CANNOT STOP
JACK JOHNSON
FIGHTER HAS THROUGH TICKET
TO HANRE AND CANADA LAW
WILL LET HIM PASS.

Washington, ID. C.-With all hope
abandoned of securing the deporta-
ton of Jack johnson from Canada,
officials of state and justice depart
ments will begin examination of extra
dition treaties with European coun-
tries to determine whether the negro
a be eXtradited within European
boundaries. His destination is said to
be Havre. johnson is out on bail on a
sentence of a year for conviction un-
der the white slave law.
Montreal, Canada.-Jack Johnson,
negro pugilist, accompanied by his
white wife, Lucille Cameron Johnson,
is booked to sail for Havre on the
Allen line steamer Corinthian, Sun
day morning. Canadian immigration
officials located Johnson last night
with a view of taking summary de-
portation action should he fail to
comply with the restrictions of the
immigration laws.
The negro pugilist in response to a
demand by the officials, produced
through ticket for Havre purchased
in Chicago. BY this bit of strategy
Johnson tied the hands of the author
tiles in Canada. They are powerless
to act further than to see that he
leaves the country on the ship on
which he is booked to sail.
To the immigration officials
Johnson said that on June 90 he pur-
chased two through tickets in Cnl-
cago for Havre in the name of John
Arthur Johnson and wife, that he
boarded a train for Toronto Tuesday
night, left it at Hamilton and motor
ed to Toronto where he boarded an
other train for Montreal. He said
he was not questioned by immigra-
ton officials at the Canadian border
and experienced no difficulty in cross
ing the line. Johnson said he was
fully advised of his rights and priv
ileges before leaving Chicago.

WISCONSIN DEl
BY CHARLES X. VAN HISE
President of the University of Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Idea Is a
not a definite achievement or series
OF achievements. Probably no two
men would phrase this purpose the
same; for each would he influenced
IN his statement by the particular
advances that most appeal to him
under the motive force of the idea.
To the writer, the Wisconsin Idea
Is to substitute collectivism for indi-
vidualism. The ardent individualists
of the 18th century, exemplified In an
extreme form in the pioneer days by
the men Of the Middle and Far West,
must he replaced by men who rec
ognize full social responsibility. This
purpose is the Wisconsin reply to the
man who said to Jesus nearly two
thousand years ago: WHO is my
%brother?"
The forms of action which have
resulted from putting the Wisconsin
Idea into practice are manifold. Only
two or three Illustrations can be Civ
en-.
The Wisconsin Idea demands that
the system of state supported educa-
ton must be of the broadest scope.
The system must provide continual
ltion Of vocational work for the hoy
and girl who would otherwise leave
the schools at fourteen; 1t must pro-
vide high grade technical instruction
along numerous lines and thus make
many fields, instead of two or three,
professions; 1t must carry to the peo-
pie who are beyond school age all
the knowledge which they can utilize
for their advancement, both material
and intellectual. This system must be
SO ,~co-ordained and SO free that the
boy of parts may find a way to the
field to which his talents lead him;
1.-the education of a boy or girl must
depend solely upon ability and not
upon condition of birth. If we are
able to hold open the door of oppor-
~ltunity for education In all fields
without respect to station, we shall
/ maintain in this country the essen
ltlals of a democracy.
1t is this conception of education
that has led the University of Wis
consin to assist in serving all parts
OF the educational structure within
the state, whether publicly or pri-
yately supported. 1t is this concep-
ton of education that has led the
university to introduce professional
schools and colleges In agriculture,
domestic science. journalism, train
ing of t%eachers, etc. 1t is this concep-
ticn that has led the university to
Establish an extension division on the
broadest basis, with the hope that the
benefits of the university shall direct
Ny or indirectly reach every citizen of
the state. 1t is this conception that
has led The university to give assist
ance as expert whenever requested by
my governmental or social %organiza-
tion, whether state. county, city, or
village. In short the ideal of the uni
versity is to render service, while at
the same time inflexibly holding to
search for truth and to freedom in
the teaching.

A HEAVY BURDEN
A BAD BACK MAKES LIFE MIS-.

A bad back is a heavy burden.

| were: The University of Wisconsin
commentaries fifty years of service
TO the commonwealth" and looking
forward the men of the university
are thrilled by the possibilities for
UNNECESSARILY larger service in the
future than in the past.
In government, the Wisconsin Idea
demands that for political science the
emphasis shall pass from the word
political" to the word Science"
Therefore, before constructive legis-
lation is attempted, so far as possible,
all the facts related to a subject are
gathered and considered, including
exhaustive Investigations regarding
the practices of other states and ma
tions. BY this procedure the enact
ment Of laws passes from the empiri-
cal methods. obtaining in the past, to
the scinetific stage. Under this meth
Cd, we may have as reasonable a pro
liability for success in a new attempt
IN political science as in other sci
ences.
This view of legislation has re-
suited In making our first advance
steps in Wisconsin,, government by
expert. Illustrations are furnished by
the tax commission, the public utili-
ties commission, and the industrial
commission. Each of these commits
sions is composed of three experts. In
each case the three members of a
commission represent respectively
the theoretical, the practical, and the
public points of view. The develop
y ment of government by expert, com
bined with the attempt broadly to
carry knowledge to the people
through extension, before the intro
duction of the initiative and r%eferen-
dunn, show the essentially sane and
conservative oh aracter of the Wiscon-
sin movement. From our point of
view, the initiative, referendum, and
recall ara to be the last instead of
the first steps in the reconstructed
government of the twentieth century.
The Wisconsin Idea of property is
that no one has possession for him
self alone,-that each is a trustee
to the nation for the property en-
trusted to his care. This principle is
applied alike to the man who holds
forty acres of land and to the man
who has great wealth. This doctrine
has been expressed in state laws in
many ways, but perhaps no more
compreh ensively than by the simple
conservation law, enacted two years
ago, making it a misdemeanor UNI
necessarily to waste or wilfully to
destroy a natural resource.
Whatever advances we have made
in Wisconsin, we have fallen far
short of accomplishing the full pur-
hpose of the Wisconsin Idea; indeed
for only about n dozen years have we
been consciously working under it.
The purpose will remain the same for
many decades, perhaps for centuries.
The amplifications of this purpose in
action no man has the vision to fore
see; but If this purpose be finally full
,ly accomplished for Wisconsin, that
state will have given a concrete ans
wer to the question. WHO is my bro
ther?'-The Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ILLINOIS.
Gov. Dunno of Illinois has signed
the equal suffrage bill passed by the
last legislature. Illinois thereby be-
comes the first state east of the Miss
iissippi river to extend the ballot to
women.
The Illinois law constitutes only al
partial victory for the woman suffra-
gists of that state. 1t allows them
only to vote for candidates for statu-i
tory offices. including presidential.
electors, mayors, alredmen, municip-
al court judges. sanitary trustees and
most local officers. They cannot,
however, vote for any candidates for
offices created by the constitution of
Illinois, for the reason that the con-

Illinois who believe that the law all
