Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin
announced in the Senate yesterday
that he would fight inch by inch to
the dead line" the legislation proposed
by the Administration for funding the
railroad debt by the War Finance
Corporation. He declared that the
railroads were grossly overcapitalized
and that he would show it in the Sem

posed to have 1t demonstrated wheth-
er the administration and> a majority
of Congress were working for public
or for special interests.
Senator La Toilette was addressing
himself to his resolution calling fE
an investigation Of the governments

British dominate the American mer-
chant marine, and he charged. too,
that powerful railroad magnates, put
ting profits above patriotism. had
formed q combination with British
shipping interests to transport all the
foreign shipments they control in
British ships.

KISSES OF WIDOWS
AND OLD MAIDS.

Comments of contribs are arriv-
ing on the question brought up as to
the kisses of widows and old maids
the allegation being mace that
widows are apprecistive while the old
maid Is stingy and naughty. JUDGE
RUMMY" AYERS that old maids are
simply discriminating. Read Rum
my further along:
Boys, don't ever marry a widow
with too much experience. L did
and am now batting .123 in the
excuse league. The old girl knows
more about business than Old Man
Efficiency: more about lodge. meet
ings than Mr.. Mason and more
about sick friends than DR.. Mum

a night out of the house would be
to burn II down.
Reflections of l. c.: Hit pears to
me dat you is taIkin' bout grape
juice and champagne in de same
bref" (He rates the widows kisses
in the champagne class.)
w. L. c. contributes a poem that
expresses the view that the oil maid
is very appreciative of kissing and
will stay around long time wher ;
they are to be had.
+. ]. SCHWAB thinks IL merely a
matter of experience. The widow, he
says, ''has learned from experience
the divine blissfulness that kissing
gives" while the old maid does not
yearn for the thrills she has never
experienced.

North Dakota--that is to say,
the people who are opposed to
the policies of the .Non-Partisan
League to which most of the officials
now in power yield loyalty-are
about to seek the unseating of the
governor and certain other State Of
icials through the orderly and legal
process Of the recall.
There is perhaps promise of ma
tional good fortune in this campaign.
Not that The Times has any reason
to believe that the Non-Partisan
League officials have done anything
to justify ousting them. Perhaps
they have. Perhaps not. Upon the
merits of the case we have no
definite information that would
justify the expression of an opinion.
But it is interesting and instruc-
tive to observe that the forces which
are accustomed to call themselves
( conservative" are very ready to
take advantage of the recall to get
rid of elected officials who have be-
come obnoxious to them.
In broad, general way it may be
said that the fight upon the Non
Partisan League in the Northwest
has been pressed by those financial
agencies which disapprove of the ef-
forts of the farmers to free them
selves from the monopolies forced
upon them by associated business in
terests. Preyed upon by the rail
roads and the great grain buying
corporations backed by the railroads
and controlling the warehouses, the
farmers sought to establish their own
system of selling with their own
chain of warehouses. The banking
interests of the State employed every
device to defeat their plans.
The farmers, securing political
power in the State, then organized
their own State bank. This move
concentrated against them not only
the antagonism of all the banks of
their own State but the power of
banking institutions throughout the
