PROFESSORS AS POLITICAL GUIDES.

q ONE of the western state universities are
~ going forward by leaps and bounds. The
University Of Wisconsin, which is one of the best
of them, will have almost 6000 students this year
and the pressing problem at Madison is how to
take care of the students accommodations are
lacking
The University of Wisconsin, in many respects,
is a remarkable institution, and is probably as
much responsible for the progressive movement
in the west as any other cause. Senator LaFollette
in a series of articles he is contributing TO a maga-
zine tells of the great influence the Wisconsin
University at which he was educated exerted on
him. While Governor he held weekly consulta-
tions with a group of professors of the university
on political matters and the inference is that he
was guided largely by their advice His expert
ence a one the comforting with profess
sors and men of that stamp instead of with at
torneys for big corporations and the interests"
There used to be prejudice' against the pro-
fessor in politics. and the practical politicians
sneered at him. During the Wilson campaign the
present Governor of New Jersey was referred to
as the "schoolmaster," but that seemed to help
rather than hurt him. At any rate, LaFollette
/, acting with the professors, routed in Wisconsin,
after few years of battle, of the most strong
ly entrenched political machines to be found in
the country and sent to political oblivion John c.
Spooner, who was then Senator and one of the
ablest corporation lawyers in the country.

@NOT A POLITICIAN.p
Worcester Gazette.


President Taft declares out in Peo-
ria that he is not a politician. The
deficiency is one which he need not
have taken the trouble to state The
fact has been too many times I'm evi-
dence not to be generally known at
this date We have remarked the fact
before but have taken the pains to
qualify the Characterization by saying
that by not being a politician in the
ordinary sense of the word, but by
plying an above-the-table hand at all
times, he was making himself really
strong kind of politician.
He has met a rebuff in reciprocity,
but it comes to him when he has the
solace of knowing that he did all that
could be done in a fair and honorable
way to further a great project for bet
ter trade relations with neighboring
country.
His record for fair dealing, his san
ity in following as far as may be a
middle course, that is to say, In hold
ing to the happy mean between great
conservatism and great radicalness
are qualities which are bound to mako
him more instead Of less esteemed.
Surely the state of business and the
disorganized state of politics recon-
mend for consideration in the strong
est fashion a man of the Taft stamp
at this juncture
His way has been made harder by
the upshot of the reciprocity affair
Sober second judgment will show him
we believe, in the light of a man who
did all that he could in his own coun-
try to bring about better conditions OF
living. He pinned his faith in reci-
procity as the best measure for imme-
diate relief from an exacting tariff
law. 1t is easy to see at this date that
he made an error i'm judgment. But ne
has made it i'm the face of assurances
of success that fully warranted the
course pursued

California is ahead of other states somewhat in
adopting political schemes. 1t has unique
primary law. Under this law If one man nomi-
mated has votes than all the others he is de-
clsred elected and there is occasion for another
election The nomination and the election happen
at the same time. Under this plan the people have
just defeated Mayor Mccarthy for reelection and
named a business man, James Rolph for Mayor
for the next two years. Mccarthy, it will be re-
called declared that he would make San Francisco
the Paris of America and il is said he succeeded.
He was elected Mayor on a Labor ticket, in a
three cornered fight but at the recent election he
was defeated by 28,OO0 votes the opposition COM
