to pay $4,000 each to r. M. Bashforu
and John Barnes at attorneys for
Secretary Of State Houser in the Wis
consin republican factional litigation,
they being the administration lawyers
who won the case against the stat
warts, was faVorably reported today
by the senate committee on judiciary.
Senators Whitehead, Wipperman,
Kreutzer and Wilcox dissented and
the dissent was also announced OF
Senators North and Merton. The op-
position Of Senators Wipperman ana
Wilcox, administration members,
makes the chances OF the bill LOOK
dubius. The committee also reported
a new bill appropriating to Senator
Roehr $4,000 as attorney for Insurance
Commissioner Host in the suit againsl
the Equitable Life Assurance society
for the division of the surplus. The
same senators Gissented. The several
capitol removal bills, to take the

Hudson and Belmont, were again laio
over They were on the calendar for

ducing and limiting the time for which
the county supervisors OF assessment

conditioned upon size of county.

had more trouble over agreeing on
the rate commission bill and that
measure seems now more doubtful

much opposition to it from publishers,

Madison, Wis, April 2S.-After ex-
tended debate the assembly advanced
to third reading and engrossment the
telephone bill requiring competing
systems and companies to make ply
steal connections for the benefit of
each others subscribers. The measure
was strenuously opposed by the Bell
telephone company. Two important
dam bills were introduced into the
assembly providing for the extinguish-
ment OF all water power grants that
have been authorized but not develop
ed and maintained and for the taxing
OF such state franchised water powers
as are maintained and used. The bills
were advocated by Governor La Fol

Japanese Surgery.

Sir Frederick Treves, the eminent British surgeon who for several years was attached to the staff of the royal household. but has now retired, is quoted as paying a high tribute to the Japanese surgeons. T am conf dent that We shall find in Japan, not many years hence. one Of the most re- rnarkable schools of surgery the world has ever seen," he says. "The Japan csc have infinite patience and tender ness-a tenderer and more sympa- thetic people do not exist.
 And then comes one very impor- tant factor in the making Of surgeon the Japanese have no nervous sys- tenn. Nerves as we know it, is an un- transferable term in Japanese. They are initiative, they are exquisitely- even pedantically-clean nothing can excel their delicacy of touch; and they have a curious reverence for ritual, which is important in the making of a surgeon. Nothing in Japan astonished us more than the manner in which the native practitioners have absorbed into their own science the medicine and surgery of this side of the world. Take only one branch-medical equipment in time of war. Many problems which have been the terrors of European armies the Japanese have solved. Eu- ropean armies eDter upon war with many determinations; one is to have 10 per cent of sick. They get it. The Japanese are quite content with 1 per cent of sick, and they have achieved their ambition. I hope we on this side of the world may be able to in1i- tate it."

Tidiness of Speech.

In blaming the public schools and the newspapers for 'slovenly and un- tidy speech" perhaps MT. Henry James did not stop to think what would happen to our speech if there were no schools or newspapers.
 The Rochester Democrat and Chron- icle points out that so far as the news papers are concerned they can do no more than spell their words correctly, construct their sentences grammati- cally. and pay some attention to pur- ity. elegance and precision of style. A printed page cannot give object-les- sons in the use of the voice or in right on an American reader the fact that fellow should not be pronounced Heller" nor upon an English reader the fact that ham and eggs" should not be pronounced "'am and heggs."
 The schools can do more along these work is good as far as the teachers are able to make it go. The obstacle is to be found in bad habits acquired out of school. A child naturally uses language as he hears 1t used at home and among his acquaintances. Many of the examples set before him, out side of school, are bad. It is a won der that they are not worse. consid- ering that many of his companions are recruited from a variety of for eign families whose home conversation is either no: English or very bad Eng fish. Our own natives, too, are by no means immaculate, and the result is that the school population is in- fluenced by two standards of speech. one prevailing in the class room and the other on the play ground or pos sibly in the home.
 Ore result is that many a school child, while able to write a correct and credltable composition, drops into bad habits while engaged in ordinary conversation. The remedy is for him. or her, to remember the lessons learn ed in school, to apply them, and to observe and initiate the speech of cul- tured people.
 MT. James is entirely right in his remarks on the use of the voice He says ''the value of good breeding is largely tested by the tone, which must be sound, agreeable. neat and consis- tent" and this tone standard is an art to be acquired and cultivated just as much as any of the arts and sciences of life" Many women, giv- ing outward evidences of refinement speak in utter disregard of this prin- ciple. To look upon them is pleasure; to hear their harsh or piercing voices is shock. Yet there is no difficulty in acquiring an easy, smooth and agreeable tone. All that is needed is a very moderate amount of thought fitness and practice. There arc sev. eral elements in what Mir. James calls tidy speaking" They are all within the reach of everybody. They require no special gift or external advantage. and they are worth grasping and mas tering.

Two Loads OF Women

r. Fl. Cavot offered prize Of So in
gold and 81 pair of shoes to the man
bringing to his store the biggest load of
women from any township. So, last
Monday, Warren Gowdv drove in from
Jackson township with forty women on
his wagon 1t was a lively crowd of
women, too They came in singing,
MY! my! amt it cold! What we want
is Cayot's gold
Herb Stanley came in with another
load Of women. hnt he had only halt as
many of Narrcn had, but some OF herbs
crowd came ten miles, and he probably
put in more time and work to get his
crowd together.
As a result. Warren captured the So
and the shoes. He turned the money
over to the WYATT school to be applied
on the purchase of an organ
A photograph was taken of the two
loads OF women, and we intended to
print the picture, but the photograph
was not distinct enough to make good
