it. TIE buildings and shops are warm

THE POPULARITY OF EvANGELINE

Fact and fiction are almost impossible
to disentangle in the popular conception
of that most pathetic incident, the for
chile deportation of the French settlers
from Nova Scotia by the English gov
eminent in 1855. They were removed,
not exterminated,- was the Hugue-
not colony in Florida by the Spaniards.
They were a mere handful compared
with the three hundred thousand
French citizens dragooned out of
France upon the revocation of the
Edict of Nantes. Theirs was not so
hard fate as that Of the thirty thou
sand Tories driven into vagabond exile
at the close of the Revolutionary War.
Nobody pitieS the Huguenots or the
LoyalistS: but the sufferingS of the
Acadians are blown in every ear. All
the world knows their sad story; for
they have not lacked their sacred poet.
When the Reverend Mr.. Connolly told
the story of the two parted Acadian
lovers, and Hawthorne turned the ma
terial over to Longfellow, none of them
could forsee the consequences of their
action. The Immediate outcome was
''Evangeline, published in 1s47. 1t

lation on the subject of child labor
that the present legislature could not
refuse TO 1egislate to at least some
extent for the beterment of the cnhG
laborer.
The main point of contention raised
by the opponents was in regard to the
reduction of the length of the work
ing. day. Mr.. Spence argued that ii
would be unconstitutional and an in
fringement upon the guaranteed right
of contract to individuals, as long as
the work in which the child was EN-
ployed was healthful and wholesome
In rebutting this argument advanced
by Mr.. Spence. Mr. Jacobs said that
as a minor, the child laborer had No
right of contract, and thus it would
be no infringement Of his rights to
reduce the length OF his days labor.

committee were residents of Milwau

CARRIED ALARM TOO FAR.
Bryan 6Iames Railroad Managers for
Fright of investors.


Binghampton, March IA repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
Yesterday asked William j. Bryan, on
his arrival here, what effect the Haf-
riman and other investigators would
have ION the agitation in favor +
government ownership or management
of the railroads. He replied:
The most interesting phase of the
situation just now is the refusal of
the people to lend money freely %
railroads. Railroad managers say
this is due to hostile legislation, but
this is a mistake. There has been
no hostile legislation of sufficient Sc
verify to impair the revenue OF rail
road securities where the railroads
have been Honestl! conducted on hoD
est capitalization
If the investing public Is alarmed
it is because the railroad managers in
vain efforts to terrorize legislatures
have carried matters too far. If any
other answer is needed for hestarcy
on the Part OF investors, the investiga.
lions furnish it, for the inquiries have
shown to what extent railroad stocks
have been watered. But what IS tie
alternative? Must the government re-
fuse to investigate rotten manage
ment for fear a mlsmanaged railroad
would no longer be able to fool the
public irto buying inflated securities?
The soouer the railroads are ut on
an honest basis the more secure will
the investing public feel"

ton for indefinite postponement Of
the bill to appropriate 100000 for
the building of another home for the
feeble minded at Chippewa Falls. This
report came from the committee on
charitable and penal institutions. The
same committee reported in favor of
the passage Of the bill to abolish the
state board of control as now con-
stituted and re-create it so that the
members of that body shall rotate in
office and vacancies develop at regu-
lar periods.
Most of the afternoon the senate
chamber was occupied with a hearing
on the various bills before the SEN
ate and assembly committees on ju-
dietary relating to the abolition of
contributory negligence as a defense
in personal injury damage suits. The
brotherhood of locomotive engineers
appeared in favor of such legislation.
They were represented by Attorney
Frank w. Hall of Madison, who main
tanned that the operation of a rail-
road engine was a public and neces-
sary work, that ii was an extraordi-
narily dangerous occupation, and that
IN such cases where the engineer loses
his life through no fault of his own,
there should be the right to recover
damages even though the accident
happened through no fault of the rail-
road company In effect, he argued,
the public would be paying the bill
through the railroad companies which
represent the public in the manage
ment of the railroad systems, which
are ia fact public service properties.

