The Wisconsin Election
Election of "Young Hob" LaFollette by an overwhelming
majority in Wisconsin only means that Wisconsin is still in
the insurgent column. The combination of the foreign-born,
of socialists, of non-partisan leaguers, of laborites, of uplifters
and progressives maintains its solidarity and its loyalty to
the name and traditions of LaFollette. It means that the old
political machine built up and held intact for quarter of a
century under the leadership of the elder LaFollette, is still
lunctioning and likely to continue to in the Badger slate.
The Wisconsin election does not mean the ebb-tide of
reaction and stand-pattism in the nation, or even in the
northwest. Its effect is only local. As Wisconsin was the only
state to vote for the third party candidates last fall, it is still
the only stale to remain in the third party column.
The turn in the tide of reaction will come in the nation at
largo from either hard times or too much prosperity. Both
generate a popular discontent that politicians capitalize for a
change in government with the promise of a millennium in
exchange for spoils of office. The country is neither very
prosperous, nor very depressed, and no immediate change is
therefore likely as long as conditions hold their own or
improve.
The full dinner bucket continues the only vital issue with
the people, for the electorate, like an army, travels on Us
belly, and its expectation of material prosperity.
Growing Rapidly
I'or the first time the average daily paid and audited
circulation of the Capital Journal exceeded 7,000 for the
month of September. For the same period its average daily
distribution, or gross circulation which includes exchanges.
service copies und advertisers, approximated 7,500 daily.
' At ho period in its history is the Capital Journal growing
more rapidly than at present which reflects not only the
growth of the community, bulthe popularity of the paper,
The steady progress of the Capital Journal can be judged by
the following daily averages for the month of September for
live years, for paid circulation: 1021, 4,500; 1922, 5.83G;
1923, 6,139; 1924, 6,200; 1925, 7,077. The gain in the past
year has been over 800 subscribers, or 12.8 percent.
As the Capital Journal grows, it will be improved in
quality and quantity, its news service extended and bettered.
Its plant in the past five years has been reconstructed and is
the most complete and modern in the state. Its mechanical
capacity is ample to turn out 20,000 sixteen page paptis daily
and it hopes in the not too distant future to reach this goal.
11; is the hope of the Capital Journal to incii-nse its sub
scription list to 10,000 in the coining year. To this end, we ask
the continued cooperation and assistance of our patrons.
The Husband Tamer

Difficult Mnnlnffo or l-.nsy Divorce
It was late the next nnmilns

Pat smiled nt her sister Inter

nioio than she pretended to about
the letter In question.
Should she write lo liln lawyer?
Should she seek a divorce from
Andrew? Surely she couldn't go

lint sueh nnfinir saved her from
ariililllfng to herself the f.ut that
she dreaded In fare, that she was

Whieh she encolved In It. Then,

words, covered psge ifter page.
She had no idea that she would

She knew enough to value the great

made chief Inspector of panoramic

Mr. .Tensen Is married nnd de

"Don't presa me to do anything

Sho couldn't go on (or what she
wujj thinking of was "But what
about Andrew?" And tfhe realized
that In this new life she was con

could not, figure.
"Take your own time to think It
over," Hewitt told her; but with
out enthusiasm, "but don't let It be
too long. I know tho first moment
that I ever saw you that I would
move mountains to make you
mine."
It didn't make iilni any happier
when tho boy who brought the
mall deposited a letter with a for
eign postmark on tho table before
Patricia. Obviously she was hear
ing from her husband.
But as a matter of fact tho let
ter didn't make Patricia much hap
pier either, for her husband still
refused to understand why she had
left him.
When you decide to come back
to New York," he wrote, "you
might inquire about houses down
near Baysldc. You have always
wanted to be out In the suburbs,
and there wo would have easy
access to the big clubs and road

