TREMPELEAU SOUABBLE.

The outcome of the republican
political spuabble in Trempeleau coun-
ty on assemblyman, WAS exceedingl y
gratifying to those who believe in do
ing that which is right and standing
by the nominees of one's party. AL
bert L. Twesme was the nominee Of
his party at the primary election, his
opponent being Herman Ekern. Elk
ern instead of accepting defeat grace
fully, ran in dependent, refusing to
recognize a primary nomination as
holding and was again defeated, as he
deserved to be, in view of the fact
that he had been one of the prominent
advocates of the primary election Law.
During the campaign, Senator La
Toilette, much to the surprise of his
friends in and out of Trempeieau
county. entered the county and made
four speeches in behalf of EFern and
to defeat the Jaw for which ne, more
than any other man, was responsible.
He claimed that the voters at the
primary election had been Influenced
in their choice by the use of wnisKey
and money-a serious charge to make
against such law-abiding people as
they have in that county. Gov. Dav-
idson went into the county and sus-
tanned the primary election law and
the assembly nominee and won out
and his man was elected. The sena-
.or is fast losing his p estige by mix
ing in when it would be better if he
would refrain from trying to dictate
to the voters. His power of persua-
siveness is thing of the past and he
is losing friends and making political
enemies, arrogant and dominating
course, lost his following in the dom
inant parties; the republicans do not
want him and the democrats would
not take him on bet. No man in
this country ever had brighter
future. but it lis now gone because
of bis lack of gratitude and insincer-
tu

A CORRECTION.

We. members OF the Teachers Corre-
lation association, called on Supt. ID,
II. Christensen Monday to confer with
him, regarding an article In the
News" entitled Woman Book Agent
Victimizlng Mothers" we were I'M
der the impression that Mir. Christen-
son was condemning our work.
Mr.. Christensen stated that he had
not examined the New Practical Ref
erence Library ard had no intention
whatever OF conforming Il. He also
stated that the method of presenting
that work to the parents rs explained
to him Monday, was not fraudulent
or misleading
In defense OF our own integrity aud
reputation for honest dealings, we feel
compelled to say that we carried with
us a written commentator from Mr..
q. w. Mumford of Murray, for the
Hills Practical Reference Work which
has since been added to and changed IN
name to the New Practical Reference
Library. Mr.. Mumford was selected
TO represent the principals because of
the unstinted praise bestowed upon
him by his patrons and because, he. as
one OF the oldest educators of the state,
is so widely known in this city.
The county superintendent also gave
u written recommendation and, so far
as our knowledge goes, has the work
In his own home at the present time.
No other recommendations were ask
ed for though many Of the principals
of the schools have looked the work
ovor.
At any rate 1t would be presump-
ton on the part of any educator to
condemn Unfortunately work
whose contributors are such men as
Nathan c. Shaeffer who is the presi-
dent OF the National Educational as
ISOLATION, and David b. Barrows who
is working under the government as
director of education in the Philippine
Islands. Another contributor, Mr.
Frank b. Cooper, who is so well known
here as Salt Lakes former superinten-
dent, has also acquired national rep
utatlon among educators. In fact all
the contributors, It viii be seen, are
of like repute from all parts OF the
United States.
However, we had confidence enough
in the people of Salt Lake, to take
It for granted that each and every par
ent had good sense enough and could
trust his or her own judgment suf-
ficiently TO appreciate what is set be-
fore them and thoroughly explained
without having the opinion of others
thrust in their faces We trust this
confidence has not been misplaced.
