LA Toilette TO REMAIN
IN BATTLE TO THE END

Madison, Wis, Feb. ,24.-Replying
to the telegram sent him to the re-
cent conference of progressive repub-
loyalty to the end, Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette writes:
without one word | should have
known where to find you all. No
where are there Drawer, brainier
fighters for human rights. Trained
and seasoned in many battles, you
never swerve from the straight
course. Again and again you have
made what those without vision call
defeat the very corner stone of
great and lasting victory. We are
facing a civic crisis. The demand
for better control of government and
the just solution of our economic
and social problems is nationwide.
''The progressive platform must be
thoroughly constructive and uncom-
promising on the great issues that
are now to be fought out to a finish.
Oh principles or on men. 1t was the
uncompromising course in Wisconsin
that secured the wise and progress
sive statutes which distinguish our
commonwealth.
Standing solidIy together, we
will continue the Wisconsin way I'M
til 1t is the national way. ! believe
that time is near at hand.

NUMBER BALES PAPER
AND RAGS DESTROYED

Hundreds of bales of paper and
rags stored in the warehouse of the
Morris & Lewis junk yard at Twenty
third street and Second avenue were
destroyed in a blaze which was dis
covered at 6 o'clock last evening by
a man who was passing the yards.
When the fire department arrived on
the scene, Immediately after the
fire was discovered, the place was
ablaze. 1t was but a matter of min
rtes till the warehouse was flooded
and the fire extinguished there. The
paper and rags continued to burn
though, and the department was at
work over four hours, returning to
the stations at 1920. This morn
ing at $50 the smouldering debris
broke into flames again and one OF
the hose companies was there from
that time till noon. How the fire
started is mystery.

BEING SPECTACULAR FOR PUB
LIITY

The secretary of the Woman's
Suffrage League of Kansas City has
probed a great truth clear to the
bottom of well. She approves by i'm
plication all the efforts of the Lon
don suffragettes to arouse the tur-
gid British mind and advises her
sisters on this side who wish to
vote that nothing will help them so
much as that publicity which SEN
sational acts will bring them in
printer ink.
Nothing SO long holds its grip
upon the public mind as the we'll
told tale. Our politics have reach
ed the age of romance, wherein the
man injected into public affairs
through the spectacular happening
around whom a gripping story or
heart stirring romance has been wo-
ven Is armed against whatever weap-
ons of reason or record may be
brought against him. The story
which first introduced him to the
public, first attached to his emer-
sence from obscurity. floats him
through all counter currents and
carries him to victory after victory.
Examples could be cited in national.
state and municipal politics to point
the argument. but they are too OBJ
vious to need recalling.
Hero tales. the myths the cent
uries have woven around those who
in earliest times did the except
ional thing. performed an act out
of the ordinary, make up the litera-
ture which outlasts all other hui
man records. The world has never
outgrown its childhood fondness for
the Superman. we have no cause to
believe it will ever change in that
respect. History is patched from
Plutarch's series of biographies, and
Plutarch was a self-appointed press
agent who wrote ripping good stories
about Dare Devil Dicks and Buffalo
Bills of far back times and wasn't
any too particular about first com
pi'ing his facts. So today, the &c
treB with a good press agent need
not exert herself to act any more
than the politician with a good TO
nance pushing him ON needs to be
over careful about how he delivers
the goods. Men are only boys grown
