Senate. Whitman Gets His Deserts.


A Madison correspondent Of the Mil
waukee Free Press, under date Of Way
18th, utters the following well bestowed
praise Of our state senator, Hon. Platt
Whitman
I'm the senate Of the Wisconsin leg
islature the quiet Senator Flat Whit
man of Highland fills one Of the heavy
roles in the administration program. He
was member of the house in 1909.
This is mis- first term in the senate.
Few members of the senate talk less
and say more. Senator Whitman
is sort of a power behind the throne,
the man who smooths out the rough
spots and sets things right when they
appear to have become sadly muddled.
There is not member Of the senate
who is accorded the close, earnest at
tention that is extended to Senator
Whitman when he speaks, and he
speaks quietly and with force"
Cream will settle on top. Tribune
readers will remember how this paper
endeayored to stem the wave of intel
lectual poverty and unfitness, rolled up
by few disgruntied politicians, which
swamped Mr. Whitman in the primary
for his denomination to the assembly.
Then there was both the serious and
ridiculous aspect; now there is the
smile of satisfaction. Few are the ex-
ceptions where man does not find his
level.
Iowa county is now proud of this ma
tive son she once treated so rudely.
There is no better gubernatorial timber
in the state than Platt Whitman of
Iowa county.

That the birds in coming back not

do mighty big work for the farmers.
See that everygun is put away. Teach
the boys the value of the birds. The
U. S. government says the loss to the
farmers each year from bugs, worms
and insects is one billion dollars and
much of this would be saved if the
birds were given chance to multiply.
