paper undertakes to do more than collect
the news, it becomes intrusive. When it
msrepresents the news. it is disloyal.
When it falls short Of collecting the
news. it is inefficient. The great court
of public opinion. with all the facts be-
fore it, is abundantly able to reach its
own conclusions, and its judgments are
irrevocable and irresistible.
The newspaper that attempts to fore
stall them or control them fails. and
brings discredit upon itself. The news
paper that records them becomes an
effective instrument in enforcing them
The moral of all this is that the news
paper that collects the news assiduously
and publishes it faithfully is performing
function Of the highest Importance to
civilization.

There is no doubt that women who
have a talent for dressmaking have Il
chance this year of rearranging their
gowns of last season very successfully.
Many a gown that has served for a
more dressy purpose is now being cut
TO walking length and made to do
it's duty in another direction. Many
silk skirts can be worn this year vailed
with net or gauZe. and there is much
excellent looking lace. which is not
real, that ut very small expense
would trim up a bodice. The empire
style Of dress lends itself to renOva-
ton. forming an overgown falling in
an unbroken line from the waist to the
foot. Some of the gowns with tight
sleeves. last worn for full morning
dress. can be comfortably adapted for
home dinner wear. the bodice opening
in V form in front and the sleeves
cut half their depth. making elbow
sleeves.
Both plain colors and changeable eff
fects are fashionable for young girls
this spring. and there is no end of
stitching and tucking on waists. coats
and skirts. Foulard silks are as much
worn as ever and the India silks come
both plain and figured. The figured
silks are trimmed with pleatings ana
insertion or medallions Of lace. or with
out any trimmings whatever. save an
Irish-point collar and cuffs. Black vel
Everybody knows that box pleated
skirts are not pleated at all. They are
made of bands. stitched at the edges to
simulate pleats and set on foun1a-
ton Of net or thin silk. which falls
easily over the more substantial under
skirt. The reason for this is clear The
weight of a killed skirt is something
terrific. Care must be taken to select
material sufficiently strong TO carry
the weight of even the stitched bands.

law furnishes no remedy for the poor.
You cannot get into court in the first
place without money. and once you get
in you certainly won't get out with any
money. The lawyer will see to that. but
you'll get justice if you pay enough for it.
There is no commodity that know of
that is regulated so much by what sou
pay for it as justice. don't mean by
justice for a great deal of money, but
You will get very little justice for little
money.
The courts are like a nickel-in-the- slot
machlne--you put your money in and
await results. Suppose poor man gets
his legs cut off by street car. The rich
never get their legs cut off. because they
can afford to wait and let the car get
out of the way. The first thing the poor
man has to do is to hunt up lawyer
who will take his case for one leg or
half a leg. according to agreement. Then
the money is dropped in the slot and the
man sits down to wait.
If he Is lucky his case may come up in
two years. 1t may take three or four.
but | have known instances when it did
not require more than two years. The
case is tried in the Circuit or Superior
Court and, if the plaintiff RECEIVERS the
price of his legs, the matter goes to the
Appellate Court. The function Of that
court is to pass Judgment on what the
other court has done. and the poor mans
ease may be reached in two years. OF
course it will then go to the Supreme
Court. unless the man loses. and it will
take another year there. If everything is

state bank examiner, died at his home
in Prairie du Chen, early on Tuesday
morning, after an illness of several
months from stomach trouble. The
following extract is taken from
sketch of Mr.. Kidd's life, as publish
ed in The Milwaukee Journal;
edward [ Kidd was for a long
time a power in state politics. He
was born in Crawford county, May 10,
1915, at the age of II enlisted in the
Twentyfifth regiment, seeing lots of
service before Vicksbu and in the
march to the sea, besides fighting
Indians at the time of the Sioux
outbreak in MinnesO ta. He first en-
tered the Legislature as an assembly
man in 1881. and was promoted to the
senate in 1884, serving there for eight
years. He was for a long time chair
man Of the joint committee on claims,
and did much valuable work for the
state in that position. When the
Office of state bank examiner was
created it was given to him, and he
held it ever since, getting each legis-
lature to enlarge the scope of his
powers.
"He was thorough business man,
and as q legislator exercised the
powers of his Office without fear or
favor, being veritable watchdog of
the treasury"
In the death Of Mr.. Kidd, Wiscon-
sin loses a good and valuable citizen.
He was a kindly, good man; and as
soldier, legislator and bank examiner,
he ably and faithfully served the
