More About County Politics

There are no special moves on the
county political chess board this week.
Nevertheless much interest and consider
able comment has been aroused by the
announcement of the candidacy of {. N,
harrington of Johnson for the Senator
ship. 1t was at first the belief that E. IL.
Sherwin, aspirant for the same position
from the same town, would have no OPP
position there; but the entrance OF MIR.
harrington puts a different light on the
situation.
Mr.. harrington is the town clerk and
treasurer of that town and has lived there
for many years. For number of years
he was engaged in the mercantile bust
ness and later for long time was
partner of Hon. c. H. Stearns in the but
ter tub and box manufacturing business,
and is now interested with Mr.. Stearns
in one or two saw mills. He is deserved
ly popular. He has represented his town
in the General Assembly and would make
a good Senator. 1t is up to Johnson to
say which of these worthy men shall
have its solid delegation in the county
convention.
The name of J. o. Thomas of Belvidere
is also brought forth for this position.
Mr.. Thomas is clerk and treasurer of his
town, is engaged in the mercantile and
lumber manufacturing business and is
looked upon by his people, and others
of his town, as well fitted for the

Color Sensations.

Color is very commonly looked upon
as definite quality. This, However,
is only partly true. The more correct
and scientific concept of color is that
it is simply the name of a certain
group of sensa tons by which we are
affected. Thus we say 1.-The rose is
red" 1t is more correct to say 1.-THE
rose produces in us the sensation we
call redness." A man who is color
blind will declare that it is green,
showing that the color is not in the
thing, but in the perception of it. So
far, therefore, from retaining their
color in the dark. objects cannot prop
erly be said to possess it even in the
light. 1.-THE rose is red" really means
that the size and arrangement of its
surface molecules are such as to re-
feet that particular part of the spec
trum which we have agreed to call red.
In the dark it is simply black or col
orless, though it retains its capacity
for again exciting in us the sensation
Of redness on being restored to the
light. just as an empty glass retains
it's capacity for being refilled.

Towns To Vote on State Aid This
Spring

The towns in Wisconsin at their
animal meetings this spring will
have an opportunity to vote wheth-
er they will build any roads or
bridges in 1913 under the new State
Aid Law,
The law provides that If town
wishes to vote tax Of four hun
dred dollars or over, the county
shall provide an equal amount and
the state an equal amount. This
money is to be spent in permanent
" improving either by stoninp.
travelling. or grading as is voted
by the electors of the town,
portion Of the county system OF
high ways lying within that town,
which portion is also selected by
the electors of the town.
If bridge improvements are voted
the minimum tax is two hundred
land fifty dollars, to be met by 20
equal amount from the county and
one half as much from the state,
Bridges built must be on the sys-
tenn of highways within the town
voting the money.
The new law gives towns the OPP
portunity Of getting aid from will
ages and cities for building those
main travelled highways which are
the greatest burden upon the town.
The cities and villages are also bene-
flied by the greater ease of travel
and the consequent increase in bust
n SIS and social activity.S
About FIVE .hundred towns IN the
state voted for state aid at special
or regular meetings last year and
the money will be spent this year.
1T is expected that many more
towns will vote this year, and that
1913 will see inaugrated an almost
universal building of good roads
under county supervision.
