SOCIALISTS STRANGELY WRONG.

1
SO far as our Wisconsin socialists
go they are on the wrong side of
about every practical question. At
least such is the record Of their rep
resentatives in the legislature. With
in day or two we have seen them de-
claring for the parcels post, than
which no more pernicious institution
exists in relation to the welfare of
our villages and small cities. With Il
parcels post the mail-order houses Of
| Chicago and the other great CONNER
cial centers become we'll nigh supreme
| in trade. The home merchant is
driven out of business, local trade
disappears, the great city grows still
greater, slums become SUMMER, chinl
labor muftiplies, vice augments and
every form of evil is magnified. For
this our socialists have eIoquently ie-
clared on the floor of The. assembly
To them also the saloon is the poor
mans club, "a cruel, sickening fal
lacy,-and it should be maintained.
they contend, till something better
can be substituted! No theory is
more preposterous, more misleading,
more mischievous. The saloon is not
a club. 1t is place where money is
wasted and worse than wasted, where
poverty is bred, misery inaugurated,
the conditions begOt which make hell
of home. And that is the socialists
poor mans club"
women workers out of the trades. -
lat least here we have seen them in
the Wisconsin legislature struggling
for the enactment of a law forUlG-
ding women to work at night "a
stores, shops, factories, telephone eX-
changes and hundred other places
where now they find pure, pleasant
and profitable occupation The
women have wanted no such r.
suictive legislation. They have not
asked for it. Indeed, they have
viewed with terror the possibilities
of a law which would drive many to
the kitchen and back into other call
ings less congenial and less remuner-
alive,
And now we find these same social
lists all aligned in favor of the folly
of a constitutional convention for
which there is not a shadow of good
reason why it should be called. SUCH
a convention, however. would afford
opportunity to emboss upon the
fundamental law all manner of SO
cia1iStic theories. would make ii nos
sible to enlarge all debt limits AMI
thus increase the burdens of the tax
payers; would open the door to revc1-
luton of all the established law OF
the commonwealth and would-the
mere convention itself-entail an ex-
pepse probably of 100000 or $500
600. Yet it is the particular thing
just now which looms large in So
cialistic aspirations.
Thus far happily the legislature has
viewed with merited suspicion the pc
measures and innovations of these
reckless, radical reformers, and there
is no reason to anticipate that to the
end the same sane, safe and conserya-
tive course will not be pursued. Only
a relative few sound democrats and
scarcely more republicans have beel
led astray by this little group II

vait or employee. The provisions are
not to apply to persons employed in
shops or offices.
In every action to recover damages
the court shall submit to the jury first
the question of whether the employe
vas guilty of contributory negligence,
and if the question on contributor
negligence is answered in the aff1rma-
tive the court shall be required to
submit tn following question:
WAS the negligence of the party
injured Tor killed. slighter or greater
as q. contributory cause to such in
jury Cor DEATH than the negligence
or carelessness of such company or
any other officer, agent, servant or
employee thereof, other than the one
so injurd Cor killed."
ContributOry negligence, according
to such law would not be the com
plete defense it was at common law
in personal injury actions.
The assembly decided that it would
be inexpedient to teach practical poll
tics" in the public schools any more
than they are taught at the present
time, when it voted to indefinitely
postpone the Grassie resolution. \
long debate preceded the voting, and
a desperate effort was made to save
the resolution, but the assembly re
fused to postpone action for week,
and then refused to rerefer it to the
committee on education, and finally
voted by safe majority to indef-
nitely postpone. The committee on
public health recommended for con-
currence the senate bill which is de-
signd to regulate sanitary conditions
in bakeries and confectioneries. The
penalty for violation is raised from
$50 to 500 and from 80 to 90 days III
Jail. The bureau of labor statistics
is put in charge of the inspection
service and a license is to be issued
by the bakery inspector who acts
under the bureau of labor statistics.
All rooms in bakeries where work is
done must be at least eight feet high.
and no utensils or materials which
ere unclean may be used. Twenty
three bills were killed.

