Mr.. Bryan.

On the whole, nobody, or hard
lly anybody, in these United
States dislikes Mr.. Bryan. What
ever his opinions or his vagaries
he has the nature or the art to
please.
We dare say that the Hon. Al
ton B. Parker would vote for Mr.
Bryan as a trustee of a Chautau-
qua association or anything as
good.
Mr.. Bryan has an exceptional
place in the confidence and good
will of the community. Probably
there are millions of people
who deride the Sacred Ratio
epd all paramount or unpara-
mounted issues that the Lincoln
of Lincoln, Neb., has ever gather
ed in his opulent bosom, and yet
they like him.
Not every shift is honest
thrift. BE the spoiled child Of
the Democracy or flower of
statesmanlike wisdom, Mr.. Bryan
holds a post which has been the
Just ambition and reward of some
of the noblest intellects in Amer
lean politics.
With no i'll nature, with the
h,ndliest feeling for this old
f. iend, may we not suggest that
Mr., Wilson wants his presence,
cot his absence; that Mr.. Bryan
would consult his own dignity
,etter by being Secretary of

'enefit of his experience from

'ary on the meagre stipend of

Restored to Entry.
Six million acres of withdrawn
public lands were restored to en-.
ty during the months of May

lands by the Survey, those re-
stored either having been found
not to be valuable for power
sites, reservoirs, coal, phosphate,

Finest Map Ever Made of
Wisconsin Soon to be De-
livered to Schools.
FURNISHED THROUGH STATE

The finest map Of Wisconsin ever is
sued has just been received from the
engravers. 1t shows all the roads in
the state, and in addition, the main
travelled roads between cities are in
dicated by heavy red lines. This map
will be of great use to everyone who
has occasion to drive IN any part Of
the state with which he is not
acquainted.
The different kinds Of rock which
are to be found under the soil in the
various parts of the state are shown
by colors. In one corner Of the map is
a description of each of these geologi-
cal formations, giving its general char
acter, thickness, and the various use.
full things derived from it, such as
valuable ores, building stone, mineral
water, artesian water, brick clays, road
material and other products. In an
other corner is given a list Of the ele-
vations above sea level of many i'm
portant features of the state.
The map shows the streams and
lakes in very careful detail. The
names of all counties, cities, villages,
towns, and Indian reservations are
given, and all are carefully brought up
to date. All the railroad and inter
urban lines are also shown.
Under special authorization of the
last legislature copies of this map are
to be sent free to every school in the
state. The map will also be appreciate
ed by owners of automobiles and by
all persons interested in the building
of good roads. 1t is a large map, 81
inches wide and So inches long from
north to south. The scale is six miles
to one inch, so a township is just one
inch square on the map. The map is
sold by the state at cost of printing.
1t can be obtained only from the
superintendent Of public property at
Madison.

WILL APPLY RECALL
New Bill Proposed at Madi-
son Provides for Recall
Of Officials Appointed
WOULD HIT COMMISSION HEADS

A new application of the recall will
be attempted at this session Of the
Legislature Heretofore such a law has
been proposed as applying to elective
officials. At this session bill will be
| proposed which will apply the recall
/ feature to all important appointive
officials, especially the members of the
railroad, industrial anu tax commits
sions.
AS now drafted the bill will permit
a recall Of these appointive officials,
either by the legislature or by the peo-
pie direct. It is proposed that upon a
| petition of twenty-five per cent of the
number of voters who voted at the
last gubernatorial election the ques-
| tion of the recall of the official desig-
mated must be submitted to a vote Of
all Of the people of the state at a
special election. An official also may
be recalled by the legislature upon a
two thirds vote of both houses voting
separately.
In order that the recall may not be
abused as applying to the appointive
officials it is proposed in the bill
which will come before the legislature
that the recall can beS applied to the
same official only once in every two
years. The scheme was first suggest
ed in a book on the Wisconsin
Idea, written by DR.. Charles Nc
Carthy of the legislative reference IL
brary He argues that the reason for
appointing these members of the big
governmental commissions is their ex-
pert knowledge of the subjects that
will come before them for considera-
ton. Opposition to state government
commissions has sprung up, because
it is claimed that the people have no
control over them, inasmuch as they
are not elective Offices The proposed
recall is aimed to do away with this
objection.
The constitutional amendments pro-
viding for the initiative, referendum,
and recall will come before the legis,
lature for final passage this winter.
These amendments were passed by the
session two years ago, but the consti-
tuition requires that they be passed by
two successive legislatures before they
can be submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie. Opposition is promised in some
sections to these changes.

Movement Started to De-
mand Investigation of
Lighting Plant
WEARY OF Pickering LIGHTS
Kenosha People Tire of Unsatisfactory
Service and Petition May be Sent to
the Railroad Commission Demanding
an Investigation of Conditions Here.

