VOTERS WANT ECONOMY.
Constitutional Amendment was Badly
Beaten at the Polls

The constitutional amendment to
give the legislative power to fix the
salary of the state superintendent was
evidently badly beaten at the election
this month Official reports from thir-
ty-six of the seventy counties of the
state show only 17,7S4 votes in favor
of the amendment and 81 ,313 against
it, majority against the amendment
of 13, 500 in over half the counties in
this state. Only nine of the thirty-six
counties gave maiorities for the amend
ment and those were very small.

McKinley's cabinet have created con-
siderable comment. Interest in the
boom of Fl Payne, of Milwaukee, was
intensified by the report from New
York that Congressman r. M. La
Toilette, Of Madison, would be one of
those chosen. The two men are lead
ers in hostile camps in the republican
party, and the selection of either would
be political blow to the other. An
odd feature of the situation is that
both LaFollette and Payne are close to
the incoming administration, Payne
being an intimate friend Of Chairman
Hanna and LaFolette Of the president

ways and means committee that framed
the Mckinley law. Should the presi-

the little farm upon which they re-
side, and fish hawks are plentiful. The
boys Of the household keep close watch
for llshhawk nests, and catch the birds
before they are able to fly. Then these
chicks are raised In happy-gO-lucky
sort Of way until the older birds of the
flock train them how to fish.
The hawks are let loose and the boys
lay In the grass by the side Of the
stream watching them. When q hawk
