WHAT WILL BE DONEf
There is speculation throughout the
state to know what will be done with ref
erence to restoring the capitol There Is
a well.developed movement for new
state house throughout, while lust as
iudicious people believe that much of
the present building can he used and
the destroyed sections restored. Cover.
nor La Toilette has not yet determined
whether an extra session of the legisla
lature is necessary to decide the
proper course to be pursued. In the
meantime Milwaukee and other cities
campaigns for removal of the seat of
government to their towns.
THE GOVERNORS STATEMENT.
Gov. La Toilette gave out the follow
ing statement respecting the capitol fire
and the extent of the damage;
The entire building below the first
story, that is, the basement and founda-
tion of the building, with the exception
of two small pieces Of ceiling, is un-
damaged.
The outer walls of the first story are
not damaged to the extent Of seriously
affecting or impairing their strength.
The second-story walls Of the south
/ wing are not damaged. The woodwork
and portions of the floor are destroyed.
The walls above the second-story OF
the south wing and the walls above the
first story of the east and vest wings are
damaged to the extent that their further
use would be inadvisable.
The center dome and its foundation
are undamaged structurally, that is, ex.
cept as to paint, glass and woodwork, OF
which there was very little of the latter,
The entire north wing is not damaged,
excepting as to broken windows and
| stained walls and ceilings.
The cost of the north and south ex'
tensions or wings was, as | remember,
| $3.50, 600. There is as much in material
and labor in these two wings as in al
the rest of the capitol, excepting the
dome ana lb5 support. Ine loss IN uAlll
age to the building from the fire is about
$500, 000 The statements are based up
on an examination by competent expert

last Saturday morning, that will cost
the people close to half-million dollars
to restore the great state house.
STARTS AT O'CLOCK.
About o'clock Saturday morning
fire broke out in the south end of the
capitol. But little is known of its ori-
gin, but it was first noticed in the toilet
room attached to the Assembly chamber
on the second floor. 1t is supposed to
have caught from gas jet.
FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY.
The flames, at 6:15 a. m, bad COM

fire was placed under control through
the combined efforts of she Madison fire
department and a detachment of two
engines from the Milwaukee depart

it still smouldered
RECORDS NEARLY ALL SAFE.
While the capitol itself was damaged
to the extent of about 100000, accord

chitects, the loss is confined almost en-
tirely to the building. Almost all the
records have been preserved Some were
removed from the building before the
fire had spread to all departments Most

! FIE BURNING OF
NEGROES IN GEORGIA
Continued from First page.

we may give, any suggestion we
may offer, must take the form of
friendship, of sympathy, and of
earnest desire to help rather
than condemn.
Suppose that in some big city
of the north there should come
series of crimes, all committed
by negroes. Suppose that one
young girl after another were
murdered, after being horribly
maltreated. Suppose children
we're butchered and burned.
Suppose.that the usband, going
to the rescue of his wife, were
knocked on the head like dog.
Then suppose that the whites in
that northern section lived sur
rounded by millions of negroes
and filled with a constant dread
of worse outbreaks. Is it quite
certain that the northern con-
munity would be calm and judi
cal and always listen to the voice
of law?
The worst thing about these
burnings, these illegal killings,
whether they take place in the
north or the south, is the dread
full effects upon the minds of the
lynchers misunderstanding
upon the children.
1t has taken thousands of years
for men to rise from utter savag-
cry to comparative civization.
1t takes but very few years-or
ouly few weeks-for the civiliz-
ed veneer to come off-for the
man to become a savage once
more.
A great crime is committed
against the state when the MUIR
derer butchers his victim. But
a greater crime is committed
when the civilizing work and in
fluence of years are destroyed
through the murder committed
by the mob.
The problem of the south is
very great one, and the northern
attitude should be one of sus-
pended judgement and sympa-
thetic cooperation.
There is no power that will
hold back savage human hatred
n the face of certain provocatiop,
and harsh criticism will hold it
back least of all. How did our
revolutionary ancestors, whom
we call heroes, treat the Indians,
whose savagery filled them with
anxiety? They hunted and
murdered them like wolves or
weasels. And have you for.
gotten the mobs of our noble.
early times, capable of enjoying

Let us remember our own
crimes, our draft riots, our race
