MONTEREY.

We were not many--we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day;
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years if but he could

In deadly Drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not single soldier quail'd
When wounded comrades round them
valid
Their dying shout at Monterey.
An on-still on our common kept
Through walls Of flame its wander.

Where fell the dead the living slept
Still charging on the guns which swept
me slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself reeoiled aghast,
When, striking where the strongest
lay.

past,
And Drawing full their murderous
blast,

Our banners on those turrets wave,
And there our evening bugles play;
Where orangebougts above their

Keep green the memory of the brave

Beside the brave who fell that day
But who of us has not confessed

SOME AUTOMOBILE GEOGRAPHY

Nor is American the only scene of
automobile development. The car
is sweeping The world. At the Ber-
lin show there were $50 exhibits by
81 manufacturers, as compared with
$40 exhibits by 29S exhibitors in 1905.
OF the number of exhibitors in 1906
33S were German, II French, 4 Ital-
ian and 3 American. And here, too
at the Berlin show, refinement of the
details of construction-in design, in
motors, and in methods of transmits
sion-was the feature the trend
everywhere noticeably being toward
simplicity Although Great Britain
has Jagged behind France, Germany
and America in automobile manlfac-
turing, yet this last winters show at
London gave evidence of very great
Progress made in the last two years.
British cars, speaking generally, are
not yet to be compared with those of
the leading manufacturers of the
other countries. They have not at
tanned to the mechanical simplicity,
nor to the refinement of general
structure, but they are coming. The
feature of the recent show was the
appearance of a number of six-cylin-
der cars-many of the manufs cturers
turning their attention to this style
which, however, appears in most
models to lessen the seating capacity.

The new laboratories at the Unit

pletely equipped. Human physiol )ey
and physiological chemistry can now
be studied in detail by undergradu-

equipment is designed to give the
students opportunity for acquiring
tirst-hand knowledge of experimental
physiology and physiological chemis-

that, with these new laboratories,
Wisconsin may succeed in adding TO
the small fund of facts known to

the development Of the study OF
medicine.

Something Personal About
Senator John c. Spooner

Colonel John c.. Spooner. whose
! resignation as senator is the current
sensation in national and state poll
tics, was first chosen senator in 1885
succeeding Angus Cameron Of La
Crosse. His republican competitor
was General Lucius Fairchild, to
whom he had been private secretary
when that distinguished soldier vas
governor Of the badger common

cross of GAINESVILLE was a member ni
the legislature at the time and had a
voice in determining who should be
senator. He will now lave vote
in selecting the successor of Colonel
Spooner as will Assemblyman c. T.
Esrabrook of milwaukee, also a so.or
in 1885. The latter then represent
ed Mardowoc district.

AT the opening Of the first Cleye-
land administration Colonel Spooner
assumed the duties of the office to
which he had been elected and SOC.
began to make q name for himself as
9 brilliant orator and statesman. In
1888 he was selected as one of Wis
consin's delegates-at-large to the re-
publican national convention and as
such he made the nominating speech
for Governor Rusk for the office of
president
When Benjamin Harrison became
the nations chief executive Senator
Spooner, who had been one OF his
colleagues in the upper house, be.
came one Of his strongest advisers
and TO him more than once was made
an offer Of a cabinet portfolio. me
friendship between these two lasted
until General Harrison's death.
In 1890 came the school law agi-
tation and the democratic party
swept badgerdom. capturing both
branches of the legislature, all the
state Offices and nine members of the
congressional delegation, the only
representative to Withstand the tidal
wave being Nils P. Haugen. now tex
commies' ner. AS a result Of their
victory the democrats naturally De,
sired a senator of their own political
doctrine and consequently selected
Colonel William F. Villas to succeed
Senator Spooner.
Upon his retirement from the SEN
ate Colonel Spooner returned to
Madison, purchased the handsome
residence which Is still his home ana
opened a law office, the firm be-
ing spooner, Sanborn & Kerr. Judge
A. l.. Sanborn Is now upon the fed

Senator Spooner represented his
party in the celebrated gerrymandor
cases before the state supreme court
and was successful in having the
legislation declared unconstitutional.

