served through an appropriation OF
state to be peddled out over the
state in such a way that it amounts to
nothing more than a graft to be used
by an aspiring state official in such a
way as to amount to $4,000 campaign
fund for his personal benefit. No paper
opposed to the secretary of state ever
gets a cent, regardless of the number
of people the paper may serve; and
no paper, however, small, that may be
counted on to give loyal support to the
hand that distributes the appropria,
ton, will fail to land the plum.
The time has come when public
printing should be taken out of the
hard of public officials entirely. Ida
no should have the Iowa law. The of
fetal paper in the county is the paper
that can show the largest legitimate
circulation in the county We believe
the Iowa law specifies that the work
shall go to two or three papers, one
OF which must be IN the county seat.
and that each paper must get the work
on basis of the number of taxpayers
actually served This plan does not tie
the hands of the newspapers. All the
papers have 10 do is to serve the peo-
pie. They are under no obligation to
anybody but the people. 1t gives no
orfxy OH nc
papers of the state or the county.

WILL RAE "GHOST" BUILDING
School Children Say Scene of Double
Killing is Haunted,

WARRENSVILLE, ILL.,, Feb. IL
Stories that ghosts haunt the little
school house here in which Sylvester
Adams shot and killed Miss Edith
Smith, the teacher, and committed sui
eide last month, have so frightened the
pupils they dread to attend sessions in
it, and so the authorities have deter
mined to raze the building and erect
new school.
Meanwhile children will attend a
school in Aurora The distance is
greater, but the children say they
would prefer trudging the extra rods

A system of espionage as bad as tina

workmen, who are underpaid and over

| Brandeis of Boston, well-known So
ciologist and legislative reformer
Tuesday told members of the City
Club at luncheon.
Brandeis said the alleged dissolution
of the tobacco and oil trusts was a
sham, and that since the disintegra-
ton of those corporations tobacco and
oil stocks have increased in value and
are owned by the same persons in the
same quantities as before. He said the
trusts are proceeding as before the
separation on the policy what man
has illegally put together, let no court
put asunder." Claiming the directors
of the steel trust, which he designated
as 'the greatest of all trusts" prac
tically control the money of the coun-
try, he added: "The claim that trusts
are necessary to perfect business is
not founded on fact"
The speaker was introduced by F.
P. Crunden, former president Of the
club. Brandeis, whose subject was

RURAL LIBRARY PRIVILEGES

The people of the town of Baraboo
have for four years enjoyed the privi-
Ieges Of the city library.
Otner towns having business rela-
tions with the city of Baraboo might
! just as we'll avail themselves CT the
| library advantages by payment of a
small annual fee. The use of the
library was first secured to the town
through efforts of the Skillet Greek
Farmers club. After the terms of the
library board had been ascertained a
resolution was offered and carried at
the town meeting, instructing the
town board to secure for the town
there library privileges for an annual
payment of forty dollars. Since the
first year the town board has included
the appropriation for the library among
its recommend ations The towns of Del
ton, Fairfield and Greenfield might
just as we'll have the same privileges as
are enjoyed by the people of Baraboo
town. All that is needed is for some
person or persons in each town TO as
sertain from the library board what
might be the annual charges for each
town. Next in order will be for some
person to offer suitable resolution at
the town meeting. This being seconded
and adopted, leaves for the town board
to complete arrangements with the Ii
brary board giving residents OF the
town the same privilege for use of
books as would be if they lived in
the city. 1t is probable that a
lesser fee would be charged
for these town as they are
less population than the town of Bar
aboo and farther from the city. There
are about $50 cards taken by residents
of Baraboo which indicates a nuch
larger number of readers 1t does not
seem necessary to extolI the advan-
tages of the library to intelligent peo-
pie. When we consider the list of the
library to the people of the city of
Baraboo, the small amount charged for
rural service seems almost like a free
gift. Doubtless most of the cities in
Wisconsin would be willing in the.
same way ito, encourage in this way
mutual relations between city and
country. The city of Reedsburg
offers library privileges to residents of
nearby towns and it is hoped that
all may soon avail themselves of the

St. PATRICK S PLAY
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

The entertainment given under the
auspices of Mrs. August Ringling for
the benefit of the new st. Joseph S
parochical school last night at the
Lycsum threatre, in which Miss Alice
Ringing took leading part, was a
great success. The theatre was pacA-
ed and it is safe to say that every
one was we'll pleased with the pro.
gram.
The opening number was q song by
the Glee club of the, high school which
elected number of encores. Miss
Alice Ringing then appeared in a
comic costume and sang a fitting
selection "Now | Have to Call Him
Father" and responded to the applause
with another comic song. The opera
selections by Miss Anna Holahan
were rare treat for the people of Bar
aboo and apparently the audience cou d
not get enough of the singing by
Alexius Baas who was called upon for
half dozen encores.
A one act comedy entitled "The
Postscript" was presented by Miss
Alice Ringing and Alexius Baas
which pleased everyone and caused
much laughter. The characters of the
comedy were Nine. Verliere, Miss
Ringing, and M. de Lancy, Alexius
Baas, anG each Carried the part per-
feet y. The sketch is a romance IN
which M. de Lancy wins the love of
Nine. Verliere. He is a bachelor, who
all at once becomes smitten, and wishes
to win the love OF Nine. Verliere, who
is widow and in love with another
man. NJ. De Lancy's method is a
rather peculiar one but he is success
full in the end.
Miss Ringing has already received
much favorable criticism as an actress
and she won the favor of all present
last night.
