LABOR DAY
A PROCLAMATION BY
THE GOVERNOR.

Madison.-By authority Of law, /,
j. o. Davidson, governor of the state
of Wisconsin, hereby designate Mon
day, Sept. 5, as Labor day.
AS the world advances in know9-
edge and virtue the labor of the use
ed Our forefathers,. who laid the
foundation of our national govern
ment, struck a blow at slavery and
aristocracy when they proclaimed the
doctrine that "ali men are born free
and equal" What is needed for the
betterment Of the toiler's condition IS
education: correct knowledge Of
rights ard duties, a closer union and
sympathy with one another and due
regard for the interests of the man
or firm or corporation that gives
them employment The workman
and employer should be friends, not
enemies, and any differences between
them should be adjusted by arbitra-
ton, and not by violence.
Our political system is broad
enough to furnish means to peaceably
redress every grievance, and the stu
dents among the toilers should bend
their thoughts to devise means for
amicable and peaceable solution or
labor problems. Idleness is waste, de-
struction Of property is waste, and
the loss falls ultimately upon society,
the larger part Of which is made up
of men and women who toll
That the day may be properly OBJ
served, and that the motive which
DrOmpted its establishment NAV he
advanced, l recommend that all in
dustrial institutions generally sus-
pend operations, and that, so far as
possible, employers and employees
alike, join in the celebration of La,
Dor Day.

STATE WILL VOTE
ON AMENDMENTS
PROPOSITIONS TO CHANGE CON-
STITUTION BEFORE PEOPLE
IN NOVEMBER.
STOP STATE CENSUS TAKING
Also Planned to Raise Pay of Legis-
Iators and to Make Money Avail
able for Conservation
Plans.

Madison.-Three amendments to
the constitution will be submitted to
the voters of the state at the Novem-
Der election, one to do away with the
decennial census and providing that
the apportionment of legislative dis
tricts shall be made upon the basis
of the enumeration by the national
government; one providing that
compensation Of members of the leg
islature shall be $1,000 instead Of
$500; and third which authorizes
the state to appropriate moneys for
the purpose of acquiring, preserV-
ing and developing the waterpowers
and forests of the state.
The constitutional provision for
the enumeration of population re-
qUires that it be made every ten
years, and the ten-year period falls
just five years after the decennia1
census by the national government.
The original constitutional pro-
vision for the compensation of mem
bers of the legislature was that each
should receive $3.50 per day and 10
cents per mile, going and coming
by the most usual route. IN 1901
the constitution was amended pro-
viding that the pay should be $3.50
per year, with the 10 cents per mile
In 1881 the pay was again increased
to $500 per year.
The third proposal to be submit
ted is to amend section 10 of article
VIII of the constitution. This pro-
vision is, in effect, that the state
shall contract no debt for works of
internal improvement or to be a
party to the carrying on of such
work, etc.
The legislature of 1907 adopted a
resolution providing for an amend
ment to allow appropriations for the
purpose of acquiring, preserving and
developing the waterpoWer and the
forests of the state
This last proposal was not passed
upon by the last legislature, it be-
ing left over to the special session
which, it was supposed, would be
called sometime during 1910 No
special session has been called. but
Attorney General Gilbert has held
that the question should be submit
ted as originally contemplated
If no special session of the pres
ent legislature is cal1en then, no
matter what the vote is upon the
question, the amendment fails. If
there should be a special session
after the amendment is approved,
then it would be a question for the
courts to say whether the adoption
by the people should stand.

A Bernhardt Trick.

Nine Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon in one of her marvellous crea-
lions to enact the role Of a sculptor,
and to model certain bust in view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhardt
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as matter Of fact, she
does nothing Of the kind. The bust
Is modelled and baked, and over 1t is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

FARMERS NEED SIL0 FEED
Experiment Station Experts at Uni
Sersity Have Plan to Offset
Dry Season.

Madison.-As a result of the ex-
ceptionally dry weather which has
prevailed throughout the state this
season Professors G. C.. Humphrey
and F., w Vol, of the University
of Wisconsin, have been carefully in
vestigating the protection for dairy
and stock farmers in seasons of
drought. They find that soiling and
silage are the two methods of de-
Tense best adapted to the farmers
in this state and they say:
1.-The widespread drought during
the past season has brought home to
the farmers in all parts of the state
the necessity of providing summer
feed for their live stock, especially
in case the available pastures are linn
tied and dry UP quickly during pc
RODS of drought
1T has been demonstrated in dairy
sections that where silCS have been
put up and :silage is available for
summer feed that comparatively little
difficulty is experienced in maintain
ing the milk flow or keeping the
stock in a healthy and productive
condition when silage is fed to sup
p}ement what little feed the dry pas
lures may furnish, and the past sea-
son which has proved such a hard
ship in many sections will doubtless
cause large number of silos to be
built where the farmers have here
before depended only on their pas
lures for summer feeding.
The system of feeding soiling
crops to farm livestock affords an
other means Of overcoming drought
conditions and is to be recommended
where there is no silO on the farm
and it is not feasible to build one
