Partisanship-and the Struggle
It la not a very long- tlmo since the whole country was in the throes of a partisanship which, though it exista today, la rapidly giving way to a partisanship which considers citizenship higher than any party allegiance. When Robert La Follette, fresh from his fight in Wisconsin against the great private utilities which held away in that state came first to the senate of the United States he was laughed down. We have said "he waa laughed down" the term la inaccurate the older men thought be waa laughed down.
"Now there Is only one of me; soon there will be two; then there will be six and then there will be twelve." Thia waa the answer that La Fillette hurled at hia antagonists. As a mere personal struggle La Follette's career is among the most interesting in American history. But It is more than a personal struggle. Aa a young man La Follette fought out the battle of the public against the railroads and privately-owned public utilities in Wisconsin. Then the people got behind him and aent him to the senate. The preparation of Wisconsin's struggle had equipped him for the fight there. How did it come that La Follette was laughed at? Because La Follette took the ground that he would vote for no measure because it was a partisan measure, but only as it was a good measure for the people whom he represented.

HOW WEAK WOMEN May bo Made Strong at Small Expense and No Rlak. There are hundreds of women in this vicinity, weak, thin, run-down, tired out and nervous. Such women need Vinol just as did Mrs. Jane Pepper, of 2307 Howard street, San Francisco, Cal., who says: I have used Vinol for some time with particularly gratifying results. I was run-down, weak and debilitated, and my appetite was gone. After taking several bottles of Vinol I found my condition greatly improved, and
do not hesitate to recommend Vinol to anyone similarly affected." (We guarantee this testimonial to be genuine.) Vinol Is not a secret nostrum, but a delicious cod liver and Iron tonic without oil which will create an ap
petite, tone up the digestive organs, make pure blood and create strength.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un
derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Leo
H. Fihe, Richmond. Ind.
Such a declaration, backed up by actual performances left him isolated. From the first La Follette made a practice of asking for the roll call. Formerly things had for the most iart slid through as partisan measures and the roll call was only a weapon used to whip men in line with the threat of their loss of party standing if they did not follow the bell-wether of the Aldrlch domination of the United States senate. The Lorlmer case has helped to settle the thing in many minds of a more conservative nature. They have been unwilling to believe that the United Statea senate is a place where special privilege is entrenched. Even the spectacle of Aldrich voting for hia own rubber combination, Lodge protecting the sacred schedule K, Bailey, with hia friendliness with the Standard Oil interests, Depew and the New York Central, Guggenheim and his Alaska mining interests and bis partnership with Pierpont Morgan not even Dupont on the committee of military affairs with his powder company no not even the correspondence with Mr. Archbold which came to light with other senators, nor the systematic milking of the government by Western senators with their connection with land and timber thieves Not any of these things has so clinched in the public mind the difference between one set of senators called standpatters and the other sort called Insurgents as Lorlmer. When the senate of the United States voted on Lorlmer it did more to convince the people that the charges made against it were true than the long series of exposures made by the magazines and fearless newspapers. Without this introduction and this long education the people could never have had a general understanding of its meaning. They would have been aghast but they would have thought It mere personal turpitude and not a part of the great conspiracy now becoming visible to establish an oligarchy of special greed in the United States cloaked by the name of party.
EDWARD WESTON.
Edward Weston, a noted electrical
Inventor who was honored by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia last
December with the award of the "El
liott Cresaon" medaL waa born in
England. May 9, 1850. He received hia I
education In hia native country and
studied medicine with a view to adopting that profession. Later he aband
oned this Idea and in 1870 he came to
Ameiico and took up the profession of
chemistry. While thus engaged he Introduced valuable Improvementa In the
proceas of nickel-plating and later Invented several dynamo-electric ma
chines. In 1875 he established in New
ark. N. J, the first factory In America devoted exclusively to the manu
facture of electrical machinery. Some
years later this factory vat consolidat
ed with the United Statea Electric
Lighting company, of which Mr. West-
ou became chief electrician. In recent
years be has introduced many im
provements in electric lighting and
haa Invented numeroua electrical de-
vlces now in general use. ,
Dolliver and Beveridge are no longer among the list of insurgents in the senate. But the following still bear the brunt of the fight
What this present session of congress has yet to show is whether the
Democrats under Bailey's leadership will be able to manipulate the new . Democratic members as they did the old party machinery or not. In other words will there be Democratic Insurgents?
It is to be hoped that this will be the case. It will be plainer to the
people then than it is now that the progressive point of view has little to do with partisanship.
The manipulation of the senate and ' house of representatives by the
forces of private privilege had made the old idea of partisanship a farce. The belief was encouraged among the people that the parties were the
forces which fought and contended against each other in the senate and house. Aldrich and Bailey were pictured as enemies. Cannon was the arch-foe of the Democrats. The picture was encouraged on the stump-
in the South a Republican was fastened with the crime of carpet-bagger
-in the North the present day Democrat was inseparably linked with the
Knights of the Golden Circle. In the house and senate speeches still occur from which one would gain the idea that the Civil War Is not yet over. But the people are getting sick and tired of this sort of partisanship. Through the medium of the roll calls that La Follette and the other in
surgents have constantly demanded it has become more and more plain
that when some corporate interest is at stake that to all practical intents and purposes Bailey and the Aldrich senators lie down in the same bed.
They notice that other men of both parties oppose Aldrich and Bailey.
La Follette far from fearing the ostracism of Aldrich and his coterie seemed to positively rejoice in it. Nothing escaped him. His fund of information on railroad rates and on railroad properties was the first symp
tom of a new order of things in the senate. Aldrich and his fellows pro
duced and were forced to produce evidence that their measures were
Just for La Follette asked questions.
The new style of oratory was a contrast to the old order which spout
ed dreary nothings about "the great state which I have the honor to rep
resent," "The great country over which the stars and stripes wave proudly their challenge to the monarch-ridden countries across the seas."
When it came to debate on the fact these things would not cover up
a steal manifeatly for some private interest.

