B. II. Meyer, Halford Erickson,
and John Barnes are to be the state
railroad commissioners. Governor
LaFollette first named Nils p. Haugen
as one OF the number; but 1t was soon
learned that the senators would re-
fuse TO confirm him; and SO, John
Barnes was named in his stead. AS n
member OF the tax commissions Mr.
Haugen has had experience which his
friends claim especially qualities him
for the work which the rate makers
will have In hand. But generally
where the tax commission has divided
In opinion he has taken an unacadem'
demic and unreas onable position; and
so, the change to Mr.. Barnes may be
very fortunate.

FOR A TIDY TOWN.

The country is beautiful Try to
make the towns beautiful too. Put In
little work setting Mineral Point to
rights. Residents Of other towns are
working along the same line. The
following from the Sank County
Democrat suggests what they are
doing In Baraboo:
Beautiful Baraboo can be made
still more beautiful If all residents
will take sufficient interest to give
their properties neat and tidy
appearance. Let II be said TO the
credit OF majority OF our citizens
that they keep their houses well paint
ed, their lawns trim and their back
yards tidy, but there Is n chance for
further Improvement among those who
are n bit thoughtless. AS n matter Of
civic pride, Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Cheek
offer S45 in cash prizes to residents
who are inclined TO keep things look
ing neat and tidy about their houses. !"

Simply Astounding

Madison Democrat: II is reported
that "more than 400 saloons will
probably have to discontinue business
in Milwaukee in 1908 rs the result of
the anti-saloon bill just passed by the
legislature prohibiting the issuance of
licenses to saloons within 200 feet of u
public or parochtal school after that
time, II objected To 10y majority of
the parents or guardians of the pu-

whole city should have. There is
nothing like 400 groceries or 400 meat
shops, or 400 drygoods establish

the entire town. 1t is simply astound-

County School Boards

should not wait until fall to elect
teachers. II you desire good school
go at 1t in business like way Get
together early and decide what you
can pay, then select the best teachers
possible at an early date and make
contracts. Better still, offer the
teacher good yearly contract. The
best teachers are employed first and
at longer periods than poor teachers.
A poor school at any price is really
worse than worthless, for the districts
money is gone and pupils have lost
time forever. But good school is
without price. Most men and women
can look back and pick out one teach
er who did them more good than all
the others put together. Such teach
ers have no market value. Get one if
you can. -Richland Observer.

have been more blessed than

whether the ticket nominated
will be opposed by the Democrats
or not, tho a very large major

elected Mr.. L. B. Brown, chair

his company had decided that it
would be better to make a prelim:

gineer, who would report upon
the practicability and advisability
of constructing the road f r O m
Burgin to Harrodsburg, thence to
