LaFollette, in two legislative
6ghts-in the first to which he
was beaten by the railway lobby
got this changed. His law did
away, too, with the rule of ''as-
sumption of risk" under whichla
workman is held to consent to
danger, and made it the duty Of
the railways to make their sery-
ice safer by 'tell-tales" and otR
er devices.
Wisconsin, before aFollette's
time, had a bureau of labor, and
a factory inspection department,
both dead letters. In 1908 he
called upon the legislature to stop
child labor, non-attendanee at
school, and bad factory eoHdi7
tions.
He called for laws compelling
reports of accidents, making fire
escapes mandatory in factories,
against long hours of work for
women and children, against un-
healthful and dangerous sur
roundings, and for juvenile courts
to save children.
All these laws were passed. +

CONGRESS IN SPECIAL SESSION.

The extra session Of congress
assembled in Washington on Tues
day of last week the especial pur-
pose being to deal with the recipro-
city pact between the United States
and Canada. There seems but little
doubt that both houses of congress
will vote in approval of the treaty.
although it is porsistentIy rumored
that the house of Representatives
which has a strong democratic
majority will try to use its favor
able attitude upon this measure as
club to influence the presidents
approval Of such action as the house
may take upon revision Of the
tariff law. Champ Clark was elect
ed speaker of the house to succeed
Joseph G. Cannon, who has held
that position for eight years.. and
Congressman James r. Mann, of
Illinois was made the republican
minority leader, with power to
select republican members for the
various committees. The insureent
congressman from Wisconsin were
among the few who refused to take
part in the republican caucus. w.
J. Bryan of Nebraska and Governor
Harmon, of Ohio, were prominent
figures on the floor of the house
during the opening ceremonies and
both shared in the democratic de-
monstrations that marked the day.
The presidents message to Congress
was brief and was mainly devoted
TO recommendations relative to the
reciprocity measure.

The social democrats, who were
swept into power in Milwaukee city
and county in the election one year
ago and again last fall, we're badly
defeated in the election last week,
failing to elect a single one of their
candidates. The social democrats
were long on promises but have been
rather short on fulfillment and the
expected economy in affairs has
failed to materialize. The great
promises of reformers usually turn
ont that way.

asked If he had received any money
from Winters that day Harcleroad
empnatically answered in the mega

Fred Avery's testimony substantial

tails
Undersheriff Hymer stated that on
the way to Cassville he told Harcle-
road that he was going to make an
arrest and might need his help and
the latter said 'aIl right. He
said that it was understood that
Harcle1oad would take care of the
prisoner during his absence. The
undersheriff was asked if HarcIeroad
showed any signs of fatigue when he
first spoke to him about Winters

details of the testimony of the four
witnesses. In view of the situation
no comment can be offered as to the
truth or probable truth Of tie con-
ficting stories.
Frank Brinkmann and 0 M. Atte-
berry testified in regard to the forged
note and their relations with Winters.
Brinkmann had little acquaintance
with Winters. Had merely talked
to the latter twice once in negative
answer to an inquiry by the real
estate man as to whether be had any
horses for sale, and another time,
probably the same day in regard to
1870 acres of land which was for sale
and which he thought perhaps
Winters might want to buy. He said
the signature on the note was not
genuine and that the name was spell :
ed 'BIinkman instead of Brink
mann as he always spelled it. The
note was for $500 for eight days at Z
per cent. It was dated March s.
0. M. Attebery, tne cashier of the
Badger State Bank said that one
morning as he was opening the
bank Winters drove up and asked him
if Frank Brinkmann was good. >
Mr.. Attebery answered that he was

the note asking him to depos it in
the bank saying he would ne in tC
fix it up in few days. Two days
later Cashier Attebery showed the
note to Frank Brinkmann who pro.
nounced it forgery. When Winters
overdraft amounted to about $500 At.

Senator LaFOllette has reonened
the LOrimer matter In the u. s.
senate by offering a resolution to
name a committee to re-investigate
the senator from Illinois. The senate
month ago acquitted Lorimer of
Gho crime of bribery with which
ne was charged in connection with
MS election, but is it the intent to
make him again stand fire unon
practically the same charges as
OeIore. Clarence S. Funk, general
manager Of the International Har-
Vester Co., Chicago, has made the
statement that a fund of $1CO. 600
was raised to be used in connection
with Lorlmer's election and that bo
was asked by Edward Hines. tha
olg lumberman, to contribnte
$40, 600 toward 1t. He saws he did
no. do so and does not know Of anv-
body who did. Hines emphaticaliv
denies tho statement. He saws he
never at any time or place asked
Mr.. Funk or anyone else to contri-
butte anything to Senator Lorimer's
election or on account of his election
and that if Mr. Funk has testified
20 anything to the contrary it is not
true. There is evidently some tall
lying going on somewhere in these
Gays when the principal business of
the politicians seems to be charges
of corruption and the demand for
probes" and Investigations" that
seem to result IN little but rancor
and bitterness, without the charges
being proven.

told the new congress that some
thing must be done to reduce the
cost of living. The last democratic
congress surely did that, sixteen or
