If the democratic Orators are suffer
ing for an example of paternal legisla
ton to rail around, what's the matter
with the Dodge legacy law? This very
peculiar enactment was originated with
and passed by the last democratic legis-
latur6 soon after the Bennett law was
repealed. 1t was approved By Gov
Peck, and endorsed along with the ger
rymanders and other queer legislation
perfected by the state administration.
Under that law a man upon his death
bed or woman either. can will cent
for prayers for immortal souls nor make
brquest to any church or benevolent
organization, without invalidating the
Will. This law was introduced in the
legisure by Mr.. }. Dodge, Of Racine.
Mr. Dodge is one of the orators booked
to make campaign speeches for the
democratic party throughout Wisconsin
this year. He is y lawyer, and if the
Dodge legacy law is not designed to
frustate the last earthly wishes of the
Christian, nullify the counsel Of the
priest or pastor at the last sick bed. and
assist attorneys in contesting wills and

made Miller and his friends mad Now
Miller is out as an independent candi-

dream is his last.
