The st. Paul public library is consider

The st. Paul public library is consider
. TIE adoption Of a new feature which
first sight locks like very good one.
It is proposed to install supply OF
children's games, to be loaned out on
same conditions as books. The library
authorities recognize t he fact that
children will not accept the works of
Shakespeare and Emerson for regular
diet. Their immature minds demand
much in the nature of amusement and
recreation. This demand is supplied to
some extent by the voiuminous array
of so-called children's books, but the
mental range or many of these books IS
narrow and their manner insipid and
monotonous. The better class of games
not only furnish amusement, but also
serve as mental stimulants. Used
moderately they refresh and invigorate
the mind. Most children tire of a
given game in a couple of weeks, and
it is expensive to supply new ones so
frequently, while the library can sup
ply an. immense variety at compar-
atively small cost per child.

One of the most astounding marvels
of all ages seems about to be unravelled.
The deadly poisonous venom of the
rattlesnake seems about to prove itself
a certain cure for consumption. Ex-
periments in Philadelphia afford great
hopes that it will yet prove cure for
this hitherto deadly disease and take
away all it's former dread We may
wonder at the miracles of our Saviour
but what more marvellous conception

be held, and propose to trim off and
reform the legislation where imperfec-
tions have been shown by experience.
Practically the only new legislation
asked is a second choice primary ballot
and laws restricting the use of large
sums of money in politics.
What reason do Stalwarts give for
asking control of the government of the
state? Do they wish to repeal this
reform legislation that was enacted by
the Progressives? Do they wish Wis
consin to go back to the old political
convention, to the railroad pass system
whereby quarter of the travellers rode
free, at the expense of the remaining
three quarters? Do they wish to give
back to the railroads the right to grant
rebates to their favorite shippers and to
discriminate between towns in rates
charged? The present day Stalwarts
not being honest enough to state their
intentions, voters can only draw in

past history. Having formerly bitterly
opposed the legislation referred to, and
never having renowned that opposition,
the only natural inference is that if put
into power they would repeal it, If
this is not their object, they have no
excuse for existence, and should stay
buried and save the expense of another
funeral.

Mrs. O. H. p Belmont gave her

there is a difference of opinion as to
what is the right thing, it would seem
proper for a candidate to take the
voters into his confidence by openly
announcing his position. Leading Stall

1t is reported that when Mr.. Lund
was asked if he were a Stalwart he
replied, ''You can't prove that am
one. ;" We believe the original of that
form of answer was made by Boss
Tweed, who at one time controlled
New York politics. When accused of
corruption of various kinds, Tweed did
not deny the charges, but said, "You
can't prove it. In Tweeds case it
was ultimately proved, and history
sometimes repeats itself.

Wisconsin is the only state in the
country that RENTED state tax in
recent years From 1903 to 1908,
through LaFollette's efforts, the tax
payers of Wisconsin were saved S., 1928,
10000. Nearly one million dollars a
year. This splendid result was due to
the reform laws that are so much crit
icized by the corporation press and
stalwart candidates. The record was

Poor old Milwaukee Sentinel Faded
relic of the days when political piracy
was as respectable as maritime piracy
was in the days of Good Queen Bess. F"
It's bleared eyes cannot perceive the
change that has come over the face
of the political world, and it gropes
blindly for landmarks. Realizing that
it is no longer any use to roar about the
glory of the flag, . spauper made
goods, :" grand old party" ETC., t
founders in a mess of meaningless
phrases, tripping itself at nearly every
step. A few weeks ago it announced
in faring headlines that Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman, Ex-Congressman Wat
son, and other distinguished and ex-
tinguished outside statesmen had come
into Wisconsin to instruct US in political
matters. That news was heralded as
"glad tidings of great joy, . that these
gentlemen should come into the state
and tell us what political dope we need
for our ailments.
More recently, number of men of
national reputation, including Senator
Bristow, of Kansas, and Judge Lindsey.
of Colorado, have spoken in this state
in support of the reelection of Senator
LaFollette. Immediately the Sentinel

