THE TRUTH.

La Follette's Weekly bears on its title
page, in bold type, the thirty second
verse of the eighth chapter of the
gospel Of st. John. And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free" With his deadly roll
call, and otherwise, Senator LaFollette
has rendered great public service in
letting the people know the truth about
many things done in congress. But, as
to his duty at hand, he can do more for
truth and righteousness by one word in
favor Of the Underwood tariff bill than
he can by seven days speech in
opposition He should serve the PEG
pie, by answering aye when his name
is called on the measure; rather than
try to placate the grand governing con
spiracy Of protection, by fatuous opposi
ton to an eminently fair and just tax

The porters in the Pennsylvania rail

get $40 20 $40 a month When more
"rcd tops are needed the station mas
ter goes to the cleaning gangs and
says that he needs so many men, ami
the vacancies are filled by volunteers.
At first the red tops receive no
wage at all. They must live solely on
tips. But after they have been in the
service for some time they get 500 to
$50 monthly. The purpose of the small
wage Is ito make them hustle" it is
said
The job of the red top" is looked
upon by the other cleaners as a gen

FINDS WATCH LOST
THIRTY-F|VE YEARS
Tlmepiece Again Running After
Having Been Buried.

Menomonie, Wis.-Thirty- years
ago this spring Register of Deeds AL
fred Halverson of st. CroiX county,
then Il young man, became the pos
SCISSOR of his first watch, an open faced
silver watch, with heavy case. Young
Halverson valued his new possession
so highly that he carried it with him
ing on his unCle's farm.
He was heartbroken after blowing a
few burrows one morning to find that
the watch had slipped from his pocket
and had been plowed under. With his
cousin, Edward Halverson, he back
plowed the burrows, cross plowed them
and then combed the earth for hours in
search of the precious timepiece, but in
vain.
Recently while blowing on the Star
Prairie farm, Edward HaNerson saw
the plow turn something metallic out
Of the ground. He stopped and picked
it up and found it was Il silver watch.
He at once thought of the one his
cousin had lost thirty-tive years ago,
and although the fields had been chang
ed, he discovered this was where he
had helped look for the watch years
ago.
The thick crystal was broken. and
the hinges were rustcd. but he return
ed the old timepiece to its owner. and
Il jeweler to whom it was taken for
repairs discovered that the works We're
free from dirt and rust and the adj
iuStmcnt still perfect
A little oil, a new pair of hinges. n
new crystal, and the watch when
wound started to run MS though it had
merely run down the night before.

THURSDAY. JUNE 10, 1918.

Senator Husting, who is steadfastly
trying to secure state control of the
waterpowers of Wisconsin, is very
much encouraged in this purpose by a
recent decision of the United States
supreme court in case carried up
from the western district Of Michigan
This decision. it is claimed. sustains
the principle Of the Wisconsin water
powers law Of 1911, which was declared
unconstitutional by the state supreme
court. A proper law covering the
water powers matter ought to be enact
ed at this session Of the legislature.

COON ADOPTS GUINEES.
Matched in Kitchen Stove and Kept
Warm by Pet.

warm py EEL
Monessin.a Pa.-Smoke. pet coon
belonging to Franklin Sauter, has
adopted brood of young guinea hens
that were Matched in the oven of Mrs
Sauters stove few days ago. Local
naturalists and woodsmen assert that
this is the only instance on record
where a coon is known to have over
come his natural instincts to kill all
feathered creatures
Several months ago Sauter captured
young coon that had been pulled
down and injured by the dogs. 1t soon
became domesticated and became q
great pet around the house.
Sauter is also breeder of guinea
fowls. which are prone to leave their
nests and sit in the fields and wood
lands. Missing one several weeks ago,
Sauter traced her to the fields and Sc
cured ten of her eggs, which were
within days time of incubation.
Not having an incubator, Sauter put
the eggs in the oven of his stove, and
when they Matched he placed the
chicks in Il box behind the stove. He
was greatly surprised in the morning
to find the coon in the box "mothering"
them

Powerful and DANGEROUS.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican
The meaning of the word lobby be-
comes important as the senate in
vestigation of the present situation at
Washington proceeds. The senators
seem disposed to define the word strict
ly. A lobbyist, in their view, is a
man who is hired to influence legisla-
ton in which he may have no personal
interest. There is however, Il popular
meaning that embraces persons engag
ed in a systematic fight at the capital
against or in favor of legislation which
affects their selfish interests in no small
degree, Such persons may not be pro
fessional lobbyists but their endeavors
to influence votes in congress are Sc
highly concentrated and persistent that
they must be utterly differentiated from
what is known as public opinion and
their interests must be strictly dissoci
ated from the general interest. Such a
"lobby" may be 'insidious, powerful
and dangerous, even il it works within
lines regarded rs ordinarily legitimate

A POOR SPE

We have read Il speech by Congress
man James A. Frear in opposition to
the Underwood tariff bill. II is very
disappointing. Mr. Frear is known as
n Progressive Republican, but this
speech reflects the sentiment and eco
nomic Thought of the British landlord
of the first half Of the last century, who
opposed the abolition Of the corn laws.
From such progress we may well pray,
Good Lord deliver us.

that John Callan o Laughlin, Washing

ator LaFollette will, when the time
comes, vote for the passage of the IN
derwood bill. We have said right
along that it il Senator LaFollette' =
unquestionable right to urge what he
may deem desirable amendments to the
pending bill and that nobody can justly
blame him for doing his utmost in this
direction. On the other hand we have
maintained that the senator cannot
vote against this bill, and thus help to
keep the baneful Payne Aldrich tariff
law on the statute books, without
abandoning his own declared principles
and without giving what is likely to be
Il most serious blow to the movement
designed to wrest government from the
power and dietation of Special Privi-
