Meager Attainment. A Good Young American. She Saw a Hanging. Royalty Matters Little. Bv Arthur Brisbane SENATOR LAFOLLETTE is dead.

When he knew that life was ending, he said, "I have earned a rest," turned hts facp to the wall and died. An ultra-capitalistic newspaper pays: "Senator LaFollette left behind him a meager record of attainment." What is ATTAINMENT? If the same editor had been writing nineteen hundred years ago about the death of Golcotha he probably would have said of the Rreatest of all public servants, "lie' left behind him a meaner record of attainment." LaFollette. died fighting and died poor. His children will Ret him little but his name. Many a man that has piled up millions, when his time comes to turn toward the wall, would gladly exchange those millions for such a name as LaFollette leavps as his sole "attainment." Three times Governor of Wisconsin, and as kooiI a Governor as this Union ever had; four times elected by his state to the 1'nited States Senate; LaFollette, running for President, with no 1 Tarty and no money behind him, received the votes of more than four millions of Americans.

And he ran at a time when the price of wheat, was rapidly rising. With- out that rising wheat, his vote probably would have been dou- bled. Such is public appreciation. It is suggested by one foolish representative of reaction that with LaFollette dead Wisconsin will return to old-fashioned con-j eervatism. The author of the opinion doesn't know Wisconsin.

A more probable suggestion is; that. Wisconsin will send LaFol-! lete's widow to lake his place in the Senate. The state that he, honored in his life will be glad of i 8ny opportunity to honor LaFol-1 lette in his death.
