MACHINES NOT TO BE USED
Bancroft Rules Device Out for the
Presidential and the Refer
endum Ballot.

Madison.-'I am therefore of the
0pinioE that the provisions of chap
ter 633, with reference to the form
and manner of voting the referen-
dunn ballot and the presidential bal
lot is general in it's application and
that it must be specifically complied
with. It follows that the referendum
and the presidential ballot prescribed
by chapter 633, laws of 1911, can
not be voted upon the voting ma
chine" Such is the opinion of Atty.
Gen. Bancroft, given today to J. Ell
mer Lehr of Milwaukee.
The attorney general points out
that it. is obvious that the many re-
quirements prescribed for the casting
of these ballots cannot be carried out
on the voting machine. 1t is evident
that the legislature intended to sep
arate the presidential ticket from the
state, congressional and county tick
cts, thereby requiring the voter to
perform two distinct physical acts in
voting the two separate ballots.

nomination from the floor was the one
for presidency.
A resolution was presented that the
nominating committee in the future
place in the hands OF the convention

considered by many that the election

BOSTON DEFEATS NEW YORK
BY Winning from the Giants the Red
Sox Claim the Worlds Base
Ball Championship.

Boston.-The Boston Red Sox,
pennant winners of the American
league, are the worlds champions of
1912. Defeating the New York Ma
tionals on Wednesday by to in ten
innings Of a bitterly fought struggle,
they captured their fourth victory of
the worlds series and carried off the
premier honOrs in baseball
The Giants won three games of the
series that was played before more
than a quarter of million people,
and one contest was a tie. The total
receipts tor the eight games were
S490,833. and each Red Sox player
received $4,024, while the Giant
players each came in for $2,566
Wednesdays was a game of excite
ment and changing emotions for the
1900 spectators who went to Fen
way park to see the teams which had
struggled for seven games with hon
ors even, meet in the deciding con-
test Never was a ball game more
tightly waged, for it was not until
twilight had fallen upon the tenth
inning that the red stocking Ed
Yerkes flashed over the plate with
the winning run, Mathewson of the
Giants opposed Bedient and Joe
Wood of the Red SoX.

a rare state of comparative peace, ana
encouraged foreign capital to the stu
pendous profit of the investor and Ze-
laya.. The country, extraordinarily
rich, under his rule received unprece-
denied development. His financial
genius, however, was confined to the
crude sandbag method and the more
the country prospered, the poorer the
people became Ultimately Zelaya
fell victim to that disease so fatal to
Latin-American dictators-the idea
that the United States can be bluffed
forever.
| also knew his partisan and sue
cessor Doctor Madriz-a shy, studi-
ous-looking, be-spectacled little man
with mild agreeable manners. He
was a scholar and clever lawyer,
but he lacked the magnetism of Ze-
Iaya His purposes were excellent,
but he had no chance to carry them
out; the faint of his association with
zelaya was his undoing. No one will
ever distinguish him with any of the
thousand legends which still cling to
the memory of the great dictator.
How Feud Will Die Out.
Since then, conditions have not i'm
proved much in Nicaragua. Yet they
must improve soon, for the sanitary
state of the country is a constant
menace to the canal zone and the
financial and economic conditions Of
the republic are desperate. The an
cient rivalry of Leon and Granada,
representing the Liberal and Conser-
vative parties, respectively, is no
foundation upon which to build either
peace or prosperity. On the contrary,
it is a sort of feud that will die out
only with the extension Of CONNER
ciaI intercourse. But the extension
of commercial intercourse demands
peace and a security of government
for it's establishment upon any sure
foundation. So, far, the vast unex-
plotted resources of the country have
offered such aIluring profits, in spite
of everything, that the Nicaraguans
are alive to no necessity for a COM
rlete change in their point OF view
towards their government.
The possibility of the construction
of an interoceanic canal through their
territory has thrown their. country in
to more international prominence than
any other of the Central American
states, and has implanted in them the
idea of the domination of Cen
trail American union, which was Ze-
laya's dearest dream. They have
know the spotlight and will not easily
be persuaded to the uneventful walks
Of mere trade; they are the spoiled
children of Central America, now ca
joled, now f1attered, now spanked.
Once again the moment has come
when they must meet Uncle Sam in
the woodshed, and they are bowling
over the prospect.

REMIT 100000
IN TAXES THIS YEAR
frear and Dahl Meet as State
Remission Board.
STATE UNIVERSITY
Amount Fixed for 1912 Exceeds
That of Previous Year by More
Thae $1,000, OOO--WrII be Payed
Upon Its Receipt.

Madison.--Secretary of State
Frear and State Treasurer Dahl met
at the capitol as state board for the
remission of taxes for the ensuing
year and decided to remit over ST.,
100000 in taxes. In 1911 the board
RENTED a tax of S450,000 for state
capitol purposes and $490,235 nor
NAL school tax. At it's meeting the
board decided to remit the $3.50, 900
for the state capitol and approx
mately 100000 for normal schools
and in addition thereto the state uni
versity tax which is estimated to
reach approximately $1,100,000,
making total remission Of over ST.
100000 for 1912, or over 100000
more than was RENTED in 1911.
The action taken means that no
state tax will be levied except for
educational purposes and the state
highway tax. In other words, all
taxes levied this year will be prompt
ly returned by the state to the locali-
ties.

Demands Better School Teachers.

That qualifications for obtaining
teachers certificates be raised.
That after January 1, 1915, ninth
and tenth grade work should be re-
quired before taking the six weeks
professional training course.
That after January l, 1917, gradua'
ton from a training school or depart
ment shall be required.
That after January l, 1919, ninth
and tenth grade work should be re-
quired as entrance qualifications to
training schools.
Teachers in rural schools fail to
teach pupils to read intelligently, &C
cording to the state board of public
affairs. This is due to the fact that
many teachers rely on six weeks
professional course to train them fol-
their work The board points out
that graduates of the county training
schools we're much more effective in
teaching reading than teachers whe
had no training.
The board says: Those who hae
graduated from the New Richmond
high school training department were
usually strong and effective in theiI
teaching, due to the fact that in this
school unusual care is taken to teach
their students methods in teaching
reading and primary work generally.
The case for trained teachers seems
well established. A well-informed per
son says that al least 1000 young
girls of common school education are
annually facing their first school prac-
tically without training. To bring
about the much needed improvement
In the quality of teaching in the rural
schools, the state board of public al
fairs recommends that all candidates
for teachers certificates after Janu-
ary 1. 1916, shall have finished q 1east
the first two high school years be-
fore taking the six-weeks professional
course. To provide for further grad
ual improvement in the quality of the
teacher, it is proposed to require all
candidates between January /, 1917,
and January 1, 1919, to be graduates
of training school or department.
After 1919 the first two high school
years are required as the entrance
qualifications to the training school.
