a Good Veto.

Madison Democrat: 1t is unfort-
innate for Gov. La Toilette that in
fants are forbidden the franchise
else he would be certain to enjoy
their unanimous support and undi-
vided support and undivided vote
that is, Of infants whose estates must
run the gauntlet Of the probate
courts. His veto recently Of bill
whose only purpose was to enable
county judges to reduce for their
own benifit such estates to the ex-
tent Of $3.50 every time IA record was
made OF the mortgaging, leasing or
sale OF such property is the highest
degree mefitorious. Probate Judges
are now pad very comfortable sal
aries for doing just such work,-sal-
aries SO comfortable IN fact that they
invite exciting strifes for the posi-
lions every time vacancies occur.
The aggression upou justice was in
this case 50 small that ii took more
courage on the part Of the governor
to attack the wrong, than were the
ofiiensc greater; and particularly is
his act shown to be bold and unself-
ish when it Is remembered that his
former law accociate and close per-
sonal and political friend is soon to
be IN "A position to profit enormous
ly by the very act which he has thus
repudiated.

Why Jones Hstos lsFollette.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
All history proves that defeated po-
litical candidates are naturally sore
towards those who squeIch them be-
cause they are stronger In the esti-
nation OF tn" people. Last summer,
pending the republican state conven-
ton, Long Jones Of Waukesha made
n strenuous effort for two weeks to Sc
cure the republican nomination for
governor. The outcome was partic-
lnfly noticeable. Notwithstanding
his supposed popularity, the dele
gates from his own county, Wauke-
shh were vrrwhelmingly against
INN. preferring Robert NJ. La Toilette.
and the flGnl result was that ia the
republican state convention Jones
did not receive IA single vot, for the
republican nomination for governor.
Jones is II politician who cannot for
get such an incident. Therefore the
manifest aniinosity which he betrays
against the republican state admin
istration Is not surprising aud was
rather expected by everybody who
understands the feelings of IA dissap-
pointed politician.

1t Is a sad employment for the edi.

esteemed neighbors aud friends. In
many years experience this duty has
seldom been so painful as now, when
it is to be performed for one whom

that William Fl. Curry is no more.
On Saturday afternoon, at about 8
o'clock. after an illness Of but five
days, he closed his kindly eyes to
open them no more on earth, and on
Tuesday the 10th, just week from
the time he took his bed, his mortal
remains were deposited in Graceland
Cemetery for final rest
Mr.. Curry attended Easter Sunday
services at the Masonic Temple
The day following he was somewhat
indisposed, aud did not leave his
better, and walked out on the porch
That evening he was taken with
severe pains in his left leg. A ply
stefan was called and treatment
given, the af'liction being generally
thought to be- acute rheumatism. By
wednesday night violent erysipelas
had developed, which rapidly grew
worse; the limb swelling very much
and copiously suppurating. The con-
did not apprchend immediate dan
ger until Friday night. Saturday
morning however, the physicians
found that the poison had spread
through bis system, and abandoned
hope for his recovery, aud notwith-
standing all that skill could do,
death resulted at the hour stated.
Willim II. Curry was born in
England, July Sth, 1880. When he
was II youth he came with his par
ents to America, and the family set
tied in Mineral Point in 1916. For
the 30 years succeeding his home
has been here. He has served the
city and county ably and faithfully
in several capacities; many years
as city clerk and two terms as coun-
ty treasurer. In early life he en-
braced christianity, and throughout
his career lived up to the standard
Of his professions. He attain ed prom-
inence in civic circles, filling many
important positions, among the lat
est being that Of Prelate of Mineral
Point Commandery Knights Temp
lar.
In January 1859 he was married
10 Miss Susan Richards, for whom he
has been Il sincere mOurner since her
death in 1883. Two children survive
him, a son, VIM. j., who is an invalid,
and a daughter, Miss Annie, the latter
having been always with him, and
to whom his death seemed more than
the loss Of an aged father A little
grandson and granddaughter, bar
ley and Ethel, who since their fathers
afIliction have been as the children
of their grandfather, are with their
aunt in the bereaved home. One
other son died in childhood.
The funeral, conducted by the Ma
sonic Lodge and Rev. Geo. Merri-
field pastor of the NJ. f.. church, was
largely attended, Notwithstanding in

Whereas. In obedience TO the mandate of
Divine Providence, the angel of death has en-
tered our lodge and taken from thence our
we'll beloved Brother William II. Curry: and
Whereas, We desire to place upon record
here, in our earthly tabernacle, a fitting me-
mortal of those christian virtues which
adorned his life, by aid of which he trium-

made with hands, eternal in the heavens,
Resolved, That while the decree that re
moved him from this life remains wrapped in
mystery. and shrotrded in gloom, we obedi-
entity submit TO it ~ coming from the Grand
Master OF the Universe
Resolved That in his daily life our departed
Brother exemplifod in an unusual degree
the real principles of our order-loving loyalty
To wife, children, brethren and neighbors.
Resolved. That while we cannot restore the
loss TO those who most deeply mourn him. we,
with sorrowing hearts sympathize with them.
