DIR. WILEY said to the news
paper men at Kansas City, where
he went to speak before the
National Conservation Congress-:
ut was not my victory 1t was
the peoples victory" It was,
indeed. It is btful If a public
servant, threatened with remov-
al from Office by enemies to the
public interest, ever before re-
ceived endorsement from the
newspapers and magazines that
was so nearly unanimous. The
press reflected the sentiment of
the people. And not for one
moment after this public opinion
had become manifest was there
any doubt that doc" Wiley
would be kept at his post to pro-
tect consumers from the adulter-
ants and slopes" of the law
breakers. Now Wiley is in
command of the pure food and
drug board. McCabe, his arch
foe, is shorn of his power to
nullify Willey's work. We may
look henceforth for a fuller
measure of protection from dis
honest foods and drugs. Legiti-
mate business will be encour-
aged; fraudulent business will
find it's way strewn with trouble.
Willey's service to the public is
finding it's reward in the oppor-
tunity to perform even greater
service.-LaFOllette's.
ALTHOUGH the anti-LaF Toilette
papers seem to think differently
there is no political storm wave
that will change the tide for
Tsft in Wisconsin. LaFollette
isgoing TO get the full Badger
delegation from this state no
matter what the papers can say
for or against him. LaFollette
has become too dear to the peO-
pie of this state to be turned
down at this time and Taft
might as well put in his time in
s.greener fields" for all that he
can do toward changing the tide.
The fight for the presidential
nomination between the Taft and
LaFollette factions of the Reprb
lican party is getting to be
bitter one and it is going TO be q
difficult matter to unite the two
factions after the convention
With the fight on in the party il
is going to be difficult matter
to elect the successful nominee
Instead of continually lam bast
ing each others candidates the
papers of the country should
give some of their surplus space
toward working for more har
mony in the party.
THINGS are getting red hot
down at Milwaukee where the
investigation of the charges thai

was brought about by corrupt

day when Lieutenant Governor

SOME time ago the Railway
Commission of Wisconsin order
ed tLat the Northern Pacific
railway com pany put on an ex-
ira II ain between Rush City and
Grantsburg in Burnett county.
The people of Grantsburg had
petitioned the Com mission to the
effect that the service that was
being handed out to them by the
Northern Pacific was not what
| it should be. After q hearing
the Commission ordered better
service, The N. P. instead of
complying with the order of the
Commission has taken the mat
ter before the State Supreme
court in hops of having the rul.
ling Of the Commission set aside.
The Northern Pacific contend
that there is not sufficient bust.
ness to warrant the putting on
of the extra train. The Railway
Commission did not render their
decision in this case until after
they had taken the matter under
advisement for some time and
lit would not surprise us if the
Supreme court would uphold
their decision.
