Senator La Toilette. Of the two we
prefer La Follette's stand

The German attitude in regard to
occupied territory is not acceptable
to the Russians-not even to the mass
Sc of those enrolled under the banner
of the Bolsheviki It is the Bolsheviki
Red Guard, composed of workingmen,
that is reported to have started for
the fighting front with full intention
to renew hostilities. The German gov
eminent was able to fool some of the
Russian people some of the time, but
does not seem to be able to fool all of
them all of the time. Meanwhile there
are fears in the citadel Of German au-
tocracy that the example of any des-
cription of popular government IN
Russia would make the maintenance
of German autocracy more difficult in
the future than it has been in the past,
and these fears very likely are not I'M
founded.

The Bank that does things for YOU
Philips VS.. La Toilette

The people of all parties in the state
of Wisconsin cannot comprehend or
understand Gov. Philips position in
reference to filling the place made va
cant by the sudden death of Senator
Husting. The same people do under
stand Senator La Follette's position
in the U. S. Senate against our gov
eminent in this war From their pres
ent positions we prefer La Toilette to
Gov. Philips, because we know the
senator's position, he makes it perfect
~ clear. Gov. Philips has taken
stand that makes the people suspi-
cious of him, because they cannot un-
derstand, why he opposes the submit
ting of the election of U. S. Senator
to succeed Husting to the people One
man is in the light while the other is
in darkness. Of the two men, we be-
heve that La Foleltte is to be pre-
ferred.
Is there no power in the constitution
of the state of Wisconsin to either ex-
pei the Governor from his office if he
will not comply with the peoples
rights or can he sit in the governors
chair ''like bump on a log" and dis
regard the wish of the people of the
state? There should be some power
n he hands Of the people by which
their servants could be made to comply
with their wishes. We are absolute
y Disguised with the political actions
T Gov. Philips on this question.
Lle readers of the Reporter under
-at we have no time for La Fol-
,ecJe's position in his attitude against
re government, and we cannot defend
n n his present position, but we do
t1now where he stands. Gov. Philips
taken position that leaves us
wholly in the dark, when he will re-
fuse to grant the request on the part
of the people of the state to allow
them to elect a successor to the late
Senator Husting, at special election,
which must be called by the governor.
Such attitude on the part of the gov
ernor, in our judgment, is worse to-
wards the state, the people, and the
government, than the stand taken by

Good Roads Boost Rural Schools.

In states credited with good coun-
try roads, the rural school attendance
is so per cent OF the total enrolment.
In other states where the roads are
VIGOROUSLY bad the attendance is Ga
per cent Of the total enrolment.
This is the statement made by the
good roads bureau of the Associa-
ton of Commerce after an analysis of
figures compiled on this subject.
In the first example 80 per cent of
the highways are improved and in the
second case only y per cent of the
roads are improved. Good roads have
been Il large factor in increasing the
number Of consolidated rural schools
in the middle West 1t is a significant
fact that it is not the improved high
way that is the heaviest tax on the
farmer, but that it is the almost i'm
passable and bad roads.
Farmers are no more restricted to
move about at a three-mile-an-hour
rate, as is shown by the fact that over
10 per cent of all autos are now sold
to farmers. Seventy-five per cent of
the farmers of, the United States own
motOr-driyen vehicles. Iowa, an agri-
cultural state, has a car for every nine
inhabitants; Nebraska follows with
one for every ten, California one for
every L, and Kansas and South Da-
kOta one for every Is.
The new state trunk highway law,
which was passed by the last session
of the Wisconsin legislature, will,
after having been in operation a
sufficient length of time, place Wis
consin close to the top Of the list, both
as to the number of miles of good
roads in the state and the number Of
cars in proportion to the population.

MaCison.-February 70 has been an
nounced by Governor Philip us the
date for the opening of the special
session of the Wisconsin state legiS-
lature. The call will include very few
subjects. However, Governor Philipp
has received a sufficient number of
suggestions for legislation to occupy

months. He will include only those
subjects which he believes necessary

The governor is compelled to call
a special election in the Marathon
county district represented by Assem-
blyman D. S. Burnett, and in the Win
nebago county assembly district which
j was represented by Assemblyman

The whole legislative program will
be represented in bills prepared in the
executive office so that the legislature
should be able to complete its work
within a week.
Advocates of & special election to
I'LL the vacancy in the United States
senate have said that the governor was
acting in violation of the federal Con-

with the provision in the federal

Dismiss Charge Against Nelson's.

CiSmiSS charge Against Nelson's.
Judge Carpenter of the United
States circuit court. Chicago. sitting in
place of Judge Sanborn in the district
court at Madison, dismissed the indict-
ment which charged Congressman
John N. Nelson and his son. Byron c.
Nelson, with conspiracy to violate the
selective draft law.
The motion to Quash was made by
Attorneys c. II. Crownheart and
Ralph NJ hickman. representing the
Nelson's, on a suggestion from the
Judge that the case involved only legal
questions. The court held that the act
OF Byron Nelson in going to Canada
16 days before the draft law was
passed was something he had q right
to do and that his remaining in Canada
following the enactment of the statute,
without registering, was not in viola
ton of the law.
District Attorney 4. c. Wolfe said
he intended to appeal from the deci-
sion to the United States Supreme
court.

The catch of Alaska salmon for 1917

raluable as that of 1916. Mounting, as
It does, to the sum of forty million
dollars, this element of wealth alone

Smallpox is now prevalent in many
Wisconsin communities, several being
threatened with epidemics. All cases
are of mild form, however, and are
being stamped out.
Merrill has reported IS cases thus
far this month, to the state registrar.
Owing to prevalence Of chickenpox,
many smallpox cases were diagnosed
as the former malady, and the disease
spread rapidly. When eruptfons of
these types appear in adults, it may
be assumed, with. practical certainty,
to be smallpox.
