PARKS FOR GOVERNOR
Mineral Point Democrat May Be
Named for the High Office
of State Executive
ROBERTS AFTER II. A. COOPER

Byron Parks, q prominent attorney
of Stevens Point, well known through
out the state, can have the nomination
for governor on the Democratic ticket
should he desire to be candidate.
Friends Of Mr.. Parks have been quietly
at work for the past few weeks among
the Democrats of the state, and they
have found that in every city. county,
town or village where they have dis
cussed the gubernatorial campaign that
Mr. Parks will receive excellent sup
port should he enter the race. In fact,
it is claimed, that should Mr. Parks
decide to become a candidate he would
have no opposition and that John A.
Awkward of Madison, who was the Dem
ocratic candidate in 1906 and who has
been mentioned as possible can
didate this year, would withdraw in
favor of the Stevens Point attorney.
Mr.. Parks has taken an active part
in campaigns in the state, but has never
sought state office. This year possibly
he will be forced to become a candidate
for governor and he will receive the sup
port of the Democratic party and pos
sibly the support of many Republicans.
Mr. Parks is recognized as one of the
most able attorneys in the state and
man exceptionally well fitted to occupy
the most important position of chief
executive of the state of Wisconsin.
A year ago Sheriff D. Elmer Roberts,
of Racine, announced that he would in
1908 be q candidate at the primaries for
the Republican nomination for member
of Congress from this district to sue
coed Congressman H. "a. Cooper. At
the time it was believed by many that
Sheriff Roberts was joking but Wednes-
day he again announced his candidacy
and declared that he would be candi-
date at the primaries and would within
a short time carry his campaign into
every county in the district and that
men in these counties were ready to
circulate his nomination papers.
With the entrance of Sheriff Roberts
into the congressional race there will be
a three-cornered fight for the RepubH-
can nomination for member of congress
from this district as Congressman Coop
er is certain to again seek the nomina-
tion and 7. E. Nolan of GAINESVILLE will
no doubt be a strong candidate.

ALLIANCE PROGRAM

Two Interesting Papers Form the Sub
ject of Discussion
The program meeting of the Alliance
of Simmons Memorial Church for the
month of April brought to the atten-
ton of its members and guests a promi-
nent movement in the religious world,
by the work of Dr. Camp
bell, of the City Temple, London The
press has made frequent comments on
his work, a recent article in the Chica-
go Record Herald announcing that DR..
Campbell proposes to form new sect.
in which the ideas for which he stands
in religion may have free expression.
There is no evidence that this state
ment is correct; but the interesting
personality Of Or. Campbell, and the
ideas he presents, which SO many Of his
hearers have found startling, were well
presented in a paper by Mrs. Fred
Purdy.
The growth Of liberal ideas was clear
" shown in a thoughtful paper by Mrs.
Mary D. Gaastra. She cited the in
crease of liberal ideas within the
churches, the modern movements to-
ward philanthropy and reform, the in
creasing consideration that is given to
old world religions, as evidence of such
growth
Two subjects, both of practical inter
est, remain to be considered in the pres
ent season IS work; some efforts to help
the negro, at the May meeting, and set
Element work for children, in June.
The meetings are always held on the
last Tuesday of each month, in the
social rooms of Simmons Memorial
church.

Entertainment at the Congregational
Church a Great Success
( From Friday IS Daily,

(From Friday Is Daily)
The Old District School given last
evening in the concert room of the
Congregational Church and for the
benefit of its Boys Brigade company,
drew an audience that packed the large
room, filed the adjacent parlors and
the hall way. For ain hour and three
quarters the audience absorbed wit and
wisdom from the charming set of boys
and girls who, under the able instruc-
ton Of Mr.. Abijah simpkins, make
this model school for the guidance
of the more modern schools Of our day
1t was evident that Prof. Simpkins was
a first class diseiplinarian. Every part
was well taken and every one having
part deserves much credit for the great
success of the evening Is session of the
school in Pumpkinville.

