The present session of the legis-
lature has been prolonged 90 days
or more, beyond all reasonable re-
quirements, because of the actions
of the progressives and a few pin
head democrats to play politics
and hamstring the governor in his
efforts to carry out the pledges of
his party to the people-and now,
they would further burden the peo-
pie by increasing the pay of the
members of the Legislature from
$500 TO 81 900. The Legislature of
Illinois was in session about sixty
days, a state with twice the popu-
lation of Wisconsin and then Min
nesota and Michigan with about
the same population as this state
were in session about sixty days
and each of the three legislatures
transacted more business than the
Legislature of Wisconsin.

Making Progressive Steps,

The management of the Leader
believes that a newspaper to be
modern and up-to-the-mlnute must
employ modern methods in the is
suing of such a paper. To that end,
a Model K Linotype has been pur-
chased from the Mergenthaler Limo
type Company and word has been
received to the effect that the same
was Slipped from New York City
on Thursday last.
With this wonderful machine, 1t
is assured there will be notewor-
thy Improvement in the Leader,
not only in the way OF news ser
vice, but in its mechanical appear
ance as we'll. The further assur-
ance is made that the many read
ers who have stood by the Leader
through the many years OF hand
composition will have no regrets
for their loyalty and will have all
the more reason to continue mem
bers of the Leaders family OF rea-
ders. 1t is naturally expected that
the marked Improvement IN the
paper will add quite materially to
increase the number of readers.
With the addition of the Limo
type, the scope of the commercial
usefulness of the Leader will ex-
pand-at least that is a dream OF
the management which they earn
estly hope will prove a reality.
The trade is earnestly solicited Tor
a share Of their business in the
way of Linotype composition. All
such orders will receive prompt at
tention and prices are assured that
will prove saving over those
charged in the larger cities. In the
course of couple of weeks, a more
detailed and individual announce
ment will be made to the trade.
1t is expected that the compost
ton of the Leader of the issue of
August IT, will be set entirely in
The Linotype Way Improve
ments have been announced in the
equipment of the Leader plant
from time to time during the past
few months and further improve
ments are promised just as fast as
the business will warrant. Prog
ress is the watchword of the Lea
der.

Quit your kidding, Lou! A ma

duce taxation and give the state an
economical administration, but soon
after the legislature convened, the
progressives, who do not care for
the welfare of the burdened tax

What a humiliating view the vo-
tiers of Wisconsin have had during
the present legislature of the lack
of manhood, and common patrio-
tism of the members of that body
that are known as the LaFollette
obstructionists. They have fought
like dogs over a bone to keep up
the old commission system of state
government that has been robbing
the taxpayers OF millions of their
hard earned money. Not a man
jack among them but has shown
his utter unhtness to be trusted by
the people. All they are after is to
maintain the old system and still
further rob the people. Every man
among them from Senators Boss
hard and Skogmo down to the last
whlpper-snapper in the gang ought
to be held up to public disapprov-
prevail for the rest of their natur-
al lives. They are utterly unfit to
be considered friends of the peo-
pie of their state. Down among
the dead men let them lie. "-Jef-

ly because he gives so little to Wash
ington. The presidency is such big
job these days that the man who
fills it must neglect a few little de-
tails like supplying Washington with
subjects for social gossip and giving
the glad hand to a stream of leading
citizens from Spoon River, Silver
Springs and way points.
Those who know the president we'll
say he avoids numerous personal ir-
terviews not because he does not like
companionship, but because he likes
it too we'll. When he opens his mind
to caller he gives and takes too
many impressions. 1t taxes his
strength and interferes with the or
derly course of his thought. And
SO, just because he is so very human,
he must give to some the impression
that he is a cold-blooded thinking
machine.
