punishment "the eight prominent citi-
ZEN who "whitecapped' Il man and
woman for immoral conduct, shooting
the man severely, perhaps fatally, and
hogging the oma within an inch of
her life. The %eloquence and soulful
senator would be quick to %denounce
lynching in the south. Suppose he has
justice meted out to the lynchers OF
Greensburg and Owen county. The
Indianapolis News, high Republican,
authority, says that the prosecutor of
Owen county stated that 1.-The man and
woman deserved a whipping, but the
shooting is deplored." Senator Bev-
eridge might turn the torrent of his
%eloquence on to that prosecutor for an
hour or two to teach him what a pros |
ecutor is elected for.
Strange to relate, when the wife of
the wounded man and his paramour
sent to the neighbors for help no one
came to their relief. Served him
right" was the answer sent back.
The senator would do we'll to read a
few excerpts from the sayings of Jesus
to that neighborhood. They certainly |
are in great need of such 4 lesson as
the Saviour taught when he directed |
he uiltless one of q bowling mob to
"cast the first stone" and, no one ap.
pearing to do the casting on the pre-
scribed condition, he ordered the fe-
male derelict, Go and sin no more"
With that passage for a text Brother |
Beveridge ought to be able to move |
the hearts of these cruel Hoosiers to |
tenderness and pity.
Speaking of this transaction in Owen |
county, Ind, the indianapolis News
says:
1t is hard to believe that there are eight |
men In Indiana who would be guilty Of
the crime of invading a mans house at
night, shooting him and then almost
%strangling him. And when these same |
men brutally whipped a woman-no mat |
ter Who or what she was-the outrage is
unspeakable. Think OF the cowardliness
Of it-eight men against one woman II
these people had violated the law, 1t would
have been an easy matter to get the
courts to act. But no ofense of which
they could have been guilty-whether
against the law or against the moral
sense of the community-could have justi-
fed this midnight shooting and whipping.

culprits. They set themselves against the
law, de1ed the state of Indiana and
brought shame on all our people.
Three or four years ago In the town in
which the State University of Indiana is
located and quite near to that institution
a number of leading citizens" disguised
in white caps and masks, set upon and
nercilessly logged a woman with barbed
wire. No one was punished because the
people of the vicinage were so cowardly
that they were dominated by towards.
Not many years ago in another Indiana
county four or five men were put to death
by white cappers not because Of GRIM
inal outrages, but because they were re-
garded as undesirable neighbors. Local
sympathy or fear, or both. prevented
their punishment. The constitutional re-
quirement that a person accused of crime
must have the right to be tried in the ju-
dicial district in which the alleged crime
occurred may be wise and wholesome, but
it has been the shield of a great number
OF villainous men, the worst of the crimi-
nal elements of society.

NaturaIizina Japs.

District Judge Swayne Of Florida,
who was some years ago impeached
by the house of representatives, but
who escaped conviction in the senate,
has brought himself into the limelight
once more by granting naturalization
papers to a Jap with the outlandish
name Of Tancamatsu Matsuki, or. the
idiotic theory that because congress
specifically excluded Chinese and did
not specifically exclude Japs it meant
to admit the latter to citizenship. For
tunately the case goes to the supreme
court of the United States. Any judge
who strains the law to naturalize a
Jap is al enemy Of his country and his
kind.
One paper flies at it's masthead CHS
legend: "Culberson for president. Car
mack for vice president" The country
might go further and fare worse, but
perhaps Carmack would insist on re-
versing the legend. Colonel Bryan has
not passed judgment or sentence on
that ticket yet, and folks are hereby
advised gratis not to hold their breath
till he Endorses it or any other in which
his OWL name does not, like Abou Ben
Adhem's, lead all the rest" In this
presidential business, as in religion,
many are called, but few are chosen
very few.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison Resolutions regulating
open market borrowing, and barring
trust companies from membership,
furnished material for warm discus
sion at the thirteenth annual conven-
ton of the Wisconsin Bankers asso-
citation, at Milwaukee. 1t was stated
at the session that not bank depos-
itor had lost a dollar through bank
troubles in Wisconsin in three years
and not a bank had failed since 1905.
Secretary J. H. Puelicher read his
report which showed that at the close
of the year 1906 the association had
366 members. The present membership
is 416 Wisconsin banks and SO outside
it's borders. Treasurer E. F. Williams,
of Delevan, in his report showed that
the years receipts had been $4,6S4.42
and the expenses $2,402.57, leaving a
balance on hand of $2,281.85. The
following officers were elected for the
year 1908: President, John J. Sher-
man, of Appleton vice president, K.
G. Zimmerman, Wausau; secretary,
J. H. Puelicher, Milwaukee; treasurer,
Frank Pierce, Durand. The conven-
ton then adjourned. The selection of
the next meeting place is left to the
executive council.

