La Toilette Plans
New Western Trip

WASHINGTON, Jan S.-Senator la
Toilette of Wisconsin, upon his return to
Washington tonight from an extensive
campaign trip through ohio, Michigan
Illinois and Indiana, in the interest OF the
republican progressive campaign, issued
a statement in which he said:
Everywhere the people are aroused.
They are determined to have some voice
I'm their government. They understand
the real contest to be to wrest our gov
ernment from the control Of the special
interests
"They are not only interested to learn
the details of Misrepresentation. but are
enthusiastically in favor of instruments
which shall give to them the means to
compel real representative government
the nomination of all candidates from
coroner to president by direct vote, the
election Of United States senator's by d.
rect vote and the initiative, referendum
and recall.
"The people recognize that only through
these instrumentnlities can the increasing
concentration OF business and political
control in the hands of few men be
arrested and effective measures devised
and enforced to re-establish the business
of the country upon a sound, honest
economic basis Of actual value, fair to
big business and to small business alike
and just to the public.
1T is my intention TO continue these
! appeals to the people to support the pro-
gressive republican cause and to take care
OF their own interests, | shall return tC
Ohio, Michigan. Illinois and Indiana and
| go west OF the Mississippi river TO Kan
| sas, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas, and
Minnesota. l shall also make speaking
trips into New England, into New York
| and other eastern states"

Hitch in Progress
of Peace proposals

ROME, Jan. SAN reports presuming
that peace between Italy and Turkey Is
near are premature. The official attitude
at Rome is that in view of the fact that
Italy is in the position of victor, it can
not ask for peace or initiate negotiations
looking for peace. 1t is pointed out, how
ever that Italy Is ready to examine into
peace proposals with an open mind, If
advanced by Turkey. on the basis that
Tripoli and Cyrenaica shall be definitely
annexed to Italy, according to the royal
decree Of December y, which will be
transformed into a law of the nation at
the reopenihg of Parliament the end Of
January.
Italy desires peace, not so much for the
purpose Of ending the conflict with
Ttpolitana, but because it wishes to
avoid complications, which, If they re-
suited now in the dismemberment of Tur-
key, would mean for Italy only the
acknowledgement of the possession OF
Tripolitana, while If the dismemberment
occurred later, Italy might gain a larger
portion OF the empire.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. S.--The ru-
mors that peace negotiations have been
entered into by Turkey and Italy, 1t is
announced are without foundation.

MAY RETURN INSANE PEOPLE
Superintendent of State Hospital
Makes Threat to County
DISPUTE OVER BUYING CLOTHES
Dr. Kern Insists the state Has No
Funds with which 10 Provide
Clothing for Patients
from This County.

A carload of forty insane patients, sent
from Douglas county to the state hospital
for the insane at Hastings during the
last eighteen months, may be sent BACK 10
Douglas county by Dr, w. H. Kern, su-
perintendent OF the hospital, on January ~.
This is what DIR. Kern has told the Bpard
OF County Commissioners OF Douglas
county he will do, according to County
Commissioner Peter Il. Elsasser. Elsas-
ser, County Commissioner A. q. Harte
ana George Antilles, head OF the county
auditing department, called on Governor
Chester A. Aldrich when the latter was
in Omaha Saturday, and protested against
Kern's threatened action.
The situation is the outgrowth OF the
refusal OF the Board OF County Commits
sloners to pay for clothing OF Douglas
county patients in the state hospital.
The refusal was made on the ground
that Douglas county pays its share OF
taxes to the state and the state Is sup
posed to make an appropriation for
clothing insane patients. This appropri-
alton Is exhausted. The commissioners
have said II is up to the state to clothe
the patients. Kern says the state has
no money and he doesn't propose to clothe
the patients out OF his own pocket.
The county hospital already is fun to
overlooking and the county has no place
to care for the forty.
Governor Aldrich told the commissions
ers he viii take the matter up with the
State Board of Public Lands and Build
ings and see what can be done In the
way OF settling the dispute and having
the insane patients kept at Hastings.
