HONESTY IN POLITICS PAYS

The Madison Democrat, daily papeI

speak the truth in matters political
business and official has this to ss,
concerning the primary candi lacy o.
Emanuel L. Philip. who won the re
publican nomination for governor:
Philips nomination should teacl
Wisconsin politicians the merit of ths
| square deal. Philip stood for some
thing and stood for it stoutIy.
His platform was honest. It decIar
ed squarely for reversal of our bu
reaucratic form of government and foi
return to democratic principles. II

people believed in the platform and in
the good purpose of the candidate

BUSINESS about all the platforms but Mr..
PhilipD's. He struck out fearlessly fol-
conservatism. He declared his belief
in constitutional government and in
concentrating responsibility in the
hands of the constitutional officers OF
the state elected by the people and di.
-ectly responsible to the people. F." The
delegation of power to boards and com
missions out of the reach of the people
was characterized as the up. building OF
wssteful, meddlesome and dangerous
bureaucracy that is destructive of the
fundamentals of government and the
American principle of home rule.
Therefore abolition of useless commits
ions was courageously urged And so
on through the whole list of possible is
sues there was frankness.
The cost of state government, which
has increased $50 per cent since 1900
while the population has increased only
13 per cent, is fact which Mr.. Phil
ipp's platform denounced. That such a
condition is alarming and is causing
widespread concern among oil classes
of our citizens Is truth that need not
be reiterated. That there is alarm Mr..
Phillips astonishing vote is the best
demonstration. M
Mr.. Philipp's platform demanded laws
that will make the development of wa
ter powers possible, Here again il

its educational orbit and out of politics,

Senator LaFollette declined to be the
candidate of few men in Wisconsin
who refuse to accept The primary YER
diet on the nomination for governor.
He said he could not accept their call
because he did not believe they repre-
scented the people in their efforts to
launch the candidacy Of an independent
candidate. After numerous conference
es of dozen self.constituted leaders
the candidacy of John j. Blaine of Bos-
cohel. was announced MIR. Blaine is
an ideal leader for those who repudiate
the verdict of the primary and consider
themselves possessed of superior wis
dom and the sole conseryors of civic
and political honesty. Blaine was a
Wilson democratic leader two years
ago. His candidacy can mean nothing
else than an attempt to perpetuate the
high tax office-holding crowd who are
consuming the peoples substance in
conhscatory taxes.

T O'Connor and Capt. P. X. Davis.
The board recommended that he be
given a pension of $50 month.

Notable Work Done
By Gaelic Society
Women Instrumental in Making
Programs of Merit in FAM
GUS Organization.

One of the most interesting
series of programs given by any
club of Washington has been that
of the Gaelic Society.
Lecturers of national note have
talked on subjects of interest to
Kettle students. Music of the an
cient Irish and Scotch and Welsh
peoples has been interpreted. Such
distinguished guests as Lazy Greg
ory and William Butler Keats
have appeared before the society.
Women, as WeH as men, hare
been instrumental in the progress
OF this club. WOmen's names ap-
pear among the list of officers,
and a WOnlan is responsible for
the unusual and instructive mu-
sical programs at each meeting.
By ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Members of the Gaelic Society organ
lied to keep alive interest and love for
their Welsh, Scotch, and Irish father
lands, not by fervid orations or the
waving of banners. but by an intelli-
gent and thorough study of Kettle lis
tory and literature.
Scholarly addresses by authorities on
various branches of those topics and in
terpretations of native music by capable
artists have been the principal features
of the interesting meetings. These
meetings, held at the New Willard Ho-
tel, have been attended by many in
vted guests, as well as by the hundred
of more members Of the society.
During the past winter the program
maintained the same high standard set
in previous seasons. Among the ad-
dresses was a notable talk by Prof. F.
\. Robinson. of Harvard, on "Grasa a
Tragic Motif in Irish Saga" DR.. Jo-
seph Dunn. of Catholic University.
