THE action of the governor of Ten
nessee in saving, from Imprisonment,
by the interposition of his pardon, a
man who had committed most brutal
murder, and whose sentence had been
confirmed by the supreme court, will
unquestionably arouse a feeling of re-
sentiment throughout the nation. The
crime was more than local, the victim
having been former United States
senator and a man of fine ability and
character. He was deliberately assas-
sinated on the street because he diff
tered with his slayer on moral and
political question, and in the warm
campaign and discussion some harsh
things had been said on both sides. The
Southern idea of honor having de-
manded that the grievance should be
redressed in blood, it was not wholly
unexpected that the governor, who was
a party to the issue and an enemy of
the murdered man, should freely par
don his slayer Governor Patterson's
pardon is undoubtedly the most out
rageous defiance of equity and decency
that has been presented to the country
in a long time.

A Grand Old Play.

'tMonte Cristo, king of melodramas,
will be the bill at Royal hall on Tues
day evening, April 26. 1t will be the
we'll known Fred G. Conrad production
as arranged by Eugene Moore, one of
the best of modern Monte Cristos. The
fame of this great play is we'll merited,
for it is most impressive dramatiza-
ton of one of the most brilliant stories
ever written. Out of the best of all
melodramatic novels has been evolved
the greatest of all melodramas and both
story and drama have achieved a pop
ularity unparalleled in extent and vital
ity. Monte Cristo" is a play for all
classes and people of all ages. 1t is
even great play for those who cannot
hear, but can only see, so bold and fas-
cinating are all it's scenes. It's outlines
are so clear that the play can be en-
joyed by sight. Manager Conrad has
gathered company of adequate
strength and will bring his special seen
cry which has been prepared with the
benefit of several seasons experience
with this play.

Royal Italian Band Here April 2Sth.

D'Urbano's Royal Italian band of
As artists, who will be at Royal hall
Thursday evening, April 28th, is with
out question one of the finest musical
organizations of it's kind in this section
of the country, and compares favora-
bly, with the foremost bands in the
world 1t renders the classical pro-
auctions of the old masters with per-
lection of technique and comprehen-
sion of theme that appeals to all who
understand and appreciate music of the
highest order. 1t is also very happy in
the rendition of music designated as
popular" and perhaps no band in the
country is so we'll equipped to please
all classes of music lovers. The per-
sonnet of the organization is composed
of solo artists of first rank, who have
previously distinguished themselves in
the musical centers Of Europe. The
men all come from the Conservatives
of Rome and Naples, many of them
fellow students with their brilliant di-
rector. The interest in the band nat
urally centers in Signor Luigi D'Urba-
no,4a veritable wizard of the baton,
who at 20 stands as one of the great
band masters of his time He has also
won distinction as composer, his COM
positions being greatly in demand by
the best bands and orchestras in the
country. Miss Leonora Amino, So
prano soloist with the band, who has
just finished a long engagement with
the Italian Grand Opera Co. of Milan,
Italy, gives vocal solos at each concert.

CENSUS enumerators recently ap-
pointed for this district run risk of
being fined $1,000 and two years i'm
prisonment may be imposed upon any
enumeration who reveals any of the in
formation which comes to him while
acting for the government. One Of the
first things the enumeration will have to
learn is to keep secret. "How many?"
is the universal question of the census.
1t does not deal with names except as
units. Each one of the thirty-two
questions to be asked toward the end
Glow many?" Totals are only to be
used in the information that is given to

sus and very little opposition is expect
ed when the enumerators begin their
work.

THE announcements of James J. Hill

The announcements of James J. Hill
and other distinguished economists, who
insist that the only salvation of the
American people is to return to the
farm, have stimulated interest in agri-
culture in the last two months. The
amazing advertising campaign of Can
ada has drawn thousands of American
settlers into the Canadian northwest,
where they have embarked on extern
sive farming operations. The prairie
lands of the western states are attract
ing additional settlers, and there is a
general attention to the possibilities of
farm life which is wholesome and bids
fair to continue and increase. Those
who are looking with longing eyes to
the western states or who are fever
ishly figuring on the alluring promises
of the Canadian northwest, would do
we'll to consider Wisconsin's advantages
and possibilities. Why travel thou
sands of miles into strange country
when richer promise lies at your own
doors?- Milwaukee News.

IN UNFOLDING the validity of the pri-
mary election law the supreme court
also gives its views regarding the pri-
mary nomination of u. S. senators,
which it CONSTITUTES as leaving it to the
legislators to act as free as formerly
to exercise their judgment. The decis-
ion says further that the act creates
neither legal duty nor moral obliga-
ton to carry out the verdict at the pri-
mary except as it comedies with their
deliberate judgment. This decision
seems to make primary simply advis-
DRY, without placing any obligation on
the voter.

EVER since the Inauguration of Pre-.

EVER since the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Taft the government finances of
this country have been working into
better shape. The confident predictions
that the present tariff would fail as a
revenue producer have been proven fall
lacious. The deficit at the end of the
fiscal year in June will not be as large
as was expected. But while this is the
situation in the United States, Great
Britain is facing deficit of more than
$155, 900, 900, and is committed by its
pension and Dreadnaughts policies to
the difficult task of raising more than
81, 0O5, 100000 by the two budgets of
the current year. Evening Wisconsin.
