mai RepubHcan, ana asserts that as soon
as the party had its birth at RipOn,
February %, 1854, he began his firm ad-
herence to it's principals. He is one of
the two survivors of the Legislature of
1857, his seat being next to that of Phi
letus Sawyer, afterwards United States
senator.
During his ffty-six years of residence
in the state he has never missed voting
at an election. 1t has been his boast
that he has always cast the first ballot
at these elections. In respect to his
wishes to continue the custom this year
the voters in the town of Rock waited
until nearly noon last November until
the old gentleman could be brought from
his home several miles distant to retain
the honor of being No. / on the list of
voters.
Perhaps the most unique achievement
of Mr.. Trip is his mahogany sidewalk.
This sidewalk is Mr.. Trips special
hobby and as dear to him as anything he
owns. Some years ago a quantity OF ia
maica sugar was shipped to a mill near
his home in vast hogsheads OF mahog-
any. These Mr.. Trip secured and by
his own labors constructed sidewalk in
front of his home. 1t is safe to say that
no other man in the United States has
such a walk, every piece fitted as accu-
rately as though by joiner. From the
ends of the boards Mr.. Trip had made
numerous souvenirs. gayels for societies
which have honored him and rulers for
others People have driven miles to. see
the walk and walk over it.
Mr.. Trip has another interesting sight
on his farm-a huge fagpole so feet high
and tipped with a mahogany ball. From
this pole during campaign years flies a
huge American flag with the names of
the Republican candidates. Each morn
ing the flag is run up at $50 and comes
down each night at sundown.
Mr.. Trip is still verv active despite
his years and is a familiar sight on the
streets of GAINESVILLE. His farm he leaves
to the labors of others but directs the
work personally.

STUDENTS SEE BOYCOTT.
University of Wisconsin Youths Say
They Are Disseminated Against
Under Civil Service Rules.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 2S.-[Special.1
University of Wisconsin students COM
plain that they are Disseminated against
in the allotment of ''capitol jobs" under
the civil service regulations. ''The Car
dinal' says in part in an editorial:
Never before to our knowledge has a uni
versity student been called upon either to
deny his occupation suffer to lose be-
cause honesty demanded that he state his
connection with Wisconsin university
Many university students passed the re-
cent civil service examination for clerkships
in the Legislature. Some were certified by
the civil service commission. When they
tried to plead their case with one of the
appointing officials, they were closely in
terrogated regarding their present occupa-
ton. When they plead guilty to the crime
of being students in the university, they
were told that their occupation was Suffi-
cient to disqualify them.
This is no asylum for university mis-
fits, was the remark passed by one Off
cial. Indeed the chairman of the commits
sion, himself q student and in addition, an
instructor of university students, holds the
very same views expressed above. Why
this discrimination should be made we can
not comprehend
Our complaint is not against the abolition
of the socalled ''snap job We entirely
agree that such practices should be stopped.
But we do protest against discrimination
against applicants for the mere reason that
they are students. Such prejudice is
against justice and reason.

MINIMUM STRENGTH OF EACH
COMPANY WILL BE IN
CREASED.
BY ORDER OF PRESIDENT.
Power of Commander-in-C Chief of Army
Explained in Document from
War Department

APPLETON, Wis, Jan. 2S.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The minimum strength of each
company, troop and battery of the Wis
consin National Guard has been in
creased by order of President Roose-
welt.
Orders to that effect will be read to
each military organization this week.
The minimum enlisted strength of in
fantry companies and Troop A will be
increased from forty-two men to fifty
eight, while the First Battery of Mil
Waukee will be increased from forty-siX
to 1873. The battery's increase is the
greatest change of any os the maximum
strength OF that organization under the
former state regulations was only sew
enty. AS most of the infantry compan-
les are at present recruited to near the
state maximum strength, sixty-6ve, the
order will not cause material change,
but 1t Will cause great hustle to be
taken by the batterymen to find recruits
in Milwaukee.
War Department Orders.
The change has just been promulgated
IN orders from the war department,
which was followed up by an order from
Gen. G. B. Boardman reading in part as
follows:
Careful study of general orders No. 8, war
department, is enjoined for all officers and
each company commander is herewith di-
rected to read it to his company on the
first regular drill night after it's receipt at
the home station. The regulations estab-
lished by the United States government are
herewith incorporated in the state regula-
tons for the government of the Wisconsin
National guard. Company commanders, and
especially the commanding officer of the
First Battery Field artillery, should at once
take all reasonable steps to keep their COM
mands recruited up to the minimum of en-
listed strength as established by the presi'
dent.
Explains Presidents Power.
The order to be read to the Wisconsin
soldiers also covers the power of the
President, given by the constitution, for
calling the militia into the service of the
United States.
Should any Wisconsin soldier fail to
respond to the call when the President
orders the guard into service he shall be
courtmartialed and punished. The time
of service can not be over ninety days,
however. No organization will be ac-
cepted whose strength is below the mini
mum prescribed by the President. When
ordered out the government will allow
an expense of not to exceed 80 cents a
man for rations while enroute to the rem
devious,

LIABILITY BILL LOST,
One Increasing Amount Recoverable for
Death Passed Two Years Ago Did
Not Get to Governor.

MADISON, Wis, JAN 29-[Special. I
1t has been discovered that a bill
which passed both houses of the Legis-
lature at the session two years ago,
raising the limit of liability for the
death of an employee from $4,000 to $1O,-
900, never went to the governor for
his signature.
What became of the instrument is a
mystery, as the journals of the session
show that the bill passed each house,
but that it was not signed or vetoed or
returned by the executive.
Bills increasing the limit of liability
to $4,000 and removing the limit en-
tirely have been introduced this ses-
