WILL ATTACK LAW
Fight to be Made on the New
Civil Service Law of
Wisconsin
THE LEADERS ARE ALARMED

The attack upon the new Wisconsin
civil service law has assumed seri-
BUSINESS that is alarming the friends
Of the merit system in this state.
Commissioner of Banking Bergh,
under cover of resisting the applica-
ton of the law to his department,
has raised four questions of constitu-
tionality, any one of which if upheld
by the supreme court before which
the litigation is pending, will knock
out the law and set aside all that has
been accomplished under it.
The complainant alleges that the
law interferes with constitutional
duties of the secretary of state as
auditor because it requires the COM
mission to certify to the state pay roll
and places penalty upon the secre-
tary of state if he audits bill for
services unless the voucher is first
approved by the civil service comn1is-
sion. The commission will answer
and say that this is merely a certifca-
ton that the person is on the pay roll
of the state in accordance with law
and is not an interference with the
constitutional duties of the secretary
Of state.
The attackers of the law allege that
it seeks to take away from constitu-
tional officers the power of appoint
ment of assistants and clerks, but the
commission replies that it is not un-
constitutional for the legislature to
take from officials, even if they are
created by the constitution, the power
of appointment when such power was
conferred by statute ard not by the
constitution.
The claim is also made that the law
interferes with the political liberties
of persons in the employ of the state,
but the commission replies that it only
protects employees from campaign
taxes and from the demand of supe-
riors for the performance of political
work as payment for appointing them
on the state pay roll.
The claim is also made that the civil
service law is unconstitutional for
the reason that it is a delegation of
Legislative power upon a commission.
Upon the determination of these
four controverted questions by the
Supreme court rests the fate of the
merit system in Wisconsin. Members
of the commission declare that the
suit is covert attack upon the law
by politicians who regret to see state
patronage pass from their hands.

ADVERTISING.
One of the Many Marvels of This
Progressive Age.

Progressive Age.
Among the many marvels of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art of advertising as develop
ed in modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the photograph, about the aston
ishing expansion of railroads and teleg-
raphy, but here we have an industry
as remarkable for its extension and as
wide and varied in its applications as
anything of mans device in any era Of
the worlds history. When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount of money expended in adver-
Using in our day, the novel and in
genius methods employed and the ex-
pert skill and artistic talent engaged In
the business, one may begin to realize
what wide field has been opened here
for some of the highest and most use
full forms of human endeavor
With all it's abuses-and they are not
a few-it remains true that advertising
is one of the greatest of popular edu-
Gators and one of the chief promoters
of human happiness and prosperity,
and there are yet many ways in which
it may be extended to the still greater
benefit of the world. No good reason
exists why the churches, the Sunday
schools, the missionary societies and
other agencies of good should not ad-
vertise far more than they do and thus
add to the membership and their power
in the community. To set their adj
vantages, aims and benefits before the
public in a proper way and form would
involve no loss of dignity or prestige,
while it would almost certainly widen
their influence.
The time must come, too, when the
absurd code which prohibits physicians
and other professional classes from ad-
vertising themselves must be abolished
There Is nothing but q sentiment to
prevent it and a very weak sentiment
at that 1t should be no more mira
dig for physician or lawyer to seek
patients or clients through the medium
Of print than 1t is for teachers, insur-
ance men, real estate dealers or the
members of any other honorable trade
or calling.-Leslie's Weekly.

LIFE ON EASY STREET.
It Is an Ideal Place and Worth STRIVE
Ing For.

1T Is an Ideal Place and Worth Strive
Ing For.
There are more strong limbed, clear
headed, brave hearted people living on
Easy street than anywhere else in this
broad land, and their prime condition
is the natural consequence of living
there, for, although you may not have
thought of it, there is close relation
ship existing between good health and
the consciousness of getting on well in
life You can see this for yourself IL
you will note how strong man droops,
like a frost nipped flower, who by some
mistake loses his position, his posses.
sions or the esteem of his fellows, one
or ALL Shylock made hard bargain
with a borrower, and in bis effort to
foreclose the bond lost his cash and
won the contempt and scorn of all men.
Mental disturbance followed, including
physical i'll being, and, staggering away
from the judges bench and clutching
at the air, he cried, II am not we'll"
But you need not go back so far to get
an Illustration.
And on the other hand you can see
by observing for yourself how the gain,
or even the anticipated gain. of a home
on Easy street will make sick man
well, quicken dying hopes into life and
change the water Of sorrow into the
wine of joy. Recent literature has re.
minded us how happy turn In the
tide of the affairs Of Josiah Wedgwood,
afterward to become the worlds great
pioneer pottery artist and inventor,
raised him from an invalid's couch and
started him upon the road to affluence
and distinction among England's in
dustrial princes. Similarly Mary Woll-
stonecraft, afterward the mother Of the
poet Shelley's wife, Ill from neglect and
discouraged by hardshlps, was, by the
success of her modest ventures In lit
erature, heartened to undertake her
great life work, which soon yielded her
handsome royalty.
Read the story of Angelina, who
lives on East street and has no desire
to move and lose her clear headedness
and her health. She was engaged to
be married to Allan. He was a clerk
receiving $12 per week, and she earned
$S5 month teaching school After
few years Angelina explained her con-
tinued spinsterhood by saying that she
had given Allan time to develop into
a larger money getter, and he had not
done it, so she decided against the ad-
visibility Of exchanging an $50
month position for $50 a month hus-
band. 1t is quite true that when pov-
erty comes in at the door love flies out
Of the window, but 1t Is not because
the Angelinas are without sentiment.
1t is because love cannot feed on in
competency and thrives best on Easy
street.
So the Importance of everything that
will aid any one to get on In the world
is established on sure foundation
the testimony of facts. We do not ex-,
alt mere money getting above those
qualities of head and heart which
make life worth living. but rather en-
phasize the honorable getting of it as
a conserver of them. And hence the
wisdom of living on Easy street-Cent

AN APPEAL.
To the Citizens of Brownsville to Clean
up Their Premises and Vacant Lots,
and Kill the Mosquitoes.

As city health officer I feel II my
duty to again call attention of the
public to the importance of begin
ming at once to put and keep their
premises in as sanitary a condition
as possible. This can be done by
having a general cleaning up of all
trash and weeds on the place and
burning same, and, above all, drain
all cesspools. In short, have no
water about the place which is not
thoroughly protected from the
mosquito by screens or oil. As all
intelligent people now know that
it has been thoroughly proven that
yellow fever, malaria and many
other diseases are transmitted by
the mosquito, the presence of the
mosquito larvae On ones premises
should be made a public nuisance
and punished by fine. There
should at once be a general war
waged against all mosquitoes, and
as there is nothing easier to kill,
why should we be constantly tor
mented bV-Such a pest. though he
be not an infected bird.
I therefore urge the drainage of
all places calculated to afford larval
development Of the mosquito, and
if drainage if inpracticable, treat
them once a week with oil and
destroy ali possible places for mos
quito development. If we will all
begin at once to do this, and con-
tinue in the work during the sum-
mer months, you will be surprised
to see how soon we can sleep COM
fortably without bar, and without
any fear of the dreaded yellow fever
or malaria.
My request, I am sure, will
meet with the approval of our
honorable mayer, and I know he
will gladly give you all the assist
ance possible. Don't depend on
the city alone to do this work, but
do your part and rest assured the
city will do hers.
I now leave the subject for your
consideration, and hope you will
at once declare war against our
little enemies, aud continue to fight
them until not a mosquito can be
found in Brownsville.

County and CITY Physician.
