separate Ballots in Ali Elections.

The agitation for the short bal
lot in Wisconsin elections will
receive added impetus when Sen
ator Henry c. Martin of Darlington
will introduce in the senate bill to
separate the ballot at presidential
elections into two parts. Under the
Martin bill, one ballot will contain
the names of the candidates for pres
ident and vice-president and the
names of the candidates for presi-
Dental electors of the contesting
parties The other ballot will con-
tain the names of all candidates for
state offices, congress, legislature and
county positions.
The object of Senator Martins bill
is to allow split voting, and Republic
an leaders In the upper house are
considering still further a proposition
to keep the ballot split in off years
as well as at presidential elections.
1t is probable that when the Martin
bill reaches the committee on cleo
tons, to which it will be referred,
that committee will tack on an amend
ment providing for three splits in the
ballot instead of two. The additional
ballot will contain only the names OF
candidates for county offices, leaving
separate ballots for presidential cleo
tors and state officers and members
of the legislature, respectively.
The hackers Of the bill see in it an
opportunity to discourage straight
ticket" voting, and to prevent national
issues from carrying the voter off his
feet in state and county elections.
Among important bills introduced
in the assembly is one by Taylor
Frye of Eau Claire county making
more stringent the requirements for
fire escapes. The Frye bill compels
owners Of buildings more than two
stories high to provide at least two
stairways when the floor space gives
room for $50 persons to assemble
The bill makes the owner provide
1.-TWO good substantial stairways," one
of which must be on the outside OF
the building. This latter stairway
| must be of wrought iron and must
be at least four feet in width. The
present law makes requirement for 6
fire escape of almost any width, and
as q result many buildings are fitted
with narrow ladders. The stairways
under the Frye bill, must be on {
! slant of not more than As degrees
| The year 1917 is made the time limit
4 for the placing of the new fire escapes
on buildings which have escapes mo-
coming up to the new specifications
The bill makes an exception of build
| ings which are declared by the labor
commissioner Or factory inspector
to be fireproof

 Men who apparently have been very courageous in their attacks upon rail way companies, corporations and trusts tamely submit to the passage of extravagant appropriation bills, carrying additional expenditures of forty or fifty millions a year for in- creases in pensions or for some other doubtful purpose. because of their dread of mourning the ill will of a large number of voters. Nothing ls more difficult for q legislator than to maintain an attitude of opposition ro extravaganza in public eNpendi- t1res The press and the public alike demand economy and freely criticize public officials for their prodigality. but the real test comes when some particular item of expenditure is for the relief of d certain community or group of individuals.

ness. The proposed remedy for al coholism is so simple and cheap-as compared with the cost of whskey and other brands of bOoZe-that t can body. The theory of the cure is that the craving for alcoholic stimulants comes from the cry of the nerves for food, and that goats milk is the best food for the nerves. Physicians have long recognized the drunkard as a diseased man. but the trouble with the average doctor is that in trying to deal with the drink appetite he merely substitutes some other stimu- lant for alcohol-and the need of the drinking mans nerves is not for further stimulants, or for opiates or narcotics. but for some rational treat ment which will put them on a per manent basis of soundness and quiet.
 If goats milk will do the business. the nanny goat ought to be hailed everywhere as the successor of the saloon And the effigy of the billy goat. which on the sidewalks of some cities stands for beer within the near by doors. can be more properly used to point the way to counters whence goats milk is dispensed.
 Most seriously. the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union is doing good work in trying to inculcate mo- tions of temperance and in trying to destroy the appetite for liquor They are beginning at the right end of the problem. If mans craving for alco- holic stimulantS can he destroyed. the saloons can be put out of business to stay. For where there is no de- sire for liquor the bootlegger cannot succeed the saloon.

 The town of Milpa Alta, lying close to the federal district, has fallen into the hands of the Atilla of the south. This audacious blow produced yesterday in the City of Mexico an immense sensation, and will, without doubt. produce a great sensation throughout the republic as soon as the facts become known-since it is truly alarming to note the rapidity with which the Zapatista movement has extended itself through the states of Morelos.

It is to be feared, however. that the time will soon come when it will be necessary for him to abandon the notions of an ideal republic which have governed his actions so far.

Madero Facing Difficulties.

