Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who fined the Standard Oil company $29,000,000 has just imposed a pen- alty of one cent on a federal pris- oner at LaCrosse. That is going from the sublime to the ridiculous all right all right. Hunters who tramp through the woods all day without seeing but a bunch of blackbirds and a couple of woodpeckers will agree with the Cass Lake Times that it is “funny how much better flavored partridges are in September than October.” The State Board of Control is still busy figuring out how it can best inform the gentle public that the investigation of the State Board of Control by the State Board of Con- trol with Whittier as an excuse was, been suspected, as has farce. merely a Far be it from us to detract from the valor and heroism of a telegraph operator but the young man who perched at the top of a pole and sent messages of the Bayfield flood, “with the water swirling beneath,” appears to have been in a much safer place than if he had been on the ground. THE NEWSPAPERS AND WILEY. Says the Chicago Evening Post: “It may be pointed out that the ef- fort to dislodge Wiley failed primar- ily because of the quick and intelli- gent action of the newspapers of the United States. The monthly maga- zines like to spread the idea that the only true protection of the popular interests is found in their columns; that they have ‘taken over this im- portant function of daily journal- ism,” and so on. But, as a matter of fact, it was daily journalism which saw through the Wickersham finding to the malevolent forces behind it and checked the whole infamous plot against the people’s food. Perhaps the newspapers still have a place in our national life after all.” SAGENG MAY OPPOSE STEENERSON. “The Kitchen Cabinet,” with Frank Day, Harvey Grimmer; Na- tional Committeeman Fred B. Lynch and his brother, Edward Lynch, sit- ting in, held a number of conferences last week and the story is that they decided a number of knotty prob- lemg covering the 1912 campaign. <& Ole Sangeng of the Ninth district, it | congressman-at-large or another try at his old enemy, Congressman Hal- vor~Steenerson; The selection™ is up to Ole.’ A gubernatorial candidate was discussed,. but no ' conclusion reached.

SOMETHING NEW_IN POLITICS. “It is admitted,” says the Chicago Record-Herald, - “that ~ Governor Woodrow = Wilson = ‘dominated’ ~the state convention of his party. = Yet the convention failed to indorse him for the Demiocratic presidential nom- ination, and it failed because he per- sonally argued and protested against such an indorsement. He pointed out that the Geran election act—which, by the way, he prepared and caused the reluctant legislature to pass as a leading administration - measure— limited the functions of the stite convention and by implication vested indications of a choice for the presi- dency in the voters themselves. He objected to a violation of the spirit of the most important reform act of the last séssion. “This_is remarkable unprecedented in politics. and almost A favorite son preventing the acceleration and stimulation of his own ‘boom’ by-the state convention is a mnew spectacle in politics. Yet the New Jersey ex- ecutive has not weakened himself by his action. Consistency, sincerity, direct appeal to the people in nomi- nations and elections pay in the long run—and sometimes even in short runs. Governor Wilson wants noth- ing hollow, factitious, artificial in his ‘boom.” Other ‘possibilities’ would do well to emulate him. WOMEN CONFIDENT OF VICTORY, On-the eve of tomorrow's general election, following the close of one of the most memorable campaigns in the history of the state, the women of California are confident of the victory of their caus: at the polls tomorrow. For many months they have kept up the agitation in favor of women’s suffrage, and with remarkable ener- gy and ability they have conducted their state-wide campaign against big odds and despite the powerful influences which the opposition brought to bear upon the campaign. Argumentative literat.re in favor of woman’s suffrage was scattered broadeast over the whole state of California; suffrage orotors traveled from one end of the state to the oth- er, addressing meetings in the inter- est of the women's cause; the church- es, women’s societies and even the school childien were, enlisted in be- half of the momentous suffrage ques- tion and nothing was neglected that seemed to offer even the remotest promise of furthering the cause of suffrage. Now, the exciting work of the campaign is ended and both sides to the great suffrage question are rest- ing on their guns, eagerly awaiting the decisive battle at the polls to- morrow, which will settle, whether the women of California shall be the political equals of the men or not. The advocates of woman’s suffrage, although admitting that they shall have to contend against a strong op- position cxpress themselves confi- They believe that the strenuous work of their cam- paign was by no means wasted but that it caused the conversion of thou- sands of voters heretofore prejudiced against woman’s suffrage. dent of victory. The woman’s suffrage amendment to the Constitution, it is true, is by far the most important of the twen- ty or more constitutional amend- ments to be voted on at tomorrow’s election, but there are several among them which claim considerable at- tention on the part of the voters. Although the other amendments have received less consideration during the past campaign,‘some of them are really far more important than the woman suffrage amendment. Among them is an amendment which provides for the initiative and the referendum in State legislafion. Oth- er amendments provide for the re- call ‘of the elective officers of the state;' for county charters and coun- ty home-rule; for eliminating tech- nical errors as a ground for reversal in criminal cases; for direct legisla- tion; enlargement of the powers of the railroad commission; the aboli- tion of justice courts; for the inclu- sion of judges of the dlstnct courts of .appeals among those 'state officers who may be impeached; providing for a “divided session of the legisla- ture; “municipal ow-;nership and for borough organization in chartered cities.

The New Cartoon. ° A local philosopher, ‘laughing over one_of Ralph Wilder's cartoons in The Chicago Record-Herald the other day, remarked that the cartoon is mightier than the sermon. Certain- 1y the humorous picture. that has come: to be so popular a feature of the Big city newspaper often hits off the news of the hour with a veritable stroke of genius. The whole art of the cartoonist thas become more kindly, less slash- ing, than in the days when Thomas Nast began it. The cartoonist no longer hits somebody over the head for your amusement, but tickles you under your own ribs somewhere near the heart. - He does it by illustrating the little humors of human nature, of domestic life, of boy nature, of feminine foibles—any sort of home- 1y or timely joke that both husband and wife can laugh over at the break- fast table. One of the gentlest, cleverest and happiest cartoonists of this new school is Ralph Wilder, whose daily picture on the front page of The Chicago Record-Herald is an unfail- ing delight. Mr. Wilder’s drawing is unsurpassed, and his humor, if not side-splitting, always has a “point” with a smile in it. His pic- tures help to brighten life and send one to one’s own task more cheerily. They-help to explain why The Rec- ord-Herald is the favorite family newspaper in the West. WHY T SUCGEEDS Because it’s for One Thing Only; and Bemi;iji People Appreciate this.
