OF talk is an excuse, rather than
reason for conditions. The truth is
that the larger corporate interests
have very often, if not generally,
'dished' themselves and their friends
in this state, for the past fifteen
years. Those that have not, like a
majority of the smaller public utility
companies, have gone into more or
less open companionship and cooper
alton with the progressive politicians.
They have not been to blame for this,
either. There were no politics, and
no parties, and they have looked out
for their own interests as was their
right and necessity. Evidence of this
sort of politics in the senate gives the
lie to those who charge the governor
with being the defender of corpora
tions. Up to date the surface indica-
tions look more as if he was their vic
tim.
In the long repetition of warnings,
that these letters have been guilty of,
against all sorts of public extraya-
gance, municipal extravaganza has
never been minimized. A good many
Wisconsin cities have been "enjoy-
ing" great uplift of expenses and
taxes, and bonded debt, and | have
drawn only plying smiles from the
numerous neophytes of the great new
industry of increasing public employ
ment and providing public services
that private individuals ought to at
tend to for themselves. There is such
thing possible, though the first case
has just come to light, as city's be-
coming bankrupt under this new sys-
TEN. Already all cities are paying
from to per cent for money, that,
but for this tendency to extravaganza
they could borrow at as low rates as
the government does. They did prac-
tically that, ten years ago. Wiscon-
sin cities were borrowing for 315 and
eastern cities for per cent then.
Now the New England cities get
money for per cent and ours pay Az
and 5. 1t is big boost. Nashville,

commissioners, and the treasurer are

officers have issued bonds that were
unauthorized, and that extravaganza
is only one of the troubles with their
government. The city corporation is
not above the rules that govern other
corporations. 1t will suffer in credit
from the same causes.

Then, on the other hand, the cor

But the corporation agent has his
excuse. He will tell you that the
governor had no organization himself
and refused to help make one. The
natural result was that it was "ev-
erybody for himself, and the devil
take the hindermost" The corpora
lions and the liquor interests and the
friends of education all took care
of one another. because they wanted
TO take care of themselves. They had
the cohesion of common interest in
securing their own measures, and
when that end was served, they had
antagonized the governor, and there
was no way of getting cooperation
for anything but the defeat or emas-
culStion of his measures. This sort

as the antagonism to Mr.. Phillip is
concerned, from the 'Progressiyes of
both parties, and especially in the
senate, the monumental fact stands
out that the large corporation inter
ests seem to have had very little
trouble with these Uriah Heep pat

protestations about the water power

made to wear them by making their

LONG MINDED SESSION.
State Legislature Give indications Of
Closing Before Snow Flies.
(By Ellis B. Usher.)


After 200 days the legislature has
this week done some things that look
like closing up before snow fles. 1t
is early to sum up, and it is hopeless
to prophesy what the achievements
of this absurd waste of time have
really been. Oliver Wendall Holmes
had the correct idea when he said:
"Never prophesy unless you know"
and to have the real accomplishments
of this winter and summer, and per-
haps fall, session, will require months
perhaps years, of future experience.
One thing was assured from the be-
giuning, and will be to the end, - tax
es will be higher, and state expenses
will be greater than ever before.
There was only one escape from this
result and that has not been tried,
viz, to repeal the laws that Tapped
expenses over from the last admins
tration, and to cut the liver out of all
those progressive appliances over
which DR.. Mccarthy and his kind
have so long exulted, known as "con-
tinuing appropriations. These, and
the mill taxes of various kinds, in
crease year by year, automatically, as
the tax commission and local asses
sors boost assessments. Notwith-
standing income taxes, inheritance
taxes, corporation taxes, automobile
taxes, occupation taxes and what not,
that are piling up new burdens all the
time, the taxes on land go up steadi-
ly, also, and with them the mill taxes
and the continuing appropriations"
for the university and the Normal
schools rise automatically. The mex
Orable progressiveness of this system
was not grasped by Governor Philip,
when he said in his inaugural mess
age: 1.-THE agencies of government
should at all times be kept under the
control of the people" Toward that
laudable end, the pruning of the
suckers from our constitutional sys-
tenn, the session and the first year of
this administration will prove prac-
tically barren of results.

taking the card of one of them and
leaving them in the drawing room.

went out toward the back of the house.

The leader looked about, then leaned
over and whispered, We've just had
word, professor, that your model of
the torpedo has been stolen from the
navy department in Washington"
"Stolen?" repeated Kennedy, staring
aghast.
Yes. We fear that an agent of a
foreign government has found a trail
tor in the department"
Rapidly Kennedy's mind pictured
what might be done with the deadly
weapon in the hands Of an enemy.
and" added the secret service
man, I'VE have reason to believe that
this foreign agent is using a China
man, WI Fang"
But WI has been arrested" replied
Craig. Il arrested him myself. The
police have him now"
Then you don't know Of his es-
cape?"
Kennedy could only stare as they
told the story.
The crook fell back and dropped
down behind the palms. Jennings
looked about, but saw no one and
stood there puzzled. Then the crook,
fearing that he might be captured at
any moment, looked about to see
where he might hide the torpedo.
There did not seem to be any place.
| Quickly he began to dig out the earth
in one of the palm pots. He dropped
the torpedo, wrapped still in the hand
kerchief, into the hole and covered IT
up.
Jennings was clearly puzzled. He
had seen someone rush in, but the
conservatory was apparently empty
He had pust turned to 60 out when he
saw a palm move. There was face!
He made a dive for it and in a mo-
ment both he and the crook were roll
ing over and over.

better now, was waiting. He had
pulled long coat over his Chinese
clothes and wore q SLOUGH hat. As
he looked at the incoming passengers
he spied the man he was waiting for,
the young crook who had been wait
ing in the shrubbery outside the ma y
building when the torpedo model was
thrown out.
The man had the model carefully
wrapped up under his arm. AS his eye
travelled over the crowd he recognized
WI, but did not betray it. He walked
by, and as he passed hastily handed
WI the package containing the model.
WI slipped it under his coat. Then
each went his way, in opposite direc-
tions.
1t was a close race between the car
bearing the two crooks and that which
Kennedy had impressed into service,
but we kept on through the city and
out across the country, into Connecti-
cut.
Time and again they almost got
away, until it became a question of
| following tire tracks. Once we came
to cross roads and Kennedy stopped
and leaped out. Deeply planted in
the mud he could see the tracks of
the car ahead leading out by the left
road. Close beside the tire tracks
were the footprints of two men going
up the right-hand road toward the
sound.
You follow the car md the driver"
decided Craid hastily indicating the
road by which it had gone. I'll fol-

ing the two crooks.
Already the wounded crook, sup
ported by his pal, had made his way
down to the water and had come to
a long wharf. There, near the land
end, they had a secret hiding place
into which they went. The other crook
drew forth a smoke signal and began
to prepare it.
Kennedy and l were able, now, to
move faster than they. AS We came

They rushed out and into the conser-
vatory in time to see the crook, who
had broken away, knock out Jennings.
He sprang to his feet and darted
away.
Kennedy's mind was working rapid
ly. Had the man been after the other
model? The detectives went after
him. But Craig went for the torpedo.
As he looked into the tank, it was
gone! He turned and followed the
crook.
Twas still in the garden with Elaine
and Aunt Josephine when l heard
sounds of a struggle and a moment
later a man emerged through the win

The secret service men fired at him.
but he kept on. A moment later Craig
came through the window.
The crook by this time had reached
the top of the wall. Just as he was
about to let himself down safely on
the other side, a shot struck him. He
pitched over and ran forward.
But he had just enough OF q start.
In spite of the shock Of the wound