Tomorrow Don Francisco l. Made TO becomes president of the republic of Mexico. by virtue of the election of last month.
 Just a year ago, Senor Madero was a despised insurgent, trying in vain, apparently, to start a serious rebellion against the tyrant Diaz. Within the twelve months he has not only made a success of his rebellion, driving Diaz and the entire Diaz entourage from power, but tomorrow he takes his seat in the chair which was oc- cupied for thirty years by the great autocrat.
 Can Madero make good? It is too early to say A militant spirit of democracy has been aroused by him, certainly. But it is an unbridled democracy of doubtful capacity in self government Revolution is still in the air, and at the very beginning of his administration President Madero will face a crisis of magnitude. One of his followers in the late rebellion, General Zapata, is still in the field with large force. openly defying the government.

The Hunt Canvassing Board.

When will the Hunt board" can vass and report the returns of the pri mary election of october 24?
 At the instance of the Hon. George Willie Paul Hunt, then president of the constitutional convention and an aspirant for a nomination for gover- nor, the convention adopted "Ordin- ance No. ?" which provides that
 Immediately upon receipt of the said returns from the Boards of Su- pervisors by the Secretary of the Territory, the primary canvassing board shall canvass said returns, tab uIate. and certify the result of such canvass to the clerk of the board of supervisors of each county. giving the name of each person voted for. the number of votes received by him, and the name of each person nomin- ated and the office for which he is nominated, including the result of the advisory vote for candidates for United States senator. All such returns shall be preserved in the office of the sec retary of the territory, together with a true copy of the tabulation thereof, (which shall be certified as correct by said Board) and all such records shall be open to public inspection.
 Such primary canvassing board shall consist of the secretary of the territory, eX-officio, and two members of the constitutional convention to be appointed thereto by George w. P. Hunt as president of said convention. The members appointed shall. before entering upon the duties of their of flee, take and subscribe an oath, or affirmation, to support the constitu- ton and laws of the United States. the terms of the enabling act and this ordinance, and well and faithfully to discharge the duties of such of flee. In case of the resignation or in- ability to serve of any such member appointed, the said George w. r. Hunt as president of said convention, shall fill the vacancy by appoint ment"
 So far, we believe, MT. Hunt has neglected to appoint the two mem bers of the canvassing board above mentioned. Possibly he has been too buSS lOOhllS dIttI HIS ptfSOIldl to make the appointment.
 The secretary of the territory will have received all the returns from the several boards of supervisors within day or two, presumably, if he has not received them already. and the canvassing board ought to be able to report the whole result of the pri- mary election by the latter part of next week. MT. Hunt has never been accused of possessing sense of hu- mor so we do not expect that he will appoint the Hon. Mulford Winsor. late member of the constitutional con vention and still later defeated in the primaries for the democratic nomina- ton for congress. to be one of the canvassing board.

AN ARBITRARY SPEAKER.

The Speaker of the Illinois Assem-
bly, has succeeded in defeating the
proposition for Illinois to cooperate
in the building of great waterway
from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi
river. The people of Illinois voted in
favor Of taking part IN this project.
but the Speaker was personally op-
posed TO it, and has been able, by
sbifty tactics, to keep the Assembly
from voting upon the Senate bill which
would allow Of the State doing its part

The proposition is to utilize the Chi
cago drainage canal, deepen the head
waters of the Illinois river, and through
means of these waters ard the canal
establish a great commercial waterway
from Chicago to the mouth of the Hi.

improvement of the Mississippi river,
and make a great commercial chanue!

ever since the Panama canal became
an assured success. The idea at the
bottom of it is TO give TO the people
of the old Middle West an opportunity
10 take part in the great commerce
which the Panama canal viii afford the
opportunity for building up. IT will
bring the western shores of South
America almost TO the door of the greaL

sippi Valley 1T was hoped by the
friends of the enterprise that, since the
people had agreed and the Senate al
most unanimously passed this bill for
the cooperation of Illinois in this big
enterprise, the session of the Legisla-
ture Of Illinois which has Just ended
would so advance the project that there
would be no doub, of its being pushed
at once. The action of the Speaker
however, has merely postponed the par
ticipation Of the State in this great
enterprise. II is waterway that is
