EDITOR OF THE PIuoT:-Be kind enough
to permit me word or two IN reply to
your comments on my letter published
last week. As / have understood you,
YOU base your structures, upon the as
sumption that the real and only objec-
ton to the Bennett law is because it con-
tains the provision providing for compul-
sorry education in the English language.
Admitting, that that is true. Yet upon
the record. such does not appear to be
the fact. but the contrary. In dellber-
alive body, as l understand it legislator
must be guided in voting upon PROPOSE
ton as it appears in the record, without
reference to what may be the motive OF
those behind it. In other words, the
proposition as it is, and not what some
one else may think it means. l am will
ing to coucede that the motive OF the
Democrats was as base as can be descrlb-
ed or imagined. The Republicans how
ever had to meet the record and not the
motive of the Democrats.

THERE is prospect that the managers
of tho legislature will soon disclalm any
intention of practicing economy by abol-
ishing ali offices relating to agriculture.
The farmer has been heard from on the
question of aboIishing the farmers instl-
tute and his protest is most emphatic.
There are grumblings of discomfort over
the purposed abolition of the office of
dairy and food commissioner also. The
position OF state veterinarian will prob
ably have to go in the interests OF econ
omy. 1t would seem however that econ
omy should start with the multitude OF
persons engagedin compiling war records
at an annual expense of $4,000 per year

Mr.. JOHN NAGLE,

Mr.. JOHN NAGLE,
Dear Sir:-In the Pilot of the fifth
INST, you say, it is as much the parents
right to decide whether child shall work
in a factory or not, as II is to decide
whether he should go to school or not.
You are in a middle. The two laws to
read alike should say: You shall send
your child to school. You shall send your
child to a factory; or you shall not send
YOUR child to a factory. You shall not
send your child to school. We have
many laws saying You shall not do wrong
as you shall not send your child to fac
tory. But none saying you shall do right,
as Won shall rescue a drowning man or
Won shall send your child to school. Such
law would be the first step towards the
overthrow of American liberty. For the
next might be, you shall send your child
TO dancing school to learn pollteness,
where he shall be taught at least Twelve
weeks in the year to jig. And next to a
church school where he shall be taught
catechism, and so on until we are carried
back to the most ancient form of govern
ment except substituting the state for
the patriarch Probably your not being
a parent prevents you from realizing the
awfulness of such condition.
Why, sir, my wife would have gone to
the utermost parts of the earth, and live
in caves and dens, before she would have
been compelled to send her children to
school to be taught that which she did
not wish them to know. And there is
not woman in the whole land, who
would not spurn the idea of being dictat-
ed to as to what she should teach her
child, for she knows right we'll that the
God above constituted her its sole and
only guardian. No, Sir, give us a simple
law capable of preventing people from
trespassing on the rights of others, and
to provide for the helpless, and for doing
all necessary work which cannot be ac-
complishe1 by private enterprise, and
leave the rest to the people. Enclosed
find two dollars to pay for the Pilot. l
can not do without it. It is the best
county paper L ever read, the Bennett
law Notwithstanding.
Yours Truly,

A PECULIAR scene occurred on the
strests of Prairie du Chen last week. A
person who had been employed as an at
tendant in pest house, contracted the
disease and while delir.ous ran ont on
the street. The whole town was panic
stricken and the patient. scantily clad,
refused to return to the house from which
he escaped. An officer attempted to ar
rest him but the man broke away. The
officer fred at him aud hit him in the leg.
The man fell and was then brought back
TO the pest house. Bat his exposure
brought on pneumonia and he died from
the combined effects OF that, smallpox
aud his wound.

Mr.. SMITH is correct when he says we
have many laws saying you shall not do
wrong. The defunct Bennett law says
the parent shall not do a wrong to his
child by not sending him to a school in
which he may be taught English. 1t is a
law, Just such as Mr.. Smith intimates is
proper" protecting the helpless" chill
dren against the crime of the parents
negligence The law would compel no
one to send his child to any school where
he may be taught that which the parent
did not wish him to know" unless, iu-
deed the Objectionable matter is English.
The fact that English is taught In all
public schools and most church schools
does not make these schools any less
moral than the schools in which English
is not taught.
The very fear expressed that the next
step might be to require children to at
tend dancing school would also operate
against collection OF taxes, as the next
step might be fatal coutiscation Of prop
erty. Neither could we approve OF any
punishment for some of the lighter often
ses, such as assault and battery, as the
next slept might be capital punishment
for these offenses. That doctrine OF fear
would ask for abolition of all the milder
forms of punishment for offenses against
the law, because the punishment might
be increased.
Mr.. Smiths letter was possibly not in
tended for publication, but it states the
arguments of the opponents of the law
so succinctly and there is evidence OF
such honesty in it, that it is pleasure
to publish it. He need have no fear that
any law requiring English to be taught
will ever be passed in Wisconsin again.
There is nothing feared more in Madison
than the word English" Members do
not dare to speak the word aloud and
whenever they have occasion to use it,
it is whispered.

WHAT'S the matter with the Business
Mems Association? Is it dead or only
leeping? it is about time to be up and
doing. If dead, it would be of benefit to
the city to organize an Advancement As
ISOLATION. Such a name sounds better,
creates no prejudice and is more appro-
pirate Bankers and merchants, indeed
all middlemen, derive but little advan-
tage from the growth of city, for with
the chances of increased trade comes adj
ditional competition. The benefits of
growth accrue to the laborers, skilled
and unskilled, and to the owners of real
estate. If then, duty exists of adver-
Using the city's advantages and advanc-
ing its interests, that duty devolves on
the two classes mentioned. The first
named is unable to do anything except
by co operation, and this feature of indus
trial activity is not yet sufficiently de-
yelo ped to be practical. Upon the last
named, the real estate owners, the prin-
cipal work thus falls. What have the
principal land owners of this city ever
done for its advancement? The answer
is lost echoing in the neighborhood of
New York. No town can grow to any
size when large number of its lots are
held by eastern capitalists who will not
sell at any price. 1t is such a condition
as this that present a fruitful field for
Henry Georges theories, and create a
desire to tax these land barons into
activity. An advancement association
may by arguments, and appeals to
and retrograding policy. The results
possible to be attained are at least worth
the effort.

on Saturdays, and are doing grand,
good work among the poorer classes. By

city, such institutions could be establish

that in after years will do much toward
