then; steamers will soon be carrying!
traffic on the upper-river. This will

because of the exceptionally low

SENATOR LA FOLLETTE.
THE Indianapolis Star charactefr
izes Senator La Follette as
"mercenery" because 'he has
made profitable 'engagements to lec
ture before Chautauqua assemblies.
It is not quite clear why he should be
censured more thsn Tillman, or Bev
eridge, or even Bryan,' or any other
public tuaa 'who sddreisei 'Chsutstt-!
ft',,':--yj
qua assemblies on live economic and
political subjects. The Star explains,
however, that La Follette "has been
a member of the senate but a short
time and modesty might have sug
gested to him ' the propriety of re
maining quietly in the background for
a season until he became acquainted
with his colleagues and the methods
and traditions." " ' '
This has very little weight, .or force
La Follette served several .terms as
representative in congress and three
termaae ' governor of Wisconsin,
though opposed all the time by the
lmacnine,t- and he - is particularly
qualified to speak, and to speak right
Iy; on the subject of hie addresses.
There was no reason for his "keep
ing in the background"; he would not
have done his duty if . he had; the
country -needs just such men at the
front In connection with Chautau
qua assemblies people are willing and
glad to pay to hear him speak, and
he has as muchright to make such
engagements as any other man. '-rr
THE MOTHER TO BLAME.
I
T IS NOT LIKELY that Harry
Thaw had it in him to become a
worthy, ' admirable man, under
any circumstances, but poverty might
have helped to make him so, while
unlimited money to spend assured his
ruin. - Whether she can see it in this
ight or not, impartial observers, will
lay much of the blame for his de
praved career upon his mother, who
is now bending all her energies to
save his little-worth life. His father,
who perceived the character . of his
son, cut him off with a comparative
pittance, hoping probably that this
would force him to work somehow;
but his fond and foolish mother raised
this allowance to $30,000 a year, en
abling him to live in idleness and to
gratify his desire for folly and vice.
To give a youth of his disposition
and character all the money he wants,!
and encourage him to despise work of
11 kinds and to live a life of frivolity
nd dissipation, is to ensure his ruin.
A very rich mother with such a son
as a hard task, either way, and Mrs.
Thaw appears not to. be a woman of
much wisdom, ' so she should be
pared harsh censures but her folly
may serve as a -warning to other rich
and doting mothers of scapegrace,
idling sons. V '