Madison, April ga protracted
discussion of the merits and efficacy
of vaccination as a preventive OF
smallpox, and incidentally criticism Of
the secretary of the state board OF
health for an ultinatum that If the
legislature did not provide the laws
desired by the board no more efforts
would be made for the confinement
and eradication of smallpox, took
much of the time of the senate, and
the bill under discussion, that of T.
H. Miller for practical compulsory
vaccination, was laid over for amend
ment. Senator Marsh was opposed
to the bill for the reason, as he stated,
that the state ought not to compel
people to submit to surgical opera
ton or specific trea tment when they
had conscientious or other reasons
for opposing it. He said also that this
would keep children out of school IN
necessarily would interfere with the
ton law and would result in the clos
ing of schools for long periods in
cities comprised in one school district
even. when there was no epidemic OF
smallpox, but only one case in the
city. Senators Noble and Froem-
ming favored the bill, demanding that
the few people who do not believe in
vaccination ought to be stopped from
interfering with the efforts of the
state board of health in the eradica-
ton of smallpox.
Ten bills were on the senate calen-
dar for advancement to engrossment
and third reading affecting the bust
ness of life insurance, all results Of
the legislative investigation. They
were in the main uncontroverted. and
were reported by the banks and insur-
ance committee without difference OF
opinion. Senator Fairchild exhibited
a lack of full understanding as to the
bill to forbid one company from writ
ing participating and non participating
business often proved improbable and
such policies were carried at the ex-
pense of the participating business
The bill was ordered to engrossment
Senator Fairchild offered substitute
amendment to the bill to require life
insurance companies to report to the
commissioner of insurance ali con-
tributions made for political purposes
He would prohibit such expenses alto
gether. The bill and substitute were
laid over. The bill to forbid dis
elimination was also laid over but the
others were advanced

bill to appropriate $4,000 for Wis

chairman of the committee on state
affairs, anticipating a strong hostile
movement, Immediately asked to lay
the measure over until Wednesday
so that members could acquaint
themselves with it more thoroughly
The vote showed AZ for postponement
and So against The latter vote
represents those who are in favor OF
killing the bill Immediately. Some
who voted for postponement are also
in favor of slaughter, and there is
every indication that the bill will
meet with defeat when it again comes
up The bill is hard 1t limits the
speed to 10 miles within city or vii
lage limits and 90 outside. Drastic
and Objectionable are the penalties
prescribed for violation of the sec
ton which requires the stopping of a
car when it meets horse whose
driver raises a warning hand The
maximum penalty for this offense is
six months in jail. After shutdown
no car may run at a speed to exceed
ten miles an hour even outside city
limits, two lights in front are re-
quired and one behind and a four-inch
number on each end of machine.
number, but one lamp at either end
and fixes city speed at II miles coun-
try speed at 25. Each pair of mum
bers would cost 50 and. as there are
over 1900 autos in the state. here
alone would be a tax of some $4,000.
All old numbers would have to be cast
aside because an inch too narrow.
Autoists are measurably satisfied with
the present law, but are willing to
have an addition to it which will bear
still more severely upon reckless
drivers whatever the circumstances.
An important new bill introduced in
the assembly was by the com
mittee on elections, providing for non
partisan elections in all cities except
those of the first class. 1t provides
that no nomination paper circulated
for any candidate for a city Office
shall contain any party designation or
principle. Upon receiving 2 per cent
of the electors endorsement for his
candidacy a man may become a can
didate for any office. If large num-
Der of candidates present themselves
| it is possible to secure a primary cleo
,tion upon petition of per cent Of the
electors. The two receiving the high
est number of votes at this primary
become the candidates at the general
election. All candidates for an Office
must meet and determine their posi-
ton on the ballot by lot. The Offices
are arranged as they always are by
the secretary of state. Senator Pages

mended for concurrence, was turned

placing such power in the hands OF
the school board and the assembly
sustained him.
Assemblyman DOmachOWskis anti
cigaret bill came up from the senate
with an amendment and the assembly
concurred iii the amendment. It
provides that the proprietor of an
amusement resort is not responsible
for boys lettering about his place for
the purpose of smoking cigars or
cigarettes when they are accompanied
by parents or guardians.
