eyes of the nation are turned toward
La Toilette as the probable Republican
leader. If the Republican party is to
continue upon the progressive course
it has set out along, La Toilette is the
logical leader. He has stood the test
in Wisconsin, has obliterated one Of the
strongest political machines of recent
times, has secured the enactment of
much salutary legislation, and at the
end of ten years as governor and sena-
tor has the almost unanimous support
of the state. In the u. S. Senate he
has given the money changers whole
some scare and has largely contributed
to the unseating of many OF them;
starting single handed he has gathered
about him a group of Progressives who
in the present Congress were able to
wiring from the machine much in the
way Of reform legislation. He is a
man who stands the test of time,
whose strength with the people con-
stantly increases. Increased acquaint-
ance means increased confidence in
him. All things considered, it would
seem that La Follette's chances for the
presidency in 1912 are exceedingly
bright, and a movement with that OBJ
ject in view has been already started.

POSTAL
SAVINGS BANKS

Do you recall the high sounding
phrases used in the national platforms
of 1908 with reference to postal savings
banks? At that time both the leading
parties were extremely solicitous re-
garding the welfare of the thrifty
laborer who would not trust private
banks, but slowed his savings in a
stocking or tin can. The Republican
party declared itself in favor of pos
tai savings system for the conven-
fence of the people and the encourage
ment OF thrift. The Democratic de-
ciaration was to the same effect, but
more vuruose. Possibly you alao re-
call the suloke and red fire and blare OF
1rumpel IS that attended the passage Of
the alleged postal savings bank bill,
and the newspaper columns that We're
filled with fulsome adulation Of said
bill by alleged reformers. Those of us
who truthfully and implicitly rely on
the statements of the "safe and sane"
patters, believed that the financial
problem had at last been solved, that
a flood of gold and greenbacks would
pour from secret recesses in chimney
cupboards into postal savings banks
and from thence find its way into the
channels of trade and commerce, swell
ing the volume of currency and check
ing the aerial tendency of prices.
Alas for the hopes of yester year!
The hopes aroused by the aforesaid
statesmen now lie as shriveled as the
roses that decked the desk of Speaker
Cannon at the opening of the 6lst Con-
gress. Many moons have come and
gone since the bill was passed, but the
postal bank seems no nearer than the
resignation of Secretary Ballinger.
The latest announcement is that some
time in the far distant future forty
eight postoffices will be designated to
receive savings deposits. Think of the
convenience" of 48 banks for 80, 600,
QUO people-one bank for each 1875,
900 people! Picture to yourself the
laborer in Superior or Ashland hiking
down to one depositary allotted to
Wisconsin, located at Madison or Mil
waukee, to deposit his weekly savings!
If this won't encourage thrift we
can't imagine what would.

of the high price of meat. He says
the homesteaders of the west have cut

ably that also accounts for the high

OPPORTUNITIES
IN THE FUTURE

IN THE FUTURE
The idea has prevailed in recent
years among certain class of thinkers
chat it will be misfortune to be born
in the future instead of the past, be-
cause of the supposed closing Of oppor-
tunities to the children of the future.
This belief is not as popularity enter
tanned now as in the past, at least is
not talked as much, and for good
reason. Awaiting themselves of the
mental condition upon the part of a
large portion of the public, as above
referred to, exploitation concerns al
most without number began to engage
popular attention. The government,
through the public land and reclama-
ton departments, have appealed to the
people and great railroads have carried
on active and elaborate publicity cam
paigns in which opportunities were
wildly pointed out, and we regret TO
state, often unduly colored Distance,
novelty, isolation and sometimes the
impossible were made to appeal to the
popular mind-the extraordinary re-
suits of human endeavor were played
upon by lucid, vivid and often sensa-
tional writer's until they appeared to
the popular mind to be the common
and not the exceptional occurrence
Frenzy for opportunities displaced the
thought of their disappearance and
rainbow chasing became vocation.
But the day of the rational came as it
always follows period of undue enthu-
siasm. And it has been discovered
that opportunities at home or near
home have been overlooked and passed
on the theory that the older states
were fully developed. Considerable
areas have been put under cultivation
by drainage in several of the older
states, but that area is but fraction
Of the amount of unused lands in the
three states of Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota-where 10000, 900 acres of
fertile lands are still unused, more
than 10, COO, 900 of which is in the State
of Wisconsin. Until three years ago
the State of Wisconsin made no effort
to secure the development of its latent
resources. The State Board ofImmigra-
ton, created three years ago, has done
much in calling public attention to Wis
consin's unimproved area and recently
the Wisconsin Advancement Associa-
ton, comprising several hundred of
Wlsconsin's enterprising business men

ducts from the Wisconsin region
of cheap unimproved land were ex-
hibited at the 1909 and 1910 Illinois

Chicago land show and also in a per-
manent exhibit in Chicago. In order
to have this work official and authentic,
the Wisconsin Advancement Associa-
ton is working with and largely under
the supervision of the State Board of
immigration.
The point we would lay particular
stress upon in this discussion is that it
is not necessary, in securing new
homes on cheap lands, to go far from
the central markets and that in Wis
consin authentic information may be
obtained from the State Board of I'm
