A GOOD NONE.

In the caucas Of house democrats, the
Underwood Clark conservatives retain
ed control, but the seniority rule in the
composition of committees was smashed
in accordance with progressive de-
mands. The triumph of the progressive
democrats in the senate also constitutes
a blow to the seniority rule in that
body.-Press dispatch from Washing
ton.
In the Senate as in the House the
seniority rule, the last refuge of reac
tionary standpatism, has been put aside.
When, weeks ago. Mr.. Bryan denounced
the rigid rule or seniority, he has at
tackled for alleged advocacy of govern
ment by untried and unknown men.
AS a matter of fact, the smashing of the
rule of seniority involves no such thing.
In many instances it involves the very
opposite. Mere seniority sacrifices
ability and skill to claims based on
length of service. regardless of the
quality of the service.-From editorial
article in the Chicago Record Herald
The contest of last year over the in -.

FOR A PROGRESSIVE CITY.

Now that Mineral Point is to have q
municipal building and federal
building, few words in regard to
keeping the city abreast Of the times
may not be out Of place.
The spring season is approaching
and first and foremost, householders
and others should realize the necessity
of aiding in the work Of putting the
city in n clean, tidy and healthful con-
dition. This can be done by hearty
cooperation Of citizens in general with
the mayor, the council, health officer
and street foreman. The problem is
one which confronts all cities and
villages. and various methods are
employed to solve it. In some of the
larger cities prizes are given by civic
societies for the best kept premises,
neatest back yards, etc. In some
places clearing up days are appointed
and the interest and assistance of old
and young enlisted in the work. While
Mineral Point has made considerable
advance along the lines here indi Gated
there Is great need OF further ADVANCES.
The removal of rubbish which has
accumulated during the winter season
Is a matter with which nearly every
body has to deal. While it Is the duty
Of the city authorities to see that the
streets and alleys are kept from rub
bish, it should be made rs easy az
possible for people to do 80. Neat and
tidy surroundings add to the value Of
property and to the appearance of the
city as whole. In some places the
plan has been adopted to have property
owners during the spring season gather
which have accumulated during the
winter and then fix certain times for
pense of the city. This plan has been
adopted in our neighboring city Of
Platteville, and we understand works
we'll
Mineral Point is going forward. 1t
can and should be made clean,
healthful city. Upwards of II dozen
fine houses were erected here last year
and number are in contemplation for
the coming season. Civic pride should
prompt every resident to do his or her
dart towards making tho city attractive
to visitors and place where people
will delight to dwell

Seniority rule, or rule by holding
over, has far too long hindered govern
ment by the people. Congress has act
ed wisely in deciding that it shall not
be rigidly adhered to. Under the new
order length of service will not out
weigh every other consideration in fill
ing important committees, New men
of exceptional ability and character will
not be compelled to follow older mem
bers unable to lead. But members of
ability and character and of long SER

which will be all the more honorable
because not determined altogether by

out of all Israel and made them heads

Looking Forward.

Milwaukee Journal The enthusiasm
which has greeted President Wilson s
inaugural address has shown once more
that the whole country is looking for
such leader and that it is not con-
cerned much with the question of
whether he calls himself Democrat,
Republican or Progressive. The one
thing perfectly clear is that he cannot
be reactionary and receive the support
of the voters. With this example be-
fore them, Wisconsin Democrats must
realize that there is no longer any hope
in Tory policies.

FIRE DEVAsTATES FAMOUS

Portsmouth, England, Dec. Pa
fire, involving damages variously estt-
mated at from S1,25O,0 900 to S2,500,00O,
devastated the famous dock yard here
Saturday night and resulted in the loss
of two lives and the destruction OF the
century-Old semaphOre tower, which, IN
the re-telegraph days, was the great
signalling station between the fleet and
the admiralty.
An examination of the ruins disclosed
the fact that two of the three signal
men who had remained in the tower to
summon help when the fire broke out
were burned to death. The third es-
capped through the smoke and flames
to an adjoining roof and fell uncon-
scious. He was revived subsequently.
Nothing is known as to how the fire
originated.
