EF the American people are looking

better, they can find the man in Sena-
tor Robert NJ La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin. La Toilette has been fighting 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 a
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 it 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.

until 1890. During his last term be
was Oh 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 it and has gone much further
to the front than he did before His
successive battles with the railroads
and politicians form a 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 in other states.
The contest began in 1894. In that
year La Toilette entered the lists for
Nils Haugen, the antimachine 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
9lGuLSudulS were III despair. ana pro-
posed giving up the fight.
Gentlemen" said La Toilette, s.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 floor 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 1898 he was
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.

lowest point in his career. Sick, de-

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 in
terests in the United States senate
tried to haze La Toilette. That should
be 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 1 be-
lieve to be original, is submitted as a
proper designation for those who de-
sert their country to serve the trusts
1t is shorter and not so ugly a word
as traitor or renegade. appellations
which are liable to come into use un-
less 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 La 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 reformer you may
be sure it is because they can either
buy him or beat him. They can do
neither with La Toilette. hence the

world and that gave SO many sturdy

lette spent his boyhood on farm, but
entered college in 1874. As his father
was dead and his mother in compare

The problem was solved in charac-

he could scrape together. the young
man bought the college paper. which
then was not paying. To it he devoted
so much energy and ability that he

he devoted to the paper. he kept up in
his studies and won the championship
in an interstate oratorical contest.

bringing it's valuable sea-bird species close to the point of extinction.
 Both men and boats of the staunch- est sort are required for the perilous work of patrolling the reefs and rocks of the nesting birds in all winds and weather. Some seven thousand dollars wer devoted by the Audubon workers last year to providing this protection against poachers for the defenceless birds on their breeding grounds. To extend this service to the new refuges, which the government has just ceded. several thousands of dollars more will be required. Beyond paying the war dens a dollar a month for the pur- pose of their nominal control, the fed eral authorities have left the entire burden of maintaining this little army of bird guards upon the National As sociation of Audubon Societies.
 Just what New York city would soon become without its street cleaning de- partment. ornithologists asserted here to-day, the entire seaboard regions of American will soon be. if the water fowl are allowed to approach extinc- tion much longer As scavepgers, the sea birds are the only agents that stand between the people of this coun- try and pestilence they declare. Once the birds become so few as to allow the coast refuse to accumulate, the en- tire country will stand in grave danger of being swept by plague.
 Only the annual five-dollar bills of less than a thousand members of the National Association of Audubon Soci- cites to-day support the extensive work of this body, of which the econ omic movement to preserve the na- tion's sea fowl is only small part. With these and the limited endowment at their command the workers of the association are to-day unable to carry out adequately the work of preserving the sea fowl, which has become na- tional in scope. Unless several thous- and persons, representing every sec tion of the country. enroll with these Audubon workers this year much in the economic campaigns which de- nand their support must be left un- done.
