WOMEN and girls employed in stores,
offices or factories are protected by a
law which went into effect Friday and
which will necessitate much re-arrange-
ment by the managers of the business
houses, factories, etc. No law has been
enacted in Wisconsin in many years
which has caused so much re-arrange-
ment in business hours as the law now
in effect. Telegraph and telephone
companies having women and girls as
operators are hard hit by the law. In
some places these operators report for
duty at 8 o'clock in the morning and
remain until O'Clock in the evening
when they are released from their
twelve-hour day by others who work
the night shift of twelve hours. Under
the law these operators are permitted
to work but ten hours day and not
more than fifty-five hours week. AS
a result the operators cannot be ex-
pected to work Sundays as they have
in the past. Some companies plan a
solution of the problem by replacing
the women with men.

AGAIN, and finally, the Wisconsin
legislature has adjourned. We imagine
that no man or set of men is sorry, and
if the citizens escape tax-paying season
without being sorry, there will be
great rejoicing and praise to the legis-
lature that redeemed every party
pledge, good, bad and Indifferent. The
legislature was in session 185 days,
passed greater volume of laws than
at any previous term. There has been
general distrust of the outfit and its
enactments, but let us suspend judg-
ment and measure the merits of its
work by future developments. -Viro-

See us in regard to Montana prop
ositions. Central Montana is doing
wonders this year as it does every year.
There has just reached US a report of
the first job of threshing done in Mus
selshell Valley. One of our Wisconsin
men broke up 100 acres and planted it
to wheat and when the machine pulled
away from his farm he had 4, 1000 BUSH
els of wheat which he has already sold
at 81 per blu. One of our other Gus
toners will, during this, his first year
in Montana, have from SIS, 900 to $40, 900
worth of flax, 200 to 400 tons of alfalfa
worth S12 ton, and be prepared this
fall to put in 400 acres of winter wheat.
There are great possibilities in central
Montana. You can do equally as well
as our other customers have done. See
us about going out to look over these
propositions. North & Wentworth.

THE administrative feature of the
income tax law provides for the division
of the state into assessment districts,
an assessor to be appointed by the state
tax commission for each district, and
the assessors to have power to appoint
deputies. Then there is to be board
of review to hear appeals from individ-
uals, while corporations may appeal to
the state tax commission. Considering
this army of officials in connection with
the exemptions and the low rate of the
tax on incomes, there appears to be
some reason for the opinion which some
experts are expressing that the rev.
enue from the tax will not much more
than pay the cost of it's collection. But
that is not matter that concerns the
lob holders.

THE control of the Madison State

THE control of the Madison State
Journal has been sold by Amos P. Will
der, American consul to Shanghai,
China, to syndicate of friends of Sen
ator La Toilette. 1t is announced that
Richard L. Jones, former editorial
writer on Golfers, will have charge of
the editorial policy in the future and
La Follette's Weekly will be merged
into monthly publication and issued
from the Journal office. 1t is doubtless
deemed important that so ambitious a
politician as Senator La Toilette should
have in his home city journal friendly
to him-a desire he has long felt and
now about to be realized. But fet-
tered organ is often times hinderance
to aspiring politicians rather than a
benefit.

A REFORM without the frilIs of office
and f1ounces of salaries would look like
a dead pine in northern forest. No
reform is considered genuine without
its accompanying sinecures and no re-
former long remains such who cannot
think out reforms having such sine
cures. If ever we reach the stage in
our political advancement where some
good, sensible man introduces a genuine
reform without an extra office attached
we will be close to the millennium. =

In ATTEMPTING to regulate every
thing it looks as if the legislature has
overreached in quite few cases. The
law just passed which bars all children
from the stage under IA years, whether
professionals or amateurs, is believed
to put stop to the annual church and
school benefit performances where cos
tune plays are given. To bar Christ
mas entertainments was doubtless no
wise intended by the lawmakers, but it
is another example of immature and
ill-advised legislation.

EVERY legislature for a number of
years has been called upon to make a
few more judges for Milwaukee county
until they now find they have too many.
But the salaries go on just the same
while the taxpayers are toiling every
day and staggering under a tax rate
closely approximating 8 per cent yearly.

CIVIL WAR TIMES
Incidents in the Welfare of the
9th Neutrality-suspicious. of

Beaver Dam, KY, Nov. Is.

