Hans and Larry,

Wagner's greatest rival through the
20 span was Napoleon Lajoie who was
to the American league what Wagner
| was to the National. The Big German
| and the Big F'renchman are types that
no living fan will ever forget. Lajoie
served his twenty first ma jor league
years last season, and this spring
passes into the minors as . manager,
although he will still continue. to play.
How much further Wagner can go
is not to be called in advance. His
scalp is gray and his face is wrinkleA
from the eye strain OF facing countless
suns. But while winter may be on his
head, spring still waits in his soul.

hanging on through sentiment, but re-

Time has been reckoning him from

But the answer in his twentieth cam

this; Batting average 2s1; fielding

A NEW form of fire peril is coming
into prominence as cause of much
destruction, and its fires are go directly
associated with carelessness that it has
been deemed necessary to issue spec
ial warning to the people of the United
States. Because of their convenience,
small electric devices, such as pressing
irons, curling irons, toatsers, electric
pads or blankets, electric plate warm
ers, and electric sterilizers or heaters
are now to be found in almost every
community If these were to be used
with the proper care the danger would
be negligible, but, unfortunately pro-
portion of their users does not realize
the peril of leaving them in circuit
when not in use In such cases these
devices tend to become Overheated,
whereupon they are likely to set fire to
anything com5ustible with which they
are in contact.

Bennett Resolution.

The resolution proposed by State
Senator Bennett, calling attention to
the course of Senator La Toilette, is
respectful in tone and moderate in it's
requirement.
Nobody objects to Mr.. La Follette's
opposition to war, as such. Nobody
wants war. Everybody hopes and per-
haps prays it may be averted.
But if war is made upon US, what are
we going to do about it? Lie down and
submit? And if war appears likely to
be made upon us, what are we going to
do about that? Carefully abstain from
any preparations against the evil day?
Mr.. La Toilette is supposed to repre-
sent the state of Wisconsin and, spe-
officially, republican sentiment in Wis
consin. By his apparently perverse
and plainly obstructive opposition to
national self-defense and preparedness,
he is, we believe, grossly nisrepresent-
ing both.
But the country, generally, may not
see that. 1t may naturally assume
that there is so large an element of
sheep-hearted pacifism and slack-baked
Americanism in this state that it's SEN
ior senator feels obligated to represent
that element and thus counterfeit the
impression made by men like Husting
and Lenroot.
The state is, we believe, strong for
self-defense against any foreign ag-
gressions and for ample preparedness
for it.. AS Senator La Toilette is OPP
posing both, with his usual crotchetty
disposition to ''fiock by himself" and
to ''rock the boat" in any public ques-
tion where sensible and patriotic men
agree, he is not representing the. state
he is supposed to represent in this con-
nection. Where Wisconsin made its
mistake was in not electing Mr.. Jeffris
in place of Mr.. La Toilette when it had
the chance.
Senator Bennett is a strong and fiery
speaker who can put in the verbal ia
base to any extent when in fighting
trim and it is hoped he will give the
legislature and the public generally a
specimen of his ability in that line
suited to the occasion when he pushes
his resolution. Milwaukee Sentinel.

THE Courier-Hub is lOathe to believe
that the people of this state are willing
to dispense with the services on the SUI
preme bench of man of such pre-emi-
nent ability as Justice r. d. Marshall.
It's reason for so believing is based up
on what the people have heretofore
done every time an attempt has been
made to unseat a judge of their own
choosing. And why, pray, should any
other candidate for the place be seri-
ously considered at this time, now that
Justice Marshall has announced his
willingness to stand for reelection? 1t
is matter of common knowledge that
Justice Marshall is physically strong
and abundantly able to perform the
duties of the office. So far as mental
capacity is concerned, all admit that he
is one of the brainiest men that ever
graced the supreme bench. AS stu
dent, ripened lawyer before entering
upon his judicial duties, an engine of
industry with knowledge of law and
human affairs that enables him to il
lumine every case that he decides, he
deserves and richly merits, the small
measures of commentator which the
press throughout the state IS able to
give him. In the opinion of this paper,
it would be profigate waste of know
ledge to relegate to private life men
who, like justice Marshall. have spent
the greater part of their lives master
ing the miracles of law and equity, a
task few perform even in a lifetime,
however assiduously they apply them
selves to it.-Stoughton Courier Hub.

A LOT Of this talk of the high cost Of

which we eat because we like them and
not because we need them. Take the

potatoes and propose to have them no