To Depart from Net Valuation Would

Segregation of Securities Called a
Vicious and Unwise Proposition.
Madison, March i


The hearing on the n insurance
bills was continued last night by the
joint committee on banks and insur-
ance. A. A. WEIGH, actuary for the
Phoenix Mutual Life insurance COM
pany of Hartford. Conn, SAID that the
insurance companies will welcome
any legislation that viii help the pol
icyhclders, as whatever does that is
a benefit to the companies Theory
and practice do not go together, how
ever he declared, and many of the
fine spun ideas of investigators, when
put to the test, will not make good. ,
He said that to depart from the net
valuation. scheme would be a radical
step and urged the committee to pro-
coed With caution He said that if
the end in view was to limit the ex-
pense of Insurance, then the thing to
do is to set a measure of that expense
and compel the companies to keep
within the limit. He commended that
new business results in benefit to old
policyholders UP to a certain limit,
say $150.000 900 annually, but that a
too great increase would not be bene-
fetal; that the broader the base the
higher may be the superstructure OF
profits and dividends and that if new
| usiness ceased there could be no
increase OF dividends but i'll the end
a decrease.
He opposed requiring the companies
to deposit with the state' securities
equal to the amount of the reserve on
the business written within the state.
He said that If all the states did this
the assets of the companies would be
distributed through 45 states and that
such segregation would sweep away
the very foundation of the business.
He asked the committee to think
twice and seriously before it came to
Ia final conclusion.
At the conclusion of Mr. Welch's
remarks Messrs Ekern and Frear pro-
pounded mum ,rous questions and con
sumed a large part of the time in a
cross-fire discussion.
Judge William Goldsmith, represent.
ing the Travellers Insurance company
of Hartford. suggested that it would
be better for Wisconsin to regulate its
own insurance companies and leave
to other states the duty of regulating
theirs. He declared that it will be
not only unwise but vicious to segre-
gate the resources throughout all the
states of the union and that the de-
post required by the proposed law
would provide no security for policy
holders. He said that when the state
presents the forms of Insurance poll
cies and applications, it builds bar
rier to progress and the lberalizing
of methods.

UNANIMOUS FOR
CA 'ITOL BILL
ASSEMBLY ACTS AFTER A
SPIRITED DEBATE.
DELAY NOT AGREED TO
Members See Necessity of Prompt
Action and Vote Down Motion to
Postpone-Norcross and Bancroft
Make Effective Speeches in Favor
OF Expeditions Determination.


Madison, March IA
Due largely to effective speeches
by Assemblymen Pliny Norcross and
Levi H. Bancroft. the capitol bill n as
advanced to third reading in the
assembly yesterday by practically a
unanimous vote The bin as it
came from the senate provides that
the water, light, power and heating
plant shall be separate from the cap.
itol and stationed on spur OF
the railroads, ana that The capitol
be built Of granite or marble or
both.
In the early part of Il discussion
the fate of the bin was rather dubi.
Gus AssembIyman Thomas of Ra-
cine moved to postpone considera.
ton for a week, but monsded his
motion to read until Friday, at the
suggestion OF Assemblyman lie Roy.
Assemblymen Reynolds, Weber,
"rockhausen, and Perry all made
o1ef remarks or asked pertinent
questions which were calculated to
make the assembly hesitate about
committing itself to the senate bill.
Assemblyman Burke even offered
an amendment to make the bin
read that the capitol shall be built
of marble or granite, or both, "or
any other suitable material" AS
semblyman Perry objected strenu-
ousiy TO locating the heating plant
away from the main building with
out being informed what the cost
was going to be.
Mr.. Bancroft, who is a member
of the capitol commission, laid be-
fore the assembly the extreme need
of action on the propositions sub
mitted at an early date. He pointed
out that already the work had been
considerably delayed and that ac-
ton on the heating plant and the
marble and granite proposition must
be taken in order to continue the
erection of the west wing. He also
called attention to the fact that
over S150,000 in certified checks had
been in the hands of the capitol
commission received from various
competitors and that it was an in
justice to tie up their money any
longer. Several in fact were plan
ming on Withdrawing their checks
soon. Whatever action was taken
on the senate bill the item of ex-
pense still remained subject to linn
itation on the part of the legislature.
Assemblyman Norcross finally
came to the rescue with a short, in
cisiye statement # the propositions
involved n the I'LL, laying bare the
simplicity ~ chose propositions and
urging the members that as business
men they would not hesitate an
hour to decide upon their course.
As members of the legislature trans
acting the business Of the state
they ought to show no more reluct-
ance than they do in private mat
ters. The only proposition to which
the bill commits the legislature is a
separate heating plant, and the con-
structiOn of the superstructures or
granite or marble The motion 10
postpone action until Friday was
put and lost by a good margin. The
bill was hen ordered to a third
reading without dissenting voice.
