UEPREJUDICED persons, considering
the action Of the assembly in advancing
to engrossment that piece of freak legis
lation which prohibits the smoking OF
cigarettes in public places, mus, he con
WINGED that some solons at Madison
have achieved lofty pinnacle OF foolish
ness The bill, it may be recalled, pro-
vides penalty of $25 fine or imprison
ment for ten days, for any person, re-
CARELESS OF age, sex, or previous condi-
ton of servitude, who shall smoke
cigarette in public within the sovereign
state OF Wisconsin. It goes even further,
and provides an equal penalty for any
one who shall be 80 lost to decency as to
expose in any public place such harm
less and inoffensve thing as cigarette
paper. Now, with all respect to the
sages, whom we have delegated to make
our laws, this approaches the ultimate
limit of legislative Stiffness. 1t IS all
very we'll to pass laws regulating or pro-
hibiting the use of cigarettes by minors,
but when it comes to legislation which
will deprive grown men of the liberty of
smoking anything they want to wherever
they want, it is time for an enthusiastic
and admiring population to ask what is
going on.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

The number of rented farms in the
twelve southern counties of Wisconsin
has nearly doubled in ten years, accord
ing to the Investigations made by Prof.
II. G. Taylor of the department of politi-
cal economy of the University OF Wis
consin. The rapidity with which land
owning farmers are being replaced by
tenant farmers, and the large problems
growing out of such tenancy make this
investigation of special Importance in
Wisconsin. The main purpose of the
work has been to find out the extent
and manner in which farm lands are
now held in this state. with view to an
adjustment of relations between land
lords and tenants looking toward the
conserving of the best interests OF both.

wed again until about two years ago,
and then she kept the marriage secret

Mrs. Batonyi, or Mrs Burke Roche

Gifts Girls Can Make.

A spectacle cleaner made from cut
leather and filed with chamois leaves
Is thoughtful gift, and any little
schoolgirl could certainly manage to
draw simple conventional design on
the ooze leather, afterward cutting it
away with sharp scissors and lining
the two rounds with a bit of pretty
bright silk. The chamois leaves are
cut a wee bit smaller than the leather
covers, and all are threaded on a bit
of baby ribbon tied with a bow. A
very nice penwiper is on the same
order as the cleaner, except that the
rounds are cut larger and the leaves
are made Of cloth, the threading to-
gether being exactly in the center in
stead of at one end, as In the case Of
the spectacle cleaner.

THE son OF HIS FATHER

he NO-N VT MO ~ II En-.
Jesse K. Grant of New York
son of Gen. | s Grant, is being
doomed as a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for President
and his mind appears to be in II
receptive mood. In fact he is now
on a trip in which he purposes TAX
ing in Arkansas, Tennessee, and
other Southwestern and Western
States, to meet leading business
men and politicians to see, how the
land lies. He arrived in st. Louis
Sunday with a party Of friends,
where he spent several days. He is
quoted as saying; lyon can hardly
call me a candidate for the presi-
dency yet, and it remains to be seen
whether | shall ever be. Ofcourse
] am not going 10 run away from
the Democratic nomination for
President if the party should offer
it to me. am making this tour
with the view of finding out
whether grounds exist for the be-
lief that there would be any chance
for me. He did not dicuss poll
ties further than to say that like
most people to-day he believed
there should be some revision of
the tariff and regulation of trusts,
but should be make announcement
as Il canidate for the nomination for
President, he would state his prin-
ciples frankly; until that time he
preferred to remain silent.
MIR. Grant is pretty well known
in business circles, being Il man of
considerable means, Il large mine
owner in Arizona and real estate
holder in New York. He is also
known as the son of his father;
but politically little or nothing is
known OF him. Outside Of New
York few people probably knew
whether he was a Democrat or Re-
publican, unit! Il short time ago
some one suggested him for the
Democratic nomination, and then
they looked up from reading the
item with an interrogation on their
lips. He certainly has no popular
hold on the Democratic sentiment
of the country that calls for his
nomination. If he possesses the
elements of leadership, of states
manship, executive ability and
that broad, comprehensive view
and!knowledge of national affairs
that fit him for the high position
for which he is mentioned his light
has been hidden under a bushel,
so far as the great commonality are
concerned. He may possess all
these things, but he has never ex-
ercised them for the public good
nor the party whose nomination he
would accept if the party should
offer it to him. "
Then the suggestion of his name
must be one of eXpediency alone,
with the thought that the reflected
glory of his fathers name would
arouse a storm of sentiment in his
favor. But twill never be. Some
thing more than a name is wanted.
The man whom the Democrats
nominate must be an earnest for
the principles for which the party
stands; even more, he must be
champion of those principles and
have given the best of evidence of
his championship and loyalty.

so popular, the Republicans used

that the popularity of Gooding

that was not the fault of his popu-

In his opening address to the
jury, Mr.. Hawley, senior counsel
for the prosecution, said:
In fact we will show to you
gentlemen that at the inception of
this organization, a conspiracy was
formed by the members of the inner
circle to commit murder and other
atrocious crimes by unusual and
alarming methods that the inner
circle brought around them few

prosecution has proved. In the
perJnred testimony Of Harry Or
chard rests the whole case of the
prosecution. Juries do not usually
convict on such testimony.
In conclusion | wish to say that
Judge Wood, who is presiding, is
absolutely fair in his rulings. The
