Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
for President.

1.-The Arena" magazine for Septem-
Der contains strong paper from Pro-
fessor William Kittle, urging Senator
Robert NJ La Toilette for president.
In it, Professor Kittle reviews at length
and in strikingly interesting manner
the pubic career of Senator La Fol-
lette, showing that he has uniformly
stood by the people in the great battle
against privileged and predatory wealth,
and more than that, that his stand has
been fearless, aggressive and uncom-
promising in its character. A recent
issue OF Government" contained Z
strong paper from the pen of B. O.
Flower, the editor of ''The Arena" in
support of Senator La r'ollette's SPLEEN
did stand for the people. Mr.. Flower
holds that the Wisconsin Senator, more
than any other able or prominent states
man in the Republican party, represents
the ideals, conscience and spirit of
Abraham Lincoln, and as such is safe
man for the people to trust in the pres
ent political crises. Professor Kittle's
paper is the ablest and most exhaustive
argument in favor of Senator La Fol-
lette for president that has appeared.
Indeed, it may be said to sound the
keynote Of campaign which thou
sands Of trust-ridden and railroad-ex-
plotted citizens are hoping will be ag-
excessively opened and carried forward
for the best interests oe the Republic
and her citizens.

Lei Railroads Make Money!

Railroads wher fairly run for the
public and for their stockholders ought
to make money, so that they may be
kept in a state of high efficiency. 1t
was right to drive the railroads out of
their old-time control of state politics.
1t was also right to oblige them TO dis
continue the improper distribution of
free passes. Again, it was right to
use every means, however drastic, to
compel them to abandon the old system
of rebates and determinations 1t was
right to compel them to use safety
appliances and thus to prevent the
slaughter of their own employees and
the wrecking of passenger trains. 1t
was right to enforce better systems OF
railroad accounting, and more thorough
publicity in respect to all branches Of

railroad financiering and operation. 1t
was right to improve tax laws and
strengthen commissions. But these
things constituted sufficient program
for the present; and it was not at all
advisable to adopt arbitrary legislation
that could be construed as an attempt
to prevent the railroads from making
money. So far as most states are con-
cerned, the 2-cent fare laws will proba-
bly, so increase local passenger traffic
as not to curtail appreciably the carr
ings of tiie roads. But the subject is
one that could have been fairly post
poned. From "The Progress of the
World, in the American Review of

How To Obtain The Services Of the
State Veterinarian.

The Wisconsin Live Stock Sanitary
Board is organized to protect the health
of the live stock of this state, and this
work is done through its executive Off
Ger, the State Veterinarian. In order
to obtain the services and attention of
the State Veterinarian it is necessary
that stock owners call in veterinarian
to examine their stock when ailing, and
if there be found among them disease
of an infectious or contagious nature,
such as tuberculosis, CHAMBERS, anthrax,
black leg, haemorrhagic septicaema,
hog cholera, swine plague, rlnderpest,
foot and mouth disease, pleuro pneu-
monia, actinomycosis or rabies, the
owner or attendant of such stock should
report same to the health officer of
the town, village or city in which the
stock is kept. 1t is then the duty OF
the health officer to make full report
of the case in writing to the State Vet
erinarian.
All such notices must come through
the health officer of the town, village
or city in which stock is kept, in order
to receive attention.

Eliminating the Roosevelt votes,
which are manifestly outside the issue,
because they could easily have been
quadrupled had the voters understood
him as possibility, the runner up
is easily Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin The ballot as prepared men
toned the five names of Cannon, Fair
banks, Hughes, Knox and Taft in
alphabetical order, merely because
they were avowed candidates or had
oeen considered as such by the public
generally. Senator La Follette's name
was not mentioned on the ballot, but
there was no objection tc any one vot-
ing for him as matter of choice, Just
as they voted for Root, Foraker, Cor
telyou, and others who are recognized
as presidential possibilities, but are
hardly classed as active candidates.
Senator La Toilette, under these con-
ditions, is credited with a total of 1886
votes, of which almost exactly one
third came from his home state of
Wisconsin. He has, however, accumu-
lated 200 votes throughout the country
in spite of the handicap of not having
his name printed on the ballot and
thus he easily leads both Cannon and
Fairbanks in the popular estimation
from continental point of view. -

Coming On.