sTEN0GRAPHERs IN DEMAND
State Civil Service Commission to Ofel
3 Chance for stendgraphers in Madison

State Civil Service Commission to Offer
. Chance for stendgraphers in Madison
The state Civil Service Commission
finds it difficult Is fiji vacancies ia the
state service on account of the small
number of available candidates.
The demand for stenographers is in
creasing ana at present is greater than
the supply
La the state steuographic examination
held August q, 1907, 102 stencgraphers
made application, s. appeared at the
examination and SIS passed
February IA and Is, 1903 another
state stenographic examination was
held. 80 applied, 66 were examined and
81 passed
At the present date, April 81, 1908,
the eligible list for positions paying
from $40 to $55 month is nearly ex-
hausted and another examination must
be held soon.
The majority of the stenographic Pc
sition in the state service pay salaries
of from $35 to $50 a month, and it is
for filing these positions that there is
a scarcity of candidates.
The stenographic profession, from a
money point Of view, seems a desirable
one to enter, as there are SO few steno-
graphers who are willing to enter the
state service under $50 a month.
First class stenographers seem to
have no trouble in finding remunerative
employment.

Effort Being Made To Organize
q Company To Take Over
Visible Plant Here
VALUABLE PATENTS SOUGHT
Chicago Men Said TO Be willing to
Pool Interests in An Effort to Con
tinue Manufacture of Type
writers at Keaosha

An effort is being made to bring
about the reorganization Of the Visible
Typewriter Company and it Is stated on
pretty good authority that the Pleasant
street plant-the scene of SO many fail
ures may yet be used for the manufac-
ture of typewriters. Men in Chicago,
who have been forced 10 take an inter-
est in the company on account of The
recent fndncial embarrassment are be-
hind the plan for the reorganization
and these men seem to think that II
they can control the patents held by the
bankrupt company the plant could be
made one which would pay big divi-
dends. 1T is stated, however, that the
Reorganization of the company will not
take place until after the settlement of
the present bankruptcy proceedings. 1t
is thought that these will be closed up
within a few weeks and the creditors
given their first which may be their only
dividend. An effort is now being made
to convert all of the assets of the de-
funct company into cash and as soon as
this is done the money will be paid to
all creditors The expense Of the bank
ruptcy proceedings has been large and
as the assets were not nearly as large
Jas the liabilities the possibility of the
creditors getting any big dividends is
very remote.
1T is stated that S. Wollheim who has
been the president and general manager
of the company will not be connected
with the company if the reorganization
lis a success.
Attorney A. 2. Buckmaster, who has
been the attorney for the bankrupt
company for some time, when asked to-
day in regard to the reorganization
stated that such a plan had been pro
posed, but that he was not in position
ait this time to give out any details of
the proposed plan ''There will be
nothing done, said the attorney until
after the settlement of the affairs Of
the company in the United States Court
I am not at liberty to give out the
names of the men proposing this re-or-
ganization, but I understand that they
are Chicago men who would be in a
position from a financial standpoint to
build up the industry. I do not know
how soon the bankrutcy proceedings will
be at an end, but this is being rushed
along as rapidly as possible.
1T is claimed that several of the great
distributing merchandise establishments
in Chicago are anxious to secure for the
trade a typewriter similar to the one
manufactured at the Kenosha plant and
Il is said that these men believe that
this machine can be manufactured at a
profit. The machine was handled by a
number of these companies before the
company failed and it is thought posi-
BILE that these large companies will pool
interests and take up the manufacture
Of the machines 1t is thought that the
new company would be able to purchase
both granted and pending patents of the
old company at a very advantageous
price. Such a deal would also be an aid
to the creditors of the Wollheim con.
Germ as the sale of the patents is ex
pected to net quite sum for the credi.
tors.

