member ef the Cleveland bar, when the
supreme court judges used to go from
county to county, on horseback or in
buggies, and bold court. On the occa-

in the courthouse that stood on the
south side of the public square. The
judges were: Judges Hitchcock, Eben-

Grimke; Harvey Rice was clerk and NJ.

and in which the late Sherlock J. An

a contract and a jury was demanded.
There were not so many people hanging
around the courthouse as there are now,

Madison, Wis, Jan. 14.-Following is
u message of Gen. Seofield delivered
before the Legislature to-day:
The constitution directs that the gov
ernor shall communicate to the legislature
at every session the condition of the state
and recommend such matters to them for
their consideration as he may deem ex-
pedient.
Before proceeding to perform THIS duty,
desire to congratulate you and the people
Of the state upon the fact that, notwith-
standing the severe financial and industri-
al crisis through which the country has
passed since 1898, Wisconsin has not sui
fered greatly.
Our state possesses so great a variety of
resources, and the character OF our popula-
ton is such. that no ordinary disturbance
IN the Industrial world can seriously affect
US While we have felt, therefore. the
stringent times. and while many people
within the state are out OF employment
and many industries idle. we are suffering
much less than some of otlr sister states
"a fact for which We should be profoundly
grateful.
There will be submitted to you the re-
ports of the various state officers and the
heads of departments. each of which con-
tains recommendations for the Improve
ment of the public service. These reports
will. I have no doubt, receive the careful
attention which they deserve.
The trust imposed upon your honorable
body, in one of the branches of the state
government, is a highly important one.
Each member of the legislature is chosen,
not especially to represent his own sec
ton, but rather a. representative Of the
state and its varied interests. Upon each
member, therefore, rests the responsible
ty of furthering those interests which
affect the welfare of the entire state.

the states welfare. but little attention is
