The fact that the least accident to

Every time the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture meets they introduce a measure
to discontinue the publication of the
laws at the close of the session in
the weekly newspapers. Without re-
ference to the fact that we publish a
weekly newspaper we have always
believed that our readers took great
interest in preserving these supple
ments and reading the laws that were
passed by the legislature. If this
is true, and we believe it is, the peo-
pie of the state would object very
strongly to the legislature. curtailing
expenses by failing to publish the
laws through the weekly press of the
state II the legislature desires to
economic there are many ways that
they can do so without taking this
method, The publication of the laws
in the weekly press of the state is
practically the only way the people
have of judging what their represen-
tatiyes in that body have been doing.
We believe if the legislature is wise
they viii not attempt to curtail ex-
penses by leaving the people of the
state ignorant of the passage of the
laws.

The newspaper men of the State of
Wisconsin all of whom are friends of
the Hon w. d. Hoard of Fort Atkin-
son will be surprised when they read
his letter of resignation as a member
OF the Board of Regents. He has al
ways been highly thought of, and is
yet, but his letter written to the Gov
ernor is certainly not true to the ma
ture of w. D. Hoard as we used to
know him. The first reason given for
his resignation is undoubtedly true
to the facts but the second reason is
certainly rather far fetched. We are
glad to know that Governor McGovern
has been charitable enough to receive
his resignation in the right spirit and
not allowed the reason given to dis
turb him Mr. Hoard is certainly mis-
taken in charging the Governor with
political intentions in the appoint
ments thus far made in the State
Board of Regents. If our friend Mr..
Hoard will stop and mediate little
and take an inventory of his actions
in political matters during the past
two years he will find that he has
been very strongly partisan from a
Stalwart standpoint. This was his
privilege but he should not Judge 9th

While yet an infant his parents
moved to Kilbarchan where he was
raised to manhood. He lost his ia
Their at the age of years. At the

and Wood county an old settler who
was highly respected and thought of
by everybody that has enjoyed his
acquaintance. He was a member of

he had always been an efficient work
er. He possessed those sturdy char
acteristics of the pioneer that were
greatly admired by those who knew
him best He possessed a Chris
tan character that is greatly to be
admired and should be emulated. He
leaves a wife, daughter and one son,
John Granger, with whom he resided
at the time of his death. The daugh-
ter Mrs. E. L. Forbes resides at Web
ster, South Dakota, and will come
home to attend the funeral.
