uNGRATEFuL INSURGENTS.

Senator LaFollette has occasion to
do some serious thinking about the
character of the men supporting the
insurgent movement The Macomb
Journal states the case briefly and
forcibly in the appended paragraph:
Probably the saddest, not to say
the most ungrateful spectacle now
before the public is the way In which.
after LaFcLette had set up an in
surgent boom for President, and was
hailed as the ideal man and candi-
date, these a-few-days-ago shouters
for him are now ignominiously de-
sorting his standard. And to add in
suit to injury. they are asserting that
they make the change simply for the
reason the Wisconsin man is too i'll
to make the race"
Alas for the ingratitude and heart
lessness of the insurgent in politics!

Computation has been made in the
state automobile department as to the
average cost of the. automobile num-
bers, and it was found that for the
first 1000 numbers registered this
year the average cost was s1O73. This
is not merely for the auto numbers

cars exempt from all local taxation. It
had been supposed the average would
be higher than this. Eighty-five per
