new WORK FOR SUPERVISORS
New Law Provides for Action by
Town Board Making Travel
Safe.

Senator Pearson calls attention to a
bill which has recently been enacted
into law. It relates to the duties of
town boards of supervisors and is as
follows:
at shall be the duty Of each board
of supervisors to establish rules and
regulations prohibiting the placing,
throwing, or derositing in, on, about,
or along any public highway and to
require the removal therefrom, of any
bodies of dead animals, carrion, meat,
fish, rubbish, ashes, paper, brick, tin
cans, old iron, junk, boxes, barrels,
machinery, and TO establish rules and
regulations to provide for the safety of
travel along any public highway"
This will make it possible to pro-
hibit the fishing from bridges, such as
the one in Glenville. Many fisher
men lined up on bridge is said to be
a source of scare for horses.

voc about so miles an hour and when
about a quarter Of mile this side of
that village, the air brakes were ap-
piled automatically and the train

investigate. But before the conductor
got off, the brakes were released and
the train started again. The conduct

When he saw that the visitors were
in earnest he submitted. The children
are aged all the way from5 to Ii years.
Herman Talbot, the oldest brother
of the children, came to Baraboo and
was in waiting at the Wisconsin
house when they reached town. There
was happy reunion.

Gustave F. Scharnke, clerk of the
village of Ableman, was in Baraboo
today and reports that it is proposed
to build about 5000 square feet of

This will be fine improvement and
add much to the value of the pro-
perty in the village.

There is good joke on some one in
connection with the Baraboo High
school graduating exercises held on
Wednesday evening. Professor E. A.
Ross of the state university was to
make an address on "Commercialism
Rampant" but he failed to appear.
Superintendent Chamberlain notified
him day or so ago in order that be
might not forget the date. When he
failed to appear the superintendent
rang up his home in Madison and
was told that the university worker
was busy making call. AS the last
train had gone and the Madison air
ships were out of commission there
was 40 way for Professor Ross to
reach the platform at Baraboo SO the
exercises were without the chief ad-
dress. All regrettedivery much that
the date was not filled as he issa splen-
did speaker and would have delivered
a fine address. The professor has
found vacant spot in his purse that
should contain the price of his intend
ed effort so the speaker as we'll as the
audience has lost. Professor Chamber
lain announced the non-arrival of the
speaker with deep regret and gave the
assurance that he had done all in his
power to have Professor Ross present.
There was large number of friends
and relatives present to see the class
take the final step in their Baraboo
education. While the audience was
assembling the undergraduates gave
vent to their pent up feelings with
few y-e-l-l-s.
The audience was greeted with
new stage, recent improvement in
the assembly room. 1t is so construct
ed that it may be removed when not
needed. The curtain and other parts
of the stage are beautifully decorated
and the whole is great improvement.
It was mainly provided by the class
graduating.
The invocation was given by Rev.
E. G. Henke, pastor of the P.esbyter-
ian church.
The Salutatory.
The Salutatory was given by Lyle
&. Clark. He extended a word of
welcome and drew a picture of the
gladiator of old. He compared the
work of the class to those who entered
the arena and said that t!.e members
were about t. commence the combat
of life-not with swords but with an
education. Possibly some may win
achievements and some may meet de-
feat and as with the conquered in the
arena-thumbs down. His address
was very splendid effort and was
received with applause.
AS gift from the class OF 1909, Miss
Alice M. Murphy then presented
beautiful statue of Augustus Caesar.
She spoke of the days of long ago
when Augustus Caesar ruled and COM
pared him to Alexander, Napoleon and
others famous on the pages of history.
She said that the original of the statue

possible. The gaining of an education
on the part of the pupil is business
proposition for the public good.
Schools owe as much to the public as
the public owes to the school. The
diploma never represents money but
work. He then spoke of too much
reading for boy or girl which makes
them dreamers but was not so sure
but that little of that was not to be
deplored. Diplomas never represent
money but hard work. He then pre-
sented each with scroll and as
the members stepped forth one by one
there was round of applause from
the audience.
A Parting Word.
Before parting Superintendent
Chamberlain said that he had enjoyed
the class of 1909 the most of any class
he ever had in his educational work.
He hoped the members would continue
to broaden and spoke of the great
.Sfces which lie about us. He@said
that the members should get in touch
with these forces that they might gain
thereby.
During the evening there were sever
al musical numbers. Miss Pearl Clark
gave piano solo, Miss Olga Reinking
sang and Miss Lily M. Andrews
played upon the violin. Miss Clark
accompanied and all the numbers
were received with applause.
Rev. John Singleton Crowder could
not be present and the invocation was
was given>by Rev. Henke.

