vestigation of factories and stores IN
which women and girls are employed
in large numbers. There can be out
slight excuse for conflicting opinion
respecting the wisdom of action IN
harmony with this suggestion. Tue
state cannot reasonably refuse the
same measure of consideration for
women who toll which is accorded 70
male wage-earners engaged in similar
employment. | recommend that pro
v IN be made by the state for tue
emp oyment of a woman as additional
factory inspector; and that the law be
so amended as to secure to women
representation on each of the follow
ing state boards: the board of control
of charitable, penal and reformatory
institutions, the board of university
regents, and the board of normal
school regents"
Gov. La Toilette recommended, in
conclusion, the retention of the land
department; special qualifications in
supervision of printing; that the attor
ney general should make reports,
consideration of the policy of insuring
state property; that an anti-pass con-
stitutional amendment be enacted;
that persons entitled to transporta-

that labor and sanitary laws be
strengthened and fire escapes be re-
quired on school and Office buildings;
that the importation of diseased ami

that free circulating libraries be en-
couraged and that the number of en-

reduced.

The Unprepared Wife.

The normal girl naturally looks cor
ward to the time when she will have
the care of home. husband and child
rem. yet sad to say she is often wholly
unprepared to assume the respon-
sibilities when they come to her. 10
presume to make a home and care
for family without preparation is
parallel to a physician attempting the
practice of medicine without study.
and with the expectation of gaining
knowledge from experiments on his
patients. We would be Mortified at
the temerity of such a physician. and
yet we complacently leave our girl
without instruction in reference 10
the highest. hottest duty of woman
hood. Under these circumstances can
we wonder that many homes are ao-
solute failures?
One of the first things a girl shoul1
be taught is that wealth and social
position count for nothing unless
united with purity of thought and life
and honesty of purpose. Until such
standards are required by young ,5o-
men in choosing their husbands the
marriage relation cannot be what Cad
intended it to be-the highest type of
earthly happiness.-Sallie JOY White

WHEN ALMSGIVING Is A SIN.
The Manufacturer Who Pays Fair
WAGES is the True Benefactor.

at is no exaggeration to say that
the use of money is test of character
and a revelation of a mans nature"
writes Ian Maclaren in the Ladies'
Home Journal. There are men who
lose money by their foolishness-
Wastrels; there are men who spend
is on their vices-Prodigals there are
men who hoard it with jealousy
Misers; there are men who lay it out
in well-doing-theya are the Wise Men.
When l say well-doing l am not think
ing of that unreasoning and indis-
criminate charity which, whether it
take the form of aims to lazy vaga-
bond or large benefaction for the
creation of paupers, is curse and not
blessing, sin and not duty. We
are not to read in a mechanical fash
ion the advice of our Lord to the
young ruler to sell his possessions and
give to the poor, for though that might
have been the only pledge of sincerity
he could give in that day, it would be
La great calamity in our day. What
ever may have been the case in
ancient times, there can be no ques-
ton that in our day the man who es-
tablishes mandatory in small
town and pays fair wages does ten
times more good than he who wouli
use his wealth to found an aims
house.

Highways.

During the last five years organ.
lied effort has reinforced the public
press to create a general interest in
the work of improving highways.
While the Importance of good roads in
the development and welfare of the
commonwealth is admitted every.
where, the state is indebted to private
enterprise and individual generosity
for the inauguration of practical work
and example in modern, approved
road building. A system which pro-
vides asphalt pavements for pleasure
riding in cities, and supplies little
more than right of way over fire.
quently impossible ground for vehi-
cles used to convey the products of
state to the primary market, cannot
be accepted in evidence of wise or far
sighted economy. Prudent regard for
the taxpayer will suggest great eau
ton in removing the barriers placed
in the constitution against employ
ment OF state powers and resources in
works of internal improvement. IN.
der the existing system of highway
maintenance and control, an enormous
amount of money and labor is expend
ed each year upon the roads of Wis
consin. It is too apparent that much.
IL not most, of this expenditure rs
wholly wasted. Until this available
resource for the betterment of roads
has been brought under a more eco.-
nomic system as result of a com
plete revision of the laws respecting
highways, those who urge for this
work the necessity for greater powers
to the legislature and state officials
through constitutional amendment
must be prepared to explain to the
voter the neglect properly to exercise
the authority and means at hand.

The legislature of 1899 enacted chap
ter 243 of the laws of 1899, designed to
control and somewhat restrict the op-

The principle involved in that enact

Chapter 243, while a step in the right
direction, does not go far enough to
reach AID eradicate the real evil. In

Inspection of Oils.


AN examination of the law regu-
lating the inspection of Illuminating
oils will, believe, make plain the ad-
visibility and necessity of some
amendment to it's provisions. In all
cases where officials are compensated
by a fee system. the legislature is like
ly to be less guarded in preserving a
just relation between service and re-
ward. That in the end the public pays
the bill, when the Office is a fee Office,
is quite likely to be lost sight Of
Whether this be true or not in any
given case. excessive salaries or Of
fetal compensation is demoralizing
to the service, an incentive to polit-
ical corruption, and the occasion of
bias and suspicion in the public mind
prejudicial to good government. From
the last official report of the state in
spector of oils made October %, 1900,
it appears that he received from fees
for the fiscal year ending September
3Oth the sum total of $5,432.72. l un-
derstand that at no time in many
years have the duties of the position
under the existing law been so ardu-
Gus as to interfere with the official

the time, to private business. This

any ground, and should not be permit

tensive use of this product by thous-

dent that there will be no difficulty
whatever in finding a competent and
responsible official to supervise the n
spection of oils at maximum salary
of 81, 500 per year, to be paid as now,
from the fees collected. The principal
duties of the state supervisor of oils
is the supervision of the work of The
deputies, and he should be required
by the terms of the statute to employ
all of his time in the discharge of the

ance of any such fund remaining, al.
