With the progressive organization pos- sessing, beyond question, power to name a La Follette delegation to the national convention, with everything to risk and only loyalty to principle as reward, Hiram Johnson rings true with these words, among the) noblest, we think, since the immortal utterances of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg: “Still the obligation rests upon those who are do- ing politics in the fashion that we are, ALWAYS TO BE JUST, and, no matter — o~ we aw and regardless of possi ilities the future may have ohm for us, to FOLLOW ABSOLUTELY THE STRAIGHT PATH OF PRINCIPLE. “While they can send to the republican national —— a solid delegation for yr capt La Fi aria the progressive ublicans o: state are UGH TO BE JUST, and believing that it is but! just that every elector in the state in 1912 shall have! the opportunity to express his preference for presi-| dent, and that every woman, admitted now to the same rights politically as men, should have that right, too, the progressive republicans yield the advantage rom ( Dy Just Because It Is Right | J) Ita’y is brightening up percept thly this w Bhe knows that it will be bard on the turk, So she will give (hanks also.

Hiram Johnson, faised to leadership of an element that is carving out for the nation the glorious destiny that God intended for it and prepared for it in the agony of Valley Forge, in the carnage at Manassas, Gettys- burg, Vicksburg, the Wilderness, and in a hun- dred other human shambles—Hiram Johnson, chief of a great commonwealth, says: “I am of the people.

It is a cry rising from California's mighty moun- tains, ringing clear across the country, to rouse the man with the hoe, to cheer the woman with the needle, to lift the oppressed. Brave men, patriotic parties are at work, AND THE PEOPLE WILL F FINALLY GOVERN. The interstate commerce committee of the United States Senate has opened up shop, and invited everybody with an idea about what to do with the trusts to step up and day his say. There is sure to be a large response. A big collection of ideas will result Sut it may turn out like the late retary —.: experiment in trying to induce rainfall'in western s by means of explosives.

McGee estimates that in the year 2190 the United States will have a population of 1,007,000,000. That might scare some, but not us. Trot out your billion, we say And in case you should inadvertently mislay our name and address the next 279 years, we will tell you now that this big, beautiful country will support a billion in 2190 far more comfortably than it does ninety-odd million now.

The Star sent Herbert Quick, novelist, editor and magazine writer, to Wisconsin to find out, He is writing six articles, This first one tells about LA FOLLETTE, the MAN BY HERBERT QUICK, Editor of Farm and Fireside What sort of a man is LaFollette?
