LA TOILETTE RAPS
CRITICS OF HAMLET
Senator Enthralls Constitu.
ents With Literary Speech
OF Nineties.

MADISON, Wis. July Ex-senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette returned to
his home town Sunday and held
5000 home folks spellbound for two
hours as he made an eloquent de-
Tense of Hamlet" Prince of Dem
mark. The Senator, who is seeking
the Republican nomination for the
fourth time. didn't stop to defend
his war record or his attacks on
the big monopolies or politics at all.
Back in the 'so's. when La Toilette
was governor and held other State
offices, the speech was famous and
was a big campaign asset in its
way. Critics call 1t one of the
best masterpieces of literary criti-
cism ever produced in Wisconsin.
Today was the first time II had
been delivered in eighteen years,
and hundreds OF old-timers went to
hear it again.
For two hours the shirt-sleeved
citizenry was held by the Senator's
exposition of the strong qualities
Of the famed prince, who feigned
madness to revenge his fathers
death.
La Follette's political campaign
Will begin tomorrow night at MIL
waukee where he will outline the
national and State issues by which
he hopes to swing the Republicans
or Wisconsin to nominate him and
full State ticket over another
ticket which has proclaimed itself
against everything that savors OF
La Folletteism." The primary is

JAPANESE PROUD
OF TRAIN ROBBERY

American movie fashion.
The papers were filled with in
dignant outbursts from irate citi-
zens and with scathing editorials
denouncing the crime wave" and
those who failed to prevent it.
But underneath it all there was
something ofsa whimsical affecta-
tion OF pride in the affair. As one
OF the humorous weeklies of Tokyo
said: I'VE are In nowise behind

tenances of travel. Japan can have

That, however, is conceded to be
speculative since the bandit hasn't

CURBSTONE TRAFFIC COURT
CONVENE.S AFTER ACCIDENTS

venes.
The Curbstone Traffic Court Is a
growing institution. and at the
present time is believed to adjudi-
cate more cases than the court ad-
ministered by Judge Mcmahon.
The procedure Is something like
this:
The driver of the truck and the
owner of the pleasure car meet on
the curb and discuss the cause of
the accident in a heated debate,
which draws a flock of witnesses
The truck driver insists that he had
the right of way, and the owner
OF the pleasure car makes the same
claim.
Witness No. Is appealed to and,
after due deliberation, ventures the
opinion that the truck driver should
have slowed down at the crossing.
The truck driver protests in no un-
certain language and throws him
self upon the mercy of another wit
ness, who thinks the touring car
made a foolish dash to get across
the street before the truck could
strike him. The truck is harder to
stop" he points out.

police regulations.
A second survey of the vehicles is
made which strengthens the argu-
ment that the truck driver had
been careless in maintaining a
speed beyond absolute control. The
dent in the pleasure car showed
that more than half OF the machine
had passed the truck before 1t was
struck.
Negotiations are opened and the
owner of the pleasure car hazards
a guess as to the cost of repairs.
Ten dollars will cover it," he
thinks.
The truck driver is still inclined
to believe that the driver of the
touring car contributed in some
measure to the accident and argues
for IS settlement. A garage man
is called in who assumes judi
cial air while he examines the
wound in the side of the car. His
pensive look indicates that he is

tiles of getting the job. about s$10."
