the paths of
journalism, to make comment on what
the editor and owner of the News said
when served with the summons in the
McGill libel suits. According to the
Journals mastery effort, the editor
"essayed no verbal answer" That is
correct. There was no verbal answer
to be made and that would not have
been the place nor those the parties.
The answer is made in writing and
thereafter McGill will be called up
under a provision of the law to tell
about the bank wreckage.
The Journal attempted to make out
that the owner of this paper "craw-
fished" when served with the summons,
by attributing to Mr.. Goocher the
crawfshing" done by Mr.. True. In
order to put things right, the News
VIII give CIlS lICClS uldlOSuS do 1OlAOWo'
True The newspaper business
doesn't appear to be very profitable
lately.
Goocher Well, we haven't reaped
the harvest yet.
True (after explaining that he was
going away, hadn't anything against
anyone, etc. u would like to get
things cleaned up and these matters
disposed Of.
Goocher Well, you have some things
to prove.
TrueYes, know, and doubt if I
will be able to prove them.
The above is the talk as it occurred
and this report is borne out by the
facts while the Journals statement is
denied by every feature Of the situa-
ton.

From Golfers Weekly.

During his first four months in the
United States senate Robert M. La
Follett exposed and stopped the sale
and leasing of coal and asphalt land in
Indian Territory.
He led the fight which kept the
records open until there can be a full
investigation of alleged gratis in Indian
Territory.
He delivered the most exhaustive
speech that was made on the railroad
rate bill
He forced the passage of an employ
ers' liability act. He forced the pass
age of a resolution authorizing the
interstate commerce commission to
investigate railway and elevator COM
panies for the purpose of discovery
whether combination exists between
them by which the farmer is robbed.
He forced the senate to consider his
resolution reducing the hours of labor
on railroads in the interest of public
safety.
He introduced bills providing for the
block system on all railways of the
country.
Senator La Toilette is a true embodi-
ment of the popular spirit of disapproval
which has been aroused against the
body of which he is new member.
He hangs on the fanks of his col
leagues and watches for opportunities
to raid. He surprises the enemy and
catches them in awkward situations.
That is what happened in the case Of
the employers liability bill, TIE sena-
torial army were sweeping through the
narrow and dangerous defile of the five
minute rule debate on the railway rate
bill when Mr.. La Toilette flashed upon
the fanks and offered the liability bill
as an amendment. It was germane,
in order, and it had been knocking for
consideration for exactly twenty years,
The eyes of the country were On the
senate chamber.
La Toilette demanded roll-call vote.
He said he would not argue. He want
ed only vote. They could vote for or
against it as they pleased, but vote
they would or they cloud not advance
another step.
Aldrich, Elkins and Kean (members of
the interstate commerce committee,
where the bill was being smothered),
grabbed a white flag ard rushed out to
make terms. They promised anything.
Withdraw the amendment and they
would report the liability bill next Fri
Aay-any old time!
Their promises were recorded in the
|'Record," +" and La Toilette had won his
fight. The twenty years conpaign
was ended, and the bill hardly less
important than the rate bill has been
added to the national statutes.
Again in the closing hours Of the ses-
sion La Toilette fell on the cohorts of
khe regulars.
He demanded consideration OF. the bill
to limit the Hours of railway employees.
In the congestion of business, when
little could go forward without unani-
nous consent, he stationed himself in
the middle of the legislative road and
drew his oratorical sword. "Vote, he
demanded f'Vote to take up this bill
and make it the unfinished business.
Otherwise obstruct" The senatorial
army halted. There nine roll-calls.
Each new call on the motion showed
Ladysmith news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1906-1907, 1906-12-08

the absencesof quorum; but each call
for quorum showed quorum present.
What did this mean? Simply that
senators were skulling. They were fail
ing to respond to their names when the
roll was called, for the reason that they
did not dare vote against the motion of
La Follette-and their affiliations with
the railways and other vested interests
were such that they did not dare vote
for the motion. There sat Burrows, of
Michigan, and never peeped. There
was the good Mr. Lodge disappearing
into the cloakroom when the LIS were
reached. There were dozen senators
pretending that the issue was q partisan
one, and taking refuge in the plea that
they were ''paired" with an absent
colleague.
But La Toilette held the pass, and
refused to be moved. They gathered
round his desk and fed him with honey
ed words. They breathed threatenings
of dire consequences if he presisted,
But it was of no use. Finally Hale
arose and announced surrender. He
told his colleagues who were skulking
behind pairs" to come out and vote.
A third time La Toilette fell upon
the enemy. On the occasion the sena-
tional soldiers were gathered together
in quiet place for division of the
loot. The public building bill, other
wise known as the ''pork barrel" was
under consideration. La Toilette S
unfinished business" the bill to limit
the hour of railway trainmen, etc.-be-
came the regular order.
Scott, of Weat Virginia manager Of
the "pork barrel,'' asked La Toilette
to let his bill wait.
'I demand the regular order," was
the calm and firm announcement of
La Toilette. A delegation-a non -parti-
san propork delegation-hurried over
to La Follette's desk and began to
gesticulate. His face was like a mask.
Hale saw that the raid must be re-
PEELED at any cost, and he sounded his
forces to arms.
Every WE'LL" he declared, "then I
will move to lay aside the unfinished
business and we will have roll-call on
that"
This was steel against steel, and L
Toilette parried.
"Of course, my bill merely affects
the public safety" said La Toilette,
with gentle sarcasm. II knew it would
be voted down as against bill of the
character of the one under considera-
tion.
La Toilette is demonstrating what
has long been a matter admitted in
theory-that one man my be a host in
the senate; if only he be willing to- pay
the price and to play the game. at Us
bold game. But he has plucked the
tail feathers from several magnificent
gentlemen. The game is still young.
His enemies will remember. But the
people will not forget.
