Some New Laws.

la correspondence from Madison to
the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
George II. Grassio says:
SUPERVISORS or ASSESSMENT.
II the government signs the bill
relating TO the Office OF county super
visor OF assessments, and there Is
every acason TO believe he will, that
official, who has been the butt OF
many harsh jokes during the few
years of his existence, will become n
man OF some consequence In his com
munity, In many counties there was
so much aversion to the position that
the county boards fixed the salary of
the Office ut 30 cents ~ day and pro.
vided by unofficial agreement that he
was not TO work more than two days
a year, one when he took the oath Of
Office and one when he made his
report to the board. Those who OBJ
jected to the Office were satisfied that
the feeling against IL would be SO
strong that the Jaw creating 1t would
be repealed this winter. Instead OF
that, however, the Office has been
greatly strengthened, and the official
will be paid II respectable salary and
work number of days consistent
with the amount OF the assessed valu-
alton of the county, from 100 to $50.

village is twelve miles an hour: out
side the city limits twenty-five miles
an hour: in turning corners, going
around curves, at sharp declines, at
the intersection OF cross roads and
where the view is obstructed, speed
must be reduced to such rate as will
avoid danger. Fines of from $40 to

the law in regard TO registering and

refusing to heed and help the driver

autoist who causes any injury to the
driver of horse shall refuse upon
request to disclose his identity the
fine may be doubled.

TO Regulate Banking.

New York Evening Post: There Is
no more urgent public duty lying
today upon the state than such thor
ough regulation OF our fiduciary In
stltutions as shall give ground for
public confidence. The sensitiveness
OF the public mind, after such episodes
as the Bigelow affair and the Equit'
able quarrel, is quickly exploited by
sensation mongers OF the Lawson type.
Where incompetence and dishonesty
are possible, 1t is not strange that
these professional wreckcrs OF conf
dence should insinuate that the whole
banking structure is rotten; nor Is II
strange that they should find people
to listen TO them. The way to meet
such situation Is to restore the pub
lie department OF supervision to such
u condition of efficiency and honesty
that the public may feel some assnr'
ancc that corporate rottenness Is not
being quietly covered over by state
examiners

THE oLD.FAsmoNED WAY.

Here Is one OF the good editorial
articles daily published In the Mil
waukee journal:
'Mrs. Gaul, u widow OF Bridgcton,
N. j., died the other day, leaving an
estate of $40, 600.
"In the accumulation OF this money,
she did not employ get-rich-qnick
methods. II required thirty'hve years
OF thrift.
"Her S25 900 was made from the
proceeds OF n small candy store. The
store was located near public school
building and her chief patrons were
school children who seldom bought
more than penny's worth OF CANDY
mt any one time.
,'The woman took care Of the PEN
MES, assured that II she ala so the
dollars would take care OF themselves;
IL Is recorded that she lived very well
and invested her surplus from time 10
time In real estate.
"Most persons nowadays would
turn up their noses NJ that sort OF
prospect.
"But IL 10 true that the old.fashioned
virtues OF industry, honesty and econ
omy In business are as valuable III
they ever were.
"There Is no royal road To compet-
ence.
tYou can no more easily get rich
quick than you can get wise quick.
"There IL the way Of speculation, to
be sure, but only very few are
fortunate. That thoroughfare IL thick
ly strewn with wrecks. The chances
OF success are so small as to preclude
n reasonable hope.
'"rhere is the way of monopoly and
special privilege OF rebates and OF
graft, and that Is the way OF the
millionaire. 1t Is tho way Of fcverish
effort and OF atrophied conscience, of
lowering of ideals and nervous pros
tration. 1t is the way OF the robber.
"But--
1.-THE way OF safety, of honesty; of
satisfaction Ia the way OF slow ac-
emulation and OF wise Investment.
I'm these days OF frenzied finance, OF
spasmodlc speculation and dreams OF
sudden wealth, the simple story OF the
way Mrs. Gaul won her competence Is
good thing to print. y

GOVERNMENT RATE MAKING.

