Oshkosh Northwestern: TIE bill re-
quiring BARRIERS to submit to an exam
nation by state board and permitting
them to ply their trade only upon q
license issued by that board, has passed
one house of the legislature, and is
likely to pass the other. Now there are
the blacksmiths. Why not,equire them
to pass an examination in the knowledge
of horses feet and in the scientific fit
ting of horse shoes? In fact there is
more reason to require high degree of
skill In a horseshoer than in face
scraper. The human victim can yell
and swear and knock the barber across
the room, but the poor horse must suffer
in silence the mistakes and blunders of
the blacksmith. Uncle Jerry Rusk's
horse book says more horses are spoiled
in the blacksmith shop than in the har-
ness, aud a chapter is devoted to the
scientific philosophy of shoeing. II it
is held that the art of shaving should
require a knowledge of skin diseases
and the proper use of antiseptics, a
humane consideration for the noble
horse might suggest the necessity for
an anatomical and physiological famili-
arity with tina hOrea's h0of on tho mart
of every blacksmith.

Evening Wisconsin: The Senate COM
mittee on state affairs has under consid-
Grafton bill introduced by Senator
Woodwork which proposes to double
the salary of members of the legislator Q
increasing it to $1,000, and to allow
each member three cents for each mile
he travels in going to and from his
home. One of the senatorial advocates
OF this measure said before the Committee
the other day that such salary would
enable members of the Legislature to
remain in Madison until May. 1t re-
quires no large gift of prophecy to fore
tell that the Republican party would go
out of power al the next election if it
placed itself in position where the
people would holdit responsible for the
passage of such law. The people do
not desire longer sessions of the legis-
lature. They welcome the prospect that
when the members are deprived of passes
they will buckle down to business at
Madison, instead of frittering away half
of the working time every week by 60
ing home.

De Soto Herald: Thousands OF Re-
publicans smothered their indignation
last fall and went to the polls and voted
because of the platform pledges and the
love they bear the party. But suppose
the present machine tactics prevail,
what will happen at the next state con-
vention, and if perchance the convention
should be repetition of the last, what
will happen at the polls? Will those
$1,000 voters return to the fold or will
they be joined by 100000 more? These
are questions it might be well for party
managers to consider. The people wi ]
not always be satisfied with mere
