Feather Beds COMING Back.

The feather bed, after its Danish

A decision that will do as much as any
law that can be passed to prevent the
shipment of game, was handed down by
the Minnesota supreme court Friday
The decision holds that express com
panies are liable for shipments of game
seized by game wardens. It was the
outcome of suit brought by shipper
to recover the value of game seized by
the wardens. The decision is of more
than ordinary interest in this state as il
will oblige the express companies to ex-
anime closely any package received for
shipment to see if it contains game con
trary to law. II companies know that
they are liable for all game seized by the
wardens they will refuse to receive any
packages offered for shipment contrary
to law.

THE vote by which the railroad rate
commission bill was killed in the assem-
bly, on Thursday night is an illustration
of what may be expected to occur when
ever the industrial and commercial in
terests Of the state bring their strength
to bear in opposition to that of the poll
ticlans. There were representatives from
thirty eight Wisconsin cities in Madison
on Wednesday aud Thursday, but their
real strength was much greater than the
list of names Of those actually present
would Indicate for the business men iL
attendance were empowered to speak
for those who remained at home. In the
light of this explanation is is fair to say
that; the men who appeared in person
to protest against the passage Of the
rate commission bill represented from 80
to IS per cent of the manufacturers and
other business men of the state.
1t is when men who, under ordinary
circumstances, devote their whole time
and their talents to the management
of their business are spurred to interest
in the affairs Of state that the best re-
suits are obtained. And if they do not
busy themselves with public matters
they should not complain if the drift of
politics is in the wrong direction. It is
natural to expect that the politician who
is in office and wishes to remain in Office
will do what he can to create conditions
that will strengthen his hold upon pop
ular favor. So long as conservative bus
mess men are Indifferent or only moder-
ately interested in passing political
events just SO long will the politician
who is gifted by nature or schooled by
art-or both-to play upon the preju-
dices, the passions, or the sel6shness of
the voters have things about his own
