Bishops bill, there is small likelihood
of it ever passing. While there is no
doubt but that there is a feeling in
Essex and Hudson against any law
that deprives man Of entering sa-
loon on Sunday and buying a glass
of beer, those who favor legislation
to that end are much in the minority,
taking the state as whole and the
party that dehes the popular will
must suffer in consequence. The pas
sage of the Bishops bill was one of
the commendable acts of the repub-
lican legislature last year and had the
party been free from bossism and
corporation control there would be a
different situation at Trenton today
The desire to repeal the Bishops
law is remarkable in that it is not
that measure that keeps saloons clos
ed on Sunday The Werts law, which
has been on the statute books for
many years, does that, yet there is
no agitation to repeal the Werts' law
The Bishops law merely compelled
to expose their bars to
the street at such times when it is
unlawful to sell liquor AS the Werts'
law makes it unlawful to sell on Sun
day, it necessarily follows that bars
must be exposed on that day. Surely
the people who are clamoring for the
repeal of the Bishops law would not
want to be called criminals, yet that
is what all lawbreakers are and to
sell liquor when the Werts' law for
bids it, is breaking that law. If a

AN INCONSISTENT BOARD.

The water board is anything but
consistant. Yesterday it appeared be-
fore the County Board of Equaliza-
ton OF Taxes and argued that the val
uation of $25, 900, which the Madison
township assessor has placed upon
the AIS acres owned by the city at
Runyon, is excessive. At the same
time the water board is fighting in
the courts for the privilege of paying
Asbury and James Fountain SIS, 500
for thirty odd acres in the same vi
entity. JUST AS A COMPARISON,
WE HERE FIND THE WATER
BOARD WILLING TO PAY THE
FOUNTAINS $500 AN ACRE FOR
LAND WHICH THEY DECLARE BE-
FORE THE TAX BOARD is NOT
WORTH s5s AN ACRE.
= Why is it that the water board is
30 persistent in paying the Fountains
$500 an acre for this land when it
has been clearly shown that it is not
worth more than a tenth of that
amount and the board, by it's appeal
+ from the assessment made, admits it.?
1t is evident that it is not municipal
pride or local patriotism that impels
this.
WHY DOES THE WATER BOARD
INSIST UPON PAYING $500 AN AC-

A CRIME AGAINST SOCIETY.
From "The Moral Aspects of Suicide

Voluntary se1f-murder is not only
a violation of the divine law, but is

compared to grand army, every

and mission assigned to him by his

the post of duty intrusted to senti-

as a most cowardly act, which is pun

Another effort is to be made this
year to abolish the State Board of Ar
bitration. Governor Stokes has asked
for economy and, as the republican
legislators have shown a Willingness
to follow out his suggestions in other
matters, there is reason to believe
they will do so in this. More than
this. Senator silzer, democrat, has
introduced a bill carrying out the re-
publican governors suggestions in
this regard. 1t would seem, therefore,
that there is chance of both parties
getting together this time to wipe
this board, with It's fat salaries for
no work, out of existence. Senator
Silzer has made an excellent start and
there is every reason to believe he
will keep it up.

IS GOOD ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE
WATER BOARDS CASE BEFORE
THE COUNTY TAX BOARD AT NO
EXTRA EXPENSE TO THE PEO-
PIE, YET WHEN THE TAXPAYERS
THEMSELVES TAKE ACTION
AGAINST THE BOARD TO PRE-
VENT A GREAT PUBLIC WASTE,
SPECIAL COUNSEL is HIRED AT
ENORMOUS COST.
The people ask the commissioners,
Why? and defy them to answer truth
fully.
These facts have not escaped notice
and it is these that persuade the peo-
pie that the water board, as now
constituted, is not the proper body to
build a reservoir for the city or to
have the spending of any more money
than is absolutely necessary. The
board is now preparing to issue an
other 100000 worth of bonds, not
to be issued all at once, it is stated,
but TO BE ISSUED AS THE MONEY
is NEEDED. How many more $780,
900 is the water board going to need?
A slight Investigation shows that
the city's money has been flowing
through this board thousands and
thousands of dollars at a time. Is
there to be no end? 1t was but a
short time ago that 100000 worth
of bonds were issued. Now another
| 100000 is wanted ''to be used as
the money is needed" To be sure,
and, judging from the past, it will
not be long before it will all be
needed" and then there will prob
ably be another request for 100000.
If PAYING $500 AN ACRE FOR
LAND WORTH $50 AND HIRING
EXPENSIVE LAWYERS TO FIGHT
THE TAXPAYERS WHEN THEY
OBJECT, is A SAMPLE OF THE
WAY IT is .'NEEDED" 1T WOULD
SEEM AS III THE TIME HAS AR
RIVED TO CALL A HALT.

i've body, and the members terms
running for five years. makes it rath-
er an exclusive organization and the
people are not apt to keep as close
watch on its transactions as they 9TH
erwise would, but this continual de-
mand for 100000 more "to be used

MILWAUKEE,, April 3.

