No one who has closely watched

No one who has closely watched
political affairs in Wisconsin the
last few years can avoid the sus-
picion if not the conviction that the
leaders of the present faction in
power have been merely" playing
politics." in other words that they
have been seeking individual adj
vantage under the pretense of de-
voting their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honors to the dear
people. The first great effort in be-
half Of the people was to secure for
them the blessings of a primary
election law. The sober Judgment
of the better class of citizens was
decidedly opposed to the scheme,
and experience is everywhere
justlfying their distrust OF it; but
persistent effort wore out opposi-
ton and the primary principle"
was adopted. Yet the very first op-
portunity to apply it was turned
down by it's sponsors; we refer to
the refusal to allow it to be ap-
piled last fall to the choice for U.
S. senator. 1t was clear case that
Senator Quarles would beat any
other candidate out if a popular
vote should he had, so the primary
election principle was for the time
being put in cold storage. And
now comes the proposition to have
a railroad commission; and the ques-
lion is, shall the governor appoint
or the people ell ect? And the gov
ernor and his obsequious followers
say that the people, who can be en-
trusted to choose judges and state
officials, do not know enough to
choose railroad commissioners;
therefore the commission must be
appointive by the governor and
incidentally become powerful part
of his machine. Indeed it is doubt
full if all the game wardens, oil in
spectors, and factory inspectors and
other willing political servants of
his, whose wages the state pays,
can enable him to exercise the
harmful control over public affairs
which would result from having a
commission of his creation and sub
.ject to his dictation, which could
arbitrarily fix transportion rates.
Ut might be made better than a
gold NINE, and would represent
greater power than czarship.

With spring come the apple
blossoms! Isn't that worth an ex-
clamation point? How they scent
the air and call the bees to buzz
among their petals. They carry a
man back to the time when he was
young and full of green apples!
They transport him to the thoughts
and memories of ''yesteryear" many
years ago! They remind him of a
rosy checked girl who wore her
hair in a braid straight down her
lithesome back! They hint of school
days and schoolmates scattered
to the winds or slumbering in the
peaceful grave with head-stones far
apart! They hint of other things!
Suffice what else! This is enough!
Dream on and on, and don't wake
up until you have to! Dreaming OF
apple blossom time is such sweet
dreaming.

Solemn thoughts come and abide,
even in the springtime with her
flowers and birds and promises.
But when shall spring visit the moulder-
ing urn!
Oh, when shall it dawn on the night of the
grave?"
when shall it dawn on the night
of the grave?" Did Beattie mean a
spring for those who mourn out
side the mound, or for he who
sleeps SO quietly within? If the
former, spring may never come
again as once it did, and yet it's
coming may sanctify and temper
the heart to kindness, faith and
beauty. If the latter, it must come
in the Great Hereafter. The Chris
tian believes in it's coming, the
grandest spring of evolution, a
spring which mocks the grave and
outshines earthly life as the arc
outshines the FREELY. May it be in
deed so.

Disuse of the Whipping Post.

Notwithstanding the advocacy now
and then OF the rehabilitation of the
whipping post, that form of punish
mcnt Is losing rather than gaining
ground in civilized countries. 1t Il now
inflicted IN England and in only 4 few
o. the continental countries OF Europe.
In the United states it is used only in
Delaware and Maryland. And perhaps
it still obtains to some extent III Aus
tra,ia. The punishment is not inflicted
unon women in England, Delaware or
Maryland.
In England there is an increasing re-
luctance on the part Of the judges to
inhict the punishment
4 late return shows that this form OF
punishment was ordered only IN SIX
teen cases in 1903. Seven OF these SEN
fences were passed at the central Grim
inal court five by Judge Eentoul and
two by the common sergeant. 1t is in
teresting to notice That Mr.. Justice
Wills, Mr.. Justice Lawrence and Mr..
Justice Darling are the only three high

Too Good q Chance to Miss.

Senator Dubois of Idaho was practic-
ing once in Boise City and, becoming
too ',chement one day, was fined $50
for contempt OF court. The next day.
according 10 custom followed II the
Idaho curtis, the judge called upon Mr..
Dubois TO occupy the bench for him
during the transaction Of some compar-
atively unimportant business. After
the judges departure from the court
room and before anything else could
come up Mr.. Dubois exhibited an in
stance of that remarkable presence OF
mind for which he has ever been noted.
The future senator said to the clerk OF
the court: Turning to the records of
this court for yesterday. Mr.. Clerk, you
will observe recorded fine of $50
against one Frederick Il. Dubois. You
will kindly make a mole To the effect
that such fine has been RENTED by
order of the court"