Former Senator e. E. Stevens, of Osh-

Prominent in Northern Part
of the State.

Oshkosh-Former State Senator e.
e. Stevens, of this city, is dead. He
passed away after months of suffering,
his life hanging by a thread for many
weeks. He was taken i'll with pneu-
monia last fall. He recovered and got
out, only to suffer an acute attack Of
Bright's disease, from which he raj
lied several times, though never to
leave his house. Mr.. Stevens was a
native of Maine and was Sc years of
age. His family came to Oshkosh
in 1852. He served as mayor of the
city in 1889-1890, and was elected to
the state senate to serve out the unex-
pired term of Christian Sarau, who
was killed by street car as he was
leading a Knights of Pythias process
sion in 1904. Mr.. Stevens followed the
profession of architect and contractor,
numerous public buildings in Oshkosh
and the NORTHERN part Of the state
being built by him. He had been
prominent in Masonic circles. The
two city parks were purchased during
his incumbency as mayor and largely
because of his personal initiative.

Will Push Bill Next Session.

There is some comment over the
failure of the referendum bill, to sub
nit city ordinances to vote of the
people on petition, to become a law.
The bill was vetoed by the governor
on the ground that it only required a
ten per cent. petition to submit any
law. The governor said he was not
opposed to the referendum idea but
believed it should be restricted to GER
tain subjects, probably having in
mind the granting of franchises.
Friends of the bill will bring the
measure before the legislature at the
next session and the measure will
then be drawn on the lines suggested
by the governor. Certain subjects
will be designated to be submitted to
the people and the ten per cent. petit
ton may be raised to Is per cent. AS
semblyman Elver, of Madison, was in
favor of the passage Of the bill and
had the two-cent measure been vetoed
he would have tried to get call of
the house to put the members of both
houses on record in an attempt to
pass it over the veto of the executive.

Insurance Companies Calm Dow

Insurance Companies Calm Down.
1t is now believed that the large
life insurance companies that had been
threatening to withdraw from Wiscon-
sin because of the new insurance leg
islation, will remain in consequence of
an amendment made near the end of
the session. The feature to which
they objected most strenuously was
the bill limiting the expense charge
permitted in premiums. The amend
ment was introduced at the instance
of the Northwestern Mutual Life, and
the statement, 1.-THE amount provided
for expenses and contingencies for
any policy year." added las a measure
for fire and subsequent years shall
not exceed <" The companies
claim that without this amendment
the law was either confusing or open
to serious abuses. The new measures
limit premiums to the net premium
produced by the mortality table and
interest assumed by the company, plus
a loading equivalent in present value
to 33 1-3 per cent. of the net single
life premium by the American eXpe-
rience table at three per cent, which
may be distributed over different
policy years. Expenses for new bust
ness are limited to the provisions
therefor in the first year premiums,
aside from medical examination, but
including part of the home Office ex-
penses. For all business the expenses
are limited to the aggregate provision
for expenses, except as mortality saw
ings cover medical and other expenses.

face who had been out in the smoking
room working faithfully on one of
those pajama panatella cigars that
bite you on the finger if you show the
least sign of fear.
Just then the train stopped for a
few minutes and we were put wise
to the fact that it was an incurable
case of bride and groom.
"Ohl Boozey is back to his

Boozey opened bunch of grins and

"Sweetie mustn't be angry with
Petite, but Sweetie is sitting on Petie's

grab for his breath.
A Dutch brewer and his wife sat

puncher would turn around and beam
benignly over the gold rims at the
bride.

dow and began to eat scenery.
Dalrymple was almost out; Tod was
under the seat sparring Tor wind;
Slim was giving an imitation of a
coalbarge in a heavy sea, and the
rest of the passengers were in various
stages from hiccoughs to commissions.
