Taft Eulooized spooner.

The action Of Secretary Taft in
paying a glowing tribute to former
secretary John c.. Spooner, In his
address to the students at Madison,
Mondy, without balancing it with a
eulogy Of Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette in the same number of words
was done with full knowledge of
the deadly warfare that has existed
between the republican factions of
the state, and understanding we'll
the personal enmity between Spoon
Or and La Toilette, who have per-
sonified the Issues in conflict.
After the meeting broke up some
of the radical La Toilette folk took
the matter up and said: did you
notice that he said a lot about Spoon
or and hardly q word about Bob?"
There's the keynote that exists
among the irreconcilables. although
Spooner is out OF public life for good
and nobody Is In sight to measure
mp his standard in. opposition to the
future aspirations and intentions of
La Toilette in connection with the
republic organization of Wisconsin.
II som4ebody intimately acquainted
with Spooner and under obligations
to his ability as q senator says a kind
word for his friend and doesn't say
Just as much for La Toilette, with
whom, perhaps, he has no close per-
sonal acquaintance, then he is throw
ing Bob down" Wisconsin is a
might tfcklish proposition for the
man who has not the courage to
speak his thoughts, even in these
days when the aforetime breach
within the republican party is rather
q remembrance Of personal bitterness
than q great difference over party
principles.

Home Investments for

that this fact accounts largely

are all invested in Vermont. IL
says:
