Early, he cast his political lot with the progressive or radical wing of the Republican party, but party fealty to- ward the close of his career meant noihing to him and his}! Republican fellows after the November elections read him| out of the party. { La Follette fought his way to the top politically in his own state by attacking the corporations. He singled out the railroads especially at a time when it was popular | to attack them. Corporations were more prominently rep- resented in politics in those days. The pass was a useful instrument to further political fortunes and contributions to campaign funds were openly and publicly solicited. ‘The corporate influences of Wisconsin, however, did not always | fight La Follette. Stephenson and was not too distasteful to the Spooner fac tion, but coming back from Congress to enter the guberna- torial race, he made the railroads and corporations generally the issue. He was a fearless advocate of any cause he espoused, but was unable to work long with any political organization. He stood out always alone and more or less forlorn. His attacks were bitter but seldom personal in nature. On the personal side, “Bob” La Follette was a lovable character. ved to be just earned His home life was ideal and he numbered many of his most]! bitter political enemies among his personal friends. The world war and his refusal to vote for the entry of this nation into that conflict intensified the bitterness to- ward him nationally, but the folks back home continued to send him to the United States senate with increased ma- jorities. North Dakota and Wisconsin were always regarded | as the sure La Follette states until the November elections. | Returns showed there were thousands of admirers of the| “Little Giant” in North Dakota, but his sway over the farm- ers of this section lost its former power when he bolted the, party. | He was a ready debater, a deep student and an orator} of no mean ability. When investigating any problem, he; was tireless and probed for material on a most exhaustive! scale. His outlook and deductions, however, were tinged with a bitter prejudice toward corporations or combinations of | wealth. He fought them relentlessly until the end. His death leaves the insurgent bloc in the senate with-!> out a leader. La Follette was a great obstructionist, a mas- ter at filibuster. He used every weapon of practical politics to gain his end. The trend in the last few years has been against the radical policies of La Follette. Outside of prohibition, there were few extreme reforms so-called that La Follette did not| champion. He advocated recall of judges and judicial de-} cisions. His demand for senate investigation into various phases of business endeavor was perennial and insistent. Probably one of the greatest fights was to bring about a valuation of railroad properties as a basis of fixing rail- road rates. This work is still uncompleted and its value to the nation is of a most doubtful nature. Opinion will be divided bitterly upon the contribution of La Follette to American political life. He kept the parties supplied with issues. In Wisconsin, his friends declare he brought about many good reforms. Some good doubtless was accomplished through his vig- orous crusades. The extreme positions he took made his following over the nation small but so loyal that their ad- vocacy of the La Follette ideas became almost fanatical. In every state, La Follette had such supporters. He was a master propagandist and knew how to appeal effectively to class prejudice. No public man had more blind followers than La Follette. His Word was enough, his political philosophy was sacred to millions. The outstanding characteristics of the man were his fear- lessness, utter disregard of public opinion and tenacity with which he maintained his position. He was a unique political figure. Many of his “isms” were unworkable, but so pro- nounced was he in the voicing of his own opinions and the advocacy of his own principles that his closest friends feared to cross him. To oppose him was often to bring down the most bitter denunciations. He was a crusader of a most peculiar type. It will take time to evaluate his services to the nation, | | | | \ NORTHWEST WRITERS The literature of a region, it has been said, is one of its crops. The work of planting and harvesting seeps into the life of the inhabitants. Success and failure of crops ‘both have. their effect on the attitude of the region toward life. And once in a while an individual springs out of the region who has the facile talent of describing the joys and sorrows, hopes and fears of his people. Within recent years the Northwest has produced many writers of note. Mary S. Watts, Rupert Hughes, Willa Cather, Sinclair Lewis, Hamlin Garland have all at one time or another described life as it is found in the so-called wheat belt, where thousands depend on one crop for existence. There is a revival of interest in the small town, with its Main streets, Babbitts and Rotary clubs. ‘ But the spell of the field itself is still strong. Frank Norris has created an epic trilogy of the wheat. and Hamlin Garland, in his “Main-Traveled Roads,” has limned the corn farmers as no writer has ever done before or since.

