The contest which has been raging
in the United States Senate over the
railroad rate bill seems to be at an end.
For months the President has stood
out against the railroad Senators and
with positive assertions that he would
continue the fight until the battle was
won he earned the applause Of the peo-
pie. For some time it has looked As if
the contest would divide the Republi =
can party but at last Mr. Roosevelt has
surrendered and accepted what he is
pleased to call the Allison amendment
but which in truth was dictated by
Senator Carter at the suggestion Of
Senator Aldrich, the chief representa-
tive Of the Standard Oil company and
the railroads. The amendment is 30
indefinite aud ambiguous in it's Ian
guage that both sides express themsel :
yes as well satisfied and even claim it
as victory.
The announcement made by the
President that he accepted the amend
ment came as a shock to his supporters
within his own prrty in the senate as
well as the Democratic Senators who
had been giving him their support
Even some of his party Senators sx
press themselves in terms of suppress
ed bitterness at what they call be-
trayal.
The people have been following this
contest with great interest. They have
Ielied upon the administration to Eight
their battle with the hosts of the mon
ey power and the acceptance upon the
part of the Presinent of a law that is SO
eminently satisfactory to the Aldrich
crew causes discomfort and disgust.
Whittier the people or the railroads
have won the victory is a question that
causes little concern to eithAr faction
of the Republicans. They have agreed
for the sake of politics and without re-
gard to the interests of the public.

There have cen some warm times
during the past week in the United
S ates Senate. Senators Bailey and
Il llman, have defended themselves
gainst the reflection cast upon them
by the president or his suboridnates in
language that was easily understood.
Ex.S Senator Chandl Ter, of New Hamp-
S lire figures in the matter as an inter
mediary between the President and the
Democratic senators. Roosevelt stated
that he has been importuned to
e lter negotiations with Tillman
through chandler but the Sen
ator and Chandler say. Roose-
welt sought communications. Sen
ator Bailey took no part in this
question of veraclty but on Tuesday a
Chicago newspaper published a dis
patch from Washington charging that
Bailey had been under suspicion of
dickering with the -\ldrich crowd. On
Wednesday Bailey took the floor on a
question of personal privilege. He stat
ed:
~ denounce that statement as an
unqualified, deliberate and ma
licious lie: | denounce that correspond
ent as an unqualified, deliberate and
malicious liar; denounce the man
who furnished him that Information
and who inspired its publication as an
unqualified and deliberate and mali
cious liar, whoever he may be and how
ever high the office which he holds.
ats seems to me conclusive that
this slanded proceeded from the White
House. | hope, for the honor of my
country, that it did not from the presi-
dent himself. If the President is fit for
his high office, the man who perpe-
trated that infamy will pay for it with
his position. The man who did it, if
he holds his place, has evidently done
it with the approval of his chief"
Senator Chandler replies TO Senator
Lodges denial on behalf .of President
Roosevelt and declares that the Presi-
dent summoned him to negotiate with
the Democratic Senators. He supports
! Tillman's statement in detail.
"If the old imperialist days" he
said, chad been fully revived at the
| White House, one whom | considered
the best of friends-Senator Lodge
upon demand, would have cut off nv
head and taken it to President Roose.
Welt on charger and should have
spoken no more. Now at least l have
left to me the power of speech. But
shall never use it again asa mis- sionary
from President Roosevelt to the Dem
ocrrtic party"

To Our Readers.

We ask our readers to remember
our advertisers. They ask for your
patronage and will try to please and
satisfy you. 1t is fair supposition
that those who do not advertise their
business do not care for your trade.
1t is the non-advertising business
man that makes dull times in town.
He may think that everybody knows
that he is in business, where he is
located, what he has to offer, ETC.,
but he is mistaken. Only small cir
Gle of his friends know and patronize
him.
On the other hand, the advertiser
in the Leader sends his message week
ly, on the wings of Uncle Sans mails,
to every hamlet, village, and rural
route, in Barron county, and draws,
or helps to draw, outside trade to this
point. In these days, the buyer has
to figure close to the limit and he
studies the advertisements. He knows
that the advertising merchant keeps
the newest and freshest goods, and he
goes with the crowds. If they come
to Rice Lake, he will come here, also.
Therefore, patronize the advertisers
and help them build up Rice Lake as a
trading point, and it will increase the
value of your own property. Rice Lake
Leader.
To the above we give our entire
approval as applying to News readers
and News advertisers. That the News
is a valuable advertising medium is
shown by the fact that during the
first year of it's existence it took first
place in circulation in Rusk county.
Patronize the merchants who adver-
tise in the News. In this way you
help build up the paper that has lived
through the difficult period of any
newspapers life without public patron
age. This newspaper has been boy
cotted by every officer in the court
house for reasons best known to them
selves-probably because it is not
comfortable quantity. Again, patron
ize News advertisers

