poor depot as could be had.
The train service is bad. and
trains are run without regard to
the wish of the travelling pub
lie. At the present time three
trains are run each week. Why
this condition of affairs is allow
ed to continue without it being
brought to the attention Of Il e
Wisconsin Railway Com mission
ia beyond us. The Com mercial
Club would call the attention OF
the Railway Com mission TO
these facts and undoubtedly
they would order that the train
service would be improved as
was done in tho Grantsburg
case. Railroads are pu bile ntili-
ties and it is up to them to give
somewhere near adequate SER
vice. Washburn is not getting
it from the Northern Pacific.
AFTER THE expenditure Of
thousands of dollars the United
States government has finally
located the cause Of the expol-
sion which wrecked the
Maine just prior to the Spanish
American war. It is now known
to have been caused from an ex-
ternal explosion and the belief
is that a hugh boiler of cask
loaded with explosives was used
to blow up the ship. The de-
sire to know Is what prompted
Congress to appropriate a suffi.
cient sum to raise the ship and
this curiosity has now been
satisfied, but just what good it
will do remains for us to learn.
Tt may be that the knowledge
gained will be of some value to
the naval department. At any
rate it cost a mighty sum that
will have to be paid for by the
government.

INTHE October number of the

States Senator Robert M. La
Toilette will begin his autobio-
graphy. it being a personal nara
tive of his political experiences.
The autobiography begins with
the time when LaFullette was, as
he terms it, "a poverty stricken
lawyer" and goes down through
his political life. In his intro
drctory notes M. LiFollpt e
says that in writing the arLlcl s
for the magazine, he has no liter
airy intent whatsoever, rOr is the
article written for the purpo> e
of relating events Of his political
life. On the contrary every line
in the narrative is written fol
the express purpose of exhibit
ing the struggle for a more
representative government that
is going on in this country, TO
cheer the fighters tor that cause
Mr.. LaFollette says:
1--WE have long rested comfort
ably in this country under the
assumption that because our
form of government was demo
cratic, it was therefore auto
matically producing democratic
results. Now, there is nothing
mysteriously potent about the
forms and namesof democratic in
situations that should make them
self operative. Tyranny and
oppression are just as possible
uuder democratic forms as
under any other. We are slow
to realize that democracy is a
life: and involves continual
struggle. Tt is only as those of
every generation who love demo
cracy resist with all their might
the encroachments of it's enemies,
that the ideals of representative
government can even be nearly
appropriated.
1.-THE essence of the Progressive
movement, as I see it, lies in its
struggle to uphold the funda-
mental principles of representa-
tive government. 1t expresses
the hopes and desires of millions
of common men aud women WHO
are willing to fight for their
ideals, to take defeat if neces-
sary, and still go on fighting.
"Fortunes of birth, tempera-
ment and political environments
have thrown me into this
struggle, have made me in some
degree pioneer in the Progress
sive movement. / am therefore
writing my own story in these
pages because | believe this to
be the best means Of mapping
out the whole field of conflict and
exposing the real character of
the enemy.
81 shall give as faithful an &C.
count as [ know Of political
events in which [ have partici-
pated and | shall characterize
the strong men who | have
known, and especially I shall
endeavor to present those under
lying motives and forces which
are often undiscerned in Ameri-
can politics.
81 believe that most thoughtful
readers, perplexed by the con-
ditions which nfront the coun-
try, will find that they have been
meeting in various guises the
same problems that | have had
to meet, and that their minds
have consequently been travel
i2g along much the same lines
as mine. and toward much the
same conclusions. | trust these
articles may be the means of
causing many men to think as
one-and to fight as one. :"
You can rest assured that it
viii give clear insight into the
great battle that is now going on
in which LaFollette is taking so
important part.

Wound Causes Hemorrhage.

Attorney Smith, who represented
Washington, told Magistrate Cornell
that his client had eleven wounds and
that one of the wounds had caused a
serious hemorrhage OF the ear.
A short affidavit then was made by
Policeman Tierney, who brought VI
rich to court, and on this the prisoner
was held in $500 bail A bond was
furnished for Ulrich's appearance i'll
court, and he was released.
Washington, who went to his apart
ments at the Hotel Manhattan after
having his wounds dressed, told the
police that he had received a letter
from his secretary saying that d. 6.
Smith, the auditor of Tuskegee Insti-
tute, of which he IS the head, was in
New York city and desired to see
him.
"This letter said Mr.. Smith was
stopping with a cousin, giving the
name and address," said Washington.
Sunday | attended church services
twice, and after speaking at one
church in the evening l recalled the
letter concerning Smith and decided
to look him up. l discovered that
had left the letter in other clothes
at the hotel, but l thought l could
recall the name as something like
Moore. and the address as being on
West 63d street. I went there and
commenced to look at the name plates
on the letter boxes in the halls OF
the different houses, seeking the name
of Smiths cousin. 1t was while thus
engaged that | was attacked.

(Roanoke Times)
One of the most pathetic and pecu-
liar conditions in the history of the
United States Senate IS brought 10
public notice by the incident, if re-
Gently, when Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, in an attempt to pro-
nOunCe a eulOgy on dead fellOW-Sen-
ators, broke down in tears. The truth
is, Senator Tillman's mind is gone.
1t Is to the honor of the newspaper
people Of the country that those of
them informed on public affairs have
known many months that the Senator
was suffering from incurable brain
trouble, but not one Of them ever had
made even the slightest allusiOn to it.
We take the Associated Press dis
patch telling of his collapse to be a
guarded official public indication of
the mOurnful truth Perhaps this is
considered necessary, because a man
in Senator Tillman's condition and
position might do vast harm unless
the facts were understood.
AT the Democratic love feast in Bal
timOre last month it was pitiful to see
the man once so self-assertive, the
man who used to sway and incite
maddened crowds of sweating and
muscular men, obviously and painfully
trying to be his old self, to keep his
attention fixed, to indicate his former
understanding of what was being done
and said. This is the first time, we
believe, in the country that a Senator
mentally incapable, or fast approach
ing that condition, has held a seat in
the Upper House. And the consider
alton manifested by other Senators
by the newspaper people of all fac
tions and the Legislature of South
Carolina, is very beautiful

DR. Booker I. Washington, one Of
the best known educators in the
world, was brutally assaulted Sunday
evening in this city, while looking for
a Mr. Smith, in No. II11 West 63d
street. He was sent to Flower Hos
pital, where sixteen stitches were
taken in his scalp. His assailant was
d man by the name of Ulrich, who
said that his wife told him that a
Negro had spoken to her in the hall
way.
Everybody knows that DR.. Wash
ington is one of the most polite and
affable men in the country. A man
who has been honored, respected and
admired by kings and queens, would
not condescend to insult a woman
whose husband claims that she was
