Senator LaFOllette on H. c. of l..

Under the title Rescue the
Householder, Senator LaFollette
discusses the high cost of living
and urges the government to take
immediate action. His views are
contained in the leading editorial
in LaFollette's magazine. He de-
clares that the combination of cor
porations are to blame for the ris-
ing costs.
Always the trust profits, always
the consumer pays, says Senator
LaFollette =" The beef trust takes
its lucious melons. The grain
monopoly takes its heavy toll. The
cold storage trust picks the pockets
of those who must eat in order to
work and to live. The paper trust
fattens its treasury, while at the
same time checking the dissemina-
ton of intelligence among the peo-
pie. The coal trust holds the cou-
sumner 10 the highest price he can
bear in preference to freezing. The
leather trust pleads a shortage, yet
the high prices prevailing for cheap
grades of shoes are prices forced by
combination.
If the government of this coun-
try is to carry out faithfully its
function of public service it must
grapple with these mighty forces
these great comhinations-that are
today standing between the pro-
ducer and consumer, and blindly.
sordidly creating discomfort which,
if unchecked, may bring on a ca
tastrophe beside which the food
riots of old would appear insignifi-
cant.
Relief from the high cost of liv-
ing will come only when the rapa-
cious trusts are curbed. And the
trusts will be curbed. Congress and
the president will be forced to take
palliative measures. The peoples
representatives in high position
will be derelict if they do not come
Immediately to the rescue of the
householder.

ART OF GIVING.

Ordinary business sense would seem
TO compel the verdict that about the
best activity in the wofld is the get.
ting of things. Business consists chief
ly ia the art of getting and holding.
And yet the creates authority on
human life puts flie value Of giving
above that of getting. Jesus said: ut
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Every wise business man or
ganizes the receiving department Of
his business. But the giving depart
ment of the average American is
wholly mlOrganized. Comparatively
few men know or plan at the begin
ming of year how much they will give
during this year. With such men Civ.
Ing waits upon solicitation. The man
en- the street who begs the price of a
meal the man in the pulpit who pleads
the need of the heather, the begging
letters coming through the mails, all
tumble at the purse strings of the un-
organized man until ne OFTEN gives
from pure irritation. Yet the man
who thus spasmodically dispenses his
charities is rarely either a great sue
cess as a giver or much of a beneficiary
Of his own giving, says Minneapolis
Journal. The distribution of his gifts
usually is disproportionate to the
worth of the cause, nor does he often
give in the total as much as the man
who wisely planned his giving before
hand. A sound head may safely join
in with a warm heart in the art OF
giving. The giyer who gives by a
settled plan, carefully and heartily
considered. rarely has reason to regret
having given too much.

William Jennings BRYAN has
definitely decided that he will come
TO Wisconsin for the formal in
auguration of the campaign to make
Wisconsin dry, says a Madison dis
patch.
Assemblyman-elect William T.
Evjue, who will introduce bill for
a state wide referendum, received
word from Mr.. Bryan at Mama,
Florida, that he will come to Mad
ison on Monday, Jan. p, to be the
speaker at a mammoth mass meet.
ing to be held in the University
gymnasium on that date.
1t is expected that 1000 people
from all parts of the state will be
here on that date at the formal or
ganization of Wisconsin Dry fed
Grafton. The dry federation will
comprise representatives from all
of the anti-liquor associations in
the state and will also include rep
resentatives of organized labor and
the employers of the state.
The organization meeting will be
held in the evening. At the meet
ing in the afternoon tits prCb tble
that the Evjue referendum bill will
be endorsed and plans will be map
ped out for conducting a campaign
in the state until Wisconsin is
made dry" This committee AMI
organization will conduct cam
paign throughout the state in fav-
or of the Evjue bill.
These plans are the out growth
of meeting recently held in Mil
waukee at which preliminary plans
were discussed. 1t is probable that
Mark Hudson, who conducted the
campaign which made Michigan
dry, will aid in an advisory capaci-
ty in the Wisconsin campaign.
I have been in correspondence
with Mr.. Bryan for the past ten
days and he is extremely anxious
to be OF service IN the Wisconsin
fight" said Mr. Evjue. Mr.. Bryan
and his entrance into the Wiscon-
sin fight is bound to be impressive.
The Bryan mass meeting will in
my judgment, have a tremendous
effect in creating sentiment for
referendum vote in Wisconsin. "

The nervous man should associate
as much as possible with other men
who have courage and ginger, and not
with other neurotics. A man with back
bone is a tonic, and courage is conta-
gious, says Worlds work. Let the pa
tent associate with normal minds and
absorb from them; above all, keep
away from the wild-eyed long-haired,
frantic radicals-nlne out of ten of
them are neurotics and the thing they
think is the matter with the world isn't
lit can be traced to the fact that their
own engines are missing"
