.EhJOINS THE BUTTER TRUST

Chicago. May Federal Judge
Lands today permanently enjoined
the Elgin board of trade. commonly
known as the butter board, from
meeting to fix prices and otherwise
governing conditions under which
butter is sold.
The injunction was the result OF q
petition filed by the United States
government several months ago, COM
planning that the butter board was
operated to prevent competition and
was in violation OF the Sherman anti
trust law.
Judge Landis said the action, in
which the members of the board of
trade directorate acquisced, marked
the end OF the "coloration of butter
prices"
The case was dismissed against the
American Association of Creamery

A DIsGRACEFUL RECORD.

In recent address the Dean of the
Law School of the University Of Michi-

the United States, there were 9,l52
men slain in violation of law By their
lawless fe..-ws. This number is great

An increase Of pa per cent in eleven
years is little cause for pride. We
have before this become indignant at

parts of the world. Do they equal our
own shambles? Count the number of
Union soldiers aelually killed in action

School BOYS Badly Used.

Early in the last century many boys
at Elton, England, had to undergo a
rough training. An old Etonlan who
left the school in 1884 describes his
experiences there as worse than that
of many inmates of a workhouse or
gaol. To get up at FIVE on freezing
winter mornings; to sweep their owD
floors and make their own beds; 20
go two,by-two to the pump for a
scanty wash; to eat no mouthful OF
food until 9 a. m; to live on an end
less round of mutton, potatoes and
beer, none of them too plentiful or too
good; to sleep in dismal cell with
out chair or table. Such was the lot
OF boys whose parents could not afford
to pay for a private room Some Of
these underwent privations that might
have broken down a cabin boy. and
would be thought inhuman If inflicted
on galley slave"

Paid for His Interruption.

Rodger, the great French tenor. was
a sensitive soul, and was prone to take
offense at any slight, whether inten,
tional or not.
On one occasion he was engaged to
sing at the house of a wealthy finan-
eier. Rodger sang his first song mag
niflcently; but no one paid the slight
est attention to him, and the guests
continued to talk their loudest.
Presently the host thought the time
had come for another song, and sent
for Rodger He could not be found.
Next day there came a note from him,
accompanied by 1900 francs. The
note ran something like this:
Il have the honor to return the
twelve hundred francs which I re.
ceived for singing at your function.
and I beg leave to add three hundred
francs thereto for having so disturbed
the conversation Of your guests"

Evening Wisconsin Considerable
comment has been aroused by the re-
mark of Frank X. Bodden in recent
address that large number of men
elected to the Legislature are deficient
in information, and that this evil could
be cured by the expedient Of requiring
candidates for legislative honors to
pass an examination before permitting
them to tinker with state laws. The
idea behind the suggestion is identical
with that which is contended for by
advocates of a literacy test in the
national immigration law. 1t is an
idea at war with the principle of uni
versal suffrage The probability is
that Mr.. Bodden was not serious in his
suggestion, but that he threw it out
for the purpose of emphasizing the
main point of his contention that
many ignorant men are elected to the
Legislature, in which contention he is
right beyond the possibility of denial.
It's true, tbs pity, and pity It's tbs
true. But the remedy of civil service
examination for candidates for legisla-
tive honors might be worse than the
disease. There have been innumerable
instances in which pernicious legisla-
ton has been advocated by men who
could pass with flying coiors any ex-
animation that might be proposed,
Some Of the most doubtful measures
that have been enacted by the Legisla-
ture of Wisconsin in recent years have
been eoncocted or supported by gradu-
ates Of the University of Wisconsin.
The legislative bin factory of this
state has been guilty Of stupendous
blunders, notwithstanding the scholarly
requirements of the individuals com
posing its working force. On the other
hand, there have been many instances
Of members Of the Legislature not
learned in the wisdom of the schools,
but strong in common sense. The
remedy for inelIicieney in the Legisla-
ture is alertness on the part of the
electorate.

The publication OF official figures to

THE oFFIcE-HoLDING ARMY"

Civil service rules are admirable in theory,
but they seem to give the members of an
ofiee-holding caste too much power, which
they inevitably use TO improve their own con
ditions and to impress their wishes upon The
mosses Of the people"
Mr.. Editor - Above paragraph of
your editorial in issue Of April 81, ap-
pears to have been written under a
misapprehension of facts. AS matter
of fact, employees of the state under
civil service rules are absolutely a
minus quantity in politics. In the
present political unrest, when public
questions are being vigorously dis
cussed in every community the civil
service employee is mute. Whatever
his views he cannot express them, ex-
cept at risk of dismissal. Instead of
giving civil service employees 4'too
much power" the civil service law
serves to practically disfranchise them
in the shaping of polital action.
The state employees under civil ser
vice rules and those holding positions
exempt from civil service rules, are
often COMPOUNDED and enormously
classed together. Of this exempt class
only will you find state officials active
in politics. These include the heads Of
the many commissions and boards, with
a few others exempted by law from
lists of regular civil service employees.
They are mostly appointed for politi-
cal reasons, and likely to be promptly
retired on change of administration.

ImaaInatIon.

An obsolete form of power, at one
time used in making countries, religion
and literature, but now superseded by
the higher psychology. In former
times imagination was employed by
children in playing games, and in the
making OF mud pies out of mud and
real soldiers out Of wood. 1t is the
father of many dead heroes, among
whom may be mentioned Theseus,
Jack the Giant Killer, King Arthur,
Caliban, Robinson Crusoe and Santa
Claus. 1t is still discovered In the
extremely young. At one time, when
man was crude, imagination was
thought to be seryiceable. The notion,
however, along with mythology and
other follies, has long since been ex-
ploded, the greatest efficiency having
been demonstrated to lie along the
lines of least resistance, which in
