LA FoLLETTE's BREAKDOWN

The reported nervous breakdown
of Senator La Toilette because OF
chargin over a failure OF audiences
in the Wisconsin campaign affords
a curious commentary on the ups
and downs of politics.
The senator has spoken to as many
thousands probably as any man in
public life. Certainly leaving Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan out of the
account he has spoken to more thous-
ands than any other man OF his times.
And yet il is credibly reported that
many of his meetings were aban-
doned in this campaign because
there was nobody to listen.
A political career is short, lived at
best. With very few notable excep-
tions American public men have
long outlived their renown. Senator
La Toilette has seen his best days.
The remarkable thing is that public
men do not recognise the situation

RAILROAD TO QUIT BUSINESS

The line of railroad built from
Atlantic to Villisca several years ago
by farmers and capitalists along the
line and known as the A. n. & s., but
later sold to eastern capitalists, will
cease to do business after Dec. LIST.
This statement was made by the rail-
road officials recently. II is claimed
that the road is not paying business
and during the past year was opera
ted at loss of $1,000 month. This
is the railroad passing through Kim
ballton and Elk Horn. 1t is claimed
that the proposition was never pay
ing one. Unless some other large
railroad corporation buys the road,
the towns along the line will be with
out train service. We regret to hear
of this announcement, and for the
benefit of our Kimballton friends we
hope the Burlington or some other
road will take the matter up and
help them out of their difficulty.

Streatham until the head of the 10
cal government boaij ordered the
stewards to remove the chairs as
well as their occupants from the hall.
The Labor party, which i'm spite
of its advocacy of equal suffrage, is
being attacked because of its alli-
ance with the Liberal government,
has hit upon a novel plan to meet
this latest move of the suffragettes.
Husky women stewards are being EN-
ployed to deal with the interrupters,
and, as one labor leader explained,
the plan is distinct success, because
on account of subtle point Of mill
tant psychology. the sense of martyr
dom is less comforting when one

militants cried despairingly: why

Appoints Republican.

Washington, Feb. 10.-In naming
Wiiisap PHILLIPS. " tCston, as Third
Assistant Secretary OF State, Presi-
den. Wilson has just given further
evidence that he does not intend to
make all his appointments from the
Democratic party. Mr.. Phillips is a
lifelong Republican.
Secretary Bryan's new assistant
was born in Beverly. Mass, in 1878.
lie is graduate of Harvard Uni
verslty and Harvard Law School; sery
ed as private secretary TO Ambas-
sador Choate in Great Britain; was
second secretary OF the American
legation at Pekin from 1906 to 1907;
chief OF division OF Far Eastern af-
fairs in 1905; Third Assistant Sec
Rotary of State in 1908 and 1909; Sec
Rotary Of the corporation Of Harvard
University at present. He Is. IL broth
er-in-law OF Representative Peters,
Of Massachusetts,. 81
Mr. Phillips is said 10 be wealthy,
and a story told about him in the
Capitol is that when he was employ
cd in the State Department he turn
over his salary TO co-wOrkers. He was
an intimate friend of President
Roosevelt. and in IN last few months
has been doing confidential work
for President Wilson connected with
diplomatic affairs.

The Supreme Court of New York,
with one dissenting judge out of sew
en-, reversed the case against Lieut..
Becker.
The case against the four gunner
who were Immediately connected with
the shooting OF Rosenthal Is affirm
ed. Their last appeal is gone. I'm
less there is a communication or a par
don by the governor these men must
die.
There has always been an impress
sion that certain rulinss were made
in the Becker case that deprived him
of fair trial. These rulings were
so startling that even laymen at a
distance felt that they were not in
the line with justice.
Recorder Golf has on many big
cases been reversed. His attitude on
the bench is SO austere and severe
that juries have often been influenc-
ed by his expressions rather than
by the merit of the case itself.
Becker, however. is not a free man.
He will get a new trial, but the court
OF New York are as careful in Sec
ond trials as they are i'm the first,
and a conviction in the first is oft
en- followed by a similar conviction
on the new trial.

ION flat lands, where water moves
slowly, grading material should be
taken from lower ditch and culverts
supplied where waterways occur. A
shallow ditch on the upper side
makes it possible to give culverts a
good fall. Two or more small pipes
instead of one large one of equal ca
pacity, may be used for culverts, es-
pecially if the large pipe necessitates
much Grading or raising of the roisl-
way. At least six inches should be
left between each pipe and Garth

thoroughly SO as to prevent wash

ITO prevent washing on steep
roads the water should be carrid
under the surface at frequent inter
walls from the upper to the lower
side, and from the lower side away
from the road. Five twelve-inch
pipes in mile of roadway lis about
as cheap and far better than one
pipe. The water
must be disposed of before it gains
force or Roadway. or has time to

JUST A DREAM

We dreamed we were living in the
year 2O14. Walking down the paved
street past a 500, QUO opera house, and
stopping on the corner in front OF a
ten-story building made from Crofino
cement, the Republican editor met Joe
Holmberg Bullock, who, in 1914, was
but baby six months old. A hundred
years had made some change in Joe.
He was an old man, his hair gray, his
body bent with honest toll of a useful
life. In spite Of his age he was still
blessed with good health and noted for
his wonderful memory.
All his life Joe had been booster,
always public spirited, and for years
had helped to make the Clearwater
county fair big success.
"Talking of fair" says Joe, "did
Grow ever make that report of the 1915
fair?
81 don't know" said the editor o.
the Republican. 'Let us find out. >
Investigation was made and they dug
up an old book. found among the per
sonal belonging Of l. R. Grow, who hat
long since died. Under date of Jan
uary LIST, 1882, appeared this notation:
"Report will be made in due course
of time"

struction and operation. Only the
stockholders take a chance and they
do so with open eyes.
Any northwestern cement mill estab-
lished by promoters is not unlikely to
be reorgarized before becoming sue
cess. The present large plants at Tri-
dent, Mont, Metalline, Wildwood and
Concrete, Wash, and several in Cali
fornia fight beak and talon for what
business there is. Each was started as
a branch by concerns able to raise all
the money they need. Each has had
years of experience, not alone in manu-
facture but in packing, shipping and
selling. No one point has any great
advantage over others and freights are
the controlling factor, because the prod
uct is heavy, bulky and cheap. An
economical cement mill is said to be
enormously expensive to build, but not
to operate, therefore the interest charge
on discounted capital would handicap
promoted independent concern, es-
pecially one without large local mar
ket.
In Orofino's case these points don't
matter, because, be the outcome what
it may, the town puts up nothing and
stands to gain everything. AS the Sage
OF Bodie said: "Outside money keeps
the camp up."
