IT IS somewhat difficult to under
stand wherein lies the economy of a
proposition before the legislature of
session laws in the newspapers of the
state and pay the state printer for
pamphlets necessary for general cir
culation. In no manner can the people
be told so quickly of the new laws as
the present method through law sup
plements issued by the press. Every
argument is in favor of retaining the
present method of publishing the laws
in the newspapers, where everybody
will become familiar with them. The
modern trend of thoughtful statesmen
is in the direction of greater publica-
ton of everything of public nature.
The cry is now for more information,
more wisdom, more publication. And
yet our legislature proposes to take a
backward step by refusing to publish
the rules it prescribes for the regula-
ton of the conduct of its subjects.

Workhouse for Rock County.

Recommendations that Rock county
establish workhouse entirely separate
and distinct from the poor farm will be
made to the county board of supervis-
ors at it's next session by the state
board of control.
The need for such an institution was
brought to the attention of the state
board through the recent charges made
against an attendant at the poor house
by Robert Smith, an inmate. Smith
charged that Ronald Mcdonald cruelty
beat John Cunningham, an aged in
mate. because the latter disObeyed
some of the rules.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the state board and that
body recommended to Supt. Barlass
that he discharge Mcdonald. 1t is held
that public sentiment would demand
such action.
Mr.. Barlass is loath to do this as he
states that Mcdonald is one of the best
men he has ever had and he does not
believe the public wants him to drop
Mcdonald.
The board believes there is a large
number of able bodied men who work
during the summer and spend all their
money and then GO to the poor house
to spend the winter. For this reason
it will recommend the establishment of
county workhouse where such men
can be made to earn their lodging and
board.

DavidsOn's New Post.

To vast country in point of terri
torial expanse now goes former Gov
ernor Davidson in the distinguished role
of American minister-and may health,
happiness and prosperity attend him,
say all of us. Colombia is by no means
so colossal as China or Russia or even
Brazil, but it is ten times as big as
Wisconsin, twice as extensive as Aus
tria, has many times the acreage OF
the German empire, the British Isles
are not quarter so expansive, Italy IS
to it about as one to five, and our
mammoth among states, Texas, could
be superimposed on Colombia yet leave
enough of the latter to Obtrude round
the rim to equal an area as great as
that covered. 1t has length as from
Chicago to Albany, climate and a
vegetation corresponding to the tropics
and the arctic, people poor as poems
and as exclusive almost as Castilian
royalty. Credibly it may be said that
the inhabitants rank first among South
Americans in point of literary and
scientific culture.
Governor Davidson promptly will feel
at home because tobacco is grown
there; the mahogany almost equals the
best of timber produced along the pic
turesque Kickapoo; and fishing's fine
in Rio Magdalena with not sluggish
carp to spoil the splendid sport. When
Minister Davidson goes camping he'll
need to take no coffee, for it can be
picked from the bushes anywhere, CO.
Goa the same and bananas too, but in
lieu of Breckheimer's best, mescal or
pulque must needs be put in the pack,
if one be truly provident. - Madison

FORMER GOVERNOR HOARD, who is
calm amid all the hysteria, sounds a
note of caution with respect to cold
storage. Some of the state legislatures.
he says, ''are indulging in fool legisla-
ton, about it. Somebody has told them
something about cold storage being in
the hands of trust, and away they go.
They ought to be told that the dairy
farmers of the country for the past
fifteen years have been getting bigger
summer prices on account of cold stor-
age than ever before, all because there
was speculative demand for summer
butter and eggs, that never occurred in
former years. Then they ought to be
told that the prices in winter to the
consumer were held down quite consid-
erabIy because of the presence on the
market of cold storage goods. Thus a
better balance was obtained throughout
the entire year, much to the benefit OF
the farmer. Madison Democrat.

To WHAT marvellous perfection and
accuracy modern naval gunnery has at
tanned may be seen in the recent de-
struction of the old battleship Texas,
which was towed out to the ocean and
subjected, to the broadside attack of the
modern frigate New Hampshire, firing
eight and twelve inch guns at dis
lance of five to six and half miles.
The Texas with it's heavy armor was
bored through and sunk in short time,
the New Hampshire firing as it was
steaming back and forth over the
course. Think of hitting a battleship
with the accuracy almost of a rifle shot
at as far distance as is Jefferson from
Fort Atkinson. Union.

Ray Hams New Store.

A copy of Forest Leaves has reached
this Office containing an account OF the
change in the location of the store of
Ray C. Hahn & Co. in Forest Park. a
suburb of Chicago.
The people of Forest Park will be in
terested in the removal of K. Z. Hahn
and company's five and ten cent store
from its present location at 1874 Madl-
son street to the store next door, for
merly occupied by Shauer and company,
7340 Madison street.
The facilities furnished by the new
building will be much more advantage
Gus to the rapidly growing business OF
the firm than those of the old location.
The floor space in the new building will
be increased by about third, the new
building being both longer and wider.
Lighting will be much improved, since
the entire back is of glass. A double
row of chandeliers the entire length of
the. store will make it very light at
night.
r. C. Hahn, the partner in the firm,
who is chiefly responsible for building
up the success of the local business,
came to Forest Park from Edgerton,
Wis, two years ago. He is a young
man of pleasing personality, and Is
possessed of qualities essential to the
successful business man. In Forest
Park he has created and built up his
trade by honorable and satisfactory
dealings with the customers.
