EMERY HAS BEEN PAR0LLED

We understand that Chas. H. EN-
cry has been parolIed by the State
Board of Control and his applica-
ton is now before the governor for
his approval and endorsement of
their actions. The governor can make
no mistake in the approval of this
action of the State Board At heart
Mr.. Emery was never a murderer.
He simply carried out the wishes of
others, while he was drunk and full
~ under the dictation OF others. He
should be parolled and finally par
doned.

NEWSPAPER AND THE TOWN.


The value of a live, energetic
newspaper to any town or city is
absolutely impossible to estimate.
There are so many ways that the
newspaper promotes the interest of
the city and the Individual citizen
when it is published that it would
be like trying to number the sands
of the sea to enumerate them. 1t is
the true friend of the city or town,
and every resident thereof, and
stands ready to fight the battles
even of individual citizens in a way
that no other agency has either the
nerve or the courage to do. 1t stands
as a great bulwark of defense for
the city and for the people.
But this is only one feature
says the Publishers Auxiliary.
There's another that is seldom
given much thought and that is that
the newspapers of any town or city
are a paying investment for such
places as industrial institutional PEG
pie welcome with open arms and
loud acclaim any factory costing a
few thousand dollars and they think
the town is wonderfully fortunate in
securing a plant that will give EN-
plOyment to number of people. Some
times they even put up a bonus to
secure such a plant. There are many
newspapers which give employment
to a number of people, and nothing, is
thought of it. The money that comes
TO the paper is spent in the town, or
city where it is published. None of
it goes away except for ink and pa
per and some other small supplies
that cannot be bought at home. The
newspaper is essentially a home in
stitution. 1t works day and night to
build up it's home town and state
and spends its money freely with
home people. 1t is published on strict
business principles these days adm
that is the reason for the growth and
prosperity that has come to many
papers during the past few years.
AS a business enterprise,a good
newspaper is about the best industry
that any town has and its publish
ers ask nothing but square deal

There are two classes Of men who
go through life cursing fate and the
thrifty. One class is lazy and dishon-
est. They never work except under
stress and never do an honest days
work if they can avoid it, and are
consequently never wanted if an
honest man can be had. When not
forced to work they swing their feet,
grumble at the prosperous and tell
how the government ought to own
all property and provide them with
a living. The other lass are the
opposite of these in many respects,
and yet reach the same terminal al
though by a different route This
class represents a large element, or
number of real working men. Men
who toll hard and squander their
earnings as they go whether they
be much or little Men who work
hard all day for what they can drink
at night, SO that they never have a
spare dollar of their own, and they,
too, gradually come to look on the
sober, Industrious and economical
man, as an enemy, and on his pos
sessions ais if they had lost them
and found them in his hands And
these two classes fake to talking
socialism or anarchy, and that the
government ought to own all the
property and do all the business.

Senator Robert M La Toilette, in
the issue of his paper, The La Fol
lette Weekly this week, takes the
opportunity to declare war on the
candidacy of Emanuel l.. Philip for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor just as he declared war on
Francis E. McGovern last week for
the Republican nomination of United
States senator.
In an editorial headed, Phillip,
Lobbyist, La Toilette details ov-
er again the old railway taxation and
primary election law fights and pla-
ces the responsibility for part of the
light against those laws on the shoul
ders of Mr.. Phillip.
In the editorial also Mr.. La Fol
lette repeats the oft-told and oft4de-
nied-by Mr.. PhiIipp- statement in
the La Toilette autobiography about
conference between Philip and
Senator La Toilette, when the lat
ter Was governor, in regard to the
primary election and railway taxa
ton bills. In closing the editorial
Senator La Toilette says:
And this man has the brass to
offer himself as a candidate for gov
ernor of Wisconsin state"
Mr.. Phillip will undoubtedly an
swer Senator La Follette's editorial.
In speaking of the fight over the
primary election and railway taxa
tiOn laws in this state the La Fol-
lette editorial says:
"The whole fight was conferred up
on me personally. They thought that
if they could crush me, that would
stop the movement. How little they
understood. Even if they had sue
ceeded in eliminating me, the move
ment, which is fundamental, would
still have swept on. They sought to
build up in the minds of the people
the fear that the executive was CON
trolling the legislative branch of
the government. They deliberately or
ganized d campaign Of abuse and
representation Their stories were
infinitely detailed and spread about
among the hotels and on railroad
trains. They said that I had CON-
pletely lost my head. They endeaVor-
ed to give me a reputation for dis
courtesy and browbeating; stories
were told of my shameless treat
ment of members, of my backing
them UP against the wall of the exc
cutive office, shaking my fist in
their faces and warning them if they
did not pass our bills, l would use
all my power to crush them. Insofar
as anything was said in disparage-
ment of the administration members
of the legislature it was that they
We're sycophants who took their or
ders every morning from the execu-
tive office. The newspapers, controll-
ed by the machine interests, began
to print these abusive statements
and sent them broadcast. :"
1t is believed at Madison Senator
La Toilette intends keeping up his
fight against Gov McGovern. The tax
alton issue will be the basis of the
fight against the governor.
