When 1 read of so many crimes
committed by boys between the ages
of 1 4 and 18 it makes me feel awfully
bad. It seems tome some one ought
to start an employment agency, for
it is high time something is being
done. There are so many boys idle
and they get in bad company.

who went wrong and from nothing
else but idleness. He looked for
work so long that he got discouraged
and fell in bad company. There is
a nice boy, a grammer school gradu-
ate, in our block who has been look
ing for work for long time and l
suppose he will be next.
There certainly must be work in so
large a city, but it seems they don't
just know how to find it. That's why
suggest that some one start an en-
ployment Office down town for boys
that come out of school. ....
There are a great many boys who
would work if given a chance. 1t
certainly seems shame to see them
all sent to reform schools. l long

home and dread it, too. He writes
to me regularly and feels so bad for
what he has done, but when he
comes out they will all turn him

work before. What will it be then?

that the belief in the Deity has never

My answer is this: That humanity

THE STRONGEST REASON.

If President Wilson shall be re-
elected, as he deserves to be, and as
the signs of the times indicate that
he will be, then will the result Of the
balloting on the seventh of November
next bring to the American people an
inestimabIe blessing, it will renew and
confirm their faith in themselves and
in their capacity for self government.
Then will they know in very turth that
an intelligent, active interest in the
public affairs, on the part of all the
people, will bring good results. Faith
in the common man, and in his capa-
eiety, is true democracy. Based upon
this faith, there was worked out on
our great western frontier, the correct
idea of one man, one vote. This was
for years the soul and strength Of this
great republic But there grew up in
Washington, and in many of the state
capitals, invisible governments, which
became more powerful than the will of
the people. To great extent they
took over the functions Of government,
and ruled by the entrenched power Of
special privilege. AS result, the
people, in large measure, lost inter
est, and lost heart, in that which
should be the greatest concern Of free
men, namely, the political life Of the
state and nation Political editorials
disappeared from newspapers; or, If
they were published at all, they were
of a perfunctory nature, and lacked
the real life and fire of earnest politi-
cal discussion. Political meetings
were advertised in vain; and men Of
note were often compelled to speak
to empty benches, if they spoke at all.
But president Wilson has Destroy
ed invisible government at Washing
ton and emancipated the American
people from the lobby and from the
rule of privilege working through po-
litical corruption" Moreover, he has
talked face to face with the members
of congress, and has taken the people
into his confidence; and under his re-
sponsible leadership Democrats and
Republicans have enacted the will of
the people into wise and wholesome
laws. AS a lawgiver, his record is I'M
exampled.
The defeat of President Wilson, and
the turning of the ship of state over
to the old reactionary crew, who
would take orders from captains of
Especial privilege, would be dishearten-
ing to that grand army of patriots
Democrats, Republicans, and Indepen-
dents who are trying to work out a
better democracy, and who desire
above all things that the people take
an interest in public affairs and run
their own government. But his re-
election, which is deserved, and which
seems assured, would be an inspiration
to good citizenship. This is, perhaps.
the strongest reaon why PRECEDENT Will
son should be given vote of approval.

NEEDS WOLFE

We desire to call the attention Of
our readers to the fact that William
f. Wolfe, democratic candidate for
United States Senator, can and will
be elected to the United States Sen
ate, provided he gets the solid dem
ocratic vote in the state. We believe
that he is entitled to this, not alone
because of the work which he has
done in this campaign, but because
of the unbroken record of services
which he has rendered to the Demo-
cratic party in each campaign since
1883. He is surely better democrat
than his opponent, and he he's assist
ed in maintaining our party in prin-
ciple and organization in Wisconsin
throughout all of the days when Sem
ator La Toilette sought to destroy it.
It is, moreover, of the utmost i'm
portance that the Democratic party
retain control of the United States
Senate; and equally important if he
should be defeated for it surely
would be disastrous to the Demo-
cratic party, as well as to our coun-
try, if the splendid achievements in
the domain of legislation thus far ac-
cOmplished should be nullified, with
out first having had fair trial
Mr.. Wolfe is conducting an imper-
sonal campaign, but he has deemed
it fair to submit a legislative record
of Senator La Toilette on some of
the more important democratic meas
ures of which the democrats of this
country can well boast. This record
shows that in most instances the Sem
ator opposed the administration on
vital measures and on others he fail
ed to vote at all.
We know how earnestly the admin
istration desires Mr.. Wolfe's cleo
ton, and we hope that every fair
minded democrat will ues his best
endeavors to see that every democrat
in this community will vote for Mr..
Wolfe for United States Senator. We
hope that each democrat will DO this
on the theory that Mr.. Wolfe not
only deserves their support as dem
ocrat and as their nominee, but also
for the purpose of preserving the
usefulness of the party in the nation.

THREE REASONS.

The Independent, now incorpo-
rated with Harper's Weekly, in its
recent national poll, received a let
ter from Mrs. A. C. Hindman, of
Boise, Idaho, who stated in three
sentences her reasons why Presi-
dent Wilson should be reelected.
Her letter was accorded high
praise by the editor, not only for
its epigramatic brevity, but for the
soundness of the reasons expressed
therein. They are stated as fol-
low:
"First-He has kept US out Of
war"
Second He has kept us out of
war"
Third He has kept US out Of
war"

dent Wilson, and that is that in the
final analysis, the Mexican people
have the same inalienable, Gog-given
right to determine what kind and
form of government they may desire
that we, as Americans, claim and ar
rogate unto ourselves. It is no secret
that the Mexican people, under what
ever leader they may march, or what
ever faction they may be member
of, are united on one thing, and that
is that they desire to work out their
own salvation in governmental af-
fairs without the intervention of a
foreign army. Briefly, it will be up
to you to say, in the ensuing election,
which view is right, and what policy
ought to be adopted"
