Since the days of our childhood, when
Hans Andersen was our f~avourite author, we
have had a great wish to visit the enchant-
ed land of Denmark. Not until last summer,
however, was that wish realised, when,
longing for fresh fields and pastures new,
my brothers and I decided to spend our
holidays at Klampenborg. near Copenhagen.
The journey thither was in itself a delight
crossing the North Sea; Jutland with It's
heather-covere moors and silver lakes; the
Great ahd little Belts; and the islands OF

es a charm peculiarly its own. The name

should be careful to see that the seals

Wisconsin contributes the names of
twenty-nine killed and twenty-seven
wounded to the list of casualties of
the hunting season. Most people will
consider the price rather heavy one
for the amount of game, but those fami-
liar with the situation in the north
woods declare that the number killed
and wounded is below the average of
other years considering the number of
hunters in the woods this fall The rec
ord will undoubtedly lead to an at
tempt by the next legislature to pass
laws to prevent the slaughter but the
outlook for effective legislation is not
very hopeful. Michigan with the most
stringent laws ever passed for the pro-
lection of the hunters averaged right
up with the states that have no laws
worthy of he name on that subject in
the number of casualties in its hunting
fields. But all that will be expected of
the Wisconsin Legislature is trial. Adj
nit that any laws passed are in the
nature of an experiment and subject
to revision if proven ineffective, but
try something.

Mr.. Fricke contended that only in
New Zealand was such a law tried and
there an amendment was necessary to
permit the service and compensation of

Fricke said that in Ohio and Washing

operative and permit the increase of

In Wisconsin, he said, the attempt
is made to inaugurate a state plan at
fixed premium which cannot be in
creased under any conditions, and in
event of impairment the result must
be failure or the scaling or reduced
payments under policy claims.
It was also contended that the state
life fund law is unconstitutional as a
delegation of legislative authorities to
the commissioner of Insurance, and al
so as imposing responsibilities and
liabilities upon the state which it has
no right or authority to assume. He
further objected to the facts that the
law does not authorize the employment
Of any Of the funds Of the state or the
moneys of other taxpayers to pay any
part of the cost of the policy holders
in the state life fund, that either the
state fund is now impaired or other
funds have been unlawfully used to pay
the cost of organization, promotion and
management, and that with policy hold
ers under the fund, placed on an equal
basis of other regular companies, the
state cannot furnish insurance at a
lower cost.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1918.

Guided by the new spirit of histori-
cal research, the iconoclasts have
smashed few idols in our national
museum Of late, or rather they have
clipped away certain excrescences The
father of our country has not escaped
Ia fact for which many are profound
ly grateful. Washington, it seems, was
not the frigid model of perfection we
were piously taught in youth. He was
weak in spelling, he occasionally used
pretty strong language, and was indeed
in many respects not unlike the other
robust country gentlemen OF his period.
Being endowed with a few human
foibles, he has gained rather than lost
in our regard, for supermen, however
useful, are undeniably uncomfortable
companions.
On the other hand, we were allowed
TO believe as children that Washington
was rather an amateur civil engineer,
who perfected himself in his art as he
went along. Now it appears that he is
entitled to more respect, for recent
government survey has revealed the
fact that when he ran his lines with
chain and compass through the wilder
ness Of Virginia he marked out bound
aries with such surprising accuracy that
highly trained engineers, using the
most delicate modern instruments, are
unable to better his work. This is a.
high tribute to Washington skill and
ingenuity and to his clear brain. 1t
begins to be plain enough that in the
give and take of historical research
Washington will not suffer jot as
national heTo.-Record Herald.

Farmers Association Would
Demand Educational Limit
For Hunting Licenses.
MANY JOINING ASSOCIATION

Over FIVE hundred farmers in Racine
and Kenosha counties have signed to
become members of the Farmers Pro
tective Association of Wisconsin. 1t is
expected to get 1000.
The objects is to get protection by
legislation on hunting license, on tres
pass, law on damaging property or
stealing, to deputize each member.
This movement resulted because of
reckless hunters visiting farms, kill
ing chickens, ducks, geese and often
hitting cattle and other live stock. 1t
is said the farmers of the county have
been damaged more than $4,000 this
year.
The association, when organized will
advocate that no license be issued to a
boy under 16, that shooting galleries
should be provided in each school in
cities for boys and girls between IA
and 16 years of age, that no license
should be issued to any person that
cannot read, that each farmer should
be allowed to hunt on his own premises
without license, limiting him to killing
of game for his own use, that any man
carrying a gun in a township where
no license is issued, should be fined $25
and costs.
On the trespass law the proposition
is to enact a bill providing fine of
$25 for the simple act of crossing a