MILWAUKEE,, April 3.
An agricultural colonization scheme for
Italian immigrants is proposed to re-
lieve the congested districts in large
cities, particularly in New York, Bos-
ton. Washington New Orleans and
Chicago, and to reduce the percentage
of criminality, which it is argued is a
direct result of factory life and the un-
natural conditions which surround the
immigrants in a large city.
In connection with this scheme DIR.
Brunialti, an Italian government in
spector from Rome; DR.. Guido Serva-
dio, vice-consul at Denver and tempor-
ary manager Of the Italian labor
bureau in New York city, and State
Senator Schmidt of Colorado will start
in few days on a tour of inspection
through the states of the central west
and the narthwest. Signor Arminio
Conte the newly appointed Consular
Agent at Milwaukee, expects to CO.
operate with the inspector and will
urge the consideration of Wisconsin
and Minnesota as states Offering ex-
ceptional advantages to such colonies.
Dr. Brunialti arrived in New York
from Rome last Sunday, having been
sent to American to investigate condi-
tions In the north and the south, and
to make report as to where the colon
ization experiment should be made. He
was accompanied from New York by
DR.. Servadio, and after a brief stop in
Chicago proceeded TO Denver which
will be the starting point of the in
spection tour.
AS Signor Conte was until recently
secretary of the Italian consulate in
New York, and as part of his duties
in connection with the newly created
Milwaukee Office will be to act as agent
for those Italians who are to be sent
to the northwest for settlement on
farms under the arrangement to be
made with the Italian government. it
is probable that he will be successful
in his effort to interest the inspector
in Wisconsin. It is probable also that
tour OF the state will include visit
10 Arpin, Wis, where a successful
colony was established three years
ago for Jewish immigrants.

Plan to Lessen Congestion and Crime in Big Cities.

we believe to be directly due to factory
life, and it is to reduce this criminality
and to solve other social problems
which are the result of conditions of
living unnatural to our people that we
are anxious to adopt the agricultural
colonization plan and place them on
farms" says Signor Conte. Personal
ly, | believe it to be the, only solution
of the serious problem confronting us
and ] have been studying conditions
in New York ever since l came to this
country five years ago.
"The Italian suffers intensely when
forced to work in factories and that is
practically the only field open to him
in the large cities. He is unused to
the long hours Of confinement and to
the life he is forced to live in those
quarters into which the 400, 900 Italians
of New York are crowded. He grows
resentful under it, social evils spring
up, and then crime follows.
Under natural conditions the Ital-
fan is no more inclined to crime than
any other race, and we hope to prove
this and to preserve the virtues of our
people and the good name of our race
In America.
italians are naturally farmers.
They are accustomed to living in the
open air and they are not adapted to
factory work. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible, however, for them to become
farmers in this country unless they
have financial aid.
'The immigrants as a class are poor
people. When they arrive in New York
they have but little money, scarcely
enough to pay their fare out here.
They have no capital with which to
begin farming and consequently the
majority of them are forced into the
factory. where they work ten or twelve
hours day for an average of $1.20.
while | have used New York as a
specific example, because l am more
familiar with conditions there and be-
cause the problem is gravest there, the
opening of this new northwest district
is designed to relieve the congested
conditions in all the eastern seaport
cities. 1t is probable that the couthern
cities 1t is probable that the southern
problem for the gulf ports, New Or
leans especially.
'"rhe contrasting conditions o- rf.e
Italian colony in Milwaukee, where ]
find our people living in comfort and
peace and much better in class, and OF
the one in New York. where we have
many of the worst class to deal with,
is proof of the beneficial influence of
room and air.
'The adoption of the colonization
plan which the labor bureau in New
York has under consideration viii mean
that a large sum OF money must be
raised in some way and this is one OF
the serious difficulties. 1t is possible
that the cooperation Of landlords In
some way win be sought.
Another question under consdera-
tion is whether TO send the Italians
north or south, II being urged by some
that the climate in the northwest is
too cold and the winters too severe for

These dolls are small terra Gotta fig

which must have been most fascinating
for the children of Babylon.
Next in point of antiquity are Ro-
man dolls, of which Princess Cle1nen-
tine owns three varieties-dolls OF
ivory. wax and clay. The Roman clay
dolls, with jointed arms and legs, are
among the oldest and the most val
liable in the collection. There are sav-
eral Greek dolls. Though less ancient
than the Roman dolls, they are more
valuable, as the number in existence is
very limited, and Princess Clementine

Greek dolls represent gods, heroes and
common mortais. There is one kind
with flexible limbs whose clothes were
made to take off and put on, and every
doll had bed of it's own. There is
likewise a dollhouse, with lead dishes
and tiny kitchen utensils. which wolild
seem to show that the Greek maidens

There are some queer dolls from
Greenland, which were cut out of bones
