THE PASSING OF LA FoLLETE.

It was not long ago that Mr. La Follette's neck was clothed with thunder The glory of his nostrils was terrible. He paved in the val ley and rejoiced fin his strength. He went to meet armed men. He mocked at fear and was not afrighted Neither turned he back from the sword The quiver rattled against him, the glittering spear and the shield He swallowed the ground in fierceness and rage. He said among the trumpets. ha, ha, and he smelled the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. says the Courier-Journai, But the whirligig of time changes the attitudes and aspects of men, standing some of the most digni- fled upon their heads, and sousing those of large dimensions deep in the puddle of oblivion. It begins to look like Mir. LaFollette's passing as a popular hero and birthstone breathing enemy of the practical pol iticians of his party must be written into American history and that the writing of 1t will require no great amount of space and little skill in the telling.
 Mir. LaFollette. after holding an executive session with his familiar spirits, has drafted a bill that rep resents the last stand of the "insur- gent" republicans against the Cana dian reciprocity bill-a tariff reyis- ion bill to be offered as an amend ment-
 Says a writer for the Washington Herald:
 Upon this bill the senator from Wisconsin expects to base his can didacy for the presidential nomina. tion, so far as tariff revision is concerned"
 MT. LaFonette as a presidential possibility never loomed large upon the political skyline. His recent didos would have removed him from among the possibilities if he had occupied a place among them Stand ing shoulder to shoulder with ElihC Root and the New York champions of the western farmer es the enc my of reciprocity. Mr. LaFollett' appears not as the undaunted cham pion of righteousness, but as a fus sy little man who must be rated either a professional insurgent or professional politician, either maI with a grievance or man withou convictions.
 An able muck-raker, NIT. LaFol lette would have adorned innuner able tales and pointed countless morals if he had becolne servan of the so-called-and possible sian magazine trust and sough laurels as a colleague of Lneoil s,effens and others who have sail that all is rotten in Denmark am that all gall Is divided between tn executive. legislative and iudieia branches of the government.

La Toilette, who had come or of the west like a young Lochinva to claim fame as his bride, was tn unprecedented advocate of the prof >sariat and the uEtiring enemy Of th cnuinalIy rich and criminaily CO etols.

Dads Boy.
Every morning when dad comes
down to breakfast he looks at ma just
as a farmer does at the clouds at
harvest time, tryin' to determine
whether it's goin' to be wind, rain or
both. Dads got so he's a regular ex-
pert at the domestic weather prog
nosticating business. If the signal
reads "fair," he takes his time and
drinks a second cup Of coffee. If the
variable" flag is waving, he sucks in
dish of oatmeal, scoots for the office
and takes no chances, but when the
black stormy" weather banner Is
flung to the breeze, he just grabs a
piece of toast and hikes 1t for the
busy haunts of men. This was dads
toast morning. Ma had been reading
piece in the paper where some col
lege professor said that woman was a
| lower order of bein,' that her mind
wasn't as strong as a mans, but that
she had more physical endurance and
hence her mission in life was simply
to bear children, mend socks and sew
on buttons. Dad hadn't any more'n
got seated at the table when ma jump
ed up, grabbed the paper, stuck II
under his nose, pointed to the article
and said: That's all women are
good for, Is it; just bring children into
the world, sew on buttons and mend
socks?" And then she glared at dat
something awful. Dad grabbed for hi
piece of toast, started for the door ant
hollered back: II won't be- home t
lunch, Mary" l sure do wish dad wal
better conversationalist. - VIII

In connection with the above Justice
Greer states that there was no abuse
of the Sims boy or any Of the boys
on the part of Constable Tucker while
In the court room. That the Sims
boy persistently interrupted the wit
nesses and Constable Tucker simply
told him to keep quiet until his time
came to testify.
Constable Tucker says the boys
acknowledged to him that they intend
ed selling the wheels and had agreed
on price for them. That the evil
dence showed that the Sims boy stole
ring belonging to his sister and
pawned It for $500, using a part of
the money to pay the rent on the
wheels. That Sims sister came to the
Jail and demanded her ring and when
told where 1t was, went and got It.
Sims has been on the county farm
