silence had finally drawn the attention of all to him
He escaped to the terrace and, smoking cigarette, be-

As heroine of the days adventure, Eveine had taken
position of greater Importance than usual The
number of those gathered about her at all moments was
greater than customary and notice from her had
something of the glory of royal recognition. Esgrove

pride from the satisfaction of brave action and the
resulting praise and consideration of ones associates
That must be the greatest of ALL the recognition by the

New Office Is Created.

The office of supervisor of assess
ments in every county of Wisconsin
will be abolished after the first Monday
in January, 1912. This was one of the
laws enacted by the last legislature and
as result Frank P Starr, who was
elected supervisor Of assessments
of Rock county by the county board Of
supervisors at the annual meeting last
November, will retire from the office
the first Monday in January, 1912.
The law creating the collection of the
income tax abolishes the office of super
visor of assessments and creates the
office of assessor of incomes in districts
throughout the state. The assessor of
incomes shall, in addition to the collec-
ton of the income tax, perform all the
powers heretofore imposed by law upon
the county supervisor of assessments.
The assessor of incomes shall be under
the direction and control of the state
tax commission and shall make reports
to the state commission, county board
of supervisors, and perform such other
duties as the state commission may de-
sire.

Whitewater Normal School.

To relieve the congestion in the low
er grades Of the University Courses,
the board of regents of Normal schools
has authorized academic courses in the
various Normal schools of the state.
The Whitewater Normal school has or
ganized such a course which will pre-
pare students to enter the junior year
in colleges and universities. This will
enable prospective college students to
do the freshman and sophomore work
nearer home, at less expense, and in
smaller groups than in the overcrowd-
ed classes at the university.
A course for country teachers
county training school-has been or
ganized, with model country school,
one and one-half miles east of the city,
for it's practice school. This school
will be taught by an expert, exper-
fenced teacher who will be critic
teacher to conduct the practice and OBJ
servation work of the pupil teachers.
A new arrangement of the courses of
study has gone into effect, which fav-
ors greater specialization in prepare
ton for teaching, especially for those
desiring to teach in high schools.

THERE is in the Republican party to-
day a group which would deprive Pres
ident Taft of the just endorsement of
another nomination, and the country OF
the important service which he still has
to render In spite of every consldera-
ton of party welfare, of common JUS
tice and the public interest, this group
seeks to secure for its guiding spirit,
Senator La Toilette, the nomination
which his ambition has so long craved.
A spectacle more unprecedented in
party history could not well be imagin-
ed. Had President Taft failed in any
essential respect, had Senator La Fol-
lette contrived in any way to save the
day for the administration, one might
Justify the course of the Wisconsin
leader and his following. But the
president has generously made good,
nationally and internationally, while
Senator La Toilette has only played the
role of the pickering obstructionist and
slanderous critic. A professed Repub-
lican, he has attacked a Republican
in his publication, through every ave-
nue. that malice could devise. Not con-
tent to denounce every policy, every
dCGlOH OI IHC SAGCuLIVC uIlOOU1IO 1IAu
improper, he has impugned and black
ened the very motives of the man in
the Whitehouse He has not hesitated
to lend the weight of his discussion to
every impossible and malicious SANDER
circulated about one of the kindest,
frankest, most honorable of men. And
while doing this, he has originated
nothing, he has furthered nothing, in
policy or in legislation, that has re-
bounded to the public interest. On
every great popular measure, from the
postal savings bank down to reciprocity,
he has voted in the negative. He has
repudiated his past professions on re-
ciprocity and the tariff board, he is to-
day voting for hodge-podge Democratic
tariffs, for just one reason-the chance
of putting Taft in the hole" If this
is 'progressiveness, then progress has
come to be a thing of shreds and
patches. If this is craftsmanship, then
statecraft has reached the level of
Jockeys game If this is public SER
vice, then public service in America is
a tool of self. If this is party honor,
then party honor is a mockery and
cheat. If this is Republican presiden-
tial timber with which to oppose the
denomination of a high-minded and
efficient Republican executive, the
party had best shut up shop to begin
with and turn over the keys to aspiring
Democracy. Milwaukee Free Press.

A SPECIAL committee of the legisla-
ture will soon begin an investigation of
Guiding rates and the fire waste. This
investigation, of course, is undertaken
with view of regulating the fire in
surance business and restricting the
waste. This is country of fire waste
just as it is country of several 9th
er kinds of waste. What this nation
burns up in year, needlessly permits
to burn, would support a good sized
country - government, politicians and
people. 1t is not all to be expressed in
figures in the insurance reports for loss
of time, and wages, the double effort
and public and private inconvenience it
causes have real and high value even
if not reducible to figures.
