Wisconsin's "Bili Factory"
From the Kansas City Star.

For several years wisconsin has had a
unique and highly useful legislative insti-
tution-the legislative reference depart
ment. Here, under the supervision of its
remarkable chief, DR.. Charles Mccarthy.
mas been gathered an extensive collection
of statutes and references material.
If a legislator desired to introduce a bill
on some subject he would go to DIR. Nc
Carthy, who would put before him all the
Information available, including the stat
utcs OF other states. In the light Of all
his the legislator could then
pared, and the bureau would put 1t in
legal shape.
The legislative reference department was
thus able to make legislation more INTEL
iigent, to improve Its technical form, to
| guard against jokers and to put tho bust
| ness man and the farmer more nearly on
an equality with the lawyer In drafting
laws. Its work has been done SO efficient
ly as to have a marked effect on the quail
lily of legislation. The Wisconsin State
Journal says Of 1T: There is no bureau
which has lone SO much constructive
service for the industrial and commercial
welfare of all the people Of Wisconsin as
| the legislative reference library
! Last November the pendulum swung
back In Wisconsin and e. l.. Philip, a
%Etandpat republican, was elected governor.
He now proposes to sweep away the legis-
that its existence has promoted progress
sive legislation. Possibly the fact that the
department has discovered jokers that
were to have been put over in innocent
appearing bills by special interests helped
to his decision.
A really intelligent standpatter must
find several annoying features in his
creed. One Of them is it's tncurable OPP
| position to the spread of Intelligent meas
1res and methods in the government.

Not the End of Wars.

1t would be idle to expect that the next
70, 100 or 500 years would materially change
The nature of the human race. In fact,
It Is much more reasonable to assume
that when the scientific knowledge which
has been discovered by the white race has
been assimilated by the peoples of Asia
and Africa, who IA not had the advan-
tage of the culture. accompanying that
scientific development, but who will be
able. to use for their " ends the highly
developed modern offensive
there will be an attack made by those
races upon the white civilization. and II
the white race has not by that time de-
Perforated so as to be unable to offer eff
fectual resistance to their attacks, there
will be a series of wars of such tremen-
dous extent that the wars which have
peen fought previously will appear in
significant.
In the past rivers and mountains have
formed barriers, so that it was difficult

terion OF what is coming within the next

Bomb Throwing From Airships.

1t cannot be shown that the throwina
of bombs from airships Is an especially
inhpman method of warfare. There is
no difference between such bomb
throwing and a bombardment from
land. 1t is impossible to arrange any
bombardment so hat non-combatants
will not be struck, or so that some OF
the shots will not strike other places
than those aimed at and often destroy
private property. Private property
damaged in war on land is no different
from private property destroyed ana
captured on the high seas, as, for in
stance, by the superior British fleet. II
is well known that Germany tried re-
peatedly in The Hague peace conference
to put an end to the confiscation of
private property on the high seas, for
the simple reason that Germany's in
terest lay in such an International pact,
owing to the fact that it's navy is very
much smaller than the British. Ger
many would have been willing to Off
set such a concession with an agree
ment not to throw bombs from the air,
but England's interests were opposed.
This act is not stated here in the sense
of ~rebuking England; but it Is only
just that if Germany does not object
to Great Britain using her means of
warfare as best she can, Germany on
the other hand, should not be criticized
for making the best use of her weapons.
