THOUGHTS bY THE WAY

The "insurgents' have concluded
to support President 1aft in his efforts
to secure legislation promised the
people. We cannot refrain from
asking the question: What in thun-
der were they elected for? 1t is
gratifying to learn that they have
at last come 10 the appreciation OF
the conditions which confront the
republican party in state and nation.
The Milwaukee Journal fires the
following at US. "How do yuu expect

CARELESS of their fractional affiliations
1t is time for the party to rise above
petty jealosies and prejudces and
elect good men to office, men who will
work for the best interest Of the state
and not for self. For the past few
years the state has been going to the
demnition bow vows, taxes have
almost doubled and the end is not yet
There must be a radical change in

travelling public. Under the old
regime, before we had SO much idiotic
reform. the railroads published thsir
time tables in all the papers and the
publishers took their pay in trans

few scheming, self seeking demsgog-
