Roosevelt has again announced
he does not want to be named as

are still many months before he
must officially refuse and he may

The demise OF the Chicago Chron-
icle is to be deplored. It was a
good clean'newsy sheet that was
not afraid to print the news and
when it did so there was no tinge of
yellow journalism about it.

As to Apportionment.

But little has been said Or heard OF
the question of apportionment, but the
subject is one that is causing the
standing committee some concern
now. 1t is generally thought there will
not be much recasting of legislative
districts, but there will be some pull
ing and hauling on the part of men,
bers to shape up districts agreeable to
them Some will want their districts
left intact; others will want to reach
over into some other mans preserves
for a slice to make his own more Re-
publican or Democratic, as the case
may be. AS there cannot be more
than thirty-three senate districts and
one hundred assembly districts, and as
the apportionment is made on the
basis of population the southern cOun-
ties will suffer at the profit of the
more rapidly growing northern cOun-
ties Dane county, the second largest
in the state. will retain its three as
semblymen, but Rock county, which
also has three, will undoubtedly have
to foregO one.
There is also much sentiment in the
legislature in favor of changing the
present county board system TO the
commissioner system. The board sys-
tenn is an expensive and cumbersome
one. Thus Dane county again has six
ty-four members in its board, with
prospects Of soon having over seventy,
a body approXimating towards the
size of the assembly, and as each
member gets some $50 year the cost
makes no incOnsiderabie item. It is
urged that commission Of three or
FIVE members would be a more effect
i've ana economical governing board.
Torrens Tranfer System.
The Torrens land transfer system
seems to have a thorny road to travel
towards the Wisconsin statute books.
Session after session bills to establish
it have been introduced, only to be
voted down, and now the senate has
repeated history by killing the StOn-
dali bill providing for its establish
ment. A resolution for an investiga-
ton of the land transfer practices in
the state is, however, to be acted upon
and may receive more consideration.
A bill Of much interest to newspa-
per publishers was the Thomas bill to
reduce the rates to be allowed news
papers for the publication Of election
notices. SO much opposition was eX-
pressed against such reduction that
Mr.. Thomas finally amended the bill
so as to retain the old rates. but pro-
viding that such notices shall not be
published more than four times. and
in this form the bill was advanced by
the assembly.
Little Enjoyment This Session.
The session this year has been
marked by little levity or the enjoy
ment of the lighter sides of life. There
was no inaugural or legislative ball:
there have been no banGuets or con
certs such as were pleasant incidents
in past sessions. As there are scarcely
any of the common .Old-style saloon
FOUNDERS among the members this
year. there is also 4 noticeable absence
of the dandy and deb0nair type to pro
mote the social amenities.
On the whole it is au honest. clean,
sturdy. plodding legislature, which
takes itself quite seriously

To Shorten the Session.
Assemblymaa Roethe's sou io-l 10
fmit legislative sessions to los tys
has not yet been acted upon. but is not
likely to he taken seriously except a.;
an expression Of the spirit Of prot 5
against long drawn out Sc lsiOns. 1t
is causing not a little discuss OH and.
will receive some support 1t is
pointed out that too much is corning
to be expected Of legislators and that
only well-tO-dO patriots can seriously
consider the proposition Of working
six months for $500. This Oh. &c ION
will be met, however, if the next leGis
lature and the people pass favOrally
on the proposed constitutional am nj
ment increasing the salaries OF legisa-
tors to $1,000. Objection to long es-
siOns is made on the ground OF ex-
pense to the state, yet it is a question
if short sessions would not cost the
state more and he of more injury than
long ones.
Important legislation requires much
time and opponents OF the short ses-
sion idea show that twas only through
a long session that the railway com
mission bill became a law two years
ago. Ii there had been a time init
on tie legislature. they say, til valu-
able piece OF our enactments would nor

similar vein they urge that had Il G

FARMER
MISSING WITH MONEY
Disappears Will. Ten Thousand
Dollars, Proceeds From the
Sale of a Farm

SEATTLE, June 9.-Albert
Wensch, Minnesota farmer, and his
17-year-old son, William, disap-
peared in Seattle, April 10, and with
them $4,000 in cash, which the
elder Wensch is said to have had on
his person.
The money represented the pro-
ceeds of the sale of Wensch's farm,
near Austin, Mimi, upon his depart
ure for the west. He left his former
home to come to the Pacific north
west. With him he brought his fam
lily, consisting of his wife, who is
now in Portland, his son, William,
and some younger children.
Chief Wappenstein received a let
ter yesterday from the police depart
ment of Portland, making inquiries
about Wensch.
Wensch's wife called on the chief
of police of Portland to assist in To-
eating her husband and son. She re-
lated the circumstances of selling
their farm in Minnesota and starting
for the northwest She told how her
husband had met two men on the
train, one being q barber.

