Basket Ball

The Invincibles have again been de-
feated Sounds natural doesn't it?
Last Friday they packed their suit
cases with the armour worn on many a
battlefield, cut loose from the shore
and sailed forth to take by storm the
stronghold of their enemy, the Rice
Lake second High School team. 1t is
doubtless unnecessary to say that the
game was fast one, the same Rice
Lake team having played here last
wear. The score was % to Is in favor
of the enemy, and the Invincibles came
home.
Presumably Friday was Jonah day
for the basket ball as far as local teams
are concerned, and then again, it may
have been merely coincidence, but in
all events something was the trouble
for the brave lads of the local High
School who went to Stanley to meet
the equally brave lads of that High
School, but as the score might show,
Ladysmith merely met them, simply
got bea ten IS to 20.

Another Night Fire

An early alarm and quick response at

II. Mather's workshop from total de-
struction by fire. The fire was no.
ticed by Mrs. Mather, who sent her
little daughter across the street to the
pumping station, where Mr.. Mather is
working as night man. The fire
started near a window on the west side
of the building and is believed to have
been of incendiary origin.
The shop is occupied by W. Fl.
Cleveland with some turning machinery.
He had been in the shop the afternoon
before and had a fire in the stove,
which however was On the opposite side
of the room from the window. His
loss was about $75 on turned porch
ballisters. Mr.. Mather's damage is
about $780, Both losses were adjusted
by the insurance companies " ednesday.

end Wednesday, when the weather
moderated to the thawing point, and
the mushiness was augmented by a
misty rain Wednesday night. The
amount of sickness occasioned by such

it will freeze up again soon for the

TOILETTE ELECTED
RECEIVES LARGE MAJORITIES
IN BOTH HOUSES
ALL REPUBLICAN VOTES BUT ONE
The Senator Addressed the Legisla-
ture Tuesday After His
Reelection

Robert M. La Toilette was reelected
United States senator last Tuesday.
receiving large majorities in both SEN
ate and assembly. In the senate La
Toilette received "a votes, Charles H.
Weisse, Democrat, received a; John C.
Kleist, Socialist, received 2. Senator
John M. Whitehead, the antiquated
Bourbon Stalwart from GAINESVILLE,
after making a few. pompous and
grandioso remarks about the constitu-
tional right of members of the legis-
lature to vote as they see fit, un-
trammeled by the wishes of their con-
stituents, cast his vote for Frederick
c. Winkler. In the assembly the vote
was SO for La Toilette, q for Weisse,
and IL for Kleist.
Probably never in the history of the
state has an official commanded the re-
spect, admiration and support of as
large majority of the people as does
La Toilette. His strength is by no
means to be measured by the Republ-
can vote cast for him. Democrats and
Socialists voted for the candidates of
their respective parties for strictly
party reasons, but large majority of
them are warm admirers of LaFollette.
Whatever differences of political opin-
ion there may be, the honest and in
telligent member of any of the parties
knows that La Toilette is sincerely and
aggressively fighting for the rights of
the people.
The newly elected senator was in
vited to address the legislature, and
was given tremendous ovation when
he appeared. His address was chiefly
devoted to a discussion of proposed
methods for getting the real power of
government into the hands of the peo-
pie, where it has under our constitution
always been in theory but not in prac-
tice. He outlined the program put
forth by the Progressive Republican
League, recently organized by large
number of leading Congressman, Gov
ernors and prominent political reform
ers such as Garfield, Pinchot, Heney,
U 'Ren and others. This program in
cludes in brief the enactment of laws
providing for direct nominations, and
for the initiative, referendum and re-
call, also for strict corrupt practice
acts, to prevent so far as possible the
illegitimate use of money in politics.
This organization is not new party,
nor is it it's purpose to advance the in
terests of any man or group of men,
but has for its object the purifying of
politics and the replacing of political
power in the hands of the people.

row reasonably liberal amount if we
choose to do so. Then, there is the IL
quor question. Why shouldn't counties
have ''home rule" on that question?
If we concede Milwaukee's right to

matters are concerned, we should in

literally with the Milwaukee home
rulers, but that they will require in re-

from Superior or EauClaire.

