Provides for Recall.

Provides for Recall.
Tie bill would introduce into the
law provisions for the initiative, ref
erendum and recall, the lack of which
heretofore has been the chief source
the expectation that this amendment
would be passed at this session that
several Wisconsin cities recently be
gan agitation for the adoption of the
new form, and there is little doubt of
its passage.
The Gilbertson bill also proposes a
straight reduction of $1,000 in the sal
aries provided in the present law, ex
cept in cities of the first class. and
from the sixth class on, and as Mil
waukee is the only city of the first
class, only those cities in which the
institution of the plan is proposed will
be affected by this amendment The
schedule of reduction follows in part:
Second class cities-Mayor from $4
500 to $4,000; councilmen from $4,000
to $4,000.
Third class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000; councilmen from $500 to
50, 500.
Fourth class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000; councilmen from $4,000 to
81, 600.
Fifth class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000; councilmen from $4,000 to
81, 500.
In the remaining classifications the
cut proposed is in slightly smaller pro
portion.

open arms. With a youth If his pro-
cliyities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable. At no time
overload of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as a most desirable
emancipation from the restraint of
home life. The love of books he con-
sidered a pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by its most undesirable features, it's
sports, its secret societies, it's petty
cliques, and its rowdyism The broad
spirit and the dignity of the alma
mater he ignored completely Directly
he went to Yale he started in to en-
JOY himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him
in the entire history of the university.
Reading, attendance at lectures, be-
came only convenient cloak to con-
ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing,
automobile joy rides, hard drinking
became the daily curriculum. In
town rows and orgies of every descrip-
ton he was soon a recognized leader.
Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion Then his
father heard of it and there was a
terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr, went inn
mediately to New Haven and there
followed a stormy interview in which
Howard promised to reform, but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, the smoke of
which reached as far as New York.
This time Mr.. Jeffries tried the plan
of cutting down the money supply and
Howard found himself financially en-
barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father, for,
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
on his sprees, the young man started
in to gamble heavily, giving notes for
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when he won.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart to
steel. Jeffries, Sr., could forgive much
in young man. He had been. young
himself once. None knew better than
he how difficult it is when the blood
is rich and red to keep oneself in
control. But there was one offence
which a man proud of his descent
could not condone. He would never
forgive the staining of the family
name by a degrading marriage. The
news came to the unhappy father like
a thunder-clap Howard, probably in
a drunken spree, had married secretly
a waitress employed in one of the
sporty" restaurants in New Haven,
and to make the mesalliance worse,
the girl was not even of respectable
parents. Her father, Billy Delmore,

gambler and had died in convict

ries, Sr. He sternly g son that
he never wanted to look upon his face
again. Howard bowed his head to
the decree and he had never seen his
father since.

LITIGATION of the anti-Stephenson" re
port TO the United States senate have
BEEN taken in the senate, Senator
Paul busting having introduced a. res
olution to shat effect. The resolution
will lie over under the rules for As
hours, and as adjournment was taken
for over Sunday, it will not come up
again for few days unless the rules
are suspended This latter course,
however. is not likely to be taken.
Adoption of the principle. at least.
of the resolution is expected, although
the wording may be changed in some
respects.
Assemblyman Merlin Hull Of Black
River Falls believes that the complete
record of every member of the legisla-
ture from the time he takes his sea-
until adjournment should be available
to the public. To that end he has in
troduced in the assembly a bill and a
resolution under which every action
of member in committees would be
recorded. This report would include
notation as to the time and place of
each hearing, attendance on commit
tee meetings. the vote of each mem
Der in committee on each measure
that comes before it, the names Of
who appear before each COM
mittee and those of their employers
in fact every conceivable matter that
might go into such a record. All com
mittee hearings, it is proposed, shall
be open to the public, and the record
which is kept to be filed along with
the measure to which it pertains when
that measure is submitted to the leg
islature by the committee.
The resolution provides for immedi-
ate action to amend the rules and the
bill would place the same provisions
upon the statute books, where they
could not be easily suspended
Prominent among the score of bills
offered in the assembly was one by
Mr.. Bichler to abolish the tuberculin
test of cattle before sale, which is now
required by law. This bill is expected
to provoke considerable discussion.

insurance Bill Opposed by Many.

At the hearing on the industrial
insurance bill discovery was made
that much opposition has risen
10 the measure because it creates a
commission to administer the compen-
sation provisions The feeling for
awhile was quite general that it might
even be defeated through prejudice
against this feature. Thereupon Sena-
tor w c. Owen of Maiden Rock, who
was in the chair, took the floor and Sc
verely denounced those persons (most-
ly Democrats) who were presumed to
take this view of the bill He defied
any member to stand up and say he
would be willing TO vote to abolish the
railroad or tax commissions and de
clared that the idea as applied to
workmen's compensation was only ex-
detrimental, and if it proved to be mad
aquate the Republican majority would
gladly favor a change.

Illusions.

