vetoes Teachers Agency Bill.

The bill which passed the legisla-
ture providing for a teachers en-
ployment bureau as reported in this
paper last week, was later vetoed
by the Governor on the ground that
the teachers of the state are among
the most intelligent class of citizens
and are able to take care of them
selves, and further, that every
County Superintendent and Normal
School, as we'll as the University, is
already acting as such agency; that
there is no ground of public policy
upon which such law can rest,
and that the State should not under
take the business of securing en-
ployment for any class of citizens
unless some benefit recurs to the
public by such an undertaking.

Justice to the Veteran.
lex erpts from the Memorial address of Judge
Chas. Smith at ElSw orth.

Here for a moment | must be
practical, and on subject that has
pressed itself upon me with great
and increasing force for some years.
God forbid that | should mention
money as a reward and compensa-
ton TO the soldier for the supreme
act of patriotism, laying his life up
on the altar of his country's cause!
That credit, money cannot measure,
and money cannot liquidate. Let it
stand as the lasting and charging
debt of the present and of posterity
to heroic patriotism SO long as the
United States of America shall have
a place among the nations of the
earth. Deprived of the pleasures,
the treasures of 'life's early MORN"
deprived of the society of family
and friends, sweeter than heaven;
often preyed upon by disease; suf-
fering from wounds; and again and
again standing face to face with the
King of Terrors, the vereran patriot
makes no complaint and asks for
no recompense. There is, however,
score that justice, the merest cold
Justice, demands, and every Ameri-
can citizen worthy of the name
should insist shall be paid. 1t is
the debt that arises from the fnan-
cial loss that the soldier suffered by
reason of his service.
When the young man disengaged
himself from the business he was
establishing himself in, or gave up
his preparation for his life calling,
whether at school or apprenticeship,
he discounted his prospect of finan-
cial success in life more than we
can measure. The years of youth
and early manhood, buoyant with
confidence, exultant with hop e, rich
in the sympathy, encouragement
and assistance that all men instinc-
lively give to the young, come but
once; a plan annulled, purpose
surrendered, an ambition quenched,
a hope deferred, impair the power of
purpose, subdue the spirit fine,
discount the man as force in the
struggle of life; he can never be the
same again. THE mill will never
grind with the water that's gone
by"
Further: except in very exception
al cases the soldier came back to
US much older than his years, his
vital forces heavily drawn upon, his
powers, his capacity to earn money,
if you please, to that extent impair

Gollmar Bros. This Season

The greatest of American shows!
Always an event of more than pass
ing interest is that form of enter
tainment which appeals most gener-
ally to the public. The Circus and
the Gollmar Bros. this year bring it
to its highest expression. It is an
accepted fact that the exceptional
and most artistic in &C. and feature
has always held the ascendancy in
their exhibitions and whatever of
novelty has been procurable has
been found in the program of the
the Greatest of American Shows
from season to season. And in 1907
this fact will be most clearly noted
for "thrillers, new enough, novel
enough and sufficiently daring to
engender the highest emotional
excitement has been secured. In
the arena new European families
will thrill, dazzle and delight the
audience in what is far and away
the most sensational danger-defy-
ing and expert aerial act ever shown
in America, closely calling the
world renowned Flying Nelson's, in
their new casting, and return ex-
ercise in which the stoical people
gamble with destiny and dare death
in the performance of deeds which
make the hazardous loop the loop
and loop the gaps, with which most
readers are familiar, look by con-
trast like parlor game of ten
pins. There are over 100 new ring
acts and in feature and exercise the
new Grand Enrtees will present a
magnificent spectacle. The hippo
drome will introduce scores of new
races and stunts and 80 of the most
celebrated clowns, testers and COM
iques will furnish side-splitting di-
vertisement for the entertainment of
the audience. A magnificent col
lection of wild animals will be on
exhibition in the managerie and a
monster herd of elephants with the
smallest baby of its kind in captiv-
ity. Remember the day and date,

Awards in Beauty Quest.

Next Sunday, July 7, the Milwau-
kee Sentinel will announce the final
awards made by the judges in the
American Beauty Quest which has
engaged the attention of the read
ers of twenty-seven metropolitan
newspapers of the country during
recent months. Handsome half
tone portraits of the young women
honored by the judges will be pub
lished, as we'll as sketches and per-
sonal descriptions of the subjects.
Since the result of the Wisconsin
quest was made known, compari-
sons have been made from week to
week by the people of Wisconsin
between Miss Gabrielle Worsley,
declared the most beautiful woman
in this state, and the women who
have won the honors elsewhere. No
little qualification was felt over the
fact that Wisconsin's representative
was among the six whose portraits
were published June 80, and from
whom the judges will select the one
most beautiful of all. To be one of
the six most beautiful women Sc
lected from so many thousands is
in itself an honor, and one which
the people of Wisconsin fully ap-
preciate. How Wisconsin-will fare
in the final apportionment of awards
remains to be seen, and interest is
naturally aroused to high pitch.
Another point of special interest is
by The Sentinel to the Chicago Tri-
bune, after the latter has made the
claim that Della Carson, the most
beautiful woman in Chicago, sur
passed in charms any other woman
in America. Out of this challenge
the American beauty quest develop
ed, but there is still great and
natural interest as to which of these
two women excels the other. AS
both appear in the group of six Sc
lected as the lest among the twenty
seven f1rst-prize winners of the yari-
Gus states, the question can not be
determined until the detailed deci-
sion of the judges is made known.
This will be officially announced
next Sunday, as we'll as the first
five awards in the national quest.
