ENDORSING La TOILETTE.

Reckless, idealistic, aspiring youth
can usually be found behind the man
who fights uphill for principle 1t
is the most natural of things that the
first formal movement to make SEN
ator La Toilette a candidate for presi-
dent in 1908 should be launched by
students of state university. That
it should be the university of Mr. La
Follette's own state is the more cred
liable to the man. 1--WE heartily ap-
prove of the actions of Senator La
Toilette, both as governor and as SEN
ator. AS individuals and as an or
ganization we pledge ourselves to work
for the nomination of Senator La Fol-
lette for president in 1905" This reso-
luton is the text of the La Toilette
presidential club just formed at Madi-
son. In eight years of ceaseless, bit
ter battle Governor La Toilette made
his state the envy of patriotic people
of other states. Beginning with a state
governed largely by the railroads, he
secured just taxation of corporations,
state supervision OF railroad rates, the
right Of the people to make nomina-
tions TO office. and left the state gov
ernment in the hands of the voters.

New York reports the receipt of the
rirst large consignments of denatured
alcohol The product care from the
distilleries at Peoria, and the whole
sale price reduced to a Peoria basis
and not counting the container is 29
cents a gallon. This was fo- an order
of 100000 gallons. The fact that the
product sells SO cheaply under present
conditions and SO soon after the re-
moyal of the tax gives hope that Rep
resentative Marshalps bill amending
the free alcohol law would put alcohol
in position to compete largely with
gasoline and coal OIL Mr.. Marshall's S
bill provides that small distilleries
which make none but denaturized
alcohol may construct cisterns or
tanks into which all distilled spirit
must run, the container to be sealed

MEDICINE AND MORTAL ERROR.

Right is right, and it wrongs no one.
A man who isn't veterinary surgeon
has no business to advertise himself
as such. even if he does know how
much aconite sick horse can swal-
low without killing it outright. If a
man passes for just what he is and
no more, then the man who employs
him does SO at his own risk. In the
matter of the Christian science healer
and the law which proposes to set
him aside, the situation is very differ
ent. This man doesn't pretend to be
a surgeon. He doesn't give medicine,
ference to the other He recognizes
you as an immortal essence tempor-
arily resident in a package of mortal
error. If you have a belief of suffer-
ing, you are the victim of a mortal
miscalculation. You are wrestling with
or bother with sanitary conditions or
with a. knot tied in it. 1t is a mental
one of the many forms of unrealty
deviation from the spiritual normality
The remedy is to straighten you out;
to get you back in line with the eter-
nal verities, and drugs won't do it;
neither will diet, nor Turkish baths, nor
the laying on Of hands, nor the prayers
of those who don't know how to pray
according to the formula of divine
science. There is the plan, and he who
accepts it does so at his own risk. If
he gets well, glory be; If he dies try
ing, who shall say it was the worst
thing that could have happened to
him?

doubt in the minds of judicial OBJ
servers as to the real facts in his case.
doubts that no star chamber investi-
cation by partisan Texas Legislators
can remove. Bailey says there is a
conspiracy on the part of the Standard
Oil company by running him to re-
move their ablest enemy from the SEN
ate. He charges Hearst with assist
ing in this effort in order that Hearst
may get control of the democratic
party in Texas to the disadvantage of
Bryan. But there are damaging ap-
pearanceS on the other side His
ringing in the name Of Bryan has a
demagogic air, for Bailey is not dis
tinguished as friend Of Bryan though
the people Of Texas are. In lending
him money and employing him as at
torney the Standard Oil company and
the railroads may have been stealthily
laying trap for him; and because Of
his refusal to serve them in the senate
they may now be foreclosing a mort
gage which he unconsciously assumed
But Bailey poses as a great man, and
great men are not supposed to be so
simple as this view shows him to have
been. The newer charges assert va
rious acts by which he is alleged to
have turned his official position to his
own profit. A secret session of a leg
islative committee is poor court for
the trial Of such charges. 1t is painful
to think that a conspiracy might eff
face an innocent public man, or that
a man guilty of any or all the charges
against Bailey may be WhiteWashed in
secret. More light is needed here than
we are likely to get.
