In his day Roosevelt has played
many curious chara ,ter parts with
startling success but it looks as
though he were about to cast him
self for new role which can hard
ly prove popular one. Costumed
as the rough rider or the big game
hunter in politics .or the jungle he
he held the center of the stage. AS
the Old Man OF the Sea sitting on
the back of the progressive party
he may still attract tention but
not the kind that he would invite.
1t is true that the progressive party
owes it's existence almost entirely
to Roosevelt and he has also by his
advocacy popularized certain adj
vanced ideas. By smashing the Re
publican party he broke down and
wiped out forever the Chinese wall
which permitted bosses and big
business to work out their own evil
devices in complete security against
the common enemy, or the common
| victim, the people. Without any
, question Roosevelt has had agreater
influence in shaping the policies Of
the country and in bringing about
reforms that anv other statesman in
our history with the possible ex-
ceptions of Hamilton and Jefferson.
1t would therefore be most regret
able If he should now stand in his
own light. There is absolutely no
occasion for b i'm to assume to die.
tate the policies of the progressive
movement. :.Tn an advisory capa-
city he would be listened to with
the utmost respect. His defense OF
Perkins is on a par with many un-
reasoning acts OF his admihistra-
ton while his irreconcible attitude
toward some genuine progressive
leaders who did not toe the mark
will only do harm to his cause. No
movement is going to succeed that

be society for the Prevention of
Useful Giving. Now, at first blush
it would seem that this was an even
wilder proposal. You don't have
to organize against this for there is
little danger that useful giving will
be oveldone. But we do all make
such desperate attempts to give
useful things such as Indian moe

John Walsh as Moses

There is just possibility that
national history may repeat it
self in this state in two years. How
a division in the Republica n
ranks is going to be averted is be-
yond the ken of the wisest political
prophet. 1t seems inevitable be.
cause the break has already occurred
1t is certain that the gap will only
widen. That one faction will elimi-
nate or absorb the other is not like
ly. Very probably, just as in the
recent national campaign, each will
prefer to see the other defeated by
the Democrats and will aid in bring
Ing about such a consummation. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that LaFo'
lette if he finds his faction is not as :
sured success would throw his sup
port to a bonatile 4mocratic pro
gressive. AS matter Of fact the
electorate of Wisconsin-is not par,i
Guitar about party labels any more
and might be glad to end the Re
publican squabble, by putting a
Democrat into Office. But that
Democrat must be one who has
been a consistent progressive. In
addition to that he must be one who
will be able at lea st in part to heal
the breach in the Democratic
fences. No man squares up to these
qualifications better than John
Walsh. He is an acknowledged. un-
compromising progressive. While
he remained an aggressive Wilson
supporter to the enc he was so
frank in stating his principles and
avoiding personal issues that he re-
tains the respect and good will OF
the Karel faction. Perhaps he will
be able to lead the Democrats out
of the wilderness after the compare
lively short soiourn of alb, twen-
ty years.

Training School for Nurses.

THE WISCONSIN plan Of fur
nishing life insurance ITO the
residents of the state at cost is
now in effect. Any resident oil
the state between the ages Of
twenty and fifty years can ap
ply for insurance through any
village, city or county clerk,
state factory inspector or bank
that is a state depository; or by
mailing a card to the Insurance
Commissioner at Madison. All he
has to do is to fill out a simple
application blank and if he
passes the medical examination
the Insurance Department will
issue him a policy--whole life,
term or endowment, as he
chooses. It is exactly the same
as the insurance wri item by the
''old line" mutual companies,
except that it is sold for cost.
With the state insurance the
insured will get out of paying
the big agents commission.
But no doubt a great many will
still wait for the agent to get
him, and pay the difference.

WHEN congress passes a law
which Rockefeller or j. Pierpont
Morgan do not like, all they
have to do is to resist that law
and take it into the courts
where the judges they "person-
ally own, will declare it uncon'
stitutional, so in reality the
federal judges have the right tc
veto the laws of Congress by
taking any kind of fimsy pre-
text for holding them unconsti-
tutional. It is the alliance be-
tween the great wealth of this
country and the many corrupt
judges constituting our feder al
judiciary that has enabled the
s.malefactors of great wealth
to prey upon the public at their
will. The agitation of these
questions has. had a tremendous
effect on the supreme Court OF
the United States which has
recently promulgated a new SET
of rules of practice which cuts
out volume of red tape from
the federal practice and greatly
hastens the final results Of the
law suit.

IT has taken a lot of time and
much persistent work to get the
outside world to see the great
value of Northern Wisconsin as
an agricultural region but the
work is just now beginning to
bear fruit and there never be-
fore was time when outside
publications were SO generous
as they are now in giving news
about the resources of this
great northland empire. For
many years homeseekers have
been Grain bow chasing" and
have been attracted to foreign
lands by advertisements from
far-away land agents. Many
have been duped and have
found their mistake. In North
ern Wisconsin the worth of the
land has been demonstrated by
actual test in what it can produce
and the public interest in this
region mas increased to such an
extent that publications no long,
er hold back the news of what
this country is doing in an ag-
ricultural way.

SENATOR Bristow of Kansas
has introduced a bill providing
for the initiative and referen.
dunn and recall of judges. These
questions were very seriously
discussed during the campaign
last fall, and it has developed
that the people are convinced
that there ought to be some
speedy and drastic way of dis.
posing of a Judge when he shows
too strong favorit;sm towards
the big interests. The oppon-
ents Of this measure are trying
to show that judges would not
have the courage to render
honest decisions if they were
subjected to the recall, but the
fact remains that no one has
ever known Of any community
rising up in arms to remove or
recall an honest and faithful
Judge from his bench but on til e
other hand the necessity for the
speedy recall of corrupt judges
is becoming more and more ap-
parent. The peoole are at last
beginning to realize that we are
really governed by the "judges .
of the land more than by legis-
lative bodies.

SWALLOWS ARE VERY BOLD
Ono Builds Nest In a House and An
other Establishes Homo on
Electric Light Lamp.

A very curious instance Of holiness
in swallows was recorded In 1885
from Ceylon. In this case the birds
built owe a lamp In the dining room;
what made their choice of site more
remarkable was the fact that the
lamp could be raised or lowered by
counter weights and the connecting
chains auctually passed through the
mud walls Of the nest.
Occasionally the bird selects q nest
ing site which invites comparison with
tho holiness OF the robin. In July last
a pair of swallows took advantage OF
the open window of an unoccupied
bedroom in a house at Felmersham In
Bedfordshire to begin building their
nest on the curtain rod Of the bed.
The return of the owner of the
house and hfs occupation of the bed
did not In the least disturb or alarm the
birds, which completed the nest and
brought OF three nestlings within
seven weeks of the house owners re-
turn. They took no notice Of the oc-
cupant of the bed when flying In and
out of the window feeding their
young; but the hen bird would fly OF
the nest If any one entered the room
during the daytime.
Three years ago a pair Of swallows
built their nest on top Of the shade OF
an electric lamp which hangs outside
the asylum at Marlborough. neal