Will someone who is on the inside
please tell US what the Stalwarts of
Wisconsin stand for politically? What
legislation do they wish enacted, or
what laws do they wish repealed? Are
they fighting for any political principle,
or are they simply hungry for office and
aching for revenge?
There was a time when StalWarts
stood for definite policy, and what
ever we may think of that policy or of
many of the methods adopted to for
ward it, the Stalwarts of those days at
least had the frankness and honesty to
state their position on the issue of the
day. They openly opposed the primary
law, the railroad taxation law, the rail-
road commission law, the >nti-pass
law, and other progressive measures
championed by LaFollettee and his
followers.
In spite Stalwart opposition,
these progressive laws have been placed
upon Wisconsin statute books. They
have been in force long enough to test
them fairly. While minor defects have
been found, as is the case in respect to
all new legislation, we know of no
prominent man who has the hardihood
to argue against the principle of any Of
these laws. Stalwarts admit that the
laws ara riUht br1t continua IN Iamhaet
the men who framed them.
Progressives are not at this time ask
ing for important new legislation.
They insist that ground already gained

Speaking of the assembly situation,
a not uncommon topic of conversation,
here is something worth thinking OF.
Members of the legislature are reap
portioned after each Federal census, so
the next legislature will re-district the
state. Owing to constitutional restric-
tions, part of one county cannot be
Joined with another county to form an
assembly district, so we cannot any
longer remain joined to Chippewa
county, but will be joined to some
other adjoining county, probably Saw
yer. If an assemblyman is chosen
from this county this year, it will be a
distinct advantage n the campaign
two years hence. This fact makes it
extremely DESTROYS that Rusk County
man be elected. Under present condi-
tions it is morally certain that only one
of the Rusk County candidates stands
show of nomination. There is but
one way of assisting toward getting an
assemblyman from this county
for c. P. Ellingson.

1t appears that the assassin of Mayor
Gaynor lost $500 on the Jeffries- John
son fight, and had been drinking heavily
for some weeks before committing the
crime. Of course, these facts have
no bearing in the matter, they are
simply condolences. Isn't it unfortun-
ate that criminals so frequently chap

Cannon spent last week at a summer
resort in Michigan, saying he was try
ing to become a boy again. Come to
think of it, those speeches he made in
Kansas sounded extremely boyish.

When Cannon was asked his opinion
of the sweeping victory of the Insur-
gents in the Kansas primaries, he re-
fused to say anything. Noting the
extent of the victory, and recalling
Uncle Joe's habits of speech, it is
readily seen that nothing he could say
would be printable.

SCHOLARLY POLITICS

There is more than passing significance in
the announcement of Woodrow Wilson that, if
offered the nomination Governor of New
Jersey, he will accept ii at the hands of the
Democracy. President Wilson is his own type
of politician, as certainly as Theodore Roosevelt
established new method of political success. He
has in public statement the intrepiditv of the
scholar, that permits a man to say a revolution
AIRY thing in a sane and reasoned manner. He
weighs his words, and lets them fly. lie is not
awed by power or by wealth He has preached
the gospel as he has construed il out of his
He makes general deductions the vehicle of
specific recommendations. If he has determined
to be politician it was because he was first 3
socologist. There is nothing small or evasive
in his philosophy. He approaches matters which
press al dozen battling points for solution from
the attitude of one who wants nothing Of them
for himself, hut who is yet ready to believe that
with opportunity he could contribute to their
settlement There is an infusion of self-confi-
dence missing conceit in Dr. Wilson's attitude
toward public questions that may operate pow
crfnIlv upon the future.
OF course the present decision to stand for tho
Goveruorship of New Jersey is tantamont to
The expression of an ambition 10 stand for the
PRESIDENCY OF lHe Nation. 4 ne lHCt OPENS up an
interesting speculation and suggests still another
change in sentiment of far reaching possibilities.
Since Cleveland, the country has not had Pres
ident who was statesman first and politician
afterward, or rather capable of forgetting
politics in craftsmanship. President Woodrow
Wilson's politics is the child of his personal idea
of craftsmanship. Should he become formid-
able political entity, he would be as capable as
Cleveland of sacrificing his future to necessity.
He would typify an ideal of public service, not
perhaps the ideal of political expediency, but the
sane and fearless rule which must sooner or later
come to obtain in the performance of public
duties ..
So far from prophesying President Wilson's
nomination for the Presidency, have serious
doubt that he will even be permitted to contest
for the Governorship of New Jersey. The Jer-
seyite is as a rule practical man and brother.
He is concerned with the fishes more than with
the sermon. He wishes action upon the returns
on which he may place finger, as careful
housewife thumbs piece of meat In no State
in the Union could there be found an equal de-
gree of sentiment forestalling the crusade of q
political purist. President Wilson will probably
find that the Jerseyman admires college pres
ident at distance, but is quite willing to let
him attain a slow growth in academic shades
