La TOILETTE

Golfers has taken Senator La Fol
lette's part in the past 1t did so
cheerfully while the senator from Wis
consin was making his fight against
the greedy cliques in the Republican
party. He was by no means a paladin
at any time. His sword was drawn in
many a factional brawl and for more
than one dubious enterprise. But gen.
orally he gave the impression of sim
cerity and public spirit. He gives
quite different impression now. His
conduct in the senate is the conduct
of man who has abandoned ideals
of public good and is swayed by a
wounded egotism and morose and
dangerous envy. His outlook on hui
man life and human motives in cyni-
cal, and his suspicious amount almost
to form Of political paranoia. He
sees nothing glorious in war for hui
integrity of the American people in
this crisis, nothing horrible in the
vil1ainies of the German government,
nothing uncomfortable in the murder of
American citizens, nothing inconsist-
ent with his character as a senator Of
the United States in joining his efforts
with those of the paid agents of Berlin
by teaching class hatred. So far as
it is possible to discern the objects
Of mind so twisted, he seems intent
upon creating a Jacobin mountain
in the senate; but, Judging by his
progress so far, it will never amount
to more than an Insignificant enodule
around an Insignificant nucleus, and
will commemorate solely his own uni
seemly exhibition Of rancor and dis
appointed personal ambition at mo-
ment when the people of this country,
of all shades of political opinion and
all degrees of personal fortune, have
made great sacrifices and are ready
to make the greatest in behalf of the
future safety Of the republic.

AGENT FOR BERLIN

La Toilette again! He wants the
senate to begin at once the discussion
of peace terms" Of course, such a
move is in aid Of Germany. Flatly, it
is against the people of the United
States, against the people of Wiscon-
sin, against the people of the county
of Dane, against the people Of the city
of Madison. The senate, and the house,
too, has wasted and is wasting all
kinds of time as it is with "investiga-
tionsp and a few other things, and if
it should begin to talk about peace
we would never get any relief from
food combinations and coal barons;
indeed, if we will get any as it is.
Wisconsin voted with it's eyes open
last year. It supported Hughes and
Philip, vigorous Americans; also La
Toilette, blatant agent for Berlin, as
events now show. La Toilette is be-
ginning the first year of his new term
of six years. He is doing this country
a mischief by his latest proposal. But

NEW ENGLAND PEOPLE ARE
NOT STUPID

In a story by Mary Heaton Worse in
the October Woman's Home Compan-

II have known many people to be
irritated by this quality of some New
England communities; to argue that
it meant hard-heartedness, pride, stu
pidity. But to me this quality is touch
ing, for I know that these New Eng
landers who live away their calm, up

who are so sincerely panied and sur

are forever sizzling and stewing in
plain view at last boil over, are not
stupid. They are living in "a past and
beautiful tradition They went to
sleep, who knows how long ago, and
they dream that the world never

Tiers wrested unlimited opportunity

haps in that fierce struggle with will
derness and their gnawing consciences
they spent the first vigor of their

NEW SYSTEM OF
SUSPENOING CARS
DISSIPATES SHOCKS

Entirely obviating, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine for October, the
need of shock absorbers, new sort
of spring has been developed which
is suited alike for pleasure cars and
trucks 1t replaces the ordinary type
of spring and is purported to carry
vehicle over rough roads smoothly
and without the usual vibrations ana
rebounds. In one form it consists of
a wedge, supported on the axle, that
works between two spring-controlled
rollers mounted in frame attached
to the body. In another instance, the
sides of the wedge are toothed bars
against which cogs, instead of rollers,
operate. The principle of the device
is. the same in each case. Coil springs,
held horizontally, are employed. Their
r.coil, after sudden compression, is
exerted against the wedge instead Of
upwardly against the body. This
causes the latter to return graually
and without jolting to its normal ridA
ing position.

THE FEAR OF DEATH

They were discussing death. a lit
tie group of men of them in the best
of health, and the glory of living. Men
| of the world, in sense, and ENJOYING
| life to its utmost, the subject of death
was introduced by the announcement
that a widely known man with whom
| all of them had been acquainted, had
passed away.
One of the party said he hated to
think of death, that he was actually
afraid to think of it. He so loved life
that death seemed a terrible enemy,
! and he would like to escape it. But
, the philosopher of the party--only he
was not known as philosopher until
! he delivered his little preachment--
said he could not understand such an
attitude toward death.
II am not afraid of anything that is
natural, '.he said. 'It is the unnat-
ural that alarms me- Itwould be un-
natural to live forever, and I would
hate to be sentenced to such a punish
ment. But death is natural; am not
afraid Of it. Billions of people have
died; they are dying every day. Ev-
cry soul on earth must pass away !;
even the trees and plants die. Little
children have died and old men and
women, and the birds and beasts all
pass away, and the fishes in the
streams, and every living thing upon
| the earth is to die. Why, then, should
a great hulk of chap like myself, one
who has had and is having his time,
why should I fear death?"
Not afraid of that which is natural!
If only all of us could understand that
| the natural is good, and the unnatural
bad, what splendid world it would
