A canned" editorial which we
noted in several of our Demo
cratic exchanges last week says:
State Auditor Gordon asks:
why doesn't Governor Hadley
devote at least part of his re-
naming term to looking after the
peoples interests and not play
politics all the time?"
We can easily enlighten Mr..
Gordon on this point if he really
has not the discernment to see it
for himself. Up at Jefferson
City, besides Auditor Gordon,
are Attorney General Major, Sec
retary of State Roach and State
Treasurer Cowgirl, all Demo
Gratis, who are individually and
collectively playing Democratic
politics right up to the handle all
the time. Now, we don't believe
that Governor Hadley is neglect
ing any of his official duties in the
game of politics, but if he were
it would be quite excusable in
him, when he has single handed
and alone to keep up with the
political deviltry of the gang that
is pitting four to one against
him, to say nothing of what the
last legislature, which seemed to
have had view to nothing else
during the whole session last
winter but to harrass the Gov
ernor and throw it into" the
Republican party generally. In
our resourceful Governor, Audi
tor Gordon and his gang of par
tisan spirits in Jefferson City
have met a foeman who can give
as we'll as take, and we notice he
takes what they give him with
out whining to them to give up
their fight that they might at
tend to their official duties bet
ter.

candidate. The Globe nor any
OF the anti-LaFollette papers will
deny that Wisconsin is a Repub
llcan state, or say that it's repre-
sentation at the national conven
tlon of the Republican party mex,
year would be unwelcome, vet
the Republican party of Wiscon-
SIN stands back of Senator La
toilette almost unanimously.
That is the one important fact
about the Senator that the big
party organs appear most
anxious to keep out of their col
umns. Now, Wisconsin is locat-
ed In the center of section of
the United States where Repub-
llcan sentiment has always been
dominant and where the big ma
jorities of the party in presiden-
tlal campaigns have always been
forthcoming. Who will say,
then, that the sentiment which
so strongly supports the big lit
tie senator from that state is
confined entirely to Wisconsin?
SO far as we know the history of
the country relates no incident
where the convictions of the peo-
pie upon public questions of ma
tional import was confined en-
tirely to a single state and to
such preponderant degree as
is manifested in Wisconsin. We
may therefore safely conclude
that the LaFollette feeling laps
widely over the borders of his
own state, if it does not include
the whole environments of the
country. There are some things
in the Wisconsin senator's policy
that we cannot subscribe to, but
on the whole he represents ideas
that are fairly consistent with
our views of economic progress.
We would, therefore, like to see
him become candidate for the
presidential nomination next
year, not as a third party man,
but in competition with Presi-
dent Taft in the Republican con-
AS third party candi-
date, which we do not believe he |
will consent to be, Senator La
Toilette would accomplish a
great deal towards putting a |
Democrat in the presidential |
chair, but as the regular nominee
Of the Republican party he stands
a better chance of preventing
that catasthrope than Mr.. Taft |
would have.

Baby 1872 Pounds at q Months,

In James Aldolph Cody, two
years and three months old. Mt.
Airy, Ga. boasts of the biggest
baby in the world. James Al
dolph now weighs 122 pounds
and is growing every day.
With the first indication of the
abnormal growth. his parents
consulted a physician and James
Aldolph was put under his care.
All efforts to keep the baby on a
diet suitable for one of his age
proved unsuccessful TO keep him
normal.
Baby sleeps well and is per
fectiy healthy and strong. His
appetite is like that Of a grown
person. For breakfast he eats
three and four large biscuits
with bacon gravy. butter and
syrup: two glasses of butteriniIk
and two cups of coffee.

Moral Issues in Politics.

There was time. not so many
years ago, when a man who talk
ed about moral issues in politics.
outside Of the slavery question or
the treatment Of the freedmen,
would have been regarded as
something of queer character.
Sixty years ago no one thought
of there being any morals in poll
tics. The Civil war gave US a
moral issue and developed a sort
Of moral conscience amOngthink-
ing men. Now some of US are
beginning to regard politics as
mainly moral, and pay little at
tention to any political question
that does not have a distinct
ly moral issue involved.
Our politicians who have all
their lives long been accustomed
to playing politics instead of
making themselves wise leaders.
and playing to the galleries and
pandering to public sentiment as
expressed in the newspapers,
are slow to learn that with think
ing people there is a very close
relationship between morals and
politics. To illustrate:
We are beginning to ask what
is right in transportation ques
tions and in political movements
affecting transportation. Is it
right for the corporation, rail
road or any other. to lie by put
ting out stock claiming to be
worth one hundred cents on the
dollar, in which there may not
be twenty five cents worth of
value or none at all: Is it right |
for corporations to steal by /
claiming the usual rate of inter
est as dividends on this watered |!
stock:
Some years ago, in most states, |
they began to realize that it was
not right for few men to ride
free on railroads, others pay
half fare, and the multitude pay
full fare. Just as soon as we be-
gan to look upon this as a moral
question, we settled the pass
question except in such benight-
ed states as Illinois, where the
influence of the cities was SO
great that the Legislature had the
audacity to claim that they were
entitled to ride free. We had
hoped that Illinois would put
herself in line with her sister
states and reclaim the abandon
ed right to have a voice in her
Legislation. The time is coming,
however. when even in states like
Illinois, to ride on a pass, unless
you are an officer Or empioye Of
the company, will be regarded as
a personal disgrace.
The open primary is another
moral question. The people
have right to say whom they
will put up as candidates in their
respective parties. 1t is part of
their heritage as citizens of re-
public. They are now beginning
to realize that they have right |
to say who shall represent them
| in our house of lords (the United !
! States senate), and thus make it |
a house of the people.
| Perhaps there is no better IL /.
lustration of the moral nature Of
politics than the attempt Of the !
people of illinois to get rid of
Senator Lorimer. They believe, !
and they have good reason to be
lieve, that his election was secur-
ed by bribery. Even the Senate
of the United States has become
sensitive to the will not merely

or. 95 of the crew of the Japanese tor
pedo boat destroyer Harusamo went
down with the war vessel on Novem
Der "a, according to advices brought
by the steamer Panama Maru.
Stories of the fifteen survivors as
officially communicated to the admir-
ality by the commander of the de-
stroyer Isonemi, are dramatic.
The Harusamo, which was caught
in a hurricane in the inland sea
started for Wakanoura in distress
the vessel swinging with force in q
tremendous sea.
She was unable to make the port
OF refuge. At 10 p. m, the mast was
blown overheard and the commander
sought to make Matoya island. About
midnight the light on Cape Andyo
was sighted. The officers then located
the position of their disabled vessel
The destroyer was unmanageable
however, and an hour later dashed on
a reef.
The Harusamo slowly foundered.
When the end was near, the crew
gathered at the bridge and continued
singing the national anthem and
shouting Banzais until the seas swept
them away.