OBSERVE SUNDAY
Less Work to be Done Sundays is Plan
of State Association


The Sunday rest association is plan
ming to make a strong campaign in a
quiet way in this state to secure a more
universal observance of Sunday through
the means Of legislative enactment.
The Rev. Joseph B. Davidson Of Mil
waukee, head Of the Sunday Rest AS
ISOLATION, has been in Madison a, good
deal lately gathering statistics regarding
the number employed in Sunday work,
and after these statistics are obtained
efforts will be made to pick out those
employees whom they think can be laid
off Sunday, and an effort will be made
to secure statistics which will ensure
work not being done in these lines.
Steam railway train service viii be
one Of the matters looked into by the
association and the Sunday Rest peo-
pie feel confident that some changes
here can be arranged so as to ensure. at
least one days rest in seven for men
employed in the work
The statistics now being gathered
will be used before the legislature by
the association in its campaign and
members of the association believe that
the association will go before the legig-
lature better equipped from the statis-
teal standpoint in support of the legis-
lation it demands than ever before.

NO PROFANITY IN CITY COUNCIL
Chicago Aldermen Horrifed at Report
of Prevalence in Kenosha

VI E46Vd1euc6 III h6n0Sna
Chicago aldermen only smiled in a
superior way when they read this morn
ing of how Mayor Matthias ]. scloley,
brewery agent and executive of Keno
sha, Wis, had declared he no longer
would allow council members to indulge
in profanity during their deliberations.
What an awful state of affairs, y
said Milton J. Foreman, with Mortified
gesture. Take Chicago aldermen. The
refined and highly cultivated gentlemen
composing our council would scorn to
do anything 50 ungentlemanly as use a
bad word in a public meeting. Our
meetings are more like gathering Of
societies for the advancement of foreign
missions than cussing bees The strong
est word ever used, even in the heated
height Of debate, is Pif1e or something
like that. Why even when an alderman
wants to call another a prevaricator.
he merely says he has made statement
that man DESTROYS Of strict adherence
to the truth would have avoided. They
must have some wicked men in Keno
sha.-Chicago News.

Saloons Ousted and Mayor
Quits Office.

Mattoon, H., April 30.-In ac-
cordance with his statement,
made four weeks before the local
option election, which was held
April Z, that he would resign if
Mattoon voted out its nineteen
saloons, Mayor Lew $. lehman
rendered his resignation last night
and it was accepted.
In his statement Mayor Leh-
mann took the stand that without
the $40, 900 derived from the
saloon licenses the finances of the
city would be so impaired that it
would be impossible to carry out
various improvements, and in as
much az he had accepted the nomi-
nation and was elected by an over
whelming majority "a year ago on
platform that called for improve
ments, he believed he could not
carry out the wishes of the people
The retiring mayor is widely
known AS a politician. He is not
friendly to saloons, but considered
this an inopportune time for Mat
toon to get rid of them. A speeia
election will be held to choose hil

Pension Of Blind Unconsti-
tutional.

Worthy blind people of Ohio
have again had their hopes of a
pension shattered.
Two years ago the general
assembly passed law providing
for the payment by the counties
of S25 quarter TO the support of
each blind person. But the consti-
tutionality of the law was attack
ed and the supreme court decided,
in case brought down from Lucas
county, that the law was not good,
for the reason that it appro-
priated public money for private
purpose.
An attempt was made by the
present assembly to remedy the
defect and law was enacted that
it was supposed avoided the un-
constitutional features of the
former law. I an opinion render
ed to w. l.. David, prosecu-
ting attorney of Hancock couu-
ty, Attorney General Ellis holds
that the second law (the Harper
bilD is unconstitutional. The
attorney general says that in order
to make the law good the bene-
ficaries must be limited to persons
who are without means of support.
They must come clearly within
the classification of dependents,
must be public charges.
This is the feature of the bill
that the blind persons have sought
to avoid. They did not desire to
be known as paupers, but the
attorney general rules that unless
they are such they cannot avail
themselves of the provisions of
the new law.
