Stirring Events-Badger Statesman
Pleads Illness.

Washington, June 5.-The events in
the senate in respect to personal ref
erences to Senator LaFollette had
caused feeling that a storm was
brewing, and nearly every senator
was in his place when the senate was
called TO order.
Contrary to the general expectation
the opening scene when Senator La
Toilette took the floor was quite pa
cific. Senator LaFollette and Senator
Gallinger had friendly exchange Of
words relating to the refusal of the
Wisconsin senator to yield to his New
Hampshire colleague for a question.
Senator LaFollette then said he had
not been sick, but after holding the
floor over five hours did not feel in
condition to continue at night and

Governor Davidson has affixed his
signature to a hill passed by the Wis
consln legislature making swearing a
criminal offense Commenting on the
law, the New York Times says:
The habit of swearing is pernicious,
and, INDUCED in in public places, is very
Objectionable. Nobody doubts that,
not even the people who habitually use
vulgar language. But bad manners
cannot be correct Ted by law. We may
punish needless folks who expectorate
m public places and smoke where smok-
ing is prohibited, because they imperil
the health of the community. But it
would be as sensible to pass law to
prohibit Wisconsin legislators from
eating peas and pie with knife as to
try to check the use of explosives in
common conversation by statute. In
deed, the general course of state legis-
lation throughout the country this last
year has been such as to drive the mild
est-mannered citizen to profanity.

Tolstoy and Roosevelt.

1OlSCOy anu Roosevelt.
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelt's attack
upon Count Tolstoy the New York
Globe says:
1.-The evil seems to be that Tolstoy,
going back to primitive Christianity
for his inspiration, has called the world
to return good for evil, and to fight the
devil, not with his own weapons, but
with righteousness and meek and pa
tient endurance. This ideal of passivity
and of regeneration of the individual
now is denounced as fantastic and as
appealing only to the feeble and the
week. One can imagine how Mr..
Roosevelt. if he had lived 1900 years
ago would have assailed a carpenter of
Nazareth for refusing to compromise
with the better element of the Phari-
sees on the theory that half loaf was
better than nothing. He would doubt
less have ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as an
impractical visionary whose influence,
on the whole, was bad Men of action
Individually have their vices and the
philosophy of opportunism is a good
one for work day world. but it is
seldom that man of action and pro-
fessed opportunism shows the blindness
of Mr.. Roosevelt to the point of Eview
of the idealist. Our former president
and at present lion hunter not only has
no sympathy with Tolstoyism, (which
is natural, but no intellectual under
standing of what tits, which is strange
He is seemingly firmly persuaded that
to contend for the absolute in
conditional world is vicious, and the
basis on. which Tolstoy is condemned
leads inevitably to similar condemna-
ton of practically all of the great re-
ligious teachers except Mahomet. 2

and so mild were both his manner
and his language that there seemed
to be no possibility of any further
clash.
Mild Jolt for Aldrich.
He called attention to the fact that
there were other senators who might
have spoken, including Senator AID
rich, who had promised an explana-
ton of the cotton schedule. Turning
toward Senator Aldrich, Senator La
Toilette remarked that that senator
stood upon this floor as any other
senator"
He forgets it sometimes" he
added. Then referring to the session
of last evening as Sensational" to
such an extent as to obscure the de-
bate of the day which had preceded,

to his state If he would account for

any effort to make me account for my
time"
Clash Is Imminent.
Sitting upright and leaning forward,
Senator Penrose gave close attention
to every word of the senator from
Wisconsin. The possibility of a
severe clash between the two sena-
tors caused their colleagues on both
sides of the chamber to shift their
eyes from one to the other. The gal
leries were crowded and the intense
stiffness seemed to presage on the
part of the audience that scene was