The making OF railway rates by the
government seems to be the fashion
now In state aud nation. While the
government should certainly regulate
railway rates and prevent them from
being unjust or unreasonable, the
turning OF the entire rate making
power over to commissions Is an
undertaking fraught with dangers.
One OF these dangers Is suggested In
the following press notices
president Earring OF the Chicago, Nil
waukeo and st. Paul Railway company CON
tributes II very interesting article on govern
mont rate making to llarpers Weekly FOR
May 20, MIR Earring has been for So many
years identified with tho development OF
Wisconsin industries aud interests that what
he has TO say upon this important subject
will he received with special interest
throughout this state.
"Mr. Enrling asserts that the limitations OF
the federal constitution are such that In
exercising the power to fix railway rates
Congress would bo practically llmItod to u
distance tariff, lie shows how every state
commission which has been gIvon power to
make rates has either been limited TO u dis
tance tariff, or has inevitably drittud toward
the distance basis In RNing rates. President
Earllng 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, ant TO place interests
which are widely scattered ms nearly az pos
sible upon the equality to which resources,
ability and efforts ent!tlo thcm. Ii the peu-
pie understood the impending danger OF n
distance tariff they would not advocate tho
destruction OF the principle OF adjusting
freight rates which the carriers now follow,
and would not permit the substitution for Il
OF the rigid and unndlustahle system which
the constitution would compel the govern
ment to adopt II IL undertakes this task
Freight rates that are determined by the
surveyors rod, measured out to the indus
tries merely by the mile. will not only COM
pletely arrest the commercial development
and agricultural growth OF the country but
Will require such reimbursement 10 untrled

can fail to be sensible of unfitness for
so grave role.
Let us be humble II we have much
knowledge, for it only serves to better
show the vastness of the unknown, and
| to compare the little we have dis.
covered for ourselves with the ampli.
/ tude of that which we owe to the pains
| OF others.
And, above all, let us be humble If we
are virtuous, since no one should be
more sensible of his defects than he
whose conscience is illumined, and
since he, more than any one else, should
| feel the need of charity toward evil
doers, even of suffering in their stead.
"And what about the necessary dis
tinctions in life?' some one may ask.

of the difference between men which
must be maintained II society exists

tions and differences but / think that
In his social rank, his occupation, his
dress or his fortune, but solely In him
self. More than any other our own age
has pricked the vain bubble of purely
outward greatness. To be somebody
at present 1t does not suffice to wear
the mantle of an emperor or a royal
crown. What honor Is there In WELD
Ing power through gold lace, coat of
arms or ribbonf Not that visible
signs are to be despised - they have
their meaning and use-but on condi-
ton that they cover something and not
vacuum. The moment they cease to
stand for realities they become useless
and dangerous. The only true distinc-
ton Is superior worth. If you would
have social rank duly respected you
must begin by being worthy of the
rank that is your own; otherwise you
help to bring 1t into hatred and con-
tempt. 1t Is, unhappily, too true that
respect Is diminishing among us, and 1t
certainly Is not from a lack of lines
drawn round those who wish to be re-
spected. The root of the evil is In the
mistaken Idea that high station eI-
empts him who holds 1t from observing
the common obligations of life. AS we
rise we believe that we free ourselves
from the law, forgetting that the spirit
Of obedience and humility should grow
with our possessions and power So 1t
comes about that those who demand
the most homage make the least effort
to merit the homage they demand.
This Is why respect Is diminishing.
The sole distinction necessary Is the
wish to become better. The man who
strives to be better becomes more
humble, more approachable, more
friendly even with those who owe him
allegiance, but as he gains by being
better known he loses nothing in dis
tinction, and he reaps the more respect
In that he has sown the less pride.

THURSDAY, JUNE !, 1905.

The Amigo News Item takes this
hopeful aud sensible view OF coming
political events:
Tariff reform must come 10 the front In
the next presidential campaign, for IL is the
only question in which the public Is vitality
interested. Democrats who believe In that
principle may surely take courage when they
see a Republican president advocating the
time honored principle OF the Democratic
party, and II our party Will act wisely ana
with honesty OF purpose, II IL VIII keep TINS
question and Its correlative issues In the
foreground, we firmly believe that the down
fall OF high protection Is close Mt hand me
trusts must take their feet out OF the trough

1T is certain that the people OF Wisconsin
do not want distance tariff. IL is certain
that under distance tariff all the agricul-
tural and Industrial advantages Wisconsin
has succeeded In attaining would be greatly
impaired II not wholly destroyed. II the
distance basis is the only one upon which
the government can FIX the rates OF freight
then Wisconsin at least is much better of
with rates adjusted to her necessities by the
railways than she would be subject to the
geographical disadvantages OF distance"

