Washington, Juno 12. The things
best known about Robert H. La Fol
lette are: That he Is a reformer who
has figured In Wisconsin for a num
ber of years; that he has been gov
ernor of that state and Is now a
member of the U. S. senate; that he
lives on nuts and vegetables Instead
of meat and potatoes; that he does
the Chautauqua circuit profitably dur
ing the summer time; that the rail
roads hate him that members of the
United States senate are not fond of
him that he makes a good speech;
that he Is opposed to the vested In
terests und that all railroad men
think he wears hoofs and horns.
He has been In polltcal life for 2
years, during which time he served
three consecutive terms In the lower
branch of congress, and throe times
as governor. Ho was defeated for
reelection to the house In 1890, and
that year marked the beginning of
his remarkable struggle against the
domination of railroad and other cor
porations in the politics of Wiscon
sin. At the end of 10 years' effort he
became governor of the state. The
experiences of those 10 years were
vailed. Thev Included house .to
house campaigning, many defeats,
patronage bribes and even offers of
money by corporations Interested In
eettine him out of their way. In one
Instance, It is alleged, the nomina
tion for governor was stolen from him
by the purchase of delegates. But
at length his strength with the people
became so overwhelming that he was
nominated and elected.
Surwtwful Reformer.
During his service as governor, La
Follette was so successful In his prop
aganda of refrnm that an honest ma
jority was secured In the legislature
and laws were enacted compelling the
valuation of railroads and other
iuaxl-public corporate property and
revising the taxes of these corpora
tions so that they have been compell
ed to pay more nearly their Just pro
portion. A primary electon law for
senatorial and other nomlnatons was
passed. A good law was secured cov
ering the grant of street railway
franchises to municipal corporations
In the state and permitting a vote by
the people on all such Important
privileges.
Havng cleaned house In his own
state. La Follette decided to enter a
broader field, and In 1905 he was
elerted to the United States senate to
succeed Joseph B. Quarles, and took
his seat January 4. 1906.
That Ln Follette would be Ineffec
tual as a member of the United
States senate was the prediction made
freely by his numerous enemies. The
powerful Interests which he had an
tagonized In his own state feared and
resented his presence In the United
States senate.
He has disappointed his enemies.
no less than he has pleased his
friends. Those who believed that he
would be content to make a noise and
let It go at that have found that they
were mistaken. Others who thought
that he would render himself usclesr
by 111-iylvlsed personal attacks or un
dignified conduct have found they
were equally In error. On the other
hand, the smooth, diplomatic gen
tlemen who run the senate have found
It Imposihle to move La Follette from
his regular course of action by soft
speech, promises' or hopes of any kind
of reward. Neither officer, nor ten.
dercd appointments on Important
commutes, nor pleasant social rela
tions have been cfectual In swerving
La Follette from the course he has
mapped out.
An Important Minority.
Senator La Follette has constituted
himself a very Important minority oi
one. In this capacity he objects to
bad legislation and uses his objections
to secure what Is possible of good
legislation, and the fact that the sen
ate does business practically by unan
Imous consent, has made La Follettc's
legislative Independence a potent fac
tor in the law making power.
The best speech on the administra
tion's railroad rate law was that do
livered by Senator La Follette. He
Is responsible for more amendments
to that law as it now stands on the
books than any single member of
the senate. His long fight with the
railroads in Wisconsin had given
him a wonderful preparation to deal
with this subject Intelligently and
forcefully. President Roosevelt ac
knowledged the assistance rendered
by La Follette In his fight, and sev
eral of the latter's amendments were
adopted by the administration before
they were presented ln the senate,
Senator La Follette was a pioneer
In the work of saving the public util
ities. In the fifty-ninth congress he
exposed an effort by the Standard
Oil company to acquire the oil and
mineral lands ln the then territory
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
He prepared, but was unable to se
cure the passage of an excellent law
to protect the rights of the govern
ment, and thus of the people, in coal
and mineral lands which still are
part of the public domain. He aided
the passage of the meat Inspection
law, the pure food law, the employ
ers' liability law, and practically all
the good legislation enacted In the
fifty-ninth congress.
In the sixtieth congress La Follette
single handed defeated the original
Aldrlch currency bill. He held that
the bill was Intended primarily to
create a market for railroad securi
ties which had been corralled by
Rockefeller, Morgan,' Ryan and a
few other New York capitalists, and
at Senator La Toilette's demand thv
socalled "railway bond feature" of
the Aldrlch bill was stricken out.
A record of this character had its
natural effect In drawing upon the
head of La Follette the bitter enmity
of nine-tenths of the members of the
senate. He found himself the object
of a conspiracy fostered by the "Old
Guard," the object of which was to
"segrtgate" him. The leaders of the
senate apparently agreed to speak to
him once during the day, but other
wise to Ignore his presence as a mem
ber of that body. This has, however,
made no difference to the Wisconsin
senator, who has gone on with his
self-appointed task of being a thorn
in the side of those who he believes
represent the vested Interests.

down the river to a point about four
miles.

knew of such movement. Hut no oue,

The vexed question of the real au

never been positively settled. Mr. Chn
bot's learned work to show that Sir
Philip Francis was the author of the
famous letters, while a strong produc

tempt was made to prove tbnt Thomas
Palno wrote the letters, but that, too,
failed to convince. The question Is
still u mystery, though the balance of
the evidence is lb favor of Sir Philip
Francis.
