PRESIDENTS POSITION.

They are now calling upon the presi-
dent to make a final denial as to
third term. The president has all
along insisted that his denial of the
night of the election is final He has
never changed word in that state
ment, but he has both in season and
out of season stated positively that
he would not again be candidate that
his friends, those who are nearest to
him, have stated as positively that
nothing has happened to change his
mind. How many more denials from
him and from his friends will it take
to make the final denial. 1t would seem
that the president has done his whole
duty in that repsect. AS We look at
it the question is no longer up to the
president, but 1t is up to the people,
to his party and it's leaders. If there
should be an almost unanimous decision
for him to accept second nomina-
ton, then it might become his duty
to accept it. We have thought that
if such a demand were made on him
that he would accept, that he could
be ma le to see that it would be his
duty to accept. But that is about all
there is to it now No statements from
the White House can make the posi-
ton of the president any clearer than
it is.

DECISION REVERSED

The supreme court of Iowa has re-
Gently rendered decision that is of
great interest to many of the people,
for if carried to it's logical conclusion,
it will increase the public funds enor-
mously. An attorney by the name Of
SallInger. living at Carroll, brought
suit against the Western Union Tele-
graph company for failure to deliver
dispatch as promptly as should have
been the case, the delay causing him
to make trip from Milwaukee. The
suit was brought to recover the ex-
pense incurred on the trip. In the
district court he was the winner, but
the case was carried up and is now
reversed ON the ground that Sallinger
was not entitled to recover for the
item of railroad fare, for the reason
that he travelled on pass. If this
is good law. and it cetainly would seem
that he had no right to be paid for
expenses that he had not incurred,
why should not public officials who
have collected travelling expenses
while riding on passes be called upon
to refund the amount of such alleged
expense? If the money was drawn
from the public treasury without
right to it, then it should be returned.
and what is to hinder &C. ion being
brought to recover from those who do
not possess sufficiently fine sense If
honor to prompt them to make vol
untary contribution to the econ
science fund.- This decision has
opened field for thought, and it is
likely that some of the men who have
been riding on passes and drawing
mileage fees with the thought that
they were not doing a dishonest act,
will now see themselves as others see
them, and as they will be seen in the
final roundup. 1t IS now
up to the conscience of the
public officials to decide whether
money that IS not rightfully theirs
shall be kept or returned to the public
treasury from which it was unjustIy
taken.

STEPHENSON Is NAMED.

At the time of the resignation of
Senator John @. Spooner, The Leader
editorially made the prediction that
he would be succeeded by Isaac Steph-
enson, the millionaire Marinette lum-
herman. This belief was chung to up
to the first CAUCUS, and since that time,
The Leader has not wavered in it's
belief through the periods of the eau
Gus, when even some of the supporters
and admirers uf the Marinatte man
have wavered and given up hopes.
AS has been said before. it is repeat
ed now, The Leader was not prejudiced
in it's belief through any political love
or belief IN the eminent fitness of Mr..
Stephenson for the high seat IN the
political arena, for frankly speaking
he was the last choice of the several
aspirants for the senatorial toga.
In caucus Thursday evening Mr..
Stephenson was nominated, the formal
election taking place yesterday, ending
the longest senatorial contest ever
waged in Wisconsin, being on eight
weeks, TIE balloting in the legislature
covering just five legislature weeks.
Considering the length of the con.
test and the number of candidates in
the field, it has been remarkably free
from bitterness. The honor conferred
upon Mr.. Stephenson is in the natrue of
political reward for his loyalty to the
present state administration in keeping
the cid off his barrel in carry ing On
rather spectacular reform-notabiy
eievating politically the favored few
who have stood by the guns in carry
ing on what is developing to be a
brazen farce of refrom. The senatorial
contest just ended is harped upon by
some of the state papers as voicing
the will of the people, because the
defeated aspirants for the honor, for
policy's sake. have choked up cor
gratulatory remarks upon the outcome.
The contest just ended should have
and The Leader believes will have a
political moral influence upon the
people of Wisconsin. When a political
boss can dominate over legislature to
the extent of elevating favorite,
tor "short term" to pay a pull
tical debt, it is time the people of TIE
state rose in revolt and demanded a
change and The Leader believes that
if there was ever a time for the Demo-
cratic party to put Oh bold front.
it is now.

AN EXHIBITION OF
MOVING PICTURES
Lyman H, HOWe'S Scenes OF
Adventure and Grandeur
Here Soon,

The mind could conceive 70 more
fearful nor daring exploit than will be
shown in the Idea theatre on Sunday,
and Tuesday. May 26 to %,
during the exhibition of Lyman
H. Howe's moving pictures of the
ascent of the Tyrolean Dolomites. To
climb the dolomites is the most diff
cult All hazardous mountaineering ven
ture in the world. Some of the peaks
have never been assembled until now.
Even under ordinary circumstances the
ascent seems utterly impossible. But
when it is remembered that the climb
ers were constantly hampered by the
cameras, &C., necessary to secure
moving pictures, and that in spite of
this handicap they achieved what has
never been done before, the achieve
ment becomes all the more marvellous.
The pluck, ingenuity and endurance
shown by the climbers Is remarkable.
1t arouses breathless interest in every
spectator, and holds the audience
spellbound IN eloquent silence until
the desolation of the summit is reach
ed. So great are the dangers at every
step as the adventures struggle from
crag TO crag, over ravlnes and up
mountain sides less capable of ascent
| than a sky-scraper, that the spectator
ia apt TO gasp at the risks taken.
Often there are only few precarious
inches between the climbers and GER
tain death. They are pictures that
show triumph over the impossible.
So great are the dangers at every step
that the spectator naturally feels that
there is only one safe way of climb
ing the Dolomites and that is to see
it reproduced through the medium OF
Lyman H. Howe's wonderful repro
ductlon. The panoramic view from
the summit is one of wonderful beauty
and grandeur. The entire series is q
marvel of photography.

IT WAS BY SAVING.

The other night as I was walk
ing down to the wigwam for supper,
man caught up with me. He was a
working man, carrying his dinner pail.
/ asked him where he worked, and he
told me on the Wabash section. Said
they were getting $1.5O day now.
Then l asked som questions, and l
found that in just little while he had
saved enough out of his wages, with
the help of his good wife, to pay for
= home. They bought little place
up in the north end of town, big
enough to keep a cow and to raise
some chickens and a garden. They
sold butter and milk and lived care
fully, and most of the wages went to
pay for the home. 1t was soon paid
for. Then came chance to sell it
at right smart advance, and they
made some easy money there. Then
they bought larger place down near
the wagon works and built modest
little home on it, and have it paid
for now. There are any amount of
other working men in town who had
just as good chance to own their
own homes as this man had, but they
didn't see it that way. He didn't
squander money. Needless to say that
he spent his evenings mostly at home,
with his wife and their little girl; and
he's not engaged in holding down the
curb at nights, telling how to run the
government. While he spent his
money as fast as he got it, and kept
it in circulation, yet every time he
spent it he had something to show for
