bid you see that account; it was in

another on the head with an iron bar,
and killed him, for insulting the flag.
OF course, it was a very wrong thing
to wipe his dirty hands on the flag.

was, but wasn't it worse to be a muir
derer? What if either one of them
was our boy? And how about young
Hoy, whose mother and sister died
on account of the sinking of the La
coma? Should the spirit of revenge
he shows be held up as one to be
emulated?
Mckinley showed a grander spirit,
when he received the fatal shot When
men fell upon the assassin and would
have torn him limb from limb, the
president simply said, Don't hurt
him."
Wasn't it Admiral Dewey who, when
the Spanish ships were sinking, said to
his men, Boys. don't cheer, those poor
fellows are dying down there"
The children have slipped quietly
and unobserved into the room, and are
sitting demurely in a row, with their
fingers in their ears. We smile, but
feel the reproof.
When children are present we
should not recount terrible things to
cloud their sunny days and bring
frightful imaginings to what should be
restful nights with happy dreams.

BITTERNESS AT MADISON

Senator BENEFIT has introduced reso-
lutions in the state senate which are
stirring up considerable commotion.
The resolutions have been referred.
Whereas, Under the present condi-
confronting our nation is one to COM
mand immediate action on the part
of congress and the President, and
Whereas, The continuing welfare
of the nation demands such action by
congress as will best and most ade-
quately secure to the American peo-
pie the protection of their lives, and
Whereas, Under the present condi-
tons, this can only be best attained by
such action by congress as will. with
out delay, give adequate appropria-
tons and such additional powers as
the President may be forced to use,
and
Whereas, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, in seeming disregard of the
present critical need of proper action
by congress, when failure to so act,
not only results in the loss of Ameri-
can lives, but postpones the secure
ment of such state of naval and mill
tary preparedness as will best insure
the protection Of our nation and pre-
serve national honor, and
Whereas, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, as United States senator
from Wisconsin, disregards; and by
his action nullifies, the expression of
| loyalty to and support of, the Presi-
| dent.in this crisis, to maintain the well
fare, honor and rights of our nation,
as recently declared by this legisla-
| ton, and
whereas, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette by presenting action of con-
| gress, or by seeking to delay such ac-
ton, does not reflect the loyalty and
patriotism of Wisconsin nor does he
express the sentiment of citizenship,
which in the time of impending dan
| ger, gave one man out of eight of
population, to preserve this nation,
| Therefore be it
Resolved, by the senate, the assem-
bly, concurring, that a copy of these
resolutions be submitted to the Presi-
dent and to both houses of congress
and a copy be sent to Robert NJ. La
| Toilette, and
Resolved, That it is the sentiment
of this legislature that Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette be respectfully petit
toned to act with the President in the
immediate securement of such action
by congress as will initiate and insure
naval and military preparation"

what is known as daylight construc-
ton. Steel sash will be used through

do a little talking. His opponent, At

portunity pass to set forth his own
merits, and Justice Marshall will have
to rely on his friends to pass around
the good word. Every lawyer who has

during the twenty years he has been
