NEXT Friday night at the Park hotel,
Madison, is the time and place of the
annual banquet of the Home Rule and
Taxpayers league. The affair is to be
strictly non-partisan, non-political in
fact. as men of all party associations
are free to attend and take part. The
set speeches are to be by both republi-
cans and democrats without preference
or restriction In fact, it is to partake
of the nature Of conference for the
promoters of the principles of the
Home Rule and Taxpayers league,
chief among which are to bring relief
to the taxpayers from the burden of
over-taxation, to do away with bureau
cracy in government, to restore to the
people greater degree of home rule
and bring back to the electors greater
governmental privileges. 1t is expect
ed that Thomas Kearney of Racine will
preside and that there will be at least
six principal speakers who will be as
signed subjects for set speeches.
Among those who are expected to take
part in the speech-making are James
Clancy of Stoughton, Clare B. Bird of
Wausau, Neal Brown of Wausau, for
mer Assemblyman A. T. Twesme of
Galesville, L. K Luce of Superior,
Judge John G. Karal of Milwaukee and
possibly others.

THE weakness and theories Of the
would-be friends of labor whose friend
ship is inspired by their own lust for
office, is all that their theories for help
ing labor are confined exclusively to
the adoption of laws regulating employ
ment and conditions under which SER,
vice shall be rendered. Not one of
them ever dreamed of helping labor by
creating jobs for labor; not one ever
erected a smokestack, and not one OF
them has ever been in a position where
he was compelled to meet laborer's
payroll. The first thing the laborer
wants and must have is work, not laws.
He cannot live on laws, nor will laws
shelter him from inclement weather.
Laws are neither good to eat nor wear,
and make a mighty poor umbrella for
rainy weather. The laborer must have
work first, and then reasonable laws
regulating the conditions under which
the work shall be performed. After
being provided with work, the next
thing he needs is plenty of work,
multitude of jobs, because an abun-
dance of jobs creates demand for his
bone, muscle and skill, and this demand
raises his wages for the reason that
wages depend upon the laws of supply
and demand Laws do not create jobs.
Sometimes they abolish them; so that
the great thing to be considered in
passing laws for labor's benefit is to
see that such laws will not destroy the
Jobs labor must have in order to main
tain it's existence. 1t is easy to legis
late. but not so easy to build up indus
tries. While the conditions under which
one man shall serve another may pre-
scribe by law. even down to the mi
nutest detail, no law can be passed to
compel one man to hire another. When
hard times come, as they surely will,
and iobless men look for work, of what
earthly use are laws regulating ser
vices? There must be work for willing
workers first, and it must be carried on
under conditions which will be fair to
both employer and employee. The
matter of wages and employment are
not subjects of legislation. Work must
precede pay; there must be the en-
blower before there can be the en-
ployee. and the employer must be per-
mitted to make sufficient money to
maintain his position as an employer,
and the laborer must be permitted to
maintain his position as an American
citizen. Madisonian.

an unsssuming with unlimited devotion
to home and friends.

great sufferer.
The only relative left to mourn his
irreparable loss is the son George.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Hooton of the M. E. church, were held
from the home Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock and interment was made in

EVERY taxpayer in the state might
with interest and profit to himself Sc
cure a copy of a pamphlet, Message
to the People," and carefully peruse
and digest the report Gov. Philip has
made of his administration. 1t is the
most comprehensive review of every
activity of the state accompanied by
facts and figures taken from depart
ment records that will disprove the un-
fair statements of a swarm of oppo-
nents who are now doing their level
best to confuse and misrepresent the
governors honest efforts for economy

quietly in your homes, and pass it on

Ohio State Journal. = One of the
beauties of the primary 8! stem: At
least four out of five candidates per-
son votes for today he doesn't know
and never saw. But like good Amer
lean citizen he goes to the polls and
chooses between men he knows nothing
about 1t is said there are $50 republic
can candidates and about 70 democratic
and from this multitude man must
perform, as Carlyle says, ''the most
important social feat body of men
can do-to winnow out man that is to
govern them" 1t is pretty serious
problem the primary presents to man,
for in choosing he is just as likely to
make bad choice as good one. What
does the vox populi mean anyway if
the cards are stacked against it? How
is a voter to select the best man if the
candidates seem all the same to him?
We have no doubt but today many of
the best men will '.get left. I"

SENATOR LA TOILETTE opened his
primary campaign at Sun Prairie last
week, commenting on which the Coun-
tryman says: 1.-The democrats, pro-
gressives especially, called it good
democratic speech. Old time republic
cans felt the same way about it. Pro-
gressive republicans called it great
progressive speech, appealing to pro-
gressive democrats and republicans
alike, to stand together in the fight
against monopoly and greed of the
money power"

