A friend that will save you three
fourths the work and all the drudgery of
washing is friend indeed.
Fels-Naptha is that friend.
Bring it into your laundry and kit
chen, give it chance TO do the work
you've been pounding out by main
strength, and FelS- Naptha will be your
close friend-not for a month or year,
but for life.
Fels-Naptha saves you not only work
and time, both summer and winter, but
makes your clothes Sweeter and cleaner,
preserves them, makes them wear longer.
1t saves you the coal or gas necessary
to heat water and boil the clothes, as
Fels-Naptha does its cleansing in cool or
lukewarm water.
All that's necessary on your part is to
follow the easy directions printed on the
red and green wrapper.

{ IN A Madison dispatch to the New
York World it is recited that Senator
Stephenson's political experience has
been costly. Outside of the two sena-
torial campaigns, his devotion to the
cause of La Toilette, now his enemy, is
said to have cost him ST, 900, 600. He
told friend three years ago that he
had spent $500, 900 to keep newspaper
alive in La Follette's interest. The
newspapers of the country are filled
with stories of Stephenson lavish ex-
penditures in politics. 1t is phase of
the wisconsin idea that is not cal
culated to appeal to the pride of the
people of Wisconsin. Nor is there
much opportunity for Mr.. La Toilette
to redeem the states reputation by a
Spartan fight against Mammon. For
the fact remains that considerable
part of the money spent by Stephenson
was expended in the La Toilette cause
and that Stephenson's aspiration to be-
come a United States senator was not
realized until Mr.. La Toilette and his
supporters obtained control of the leg
islature and elected him to the office as
a reward for his sacrifices to
1.-THE cause. !" The people of Wisconsin
well may pray to be delivered from the
money-bag politics that Stephenson
typifies, but there is little promise that
we shall reach such happy deliverance
until some means may be found where
by the progressive movement may be
sustained without being financed by
money bugs with an itch for office. ~

AND now the time has come when
the average reader grows weary OF see
inc the number and kind of bills that
are offered in the legislature by the
members. Their number is legion and
their intent as various. Generally there
is some concealed purpose behind,
known only to the few who are to profit
by their enactment. All judges and re-
formers cry out against this multlpll-
cation of new laws, but the work OF
creating them goes on more rapidly
than ever. 80

THE Wisconsin Telephone company
has purchased the property of the Wall
worth County Independent Telephone
company, which had its headquarters at
Delavan, Wis, as result of the recent
failure of the Independent company,
which turned over its property to M. G.
Jeffries. Mr.. Jeffries was not tele-
phone man, and at once arranged to
dispose of the Delavan company's prop
erty to the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany. The Walworth County company
had plant of considerable extent at
one time, but did not charge enough
for the service to pay expenses, and
the result was that the lines were not
kept up, patronage dropped off, until
at the time of the failure there were
only 200 subscribers left. At one time
the company had plant at Elkhorn,
and from the time of the organization
of the company ten years ago until its
failure, about $780, was invested at
Delavan and the surrounding country.
A farmers company with headquarters
atsElkhorn took over the properties of
the company there When the COM
pany began to get into financial straits
bonds were issued and the proceeds put
into improvements. When the interest
on the bonds was not kept up, Mr.. JEFF
fries foreclosed on his mortgage, and
has now sold the property. The fail
ure of the company was essentially due
to the fact that the rates were below
the cost of producing the service.

We SUSPECT the Eagle editor doesn't
keep close grasp upon the senatorial
situation at Madison when he intimates
that Assemblyman Whittet is opposed
to an investigation of Isaac Stephen
sons expense account If he had taken
the trouble to inform himself he could
have learned that Mr.. Whittet intro
duced a resolution in the assembly de-
manding the investigation which passed
that body by large vote. 1t is true
Mr.. Whittet voted against the Blaine
resolution, as did very large majority
of the assembly, and it should also be
said that the senate has refused to con-
cur In the Whittet resolution for an IN
vestigation. There is more TO this
political game than appears on the sur
face, but it is not true that Mr.. Whit
tet is opposed to an investigation that
will investigate. His position is clearly
set forth in the following: AS re-
publican member of the legislature l
am instructed under the primary law
to vote for Isaac Stephenson. Legls-
lators in Wisconsin are in much the
same position as presidential electors:
Never in the history of the United
States has a presidential electori failed
to carry out the instructions given. To
reIuSe TO vote loI locaC osCPhCiiooi a.
this time is to assume that he is
guilty until he is proved innocent
while the contrary is quite the rule
every person is presumed innocent until
his is proved guilty. / believe Isaac
Stephenson should be elected U. S.
senator by virtue of the instructions
given by the people of Wisconsin; that
in view of the charges made thorough
s investigation should be had. Should
the findings of the committee warrant
they shall be attached to the certificate
of election. The senate OF the u. 5.
being sole Judge of the qualifications OF
its members, can then take such action
as their judgment may dictate. This,
it seems to me, is the logical position.
