La Toilette Fights While Sick
MRS. OGDEN MILLS.

In "rhe Autobiography OF an Insur-
gent" by United States Senator La
Toilette, beginning in the American
Magazine, the senator writes of his
early fights with the machine while
district attorney Of Dane county,
Wisconsin. He writes:
II remember one case OF adultery in
which the parties brought powerful in
fuence to bear, defeating my attempts
at prosecution. / was taken sick and
had to 60 to bed. The political boss
seized eagerly upon the opportunity,
special district attorney was appointed
and directed to nolle pros the case
against the defendant. I heard Of it,
and, although too weak to walk, had
myself rolled in a blanket and driven
to the court house. l entered my APP
pearance and asserted my official au-
thority against having the case stricken
off. There was good deal OF a fight,
remember. and I was threatened with
being sent to jail for contempt. But
finally secured a postponement and af-
terward convicted my man.
Under such conditions. 1t may well
be imagined, any man inside the po-
litical ring. or man with great polite
oil influence, could escape punishment
for almost any offense except, perhaps,
capital crime. / early determined
that I would make absolutely no dis
tinctions between men In the admins
tration Of justice, and I soon had a
very severe test, in which had 70 meet

came to Madison at the organization
OF the legislature, got drunk and Welt
to bed with his boots on. Feeling some
one trying to take his money, he
aroused himself enough to make an
cutlery, and the next morning the story
was all over town. 1t came UP to me
and In the regular course Of my duty

make complaint. He was insulting;
told me 1t was none Of my business.

told him plainly that we did not permit
such things to happen In Madison
without prosecution and that I should
require him to swear out a warrant.
AS soon as I left he set the wheels to
moving, and before I could get the pa
pers out number Of friends came to
me advising me that 1t would defeat
me for reelection IL made trouble for
so important person. Sanderson got
out Of Madison by the first train and
tried to get out Of the state, but
caught him with subpoena at Mil
waukee. also got the fellow who was
charged with taking the money; but
the pressure on the witnesses was SO
great that I could not convict him.
However, the purpose Of the prosecu-
tiol-to make the law supreme in Dane
county--was well served; and instead
of injurlng my chances for re- election,
the case decidedly helped me-"

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July q. 1909, we left Boston for
n trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
Il few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
lash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
frritated, and he would scratch it with
I'll his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
igfraid it would leave nasty scars on
Ills face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
md climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
plctely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement. and baby

Msetinu Of The Waters.

There is not In the wide world valley

waters meet;

Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade

Yet 1t was not that Nature had shed DER

Twas not the soft magic of streamlet or
hill
oh. no, 1t was something more exquisite
still.
Twas that friends, the beloved Of my
bosom were near,
Who made every dear scene of enchant-
ment more dear,
And who felt how the best charms of Ma
ture improve
When we seem them reflected from looks
that We love.

Where the storms that we feel in this
cold world should cease,
And our hearts, like thy waters. be

SPLENDID CANADIAN
CROPS
Wheat, Oats and Barley uni
versally Good Throughout
Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.

The reports that come to hand from
the wheat fields Of the western Cana
dian provinces show remarkably good
yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed Of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels
in many places, and oats from 60 to
100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax
are splendid. The thousands OF Amer
leans throughout the United States
who have friends in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan or Alberta will be pleased
to learn of the great success that
has followed their efforts. Many of
these have not confined themselves to
the growing Of grain, but have also
gone into the cattle industry. On the
luxurious grasses that are so abun-
dant there, in almost all districts,
make this industry safe and profitable.
The land sales reported by the rail-
way companies and by the different
land companies show the great in
crease that will likely take place
during the next year in farming oper-
ations. What has been said time and
time again may now be well repeated,
that there is no place on the Ameri-
can continent where the same oppor-
tunities are afforded the man looking
for home. for the young man start
ing out in life. the man with grow
ing up family, who desires wider
scope for his ambition. The Cana
dian government agents located at
different points in the states will be
glad to advise the reader of the condi-
tions, and relate to him instances Of
the great success that has followed
farming in Western Canada.

From Harper's Weekly.

Today it is thoroughly evident that
instead Of having the best system Of
common school education, we have one
Of less value. The minds Of our
youth have been so wholly turned to
the cultural side that they have come
to think that vocational training, and,
indeed, the vocations themselves, are
negligible, II not undesirable. Our
system has developed a great taste for
politics, for the study of social prob
lens. and. we might add, for the yell
low penny paper, and an equal dis
taste for the earnest all compelling
conquest OF trade or occupation.
Our whole educational system rests
upon the accepted doctrine that It is
the duty Of the state to educate every
child that he may become an lntelli-
gent, useful member Of society. II

Our Useless Public Schools

rests upon the expectation that sub
stantially all the children shall 20
through the elementary schools, and q
very great proportion OF them on
through the high school.
How untrue to this principle our
system is, is evidenced by the fact that
less than half our children go beyond
the sixth grade. Only one In three
completes the grammar school course,
only one in FIVE enters the high school,
and only one in 80 graduates from the
high school. Our system, then, does
not educate generally nor thoroughly.
1t gives little more than the three Rs
to half the children.
One-half OF the children Of the UNI
ted States are, therefore abandoned by
the state, educationally. mt the tender
age Of IA. and all of the children are
forsaken as far as trade education
goes.
