SOCIALISTS STRANGELY WRONG.

so far as our Wisconsin socialists
go they are on the wrong side of
about every practical question. At

In trade. The home merchant is
driven out of business, local trade
disappears, the great city grows still
greater, slums become SUMMER, child
labor multiplies, vice augments and
every form of evil is magniiied. For
this our socialists have eloquently ie-
clared on the floor of the assembly

can be substituted! No theory Is

a club. 1t is place where money is
wasted and worse than wasted, where
poverty is bred, misery inaugurated,

To the Editor Of The Trioura

To the Editor OF The Tr1OUre
Sir: The establishment OF the new night court at
jefferson Market is step in the right direction. The
idea Of having night sessions or the inferior courts
of criminal Jurisdiction is by no means original
with the city OF New York Chicago has long
demonstrated the necessity and usefulness OF night
owl courts. they sometimes called
heartily agree with the views OF some Of the
magistrates as expressed the daily papers. that
the best way make the new court Il success Is
to have night sessions in all. or nearly All. or te
places at which the magistrates courts are held
in the daytime. The only fault with the new law
is that it does not go far euough-it should have
provided the for the holding Of the dif-
ferent magistrates courts in two parts, one day
and night session. and the number OF nidgis-
trates and court attendants should have been IN
creased accordingly
