TOWN LAW OF 1901.


Attorney General Miller has received so
many letters from township trustees and
others as to his construction of the town
law of 1901 that he has sent out the follow
ing letter explaining its provisions:
Under the law of 1901, a person elected
to the office of town trustee was elected
for a term of two years, and, under that
law, the terms of some members of the
board were expiring in one year and others
the next year. The law of 1901 providing
for biennial elections was passed for the
purpose OF preventing elections being held
every year, but did not In any way inter-
fere with the term of any person elected to
the Office OF town trustee; so that
"A person elected 10 the office of town
trustee i'm 1900 would be entitled to hold his
office until 1902 although his successor
would be elected in 1901. but such successor
should not have taken his office until 1892.
"A person elected trustee In 1901, to sue
coed trustee elected In 1899. would take his
office at once.
"a person elected in 1908 to succeed a
trustee who took his office in 1901 would
take his office at once, but A person elected
in 1908 to succeed trustee who was elected
in 1901, but who did not take his office un-
til 1902 and whose term would not expire
until 1904. would not be entitled to take his
Office until May, 1904.

HISTORIC CHARACTER.
Governor Scoheld's Cow Has Gone
the Way of All Flesh.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
Former Governor Scofield's cow is dead.
The gentle, modest creature expired at
Oconto, cut off in her prime by apoplexy.
Apoplexy, suggesting the prosperity and
dignity of untold quantities of bran mash,
proves the luxury of her later life, de-
served luxury that must alleviate the grief
of the people of Wisconsin over her sad
demise.
This unassuming animal should live in
history as the Joan of Arc Of cowdom. For
centuries before the debut of the Scoheld
COW feminine members of the bovine tribe
had been proverbially indolent They had
come Gown through the ages, monoto-
nously chewing the cud of reflection. They
had degenerated into mere milk repositories.
when an enterprising wolf obtained the sit
uation of wet nurse.
When Major scofield's pride. a knock
kneed, timber 5ointed calf, first mooed for
milk she gave little promise of great
achievement. AS she browsed over the
green pasturage Of Wisconsin she said MOTH
ing and made no acquaintance save with
a milk pail and an occasional harbed wire
fence. At last the house of Scofield sprang
into prominence. Then the Scofield cow
hitched her wagon to the Scofield star and
set out to show the world what a deter
mined and intellectual cow can do. She
was bound to jump over the moon In some
way udder.
When Mr. Schofield was elected Governor
the cow got herself shipped to Madison. and
10, her fortune was made. 1t was alleged
that she rode on an express frank and that,
therefore, the Governor would favor the
railroads, the corporations, the express COM
panies and other public utilities appertain-
ing to cows The issue fell fiat. Once the
sympathetic voters had gaZed into the cows
honest, impossible face they reelected the
Governor by large majority. Thus an OBJ
scure, anonymous cow made her mark in
politics.
Since her example set the bovine world
afiame with ambition there have been many
progressive cows, but none has equaled
Oconto's Joan. Through lack of foresight
or ill-advised haste they have accomplished
nothing more noteworthy than getting in
front of express trains, catching foot and
mouth disease dixie ordinary politicians,
or eating prize turnip crops by mistake.
Major Scofield's celebrated animal must go
the way of all cows. In a few months she
will have lost her identity in soap, gelatine,
hide boots and horn hair pins. Even in
death she shall perpetuate her lifelong pol
icy of serving the public to the best Of her
ability.
One small male calf survives. If tickle
heredity plays pranks he may turn out a
black sheep. Therefore, ii is Major ScO-
fields duty to the people Of Wisconsin in
general, and 20 the orphan bullock i'm par
ticular, TO remind the youngster daily of
the good milk his mother used to give; to
teach him that even If he can never be a
cow he may yet become a fixed star in a
milky way.