Pullman Silent On
Vice Raid Charges

Major Pullman today declined to make
any statement regarding the sworn
testimony OF Detectives Howes and
Simpson and Sergeant Cats that he
sanctioned the forcible entry Of houses
by members OF the "vice squad" bent on
making raids.
Detective Howes. who is on trial In
the Police Court for entering Mrs. Rose
Kennett's home without a warrant, said
Major Pullman knew his methods OF
making raids and had manifested Ella
ton over them.
He said he was given Instructions by
the superintendent OF police to get In
any way YOU cam"
This testimony by Howes was corro-
borated by Simpson and Cats, both
OF whom said they had similar tnstruc-
tons. and that Major Pullman fully
sanctioned their raids.
The three officers. by their testimony,
put the full responsibility for their Of
fetal conduct on the head OF the police
department.
Major Pullman today said he had read
the testimony OF the three officers, but
said he had no statement to make He
would neither deny nor affirm what the
Officers said about his being responsible
for their raids.
The SUPERINTENDENT said he had not
vet been summoned as witness In the
Kenneth case. and had not been inform
ed as to whether he would be summon

are that Hughes will be the nominee.
Here rises the question whether Hughes
will not become perturbed over the
turmoil and bitterness of the contending
factions, ard at any hour send word he
VIII not take the nomination. The
Hughes leaders profess to have no
doubt of their ability to force the nomI-
nation OF their candidate on an early
ballot.
The favorite SONS are making only
perfunctory progress. None of them is
In sight of nomination. Adding to the
serious and solemn nature of this re-
markable occasion, with danger of a
breach between Republicans and Bull
Moose, was the fact that all day yes
terday, last night, and today, there has
been cold rain. with n driving wind
from the lake.
Dismal skies and untoward weather
cast gloom over the personnel OF
both conventions, and led some to make
ominous forebodings.
To add further to the difficulties OF
an already difficult situation. Senator
La Toilette has Sent his secretary Col.
John Hannah, to the scene OF action
with instructions to try to force an
arms embargo plank into the Republi-
can platform. This has stirred up hy-
phenism In a new FORM.

The demonstration occurred when the
Pennsylvania delegates marched into

Immediately the room was in an up

the latter Is nominated on a vigorous

1t is realized by the Republican lead

Couldn't Afford to Plead
Guilty in Such a State

NEW ALBANY. Ind, June 7.-Samuel
schumpert. of Shreveport. La. asked
Judge ]. NJ. Paris. when arraigned in
circuit court here recently on a charge
OF burglary. to permit him to read the
law after the judge had informed him
the penalty was from ten to twenty
years.
schumpert said he could not AFFORD TO
plead guilty. as he had been in other
states where the penalty was only one
that the court was not deceiving him
after he had been permitted to read
the law. AS he handed the statute
book TO the judge he said:
We'll, let 1t go at that but did not
ngure on more than one to fourteen"

Secretary James Il. Reynolds next
road the official call for The convention
being greeted with good-natured APP
The reading wasn't audible to more
than fifty people. Reynolds being plain
~ little weak of voice through stage
frisht. Therefore. the. convention
buzzed away at conversation.
The inattention paid to REYNOLDS was
so fragrant that Murray Crane finally
came to the front of the stand caught
hilles' attention. and motioned for him
got a modicum of order. Reynolds got
a good-natured hand as he finished.
Hil1s next presented Senator Warren
9. Harding as the nominee for tompor-
tence for this function.
Harding Applauded.
Harding's name got a goodly burst of
applause. and there being no other nomi-
nations for the keynote lob. he was
named by reclamation.
Hilles appointed as a committee to
escort the Ohioan to the platform,
Crane. Borah. and Mckinley. OF Illinois.
The latter two had been waiting patti
emily In teh aisle for the lob right be-
side Harding. Cranes name got a howl
much.
Crane and Mckinley finally took over
the lob since somebody yelled that
Borah hadn't arrived.
As Harding's well-known figure ap-
peared on the platform the first real
spontaneous burst Of applause came
from the hall. He began reading his
speech at exactly ll:T.
Harding's plea that the split OF four
years ago be healed, that the differ
ences be forgotten, evoked the frst
round OF hand-clapping and cheers.
1t was but momentary. the delegates
apparently being anxious to hear ex-
actly what he had TO say.
His statement that the United States
should be prepared stirred a rafting
round OF applause and the speaker
took advantage OF the storm OF APP
