LODGE AND LA TOILETTE

Here is what an eastern paper,
the Springfield Republican, says
about Senators Lodge and La Fol-
lette Since the article was written
Lodge has swept Massachusetts and
La Toilette brought down the votes
in Wisconsin; The Bay State paper
says:
/ Senator La Follette's recent attack
on the United States supreme court
and his championship of a constitu-
/ tjonal amendment permitting Con
gress to nullify a supreme court de-
cision by mere majority vote would
have defeated him for denomination
by the Republican party in many
states of the Union. But Wisconsin
takes Battle Bob" to its bosom
once more by a large majority. 1t
makes not the least difference what
Senator La Toilette thinks, says or
does; he will probably be returned
to the senate so long as he lives.
The contrast between Senator La
/ Toilette and Senator lodge, both
Republicans, is one of the most con-
fusing aspects of our present-day
politics. If both can be Republicans
in good standing, anyone can be a
Republican. The situation is such
that a citizen can fill his intellectual
| satchel with the craziest assortment
of ideas about government and poll
tics and walk straight into either the
Republican or the Democratic party
and be welcomed as a brother. Mr.
/ Beveridge, who has received the Re.
publican senatorial nomination in In
diana, recently denounced Mr.. La
FOllette's supreme court proposals as
no better than those of an enemy
of the republic, yet Beveridge and La
Toilette live in neighboring states
and are leaders of the Republican
party. La Toilette even has "the
edge" on Beverage inasmuch as the
Wisconsin senator is now sure of
election in November while the Hoos-
Ter statesman is not.
La Follette's latest triumph in his
home state indicates that in effect
he has put both the Republican and
Democratic parties out of business in
Wisconsin. He is so far in actual op-
position to the Republican national
administration and leadership that
the Democratic party cannot flour
ish in the same state with him. There
is no use for it as a party of opposi-
ton, a it will be found in Novem-
Der that the Democratic candidate for
the Senate will make a very dismal
showing against him. On the Repub
lican side Senator Lenroot person
ally has thus far survived, yet the
Lenroot influence proved negligible
in this primary when thrown in ia
vor of La Follette's opponent. Since
La Toilette suits the Wisconsin So
cialists, his supremacy may be con-
sidered complete in spite of his war
record and his systematic political
errancy and sabotage.
If Senator Lodge should be reflect
ed, he and La Toilette would con-
tinue to sit almost cheek by jowl on
the Republican sile of the chamber
for six years more-the one the arch
! conservative. the other the arch rad
ical of the United States Senate.

In Providence. r. |. we were anxious
to visit the capitol which is noted for
its noble site and the beauty of the
building. Quite naturally we asked a

In many of the eastern cities and

were told by the owner that the
market for old mahogany is better
in the west than in the east. Asked
how and when he procured his stock
he said he frequently bought the en-
tire furnishings of a house at the
owners death. Often the younger
members Of family prefer modern
furniture TO the old. We counted n,
