THERE are few things that escape
the tiuge Of politics and partisanship
nowadays, but it has been the effort of
the best people to preserve and protect
judicial elections from any such inhu-
ence. In this circuit the average of
ability and service has been SO high
that there has been the disposition to
attribute it to the non-politica1 and
and bipartisan nature of the cleo
tons that have resulted in the choice
of the able men who have thus far oc-
cupied the bench of the Circuit Court.
To maintain the high character and
the pure character of the judiciary IN
this circuit has been justly matter of
pride with the people of the First Ju-
dicial circuit and they have bent their
efforts in that direction. The &C
know1edged ability of John B. Sim
mons, his wide and diversified expert
ence as practitioner, his high char
acter and the dignity of his course as
a candidate for the Circuit Judgeship
all entit1e him to the consideration OF
TIE people. He is true to the tradl-
tons of the circuit in his candidacy
and has absolutely refrained from
personal canvass or any personal ap-
pea1s in the interests of his candidacy.
He stands on his record as lawyer
aud man. He has not sought to in
fuence sentiment in his favor in any
other why than by a straightforward
and dignified course. He has made
no bids for party or political favor.
He has not sought to bolster up his
by demand upon the at
fi1iation and sympathy OF any club or
society or organization of any kind
whatsoever. His record as a candi-
date is entirely free from the charge
of personal effort and e1ectioneering.
All these things are calculated to en-
list the support of the people. They
indicate the character of Mr.. Simmons
and manifest his purpose to let the Of
fee seek him, and to resort to no other
means of gaining the end than is con-
sistent with the exalted position to
which he has been invited.

COPIES of the primary election bill
have been sent the Wisconsin Con-
gressmen and some of them have filed
their opinions. Congressman Cooper
and jenkins make the same objections
to certain provisions that have been
made quite freely throughout the
State. They express the belief that
there should be no difficulty in over
coming these objections and so amend
ing the bill as to avoid the present OBJ
7ections. There seems little reason to
doubt that there will hessome amend
ments made to the bill. The objeC-
lions thus far raised are seemingly
rood and have not been overcome by
the arguments of the friends of the
present measure. The principle to the
abuse of the bill is the only principle
an which primaries should be con-
Quoted. There should be no reason
why a primary election law as good
aud effective in it's operation should
got be enacted in the StateIof Wiscon-
sin as in any other State in the Union.
IF criticism is met fairly and an honest
effort is made to promote the best pos
Sib1e primary election law for this
State, we will have it.

G. R. Mcdowell and John T. Yule to
Form an Association Against the
Telephone Company.
WILL ASK AID OF THE COURTS.
Two Well Known Residents of Park Avenue
Start an Aggressive Fight Against
the Telephone Company.

G. r. Mcdowell and John T. Yu1e
have formed bond against the tele
phone company and today they started
the work of organizing the residents
of Park avenue for a determined fight
against the company. Mr.. Mcdowell
was seen this afternoon and stated
that they hoped to bring all the resi-
dents of the street into the controversy
in order to present a solid front to the
company, but that if some of the resi-
dents care to take no part in the legal
proceedings, the fight would go on just
the same. Mr.. Mcdowell said that
neither he nor Mr.. Yu1e would seek to
push ''quO warranto' proceedings
against the company, but they will go
at the trouble in a more elementary
way and ask that the company be re-
quired to abate the nuisance which is
caused by the singing of the wires on
Park avenue. One of the gentlemen
stated he had no personal grievance
against the company, but it was
simply a matter of personal safety.
The singing of the wires has become
such a nuisance that the people de-
clare they cannot sleep.
The men will probably bring an
action in the justice court with the de-
sire of having the matter sent to the
circuit court, where decision may be
given either for or against the COM
pany.
In regard to the matter one of repre-
sentatives of the company in Kenosha
was seen this afternoon and in speak
ing of the noise made by the wires he
stated that if the people would be pa
tient this noise would be done away
with in the near future. He stated
that the noise on the wires was largely
due to the fact that the wires were new
stretched tight and that with the cold
weather the noise could not be pre-
vented. He stated further that before
the next winter the noise on the wires
would be entirely done away with. 1t
is also stated that large amount of
the noise will be abated as soon as the
company completes the work of cable
ing the wires in Kenosha.
The contest against the Ordi-
nance is considered as without
point, and one of the aldermen on the
committee stated today that nothing
further would come of the affair.
The telephone company has shown
disposition to make improvements in
Kenosha, and it is stated that they are
now considering proposition to erect
a building of their own here and place
the wires in the business district under
ground. However, no effort will be
made to carry out these plans before
two years hence.
In the meantime Mr.. Mcdowell and
Mr.. Yu1e are being joined by many
residents of Park avenue and they
promise hot fight.

JUST how many laws will be placed
apon the statutes in Wisconsin as a
result of the present Legislature is i'm
possible to say, but there is enough
noise being made to justify the belief
that there will be a good deal done in
the way of law making. But let the
Legislature beware. Too much legis-
1ation and not enough execution is the
bane of the day. There is consider
able dead tim Der on the statute books
of the State already. There are num-
bers of bills before the Legislature
that would no doubt bring into exist
ence desirable laws, but if they were
ouly to lie on the books unenforced
they would be worse than no laws. If
the present administra ton would make
a strenuous effort to enforce all State
laws that are now disregarded it would
accomplish something in the way of
reform that would be appreciated and
give new meaning and an added in
terest to the reforms IN legislation
under consideration.

much larger storage of ice will be
made this year, the conditions per-

peculiar atmosphere of the last sum-

air melting the ice more than extreme
heat would have done.

A LIBRARY PARTY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred W. Bowen Entertain
Friends in a Unique Manner.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Bowen enter
tanned large number of their friends
Thursday evening, at their home on
Park avenue, the party being one of
the most unique and pleasant social
functions of the season.
It was announced as library party
and as soon as the guests arrived they
were presented with beautiful little
white and red catalogues in which they
were expected to write the names of
thirty books. The titles of the books
were represented by all sorts of de-
vices placed in different parts of the
rooms, and the search for the answers
to the long list of enigmas created
quite little interesting rivalry. AT
the close of the contest dainty gifts
for the library we're presented to those
who had succeeded in solving the most
riddles. The ladies' prizes were won
by Miss Amy Corey, Mrs. w. H. Saun-
ders and Mrs. G. J. Wakeman, and the
gent1emen's honors we're received by
r. E. Mailer, James Cavanagh and
Harry Baldwin.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in pleasant social conversation.
At eleven O'Clock the guests retired to
the dining room, where dainty lunch
con was served. The dining room was
prettily decorated in pink and green,
the table being marvel of the decor
ator's art. 1t was in harmony with
the other decorations of the room, the
entire cloth being covered with pink
ribbons and smilax.

The bishop will leave on We'd nesday on the steamship Majestic on his way to Africa. Nearly 200 were present at the dinner.
 Speaking of progress in Africa, Bishop Hartze1l said:
 II tell you that in no great time the African cities will be the centers of civilization. Within a few years l expect to ride from the cape of Cairo in palace car run over G,OOO miles of steel rails''
