LENROOT HAS BOOM FOR
SPEAKER.

Washington, Dec. Shy Union AS
ISOLATED Press)-Although the read
ing of the Presidents annual message
is the biggest item of the program
OF the national legislature today, 9TH
er matters relating to appointments
and patronage are engaging the at
tention of senator's and congressman.
An interesting situation re~volves
around the speakership. Progressive
objections to James R. Mann, Republic
can floor leader in the House, as
Speaker, may result in a compromise
on Representative Irvine l.. Lenroot,
OF Wisconsin for Speaker in the next
Congress.
Mr.. Lenroot is regarded as one of
the most radical of the Progressives
who have stayed continuously in the
party fold. He is a close friend, ad-
mirer and follower of Senator. La
Toilette, and agrees with Battling
Bob on most questions. He has been
behind Senator La Toilette in virtual
~ every fight waged by the Senator,
either in Congress or in Wisconsin.

SHOPPING.

When Nellie shopping goes today
She has to hurry on her way,
She starts at day break so that she
May get back home in time for tea.
She visits one department store,
Then sees the movie show next door.
That done she goes across the street
To look at slippers for her feet.
And then of course she has to 60
To see a Mary Pickford show.
And when she sees six reels of that
She hunts for ribbons for her hat.
She grabs a hasty lunch and then
Resumes her shopping tour again,
But Farnum in a wild west play
Is being featured for today
And so the movie gets her dime
And fifty minutes of her time.
Some candy for the kids she buys,
Then Harold Lockwood's name she spies,
Then cnce again the tempter calls,
And for the flicker play she falls. Ii.
At 6 o'clock we hear her say:
I'm all played out, l shopped today"

SHOULD FUTURE GENERATIONS PAY,

In all the large public undertakings whert
permanent improvements were sought to be mad,
it has become a custom to issue longtime bonds
in order to secure the money with which tt
finance the work.
Probably nine-tenths of the counties of nine
tenths of the states of the union are bonded te
a greater or less extent, and scarcely a city o,
town of any Importance in the land but carries its
bonded debt that has gone to pay for public
utilities.
But in many cases the advocates of the bono
issue have had hard fights to carry their projects
through. One of the most serious objections has
always been from the man who doesn't believe
in saddling a debt on future generations"
Now let us see about this. Suppose, for in
stance, our country has no railroad. For genera
lions our ancestors, and we ourselves, have labor
iously hauled in our supplies and hauled out our
products, realizing, when all expenses were met,
but a meagre pittance for our years work.
But a railroad is projected and we are told
if we will bond our county for a few hundred
thousand dollars, it will be put through. This
we do. Now rises the objection that we have
placed a heavy debt on posterity.
Have we?
Les. DuL dC LHe same Clme we nave given
p~osterity the means to pay that debt and then be
infinitely better off than we and our fathers were.
Compare for a moment the difference in their
condition, and ours before the road was built.
The average county is about twenty-five miles
wide. Suppose that represented the distance to
the nearest shipping point. Do you see the enor-
nous saving we have effected for posterity in
bringing the road to their doors?
Again, take the question of pixies. The same
reasoning will hold good there. Whereas we and
our fathers toiled through mud and mire to drag
fifteen bushels of grain to market, our sons can
hitch up an ordinary team and take a load Of
two or three thousand pounds with ease and in
much less time than we needed.
And so on through the list of all permanent
improvements.
But the work should be permanent, or at least
as nearly permanent as our best judgment can
make it. When W. have builded to the best of
our ability and have lain a groundwork on which
our children can continue to build; we have not
only benefited ourselves and not injured them,
but we have benefited them, and made it pos
sible to attain to conditions that were entirely be-
yond our reach.
A debt on p~osterity is just, provided it repre-
3ents tangible asset.
