Goodness Saves a Hospital.

Fire, which threatened to destroy the
county insane asylum and endangered
the lives of 1877 insane patients, was ex-
tinguished Monday night through the
GOODNESS of Supt. Killam, who directed
the work of the county asylum fire de-
partment so we'll that the flames were
confined to the rear portion of the main
building, and the loss will be less than
$1,000.
The fire broke out in the cooks room
at $50 o'clock and was discovered few
moments later by field hand, who saw
the flames through the windows. The
patients we're at supper and we're mar
shaded into the assembly room, where
they were entertained until all danger
was past.
The hospital was partially destroyed
three years ago by fire which started in
the same room. Since then complete
waterworks have been installed at cost
of $4,000 with hose connection. Guards
and trustees hold weekly fire drills.

Government Rate Making.

President EARRING of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway Company
contributes very interesting article on
government rate making to Harpers
Weekly for May 20. Mr.. Earling has been
for so many years identified with the de-
velopment of Wisconsin industries and
interests that what he has to say upon
this important subject will be received
with special interest throughout shis
state. a.
Mr.. Earling asserts that the limitations
of the Federal Constitution are such
that in exercising the power to fix rail
way rates, Congress would be practically
limited to a distance tariff. He shows
how every State commission which has
been given power to make rates has
either been limited to distance tariff
or has inevitably drifted toward the dis
lance basis in fixing rates. President
Earling says:
"The people OF the United States have
for many years enjoyed the benefit of
scientific effort which has been made by
the traffic officials of the railways to
overcome the effect of distance, and to
place interests which are widely scat
tered as nearly as possible upon the
equality to which resources, ability and
efforts entitle them. Ii the people un-
derstood the impending danger of dis
lance tariff they could not advocate the
destruction of the principle of adjusting
freight rates, which the carriers now fol-
low, and would not permit the substitu-
ton for it of the rigid and unadjustable
system which the constitution would
compel the government to adopt if it un-
dertakes this task Freight rates that
are determined by the surveyors rod,
measured out to the industries of this
country merely by the mile, will not only
completely arrest the commercial devel-
opnent and agricultural growth of the
country but will require such readjust-
ment to untried conditions as cannot fail
to be productive of most serious and
lasting harm to the railways and to the
people,
It is certain that the people of Wis
consin do not want distance tariff. It
is certain that under distance tariff all
the agricultural and Industrial advan-
tages Wisconsin has succeeded in attain
ing would be greatly impaired if not
wholly destroyed II the distance basis
is the only one upon which the govern
ment can fix the rates of freight, then
Wisconsin at least is much better off
with rates adjusted to her necessities by
the railways than the would be subject
to the geographical disadvantages of dis

THE legislature has at last passed a
rate bill, the senate adopting the COM
mittee bill by unanimous vote. While
the law has but slight semolance to the
measure first passed by the assembly as
the administration measure, the gov
ernor is said to be satisfied and it will
stand. Disappointment will doubtless
occur if the law does not cure all the ills
complained of from the railroads. and it
will not But the people demanded reg
ulation of the public carriers and now

j. E. HEG, former editor of the Lake
Geneva Herald, had narrow escape
from being one of the passengers on the
train which was destroyed by dynamite
explosion and fire one day last week. He
had his tickets in his pocket and only
waited to see his daughter, who was re-
cunning from visit by boat to New
York. But heavy fog delayed the boat
four hours and Mr.. Heg lost his train,
but doubtless saved his life by waiting.

I'm Tired of Government Service.
From The cablenews Manila PL

FROM ne OapleneNS, Manila, r. l.
Government service is the grave of
ambition, is the statement often made
by government employees, or that govern
ment service is the worst service young
man can enter. 1t is said that a man be-
comes mere machine, loses his originality,
and, in few years, becomes incapable of
work in other lines. so that once in gov
eminent harness means in it for life, in
most cases.
Said a young man eff thirty, a govern
ment employee for several years, to young
man Of nineteen allured by the glamor of
a government position. Don do it. If
YOU can earn three dollars week outside
with firm which will advance you as you
prove worthy, don't enter the government
service. Look at me- At your age
was thought to have unusually good bust
ness ability. At thirty m earning $500,
but | We lost my ability. If were to be
TUNED out tomorrow | could not earn fifty
dollars month, because I'm petrifed.
| M good for nothing but the routine work
The boys who entered business when |
entered the government service are now
presidents of big corporations on S25, 900
salaries. Their health is better. They
are vigorous, able to grapple with biz ques-
tons. They enjoy life While | am half
sick, interested in nothing. The work is
easy and the pay comes regularly, but the
deadly routine kills a man spirit.
There Is a tendency for each man to
derry his own work and to think his life
has al the hard things aud some other
profession all the easy and desirable ones.
The lawyer advises his son to take any
profession save the law, the loctor assures
his boy that a doctor profession is the
hardest one of all, aud we agree with him
Yet there seems to be more justice in the
complaint Of the government employee.
Government service does tend TO make a
man mere machine Ii l. 4 singular fact
that most Improvements IN government
methods are made hy the new men Il i