state. Texas has asserted its inherent
right, right never granted nor recog
nized by the constitution, of keeping an
observant eye upon its senator. And
it may now recognize right of recall
which also is not recognized by the con-
stitution, but which can as certainly be
exerted as though it stood, in all its
democratic force, in the handwriting of
his constitutional highness, Hamilton
himself.
This reassertion of democratic control
over United States senators, as ex-
emplifed in Texas, impresses US as some
thing entirely wholesome inAmerican af-
fairs. There has been too much tendency
to let senatorial affairs drift, to accept
the senator continuously if he made a
name for himself in Washing ton, whether
he represented his state or not The
senate has been not only rich man S
club, but too completed what the franz
ers of the government designed it to
be, select and separate body of men,
with grand ducal qualities, somewhat
apart from the hoi polloi of the republic.
The people have detected this drift and
for years there has been an agitation
looking toward popular election of sena-
tors That has not as yet proved FEAST
BILE; amendment is slow. But the states
are gradually taking the matter in their
own hands, and by expressing cumula-
tive state opinion the voters in state
are able to influence the legislators who
elect the senator, quite as definitely as
though they elected the senator them
selves. Many of the states have substitute
ed opinion for constitutional amendment,
and have been able to dictate the man
who should be senator. But the people
have not so effectively criticised nz-
tional senator, and subjected him to ere
call. /" Texas is doing this to Senator
Bailey, and he is to be given an oppor-
tunity for defense. 1t looks as though
the people were governing the country
after all.

Liked Prison

Sir Alfred Reynolds, who has done
a great deal for British unfortunates
says that when a young girl goes to
prison for the first time it is for her
a very dreadful thing. He tells of a
case which came under his notice as a
visiting justice. A young girl, when
she found herself in the prison. was
utterly overcome with shame and be-
came hysterical. The matron con.
triyed to soothe her. When her time
came to be released the girl said 70

shan't mind coming back again.

Texas has been proud of it's senator,
thatit has felt distinctly the glory which
this oratorical Southerner has reflected
upon it. But it has not permitted it's
head to be turned by the gGttering
ability of it's "favorite son.. Texas

all the states with senators and all dis
tricts with congressman to recognize,
that Washington, which is a great forum
for ability, either forensic or committee
has also it's adverse influences, and that
even Josephs may not be able to with
stand these temptations. And especial
ly it realizes that the Josephs must not
get it into their heads that the senator

TO PLANT NATIVE CORN
This Is the Advice of Successful Corn
Producers in Rusk
Hou,,fv,


The demonstration of the fact that
Rusk county is within the corn belt has
reached point no longer admitting Of
question. In all parts of the county
the crop is large, sound and matured
long before the first frost which was
ON the night of Sept. 26th.
Most Of the corn of the county was
ripe from the first to the tenth of Sep
TENDER all by the latter date, which
means more than two weeks before the
first frost.
1t is certain that as the country is
cleared up the seasons will be earlier.
The early maturity of the corn crop
lies in the fact Of the very rapid growth
which is noticeable everywhere
Much is this corn is grown upon land
in which the stunps still stand and
some on very new land. AS has been
the experience of other sections, there
is not the least doubt that after the
stumps and roots are out and the sol
is better cultivated all crops will mature
earlier. Last year was a very rainy
season, but the corn crop was gooo
where it had any chance-a fair croE
even on land not subdued to degree
at all preparatory for corn.
People from Illinois and Iowa have
pronounced our corn as good as theirs.
The point which the News wishes tc
call attention to is that Of planting
seed from Rusk county fields. All sec
tions find certain kinds of corn to which
the soil is more specially suited. The
best proof lies in the product. The
variety which grows best in Rusk coun-
ty is the kind to plant, no matter what
promoters may say Of other kinds.
Therefore, take time by the forelock
and secure your seed corn now from
those whose fields show the kind to
plant,
