AN ADMIRABLE veto is that by Gov.
Phillip of the bill which sought to ex-
tend the nonsensical limitations upon
public discussions of the so-called cor
rupt practices act. The corrupt prac-
tice act should never have been enact
ed. 1t has served no good purpose and
it can serve no good purpose. 1t is re-
strictive of liberty of discussion, bur-
den upon the right which the constltu-
ton guarantees our citizens. To be
sure. this measure was intended to put
a stop to the corrupt use of money IN
politics, but in the statutes alreaoy
existed abundant laws to reach every
form of political corruption-brlbery IN
anv form, or intimidation. The bill
which the governor now vetoes would
require every species of organization,
whether political or not, to report any
expenditures made in connection with
candidates for office or public questions
coming before the electorate. 1t would
affect churches which might, for in
stance, take a hand in prohibition or
reform campaigns of any nature, labor
unions, the society of equity. It's far
reaching consequences are almost with
out end. Of course, the governor
should stop such extreme and ridiculous
legislation. A law of that sort is an
unconstitutional limitation of the indi-
vidual right of discussion, of utterance,
of publication. For you can't speak in
public very well without hiring hall
and that means public expenditure of
money. Nor can you publish articles
or mail articles without spending
money. The bill was gross invasion
of fundamental rights guaranteed by
the fundamental law The old law is
bad enough; the bill vetoed is intoler-
able. Governor Philip exhibits char
acteristic courage in negativing such a
proposition. Madison Democrat.

Horse Racing at Dane Fair.

Horse racing has become so popular

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. II, 1915.
Taken as a whole, favorable weather
has prevailed in the Connecticut valley
the past week. Two heavy showers, it
is true, did not improve conditions.
Nevertheless. there has been normal
amount of bright sun in the last seven
days. The seasonable weather, how
ever, has come too late to more than
partially restore the crop and at the
best yield, on the basis of acreage
planted, will not be more than from IS
to Is per cent of normal. If anything
were needed to confirm the approach
ing shortage of certain grades of New
England tobacco it is the efforts of
manufacturers to increase their stocks
of binder tobacco. The wild, fine
tooth-comb hunt for binder goods is
pretty convincing evidence that cigar
manufacturers are preparing for the
inevitable after having satisfied them
selves through private sources concern
ing the real situation in New England.
Buying is in progress, but is devoid
of the sensational features of some
other seasons. It is still too early to
get an accurate line on prices but such
information as comes to light from one
source or another seemingly points to
fair prices only. Hundreds of growers
whose crops will not run heavier than
1000 to 1000 pounds per acre, against
a normal yield of from 1900 to 1900 or
1000 pounds, are doomed to bitter dis
appointment when it comes to market
ing their crops, which, it is a foregone
conclusion, will not be taken off their
hands at anything like the prices they
are now talking.

have not been as heavy as might be
expected considering the frequent hail
storms.
This has been a season of storm, as
we'll as Of halltalls, but with several
exceptions the rains were only what
might be called good rains" They
have Kept the ground wet all season,
but the limit of their benefactions has
now been reached, and the growers in
some sections are beginning to COM
plain of too much moisture. Too much
rain is about as bad as drought, as a
line of evils follows in it's train.
The past week has witnessed really
wonderful development of the crop, the
growth having been such as to occasion
surprise. Backward plants take on
more growth when conditions become
favorable than plants nearer maturity,
and in any number of fields where the
crop was said to be irregular week
ago the same term can hardly apply.
September will be pretty we'll ad-
vanced before the entire crop will be
ready for harvesting, and from the
present time until the season ends the
packers will be kept in stew by the
cutters of unripe tobacco.
The leaf dealers are naturally pleas
ed with the improved and improving
conditions of the cigar trade, but they
feel as though something is lacking,
for they have not the trade they should
have, considering what the manufac-
turers are doing. While they are not
heavily stocked up on old goods, they
have enough for trade, and in few
more weeks they will begin sampling
their 1914 packing.

Public Library Notes.

