choosing this city for it's place of
assembly. The Wisconsin Press
Association is about to "follow
suit. The gathering of editors
and publishers will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
March 4th, 9Th and 9th, at the
rooms of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in
the University building, which
are inneighborly vicinity of those
of the Milwaukee Press Club.
The program will be largely his
torical in character, as is suitable
to the occasion.
Wisconsin's progress in the
half century since the organiza-
ton of the Wisconsin Press As
ISOLATION is a theme that may
well arouse enthusiasm on the
part of the newspaper men as
signed to discuss it. The popu-
lation of the state, as ascer tanned
by the federal census of 1850,
was 305, 566-t that is to say, there
were,then in all the broad do
main of Badgerdom only as
many people as there are in Mil
waukee today. The distribution
was very different from what it
is now, the two most densely
populated being Milwaukee with
81, 119 inhabitants, and Rock with
30,717, while competing for the
third place was Washington
county, with 1916, Waukesha,
with 10, 1874 and Dodge with 49,
140. Ninety thousand people
poured into the state within the
three years from 1847 to. 1850,
and the population of Wisconsin
had increased at a greater ratio
than that of any other state of
the Union at any time since the
adoption of the federal constitu-
ton.
The number of daily and week
newspapers in the state was SO,
there being no dailies outside of
Madison, Milwaukee and Racine.
Six of the Wisconsin newspapers
were printed in the German IAN
guage and one in the Norwegian,
SO that the number of English
newspapers in the state was 80.
Of the editors of that day only
two are still identified with the
newspapers of which they were
then in charge-Samuel Ryan
with the Appleton Crescent and
William E. Gamer with tie
Evening Wisconsin.
The population of Wisconsin is
now in excess of two millions.
There are more periodical publ
cations in Milwaukee in 1903
than there were in the whole
state of Wisconsin in 1853. The
summary of the press Of Wiscon-
sin compiled for the astissue of
the state Blue Book contained
the names of $50 newspapers and
periodicals, of which IS we're
dailies and $50 waeklies. OF the
whole number, 615 were printed
in the English language, 81 in
German, z in Polish and Tin Nor
wegian, while there were also
publications in Swedish, Bohe-
milan, Dutch and Danish. There
have since been additions to the
list, but of these exact statistics
are not at hand. M

THERE is good deal If dis
cussion as to whatthe legislature
will do in relation TO the taxation
Of railroad property. So far as
the people are concerned they do
not care very much what system
of taxation is adopted, but they
do feel that the railroads are
paying too small tax, and they
want these great corporate in
terests raised a notch, so that
they will pay somewhere near
what other interests are being
obliged to contribute, in pro
portion to what they have got,
for the support of public in
situations.

structed the architects and
decorators to restore the White
House to it's original design, and
criticism of such restoration is
as logical as would be the COM

cation of alleged decorations, the
manifestation of the taste, or
lack of taste, of various presi-
dents and their wives, it adds
still more to the comfort and
convenience of the mansion and
of the guests at the numerous
entertainments of which it is the
scene. The Office building is
comfortable, convenient and un-
obtrusive and answers every
purpose for which it was built.
OUR newspaper friend over at
Iron River in discussing the
Municipal Court matter winds up
with regards Judge Warden and
THE TIMES with the perioration:
s'It may be hard for some people
to understand why we will not
believe either of them until
proof as TO what they say is true
is submitted. !" After that what
would be the use of either Of the
''liars" in question trying to con-
vince the editor of the Pioneer?
THE TINES made eighteen
specific charges against the
Municipal Court Of Washburn
which stillremain unchallenged,
and nearly any one Of those
charges if admitted to be true is
sufficient reason why the adj
ministration Of this Court should
be changed. The Pioneer fails
to discuss any of these PROPOSE
tionS.
DELAWARE has finally elected
two Senators, and after a fight
extending over fifteen years the
state now finally has full repre-
sentation. A compromise was
arranged between the Addicks
and anti-Addicks republicans,
whereby the senate elected a
senator and the Assembly one,
Addicks having withdrawn from
the race. The new Senators are
Senator Alice for the long term,
and Congressman Ball for the
short term. The Republican
National Committee had a repre-
sentative at Dover helping to set
tie the difficulty. Addicks says
that he is still in Delaware poll
tics, and that he will bea candi-
date for the next term.

serves notice on those who don t
like his paper that they have
been rather hasty in their judg-
ment and says they should have
waited at least until the paper
was printed. All of which cannot
be denied, and the chances are
that should the Free Press be
antagonized that someone
will find out that it's editor is a
patriot and an Irishman. THE
TINES wishes the new venture
unlimited success.

