new COURTS PROPOSED NOW
Bill to Prevent Marriages of Certain
Glasses Of People Prepared by Pays
ician and Amendments to the Statutes
Will Make Divorces Less Frequent.
@-.-------.-------

Domestic relation bills are going to
be more numerous before this legisla-
ture than at any previous session IN
years. Probab bly, the most important
bill on this subject that will be pre-
sented at this session is a measure
which, if adopted, will remove the
present ban against husband and wife
giving testimony for or against each
other in criminal and civil actions.
Several states have already removed
this ban, which has descended to the
state as a legacy from the old COM
mon law. The presumption was that
husband and wife were in such close
relationship that they should not be
allowed to give testimony for or
against each other, it being deemed
that they were one in the eyes of the
law and that their relations were such
that their testimony for or against
each other would tend to perjury be-
cause of the mutual interest which
they might have in anything at stake
in civil action and perhaps in many
classes Of criminal actions.
The new theory of the law as re-
CARDS women has rather done away
with this idea, and in many states
there is now no disability in the recep-
ton of the wife's testimony in either
criminal or civil action where tho
interests of the husband are at stake
or vice versa Of receiving the testi-
nony Of the husband in actions whore
the interests of the wife are at stake.
Whether Wisconsin will follow the rule
Of the more progressive states and re-
move what is called a I" disability
remains to be seen. Several members
of the Judiciary committee seem very
much inclined to the bill and it is

The first report on the work that IS
being done by vocational schools IN
the state of Wisconsin has been sent
TO the state superintendent by Warren
E. Hicks, who is at the head of this
movement in the state and the report
shows that Kenosha ranks high IN the
attendance of these schools. Kenosha
II shown to have more pupils in these
schools than many Of the cities of the
state with considerably larger popu-
lation. In his report Mr.. Hicks says;
''On June l, 1912, the assistant for
Industrial education, who has general
supervision under the law over the
public industrial schools, aud over all
public, evening schools, continuation
schools and commercial schools, began

superintendent of public instruction.

READY FOR CHANGES.
American Express Co. Issues Orders to
Local Agent Relative to Parcels Post.

For the information and guidance
of the company's employees, we print
herewith the substance OF an article
which will appear in the January
President 5 Office Circular:
Through the fuller installation Of
the government parcels post On jan
uary /, 1913, new system, for which
there seems to be a demand, has en-
tered the transportation field, afford
ing the public an additional service
on shipments of eleven pounds and
less which at no time in the past has
this company opposed nor will it in
the future. This policy must be
strictly maintained by our officials and
employees by refraining from any atti-
tude unfriendly to or of criticism Of
1.-THE parcels post; devoting their time
and attention towards the continued
development of the efficiency OF the
company s service to the pubic.
With it's enormous resources and
l,vast commercial interests, this country
is large enough for both express com.
panies and the parcels post. Each
will serve the public in its respective
capacity, and the conclusion can safe,
ly be drawn that the shipping com.
munity will carefully consider the
|ibenefts to be derived from the ser.
vice rendered by both systems, utiliz
ing that which best meets their re-
quirements.
From a very small beginning in The
year 1S41, the business of the Ameri
can Express Company has grown an6
developed until today it is is an i'm
poTtant factor to the commercial in
terests of the country in respect of its
forwarding facilities and in a multi
| tude Of other different directions
which virtually embrace the execution
iof all legitimate commercial and fnan
cial transactions requiring persona
representation on behalf of oul
patrons.
The company will continue to give
| its patrons service that will NEE
their needs-simple, efficient and com
plete in all details with the assurance
Of increased facilities as fast as tht
growth of traffic and business inter
ests require it and the hope that oul
efforts will meet with the cooperation

probable it viii be reported favoraoly
from that committee.
Woman sufragists generally favor
the law to permit husband and wife to
testify for and against each other on
the theory that they viii support any
measure which will place the woman
on an equal footing with man and
make the married women as free from
any legal obligation as the femme
sole, which is the title given an IN
married woman under the old common
law. Wisconsin has gone long way
already in removing the disabilities
of married women.
SO far as married women are con
cerned, they can in this state have
! ! their sole and separate estate which is
| not subject to the husband S debts
and, in fact, so far as property rela
tions are concerned, married woman
is practically free from any MARTA
obligations. The laws On this subject
were most of them passed over de
cade ago, and some of the laws, IN
deed, were passed as long as twenty
wears ago. Mrs. Kate Pier, a vel
known Wisconsin. woman who for
merly practiced law with her daugh
tiers in Milwaukee, having been prime
mover in securing the statute which
Wisconsin already has upon those
subjects.
Another domestic relations question
which will come before this Legislature
will be that of the establishment of {
! domestic relations court. The initia
bill on the subject will probably pro
vide fof the establishment of such ;
court in Milwaukee county. Coming
legislatures, however, if the milwaukee,
court proves a success, will be asked
to create similar courts in other coun
ties of the state. Winnebago, Dougla
and. Lacrosse being among those men
toned as possible aspirants for domes
| tic relations courts.
These courts will have jurisdiction O.
all domestic troubles, such as divorces
abandonment, and other eases of
like character. Humanitarians VIII
have studied the subject claim tina
where the courts have been established
they have proved great successes. |
is said that the object Of the court
is to give tribunal which shall hav
wide latitude in delving to the bot
tom of marital troubles and if posi-
BILE preventing instead Of aiding In tn
separation of families. Chicago has.
domestic relations court and it is sai'
that the same has proved very valu
able adjunct to the legal machinery o
Cook county, and that in the city o
Chicago it has accompLf led grea
deal in preventing the separation o
families.
Before adjourning this legislator
will probably adopt new statute o.

The Chicago Auto Show this
year was certainly a wonderful
show. Over 300 cars were on
exhibition in three splendidly
dec rated buildirgs-the Coli
scum, Annex and the Fifteenth
Regiment Armory. The 1918
feature which seemed mostly to
interest il qnirirg buyers was
the self starter. These con-
sisted mainly of three tyr es-
the gus, compre ssed air and
electric. The gas starter dur
ing the past year has proved
itself both inefficient and dan
gerous to the motor and re-
ceived but scant attention.
Much attention was given to
six-cylinder models also, and

Hamilton, Montana.-Dear
Folks at Home: l am wonder
ing if the Mr.. "Groundhog"
saw his shadow in Mo. Valley
and if it had the same effect as
1T did here in Montana. On
J, the 4th of this month it began
to snow and kept it up until
about IL or ID inches deep, but
not very cold, until the 9Th
when the mercury commenced
falling and did not let up until
down to "a below zero here in
this little Valley. About 20
miles from here at the "Fitter
Root" Inn, where the real es-
tate men are boosting his irri-
gated land, it was down to 40
below; now they all claim this
is quite an exceptionally cold
winter, and suppose there is
some truth in the first time she
has ever had frozen pipes in
The house. They are having a
taste of what we in Iowa had
last winter. In the canyons
and on the mountains the snow
is from 20 to 80 feet deep on
the level. Pm thinking they
will not need their irrigatirg
iitches very mrch when it
commences to melt in the
pring for there will be plenty
If water all around them. In
speaking of water, will say they
lave the finest water here, and
hat is why it is so heathful.
The reservoir is about 6 miles
from town and is fed from the
okalkahO river which in turn is
fed from the SHOWS on the
mountains and it certainly
makes fine drinking water.