A quiet movement has been started
among business men on Main street
to file formal petition with the Wis
consin Railroad Commission asking
for an investigation of the service
rendered by the Wisconsin Gas ard
Electric Company in supplying cleo
trio light in Kenosha. The matter has
been discussed informally by the bust
ness men and number of them have
taken the matter up with the officials
of the company at Milwaukee. The
officials in the Milwaukee office Of the
company have given assurances Of bet.
ter service, but these assurances seem
to be slow to be carried out.
The especial objection is on the
electric lighting service and the serv.
ice of the central heating plant. Ia
several places where the heating plant
service is used it is found almost i'm
possible to get sufficient heat and there
Is grave suspicion that the reason
is found in the fact that the mains
OF the company have been over-taxed
by the addition of new customers dur
ing the past few years. The kick on
the light furnished is not confined to
the business men on Main street. but
+
complaints have been coming in from
all parts of the city. The lights have
been decidedly below the standard for
some time and the people who have
urged formal complaint believe that
the coming of the commission might
be way to get at the real difficulty
and bring remedy. The company now
has complete monopoly of the light
ing business in the city and an appeal
to the commission is the only course
open for the property owners.
The commission is(pretty well ac-
quainted with conditions in Kenosba
as voluminous reports on the equip
ment Of the plants here was made to
the commission a year ago in the fight
between the rival companies. 1t
should take the commission only q
short time to tell just what is the
trouble in Kenosha and provide a
remedy for it.
In the last few weeks the lighting
service has been decidedly poor. The
lights have gone out in the middle of
the evening and in many places the
stores were left without any form Of
hight Officials of the company have
stated that these troubles were due
to the inhalation of new machinery
at the lighting plant and that Just as
soon as this is installed the service
will be vastly improved. 1t is posi-
bic that the patience of the patrons
OF the company will hold out until that
time, but some of the largest custo-
mers are actively urging the appeal to
the railroad commission at this time.

A Prosperous Year.

In three years the foreign trade OF
the United States has increased by
nearly thousand million dollars, or
thirty per cent. The total for 1912 tops
four billion dollars-far and away
breaking the record. The increase in
that year alone was half a billion dol
lars. AS for that barometer of
trade ''-the iron and steel industry
our production of pig in 1912 reached
thirty million tons-against less than
twenty-four millions the years before
also far and away breaking the rec
ord. 1t was only in 1905 that produc-
ton for the first time reached twenty
million tons.
Figures might be multiplied to show
that the country is closing the most
prosperous year ever known-and head
ING into a new one under full steam;
but in 1912, politically speaking, scarce
ly anything was as anybody wanted it.
progressives were discouraged by the
incubus at Washington and outraged by
the first Chicago convention. Conser-
natives alternated between speeches.
gloom and shouts Of murder. Not a
comma was altered in the tariff act the
country had borne with restless resent
ment for three years. There was not
even an approach toward remedying an
admittedly bad banking system. Peri
odically the government harried some
additional business enterprise because
Of it's size. An exceedingly bitter con-
test for the presidency began in
February and continued, with daily
explosions, to November
The fact, Of course, is that we are
prosperous in spite of our politics
whenever we are prosperous at all.
We should like to see this fact incor-
porated in the next republican and
democratic campaign books. 1t will be
incorporated in the next progressive
campaign book, because the progress
sives, never having been in power, can
not claim credit for the crops and the
kindly fruits of the earth Saturday

January first the parcel post act
comes into operation and packages up
to eleven pounds in weight, which
must now go by express, will be car
ried in the mails under zone system
of rates. Not great while after that
date, presumably, the rule of the in
terstate commerce commission, pre-
scribing a zone system Of rates for ex-
press companies and making import
ant reductions in charges, will come
into effect.
Probably a third or more of present
express business in bulk consists of
packages weighing less than twelve
pounds; but revenue from small pack
ages is far greater, in proportion to
weight, than from large ones. AS to
very important part Of the business,
therefore, express companies will be
in direct competition with the post
office after January first; and when
tic commission s rule as to zones ana
reduced rates becomes effective this
competition will soon show who is to
carry our parcels. Incidentally it may
throw valuable light OF the whole
question of regulated private agencies
versus government operation.
Whether your package goes by mail
or express, the railroads, of course, will
haul it-with the same engine and
crew and almost in the same car. Tor
hauling the postal package they will
be paid fixed rate by the govern
ment, according to weight. For haul
ing the express package they will re-
ceive a proportion approximately
half-of the charge paid by the
shipper
In settling the final question as to
whether parcels are to be carried by
the postoffice or by express com panies,
not little probably will depend upon
which service is more profitable to the
railroads Saturday Evening Post.
