How to Have Good Beds..

"We spend third of our livcsfn
bed; and yet beds are not made o. ss-
preme or even very Important con-
sideratioh IN the equipment of most
homes. The fact is strangely unac-
eountabisS writes Ella Morris
Kresschmar, IN the Wo1GaD's Home
Companion. "AHne of Austria told
her friend Cardinal Nlszdsln that her
idea of future Punishment was-to be
put between linen sheets. So would
say many if questioned-~St least the
protest against linen would be long
and loud. In winter it borders spon
refined torture, in summer it is fairly
comfortable, but not sufficiently so to
Justify its expensiveness. Nice cot
ton sheets, made long enough to tuck
in generously, are the sensible thing,
and good enough for the most fas-
tidious.~s Sheets should measure at
least two end three quarters yards
This will makssthe sheet long enough
to tuck it we'll insat the foot and give
enough at the top\to turn back and
prevent the blanketSfrpm coming In
contact with the face and hands. why
will people make sheets too short? 1t
is one of those sins of domestic man
agement which encourages male hu-
mainly to profanity and women to
hysteria. Did any woman ever save
ten dollars in lifetimeNby shortening
her sheets? If she did, her family,
if normal, have taken it out OF her
nerves.

THE PETTINESS OF TIE HALO
PuOBIST.

Without any claim to speak, with the
slightest degree of authority for Gov.
ernor Scofield, we confidently. advance
the opinion that he must bs chagrined
beyond the power of verbal expression
a. the infnitesimal pettiness of those
who would forestall Assemblymsn Hall
of Knapp, in the introduction of an
anti-pass bill.
1t goes without saying that every
member of the Legislature has the I'M
doubted right so to do and also that
many may and do conscientiously enter.
tain opinions, ct variance with those
held by Mr.. Hall, as to the details of
legislation in this connection to which
hey yield loyal support, without reeer-
vstion, as part and parcel Of the re
publican platform.
1t is equally true, if not demoustrably
Sd, that tn are ara Hal = ohobists OF such
small calibre that they are determined,
if possible, to rob Mr.. Hall of the credit
due to him as the admitted champion of
anti pass Legislation. Yet, such efforts
will prove as futile as they are puerile
and unworthy. Every man, woman
and oiail d in Wisconsin will know and
speak, for all time, of the "Hall anti-pass
law" whether or not, it bear the sign
manual of committee or member, other
than that gentleman himself.
We hear much of the unifcation of
the republican party. 1t is consum-
nation devoutly to be wished. Will
psttiness such as this develop unifica4
ton? Would it not be both graceful
and manly tribute of that esteem which
the most bitter political antagonist must,
in his heart, yield to most able, pure
and lifelong republican, to give the right
OF way to Mr.. Halls bill?
The governors message, if observed
in letter and spirit by the Legislature,
must contribute measurably to the silent
ard permanent unifcation of the re-
publican party. Is not ''pin- prick"
policy showing its head which, by coun-
ter irritation, if persisted in must in
evitably and largely neutralize the eff
forts of Governor Scofeld and those
hitherto opposed to him who mutually
and sincerely desire party unity?

Assenhlynau Dahfs Bill on the sunlect-

Way Than the Old One,

Asseinnlymau DahIS Bill on the Subject
lie Considers II Safer and Better
Way Than the Old One.
La the assembly, last Thursday, Hon.
A. Il. Dahl, of this county, introduced a
bill looking to the manner of changing
names. He thinks his plec will simpii-
fy aud make more complete g record
the law on this subject. The present
law provides that the county board of
supervisors may change persons name
by making application thereto. 1t
would in our OPT be desirable to
amend the bill bS providing for suffi-
Gent and due publication of such change
of name for the information of business
men and the public generally.
Any person desiring to alter or change
his or her name may do so by filing with
the register of deeds Of the county in
which no resides, a declaration setting
forth substantially Bs follows: "a his
name or names as usually used and
known at the time of the declaration.
with his place of residence, giving street
and house number if he resides in n
town where houses are numbered; (2)
his age, place of birth, and, il of foreign
birth, the time he came to this country.
and approximately the length of time he
has resided In each place; (3) briefly
and concisely the object and purpose of
the alteration or change of name. fo-
example, too many of the same name,

thus made, shall have been fled in the

county in which the party making the
declaration resides, the new name shall
then be the name of the party making
the declaration. 1t shall be the duty of

lively all declarations filed in his office.
and TO index both the old and the new
names of the declarators, so that the
declarations may easily bs found and
referred to under both the old and the
new names. Such index must show,
besides the names and the number of
the declaration, also the date of filing,
the postolfice address of the declarator
opposite both the old and the new name.
For fling and indexing tue register OF

each declaration to be paid by the per-

LOYALTY IN POLITICS.

Ole OF the highest of human
attributes is loyalty. To the profes
sional politician and broker no attribute
is as susceptible of easy and effective
manipulation and when the object of his
fell designs, more prolific in the results
he desires to procure.
The present senatorial contest is
field pregnant with opportunity for the
operator on ones loyalty. In no point
ofhis makeup is the manly and honor
able man or boy as vulnerable and sensi
tive to aspersion or suspicion as in the
sincerity and answering fidelity of his
friendship and devotion for man or po-
litical party. In spite of tradition tc
the contrary, the large majority of our
Legislators are honorable men.
A member of the legislat ure carefully
and honestly decides OF the candidate
he will support as most closely in accort
with the wishes and opinions of his con
stitus nts and his own as their represen
tation. This is his first duty in the
premises.
Then the political broker, or one high
up IN party management, appeals to hi
loyalty to the party. That A is bet
ter qualified man than B, vote anC
Office getter, and that parry interests de
mand his election. That party he.
higher claims than any Individual
That if the legislator does not sacrifice
his convictions and support A, he is nc
true republican.
Again: A deadlock results. The
managers of each candidate, in turn
direct their batteries on his loyalty to
principle. A, B, @ or d, as the case
may be, is the only one consistent and
unshaken in his record in the support
Of the fundamental republican doctrine
of protection.
Once more: Here comes the candi-
date ct his first choice to whom through
four score ballots he has given his
steadfast support. The candidate pleads
with the legislator to spurn, as he would
S'tan himself, the manager or broker
who suggests his chances of election
a"e dream and a myth. Again, his
loyalty to his first love and his duty to
his constituency Is appealed to. The
night mare of unfounded charges of
selling ont disturbs his sleeping and
waking hours. He remains loyal to his
candidate and listens breathlessly to the
announcement of the final vote. The
deadlock is finally broken. A combina-
tion by other candidates in an appeal to
loyalty to the best interests of the
party is successful. His caudi-
date is beaten, his loyalty to party is
vigorously aspersed and he is blamed as
one OF faction whose obstinacy i'm
posed unnecessary expense upon the
Commonwealth.
But: He has the comfort of clear
conscience and of unfailing loyalty to
an ideal honestly conceived but ruth
lessiy destroyed. What wonder if he
yearn for the direct election of a United
States senator by the people them
selves?
