Care of Children.

OF all of the actions directly affecting
the future welfare of the State taken by
the Legislature in many sessions passed
there has been none that will doubtless
rebound to the larger benefit Of the state
and its citizens than the Il gislation en-
acted at this session touching upon the
welfare of the common schools and af-
fording greater protection and care TO
the children BY its actions relative TO
compulsory education. 10 the labor Of
children and in providing a liberal fund
for the care of and the extension Of the
public schools the Legis. azure a this
session haa safeguarded me interests Of
the coming generation to a greater de-
gree then ut any time i'll the past.
Not alone in the matter of the com
mon schools has the Legislature accom-
plished much. but it has dealt literally
with the institutions for higher learning,
Irrespective Of whether or not this be
wise and desirable education, because Of
the feeling that the more extensive the
courses at the State University the more
expensive, in equal ratio, the securing
of that education. Behind this is the fear
that the university may be unintention-
ally lifted beyond the reach of the poor
mans children.
The volume Of legislation accomplish
ed just about equals that of the session
of 1901. Then 476 chapters were enact
ed. This year the number will fall about
ten short, but the quality is far in add
vance.

~ A sallow complexion, dizziness,
biliousness and a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
give immediate warning by pain,
but liver aid kidney troubles,
though less painful at the start, are !
much harder to cure. Thedford's s
Biack-Draught never fails to bene-
fit diseased liver and weakened kid

to throw off the germs of fever and I

inforced by Thedford's Black

WORK OF THE SESSION
WHAT THE 4eTH LEGISLATURE
HAS DONE.
New Epoch in Wisconsin History Is
Marked-State Is Pioneer in Legisla-
tion Relating TO Credits Amount of
Apnropriations.
Madison correspondence

Madison correspondence:
The forty-ninih session of the Wiscon-
sin Legislature came to an end at noon
Saturday. 1t has been one marked by
many events; it has been notable in many
respects. Ia many ways more was ex-
pected Of i than of any session for years
past. In some respects the eXpectancies
have been met, but the record Of achieve
ments falls far shol of the anticipa-
tious INDUCED in at the commencement.
New Epoch in states History.
The session has marked d new epoch
in The history of the STATE, one likely 10
BE- r.loed in the future in other States.
1t has begun the operation of pioneer
legislation in this State and to u certain
extent has become the pioneer of the
States in Il discussion which Is certain
to command great attention in the flu
ture. This is particularly true so far as
the exemption of credits is concerned.
Through the report of the tax commits
sion and by the debates in the Legisla-
ture, particularly in the Senate, WIS
consin has given greater recognition to
this new field of legislation than any 9th
er State and there is little debit that 1t
has given IN impetus to credit exemption
which can never be checked until the
question has been infinitely threshed and
a more satisfactory solution reached re-
specting the taxation of this class Of
personal property than now obtains, or
has obtained heretofore.
The Legislature ut this sessio" has
taken gigantic strides into new avenues
looking toward complete revision Of ex-
listing methods Of taXations Of corpora.
tons, particularly railroad companies
While checked in the endeayor to read
just the existing freight tariffs, it has
fomented Il movement that will not end
until, least, something has been ac-
complished in securing to the State a
greater supervision Of the public service
and quasi public corporations. 1t has
done much toward the settlement of the
problem of direct nominations by the
people by placing the ultimate settlement
of that question with the people them
selves

go to their country homes.
Everywhere In the great ballroom

disappeared and the one or two mir
