Senator voss Is All Right.

To the Editor: Is not the criticism of
Senator Voss, in last weeks REPUB-
L1CAN, ill-timed and ill-advised? While
it is true the senator represents but a
small fraction Of the city, his interests
are identical with those of the majority,
For many years he was the governing
spirit in the council, and directed the
deliberations of that body with singular
ability and fitness. TWAS conceded on
all sides that Mr.. Voss was the only
member of the council, during his in
cumbency, that possessed the slightest
qualifications for the position, and in
recognition of his ability was elected
mayor of the city. AS it is an open
question whether there is any improve
ment in the present over former boards
of street commissioners, is not Senator
Voss exercising the prerogatives of a
prudent parent by surrounding the
present and future bodies with the
protection of a law that will save them
even from themselves. The action of
the board in condemning Senator Voss

SUNDAY School Work.

The success Of the International Sun
dav School institute in this city and at
Oshkosh has encouraged the general
superintendent, Or. Gilbert, to plan for
its extension through the state. Miss
Ida Bradshaw, who has labored here
for four months directing the affairs of
the Milwaukee auxiliary, has been in
vited to act as state uperlntendent,
and several representative laymen and
ministers of various denominations
will be selected as an advisory council.
With this simple organization series
of appointments will be made as rapid
ly as possible in the different cities
where Miss Bradshaw will be sent to
speak in behalf of the cause. By this
method it is expected that interest will
be awakened in the general subject of
teacher-tr training, and that classes and
auxiliaries will be formed to do what
has been done in Milwaukee. This is
the plan which has been adopted IN
other states with most gratifying re-

partakes of the nature Of filial ingrati-
tude, and the time will come when the
members will realize the unwisdom of
their action. The assertion that Sena-
tor Voss is invading the domain OF SEN
ator Greene is farcical. The senator
from the southern part Of the county
has no interests in common with those
of the people Of Watertown, and has
probably never given the subject the
least consideration. AS chairman of
the committee on railroads most of his
time is taken up in playing a role he is
we'll up in-issuing free rides to Tom,
Dick and Harry where there is point
to gain by it), who find it convenient
to patronize railroads during a session
of the Wisconsin legislature. But Sen
ator Vess is a live man, and will I'M
dCubtedly prove the best senator Wa
tertown has had for many years.
