flag DAY In WISCONSIN.

Governor Davidson issued the follow
ing flag day proclamation:
In harmony with established custo,n,
and authorized by national le0is's Ion,
| recommend general observance OF
Flag Day throughout our common
wealth on Monday, June fifteenth, and
recommend that there be a general dis
play of the stars and stripes upon our
home and public buildings.
Since the observance of Flag Day
last year, another star has been added
to "Old Glory" and the admission OF
Oklahoma into the Union makes pecu-
liarly appropriate this year the com
memoration of the birthday of the
American flag. We recognize the fact
that the United States is great and
growing country, full of promise, and,
also, of realized hopes.

Sparta Senator Favors County Option.

Sparta papers are authority for the
statement that Senator H. w. Barker
will urge the enactment of laws to pro-
vide system of county option on the
saloon question and to establish a min
imum license fee of 81 900 in this state.
No doubt his county option bill will re-
ceive strenuous opposition from the
saloon interests, in view of the fact
that county option has proven disastrous
to the dram shops in all states where
il has become law.

SOME STATE POLITICAL FONTS.

"Sherbie" Becker, the late kid mayor
Of Milwaukee, announces through a
sort of humorous eonglomeration of
catchy phrases. that he will be can
didate for governor at the approaching
primaries. Although protesting to be
a republican "Sherbie" invites the
votes of 'all parties" at the primaries.
Becker is sort Of harmless big boy
who made most dismal failure as
mayor of his town, repelling from his
the respect of all who care for other
than clownish kid stunts. The young
man inherited a sack of wealth from
his grandfather. the late S. S. Merrill,
the state railroad king. His ambition
appears TO have been to ascertain the
easiest way to let go of the inherited
wealth, and in this he has scored some
what as a success. If 'Sherbie, could
but have il driven into his swelled head
howEcheap joke he is taken to be by
the people of Wisconsin he might be in
duced to go into hiding and there re-
fleet on the foolishness that has made
him the laughing stock of his once we'll
wishers.
