primary election law at its
next session.
The Held amendment is
verbatim the tentative
amendment submitted by
The Call several weeks ago.
1t provides for every contin-
gency, reserves to the Legis-
lature the power to enact
laws governing the election
of delegates to the conven-
tons of political parties and
gives it in addition the power
to enact a direct primary
law. In short, it puts the
question squarely up to the
Legislature. The Held
amendment adopted by the
people, the Legislature may
redeem the pledges made to
the people or it may refuse
so to do, but it cannot dodge
behind a subterfuge and
ascribe its own shortcomings
to the faults of the constitu-
ton.
The Held amendment
gives the Legislature all the
powers necessary, but it does
not, like several tentative
amendments, contradict it
self and by so doing kill in advance
any direct primary law that may sub
sequently be enacted because of its
adoption by the people. There are no
contradictory optional clauses in the
Held amendment If IL is adopted by
the people the Legislature may give
them a mandatory direct primary cleo
ton law. IT does not propose any
scheme whereby after the enactment of
a direct primary law the courts may
declare such law abortive because 1t is
mandatory in one and optional in an
other political subdivision. 1t even
takes cognizance of the difference in
burdens that might be imposed on diff
ferent subdivisions and provides that
the Legislature in its discretion may
make provision for different compensa-
lions for primary election of ofhcials in
subdivisions of declared populations.
The Held amendment is a clean-cut,
nneouivocal proposition OF the charac-
ter the conventions OF the Democratic
and Republican parties pledged those
parties to submit to the people. It's
enactment by the Legislature for sub
mission to the people will be whole
performance OF the present Legisla-
lures duty to the people in so far rs
direct primary election reform is con-
oerned.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14.-The word
liquor" has been carefully eliminated
from the pure food bill Introduced by
Senator H. S. G. Mccarthy of Los An

included the word -.1iquor'' in all the
clauses which specifically attach pen

The bill as introduced will require
some nice Interpretation If it becomes
a law, as 1t starts out by including
liquor in its preamble of purity and
then ignores it completely. Some

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14-Senator Gus
Hartman's antiprizefghting measure
was for time lost sight of today. 1t
will hereafter be known as Senate Bill
No. II" and is virtually the same as the
amendment: to the Ralston act, defeated
at the last session. The bill is so
worded as to permit amateur bouts be-
fore clubs, but it is quite positive in
prohibiting professional matches ar
ranged by fight promoters or others for
gain. It's principal clauses provide
that:
person who within this State engages in
instigating and encouraging or does ANY act to
between TWO or more 'persons OF t,zht COM
monty called ring or prize fight. Or who, ems
without gloves. at which an admission fee IS
charged or received. either directly or indi-
Eectly, or who sends or publishes challenge
ries or delivers such challenge Of acceptance.
or trains or assists any person in training for
of misdemeanor: provided however. that spar
ring ring exhibitions with gloves of not less
than Eight ounces each in weight may he held
when such exhibitions do not continue for more
than fifteen minutes.
Hartman processes to be very frank
about the reasons impelling him TO sub
NIT his bill
.'I am a devotee of the game myself
he said this afternoon, land would
leave my seat right now to go and see
q real live go between two sprfghtly
boys. The sport, however, has so de-
generated that it is time to do some
thing to stop it, The fight promoters
are all mercenary and nearly every
match pulled off is an arrant and pail
pable fake. The public has grown
tired If being sandbagged.
There is nothing Interior behind this
bill 1t is merely intended to correct
gross abuse of popular confidence in
the Integrity of the men who manage
fights.

1t happened at high noon yesterday,
Wednesday, Aug. %, 1907, in this city,
when Miss Nina May Grange and Mr..
Hvland Sutherland were united in mar
rage by Rev. S. A. Bender. Mr.. And
rev Grange and Miss Bessie Collins
served in the positions of honor. The
ceremony was effected at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Grange, parents
of the bride, in the presence of immed-
late relatives only. The customary con-
CALCULATIONS followed and a delicious
wedding feast was served after which
Mr.. and Mrs. Sutherland departed or
the afternoon train for brief tour.
The bride is of Mineral Point from
birth, and her sunny disposition and ex-
cellent conduct have made her favor
tie among all classes. The groom is a
young man of Brodhead, this state. He
has been engaged at telephone line
work both here and at Dodgeville for
some time, with headquarters at the
latter place. His abilities and bearing
are good but none too good for such a
worthy companion. The Tribune joins
in the general wish for their happiness
and prosperity.

profuse and attractive manner, and re-
flected credit on every exhibitor.
The fine art department was up to
standard and contributed largely in cap
tivating the attention of every one who
stepped within the hall.
As usual, during the last few years
of our fair, the educational department
was one of entertainment and merit,
illustrating clearly the advantages pu-
pills of today enjoy through the advanced
system of conducting our public schools.
Citizen. teacher and pupil share alike
in the honors.
An exhibit worthy of special consider
alton was that of bees and honey by
w. E. Prisl; of this place. 1t was grand
and literally praised but none too highly.
1t was Mr.. Prisk's display of this kind
at the state fair last year which capti-
waited the people so generally.
The merchants who exhibited were
many, and their displays not only OF
merit, but proof that The style anc
quality of goods kept on sale in Minera
Point are on par with the best to be
found in any market. All branches Of
merchandise were represented. The at
tractive' arrangement of the displays
added very much thereto.
A spot that held the attention of min
ers and investors was that where ore
from various mines in this vicinity wer

Time so regulates affairs of life that
there past for all. Such is the case
with the Mineral Point Fair of 1907,
but time will not readily erase it from
the memories of the thousands who
attended.
The fair society was organized IN
1870, and has held exhibitions Of merit
annually ever since. For at least
twenty-five years it has served to draw
many former residents from all parts of
the country-a sort of home coming
event without any effort. This year,
however, the officers set to work to
make the home coming feature spe-
cialty. And we'll did they succeed, as
the list published elsewhere in the Tri-
bune of this issue testifies. The list is
large, yet there were many, very many,
who failed to register, hence their
names do not appear. This feature aid
ed materially in bringing about the
splendid results. 1t proved one OF the
happiest social occasions that ever took
place in Wisconsin. Of the large num-
Der who came, no matter how far, not
one has been heard to regret the time
and expense necessary to get here,
while the common voluntary expression
is; 'Tbe best time / ever had IN my
life; wouldn't have missed it for any