Madison. March 6.
The assembly committee on state
affairs held hearing yesterday upon
bill introduced by Assemblyman d.
F. Mains of Vernon county. authoriz-
ing municipal corporations TO dis
nose of all licenses for the sale of
Intoxicating liquors to a private cor
poration upon vote of majority of
the electors The measure provides
chat a number of electors in any
town, village or city equal to more
than 10 per cent of the voters may
require the submission at an cleo
ton of the question OF whether or
not all licenses for DEALINGS in intox-
icating liquors shah lie disposed of
according to the provisions of the
act Accompanying the petition there
shall be filed a bond to the muni.l-
patty in the sum of $1,000 in towns
and villages and $4,000 in cities, ex-
ecuted by no less than five citizens
and approved to proper official auth
GRITTY conditions upon the organiza-
ton, before the first day of the fol.
lowing June. OF a corporation to re-
ceive the licenses which may be
granted under the law. If at the cleo
ton a majority of the electors vote
In favor of the question submitted
then the licenses issued thereafter by
the city for the sale of liquor shall
be issued to the corporation to be
formed under the provisions of the
laws and such corporation shalt be
permitted to have full control of the
business of selling liquors in tue
municipality, 1t provides further
that the corporation shall pay to the
municipality a license equal to that
paid by the saloons the year preced-
ing the adoption of these provisions;
that it shall be allowed to make a
profit OF not to exceed 10 per cent
per annum upon the amount of its
capitalization, that all profits in ex-
cess of 10 per cent shall be paid, one
half to the local treasury, one.fourth
to the county and one-fourth to any
charity which the corporation may
choose TO designate. The bill also
provides for all the exigencies that
may arise and for proper police reg
ulation
Its provisions are copied closely af
ter the Gottenburg law o. Norway
which has grown into great popular
favor in that country. Its advocates
are most earnest in the endeavor %
secure its passage.
Before the committee appeared
Speaker II. l.. Ekern, d. f. Mains and
c. +. Stout in its advocacy, while w.
II. Austin and w. ]. McElroy, repre-
senting the brewery interests of Mil
waukee, appeared in opposition.
The advocates of the bill spoke of
its success in Norway where il has
been operative sfor so years; of it's
tendency to elevate the business by
putting its conduct into better hands;
that it would provide better and purer
liquors through the elimination of
competition; that 1t would provide
the same or larger revenue as re-
suits from high license and in the end
tend to the promotion of temperance.
Messrs. Austin and McElroy con.
tended that there is no demand for
such a law; that it is experimental at
best that its constitutionality is
questionable and that its adoption
would be an unwise departure from
the settled policy of local control.

In 1892 he was the republican can
didate for governor, making the race
at great personal sacrifice. and,
though defeated he succeeded in re-
duche the democratic plurality to a
low fsG,e. In 1898. when the leg
islature convened he was given the
republican caucus nomination for
senator but his election was out OF
the question. owing to the fact that
the democrats were again in control
In 1896 William Mckinley swept
Wisconsin and with the landslide a
republican legislature was chosen.
When the time came to ballot lor
United States senator but one name
was mentioned, and John c. Spoon
II was chosen to succeed the warm
personal friend who had 3ofeated him
six years before, Colonel Villas.
During the four and one half
years that Major Mckinley was in
the white house Senator Spooner
rendered him great assistance in TIE
settlement OF the grave problems
growing out of the war with Spain
and so strcng was the martyred pres
ident's regard for him that he urged
him more than once to accept q
place in his cabinet In 1900 he an
nounced his intention Of not seeking
another term. but SO strong was the
pressure brought upon him that in
19vY he accepted a reelection ana
was chosen without a dissenting ie.
publican vote.
Yet More Personal.
