LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Stevens Decides {
Sleeping Car Case at
Madison.

Judge E. Ray Stevens in the Circuit
court for Dane county held the so.
called upper berth sleeping car law
unconstitutional on the ground that
it was not a reasonable exercise of the
police power of the state and resulted
in confiscation of railroad property
without due process of law. The state
will appeal the case to the supreme
court. The law provides that whenever
a person shall occupy lower berth in
sleeping car and the upper berth of
the same section is not occupied the
upper one shall not be let down. The
case was brought by the state agains
the Milwaukee road. The complain :
ing witness was James T. Hall.
who, while travelling in sleeping car
between Portage and Star Lake, de-
manded that the upper berth of the
section reserved by him be closed
pursuant to the provisions of the upper
berth law. The company refused to
comply with his request and Hall
complained to the state railroad com.
mission, which brought suit to test
the law.

Look to this day:
For it is Life-the very Life of Life.
In it's brief course lie all the varieties
and realities of your existence.
The bliss of Growth
The joy of Motion
The splendor of Beauty.
For yesterday is already dream and
tomorrow is only a vision:
But today, well lived, makes every
yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow vision of hope.
Look we'll, therefore to this day.

SITUATION COMPLICATED.

William Allen White of Emporia,
Kansas says the political situation is
complicated. BY Bryan nominating
the Democratic convention Wood
row Wilson, a progressive, was domi-
mated by reactionary party. Taft,
on the other hand, is reactionary and
was nominated by party which is
progressive. Thus we have two cam
didates for president nominated by
the two great parties -each of whom
is out of sympathy with the majority
of the local state organizations in his
own party. The Southern states are
as little in sympathy with Woodrow
| Wilson, who stands for the initiative
and referendum, workingmen's COM
pensatory laws, child labor legislation
and commission government which
M axes the people the legislature in
cities, as President Taft is out of SYM
pathy with the Republican organiza-
ton in Kansas, California, Wisconsin
and Michigan. Wilson would make
good Republican nominee; Taft the
ieal Democratic nominee. Some mad
genius seems to have played mean
trick upon the two parties by heading
each of them with man particularly
fitted to oppose it. In this crazy stu
alton, which reads like Alice in Won
derland, with Bryan hypnotizing an
unwilling party into subconscious
declaration of righteousness and
Barnes, of New York, advocating
harikari by way of diversion as a plan
of salvation. it may be possible that a
new party, starting in some sort of
sanity and unham pered by either Re
publican locomotor ataxia or Demo
cratic tremens, may find itself a
Moses. In the meantime it would
seem to be highly proper for perplexed
gentlemen of both parties who desire
to see things clearly to go out and take
a large cooling drink of buttermilk-
that cheers but not inebriates, in
moderate quantities, of course-say

TOAST TO THE REUNITED.

Nothing is more interesting to the
public than the re-courtship, re-win-
ming, re-marriage and re honeymoon
of a couple who have quarreled and
parted. In the case of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mrs. Jack Cudahy, the re.marriage OF
an estranged couple touches the
heights of romance. This is so be-
cause of extraordinary sensational
features of their quarrel.
There are several lessons in the
affair. One is that outraged hub who
fights for his mate does SO not always
from the ignoble passion of jealousy
but because away down in the bottom
of his heart The feels that something
very precious to him is at stake. The
fact that he returns to his wife after
the white light of publicity has beaten
pittilessly upon their domestic hearth
shows that his heart stood true through
it all.
What of the woman? Why, she
vindicates anew her age.long charac-
ter. What woman that ever lived
could resist the lure of a man who will
fight for her? The harder he fights
his rival, the better she loves him,
And Jack Cudahy certainly finished
his man.
Finally, there is the lesson for the
scoundrels who prey upon the homes
Of other men. In the end they get the
contempt not only of the public, but
of the woman they sought TO be-
tray.
Here's to Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Cudahy. May they live happily ever
after.-M Madison. j Journal.
