GOOD WORK.

organized labor to work against the
passage of the Ackley water power bill
and the administration board Of edu-
cation bill, then good for the state fed
GRAFTON of labor To guard the present
water power law against assaults by the
water power interest is plainly matter
of patriotic duty. And it is very meet
and right for working men to exercise
a Jealous care over the public school
system. 1t is to the WOrkingman' s
party and labor organizations of the
early days of the republic that we are
chiefly indebted for the great blessing
of democratic free schools in the nation.
1t was upon the demand Of working
men friends of general and equal
education, = that democratic free
schools came into being, and that
"charity" or "pauper" schools were
done away with The early stand
stillers who opposed public education
on the ground of efficiency were some
what more outspoken than those of the
present time. One editor in the great
old state of Pennsylvania, where acad-
emic freedom is now on trial, opposed
progressive legislation along the line of
public education upon the ground that

it from becoming political job
This is some of the history which was
uppermost in President Wilson's well

movements which benefit mankind
never come from above, = that they
always come from below.

Nineteen Elusive Bass Trapped by One
Little Eel.
Smith. La Joe Martin has Just
brought in the finest mess of bass of
the season and with it strange tale.
He had thirty-six big mouth black
bass that he caught at two hauls with
a string line.
He was using small minnows for
bait and had no luck. After fishing
about an hour he caught little eel.
He proceeded to string it, declaring he
was going to have something to show
anyhow.
He dropped the long stringing line
over the side of his boat, fshed for
nearly an hour and caught five inch
trout.
He started to pull up his line to
string the trout and felt fierce tug,
and after hard struggle he pulled in
nineteen big black mouthed bass, run
ming from a pound to two and half
pounds.
The bass had tried to swallow the
eel, and it had slid through their gills
and strung them. Joe put the bass on
another line and dropped the eel over
board again. In forty-one minutes he
pulled up seventeen more bass.

The act extending the powers and
duties OF the Iowa county court is a
wise piece of progressive legislation.
A like measure in regard to Lafayette

reason why pressing. important matters

At a hearing given to friends and
opponents of the Stemper bill amending
the Baker law in regard to granting
saloon licenses, Governor Philip de-
clared that he would refuse to sign the
bill unless it was amended so as to ap-

wants one law for the State of Wiscon-

ernor is certainly more progressive
than the legislature.

never said the thing attributed to him,

II the writing of poetry were profit
able as q vocation, rather than as an
ayocation, It is not probable that AL
fred Noyes would have accepted ap-
pointment as special lecturer on nine
teenth century English literature at
Princeton. Mr.. Noyes has been sup
plementing his metrical income, the
measure Of which was too short for
his taste, by an income from lec-
turing on arbitration and on literature,
and by reading from his own verse,
says Philadelphia Ledger. When the
opportunity came to secure a perma-
nent university lectureship he did not
let 1t slip. Which shows that poets
can on occasion be prudent as well as
poetical. Poetry, alas, is not means
of livelihood. These materialistic days
cannot be blamed for it, because
Shakespeare, whom everybody except
the Baconians will admit to be a poet,
was also an actor and manager of a

week from the proceeds of Paradise
Lost" and Longfellow had rich wife
and was professor in Harvard and
could afford to indulge in the luxury

The rule in poetry seems to be that
the man who keeps his eye on the dol
lar sign misses the gate that leads to
everlasting life.
