been accomplished during the last

plished in the state of Wisconsin un-
der the lead of Senator LaFollette
and the group OF entirely practical
and at the same time zealously en-
thusiastic workers who have come
into active control OF the state
mainly or largely because of the lead
he has given them.
''It has rarely been my good fortune
to meet a body OF public men who
are more practical and at the same
time more obviously earnest N their
desire to achieve ideals for social and
civic betterment than the public
men whom | met at Madison.
1T is only in Wisconsin, SO far as
know. that n rarely serious and
thorough effort is being made to
find out how to frame measures that
shall give the people effective control
over the big corporations without
going into wild extravagance; aud
In this effort politician and student
have Joined hands.

This game while not so swift as
some was played with remarkable
precision. Both teams knew what
they were there for and there was
good playing throughout the game.
The little fellows from Hotchkiss are
sure on to the job. and but for u
lack of age and physical strength
