This is al opportunity to visit these glorious scenes that should not be missed by anyone.

Joke Was on MlnIeier.

A laughable incident is told of a dis unguished Massachusetts clergyman who thought he had a point for ser mon. One day he walked through the local soap works. and. after having had explained to him some of the in tFicscies of saponihcation, asked the foreman how he aduiterated his goods Thinking t was all in jest. the fore man gave his elaborate explanation of various mythical ways of substituting marble for soap. The next Sunday the soap manufacturer himself was at church, and had the pleasure of lis tening to a wrathful sermon about aduiterstIon. especially of soap. The poor man had a dreadful time convinc- ing the minister of his error, and then 1t was the ministers turn to feel sheerish.

How La Toilette Made Fo ks Bank Deposits
 Safe And Their Insurance Cheap in Wisconsin
Some Wonderful Things While He Was Governor Bob Not the Least Being Real Civil Service Law Taking State Employees Out of Potics-Quck Tells About in This Article Written Especially For the Imes-Leader

nor of Wisconsin. He called a spe-
 cial session of the legislature to deal with the interests of Wisconsin policy
 holders. From that era dates the growth of Wisconsins great insurance | code. Under it companies operating in Wisconsin cannot use more money
 for expenses than they collect for that , purpose-and this killed at blow all those companies formed just to pay salaries for their organizers.
 The amount of premiums are regu- lated by law and must be based on a reasonable proportion of the benefits promised in the policy.
 This law has cut down the cost of insurance in Wisconsin to new policy holders as much as S5.54 a year per thousand of insurance.
 This does, not seem dangerous" to | the people of Wisconsin
 Companies doing business in Wiscon- sin are required to keep their books so the assured can tell year by year what his policy has earned for him they can wait until the policy ma lures and then apportion to him what they may happen to have left. Sal aries in Wisconsin mutual companies are limited to $25.000 year. Plain
 statements must be given bv all com panies, on request of the state of the
 accounts on the company's books. Stock life insurance companies had iAAiiAOioO SuI1IS IlOuSy-lu6lI pIuS accounts-remember how the last life insurance agent to work you spoke proudly of his. company's surplus? They always do. They speak as if this sur plus would become the personal prop erty of the DO icyholder as soon as the policy was issued.
 'sWell," said Gov. Bob, 'let,s, see l who it does belong to- So law provided that no stock company could have its license, renewed in Wiscon- sin unless it filed a declaration tel.- ing who the surplus belonged to-pol- icyholder or stoclSholder. Anything wrong about that, brother?
 One company withdrew from Wis consin-and has since given half a
 million of the surp us to its stockhoId- CTS. The Wisconsin insurance de- partment foresaw just this--it simply 1 said to the companies: Tell your pol | icyholders the truth about it.'' | Insurance is on a better basis in the state than ever ' less disappointment and less waste in lapsing policies. Some new things are ~doing in the state.
 The state has gone into. the life in surance business in a small way The
 companies hate that, like poison-but why should we, the people,. hate it? Labor legislation in Wisconsin is the subject of Quicks next article. 4

 Al First Meeting
Socialist Alderman Introduces Two Resolutions in Com
 mon Council

Alderman Fred Cederholm, the lone Socialist in the Common Council got busy with the first meeting of that l body last night and introduced two resolutions of more than passing sig nificance.
 One calls for the abolition of poli- tics from police and fire departments, and other departments in which the boards have the selection of import ont offices. and the placing of these l departments upon a civil service basis.
 The other calls for the direct elec- | ton of salderme en chosen to fill un- expired terms, to do away, the reso- lution explains with the bartering of elective offices for remun efative posi- l tions. The latter resolution makes
 sure of it's purpose when it prohibits
 any alderman from accepting a re-
 munerotive city position during the
 term for which he shall have been | elected.
 I The resolutions of the Socialist al- derman follow:
 | Whereas sections Ss and 89 of the city charter of. the city of Bridge
 provide, that it shall be the duty of
 the fire commissioners and the police
 fit and suitable persons as members and officers of the fire department
 and police department, and said
 boards are instructed to adopt rules | anu res SuldtlOuS TOT dScerta1n1ng the 1 fitness and suitableness for all applI-

 tie or no regard Is paid to this provi- 1 sion of the city charter, and the ap.
 pointments and promotions are made strictly upon political basis instead l of upon basis of merit and efficiency and
 l Whereas, this inefficient and un- l democratic method of making ap-
 pointments and promotions has long been discarded in we'll governed American cities and.
 l Whereas the present method in
 vogue in the city of Bridgeport tends

BY HERBERT QUICK.
(Editor of Farm and F'ireside.)

(Editor of Farm and F1reSlde.)
 The most important thing, perhaps, about the wonderful La Toilette era in Wisconsin is the, hardest to attract attention to. And yet most men should be interested in banking and insurance.
 The insurance and banking laws of Wisconsin under the La Toilette re- gime have been made over. What was this man, so widely advertised until recently as dangerous" done?
 One of the first things he did was to provide for efficiency in the state government by civil service law. He needed the patronage bitterly-as a politician; for he had no money and his enemies had oceans it. As . statesman, he gave up the offices for the sake of a civil service law which placed all appointive state officers on a merit system with competitive ex- aminations.
 Other states have similar laws, but the wisconsin law is the real thing. It even goes so far, as to put the em- ployes of the legislature under civil service. Before this law was passed, It cost Wisconsin $433 day to run the legislature-$4S3 of political pap. The Insurgents threw it all away for the sake of good government in accord ance with Gov. La Follettes recom- bitterly accused of using these offices for political purposes.
 In six years the civil service com mission has examined 12.000 people. It audits annually accounts to the amount = s1 ,00O, 900. The average daily ex- ter was $463.34. Kansas bleeds to the tune of $5S6 a day. What's left of Oregon's legislature costs $6S5 a day. Mir. Hines legislature in Illinois cost the state $981.N per diem-(what It cost Hines is problematicaD. Minneso- <~ 1o icl lof frypo Iowa for hers $71S a day. Maryland ex- pends $1.465 a day for the Maryland brand of laws. y %
 wisconsin. with her civil service law, gets the Wiscinsin kind of Legislation at an expense of only $zss-56 day. The to be understood as saying that Wis consin's government is cheap. It isn't It's an expensive government. But 1t does things, and does them economi- cally and cheap1y. And that brings me to banking and insurance.
 Tn Wisconsin national banks fail sometimes they say, but state banks never. La Toilette, be 1t understood is the man whom Mckinley offered to make comptroller of the currency. His regime has placed on the statute books Of Wisconsin by amendment and new enactment laws establishing a bank ing commission and providing for bank inspection under which not a dollar of a depositor's money has ever been lost.
 The bankers like it. The depositors like it. It is a land of good state banks and good state bankers. The law authorizes banks to form mutual insurance company to protect deposi- tors, and the bankers are at work ou if in the true Wisconsin way-the La Toilette way-slow but sure. It wi not be long until Wisconsin will have . bank insurance system without fuss or feathers which will be proof against everything except a cataclysm. And this brings us to insurance.
 We all remember the insurance scan- dals of 1905 La Toilette was gover-