CHAPTER XIII.
THE EDUCATION FOR sIMpLI


THE simple life being above all
else the product of a direction
Of mind, 1t Is natural that edu-
4 cation should have much to do
with 1t. In general, but two methods
OF rearing children are practiced. The
first Is to bring them up for ourselves,
the second to bring them up for them
selves.
In the first case the child Is looked
upon ms complement of the PARENTS
he Is part of their property, occupies a
place among their possessions. Some
times this place is the highest, espe-
cially when the parents value the life
of the affections Again, where ma
terial interests rule, the child holds
second, third or even the last place
In any case he is nobody While he
Is young he gravitates round his par
ents, not only by obedience, which is
right, but by the subordination of all
his originality, all his being. AS he
grows older this subordlnation be-
comes veritable confiscation, extend
ing to his ideas, his feelings, every
thing His minority becomes perpet-
ual Instead of slowly evolving into
independence the man advances into
slavery. He is what he Is permitted
to be, what his fathers business, re-
ligious beliefs, political opinions or
aesthetic tastes require him to be. He
will think, speak, act and marry ac-
corling to the understanding and linn
its of the paternal absolutism. This
family tyranny may be exercised by
people with no strength of character
1t Is only necessary for them to be
convinced that good order requires the
child to be the property Of the parents
In default of mental force, they pos
sess themselves of him by other means
ductions. II they cannot fetter him
they snare his feet In traps. But that
he should live in them, through them,
for them, is the only thing admissible
cillous virtue also is detestable. 1t
fosters In man traits and an attitude
provocative of know not what. The
sight OF 1t repels instead Of attracting,
and those whom 1t dcigns to distin-
guish with It's benefits feel rs though
they lad been slapped in the face.
To resume and conclude, 1t is an error
to think that our advantages, what
ever they are, should be put to the
service OF our vanity. Each of them
constitutes for him who enjoys 1t an
| obligation and not reason for vain
glory. Material wealth, power. knowl-
edge, gifts OF the heart and mind, be-
come so much cause for discord when
they serve TO nourish pride. They re-
main benefCent only so long as they
are the source of modesty in those who
possess them.
Let us be humble II we have great
possessions, for that proves that we
are great debtors. All that man has
he owes TO some one, and are we sure
of being able to pay our debts2
Let us be humble II we sit in high
places and hold the fate Of others In
our hands, for no clear sighted man

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, August 20
The reports that Germany and Russia
would close the Baltic sea, indirectly
with the assistance of Sweden and
Denmark, with the object of protect
ing themselves against England, was
at first treated here as subject not
worth mentioning. Suddenly, however,
the supposed project has become
topic of general discussion. The Ger
man suggestion that the Baltic sea
should be converted into mare clau-
sum accessible only to the navies or
the powers whose coasts are washed by
the sea, may therefore be said to fore
shadow new alignment in European
politics. And coming as it does just
at this time when there is trouble be-
tween Norway and Sweden, it presents
some interesting complications.
One reason why the project of treat
ing the Baltic as a closed sea is at
fracting unusual attention is found in
the fact that the British naval visit
to Baltic waters is being considered
sort of counter demonstration to the
recent German visit. Newspapers and
politicians here begin TO regard it as
p political demonstration of the first

LOOK OUT FOR ISLANDERS.

A waterfronter who was recently in
San Francisco says there is a colony
of Hawaiians in the Coast city the
members of which are looking pretty
seedy. They are generally on the watch
for late arrivals from the islands and
seem willing to share whatever of
funds the newcomers are willing to
divide He also states that a large
number of Portuguese who left Homo
lulu are to be found in Oakland, and
are quite anxious to return here.

counterbalance, if not to outweigh, the
impression created by the recent ac-
tivity of German squadrons in the sea
under discussion.
The air of proprietorship with which,
during the past few weeks, the Ger
man navy has been arranging recep-
tions for itself off the Danish and Scan
dinavian coast, has been observed with
somewhat mixed feeling at Copenha-
gen, at Stockholm, and at Christiania-
The imperial meeting in the Gulf of
Finland between the czar and the

impressive the appearance of British

had the news of this cruise on the
part of the English channel fleet be-
come known than the agitation was
started in Berlin by a couple of Chauv-
enist journals.
