Chance to Write for the Paper.

Who has not at times had ideas which
he or she would like to see in some
newspaper? Many good thought has
slumbered in the brain of the thinker
because of the difficulties and rebuffs
which are always supposed to lie in the
path to the editorial sanctum. The
Chicago Record Herald, however, well
comes such ideas and has page in
its Sunday issue called ''The Battle
Ground of Modern Thought, which is
devoted exclusively to letters from its
readers. The best articles received
each week are carefully edited and
printed over the writer's names. The
amount Of really valuable matter that
finds its way into the department is re-
markable, and is proof that the ability
to write well and entertainingly is not
confined to professional writers. The
only restriction The Record Herald puts
upon writers for this interesting page
is that articles must be of controver-
sal nature and devoted t. the discus
sion of some current topic.

SENATOR STEPHENSON.

Isaac Stephenson was duly awarded
by our state legislature the United
States senatorial toga recently discard
ed by the Hon. John G. Spooner. 1t was
the result Of the 85th ballot
AS its readers know the Tribune s
first choice for senator was Congress
man Cooper, but we can cheerfully join
in the spirit of satisfaction that per-
vades the entire state over the election
of Mr.. Stephenson. Mr.. Cooper is still
congressman and the peer of the ablest
member Of that great intellectual body
and possibly Wisconsin would have
gained but little, if any, by switching
him to the senate, as thereby the loss
in the house of representatives would
be difficult to recoup.
The victory of Stephenson is regard
ed as a personal triumph for Senator
LaFollette, who did everything in his
power from the beginning to have the
Marinette man nominated and elected.
1t is probably one'of the most notable
of the senator's long list Of political
victories since he became factor in
Wisconsin politics.
Mr.. Stephenson is no tyro in matters
legislative. He served three terms in
the lower house Of Congress, beginning
in 1882, and gained during that time a
thorough knowledge of what one needs
to be or not to be if he would represent
his state well and successfully
Politically Mr.. Stephenson was for
merly Wing, but, upon the organiza-
ton of the Republican party, 1856, join
ed its ranks, and has since then been
one Of the staunchest advocates of the
doctrine Of true Republicanism. In 1856
cage and peddled tickets for John G..
Fremont and has been one OF the lead
ers in the movement in Wisconsin of
which LaFollette has been the head,
and no man has been more influential in
bringing about the great reforms now
credited to the movement. A staunch
friend to LaFollette and a believer in
the principle Of government by the peo-
pie rather than by the corporations, he
has given his great influence and con
tributed generously.
The new senator will be 7S years ole
on June Is. Most Of his life he has spent
in Wisconsin. He knows the Badger
state from its peak in Lake Superior t,
its base in Lower Michigan, He know;
its brooks its rivers, its big and little
island seas. He knows its forests now
about gone its farms, its villages
krowns and cities. He knows its harbor,
oolnd It's bays. He knows its people, THEN
families in many instances, and then
histories.
Mr.. Stephenson stands as The perfect
type of generous, symmetrical man
hood All his life he has been an exem-
plification of all that is best in the hui
man heart and soul. He is courteous and
transformations to a marked degree.
None is SO poor as to be refused a kind
ly word from him. He is proud of his
early labors, and delights to recall the
days when with broad AK he, shoulder
to shoulder with his men, attacked the
virgin forests. He has now in his pos
session an AK handle made by him in
lS4S, and which he used occasionally
until 1877, Although possessed of wealth
he never has INDUCED in outside show.
but has preferred to live as man
among men.

ANOTHER railroad accident due to a
broken rail is reported near Chicago.
Which furnishes further confirmation
of that recent theory that poor quail

few years is responsible for a large
number of the train wrecks that have
