AT COURTHOUSE
Mrs. R. M. La Toilette and Mrs.
j. ]. Blaine Address Baraboo
Audience

A meeting addressed by Mrs. r. NJ
La Toilette and Mrs. John j.. Blaine
Wednesday evening was attended by
an audience several times the capac-
ity the court house, and was there
fox held outdoors, the speakers oc-
cupying the platform at the front
door. They were introduced by Mrs.
e. Aug. Runge. Mrs. Blaine talked
about state politics, explaining that
the soldiers hospital soon TO be erect
ed at Madison, about which there has
been some criticism of the governor,
will be built without further expense
to the citizens, the fund for the pur-
pose being already in the state trea-
sury. She spoke of the great need of
an institution like the one proposed,
where not only the disabled soldier
boys, but also other people of small
means afflicted with serious troubles
can be restored to health and useful
ness. She mentioned the governors
pardons, of which his political oppon-

granted an unusual number, and con-
sidered each case carefully and acted
only from considerations of the public
welfare.
Mrs. La Toilette spoke mostly of
Senator La Follettes political exper-
fence. Having been associated with
him in his work throughout his pub
lie career, she gave a very clear pic
ture, touching upon a few of the
| important measures on which he ex-
erted his powerful influence as gov
eTnor Of Wisconsin, as congressman
and as a member of the u. S. senate.
She mentioned the primary law, pass
ed during his administration, which,
| she said was not a perfect law, but
which has done a great deal in favor
of democratic control of the govern.
ment, and urged everyone, no matter
what his political views, to come out
and vote at the primary election in
September. The large audience stood
quietly and listened with rapt atten.

CHANGING OUR POSTAGE
STAMPS

According to announcement from
Washington, radical changes are CON
templated in the designs and coloring
of our postage stamps. The stamps
OF smaller denomination, up to sew
en- cents, now bear the portrait OF
George Washington, while the face
of Franklin adorns the rest.
The Washington and Franklin por-
traits are to remain on some of the
the stamps, we are told, but portraits
of other figures in American history
are to be substituted on the others.
The justification given for the change
IS that a greater variety of designs
and cOloring would enable postal en-
ployes more readily to detect short
paid matter We are not inclined to
accept the justification as sufficient.
The postal eye that cannot disting-
uish our stamps from one another as
they are, is seriously defective. An
occasional test in quick distinction,
with the assignment to a different
kind of work of such clerks as cannot
pass 1t satisfactorily, would do more
20 secure accuracy than will be ac-
complished by changing designs and
colors II is likely, however, that
most OF the failures to detect short
postage are from sheer careless, not
from a visual confusion of one stamp
with another. The habit of change
in such matters is too common. and
no alteration should be made without
strong Columbus Dispatch.
