No wonder there are some persons
who think that streets in America
are paved with gold.
Mr. Morgan having sailed for
Egypt in quest of treasure, we shall
expect to hear in due time that he is
having the Sphinx shipped back as a
decoration for his front yard.
The wise man bottles his wrath and
then proceeds to lose the bottle.
Before Gov. Wilson adopts Is as his
lucky number he should count the ct.

South Carolina is planning to adopt
a compulsory education law. Well,
Gov. Blease is an excellent argument
in favor of it.
Every public man, however great,

self able to accomplish.

HAS MADE A GREAT BLUNDER

1t begins to look as if Gov Nc
Govern had gotten himself into ii
peck of troubles and put an end to
his political ambitions. In trying to
keep Insurance Commissioner Ekern
out of office because of lack of graft
tude, although it is universally ad-
miLted that Ekern is a very efficient
official, he, the governor evidently
forgot his ingratitude to Senator La
Toilette who made it possible for him
to be governor and save him from
defeat at the last general election, for
which action the senator now mo doubt
sincerely regrets. The governor
should not forget for single moment
that Senator LaFollette is still a po-
litical power in Wisconsin politics
and although somewhat battered po-
litically is still in the ring and must
be reckOned with. If McGovern is
labOring under the impression that
ne can build up bullmoose party IN
this state, he should get the idea out
Of his head for he will have
three mighty strong influences to con-
tend against: the LaLallette follow
ing, the sane progressives and the
democracy, from neither of which
will it be possible for him to draw
any support.