When Old solem had read his chapter

While Harrison slept, dreaming per-

from the pleasant dream and told their

but something was gone wrong. She
could not know that Mile had asked
to be taken home, claiming the sun

The following afternoon when the
president came to see TEX Mile was
there before him: his ring was on her
finger and she was explaining that the
name of It was diamond" and that
It was worth several hundred dollars.

since you were here, and that's why
you came" To keep the desire under
her will she pushed her chair toward
Mile and ran away to bring another,
but not so far that she did not hear
Miles voice cooing: TEX is a good
girl but so impulsive," and then with
a little sigh, but one could not expect
much else, brought up as she's been in
this uncivilized country without any
advantages" TEX was amazed Millie
was no longer a little girl, she was a
young lady, species of being of which
TEX had no knowledge She vaguely
wondered if some time she might wake
up and find herself transformed like
that--hopng she might not. In the
world she had filled with her thought
people there were none like Millie; her
young women were princesses with
large natures and generous hearts.
When she returned to the yard carrying
the chair. which she had been slow to
do, the president stood with his hat in
his hand. Millie stood facing him, look
ing down and marking circles on the
ground with the toe of her shoe. She
looked UP as TEX came out and ceased
to make the circles. "Mr. Nevil is go
ing to take me home on his horse; the
sun is so hot" TEX glanced at the
lengthening shade Of the house and felt
her shoulders hitch into a shrug; a fear
came upon her that she was turning
into something like Millie. curious
ache was in her heart as she watched
them ride away. Millie screeched with
fright the minute the horse started. 90

that "the president, sitting behind the
saddle, naturally had to put his arm
around her waist to quiet her fear. The
sweet, beautiful something was slipping
out of Tek's life; mechanically she went
to Elizabeth, who sat gazing out Of the
window and dropping on the floor be-
side her hid her face in her mothers
lap. Elizabeth put her hand on Tek's
head and patted her hair. repeating
softly: "Tek-a-me, Tek-a-me." TEX
lifted her face eagerly. but already the
hand had dropped Iistlessly, and Eliza
beth's eyes were gazing far into the
unseeable where minds go.

strange and sweet had slipped into her
life. A slight cough startled them both;
he dropped her hand, but gave 1t a
quick pressure as his fingers let go. 1t
was MilIie who stood before them. TEX
glanced up at her, then stared, too sur
prised to speak Was it Mile? Her
fair hair was done up high on the back
of her head: her sleeves were ruff1ed
tucked TO the elbows, showing her bare
shapely arms: her dress skirt was
heightened to the ground. She carried
a silk fringed parasol- a relic OF her
mothers Eastern flnery. All unmind-
full of the stare, she smiled: Good
afternoon, TEX: you've not been over
for several davs. I was afraid your
mother might "a got worse and thought
I'd come and see II 1 could be of any
use. Why, Mr.. Nevil, did not expect
to see you again" She extended the
TIPS Of her fingers. which he took and
bowed over, expressing his pleasure at
seeing her again. TEX had desire to
slap her other cheek and say, What a

Mile put her head near Tek's that the

not hear, and said something In low

that moment-the sun dropped out Of
her heaven.

Miss Brown could only shake her head
and led the fearful mother into her
room, where the fire was blazing mer-

It was Christmas eve. The jingle Of
sleigh bells could be heard over the
snow and the winter moon cast a halo
OF soft beauty over the surrounding
landscape. The two women had been

out before the service was over to at
tend to some church affairs. Mrs. Kem-

glorious "Adeste Fideles' In praise OF

eyes wandered over it's old columns and
arches, his attention was drawn TO the
occasional Of the vested chOristers.
The sweet perfume Of incense filed
the air. and his heart filed with emo

gaze The choir slowly moved down

slowly to the chancel steps. The les

back to him and instinctively he knelt
in prayer.
AS he arose his eyes fell upon the
kneeIing woman. He gave a quick
start and as If impelled by some un-

raised her eyes and as Jack Kemble's
looked down into hers he knew that

the strong arms OF her son she waa