JAP SHEETS STILL
SHOUT FOR SATISFACTION
Advises Readers That Coast Senti-
ment is Not General in United
States

TOXIC, June 9.-In regard to the
recent attack on a japanese bath
house and restaurant in San Fran
cisco, the Jill today advises its
readers not to believe that the un-
friendly sentiments of San Francisco
people are shared by the whole
American nation. The paper points
out the danger to friendly relations
between Japan and the United States
which might result from such misap-
prehension. 1t also expresses full
confidence that the Washington gov
eminent will be able to settle the
matter satisfactorily.
The Hochi suggests that the ira
ditional friendship and the outrages
suffered by Japanese in America are
two things that must be kept dis
tinctly separate in solving the ques-
ton of assault on japanese in San
Francisco, which is now at issue.
The Hochi says that the outrage
should be considered irrespective of
the locality of the occurrence.
Continuing, it says: Should
similar discrimination and persc-
cution be practiced against citizens
of European country there would
certainly have been the strongest
outbursts of indignation on the part
of the whole nation that suffered by
them.
THE San Francisco incident con-
Germs not only the rights of the Jap
anese there, but the honor of Japan.
The future relations between Japan
and the United States are involved in
this question. Our demand must be
firmly insisted upon, and sentiment
set aside Thus will the friendship
of both nations be placed on a firmer
footing

NOR THREATENS TO
BURN DOWN SALOON
Armed Men Guard Building in Colo
RADIO Town i'm Order to Save
Their Own Property.

PARKER, Colo, June 10.-Fear-
ing an attempt to burn the saloon
of l.. F. Lambert, which probably
would result in the destruction of
the entire town, Parker is under
guard night and day. A squadron of
soldiers from Fort Logan is patrol
ing the main street and outskirts
and the townspeople are in state of
terror.
Lamber short-changed a soldier
last Friday, it is alleged, and when
the latter protested emptied his re-
volver into squad of twenty, injur-
ing two so badly that their lives were
despaired of for time. He escaped
after the shooting and friends of the
wounded men have vowed they will
get vengeance by burning the build
ing.
Yesterday an Intellectual attempt
was made to fire the place. This
alarmed the people of the town, and
as result of their appeal for protec-
ton troops were dispatched from
Fort Logan. Intense feeling pre-
walls against Lambert He has not
been apprehended. although the

TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL
CHILDREN CLASS HATRED
Children Expected to Imbibe, in
Religious Atmosphere, Dis
like of the Well to Do.

LONDON, June 10.-The socialist
Sunday school continues to prosper,
and some of the members of the lib
eral government are trying to plan
way to put an end to these Sunday
schools as they are present consti-
tuted without interfering with the
traditional British right of free
speech.
Here are some extracts from the
socialist Sunday school catechism:
How many classes are there? Two
aristocrats and working people.
Who are the aristocrats? Those
who enjoy wealth without working
for it.
Who are the workers? Men who
work for wages and receive only a
portion of what they earn, the other
part going to keep the idle classes.
Who owns the factories and ware
houses? The rich capitalist class,
who will not employ men unless they
can make profit
What is the consequence? That
men able and willing to work for
food cannot get food for their wives
and children.
Do men and women die of hunger
in England? Yes, in the midst of
plenty.
Do the savages starve in the midst
of plenty? No; when there is plenty
of food they all rejoice and feast
and make merry.
Here are few lines from the So
cialist Sunday school hymn book:
These kings defile US with their pow
der,
We want no war within the land;
Let soldiers strike; for peace call
louder,
Lay down arms and join hand in
hand.
Should these vile monsters still de-
termine
Heroes to make us in despite
They'll know full soon the kind of
vermin
Our bullets hit in this last fight

The last time she saw her husband

Manchester, Me, July 19.-(SpcciaD.
The farm buildings of Alvin L. Cot

and had gone into the yard, when they
saw smoke and flames coming from
the roof. The alarm was given but 50

fire and responded and they were I'M
able to do more than protect the barn,
which stood apart from the house and

from a little girl visiting at the house,
playing with matches in the attic.
The loss is now estimated at from
500 to $500, with no insurance.