place, to entertain people. I have

Drama of 10,000,000
Years ago Feature of
Children's Matinee
A drama of 10,000,000 years
ago is to be enacted for the chil
dren of 12 years or under who at
tend The Capital Journal matinee
at the Oregon theater at 10:30
o'clock Saturday morning with
'The Lost World" as the feature
offering.
Two hungry prehistoric dino
saurs of the allosuuruB species
were out looking lor breakfast.
Bessie Love, Wallace Beery and
Lewis Stone who, In the photoplay
find the monsters of the Jurassic
period still alive in South Aincr-
ico, saw them and scurried for
a cave. From thitj place of safety
thoy watched tho fearsome meat-
eaters, each as big as five or six
elephants.
The reptilian gianta came upon
what they thought was a tone
baby trtceratops. This youngster
was about the size of one elephant
and the carnivorous dinosaurs de
cided ho wolud do very well for
the first course.
The allosaurusee pounced upon
the young ticeratepa, uning their
foot-long claws and teeth as big
as n man's wrist.
Then they discovered the baby
was not alone!
Mamma tricuratops camo tear
ing into the scene, the earth quak
ing under her tons of infuriated
tlesh, for she was also as big as
five or six elephants.
Tho triceratops species if dino
saur was a vegeterian and did not
have the teeth of the meat-enters,
or tho clams. But nature had en
dowed mamma triceratops with ,
something more valuable in a con- !
flint than lonff teeth and claws.
Over her eyes she wore two long,
vicious horn or tuBks and a short
er one over her nose.
As mamma triceratops charged
up, the two alloeauruses had kill
ed the baby and were about to be
gin their repast. With one fell
toss of her- bead she gored one ai
losaursue wad his career on enrih
was ended. The other beat a has
ty retreat, and being a Bwifter
moving dlnosuur than triceratops,
had o difficulty In making bis
es'ape.
This Is only cne conflict be
tween might mor.stcrs of the dim
past that Bessie Love, Beery and
Stone witness while inhabitants of
"Tho Lost World." As Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle wrote the novel of
romance and adventure, life re
mains unchanged in the area for
lOb.OOO centuries.

PROTEST FILED
OVER ESTATE OF
Jl
Judications that the estate of
the late Judge William H. Down
ing, former county judge for this
county, may bs dragged Into liti
gation are carried in a petition
filed with the county court over
which llio late Judge presided, ob
jecting to setting apart aa exempt
the roal property that the widow
asks be exempted for homestead
purposes, and also objecting to
setting aside ?75 a month for the
support and maintenance of the
widow.
Objectors are Elmer and George
Downing, sons of the deceased.
Josepha Downing, widow aud ad
ministratrix of the estate, Is not
Kio mother of the two sons mak
ing the objections, these being
sons by a former wife.
The petition charges that objec
tions to setting apart of real prop
erty asked to b) exempted as a
homestead in the widows peti-
lions arc hased on the fact that
the property in question is not
subject to be set aside and that it
is worth fully 5500. The law al
lows $3000 worth of property to
bo sot aside as exempt as the
widow's homestead.
Tho petition further asks that
the pettiion of tho widow for 575
monthly support money be denied
on the grounds that taking Into
consideration the property ot tuc
widow In her own right together
with tho personal property ot the
widow thai, there is no necessity
tor It. The petition slates that
netilioners do not know just the
extern of the widow's own proper
ty but that it is a large amount,
sufficient in every way lor ner
maintenance.
Pronertr Involved In tbe estate
ot the late Judge Downing is prin
cipally made up ot boautiful

cluding two large tracts, one of

ROME'S OPERA SEASON
SHOWS HUGE DEFICIT
Home Moving I -'-.lures, the
radio and other new tangled
forms of amusement have so far
claimed the affection of the Ro
mans that the capital ot the na
tion which is generally consider
ed the home ot grand opera is un
able to support Its single lyrico
dramntic institution, the Costami
Grand Opera house.
Playhouses dispensing light
opera managed to eke out a more
or less profitable livelihood dur
ing the season now ending, but
the Costanzi which ranks after
the Sala ot Milan and the S.in
Carlo r ' Naples, as the most pre
tentious of Italy's opera houses,
fell upon evil days and rolled up

Thin, Pale, Tired?
Look Out For
Chronic Fatigue
One of the most Insidious ail

Thousands are only half alive,

In the great majority ot cases, the
real trouble is chronic fatigue.
Chronic fatigue is entirely dif