Mayor d. Fl. Richards, in his usua
dignifed manner, welcomed the guests
present in the name of the Commercial
Club
r. S. Johnson of the Menasha Wood
en- Ware Co., Ladys mith's first mayor,
plead lack of preparation, as did most
of the speakers following, in not having
i been notified but a few hours before
the banquet. But Mr.. Johnson is never
at loss for something of interest to
talk about, and in his customary force
full style he nailed few good points
which elected applause. He spoke of
the many undeveloped water-powers
along the Flambeau and Chippewa
rivers, and said that we need more men
| like Col. Ballou of the Menasha Paper
Co., to bring in the industries to utilize
this great water-power, which time will
prove is not eaualled by the Wisconsin
| river and is superior to the Fox. Mr..
Johnson said the three Rs for Lady
oiulLil PiCSCilC cIiOutu DC l)uolJCoS,
county Bridge, city Bridge" He ex-
pressed the hope, which was evidently
shared by bis hearers, that no differ
ences should ever arise between the
city government and the big industries
which have located here and built up
the city. He said: "If you have made
any agreements with these companies,
stick to them for years to come" He
praised the work of the pioneers and
| welcomed the newcomers who have
brought in new energy and capital,
The numerous inventions for taking
the place cf paper and wood, he be-
lieved would not come into general use
until the lumber and paper manufacr
turers had reaped their reward for their
large investments here.
Ben F.. Faast of Conrath, one of the
guests of the occasion, was announced
to speak ON f'ram-pikes, " but he quick
ly slid down the tall shaft and got at
the root of the matter, discussing his
favorite subject, Stump pulling. The
rapid and economical clearing of land is
the greatest need of North Wisconsin
for her agricultural development. Our
rich soil, Mr.. Faast said, is Rusk
county's greatest heritage, and after
the timber resources are all removed
the welfare of the city will depend to a
great extent on the development of the
farming country. He therefore urged
the cooperation of the Club in promoting
the organization of farmers for the
wholesale clearing of land by improved
machinery, also in establishing canning
factories and creameries to encourage
the farmers. He prophesied that the
farmers of the future would keep the
paper mills running by supplying corn
stalks from which to make pulp.
Attorney J. W. Carow renewed his
subject "Togetherness, presented at
the banquet two years ago, as he said
he was not prepared to take the place
of Attorney Farr of EauClaire who
was expected to talk on "Water-pow-
ers." He again likened the factional-
ism to "the sheep and the goats" but
thought that factionalism was on the
wane and that we renearer together"
than two years ago-at least we should
all agree on things effecting the well
fare of the city. He said that he had
no fault to find with the officers Of the

RECIPROCAL HOME RULE.
LADYSMITH AND RUSK COUNTY
NEED LESS RESTRICTION
WILL MILWAUKEE PERMIT IT?
Rapidly Growing Cities Need Funds
for Schools, Streets, Bridges
and Other Improvements

ana other Improvements
For several years the people of Mil
waukee have been agitating for legls-
lation that will give them a greater
measure of home rule. Since it has
grown to be city of a quarter of a
million of people. it is found that the
general laws which are fairly suitable
for small cities are inadequate.
Growth in population and wealth have
brought new problems, undreamed OF
by the early Legislators. and Milwau-
keeans feel that they should be al
lowed the privilege of handling thos.
best for them. Among other things,
they ask that they be given power to
purchase or build street railways, light
ing plants, municipal slaughter houses
and ice plants, and to borrow money by
issuing bonds to execute these powers.
They also want power to adequately
the slum districts and secure for the
helpless children of the poor at least
the right to breathe pure air and have
wholesome food. These demands seem
fairly reasonable, although the Stand
patter insists that Beggs should be al
lowed to run the street railways, that
butchers should be allowed to slaughter
animals when and where and how they
please, regardless of its effect on
health, and that the children of the
slums deserve no consideration, as they
have no business to be poor, and more
over, they have no votes.
On the whole, it seems to US reason
able and just that Milwaukee should
be granted liberal amount of home
rule, and we wish to add that there are
others. Up here in the newer parts Of
the state we escape many of the prob
lens that trouble Milwaukee, but We
have problems of our own. For in
stance, the limitations placed on the
issue of bonds by towns, counties and
cities are salutary, and in old settled or
IN slowly growing communities are
probably sufficiently liberal. In new
and rapidly growing communities, how
ever, these limitations are frequently
inconvenient and hamper development.
Rapid development makes necessary
large expenditures for permanent i'm
provements which cannot well be pro-
vided for by means of taxation without
making the burden excessive. Lady
smith is in urgent need of addition
al school buildings for which we cannot
we'll provide except by borrowing
money. Why shouldn't we be allowed
this right?
Many other problems might be men,
toned There is the ever present road
problem. If town or a county sees
fit to extend it's roads, why shouldn't it
be allowed to borrow liberal amount
with which to do so? This is not an
argument for borrowing large amount
at the present time in this county; it
may be the time is not yet ripe, but
we should have "home rule" in the