Editors Herald AS my war
story of recent date was of interest
to some of your readers, will relate
another story enacted by the Ohio
county boys on the Confederate side
of the Civil War.
After the battle OF Murfreesboro,
fought in the winter of 1862, the
Army of Tennessee retired to Tul-
lahoma. where they went into camp
for the winter, leaving the 9th Ky.
Regiment at Manchester, where we
remained till spring. Here we en-
joyed camp life fine, attending par
ties and concerts. When spring OPP
ened, our regiment, with the balance
of the brigade, was ordered out the
Murfreesboro Pike to Beech Grove,
half way between Manchester and
Murfreesboro, soon followed by
Gen. Hardin's corps, remaining
there about a month. Then 1t was
rumored that Gen. Grant had sur
rounded Vicksburg and our division
was ordered to Mississippi to rel
inforce Gen. Jackson, who was rails
ing an army at Jackson to extricate
Gen. Pemberton, whom Grant had
surrounded in Vicksburg..
So one beautiful evening in May
we were marched to Wartrace, a
station on the railroad. Gen. Breck-
enridge briefly informed us that he
was ordered with his division back
to Mississippi, but the Commanding
General informed him as the Ken
lucky boys might have a chance
some day, by remaining in Tonnes
see, to march back to their native
State, 1t would be left to us wheth-
er we go with our General or not.
1t was left to a vote of the brigade
and they voted unanimously to share
the fate of our General. We knew
there was nothing but privations
and hardships for us, so once more
we started back to the pine woods
of Mississippi. and with some of the
boys, it was the last time they ever
saw their home.
That evening we took the train,
1t being a long one, and only one
brake on it. Passing over the Cum
berland Mountains and going down
grade, the brake broke, causing a
wreck that wounded several of our
company. Andy Kirtley, Kirg Reid
and Jim Walthall were so badly
wounded that they were left at At
lanta in a hospital. Jim Walthall
never returned having died from the
effects of his wounds. After being
on the train four days and nights,
we landed in Jackson Miss, and
camped on the same ground we had
left one year before.

RICH PLUMS 60
TO DEMOCRATS
When the Next Congress
Convenes.
A PATRONAGE OF 100000
Per Year Will Throw Open
578 Jobs to Many Eager
Applicants.
SOME PIE FOR KENTUCKIANs

Washington, Feb. 1S.-When the
next Congress onvenes-whethe
in March or next December-theR Re-
publicans will turn over to the DEM
ocrats more than $1,00O,OO0 a year
in patronage. Employees of the
House to the number of SIS, now
Republicans, will be succeeded by
Democrats. The total annual salary
of these SIS is $744,333. Add to
this sum the salaries of eighty-four
secretaries of eighty-four new DEM
ocratic members at 1880 each and
the million is accounted for.
South Trimble, of Kentucky, who
will probably be the next House
Clerk, has seventy-five Offices at his
disposal-an annual salary list of
$133,99O. Among these are a chief
clerk at $4,000, a journal clerk at
$4,000, two reading clerks at s4,-
600, and seventy other employees.
Speaker Champ Clark has eigh-
teen appointees, among them a sec
rotary at $4,OOO;,.a patliamentarian
at. $4,000; a messenger at $1,000:
six reporters of debate at $1,000
each and one assistant reporter at
$4,000; four committee stenogra-
pliers at $1,000 each and an assist
ant committee stenographer at ST.
900.
The next Sergeant-at-Arms has 100
offices to fill, thirty-eight of which
are Capitol policemen, with an an
nual pay roll of $S4,665.
To the doorkeeper, who will prob
ably be Joe Sinnott, of Virginia, 211
offices, with an annual salary of
$2O3,9O5, fall as plumber. This does
not include special messengers.
1t is likely that the present blind
chaplain. the Rev. H. C. Couden,
will be retained.
In addition to these officers the
House must select thirty-nine COM
mittee clerks, 233 assistant commit
tee clerks; twenty-five session
clerks; three stenographers and for
ty-seven janitors and messengers,
all at good salaries. To the COM
mittee chairmen will fall many of
these plums.
The Kentuckians at present en-
Dloyed on the House side of the Cap
itol are: E. N. Weber, Capitol
policeman; Frank Stansbury, la
borer; w. NJ. Stevens, messenger; ].
B. Holloway, clerk, and NJ. E. Bag
ley, session clerk. The latter is also
secretary to Representative d. C.
Edwards. Next year Bluegrass cit
liens will fare far better.
