BERLIN-Andrew Carnegie has
an entirely new scheme for world
peace which he intends to submit to
the Kaiser when he comes here on
June II to congratulate the German
emperor on his peaceful reign of
twenty-five years. Mr.. Carnegie's
plan, which he expects to go into op-
Grafton as the browning achievement
of Emperor Williams reign, is for the
Kaiser to take the initiative in reduc-
ing ornaments and ask the other ma
tions to follow his example.

commission. Senator Bosshard in
support Of the amendment said that
the legislature is being severely criti-
cised for arranging what are consid-
cred by many as junketing trips for
legislators. There is another angle
to the introduction of the amendment,
which, it is claimed, was introduced
so that Governor McGovern would not
be able to pay off political debts to
any members of the present legisla-
ture by making them to serve on the
commission.

for the governorship or the United
States senatorship
The legislature has not been so
busy that it has not found time to
talk and play politics. The progress
sive La Toilette Republicans are in
dulging in politics in the old-fashion-
ed way by asking men in the ranks
what they think of this or that man
for this or that Office. Because of
his many years of active participation
in state government and because of
his following with the Republican par
ty, Mr.. Morris looms across the poll
tical horizon as an exceptionally
strong candidate for any office he may
seek. If there is a proper response
of sentiment Mr. Morris will probably
be the La Toilette candidate for the
senate. If sentiment indicates that
the Republican leaders feel that Mr..
Morris can serve the best interests
of his party by running for the gov
ernorship, someone else will be
chosen to enter the campaign for the
senatorship against Governor Mccoy
ern. The Morris boom is crystallizing
and causing much talk.
In the event that Mr.. Morris runs
for the senate State Senator Otto
Bosshard Of La Crosse, another
strong La Toilette man, may run for
governor.

MONEY GOES TO DEPENDENTS

Bill Has Passed the State Legislature
and Will Be Signed by the Govern

Madison, Wis, May 27.-(SpeciaD.
The good old days of card playing
and a life of ease in the county jails
of Wisconsin for minor offenders, in
GLIDING Migrants, are thing of the
past. The legislature has passed
bill which Governor McGovern will
sign which will make life in jail de-
cidedly real and earnest.
The bill provides that prisoners
shall work, and that they shall be
paid for their services, the money to
be turned over to persons who may
be dependent upon them. In the
event that there are no persons to
whom the money may be turned over,
the prisoners will be compelled to
work anyway.
1t has been d notorious fact that
many men have sought terms in
many of the county jails of Wiscon-
sin because they knew that during
the winter months it meant a warm
place to sleep, fairly good board and
no work. In the past, few county
jails have maintained a system of Ia
Dor for prisoners. In the future,
however, there will be plenty to do.