1t is true we labor under many IL
lusions, but If these were to be done
away with we should hardly deem it
worth our while to labor at all.
Almost none Of the things which
man so ardently pursues in the belief
that they will make him happier is
really capable Of doing so, and yet 1t
is needful that he keep up the pursuit
for the sake OF what he incidentany
achieves in behalf of destiny.
The illusions we labor under par
take. in fine, of the nature of sanitary
conditions, though they chiefly affect
the health of the spirit, and by that
have no municipal functionary ap-
pointed to look vigilantly after them.
Nor, in fact, do they need any such.
since providence has been so kind as
to see to it that illusions we shall al,
ways have.-Puck.

Senators Have Odd Offices.

State senators at present have light,
portable offices, with collapsible trans
parent tops and sides, which they
erect wherever and whenever neces-
sity requires Immediately after the
senate adjourned a score of solons
erected their novel little offices in the
supreme court room, where the SEN
ate is now temporarily holding it's
daily, sessions, and spreading out
their bills. papers, letters and other
personal effects, proceeded to look
over their mail, write letters, draft
resolutions and bills and perform their
other sundry legislative duties.
Postmaster Williams in the mean
time carried the senate postoffice
around in his arms, delivering letters
and other mail to the industrious but
dignified snlons. These temporary Of
fees were USED because the perma-
nent private rooms Of the senators are
not yet ready for occupancy, being
like the permanent chamber of the

tiers, plasterers, painters and other
busy and noisy artisans. Senator Gay
lord erected his little Office next to
that of Comrade Senator Zophy.
Senator Blaine and Senator Donald
carried on a friendly chat from adjoin-
ing offices.
Senators True, Thomas and James,
as neighbors, talked about the effect
of last summers drought on the
hay crop in their respective dis
tricts; Senators Husting and Ran
dolph laughed over the near-coup of
their Democratic brethren in the as

Hits "Inhuman Theory"

In answer to a question by Assem-
blyman Stevens along the line of the
solvency or insolvency Of the employ
er, Mr.. Blaine said that point could
not be covered by law. The senator
said that there was no sense in the
'inhuman theory" that the man who
is the producer shall assume all the
risks. Mr. Blaine said that the ques-
ton of board had been given careful
consideration by the committee. Labor
and manufacturing leaders told him
the local board scheme would prove
a failure. The central body idea, he
said, will simplify operations under
the law Mr.. Blaine declared that the

FIRST ENTRY
In Prize-Story Contest of Sunday
Magazine Next Sunday.

."rhe Passion on the Peak by Herman
Scheffauer, is the name and author of the
first entry in our Sunday Magazine prize
contest. which appears in our next issue.
1t is in every way worthy of inclusion
among the distinguished list of stories
that will be printed during the coming
year in this memorable competition; in
deed, one of the editors believes that it
is a promising candidate for high honors.
Mr.. Scheffauer has chosen three set
tings for his tale-opening in San Fran
cisco, where he lived for many years;
then in the art circles in Paris, which he
frequented for time. and finally in the
majestic mountains of Switzerland, which
through it all is the spirit of old Tamal-
pals, that wonderful height that over
looks the Golden Gate across the bay
from the California metropolis, where
the hero and heroine were wont to go,
and which gave birth to their love for
each other. 1t was the old conflict be-
tween love and art, maid and worldly
ambition, heart passion and fame, and
at first art and ambition and fame won,
leaving behind the stricken woman wait
ling for the fulfillment of the promised
union as soon as fame was earned. But,
separation. And with it waned the fame;
for this was based on the spirit of love
and romantic Tamalpais.
Finally, commission in Switzerland
promised to revive the wonderful skill
that had made the standing Of the now
matured painter among the critics of
Paris-and he found there THE Passion
on the Peak and-Elizabeth.
Mr. Scheffauer has shown in this tale
that he possesses the Imagination and
It is by all odds the best story Of his we
have ever read. and was not at all mis-
placed when chosen to lead in this prize

orclgn Correspondence OF The Star.


ATHENS, January S, 1911
The situation in Crete as between the
rival religious communities is considered
serious, owing to provocation afforded to
the Christians by the Cretan Mussulmans,
probably inspired from Constantinople.
The Mufti of Canea invited the Muss1ll-
mans to assemble at the public college,
ostenslbly for the purpose of religious in
structon, and more than four hundred
persons put in an appearance. The multi
began by demanding in the name of the
prophet why his audience made friends
or christian dogs" instead of associat-
ing with true believers. Why, he asked,
did they spend their money with these
giaour' dogs in wine shops, which be-
SIDES being contrary to the law of the
Koran, was anti-patriotic. knowing that
every drachma was needed for the Turk
ish fleet. You should know" he con-
tlnued, that the Turkish cause gains
every day, whereas the cause of the
Christians wanes. Soon this fleet of
which l speak may sail hither: then the
Christian will have had his day"
suspicious of the real cause of the as
sembly of Mussulmans had spread among
the Christians, and excitement ran so
nigh that the authorities, to preserve or
der stated that the discourse of the
multi concerned religion alone.
