In THE LEAD

The organization of the Wiscon-
sin legislature, at Madison, last
week, indicates that what is known
as the REPRESENTATION COM
bination continues in the lead, and
that Mr.. Stephenson will be re-elect-
ed to the United States Senate.
Members of the Legislature seem
inclined to take the result of the
primary election seriously, SO far as
the Senatorship is concerned, and
to carry out the recommendation of
the people made under the primary
election law. Of course Mr.. Steph-
enson is not a majority candidate,
but under the primary law he is the
regular Republican nominee. 1t has
been charged in general way that
a gigantic corruption fund secured
the nomin alton of Mr.. Stephenson.
Although we opposed his nomination
it appears to US that the charges of
corruption against him in this con-
nection are too intangible for serious
consideration. That his campaign
expenses were very great there can
be no doubt, but that he went into
any alleged vote market and bought
up voters as the stagers formerly
purchased convention delegates is
not at all probable. IF the primary
election law means anything, it
means Stephenson for the Senate.

The state law requires the renew
al of stallion licenses by the depart
ment of horse-breeding, University
of Wisconsin, Immediately following
January L, every other year. This
means that all licenses issued dur
ing 1907 expired January 1, 1909,
and must be renewed Immediately.
Through an error July l has been
published as the renewal date, and
attention of owners of stations is
therefore called to the correct date
in this connection. Transfers of
st allion licenses should be recorded
in this department Immediately aft
er they are made.

Senator Ernest r. Alderman of
New Jersey is not only engaged in
assisting in the making of the
country's laws but in his leisure
moments is a devotee of stamp col
Letting, being one of the leading
collectors in America. He has been
giving vent to few opinions since
the new issue of stamps was put
out, on which only Franklin's and
Washington's portraits appear, be-
cause the head of Lincoln, the
martyr president, was not included.
This he maintains is especially in
appropriate in view of the fact of
the celebration this next month of
Lincoln's centenary. AS result of
agitation Representative Dawson of
Iowa, has introduced joint reso-
luton providing for the issuance of
a two-cent stamp commemorative of
the birth of Lincoln, and authoriz-
ing the Postmaster General to de-
sign and issue the stamp. The
house committee has already re-
ported favorably on the project.
Certainly if the holding of an ex-
hibition can call forth whole series
of stamps, the anniversary of one
of Americas noblest sons ought to
be sufficient reason for printing at
least one stamp to honor his men,
DRY. 1t would also be an object
lesson of no small worth to the
younger people of the nation.

count that America must approve
when her cousins lose their heads. It
does not even follow that America Iuust
accept the English construction of the
prevailing circumstances that English
power and influence are substantially
threatened. If all Germany's present
program were fulfilled, she would not
to-day be rival to England on the
seas. If England were, meanwhile, to
fulfill her customary program Of naval
increase, Germany would still less be a
rival. War may be imminent. No one
can tell But whether it were to break
today, or in the fateful 1912 we hear
so much about, Germany would be no
match for England and no alliance she
might be able to make would enable
the two nations to cope with England
That was a fine uttersnce in the

finer utterance when the ministry,

The busiest man in Congress, on the
whole, is La Toilette. He is a Senator
which Is enough 70 keep some men
busy: he runs a newspaper, which Is
ample to occupy some other men: ne
has a political feud going On in Wis
consin pretty much all the time. which
furnishes diversion at home, and an
other in progress with the powers OF
the Senate which affords occupation in
the form Of twenty-hOur speeches and
the like now and then. He makes more
stump speeches in a political campaign
than anybody else in Congress, for in
his last guber 1atoria1 fight in his State
he ran two automobiles to the scrap
near and talked I'm every county. town,
and village of the State. He does more
ChautauQua speaking than almost any
other Senator or Representative.
And just at present the Wisconsin
man, who doesn't eat meat and. there
fore, presumably doesn't develop his
highest dynamic efficiency, is leading up
for a great long speech, or. rather,
series of speeches, on the tariff bill.

ROOM FOR THE DECENT AND
THE HUSTLING.

immigration has its bright sides.
A recent issue of the Kansas City
(Nio.) Star prints picture which gives
good idea of how quickly, under
proper conditions, immigrants-even
the poorest of them-whO get out of
the city and seize the many opportuni-
ties the country offers become good
citizens. The picture was taken at La
crosse, Kan. IN it there are ten auto
mobiles, touring cars, runabouts-2n
ne-looking machines. The line under
the picture says:
Every motor car shown in this pic
ture is the property of Russian Menon-
mites, whose parents were poverty
strickeli immigrants a generation ago."
The fathers of these Russian Ameri-
cans came to this country thirty years
ago dressed in the sheepskin clothes Of
their order. They settled in Kansas
and by their industry and perseverance
have made their farms yield valuable
returns, showing the American settler
how to get the best result from the
soil. Their descendants are breaking
away from the old customs and viii in
time beccne thoroughly Amerieanized,
adding another strain TO the many

cosmopolitan people.
The most valuable lesson the picture
teaches = that there is room IN this
country for even the poorest of foreign
ers if they bring with them decent char
acters and desire 10 work. The thing
needed Is to direct their energy and
talent to the right place, away from
the city. and to the land which is cry