Many Counties in State do
Not Provide for Payment
of Mothers Pensions"
FAIL TO SEE VALUE OF Law

Opposition to the extending of aid to
mothers under the provisions of the
mothers pension act have arisen in
quite number of the counties of the
state on the ground that the special
provision for aid to mothers under the
direction of the probate court such as
is authorized by the law is unneces-
sary and heavy burden on the tax
payers Of the county.
Dane county, the seat of the capital,
is one of the counties in which one of
the hardest fights is being waged
against the acceptance Of the con-
ditions of the law, the opposition com
ing in the form of fight against the
necessary appropriation to carry out
the provisions of the act
So active is the fight against the
measure in Dane county that on Tues
day night Judge Rosa of Beloit, who
as member of the assembly from
Dane county, was the author Of the
bill before the legislature on the SUBJ
ject, was called to Madison to appear
before a county board committee in
favor Of the BILL
The argument in favor of the meas
ure is that it will cost but very little
more to administer assistance to de-
serving mothers under the provisions
of the law than if the family was
cared for by the poor relief or the
children were taken away from the
home and cared for in public institu-
tions, and that much better results are
obtained if the mothers are allowed to
care for the children in the home.
The law as passed on the subject Of
mothers pensions was a LaFollette
measure and the county aid plan was
adopted at the instance of the LaFol-
lette men in the legislature as against
the state aid plan to be administered
under the direction of the state board
of control which was advocated by the
McGovern followers. Assemblyman
Holmes of Madison, one of the chief
LaFollette ieutenants in the state, is
taking great interest in the fight in
Dane county over the bill and is MAX
ing an effort to secure the adoption by
the Dane county board of a resolution
accepting the measure.
Besides the fight in Dane county
there are battles on in several Northern
and Western Wisconsin counties against
the adoption of the law.

An attack on the state life fund

William A. Fricke Of Wausau, presi-
dent of the Employers Mutual Liabili-

that he was opposed to the ''experi-

the business of life insurance that re-
CURED correction, because the state,
charging the full cost OF operation and
management to policy holders of the
fund and making them contributors to
the revenues of the state equally with
policy holders Of other insurance com
panies cannot furnish life insurance
at less cost than required in other
companies.
That there was no demand on the
part Of the people for the law is
evidenced, he said, in the fact that it
required two years and three months
to secure the required two hundred ap-

Change With New Members.

Now, then the point which / wish
to make IN conclusion is that if this
plan has been found not feasible; in
other words, if they, through ignorance
or lack of understanding, wrote US fell
lows SO that we would become burden
in the future, why continue this plan
upon the new members? Why go out
and write new members upon plan
that they admit will soon become a
liability instead Of an asset. Let them
find out what an adequate rate would
be for the new members that would
carry them for all time in the future.
Let the head consul and the deputies
put in all their time in going out and
writing new members upon an ade-
quate rate which they all seem to favor
and which they ali claim would be so
easy to get business under When US
old fellows have passed away and the
society has been lifted of the burden
of us the new blood will be upon an
adequate rate, which would be far
lower than the rates of any society
and it would be strong enough to take
care of the few that are the halt, the
manned and the blind of us who still
may be members Of the order.
Says Plan is Feasible.
II have been member Of this socie-
ty thirty years All my life I have as
ISOLATED more or less with actuaries-
not those who are hired to get up tables
for societies whether the members wish
them or not--but men who are versed
in mathematical calculations, and they
one and all have stated that plan of
this kind is feasible; would not work
hardship upon any one, and no doubt
our head officers would be more than
pleased to adopt it; if not, we could
easily get head officers that would.
~ submit this plan for the consider
alton of the members in Northern ILL
nois, because / have realized that we
cannot get anywhere by simply tearing
down the plans of others. We should
have an antidote in the shape Of plan
that will appeal to the membership
and show that us old lame ducks are
not charity seekers but are perfectly
willing to contribute our just shase
towards the perpetuity Of the society

ed to loaning our money out on four
