The C0MPULS sorry ATTENDANCE
LAW TO Be ENFORCED.

A step to enforce the compulsory at
tendance law, passed by the last state
Legislature, has been taken by Coun
ty Superintendent Larson in the case of
Richard Mathieson of the town of Two
Creeks. The law provides for the at
tendance at school of country school pu-
pills for ut least twenty four weeks in
the school year and the records show
that the three Mathieson children at
tended but three days since Christmas
time. The county superintendent had
week, charging him with neglect to COM
ply with the law and notifying him
that unless he complies with it within
five days prosecution for his failure so
to do will be begun by the district
attorney. 1t is reported that this is but
one of many cases that will be
brought by the superintendent unless
the provisions of the law are more fully
complied with. AS the fine for non OBJ
servance of the act is from five to fifty
dollars it is presumed that this action
of Mr.. Larson will have the effect of
calling to the minds Of delinquents in
this regard, the necessity of living up to
the provisions of the act. The law makes
it incumbent on the superintendent to
see that its provisisns are observed and
Mr.. Larson has no alternative except to
see that it is enforced
On Monday five other parties were
given notice that unless they comply
with the law prosecution will follow.
Two of the parties live in Liberty, one
in Eaton, one in Two Creeks and one in
KOssuth.

A farmer to day must be II thinker,

Every young man who contemplates

AN APPEAL FOR MEMBERSHIP.

The Manitowoc Branch of the Wis
consin Humane Society which was or
ganized last year, has not met with
the support that the organizers had
hoped and wished for. This was in a
measure due to the inability and i'm.
practicability of the Canvassing Com
mittee in going from house to house
canvassing for new members The Com
mittee, however, will in few days call
upon business men and ask their sup.
port in this good work
The membership fee for one year is
only one dollar tSl.0O), for children
twenty five cents (25c.)
Remember that any complaints made
to the humane Officer, Mr.. Joyce, will
receive prompt and careful considera.
ton, and the names of the complainers
will in no way be divulged or made use

of everybody to notify the Humane Of
ticer OF any case of cruelty to either
children or beasts that may come to
their notice. The Humane Officer can

ATTENDANCE. A

Everybody has had opportunity to
know what the law requires of parents
who have children between the ages of
J and Ii years A summary of the law
has been published in the county papers,
slips have been sent ont to individuals
and the matter has been discussed more
or less ever since the passage of this sta
tute, No one can, after this, say that
he had no plortunity to know what the
law is. Delinquent parents have been
reminded by the superintendent and in
many cases replies have been received
giving valid excuses for non attendance.
This matter however, cannot continue
indefinitely. The county superintend
ant has other matters to look after be
sides corresponding with negligent par
ents. When the attendance reports are
sent in by the teachers to his Office they
are checked up by the clerk and the
names OF delinquents are handed to the
sheriff who takes the matter in hand.
Should parents continue to be negligent
or refuse to comply with the law when
there is no valid excuse, the district at
torney is then required to prosecute the
delinquent.
We shall go at this matter in Il bust
ness like way. A person who will allow
his children to grow up in ignorance in
a country like ours might certainly be
classed rs an undesirable citizen and
ought to be handled without gloves 1t
IL the duty of the state To protect the
rights of the children ~ we'll rs the
rights of the grown people. The next
generation has the right to demand of
this generation training that will en-
able it to preform its duties, industrial
ly, politically, and socially The parent
who does not care for his child's mental
development but uses that child for his
own personal gain or let's him run around
as he pleases is very much like the farm
er who takes everything that he can ont
of the soil but puts nothing back. Both
of these persons, rs far as they are con-
cerned, leave the country impoverished
We can easily see what the result would
be
1t is the duty of MS who have in charge
| the enforcement of this law To be zealous
in carrying it out. 1t is not always
pleasant to do this but it is necessary.
Another thing needs to be mentioned
in this connection, If we are to com
pei children to attend school we must
provide good schools. Look at your
school hoUses. Do they need fixing up'
Are yOur children comfortable while
they are i'll SCHOOL, To compel child
TO attend school in "A poor building is
certainly not an act of patriotism
A word to the teacher. Are you max
ingit worth while for the pupils to at
tend school? Are you giving them spir-
itual food that they can digest Is your
school 80 kept that the children are
growing in character from day to day?
Is your whole mind put upon your work
and the welfare of the children
To summarize We want to have
schools that are worth while; then We
want every normal child to he in school
during these early years and receive u
training that will be absolutely neces-
sary for the young man or woman who
is to be II useful citizen in the years to
come.

SALMON AGAIN SCARCE
Famous Columbia River Fish Will
Soon Be An Extinct Breed
Unless Protected.


Ten days Of salmon fishing in the
Columbia River show the salmon sup
ply still on the wane. This is the sea-
son Of the finest salmon of the river
the best in the world. Soon these fish
will be an extinct breed. They are the
fish that made the Columbia River
famous. The few remaining specimens
should be protected with closed season.
The open season should be put off
from April Is to May Is. After that
there should be the closed Sunday and
rigid regulation of all kinds of gear
gillnets. traps, seines and wheels.
Master Fish Warden Van Dusen
quits his office May /, leaving the
industry in bad plight. 1t is too much
to say that he is wholly to blame for
this condition of affairs But the fish
faction with which he has been allied
is as much to blame as any other, and
none is more grasping and none has
defeated as much remedial legisla-
tion.-From the Oregonian, April 27th,
1908.
The United States Bureau of Fish
cries has fora long time been
endeavoring to secure just such
remedial legislation as is being OBJ
jected to by the lower river interests.
A short time ago Secretary Strauss, OF
the United States Department OF Com
merce and Labor, set forth list of
things necessary to save the industry.
Initiative bill-No. 31sX yes-was
framed to carry out his ideas. We
commend it to your favorable con-
sideration.
