MddiSOn'S Handsome
Bank Building
The First National Bank Build
ing is Completed.

lnere Is an ola saying tllat all
things come to him who waits,
and this has proven true as to
the officials Of the First National
Bank, After many months in
which the contractors had to con-
tend with various unseen and
unpreventable mishaps, the beau
tiful Bank building on the corner
of Range and Rutledge Streets
is at last completed. The archi-
tect, Mr.. w. B. Camp, of Jack
sonville, Florida, who has so
faithfully and efficiently superin-
tended the construction, has ac-
cepted the building and the bank
has been moved from its old
quarters into its new home.
The building is not only beau
tiful and commodious but is a
credit to Madison, as well as to
the corporation, which has built
it. The outside architecture is
Corinthian in style, and with its
large pillars in front Of the door,
on Range Street, makes a beau
tiful and imposing appearance.
1t is built Of glazed buff brick
with stone trimming and copper
cornice.
The entire building is a hun
dred feet in length and twenty b.
five feet in width. The front
seventy-five feet is taken up en-
tirely by the Bank room. which
is beautifully finished with red
mahogany, marble wainscotine
and beautiful tiled floor, On the
right as sou enter, is a small
room, specially set aside for the
lady patrons of the Bank, which
is entered from the vestibult
with another door leading int
the main room Of the Bank. Or
the left is the office Of the Presl
dent. and Vice.President, will

bule and into the open Bank

apply himself diligently TO the pro-
duetion of the given crops. Sea
Island cotton will yield one-hall
bale per acre on an average If given
proper care. A bale weighs about
800 pounds, Whcn it's known that
the price Of this kind Of cotton has
varied from 25c 10 9jc per pound
Tor several years, It is readily seen
that it can be made to become G
vorv profitable crop. Corn has been
grown here at the rate of one hun.
dred bushels 10 the acre, though the
average is much below that. OF all
forage crops the velvet bean is prob
ably the best adapted to local condi-
tlons. Few actual tests OF the yield
Of tLis lcgume have been made. as
the crop ls seldom harvested, AS a
usual thing cattle and hogs are
turned in on the beans in the fall
and allowed to do their own harvest
ing. which they do with great plea
sure. Twenty to thirty bushels Of
beans and three or four tons Of dry
forage per acre is thought to be an
! ordinary yield. Certain il is that
for the amount OF labor required to
proddce it, there are few crops that
can beat the velvet bean when grown
either by itself or with corn or
sorghum, Sugar cane will average
eight or ten barrels Of syrup TO the
acre. Sweet potatoes have been
grown at the rate of six hundred
bushels per acre, while yield of two
o. three hundred bushels is quite
common. The yields Of tobacco
have varied from eight hundred tC
eighteen hundred pounds per acre
This is tue highest grade OF tobacco
and is used for cigar wrappers, con

THE PRIMARY
RESPONSIBLE
Political Evil in Wisconsin
Began With Advent of
Primary

Milwaukee. Wis. Oct. 12.-Politi-
cal evils in Wisconsin began with the
advent Of the primaries as a means
of nominating public officials, accord
ing to Levi H. Bancroft, attorney gen.
eral of the state. who testified before
the senatorial committee which is in
vesttgating the election of United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson.
Bancroft was called to explain what
he did with $3.50: which was paid him
out of the s107.793 Stephenson cam
paign fund He declared that the
money. paid him while he was can
dfdate for assemblyman, was not used
to further his own interest but was
expended entirely in Senator Stephen
sons behalf while the latter was seek
ing nomination for the senatorship at
the primaries in 1908. Referring to
the fact that Senator Stephenson fail
ed to make detailed account of his
expenditures other than that certain
sums were paid to individuals. Ban
croft said 1t was his opinion that the
corrupt practices act did not require
a detailed account of what each man
spent.

all came about since we got the prim-
aries. and now there's nothing but
political evil"
AS for the money he had received
Bancroft said he spent it as fas as pos
sible for he was glad to be rid of it,
You never heard of any money be-
ing used corruptly in the election Of
Mr.. Stephenson? asked Chairman
Hepburn.
Never cent. Senator Stephenson

cation in this state until he got into

testified that out Of $1,199 he has re-
ceived $5$5 went for chewing gum
Asked what he did with the chewing
gum Weyland said:
why gave it to young women. 1t
was good argument to win them
over"
Interpreting the Wisconsin law re-
lative to campaign expenditures
which J. ]. Blaine who brought the
charges against Senator Stephenson
had declared prohibited the handing
by candidates of any money over to
campaign managers Senator Hepburn
announced it was his opinion that
such a construction would interfere
with the constitutional right of citi-
zens to participate in the selection of
their representatives in congress. 1t
was his opinion that the Wisconsin
law did not contemplate such a pro-
hibition.
The committee sent a request to the
state authorities at Madison. Wis,
asking for all papers used in the pre-
vious investigations by the legislature
of the Stephenson charges. w. L.
Essman custodian Of the papers, said
that the papers had ben put in two
boxes. On coming to Milwaukee to-
day he reported that one of the boxes
was missing. He was unable to say
until he examined such papers as he
had. what documents were missing.
1t is believed from now on about
ten witnesses will he examined daily
and the investigation speedily will be
concluded.

TALKED ALASKA
President and Governor Clark Con.
ferred on Territory.

ASAICu Ou 1CiiltOry.
Tacoma. Wash. Oct. 12.-After a
conference between President Taft
and Governor Clark of Alaska the
governor said he was urging on the
president the special needs of Alaska.
Governor Clark said he did not care
to enter into the controversy over the
Alaska coal lands. which he believed
would be settled satisfactorily.
Six needs of the territory were urg-
ed by the governor:
Quarantine laws; sanitary code;
laws governing banks and banking;
record of vital statistics covering
births, marriages and deaths; laws for
the relief of destitute white people;
particularly where men are injured; !;
compulsory school laws.
On the question of home rule, Gov
ernor Clark said Alaska is not ready
for it, as the territory could not raise
sufficient revenue to run the country
without federal aid
AS to Congressman Sulzer's recon-
mendation for division of Alaska in
to districts. Governor Clark said there
is territory enough, but not enough
people.
