LA TOILETTE NOW LEADS.

After a careful poll of the presi-
asztial possibilities for 1908, the Chi
-asS Tribune yesterday announced
Ez1t Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
M has taken a position near the head
& the list of candidates and that he
zoB has a much better chance for the
ao1uination than Garfield mad in
isBS.
The Tribune has not been a La
toilette paper and its poll of the sit
ration is absolutely unbiased and is
sesieved 10 show strongly the trend
ss public sentiment.
Ia Toilette is the Roosevelt type
%1 a man; Taft is not. La Toilette
has initiated and executed vital re-
oS-ns: Taft has not. La Toilette is
n rigorous, fearless, aggressive fight
er for the rights of the people; Taft
q aot now and never has been. 1t is
xaFe to believe that he never will be.
The west loves the La Toilette and
Roosevelt type of men. They stand
EBr something. They have person.

shat is right and square and they

Oregon will doubtless send a La
Palette delegation to the national re-
pubIcan convention. The sentiment

aeTer has been strong in Oregon. AS
Iszg as there was any hope for Roos-
rvetrs denomination, all Oregon had
hEm in view, then when It became ev-
ident that Roosevelt would not run
ssain, Taft's friends doomed him dill
serntly. but public sentiment, the
Ssr1n. sympathetic sentiment of the
people has never been with Taft.
X Toilette is a man of the people;
be vas a poor boy struggling for an
edac1tion. fighting his way through
Gl1tieulties when he was called to his
aus office because Of his sterling

pespie as a young man Of character

Shall you complain, who feed the
world,
Who clothe the world, who home the
world,
Shall you complain, who are the
world
OF what the world may do?
As from this hour you show your
power,
The world must follow YOU.
The worlds life lies in your right
hand,
Your strong right hand, your skilled
right hand;
You hold the whole world in your
hand,
See to 1t what you do!
Or dark or light, or wrong or right,
The world is made by you.
Then rise as you never rose before
Or hoped before, or dared before,
And show as was never shown before
The power that lies in you.
Unite as one, see justice done;
Believe and dare and do

THE acts of individual men have sometimes

II might have been has served a text for
ages In this connection Lord EoSchcrv- IN
an address at Glasgow University some wears

speculation
Had the elder Pitt when he became Prime
Minister. not left the House ot Commons. he
could doubtless have induced George III to
listen to reason, introduced American repre-
ScntatIon into Parliament, and preserved the
thirteen colonies To England The new blood
of America would have burst the old vessels
OF the constitution, and provided self adj
Iustlng system of representation There would
have been no war ot separation, no war OF
1872, and finally, when the Americans be
came Il majority. the Empire would perhaps
have moved solemulv across the Atlantic, and
Britain become a historic shrine. the European
outpost of the Empire.
To this there may he added the element of
chance exemplitied IN the blunder ot a
copvist.-a blunder that had an important
bearing the result of our for indepeu-

military between Great Britain and the re
