Local Option Defeated.

Local option was summary defeated
in the Senate at Madison last week by
a vote of 20 noes to 8 ayes, Senator
Reynolds from this district voting for
the bill. 1t appears the question Of To-
cal option as a measure for restricting
the traffic IN intoxicating liquors, has
been quite generally considered in the
state; many petitions and remonstrances
have been forwarded to the legislature.
The preponderance appears to have been
largely in favor Of local option. It used
to be regarded the duty Of legislative
bodies to respect the will Of the people
when fairly expressed. Senator Price,
one Of the longest standing Wisconsin
members Of the legislature, is authority
for saying that the masses were evident
ly ia favor of the bill, as shown by the
petitions asking it. No reason was
given when the bill came up for final
action, why it should not be passed. 1t
sometimes happens that legislat ors op-
posed to measure find it more con-
venient to vote in silence than TO at
tempt to give reasons ior their vote. OF
the senators who voted for local option,
Senators Joiner and Price gave reasons
at length, but not u word was heard
from the twenty-five senators WHO were
opposed to its passage. This was a
disappointment to the crowd of specta-
tors in the hall, who had come to hear
what would be said, it having been an
nounced the question would be dis
posed of that evening.
It is hoped the legislature will not
adjourn without taking. action of some
kind on a question which lie stirring the
public mind from ocean to ocean, and
to which so many states of the Union
have given some consideration the past
month or two. If the excessive use of
intoxicants be such stupendous evil as
is generally charged and admitted, the

Church Semi-Centennials.

The first half century has passed
since the first organization of many
churches in Wisconsin, and a like
period of time with others is soon to
follow. The three oldest Protestant
churches in Kenosha, Methodist,
Baptist and Congregational, have
commemorated their first half cen
tury. The Episcopal church in this
city, will reach its semi-centennial
next year. The Presbyterian church
at Geneva, Walworth Co., will reach
it's 5oth anniversary soon and will
commemorate it April 4th and 9Th.
The program for the two days is an
interesting one and will probably
draw many people. The principle
business towns in Southern Wiscon-
sin, between Lake Michigan and the
Mississippi, began settlement prior to
184o, and in most, if not all of these,
churches we're established, many OF
which have commemorated their
semi centennial.

standstill policy in respect to it is un..
wise. The traffic in alcoholic liquors ia
regulated by law and law makers have
no excuse for neglecting attention to it.
Surprising as it may be, some journals
regarded in the past as progressive,
have thrown out intimations that the
final extinguishment of the liquor trade
| is hopeless. What has been accom-
plished in any one state is not an i'm
possibility in others, when like condi-
ton of public sentiment has been
reached. To assert that the sale in in
toxicants has never yet been prohibited
in any state is to deny the facts Of cur
rent history But say these people: the
laws forbidding the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors are violated in states claiming to
be prohibitory. So too the laws in all
states against murder, stealing, forgery
and all the catalogue crimes prohibited
on the statute book are violated; every
days report through the press comes
burdened with law violations. Who ia
so unreasonable as to object to laws
that are liable to be violated, for what
law is not? All wise legislation in re-.
lation to the traffic in Intoxicating lio-
uors should have an ultimate end in
view; that end in this state may be dis
tant However desirable the total abo-
litlon Of the liquor traffic may e:the pee
pie of Wisconsin in our judgment are
not yet prepared to enter on the adop-
ton of the measure Of prohibition.
But the preparation for that era of
sobriefy may as we'll go on, for there
will be no rest while the disturbing
cause ia tolerated.

The ballot reform to which we
have several times referred, and
which has been agitated in various
states the past few months, has been
adopted in one state, Indiana being
the first to take lead in the reform.
A bill has passed beth branches of
the legislature and signed by the
Governor, based on the Australian
method. Under this law all ballots
are to be printed and distributed by
the state: balloting is to be secret:
no ballots are to be used but those
supplied by the state. This system
of voting may appear to be cumber-
some, but in the countries where it
has been tried, it has been satisfac-
tory. 1t secures an important end
prevention of the possibility of fraud
and the corrupting influence of mon
ey in controlling elections.

The Human Skull.

DR.. Digit, professor of anatomy in
the American College of Beirut, Syria,
has made a careful examination of
collection of human skulls which art
stored away in an old monastery in the
Kedron valley, midway between Jeru-
salem and the Dead Sea. He compared
these skulls with those of the same race
at the present day. The measurements
show some significant difference. The
Caucasian skull has, during the past
thirteen centuries, increased in circum-
ference nearly two inches, and has
gained in cranial capacity three and
one-half cubic inches. There has been
no increase in width. The brain has
gained in height and length-that is t.
say, there has been development OF
the upper and anterior parts of the
brain, the parts which we should ex
pect to increase by education and CIV
ilization, as they preside over the moral
and intellectual functions. The lower
portions of the brain, in which the
lower or more selfish propensities are
centered, and which give breadth to
the head, have, in the march of the
centuries, failed to grow as rapidly as
the higher brain centers, hence the nom
increase in the width of our skulls

Flight of Insects.

Some insects use all four wings in
flight-such, for example, as the dragon

or half-winged insects, use only the
hind pair of wings for flight, the first
pair being greatly thickened and form.

which the flying wings can be sheltered

spikes, the tips of which are knobbed,

Walked i'm His Sleep.

A student at the Institute of Tech
nology, Boston, was i'll in his room on
fremont street-at least he thought he
was in his room, when suddenly awak-
ened by blow on the head, but on
looking about he found that he was in
the hallway of a strange house. He
heard voices in an adjoining room, and
rapping at the door, was admitted to
the room of two fellow-students whom
he knew we'll They hardly knew
whether the visitor was their friend
whom they thought was lying ill six
houses down the block, or his ghost.
He assured them that he was very
much alive, but couldn't tell how he
came there, and they clothed him and
took him to his room and began an in
vestigation of the mystery. They
found a solution. In his sleep he had
risen, opened window, got out on the
mansard roof, which was edged by a
tin gutter and six stories from the side
walk, made his way along this perilous
path past the dormer windows of five
houses, stopped at the sixth, lowered a
window, climbed in and awoke when
he struck his head against a door in
the hall.-Erchange.

sand electric lights in the building, and
ten boilers of 100 horsepower each to
provide for the steam heating. The ten
tons of coal which those engines swal-
low up in a day would be enough to
keep an average family in fuel whole
year. Double sets of men-engineers
watchmen, elevator men, janitors--are
at work night and day throughout the
building. There are no less than a
dozen different elevators running, and
they are nearly always in motion. One
of the most amazing bits of work the
janitors have to attend to constantly is
to keep the apple, candy and chewing
gum peddlers at bay, none of whom

The Violet.

She grew in purple innocence,
In wood and sheltered nook;
Her bed was moss, all hung with dew,
Her mirror was the brook.
The little world that round her feet
with bloom and song was rife
She thought a thing most marvellous,
And dreamed that this was life.
How are the simple fallenl
The woods know her no more
But through great city streets she walks,
Or fingers at a door,
Where maids and matrons
Go by, or in to shop;
Where scores of Fashions devotees
For her their pennies drop.
She trembles on bonnet-top;
She nestles at the throat
OF maidens fair, and at you stares
From many an overcoat.
She glads my ladys mantle,
She smiles II festive halls,
She stands beside blushing bride,
She goes to all the balls.
She decks the heads Of praneing steeds,
with Fashion goes to ride;

Is fairly turned with pridel -EZchdngt
