against a conspiracy on the part Of EN-

against a conspiracy on the part Of EN-
ployers.
This exemption of employees or laboring
men from persecution by employers fox
quitting is peculiarly important in this
day of commercial distress. If the law
as it now stands does not protect men
who have quit the service of employers
from blacklisting, such as / have indi-
Gated. it should, in my judgment, be so
amended as to plainly include it.
1t is of the highest Importance that the
best possible relations should exist be-
tween capital and labor. Neither should
be permitted to invade the rights of the
other; each should deal with the other
IN the spirit of Cancellation, and in the
settlement of differences arbitration
should, so far as possible, be made to
take the place of strikes and lockouts.
Compulsory Arbitration Impracticab1e.
confess | do not see my way clear
to any efficient scheme of compulsory ar
bltratlon, under existing constitutional
provisions, nor am [ certain that such a
scheme is possible without involving the
surrender by both labor and capital of
rights which men hold to be very sa-
cred. 1t must be borne in mind that the
right OF men to contract with each other
is fundamental in our constitution, and
that any Subr0gatlon of this right must
work serious disadvantage to all con-
cerned. L am not willing to admit, how
ever, that the state may not, through the
investigation and cOnciliatory interven-
ton of officials provided for by law, do
much toward bringing about the adjust
ment OF differences between labor and
capital which shall be at once honorable
and fair to both sides.
The object is so important of accom-
pliShment as to justify experimental leg
islation upon the matter. / bespeak for
the subject your most thoughtful and
careful deliberation, with assurance of
earnest executive cooperation in any
feasible plan which your wisdom may
devise.
Conclusion.
In conclusion permit me to express the
hope that the session now opening may
be chara cteriZed throughout by a sincere
regard for the public interest. Economy
may well be the Watchword of the serv-
ants of commonwealth so well endowed
with material resources as ours; but it is
a true economy which the people desire;
an economy which tends rather to wise
expenditure of public funds than to a
niggardly provision for those purposes
which high conception of the public
welfare demands.
Every avenue of expenditure should be
carefully scrutinized. Every department
OF the state government should be
watched with a jealous eye. Unneces-
sary and superfiuous officers in all depart
ments should be abolished, and no new
Offices should be created for which there
is not an unmistakable demand in the in
terest of the public service.
The session should be as short and as
expeditions as is compatible with an hon
est and thorough consideration of the
measures which shall como before you.
In all your efforts to advance the moral
and material welfare of the people of the
state you will have, [ assure you, my
hearty cooperation.

Annual Meeting Of the State As
ISOLATION to be Held at
Madison.
DISCUSSION ON THE SUBJECT.
An Illustrated Lecture to be Given by
Prof. Fernow-Other State
Specials.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE third an
nual meeting of the Wisconsin State For
estry association will be held in Madison
on Wednesday evening and Thursday
afternoon and evening. January 30 and
81. B. e. Fernow, who for many years
has been at the head of the division of
forestry OF the department of agriculture,
has been engaged to deliver two adj
dresses on that occasion, one of which,
The Battle of the Forest" is a popular
lecture, fully illustrated by stereopticon
views. The second will be an address
more from practical and economic
standpoint. Mr.. Fernow is a thorough
ly educated man, and at the same time
a man OF sound practical ideas. He has
thrown his whole life and energy into
the study Of forestry. His Battle of the
Forest" wherever given, ELECTS the high
est commendation. The association, de-
string that the people of Wisconsin have
an opportunity to hear what this man
has to say concerning one of the most
productive sources of wealth and happi-
ness-the forests of the country-has pro-
vided that these addresses shall be fur
nished to the public free of. charge.
The session on Thursday afternoon
will be especially important The cleo
ton of officers will occur at that time
Likewise the discussion and perfection of
plans for securing the passage of bills
which 1T is the purpose of the assOcia-
soon as practicable. These bills will pro-
vide for better safeguards against the
ravages of fire. and for a more rational
method Of managing the forest lands yet
controlled by the state.
At the annual meeting of the American
Forestry ass4 ciation, held December %
last, the following report was made by
the executive committee:
In the West the terrible forest fires which
ragged more fiercely this summer and have
cost more lives than for many years past,
have reused public attention to the necessity
of measures to prevent occurrences of this
