ARGUE EKERN CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
HIGH TRIBUNAL HEARS add
TIoNAL STATEMENTS BEARING
ON WELL KNOWN ACTION.
SINGLE QUESTION INVOLVED
Supreme Justice WinsIow Announces
This Is Understanding of Court
Decision in Case Expected to Be
Handed Down at June Sitting.

Madison Supreme court took
up the appeal of H. L. Ekern from an
order of the Circuit of Dane county
refusing his petition for permanent
injunction to restrain Gov. McGovern,
State Superintendent of Public Prop
erty w. l.. Essman and l.. A. Ander.
son from forcibly ejecting him from
the insurance department as result
of the order of the governor, dismiss
ing him from Office, charged with try
| ing to organize the legislature against
the governor. The governor claimed
! that Mr.. Ekern, in acting as campaign
!, manager for L. l.. Johnson as candl-
date for speaker of the assembly VIC.
lated the laws under which he was
appointed.
Justice Winslow said the court un.
| derstood that there was only one Ques-
ton involved in this case. This IS
understood that the chief justice re.
| ferred to the question of whether Mr..
Ekern was entitled to reasonable no
tice, hearing and opportunity to be
heard, or in other words, due process
of law.
| Mr.. Ekern's attorneys claimed IN
brief that there was no reasonable
view to sustain the charges against
Mr. Ekern. The attorneys represent
ing the governor, contended Mr.. Ekern
was given reasonable notice and op-
portunity to be heard and that the
reason he did not have more time in
which to introduce evidence in his be
half was that he and his attorneys
consumed most of their time at the
| hearing in objecting to the proceed
| ings and introduction of testimony in
support of the charges. They also con
/ tended it was clearly in the powers OF
the legislature to authorize the sum
mary removal of the commissioner OF
/ insurance if he saw fit.
The arguments were finished when
the court adjourned and it is expected
a decision will be given at the June
| sitting

having less tendency to OverfatnesS
they should be credited with a slight
advantage.
The Rhode Island Red breed con-
stitutes the latest addition to the list
OF popular American breeds of chick
ems. This variety differs from the
majority of breeds in claiming for
themselves an origin based solely on
practical considerations.
They are partly of Asiatic blood
but in their selection, which extends
over period of fifty years, attention
has been paid to rapid growth and
egg production, so that the breed to-
day more nearly resembles the Leg
horns than does either the Plymouth
Rock or Wyandotte. ]
One fundamental difference still ex-
lists that shows the Asiatic origin OF
the red chicken, they being persistent
sitters.
The Rhode Island Reds do not.
reproduce themselves with certainty
as to shade of color or style Of comb,
but in practical points they may be
considered distinct and well-estab-
Iished breed.
In the eastern part Of the United
States are many farms keeping from
one to several thousand hens and
devoted exclusively to the production
of poultry and eggs for the market.
The use OF any breed on such farms
should be good witness of its utility
The tabulation of the breeds used on
such plants as are shown to the
writer gives the following results:
White Wyandottes occupy first
place, being used on about twice as
many plants as any other one breed.
Single-comb White Leghorns, Barred
Plymouth Rocks and White Plymouth
Rocks follow next in order. Rhode
Island Reds, Light Brahmas, Buff
Wyandottes, Buff Plymouth Rocks,
Brown Leghorns and Black Minorcas
are the other breeds in use. Leg
horns, Minorcas and Rhode Island
Reds are used on the egg farms,
Light Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks
on the rooster and capon plants,
while the broiler and combination
plants use Plymouth Rocks. Wyan.

GARRISON WITHOUT MILITARY EXPERIENCE

Secretary Garrison OF the war de
partment has had no experience In
military affairs, but that is no rea'
son why he may not turn out to be
one of the best secretaries We have
had said a man who was at one
time closely associated with the war
department
When / was a young man i
thought the secretary of war should
know all about military organization,
and all about the munitions Of war,
but, OF course, know now that
executive capacity is what Is chiefly
needed If the secretary is man OF
insight he soon selects the right sort
of advisers.
Secretary Garrison has been in
ONCE nearly two months and he
probably knows now enough about
details to render him efficient. This
late Dan Lamont made an admirable
secretary of war and his training had
been in the newspaper Office. He
was managing editor OF the Albany
