DID THEY VIOLATE THE LAW?
Milwaukee Officials Who Accepted a
Free Ride at the Opening of
Trolley Line.

Racine, Wis, Dec. 5.-City and coun-
ty officials are greatly agtated for fear
they have violated the anti-pass law
and are open to proecution. When
President Frost, of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric railway company,
invited the city and county officers to
attend the opening Of the spur be-
tween Waukegan and Kenosha the So
cialist Democratic alderman refused,
also the county judge, municipal judge
and others, but the majority of the al
dermen and supervisors besides county
officials accepted.
At the Chicano and Northwestern
station each was given free ride to
Kenosha on the new line. 1t is alleged
this is a clear violation of chaprter4S3
laws of 1905. The penalty is from one
to five years in prison or fine of from
5000 to $1,000

Miles and Roads In Erin,

Irish miles are longer than American
miles-in fact, eleven of them make
. fourteen Of such as are measured in
this country. American travellers soon
find this out, and if they are disposed
to complain of the character of Irish
roads they learn that the Irish think
it unreasonable Of the stranger to ex-
pect both quality and quantity. To
one such grumbler the answer was, IF
the quality is infarior, we give you
plinty of it, anyhow" To another visit
or who complained of the narrowness
OF the road the retort was, ''Well, what
We lose in the breadth We gain in the
length

PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF A WEEK
State Items Received from Various
Sources for the Benefit of
Our Readers.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 5.-Governor
Robert LaFollette appeared before
the joint body of the Wisconsin iegis-
lature called in extraordinary session
and personally read his message The
governor was cordially received. A
large crowd gathered, including num-
Der OF students of the university and
many Madison men and women as
we'll as nearly all of the state officers
and employees. Governor LaFollette
read his message from a printed copy
After reading his message to the
/ legislature, Governor LaFollette made
statement that he would accept the
United States senatorship to which he
was elected by the Legislature at the
last session. Governor LaFollettes
resignation will take effect during the
present special session of the state
legislature or at end of the session.
Points in the Message.
The governors message is lengthy
document and contains over forty
pages Of closely printed matter. The
first subject that he touches upon is
the rebuilding of the capitol. The
law passed by the last legislature has
been found to be somewhat indefinite
and he recommends that it be revised
so that the commission appointed hy
the legislature may proceed with the
rebuilding of the capitol unhampered.
-Four recommendations are made in
the message regarding the revision Of
the railroad rate commission law.
Regarding railroad taxes, the gov
ernor says that 81, 800. 80 in rail-
road taxes are now due the state the
payment Of which has been held up
by litigation.
Regarding the tax commission he
calls attention to defects in the statute
in determining the valuation of the
general property of the state and rec
Ommends additions to the law which
will give the commission additional
powers to carry on it's work
Primary Election Law.
The governor pays considerable at
tention to the primary election law and
points out that the strongest point that
can be made by the opposition to this
enactment is the fact that a candidate
may be nominated under the present
law by less than a majority vote. He
suggests amending the law
The investigation Of public service
corporations and insurance companies
is one Of the most important features
Of the message. He takes the rail-
roads to task for maintaining what he
calls expensive Hobbies and for re-
sisting the prompt payment of taxes.
The governor recommends that the
law enacted by the last legislature Gre
ating a grain and warehouse commits
sion for Wisconsin, and providing for
licensing and regulating warehouses
and elevators and for the storage,
weighing and inspection of grain, be
carefully considered and such amend
ments thereto enacted as will make
the legislative intent clear, and afford
a remedy for evils complained of.

THERE'S 100000 MISSING
Polish Building Society at milwaukee,
Is Short That Much Through
Its Secretary.

Milwaukee Dec "A condition far
more sensational than was at first in
Dictated has been discovered in the af-
fairs of the Skarb Polski Mutual
Building society, of Milwaukee, of
which Frank Heller, who has disap-
peared, was secretary. The shortage is
found to be about 100000 instead Of
$4,000; moreover it is announced that
the relatives of Heller will not make
good his defalcation, as was reported
some days ago.
Also he apparently took $4,000 with
him at the time he left Milwaukee. 1t
is said that he obtained at least two
mortgages from relatives, one for ST.
900 and one for $1,000, which he de-
posted as assets to satisfy the bank
examiner that his affairs were in good
order, and was afterward released.

Alone at Carist.,,-.

Ii in this age of organizations innu-
merable there is room for one more, it
is for an organization which would
bring together, especially on Christmas,
those who are alone in the world par
ticularly women, says the Ladies'
Home Journal Many of us who have
our kin closest to us on Christmas day
do not stop to realize what our feelings
would be if they We're not with us. 1t
is so hard to imagine ourselves in DO
sition other than the one we are in.
We remember some poor family at
Christmas, but at least it is a family,
1t is together. The one is company for
the other even in poverty. We remem-
Der the sick, and God blesses those who
do. Would that some of us might cast
a look around and give a thought to

BELFOUR RULE ENDS
British Political Crisis Reaches Its
Climax and a New Cabi-
net Is Next.

London, Dec. 5.-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom reached q eli
max when Arthur j. Balfour, the pre-
mier, formally rendered the resigna-
tons of himself and the members of
his cabinet to King Edward, who ac-
cepted them. His majesty has invited
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to an
interview, when he will offer him the
mission of forming a new cabinet. Sir
Henry will accept the task, and with
in few dayS-eyen within a few
hours a new government will be
formed. A brief official announcement
was made that the cabinet had re-
signed, that the king had accepted the
designations of his ministers, and that
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma had
been sent for.
An interesting feature of the politi-
cal situation is the prospect of a closer
alliance between the Irish and the la
Dor parties in the new parliament. Jas.
Keir Hardie, the Socialist and indie
pendent member, IN political speech
frankly invited such an alliance

When Christine Nilsson, the great

equaled.

CLAIMS ISLAND FOR STATE
Storm at Superior Cuts Off End of
Minnesota Point.

Minnesota Point.
Superior, Wis, Dec. 5.-During the
storm Of Nov. % the lake washed a
new entrance through Minnesota point
to the bay and now the contention is
made by Colonel Hiram Hayes, of this
city, that the slice of land cut off by
the new entry belongs to the state of
Wisconsin. Colonel Hayes is an au-
thority Oh the subject.
Several years ago the question was
raised and the government decided
that the mouth of the st. Louis liver
was the boundary line between Wis
cOnsin and Minnesota and the mouth
of the river was held to be the natur-
al or Superior entry to the bay, thus
giving nearly the whole point to Min
nesota. When the Duluth canal was
built the subject was again brought
up and thrashed over, but without
change being made.
The action Of the storm in making
a natural entry has caused Colonel
Hayes to bring up the question again
and he will claim the island" as part
Of the state and that it should be in
the corporate limits of the city OF SUI

-Eoreshadowed as to Prominent Issues
by Williams Bills.

Washington, Dec. 5. - Williams Of
Mississippi, the leader of the minority

bills and joint resolutions affecting the
tariff and campaign contributions.
These contemplate free trade with the

1Stled with revision to the extent in.
Dictated, but from his standpoint il was
merely the first step in the right di-
rection and an invitation to the Re-
publican party to declare good inten-
tiols. Williams also introduced a bill
to authorize the imposition of an in
come tax.
Another bill by Williams forbidS any
common carrier or transportation agen-
cy of any sort, including express COM

lecting for the same or of doing Of any
other act as agent of the seller neces-
sary to complete OR perfect the sale.

tons were introduced in the house.

The two essential instincts of hui

love Of kindness. By the love of order
the moral energy is to deal with the

to deal with all rebellions or dissolute

moral energy is to deal rightly with all
