NE the American people are looking
for man who will not only carry
n out the Roosevelt policies, but win
go the wielder of the big stick one
better, they can find the man In Sena-
tor Robert M. La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin. La Toilette has been lighting the
railroads, the political bosses and the
corporation tax dodgers for more than
fifteen years. He is an ardent advocate
of all the presidents measures and
some others. He kept fighting until he
whipped the trusts, the grafters and
the political corruptionists In Wiscon-
sin, and his friends think he has the
ability and the staying power to re-
peat the performance in the nation.
La Toilette is of presidential size
even though he is only five feet four.
Any man who can tie himself to q
great principle and remain there for a
lifetime has in him the stuff of which
leaders are made. No man is fit to lead
others until he himself can follow
truth. The idea for which the Wiscon-
sin man has stood is that Of taking the
government OUT of the hands Of the
selfish interests that have seized 1t and
of placing it again in the hands of the
people, where it belongs. He has dared
to stand for that idea unswervingly, to
advocate it by voice and by act, and
when the American people get ready
to scourge the thieves from the temple
and to reclaim their rights they will
not forget men like La Toilette.

that produced a Collgny In the old
world and that gave so many sturdy
pioneers to the new. Young La Fol
lette spent his boyhood on farm, but
entered college In 1874. AS his father
was dead and his mother in compare
tive poverty, this was no easy task.
The problem was solved in charae-
teristic manner Taking all the money
he could scrape together, the young
man bought the college paper, which
then was not paying. To 1t he devoted
so much energy and ability that he
made it carry him through a four
years course and keep his mother and
family besides. Despite all the time
he devoted to the paper. he kept up in
his studies and won the championship
in an interstate oratorical contest.

Worked For the People.

If they desire, however, the services
Of one who will work for them rather
than for their enemies, why not take
one who has worked for them and
against their enemies in the past?
The representatives OF predatory III
terests In the United States senate
tried to haze La Toilette. That should
be a very high recommendation for
him In the eyes Of the honest people of
the land. The surest sign of a mans
political virtue is to have hue and
cry raised against him by the ''preds."
That name of pred" which l be-
lieve to be original, is submitted as a
proper designation for those who de-
sert their country to serve the trusts.
1t is a shorter and not so ugly word
as traitor or renegade, appellations
w}1lch are liable to come into use I'M
Ie1ss some more polite substitute Of this
sort is adopted. pred" could be made
to apply both to the trust and the trust
agent to the briber, the bribed and the
"yellow dog go-between. The big
criminal who manages to keep out Of
jail, the CRATER who poses as respect
able, the lobbyist who pretends to be
an attorney and the machine boss who
serves his own pocket could all be
known as "preds." The name, like
charity, would thus cover many sins.
Senator In Follette,s life has been
devoted to battle with the "preds."
They have learned to hate him because
he whips them. When the trust or
gans adopt an indulgent and tolerant
attitude toward a reformer you may
be sure 1t is because they can either
buy him or beat him. They can do
neither with La Toilette, hence the
yituperation.

The same determination which en-
abled the man to make assault after
assault until he finally defeated the
railroads and the machine In Wiscon-
sin rendered it possible for the boy to
make his way, keep his mother. edit a
paper, carry on his studies and win a

four years. The world presents for

will and overcame 1t in many battles.

he went to congress, where he served

until 1890. During his last term he
was on the ways and means committee
and helped frame the Mckinley bill.
For his part In that piece Of legislation
he went down under the Democratic
tidal wave of 1890 and remained down
for several years. The next time he
started not with the machine, but
against 1t and has gone much further
to the front than he did before. His
successive battles with the railroads
and politicians form story of intense
interest 1t is told with the hope that
1t may stimulate others to make the
same sort Of war on the selfish inter
ests IL ether states.
The contest. began In 1894. In that
year La Toilette entered the lists for
Nils Haugen, the antimachlne candi-
date for governor. In the Dane county
primaries the first districts all went
against La Toilette. This continued
until nearly half Of the county had
been heard from, and he had not a
single delegate. To win he had to car
ry all the rest of the districts. His
lleutenants were In despair and pro-
posed giving up the fight.
Gentlemen" said La Toilette, you
can do as you please, but I'm going to
carry all the remaining primaries in
Dane county If have to crawl to them
on my knees"
He did carry them. He was Hau-
gems chief lieutenant on the door and,
though not successful, prepared the
way for future fights.
From 1896 to 1899 La Toilette suf-
fered from a malady that kept him in
bed large portion Of the time. De-
spite this fact. he organized victory dur
Ing those very years. In 1893 he was
a candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor. The politicians beat him, but he
forced them to place In the platform his
pet plank of a primary election law.
The lobby shamelessly defeated this in
the succeeding legislature.

mettlesome horses at furious pace while standing erect on the back of the hind most two, feat not accomplished before by any man.
 Marin achieved his triumph after twen- ty years of experiments in arranging his reins. M. Soulie, the ablest equestrian In i Europe, tried to drive ten horses, but abandoned the effort as hopeless. Other equestrians failed. Marin came to America in 1853 and met great success, and on his return to Paris continued practicing with indomitable application. He harnessed his horses three abreast making fifteen; passed the reins through rings attached to the surcingle of each middle horse, making only four reins for the fifteen; two reins were used for the steeds bear ing the driver. Thus Marin used only six reins for the guidance of seventeen horses, whereas before it had been thought neces- sary to use a rein for each separate horse
 Marin demonstrated that he could drive with equal facility fifty horses by this simple arangement, standing on the backs of the hindmost two. He dressed like the Prince of Darkness, with two horns upon his head and rode like mad. He would enter the arena in canter, make a circuit of the course and then go at full speed till the hair of the specta- tors stood on end. The most peril ous part of the exhibition was the exit from the arena, the horses then being In state of great excitement; but no ac- cident occurred.
