the year ending September 80,
1908, 38I divorces were granted in
| Milwaukee county. In the total,
the wife made the complaint in
1925 cases and the husband in 25I
cases. Cruelty was the cause in
7I2 instances, drunkenness and de-
sertion followed. We venture the
assertion that very few, if any of
the parties were members of any
church., especially of the Roman
Catholic church. Divorces are be-
coming crying evil in this country
especially where there are children
to be effected by the separation of
their parents.
It looks as if we were going to
have a hot political pre-primary
campaign in this state this sum-
mer. It is announced that Cum
Minis and Dolliver of Iowa, Borah
of Idaho, Bristow of Kansas, Clapp
of Minnesota and Beveridge of
Indiana, insurgent senators, are
coming to try and save LaFollette
from defeat. On the administra-
ton side, there will no doubt, be
orators Of national reputation who
will show the shortcomings of the
insurgents and their hostility to the
president and the party he repre-
sents, especially Senator LaF OIL
lette, who has a severe case of
presidential itch which will keep
him scratching like the old harry
for the next two years to get
rid of it.
IT begins to look as if Hon. S.
A. Cook, the Neenah candidate for
United States Senator, had dropped
out OF the race, or was resting
quietly to get fresh start. It
may be, however, that Conner has
an eye on the senate and Cook has
laid down. AS between Conner
and LaFollette, many republicans
will be in the same predicament as
the old negro. A preacher made
the statement in his sermon, that
the straight and narrow way led to
perdition and the broad way down
to the bottomless pit. The negro
listener in his excitement jumped
to his feet and yelled: Mr..
Preacher man, in dat case, this Mig
ger will take to the woods"

RICH THIEVES ESCAPE,

Some one has we'll said, that in
no other country in the world is
there so much law and so little JUS
tice as in the United States. The
poor in our courts are punished
oftimes unreasonably severe, while
the rich, who violate the laws,
escape punishment because they
have the means wherewith to en-
ploy counsel and have their case
finally discharged for want of pros
ecution. Our courts and the pro-
cedure in our courts are becoming
a travesty of justice.

SEES DIFFERENT NOW.

In his Fourth Of July address at
the Chetak Chautauqua, Judge
Levi H. Bancroft of Richland Cen
ter, gave his hearers much to think
about and draw their own conclu-
sions. He said in part:
In the politics of a republic
beware of the man who is wiser
than his party, wiser than the ma
iority, whose combined wisdom
must ever dominate the policy of
the republic, or representative gov
eminent is at an end.
There is a class Of men who
are incapable Of assuming great re-
sponsibility, because of an inner
ent weakness for notoriety. The
light of publicity dazzles their
eyes. They mistake notoriety for
fame, and egotism for ability.
Insurgency without party lines
is rebellion against the will of the
majority. 1t is simply the substi-
tuition of the will of one man for
the will of the majority. This is
not republican government, but the
end of republican government.
Government forms are the direct
result of party organization. The
banding together of men who rep
resent a concrete idea is simply the
organization of a party. All that
has been achieved in government is
the direct result Of party organiza-
ton"
It does not require a very active
inauguration to discern to whom
reference IS made.

GIVING THE BOYS A CHANCE

In no department of human &C
tivity has there been greater
changes in the last few years than
in the treatment of the criminal and
the delinquent young.
The old idea that punishment
was the only cure has been pretty
we'll discarded. The theory that
criminals were criminals, regard
less of age or environment, has
also been relegated to limbo. AS
a result what might be called an
entirely new school of juvenile
criminology has grown up, school
in which fresh air and green trees
and promise Of the future are i'm
portant considerations.
Walker Moren, deputy prosecut-
ing attorney Of Yakima county,
Washington, has recognized this
new school, Instead OF sending
two lads convicted of petty offenses
to the reform school, he took them
to his ranch, gave them good
clothes and food and set them to
work. Instead of making trouble
they made good, and give every
promise of making useful and law
abiding citizens.
In other words, these two bows
were literally saved: whereas, if
they had gone to the reformatorv,
in all probability, they would have
been lost.
There is no such thing as bad
boy" says Judge Lindsey, there
is only the boy who hasn't had
chance.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The dilatory course of the Fed
eral Supreme Court of hearing ar
guments in important cases Of a
national character and then DELAY
ing in rendering a decision until
one or more of the members of the
court are gathered to tn cir fathers
and the matter has to be heard
again, is one of the crying evils of
the time. If seven justices cannot
tell in a few hours with the author
tiles before them what is justice
and equity, it would be we'll to put
a few farmers on the bench who
can see the right without the help
of a few tricky lawyers.
The first set of divorce statistics
ever prepared in Wisconsin shows
a condition of which the people
certainly have no reason to be
proud. The number of divorces
granted has jumped from hfty-one
in 1892 to 1916 in 1908, and for