Milwaukee Free Press.
New Jersey Republicans had the hot
test kind Of a state convention last
month, resulting in the nomination Of
Justice John Franklin Fort for gov
ernor.
The contest was between the Regular
Organization and the New Idea Repub-
licans, and 1900 delegates fought it out
to a finish, voting to make it unani-
nous at the end.
Justice Fort is not exactly New
Idea Republican, but he seems to be q
good idea. When he was brought in to
be informed of his nomination and tc
be given an opportunity to accept, he
walked over to the edge of the stage
it was in a big theatre and handed q
sealed envelope to the president of the
convention. The envelope contained
his resignation as justice of the SUI
preme court.
Maybe there wasn't howl of APP
prevail from the convention. Well,
there was. Then Justice Fort announc-
ed that he was no longer member of
the supreme court, but prepared for
the business of the campaign.
In his speech Of acceptance the can
didate. who had not seen the platform
which fails to advocate them said
he believed in direct primary nomina-
tons: in authoritative expression of
the peoples will in the selection of
United States senator's; and in an eff
fective and efficient civil service meas
ure, and in the doctrine of home rule.
The platform favors the taxation of
franchises, the same as of corporate
and individual property showing that
New Jersey Republicans are trailing
along way behind in that important
respect; comprehensive civil service
measure, popular choice of senator's;
separation of state and municipal cleo
tons; reform of the jury system; inn
proved primary system; regulation by
commission Of public utility corpora
tons, effectively and authoritatively. "
New Jersey is backward but it is
coming on. 1t has been boss-ccn-
trolled state for years; and it is not
long since its elections were as openly
corrupt as elections could be. The
writer of this saw at the election that
made Harrison president negroes voted
one at time. the open ballot being
put into glass ballot box" where it
could be seen by the white man voting
them and by the judges of election.
When one negro had been so voted he
was taken out and paid and another
taken in hand and voted; and this by
the leading merchant in the town!

the peanut can be made to yield good
results in Wisconsin, though so far no
one in this state has ever undertaken
to raise peanuts for the market. Once
there was an impression that tobacco
was essentially a crop that could not
proftably be grown north of the Ohio
river; but now Wisconsin and Connect
cut are in the front rank of tobacco
producing states. Therefore it is not
startling, though it is certainly inter
esting, to learn that the sweet potato
may be made to thrive in Wisconsin.

Sweef Potatoes In Wisconsin.

ID. S. Ross, a farmer, formerly of
Iowa, who is settled east of Scion
Springs, in Douglas county, Wisconsin,.
has given his neighbors something to
talk about by raising an excellent crop
of sweet potatoes. He is not the first
man who has demonstrated that the
agricultural possibilities of Wisconsin
have wider range than might be in
ferred from statistics of latitude.
1t has long been known that there
are large areas in Wisconsin where
Irish potatoes, so called, flourish as to
both quantity and quality in degree
unsurpassed anywhere on earth. The
sweet potato has been generally as
sumed to be a southern product par ex-
cellence. If it will grow in Douglas
county, on the northern boundary of
the state, the inference is fair that it
will grow anywhere in Wisconsin under
favorable conditions as to soil. There
are some palates to which its sweet
taste is preferable to the starchy but
unsugary flavor of the more staple and
standard tuber. That it is wholesome
and nourishing is to be deducod from
the historic fact that the sweet potato
was often the sole diet of Marion and
his men in the Revolutionary War. 1t
cannot supplant the Irish potato, but il
may wei! supplement that now indis-
penaable article of diet.
1t has also been demonstrated that

Inc Rod and the Lightning.

"The interpreter" tells the following
story In the August American Magazine:
"The inside story of the Philadelphia
convention of 1900 is q tale Of the high
est comedy. The other day Senator
Plat, that aged political tiger whose
teeth and claws the president has
drawn, very truthfully remarked that bis
soul was sore within him at the recol-
lection that he made Roosevelt presi-
dent No one paid much attention to
the lament. Who cares what the light
ming rod thinks about the lightningP
"But 1t was true. Col. Roosevelt was
elected governor of New York. He pro-
ceeded promptly to make nuisance OF
himself to this extent, that when the con-
vention of 1900 gathered In Philadelphia
Plat appealed to Senator Hanna to &C
complish his political destruction by
making him vice-president. Hanna de-
INJURED. He didn't like Roosevelt.
Plat pointed out that Roosevelt's con-
tinued existence would be terrible In Its
consequences to the New York political
machine and indirectly to the national
organization. There was only one way
to end it. The highest form of political
poison in this country is the vice-presi-
dency. Every man thinks he might sur
vive it, but among the toxicol0gists in
statesmanship it has ever been consider
ed certain death. With many protests
Hanna consented to administer the lethal
dose.
ut was necessary to win over McKin-
Icy. Mckinley objected strongly. He
didn't like Roosevelt either. They were
at the telephone for the better part OF
the day. Finally insistence from Phil
adelphia wore out resistance at Wash
ington. Meanwhile Platt had carefully
prepared the victim by sending delega-
ton to him to voice great public de-
mand' that he accept the nomination.
"T am much obliged to you, Senator
said Platt at the end of the days work.
That's all right said Hanna, but now
that we have taken that fellow off your
back what are you going to do for asT
A little more than year after this &C.
currence there stalked out of God knows
where-out of the mysterious jungle
that has grown up just beyond the
garden wall where civilization has
thrown it's weeds and it's sins to nourish
them withal-the monster who slew the
gentle Mckinley. Roosevelt became
president of the United States and the
scou rge of the very men who had under
faken his overthrow