CITY COUNCIL
CONDEMNS WALKS
MANY TlATTERS OF INTEREST
ARE CONSIDERED BY MUNICH
PAL FATHERS

1t was long drawn out session of
the city council on Thursday night.
Many matters were considered by al
most every department.
1t was decided to ask for informa-
tion concerning a municipal lighting
plant. From the situation in the dis
tance there is but little indication that
Baraboo will get light from Kilbourn
or Prairie du Sac and for that reason
it is thought best 10 begin prepara-
tions for the improvement. Firms in
terested in the construction of plants
will be invited to come and unfold
themselves as to ideas along this line.
From this preliminary step more def
mite arrangements may be made.
Concerning Streets and Walks
There was petition from % prop
erty owners on Fifth avenue against
paving the thoroughfare. 1t was placed
on file.
City Marshal Buckley reported that
during May he had collected poll tax
amounting to $1,000.
Mrs. J. E. English, r. B. Griggs
and l.. 5. VanOrden were placed on
tn library board.
The sidewalks on property owned by
the following were condemned and Or
dered thrown out.

spoke of the return of the members of
the class from time to time and that
the piece of art was not left that they
might be remem bered but as beauti-
full work Of he artist and hoped that
it would prove beneficial to those who
later might enter the school.
Miss Murphy has pleasing manner
and all enjoyed the presentation. The
gift of the class is very beautiful.
The Valedictory.
Ralph T. Runge had the highest
grade and was the valedictorian. He
spoke of the pleasant life they had en-
joyed, regretted that they could not re-
turn and referred to the problems that
they must now take up. He expressed
word of deep appreciation to all who
had made it possible for the class to
complete the work by providing the
| fine building and other advantages.
He said that the real aim of the course
of study was to teach those in the classes
to think and, as a set of tools, was
something with which to work. His
plea was for higher thoughts and drew
the comparison from the chambered
| nautilus of which the poet sings.
Mr.. Runge is forcible speaker and
was greatly applauded when be had
completed the address.
Presenting the Diplomas.
superintendent Chamberlain then
presented the class to President E. A.
Evans of the board of education that
they might receive their diplomas.
MIR. Evans said that it was a great
pleasure TO present the scrolls but that
il should be borne il mind that the
public was not so much interested in
the individual as in the school as a
whole. School houses are costly and
many sacrifices have been made by
the parents that the completion of the
course by the members might be made

Polar Sovereignty,

There will be no international compli-
cation over the question of north pole
sovereignty. 1t is true that DR.. Cook, the
first white man ever known to have
reached the point OF highest latitude, is
an American citizen and his metaphors
cal planting of the flag there constitutes
moral claim of national ownership. But
the point has been raised that DR.. Cook
was not representative of the United
States government and that, therefore,
he could not claim sovereignty over the
territory. If territory existed. But after
all this is a geographical rather than a
political question. DR.. Cook reports that
there was no land in the immediate vicin-
ity OF the pole or at the pole itself. 1t
is hard to conceive any claim of SOW
ereignty over that which does not exist
Under international law sovereignty does
not obtain at sea beyond the limit of
three miles from the land, and If at the
pole there is only a frozen ocean the
place becomes of international ownership.
neutral
The mere traversinS by an explorer Of
lands hitherto uncharted does not in
itself constitute the establishment of SOW
ereignty for the country Of which he is
citizen. Ii, as Canada claims, the lands
lying close TO the polar point are an ex-
tension of the Dominion's territory ac-
cording 10 geographical law, the British
flag would perhaps be the only appropri-
ate one to fly over them as token Of
national ownership. If, on the other
hand, this region is an extension of
Greenland or a part of the appurtenant
insular territory of Greenland. it would
be subject TO a claim of Danish SOW
ereignty inasmuch as Denmark exercises
jurisdiction over at least the southern
portion of the great island.
This question is not likely to give rise
10 any serious dispute. for, short of a
cataclysmic change of climate. no part of
the world lying above the eightieth
parallel of latitude will ever be of suf-
fcient Importance to warrant more than
a polite exchange of diplomatic notes.
Probably, in view of the strictly scientific
interest the world takes in this part of
the globe. the most sensible thing that
could be done would be to frame an in
ternational agreement declaring all lands
and waters north of the eightieth parallel
ard south of the corresponding line in the
other hemisphere to be of universal
ownership.

Baltimore's Rat War.
From the Baltimore Sun.

In pursuance of the suggested crusade
against rats, a member of the city council
will at an early date intoduce an ordi-
nance to this end. Three ways of ridding
the city of this species of rodents are
brought forward, the first being ratproof
construction, the second the cutting off OF
their food supply by requiring all garbage
to be deposited by householders in rat
proof cans, and the third by killing them
outright. OF the advisability of extermi-
mating rats there can be little question,
because they, or the f1eas on them, are
purveyors of disease. Infectious diseases
are sometimes communicated in a
mysterious manner. The mystery disap-
pears when it Is considered that rats
pass unobserved by night from house to
house, scattering feas and the disease
germs which the f1eas harbor. The value
of rats as scavengers is far outweighed
by their activity, disseminators OF
disease, to say nothing of the dam
age they do to the carefully managed
premises and the immense amount Of
foodstuffs which they consume.
