Will Send Drunkards to Hospital.

Milwaukee News: Under Il recent
law passed by the last Legislature, Dist.
Atty. Edward Yockey has petitioned
the county court to declare Matthew
NJ. Riley and Jacobina Rautenberg
habituaI drunkards in order that they
may be confined for two years in
special ward in the Milwaukee County
Hospital for the Insane.
Jacobina Rautenberg has been con-
victed of drunkenness eighty times in
the District court.
Riley was at one time one of the best
known attorneys in Milwaukee, and he
formerly headed the Prohibition move
ment in Wisconsin. He is in the county
iail-a complete physical wreck.
We'll start in on these two, said
Yociley land later We'll single out all
the drunkards one by one, and send
them up for indeterminate periods,
Under the old law the maximum
punishment for drunkenness was nine
ty days in the house of correction.
Scores of what are known as repeat
ers have thus been sentenced time and
again.
Now the law provides that any per
son declared to be a habitual drunkard,
or whose conduct convinces the court
that the person is habitual criminal,
may be committed from two to seven
years.
There is little use in arrestins peo-
pie like Jacobina Ran tenberg and Mat
thew Riley. time and time again, only
to send them TO the worknouse for
ninety days the district attorney said;
I'VE now have the power 10 send
such persons to an asylum where they
can be properly cared for, and we in
tend to take advantage OF the law.

GROWERS IMPROVING
BADGER POTATOES

Wisconsin is rapidly coming to the
front in the production of high-class
potatoes: and by careful selection of
seed. proper crop rotation and the
planting of only a few standard va
rieties, her growers will annually be
in position to supply the trade with
large quantities of dependable seed
stock and the fanciest of market
tubers The progress made along
thi line during the past two years
is largely due TO the cooperation of
the growers in the formation of the
Wisconsin Potato Growers associa-
ton of which James G. Milward of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture is
the secretary.
Further cooperation of the growers
in the selection of seed stock will be
urged at the state convention of the
association to be held at Rhinelander
on November 20 and 81. Following

stood still, waiting. Something in his
positive attitude drove Judith at last to
obedience, while her heart almost ceased
to beat. Brady was to shoot to kill the
woman on the professors right! Mrs.
Locke, with comfortable laugh, dropped
into her usual gait, dragging from her
husbands arm. Even in the awful mo-
ment of conviction the thought went
through Judith's mind that delicate
man must find it a burden to have
heavy woman always dragging at his
arm. But instantly her brain became
busy again with the approaching denoue-
ment.
1t was evidently no hoax: the professor
meant to put the plan through. He had
tried to get rid of her; but he meant to
put the nights plan through at all haz-
ards. She looked up into his face, trying
to read through the darkness what was
written there. His wife chuckled again
with that wifely sense of security, of
superiority over the single woman who
had no strong masculine arm on which to
lean. If there was anything unusual in
her husbands mood, she evidently did
not sense it. Judith wondered if it could
possibly be her own inner knowledge
that colored every move and made his
conduct appear strange.

[ ROSTRUM
Fielder and the Jury Bill.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t would probably interest many
people besides myself to know exact
ly why Governor Fielder and his fol-
lowers take the stand they do on the
jury bill They know they represent
the people, yet when proof positive
is given that these same people want
to vote on the proposed judge made
jury the Governor ignores their plea.
1t is daily becoming more evident
that the public is opposed to the
judge-made juries as an imposition
on it's rights. Here in Essex we have
our evidence of 1t in the action of the
Essex Trades Council, representing
thousands of voters, and in the reso-
luton of a thousand of Newarks
representative men at the Jefferson
Day dinner, and this is only small
part of the many in Essex who are
clamoring, although not publicly, for
a chance to vote on the bill.
There was little justice in Eng
land in the days of the Assizes, be-
cause the jury was not a representa-
tive one. Are we going back to those
conditions? That is practically what
will happen if we are compelled to
sit back and watch a dictator legis-
late away our rights at law.