Oh, dear, Ruth, you’d have wept if you could have seen Syd. They literally had to carry him up the steps. ‘The men, after gagging and truss- ing him up, had thrown him into this old barn. He says he had begun to think that he would be dead be- fore he was found. The ropes had cut into his wrists and ankles and his arms had been bound down to his body so tightly they were all black and blue. They had gagged him with a nasty, greasy cloth which had evi- dently been taken out of their tool box. Jack told me he fainted, Ruth, when they took these ropes off of him! You know how terrible it is when the blood courses back into tightly bound arms and legs. The men took him into Jack’s room, and one of Zoe’s nurses was delegated to bathe his poor bruised dy. Finally they got him into bed and fed him some beef broth, whisky and egg. This revived him some- what, and when I came in the room he smiled and held out his hand to me. { went over and d him. His mouth must have been greatly bruised for as my lips touched his, a He though he tried to suppress it. put his trembling hand out on my arm, but it was such an effort that even his lips paled arid his eyes closed. About 5 o'clock this afternoon, | Syd gained enough strength to be able to tell his story. Syd thought the scream that we all had heard was mine and imme- diately he jumped at the conclusion that I had gone into the children’s room and found something the mat- ter with the babies He told us that he had not , felt sleepy and was sitting beside his window smoking. He said he had no desire whatever to undress and go to bed. Zoe’s telephone conversation that we had overheard, bothered him, especially as that night of the party in Albany, it was Syd who took Zoe home. As they started Zoe FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1925 AMERICA INVOLVED IF WAR COMES By Chester H. Rowell Would it not be startling if, in the present troubles in China, which threaten to involve Russia and Japan, Amer- ican sympathy should be with Japan? H Yet that is just what happened early in the century, at a time when Japan had scarcely “arrived,” while Russia was still a full member of the family of nations, with a govern. ment whose evils were not contagious. _ Now with Japan powerful, and normal in government and institutions, while Russia is regarded as an internatioal out- \ law, at economic war with the world, there is only race prej- udice, and business rivalry to keep European and American sympathy from Japan. Whatever the temporary else do it, is ideal for China. the victim of Russia. WAR IN EAST WOULD CONCERN AMERICA The main fear, if the trouble grows, is the involvement of Amer- ica. : Direct war between Russia and Japan is unlikely. It is cheaper to back two Chinese tuchuns in an os- tensible civil war. g But even in that, America is nec- essarily concerned. We have no tradition of aloof- ness across the Pacific, as we once had across the Atlantic. Even.Wash- ington’s much-misquoted warning was against “entangling alliances” in Europe, not in Asia. : Since 1898 we have been an Asiatic power ourselves. If Japan and Russia fight, or in- stigate Chinese factions to fight, over China, we have either to stand aloof and let the winner dominate China, or else get in, as we always j have done, to see that nobody domi- nates China. The four-power pact does not bind Russia, and if Japan claims that this makes action by her necessary, we have either to prevent that Japan- ion,gthereby leaving the field , or else see that Japan does not go in alone. This does not mean “go in” by actual war necessarily. But if China, | with or without war, becomes any- body’s football, we are in that game.

All the Chinese people themselves ask of any govern- ment, native or foreign, is that it let them alone. ment just strong enough to do that, and to make everybody A govern- At any rate, China must be neither the tool of Japan nor Yet Borah would be the last to suggest a world-legislature, to enact those laws. His very demand for “codification” assumes that interna- tional law already exists. Otherwise the codifiers would be legislators. ‘And of course there is a vast body of international law which the court can adjudicate; some of it statutory, in treaties, and the rest at least as definite as the “common” law on which American and British juris- prudence rests. That common law has been codi- fied in New York and not in Illinois. Yet Illinois has courts, and New York had them long before it adopt- ed its code. And in Massachusetts the supreme court gives “advisory” opinions, without being in the least the crea- ture of the political departments of the state government. There is not a single fact, either in national analogies or in the rec- ord of the international court itself, to justify the senator's bugaboos. They are quibbles on words. ppt tlicetaeememeesanY | A THOUGHT | strife but sins.—Proverbs Hatred sirreth up love covereth all 10:12.

CALGARY: ASKS THE WORLD TO ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY Calgary, Alta. June 19. (P)—Prep- arations are proceeding apace for the Calgary jubilee stampede to be staged in July. The city will be given over to the populace and visitors during the period of celebration, for unrestrict- ed merriment. Once more the dusty chuck wagons will come tearing down. the streets distributing flap-jacks to the crowds; once more will Indians tread stolidly through the avenues of a modern city, where but half a century ago their forebears whooped and, hunted buffalo over what was then a bare prairie. Furthermore, the ‘Mounted Police will be here in full force and glory, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of their coming to Calgary. According to the stampede pro- moters, the outdoor west is going to be seen in its romantic glory. It is going to be wild, wooly, western and wholesome. It is going to be educa- tional, interesting, historical and in- vigorating. The pioneer past will be depicted in contrast to the progres- sive present. A mammoth parade will be staged, the pageant to include Indians, cow- boys and girls, mounted police, trap- pers, a cavalcade of western hor men,.and floats representing the velopment of the district. The stampede will not be conduct- ed as a show, but as a genuine com- petitive tournament, with valuable purses, trophies and official cham- pionship titles at stake, Last year’s stampede attracted a total gate of 167,279 compared with 97,732 in 1922, tome, siz! pt says, “T'd just like see you and.kiss Oa ally sees what ‘she likes 8° see oe i ose
