La Follette's Magazine

The suggestion recently was bandied about that President Harding should have a press agent. If Senator La Follette should ever become President, he, at least, would not lack one--for he has La Follette's Magazine. Over its pages he spreads half a dozen articles or so in .each monthly issue, and beneath each and every one of these appears his signa-ture--large enough for President Harding to read without spectacles.

The name of La Follette is all in all to the magazine. Robert M. La Follette is its editor. Belle Case La Follette (Mrs. Robert M.) conducts its Home and Education departments. Already it is entering upon its 15th year.

Private monopoly is its chief topic. Says the blurb: " Month by month we shall present some phase of GOVERNMENT BY PRIVATE MONOPLY. 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' (Signed) Robert M. La Follette."

Its devastating contents are well exemplified by a short article in the current number headed " TAFT ":

"Demands are being made that William Howard Taft should renounce his ten thousand dollar Carnegie-Corporation-annuity, or resign as chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. The demands are wholly without merit." If he gives up the annuity he will still be "the same man mentally and morally . . . still be chief justice. . . . On the other hand, suppose he did resign. What then? Harding is still President. He would appoint Taft's successor and the United States Senate would confirm the appointment. (Signed) Robert M. La Follette."
