The members of the House of
Representatives are again agitating
the question of increasing their salary
from SIS, 900 to 81, 500 per annum.
There is no doubt, but that there are
several m embers in the House, whose
services are worth even more than
ST, 500 per annum, and it is equally
true, that at least -tenUhs OF the
members are now receiving a con-
founded sight more than they earn or
could earn outside of POLITICAL life.
Then, there is another view of the
matter-if they are not satisfied with
the salary paid, they can remain at
home, for they cannot be forced to
go and there are others who would
willingly take up the burden at the
rate of SIS. 600 per annum and be more
than satisfied.

There is considerable activity just
at present, and it will grow more SO
until the Legislature convenes, upon
the part of four gentlemen who desire
to preside over the deliberations of
the assembly. There is Leroy of
Marinette, who was one of the active
members during the last session,
Ekern of Trempealeau county who has
already served three terms; Esterbrook
of Milwaukee, who has had legislative
experience and been encouragement
OF the states and Bancroft of RIchland
county who had little or no experience.
Each member of the qusrtette no
doubt would make satisfactory pre-
siding officer, but the honor is liable
to be given Leroy, who is exceed
ingly popular with his friends and
legislative associates-but should the
members desire calm, impartial and
safe speaker, they will tell G. E.
Esterbrook to take the gravel.

There is tempest in a teapot be-
cause President Roosevelt ordered the
the honorable discharge of three batal-
lions of the Twenty fourth regiment
of colored infantry because of their
disgracefuI behavior last summer at
Brownsville, Texas, in "shooting up
the town. and raising Cam general
ly. The President Was amply justi-
fled in doing as he did, and had they
been white instead of black nothing
would have been said and a few
jumping jack politicians in the senate
would not have endeavored to make
capital OUT of the incident. There
must be discipline in the army whether
the enlisted men be white CIR black
and when the conduct of either in
GividUally or collectively savors Of
trea sen they should be fired from the
army they have disgraced by their
conduct. And then, the army is to
preserve order and not to destroy
peace by overt act like murder and
robbery.

full performance of the conditions and
such a contract can be made if it is
left to honest men to make it. The
people have everything to gain and
nothing to lose for it would require
just as many men to do the work as
are employed now and with the reduc-
tion of the cost of postage there would
be a great gain. The question should
be considered and agitated until our
representatives shall understand that
something must be done.

The election of United States sena-
tors by popular vote is again receiv-
ing attention, a convention of repre-
sentatives from several states being
held last week at Des Moines, Iowa.
There is no valid reason why the
people should not elect their repre-
sentatives in the upper branch of con-
gress, except the constitution which
provides how they shall be chosen.
The constitutional can be amended
however by two thirds of the states
favoring an amendment providing for
election by popular vote, which would
be the quickest and most satisfactory
way to make the desired change. A
constitutional conv ention would delay
the matter and probably result in a
failure. Let Congress adopt consti-
tutional amendment and submit it to
the legislature of the several states
and the alacrity by which it would be
adopted by the respective legislature
would surprise the members of the
senate and cause many of them heart
failure.

JAPANESE SITUATION.

War talk is coming up again over
the Japanese situation. Most Of 1t
comes from abroad where foreign
powers profess to think that the
United States stands in very serious
position with Japan. Secretary Met
calf, who has come back from the
Pacific Coast, has made private
report to the President on the San
Francisco school situation, and while
he is no saying very much for pub
LEGATION, it is not believed that he
takes the situation very much to
heart. His investigation in San
Francisco shower very conclusively
that it will be impossible for the
Federal government to force any meas
ure on the people of the coast which
they are not willing to accept. He
has told the President this much
frankly and he has pointed out, more
over, that it would not take much
federal interference to shove the state
out Of the Republican column. Poll
tically speaking therefore, federal
interference will be rather tlcklish
proposition. It is impossible to
imagine Japan going to var over any
hing so TRIBAL as the exclusion of her
children from the white schools. This
is not the sort of provocation out of
which wars are made. Further, Japan
has had recent and thorough eXper-
fence of just what war means, and
while her showing against Russia was
undoubtedly surprising and put her
in line as first-class power, it is
not thought that she would want to
pull on another fight while her mater
iaI and financial resources were still
so seriously strained.

Already, sumo of the weekly papers
in the state are actively engaged in
creating a sentiment in favor of doing
away with the county board of super
visors and substituting three or five
commissioners, the same to be elected
from districts. There is no question
but that the county boards are un-
wieldly and expensive and that three
or five practical business men could
transact the business of the county
more expeditiously and economically,
but the change will not be made for
quite awhile yet, as there are too many
men in each township who wish some
day. to be member of the board
the same as there are men in each
assembly, senatorial and congressional
district who think they are the best
men living for representatives.

A fifty million dollar syndicate is
proposing to present a proposition to
congress to undertake the handling of
the mail matter from beginning to
end and to cut the present rates ex-
actly in two. The plan involves the
extension of the service so as to make
far more efficient than at present
and to practically make it quick SER
vice express business by which the
merchants Of any town where there
are rural routes can compete with the
mail order houses of the great cities.
In addition to cutting the rates in two
the company proposes to stop the usual
deficit and ply the government all the
surplus over and above seven per
cent on the capital stock actually in
vested. 1t is also proposed to
the pay the government a good rental
for the Offices now owned and TO buy
all the appliances on hand so there
would be no loss on this account. But
here comes the point that will stop it
when the congressman set at it, it is
proposed that the dead head graft shall
be stopped and the government shall
pay postage the same as the people. 1t
has been figured out time and again
that the annual deficit is caused by
the abuse of the franking privilege
now enjoyed by the officials and before
the statesmen will be deprived of this
great, privilege they will do whole
lot of scheming to deceive the people
and try to make them believe that
they would never get satisfactory SER
vice in any other way than the pres
ent system. If this plan were adopted
it would take out of politics the most
potent agency of political schemers to
get into conrgess. There is certainly
every reason why the honest people
should favor the adoption of the
proposition providing the company
would make contra that could
be so guarded as to insure the faith
