Once upon time, several years ago,
mock legislature was organized dur
ing the session at Madison. Its mem
bers were styled the "SOvereigns.
Geo. Peck was chosen as governor and
appeared before the sovereign body
and delivered the annual message. 1t
was written in Peck's happjest vein
and contained many recommendations
wise and otherwise. One of the
wrongs perpetrated on suffering hui
mainly by the sOulless railroad cor
pOrations that must be reformed was
that of charging the same passenger
fare for small person as for large
one. 1t was not right to make a man
weighing 100 pounds pay as much for
his ride on the cars as another that
tipped the scales at 200 pounds. The
"GOvernOr" recommended that rail
road companies be required to provide
platform scales on all cars and that
passengers be charged fare according
to weight. Peck was playing COVER
nor for fun in those days and his mes
sage was a great success. He has
now become governor in sober earnest.
But, alas, his serious criticisms and
solemn recommendations bear traces
of the humorist and to his old-time
cronies have a strange resemblance to
his cOmical admonition to the "sover-
eigns." 1t is so easy for them to read
between the lines and see, not Gov.
Peck the statesman, but Geo. Peck

The Struggle for Riches.

1t is the misfortune of most people that
they think respectability. happiness,
usefulness. comfort, cannot be had in
large measure without a good deal of
lucre. The hallucination leads ma.
jority of energetic and capable per-
sons into desperate struggles for
riches, in which the present is sacri-
feed to a delusive future. Money
getting becomes a mania that dwarfs
or destroys noble aspiration, and with
deplorable frequency blunts the finer
sensibilities, obscures the moral sense,
perpetuates frauds, forgeries, corpor-
ate exactions and extOrtlOns. Efforts
to gain wealth for wise uses are COM
mendable, but when acquisition de-
generates into avarice, life's great OPP
portunities are lost forever. Better
than finding and owning a gold mine
would be the discovery that compe-
tence is preferable to wealth; that
the gaining and care of a great estate
absorbs time required for true i'm
provement, social culture, enjoyment
and active labOrs for fellow men,

Travelling Churches.

The millionaire magnates. the opera
singers, the great showmen, all have
their "private cars" and now comes
the church, building chapels on wheels
which run to and fro in the earth diff
fusing religious intelligence. Bishop
Walker of the Episcopal church of
North Dakota was the first to build
car fitted with pulpit, organ and pews,
and the Minnesota Baptists are now
building one for their Sunday School
missionary, "Uncle Boston" Smith.
Does it seem little strange that the
first church cars should be built in
the wild Northwest! Well, it is just
way the Northwest has of getting to
the front. Just so with her railroads,
always enterprising, seeking the COM
fort of their patrons, guaranteeing
speed and safety at the same time.
Among these 1.-The Burlington"
stands easily at the front in immense
mileage, number of important places
reached, and elegance of equipment.

Good Brain and Skilled Hand.

There was time when the farmer
selected his brightest boys and edu-
Gated them for doctors. lawyers, and
preachers, while the duller ones were
kept on the farm to earn money to
pay for the schooling of those destined
for the learned professions. Now,
when the good farmer looks at the
many directions in which the farmer
needs skill, training and scientific
knowledge, he sends the dull boys to
college aud prepares them to ill cred
IDLY the learned professions. and keeps
the bright ones to make farmers of.
The man who farms successfully now
must first have good brain, muscle
is less important. Difficult operations
are now mastered by skill instead of
by main strength. good brain and
skillful hand are worth more than
the most powerful muscle. The day
of machinery and skillful planning
has come and that of merely physical
strenti has gone 10y. The farmer is
some hing more than mere producer
of law material. He has the choice
OF plants, and must choose these
which serve his purpose best. In the
domestic animals there is a wide
range for selection. The breed which
Will best consume what he grows and
give the best returns, must be chosen
out of the long list bred for special
purposes, and in every department of
his business both detail and general
results demand rare judgment and adj
ministrative ability. A man who can
run good farm successfully has adj
ministrative ability enough to manage
the affairs of a State.-Ihe North

commenaab.e Innoyation Proposed.

SgAAAAi4N4--4e~D AAAAo tNfSoNNs
While irsi1ned to endorse the gen
eral proposition that defendants
brought before any court of justice
should be given the benefit of all reas-
enable doubts, we are of the number
who candidly believe that our jury
system as at present constituted is
reyerenced in a degree entirely dis
proportlonate to the requirements of
Justice and to an extent which is det-
rimental to the public good. This OBJ
servation has been prompted by joint
resolution No. Is Senate, recently in
troduced by Hon. Charles ;. Taylor o.
Barron Co.. proposing an amendment
to the Constitution of the State of
Wisconsin providing that the legisla-
ture may provide by law for the find
ing of verdict in any civil action or
proceeding upon the agreement of less
than the full jury sworn. We most
cordially support this proposition as
an entering wedge for opening the
way to a revision of the entire jury
system, and the resolution would have
suited us much better had it en-
braced criminal as well as civil pro-
ceedings. Our laws are so carefully
framed and administered that offend.
eTs are, as rule, accorded an unfair
advantage in the courts. and the
Unanimous verdict feature of Jury
trials is the climax of mercy" which
leaves Justice" far in the rear. The
abolition of the grand jury system in
Wisconsin was regarded by many as
doubtful experiment, while now all
thoughtful people wonder that such
an expensive and worse than useless
incubus was so long tolerated, and we
do not hesitate to go on record as ex-
pressing the opinion that the entire
petit jury system might be abolished
with equally beneficial results, and
with less menace to the liberties of
those charged with offenses against
our laws than now face law-abiding
citizens in the jury system, which Of
ten shields evil-doers. That fellow
who is welded to his Idol and
.'stuck" on the jury system will tell
us that juries are calculated to pro-
tect innocent parties; that may be So,
but in the hands of accomplished
criminal lawyers they become so
greatly bewildered that they turn
loose many a criminal of whose guilt
there is no room for reasonable doubt.
With the right of appeal Characters
tic of our judicial system the petit
jury could be done away with at a
great financial saving and without any
we'll grounded fears that our liberties
as law-abiding citizens would be in
the least jeopardized. This may
sound somewhat radical, but we be-
lieve it to be true. Let Mr.. Taylor's
resolution be so amended as to include
both criminal and civil proceedings
and then adopted, and thus give this
proposed reform in our judiciary sys
tenn a start. 1t is a reform that, like
many others, people will prefer to
take in homeopathic doses, but the eff
feet will, in our opinion, prove highly
satisfactory.

Some farmers. and especially farm
ers' boys, get an idea that sharp prac-
tice which may give a temporary ad
vantage will not work to their perma-
nent injury. But there is no business
in which it pays to be dishonest and
untruthful, and this is as true of the
farmers business as in any other. If
there is Misrepresentation and at
tempted cheating by farmer who
brings his produce to market, he is
hencefoTwaTd a marked man, and
must always sell what he has to offer
under suspicion. The farmer who
builds up a reputation for honesty
and fsirdealing can sell in the poorest
market and can get favors which men
of doubtful repute are refused. 1t
pays boys, especially, to be always
truthful, honest and straightforward.
Every man who knows him is ready to
help such a boy, and he never will
want for friends and good wishes. A
good name IS better than great riches.