A COMMUNICATION
FAIR PLAY For TAFT.

The first session of Congress
under the Taft administration ended
two weeks ago with a record OF
achievement, in the line of legis-
lation for the benefit of the public
unparalleled IN years.
The session began December s,
1909, and ended June IS, 1910.
The total number of bills intro
duced was 36,677 and the total
number passed, I25.
The record of achievement is a
a sufficient answer to the unpre-
cedented volumes of abuse from a
hostile press and restless public
and vindicates William H. Taft
in his determined effort for the
redemption of the pledges made in
the last Republican national plat
form.
Congress enacted amendments to
the interstate. commerce law, eX-
tending the powers of the govern
ment over common carriers and
establishing a court of claims to
which common carriers and the
public may appeal in disputes.
1t passed the postal savings bank;
provided for a tariff commission
and a commission to inquire into
the issue of stocks and bonds by
railroads; establishing a bureau OF
mines, and legislated for the pub
licity of campaign contributions.
1t took steps to further the con-
servation of natural resources by
granting the president the author
ity to withdraw certain lands from
entry In accordance with the goy-
ernment's conservation policy; in
creased the safeguards required for
the protection of railway employees
and railway travel; provided a
tariff system for the Philippines
and increased the appropriation for
the department of justice to pro-
vide for the strict. enforcement of
the Sherman antitrust law.
In legislating for the peoples in
terest, the session created prac-
tically a new epoch, while the
changes in the house rules were
such as will work for a larger
measure Of popular government
when the attempts to use them for
the disruption Of the majority or
ganization shall have ceased.
Throughout the country there
are unmistakable signs of revul-
sion Of sentiment following the
abuse of President Taft, the change
coming as a direct result of the
record made by the administration
in securing the passage Of admin
stration measures during the clos
ing months of the session lust
ended.
The Chicago Tribune, which has
been inclined toward the side of the
insurgents, says:
The party is stronger before
the people than it was three months
ago. So is President Taft. He
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1910-07-08

can point with honest pride to til
legislative achievements of the frs:
year and a third of his term. In
spite of the strife within the party,
he was able to get more Legislation
from MS congress than Mr.. Roose-
welt got from his last. The legis-
lation which he has secured, to the
making Of which both insurgents
and regulars contributed, will have
their practically unanimous support
before the people.
The Milwaukee Free Press,
speaking Of the record, says:
When the history of this year
comes to be written from the want
age ground of the future, we doubt
not that the work of this session OF
congress will be adduced as the
first great practical achievement Of
the so-called progressive'' move
ment, whose aim is redemption Of
government from control or privi-
lege and special interest and its
complete restoration to the people.
And with that achievement the
name of Taft, the quiet, harmonic
ing, constructive and effective pres
ident, will forever be linked.
The Milwaukee Sentinel has this
editorial camment upon this SEES
sion:
The concrete achievement OF
President Taft in the special SEES
sion and the first regular session
at this congress easily exceeds, nu-
merically and in importance, what
Mr.. Roosevelt accomplished in
seven sessions of Congress-"
Of course we are not ascribing
all the credit of this accomplish
ment to the president. He is not
the legislature, and to the legisla-
ture belongs the lions share of
credit for wise legislation.
But in SO far as any president
can be entitled to credit for initiat-
ing and procuring legislation Pres
ident Taft is entitled to it, and
some of the laws we're peculiarly
of his instance and progress.
