All these facts only show what
powerful influence little things may
of moments and the character of each
moment depends upon the influences
of that moment; and it requires but
a very small influence to change the
character of moment.
Love shows itself in our willingness
to do little or big things that will
please our loved ones. A man may
not care for violets, but he shows his
love for his wife il he will for her
sake go down on his knees in the grass
and gather a bunch just for her. He
may not care to go to church, but if
his wife and children want him to go,
he could show his love for them by
going with them. He may think
that they ought to know he loves them
dearly, because every day of mis- life
he is working for them
But his love is not all that it might
be until it leads him to do the things
that are especially pleasing to his
family. Numerous cares, deep
thought. an absorbing life work, a
crowded day, free no man from the
duty of showing mis- love at home in
ways which are wholly of his wife's
or his children choosing.
The ,,,o, n,hp rn,n 1oi inc pf tho nSa-
less demands his family makes upon
him had better right about face and
ask himself how much he is doing to
make such loving claims seem no
longer like demands.
The Fourth of July is rapidly be
coming day to be dreaded rather
than enjoyed. The Fourth oy July
means the death of hundreds of child
ren by explosives of different kinds.
The daily papers on the fifth of July
never fail to contain column after col
um of death notices from toy pistols,
fire crackers and various kinds of ex-
plosives In New England the grow
ing disgust that day which should be
hallowed by patriotic memories should
be degraded into a day marked by the
killing and manning of hundreds if
not thousands of children and into a
day of torture for the sick and nervous
and of dread and anxiety for the
strong and we'll. The hospitals of the
large cities on the Fourth of July are
filled with youngsters of all ages, cut
and burned, with their hands torn to
shreds and their sight destroyed or in
iured, and the death due to lockjaw
alone would, if we were not calloused
| by custom, cause such an outcry that
those who sell or parents who put into
the hands of their children the deadly
toys would be held up to general exc
Grafton. That there is no exaggera
tion in this statement of the case is
borue ont by the newspapers of the
morning following the Fourth in
every city in the country. Among the
sick and unwell, or those who are in
the least nervous the constant din and
the sudden ear splitting explosions
cause a degree of misery that in itself
would Justify the suppressions of all
explosives even if they were entirely
innocuous to those that handle them
and to surrounding property. No one
has the right to subject others to tor
ture merly to amuse himself. To
bring children up deliberately to dis
regard the comforts and we'll being of
others is to tea ch license, not liberty.

to liberty.

Modern living is complex affair,
greatly in contrast with the simple
modes of life of the earlier Americans
and of their immediate descendants.
All the appliances which have been
invented-notably during the past
generation-to give heightened com
fort to the home, and to make labor
easier have added to this complexity
of living. and most materially to its
cost. How materially. one would
hardly believe until he had studied the
matter for himself and discovered
beyond a question that today man
cannot support wife and bring up
one child, living in a comforting and
not at all lavish manner. upon what
his ancestors would have considered
sufficient to rear large family. He
cannot do it on what it cost his ances
tors of only two generations ago. As
men and women are educated and
taught to think for themselves, they
will no longer follow blindly the lead
of the so-called fashionable bell
wethers, but will recognize the charm
of independent modes of thought and
life, and will permit themselves to live
according to their own ideals and in
their own ways. They will see the
folly of attempting to initiate the
methods of the millionaire on the in
come of the average business or pro-
fessional man, but will live their own
lives, happy in doing the things which
they really care to do, instead of the
things which they do just because
some body else does them.
How fretful we sometimes feel when
we are hungry! A baked potato will
produce such change in US that we
hardly know ourselves. The toothache
ha. been known to transform in half
| an hour a saint into sinner. How
quickly will music calm an angry
child
"The trifies of our daily lives,
The common things scarce worth
recall,
Whereof no visible trace survives,
These are the mainsprings. after all.
Destiny is not without thee. but
within,
Thyself must make thyself.

