II the individual, who wrote the
scurrilous attack on Mr.. Jerome that
appeared in your columns a fortnight
ago, should eve reach the age OF dis
cretion, he will be heartily ashamed
Of himself for having done so; for tits
impossible for people OF sense to disa-
gree with Fielding's definition OF what
constitutes good breeding"
That Mr.. Jerome is a man of good
breeding, no one who knows him at
all well could deny, for a kinder
hearted, ore inofiensive, ulster, hon
ester, mar it would be difficult to find.
He has his peculiarities, to be sure,

vertibly not physically a handsome or
graceful man, but let US remember.

Mr.. Jerome did nOtsay anything worth

centuries, more or less, made by that

to the fact that his idol may be an in

No, Mr.. Jerome let the eminent di-

the ponderous ID. D., with his 265 lbs.
avoirdupois, actually took an hour and
a half to get t mis- subject! And dur
ing that hour and a half he exhibited
more Grass ignorance OF common mat

Bright Young Senator.
A new man who is not defeating the
expectations of his friends in respect
to making stir in the legislature is
Senator Henry Lockney, Of Wau-
kesha, who succeeds the Democrat,
Ernst Merton. Lockney does not com
mand respect through mere bulk, as
Go so many public men. He is I'M
derszed, but like many small men in
history has a most clear and pene-
trating mind and the gift of ready
speech. Although serving his first
term Lockney is the author of twenty
two bills, is chairman Of the senate
committee OF engrossed bills and is a
member of the important committees
on transportation and the new capitol
Among his bills are three of large inn
portance. One provides that mu-
inequalities may condemn and take
over public utilities, another strikes at
improper medical advertising and the
third provides that the safety appli-
ances on the railroads of the state
shall be uniform with those adopted by
the federal government He has taken
a prominent hand in the debates this
winter and is heard with interest.
Graduated from University.
Lockney was graduated from the
University of Wisconsin in 1897. While
in the university he achieved distinc-
ton as Il brilliant debater, appearing
in the joint debate for the Athenaean
society in 1895, one of his team as
sOciates being Henry E. COchemS, Of
Milwaukee, who contested the con-
gressonal nomination with Mr.. STAFF
ford last fall. The story is told that
Lockney and Cochems were Demo
Gratis until one afternoon when they
had occasion to Gail on the present
Senator LaFollette, from which time
they have been Republicans and ar
dent supporters Of the senator. The
story is doubtless true as to Cochems
for he comes Of Democratic ante
cedents, but Lockney says he has al
ways been a Republican. LOckney
was for several terms city attorney
Of Waukesha and for ten years chair,
mar of the county committee of Wau-
kesha county.

Proposed New Auto Law

Automobile legislation drags like

lull James T. Drought, secretary of

provides that speed in excess of fif-
teen miles an hour within the con-
fines of a city or twenty-five miles an
hour in the country shall be prima

first violation he suggests a fine of
not over $50; for the second fine of

Demand for Revision.

The assembly committee ON judici-
airy listened last week to arguments
on several resolutions proposing a re-
vision of the state constitution, and
it is believed will submit a favorable
report on the proposition. This will
be most important work If it is
ordered. 1t is likely that the consti-
tuition of Oklahoma will be largely
taken as a model if Wisconsin decides
to recast it's ark of the fathers. The
Oklahoma product is brand new and
up-to-date, written in the light Of new
theories of government and dealing
with trust and combination problems
as approved by present-day thought.
That there is a strong sentiment i'll
favor of revision is shows by the
large number of petitions that have
poured in on the subject and that
there are eighteen such resolutions in
trOduced in the assembly ana eight in
the senate. A number of other states
have revised their constitutions, and
Wisconsin, like them. is finding it irll
some to develop under the limitations
imposed upon the commonwealth III

out and borrow more to send TO the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to

Members Getting FESTIVE.
The slow progress of legislation
has led many members to express the
desirability of taking a recess soon
until next fall or the first of next Jan
uary They were even in favor of
putting the election Of senator over
till that time if such a thing were
possible. They realize that only by
the wholesale Strengthening Of bills is
it now possible to finish up the work
in hand by next June, and even this
program would permit Of but scant
consideration of some Of the large
measures introduced. Pliny Norcross,
the veteran member, is inclined to
summary sction of some sort. He
says: I'VE ought to pass the neces-
sary appropriation and other urgency
measures and then adjourn. There
are any number of bills that have no
excuse for existence and should be
killed without the wasting Of any time
on them"
