The interstate commerce commits
sion gives out the information that
twenty million gallons of whiskey is
shipped by express annually into
prohibition territory. We have no
doubt but that the statement is
largely true and it is to be regretted.
There is another side to the question
and we hope the commerce commits
sion will give it to the public as
readily and freely as they did the
above information. Let the COM
mission get up statistics for some
wet states by freight for the same
length of time as they did for the
prohibition territory. We would
just like to see both sides and it is
nothing but fair that the public
should read both sides. Will they
busy themselves to get the informa-
ton and give it to the people? Just
be fair about the prohibition
question.

As indicating the subserviency of the
present legislature to the brewery and
whisky interests of the state it may be
thus summed up: On a recent day the
senate voted that the selling of grocer
les and other table provinder must
cease on Sunday, because mot work
ofnecessity. Senator Teasdale offered
an amendment that SALOONS must be
kept closed and LIQUOR and beer not
sold" Which was promptly voted down.
What mess of reformers! The whisky
interests ust be let alone. 1t was so
ordained before last years primaries by
leaders who proclaim themselves PRO
gressives." And how the people were
tricked by them on the question of
liquor regulation has been demonstrated
on every proposition offered or suggest
ed along these lines. No legislature in
the history of this state has been so
bold and brutal in handling proposed
liquor regulation legislation.

A CONFEDERATION
Of Interest to Viroqua Readers

For months Viroqua citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic praise
of Doan's Kidney Pills by Viroqua re-
sidents. Would these prominent peo-
pie recommend a remedy that had not
proven reliable? Would they confirm
their statements after years had elapsed
if personal experience had not shown
the remedy to be worthy of endorse
ment? No stronger proof of merit can
be had than cures that have stood the
test of time. The following statement
should carry conviction to the mind of
every Viroqua reader.
Mrs. C. H. Groh, of Viroqua, Wis,
says: 4 am pleased to endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills and confirm all | said in
their favor in 1907. This remedy which
was procured at Johnson's Drug Store,

A good portion of our Madison letter
is devoted to a rehash of the Stephen
son primary matter. 1t is unfortunate
that the present session should be har-
raised with a renewal of a fiasco that
cost the people of the state more than
$4,000 to investigate two years
ago, besides delaying the session. The
present rehash and loss of time by
solons is merely a continuation of a
matter that demonstrated nothing ex-
cept that one rich man spent more than
some other rich men in attempts to be
nominated and elected United States
senator. The wealthy man who used the
most money, and won, had previously
spent hundreds of thousand to put in
power the men who now file the COM
giants against him. And the people
pay the shot for all this canting, hypo-
critical boy play. But these are the
days of humbug and the taxpayers APP
pear to delight to have their substance
exhausted to crafty the ambition of

The printed report that former
President Theodore Roosevelt had
publicly endorsed a second term for
President Taft caused no alarm among
LaFollette men, who seem to be bank
ing upon the support of Mr.. Roosevelt
when the proper time comes. While
in Madison recently the rormer presi-
dent is said to have told a man close
to Senator LaFollette that he (Mr
ROOSEVELT could not endorse President
Taft for reelection. This information,
which has been guarded with great
secrecy, comes from an authoritative
source. Mr. Roosevelt at the time
was not disposed to publicly endorse
the presidential candidacy of Senator
LaFollette beyond prais'ng his great
accomplishments in Wisconsin and
labelling as sound" the progressive
movement headed by LaFollette. Be-
cause Mr.. Roosevelt heretofore had
declined to give such mstinted praise
and credit TO Senator LaFollette, his
tribute to he senator in his. address
before the Wisconsin legislature csus-
ed great Joy among the progressives.
While the big men in the LaFollette
wing have declined TO. say that Mr..
Roosevelt made any promises to come
out for LaFollette for the presidency,
nevertheless 1t Is apparent that they
are confident that be will do so, More
than that, they believe that his en-
dorsement will be one OF the biggest
and far-reaching endorsements that
Senator LaFoilette will receive.

The resolution will go through the as

workers in the presidential campaign.
II will be pointed out in this conrec-

gressive as to purity in politics as
we'll as progressive as TO Representative

for all 1t is worth, both IN Wisconsin
