TLE STAR 0 and Indes daily by The tar Pw pos (office as second . . 80 COOte per Month UD Le sx mon ondent 4 ian i Hix montha be Story of a Real Indian Perhaps you read about the capture, two months ago, at Oroville, Cal. of IShi, last of the Deer Creek Indians. Ishi was *the, real thing in Indians. He never had heard of civilization and it was supposed that his breed was extinct long ago. Ishi was happily hunting jack rabbits, sleeping out of doors, praising God after the dictates of his own conscience, and otherwise living close to nature, when civilization reached out and captured him. Just why civilization captured him is fot clear, as Ishi was not a bad Indian, although a live one, and was not even laying claim to any real estate that somebody wanted. But they pronounced him “the only uncontaminated man in the world,” according to the Press Association dis- patches, and maybe that's why they captured him. Now, you would think that a rare creature like an uncon taminated man would be put in a cage and well fed and cared for. You might even expect that he would be exhibited throughout the country, for a real uncontaminated man would! draw like blazes, especially with the women folks, many of whom would take oath that no such sort of man exists, or ever existed. But they didn't make such use of Ishi, They turned Ishi over to the Affiliated Colleges of the University of California as a subject for experiments. These higher educational institutes are always on the qui vive for fare specimens, Some of them give a life-time of study to the dodo, some of them go in for creating life in sea urchins’ eggs, and some struggle for producing cobless corn, henless eggs, holeless doughnuts and things like that. But when an uncon taminated man was discovered, you can bet that the Affiliated Colleges dropped all else and bagged Ishi instanter. Affiliated Colleges have been seeking the relative value of carbonates and nitrates as flesh builders. Ishi has gained fifty- @ne pounds in weight and has to wear an clastic band to his Overalls. He has already learned to smoke cigarettes and has &@ cussing vocabulary of four of our most descriptive English oaths. With a little further relation with affairs of civiliza tion, they expect to get him to like rum and plug tobacco, and later on he will forget all about the glory of the sun rising over great mountains, thé western skies gilded by the sunset, the painted plains stretching out to the ends of the earth, the rushing rivers, the waving tree tops, the freedom of the whole heautiful outdoor world, and devote his attention to the corner saloons, where the ghosts of his dead nation walk. No New Legislation Needed Here's a word from one of the modest little violets of Wall et., Mr. Henry Clews: “Tt is unfortunate that the agitation (against the trusts) should be thus prolonged, for, as President Taft has pointed out, the supreme court has not only interpreted the Sherman law on lines of sound economics, but has also emphatically read into the law the word ‘reasonable,’ so that no important mew legislation is really necessary.” Certainly not, Henry. With that supreme court working, fo new legislation of any sort is really necessary. All that's Mecessary is to take the old legislation and enyphatically read into it things the trnsts want. Selah! Don’t “Jolly” Women Voters How shall a candidate talk to the women voters? The Los Angeles campaign answers the question. One speaker began by referring to “the youth, beauty and charm of the audience.” “Silence. broken only by whispers of criticism,” says the account Then came a speaker who said: “I shall waste no time in compliments.” “Profound, prolonged applause,” says the chronicler The women don’t want to be jollied—not in stump speeches, anyhow.

Wisconsin was bossed, Judge Keyes of Madison, work- ing with the lumber kings Sawyer and Stephenson and the railways and public utilities had the people by the throat, just as the bosses may have your throat, dear reader Robert M.

McKinley had offered him controllership of the cur- , you see, he was known to be safe, sane and able enough to take control of all the national banks of the Unit- ed States—and McKinley did not make such appointments without taking the advice of the wisest in the party. La Follette had his feet on the lad- der of political preferment and wealth. But he found the railways in power over the caucuses an& conventions of Wis:onsin. They packed the caucuses. They ran the conventions. If a man dared to stand against the boss they wrung his neck and threw him over the back fence.

WORLD MODE this mastery is his willin * to recetve help from those who know and pis ability to assimilate facts, La Follette’s whole political om reer has been one long search for facts to iuminate bis philosophy of people's power. His championship of the dir tatewide primary hag been the longest fight of bis career, In 1898 he was defeated tn his cam paign for governor-—but he wrote the platform ealling for direct prk maries, Two years later ho wag elected on his own platform, bug the stalwarts, the anthLa Folletts crowd, bought the legislature away from him. He refused to compro mise. By this time the earnestness honesty and eloquent logic of La Follette bad made some sort of prb mary inevitable. So they directed their efforts to the passage of some law which would be called a direct primary, but which would leave open avenues for the corrupt use of money and power La Follette stood firmly tor the wide-open primary, limitation of the use of money, probibition of all other corrupt practices, and « sym tem by which the nominee would always receive a majority of the votes, Finally a primary law was passed with a referendum, under which was not to be valid until ratified by popular vote, This gave the stak warts @ chance to hold one more state convention under the old sys tem. They lald their plans to ture the convention by fraud ang force, and once in power, to unde all the La Follette people had ag complished in a decade of fighting La Follette met them on thelr own ground and beat them. Bob's delegates refused to be rushed, They controlled the convention amid the wildest disorder, and the stalwarts bolted. The law was rat- ifled at the polis. The fierceness of the Wisconsts fight bas been caused by two thi —the power of the bosses and uncompromising tactics of the La Follette people.