For the first time in years all but a few of the chairmanships of the important committees of the House of Representatives are now held by Southern Democrats. Eleven Scandinavians now hold seats in congress, two being senators. Ten of them are Republicans and all of them are allied with the "'progressive" wing of their party. United States senators Martin and
Swanson and Representatives Carter
Glass, and William Jones, who are after the senatorships in Virginia, will
have to pay about $3,000 each to ea

Under the Crumpacker reapportion

Mr. South borrowed a shotgun and captured the two men single handed on a lonely road outside the town. He took, them to Little Rock with him and delivered them over to the authorities. Later

Missouri, tried and convicted of the murders.

As new men came to the senate they too insisted on a square deal. And today they are twelve in number.
The policy of these men has been to keep the party name from use as a cloak for unprincipled men, from the use of special privilege. Lodge,
Aldrich, Republicans Bailey, Democrat, the leaders of their parties al
ways saw to it that special interest was protected under the name of
party but when the time came if a vote or two from either side were
needed either to kill or to put through a bill it was forthcoming.
The entrance of the insurgents into the field made the operation of the
machine harder. The all-wise 'Aldrich, who had gained a name for wis
dom from the constant use of exhaustive and seemingly accurate figures
i mo vuiy ui vuiiMiauuu wwjrri aaa loooyiBis was reaucea to a
laughing stock.
Dolliver had the chiefest part in the slaughter of the reputation of Al-
urtcn as an aumomy. it came to pass that when Dolliver got up to
speak Aldrich fled from the senate chamber under the Ire of Dolliver's
questions. From this partisanship we are escaping.
It has nothing to do with theories of government and statesmanship
unless honesty and the square deal can be called partisanship.
The time is fast coming when it is the record of votes in congress and
the legislature with whst they mean that is going to be the sole basis
for the ballot,
When that time comes it will be time to consider partisanship in the
old way again for then It will be restored.
But this congress ought to be followed closely with its roll calls to
get a line on the conflict in 1912.
The struggle is getting tense and it is only the intelligence of the in
telligence of the individual and the way he uses it which is going to help straighten out the present crisis in the history of the republic.
