To Neglect Vice Presidents.

In voting their presidential prefer
ence ballots at the April primary,
voters of Wisconsin will probably not
express themselves on their choice for
vice presidents. They will have OPP
portunity to do so and the law speci-
fies that they may do so in the aame
way and at the same time that they
vote on their favorite presidential can
didates. To place the name of presi-
dental or a vice presidential candi-
date on the official ballot in Wiscon-
sin this spring will require petition
with 1000 names.
Petition blanks have been sent out
in the interest of Senator La Toilette.
The same will no doubt be done rela-
tive to the candidates. of Taft, VIII
son.. Clark and possibly Roosevelt and
others in Wisconsin. But no apparent
interest is taken in this state in vice
presidential candidates; public politi-
cal interest seems completely absorbed
in the rivalries for the presidential
nominations.

State Exhibit for Milwaukee.

A meeting to discuss tentative
plans for an exhibit next fall in
Milwaukee to demonstrate the natural
resources of Wisconsin was held in
the Republican house, Milwaukee, by
Representatives of the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement association, Citizens Bust
ness league and the Milwaukee Hotel
Mems association.
Alvin P. Kletzsch, in outlining the
purposes of the meeting, said that
such an exhibit would give prospective
settlers a fair idea Of the states re
sources. According to the object OF
the exhibit, every possible natural re-
source of Wisconsin would be dis
played John F. Hume said the ex-
hibit would be in the nature of com
munity OF interests inasmuch as
each section of the state would be
given fair opportunity for display. He
said the need of such an exhibition
could not be overestimated, because
every settler Wisconsin secures is an
actual asset to all interests.
r. g. Packer of the Wisconsin bu-
reau of immigration said that Canada
is Turing many settlers from the Uni
ted States by deception, and that If
Wisconsin will show her natural re-
sources the result must benefit the
state
At a meeting in the afternoon a
committee of fifteen was appointed to
fix the date and plan for the exposi-
ton, which probably will be in the

Aspiration of the Irish People.

On the national day of the Irish
people. when their patron saint is
ven Grated and thanks are given for
the faith he brought, what are the
aspirations of this people? This ma
tional consciousness looks to a flu
ture in which Ireland, as separate
nation. will take its place in the sis
terhood of independent nations. This
people will be satisfied with nothing
less than political autonomy like that
of Australia and Canada, under which
Ireland will be governed by its own
people, under its own laws, left to de-
velop the material resources Of a
wonderfully fertile country without
hindrance from the dominant power,

TWO LEGENDS OF
ST. PATRICK
One That the Sons of
the Emerald Isle Shall
Be Judged by Him.

- HERE is an old legend-no
,E&A, doubt fondly Rugged to an
Y I'm " Irishman's conscience =
NyWxE that at the last day of
~$S - judgment the sons of the
Emerald Isle shall be
judged by St. Patrick alone. And for
many centuries there was pointed out
on the island of Tough Derg a cave
said to be the entrance to ST. Patrick's
Purgatory-"a and it should be to any
one who had courage to go into it as
if he had passed through purgatory
after death"
Of entirely different nature is the
profane legend linking ST. Patrick's
name with that special delicate pr1vi-
lege permitted the fair sex every leap
year.
Shortly after passing the snake ex'
clusion act, st. Patrick met st.
Bridget, who brought to him the COM
plants Of certain young ladies in her
nunnery because they we're debarred
the initiative privilege in affairs of
the heart-celibacy not then being
compulsory unless a special vow had
been taken. St. Patrick, duly consid.
ering the matter, suggested that the
desired privilege should be granted
once in seven years.
''Arrah! Pathrick, jewel" cried st,
Bridget, st daurn't go back to the
gurls wild such a proposal. Mex it
one year in four"
1t ended of course in her gaining
her womans way he gallantly giving
her leap year, ''the longest one Of the
lot"
And leap year it must have been
then by lucky chance, for St. Bridget
at once made good by popping the
question herself. But as ST. Patrick
had taken the vow of celibacy, he
could only offer the consolation prize
of kiss and a silk dress.

lively of the horticultural and agricul-
tural departments. Nora P. Jenkins

The board directed the committee
on premiums to revise and enlarge
the premium list for the purpose OF at
tracing bigger and better exhibits
than heretofore. The board will offer
over $4,000 in premiums for the COM
ing fair. The committee will begin
work on the premium list on March
u.

tate was given permission to use the

1900 Rate Increase Is Explained.

A general increase in insurance
rates of 25 per cent was made in 1900
for Wisconsin cities and towns, &C
cording to testimony given by H. c..
Grlfing, manager of the Wisconsin in
spection bureau, before the legislative
insurance investigating committee, in
session at the city hall. In reply to
questions of Insurance Commissioner
H. L. Ekern, Mr.. Grifing admitted that
certain towns, notably, Alma, rejected
the increased rates, pronouncing them
excessive He said the raise was de-
cided on because large losses had
made such action necessary.
The Fieldman's club, he testified,
was organized in 1908, and that it Sc
cured a ten-year lease of all schedules
and other records from the insurance
companies. The increase in the rates,
he said, was made in conformity with
a decision of the board OF under
writer's.

Grim war no more shall dye

But gentle slumbers seal thine eye!

plish now that which you adyocat-
cd IN your paper last fall, the driy-
ing out of the band of "pimps''
that are disgrace to our town.
doht know who is to blame for al
lowing them the freedom that they
nave had, for there is plenty OF
laws on the books of this state to
Keep them moving. but they seem to
nave greater pull than the miner
that has to work for his living

IS It possible that such vipers are
going to be allowed to mingle with
our respectable citizens unmolested?
This town is paying three police Of
lcers to police the town and we
also have the sheriff's force. Can't
they find the law that will aid them
IN their duties? If not we have a
district attorney who receives sal
airy larger than the governor. to
advise them in the law. He has
the grand jury at his disposal to
take the necessary steps to clean
the town, if all other means fail.
So there is no excuse unless it is
political one, and | would hate to
think that such was the case.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you want to
do good turn for the people, get
busy and stir them up. whoever is
to blame. If | could spare the