TIE LEGISLATIVE OReASIzArros

The news pages Of the CENSOR and
our splendid Madison letter tell so fully
of the legislative organizatio and doings
of last week, that it leaves little for edi-
torial mention or comment. It is sig.
niieant and suspicious, however, that
the friends of the state administration
organized both houses, giving promise
and encouragement to the belief that
the promises contained in the late re-
publican state platform will be enacted
into law Ii is the first time in a decade
that committees of the senate have
been controlled by those unwilling to
permit corporation. domination in their
makeup. Administration men were in
com .e control, but treated every sen.
ator and interest with utmost fairness.
This organization feature is q good
omen.
In the committee assignments Sena-
tor Munson Jared well, being placed on
four important places He is chairman
on state affairs, one of tine really impor-
tant and desirable committees; third
member on railroads, second on bank
ing and insurance and second on joint
committee on printing. In patronage
he has tHo places, one Of which win be
given to Vernon unity students at the
university and the other to a Richland
county constituent.
In the assembly Mr. Dahl secured the
appointment Of Chas. FL. Collins OF Vic
tory, to the nice and remunerative posi-
ton of first assistant sergeant Of that
body. While the committees of the as.
sembIy have not yet been announced by
Speaker Lenroot, it is very certain that
Mr.. Dahl will head the important com
mittee on assessment and collection Of
taxes, if he consents to accept, which is
probable.
For the proceedings of organization
and the governors message, we call at
tention to the news, on inside pages Of
today's paper.

A STRONG srArR pApep

The third annual message Of Cover
nor La Toilette presented to the legis-
lature last Thursday, Is every where con
ceded to be one Of the most clear cut
and straightforward state papers issued
By any executive in the aigterhood Of
states. IL deals in live issues, ia direcs
and comprehensive. It is just such a
state paper as every believer il and ad-
herent Of the governor expected. Bar
ring its grgas length, there is no. Ing to
be criticised or apologized FIR By the
rank and file The CENSOR can give
only about one.fourth Of the message,
or about eight columns, whereas it COW
ers over thirty columns.
o. the much discussed railroad ques-
tons the message is most direct and
strong. If the governor has left I'M
touched any phazs on that score it win
take the shrewdest Of the paid lobby
force to discover the omission. Ga this
the document is unanswere bic, and it
was that section Of the long message
that received greatest attention and ap.
plause as the governor read it before the
joint legislative session and a packed
chamber Of spectators.
The important recommendation
That street railways pay taxes on the
al valc-~m basis
That q state civil sayyioa .f,--,,,,isss.,r,
be appointed and that all clerical posi-
tions in state, counties and cities be
placed under 3 civil service, a}J persons

THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.

By the threats made for some weeks,
it was no surprise to those in authority
when they were served with legal pro-
ceedings on part Of ten leading rail
road companies Of the state, resisting
the collection Of tax assessment as placed
upon them by the state tax commission,
in compliance with the new law, which
taxes railroads on their properties the
same as Gny other interests and indi-
viduals. 1t was believed they would
not submit to this plan of equity with
out taking the matter to the highest
courts Of the state and country And it
is well for them and their stalwart CO.
horts that their true position was not
fully understood previous to the last
election.
The new law increases the taxes Of
railroads in Wisconsin from $t,5ts, $40 =
81 to g. 494, 2S2 81. Under the old law
a license fee based on total earnings peg
mile, was imposed. The constitutional
lty OF the new law is attacked on several
grounds by these corporations, the prin.
cipal one being that it is alleged to vic.
late the constitutional provision requiE-
ing all taxation to be uniform, setting
up that street railway and other corpor-
ations, esps cially Of municipal charac-
ter, are taxed on license basic. and
therefore the tax is not uniform But
this resistance was to be expected, for
it has been the policy Of these corpora
tioL interests for the past quarter Of q
century to carry their points by threats
of dragging things into the courts II is
high time the people know whether shey
are supremeor these their public-servioe
servants are the masters