At meeting of the library board,
held Aug. 18th, it was decided to open
the library every afternoon and even
ing during the school year. Also to
open the library as reading room Sun
day afternoons from to 5 o'clock.
The following report Of the years
work was submitted by the librarian
and accepted by the board:
EDGERToN, WIS, July 2, 1915.
To the Honorable Board of Directors
of the Edgerton Public Library:
Ladies and Gentle men:-lt gives me
pleasure to submit the annual report of
the Edgerton Public Library.
Our records for the year show an in
crease in the usefulness of every de-
partment of the library.
For the first time in it's history the
library was kept open four days week
instead of three, throughout the whole
school year. An assistant for seven
months of this time made it possible to
do much work in the reference depart
ment. Forty-three town and country
teachers used the library for help IN
their school work. Material was con-
stantly gathered for IA different town
and country clubs and other organlza-
lions.
A story hour was held every Satur-
day afternoon from November to April
with the exception of the Christmas
vacation.
instruction in the arrangement of the
books in the library and the use of the
catalog and readers guide was given
81 h 40
191 new patrons were reglstered-ll2
adults and 79 children.
GIG books were added to our shelves;
243 were purchased from our regular
book fund, 81 were bound magazines,
and 345 children's books came to the
school through the state appropriation
for children's books and were turned
over to the library for classification,
care and circulation. These books were
chosen to supplement the library list,
so that we have very fine collection
of children's books.
Of the books purchased from the reg
uar book fund, 124 were adult books
and 119 were children's.
II books were rebound during the
wear. 80 were mended and 101 were
withdrawn from circulation.
The total circulation for home use
was Is, 1862 books, the largest circula-
ton we have ever had, and gain of
1895 books over last year. STA books
were drawn out by children and 10,O08
by adults; 81 per cent of the adult
books road last year were non-fiction.
S136.88 was collected in rents and
fines. SOP of this was for the rent of
Culton Memorial hall, $3.50 for the
rent of books and $75. 90 for fines.
Since the last annual meeting the
library building has been thoroughly
repaired. The roof has been mended,
cutters and rain pipes replaced, out
side sashes and screens painted, cell
ings and walls redecorated, floors oiled
and vanishing done where needed:
A room is now being fitted up for
separate children's room. This will be
an added incentive for the children to
use the library, and will also give room
for the much needed expansion of the
adult book shelves.
With all traces of the eight years
wear removed, our library is today one
of the best arranged and most artistic
small libraries in the state.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. GEO. FARMAN, Librarian.

UNCLE IKE STEPHENsoN's excursion
into the newspaper field is said to have
been rather costly experience. Having
lust cut loose from the Milwaukee
Free Press he finds there is $463, 900 of
paper outstanding, principally endorsed
by Senator Stephenson. This repre-
sented losses in addition to the 5000, 600
original capital which with about $780,
600 of current liabilities for operation,
brings the total up to about $500, 900,
or about $50, 900 year for the four
teen years he was the good angel for
the paper. Then to think what La
Toilette and his seat in the senate cost
him besides!

The longest session of the legisla-
ture ever convened closed Tuesday on
it's 224th day, exceeding that of year
ago by IL days. One peculiar result of
the long session was the fact that mes
sengers, who drew So. so per day, each
received $50 more salary than a mem
Der of the legislature. Their total in
comes for the session will have been
$3.50, while the members get only $500
for the session. Members of the cler-
ical force will have been paid $1120 for
the session, each. In the assembly 866
bills were introduced, and in the senate
GIL, in the session now ending.

AFTER driving a rural mail rout

AFTER driving rural mail route for
a few weeks as substitute carrier,
Editor Roethe of the Fennimore Times
concludes: ''The best road, to our no
ton, easiest on the traveller, the team
or the auto, and the road itself, if kept
up properly, is the dirt road. All it
needs is a little preliminary grading
and then to be dragged at the proper
time. Road dragging obght to be made
compulsory, and systemized so that it
is somebody's duty and work to get out
after a rain and drag them. Do that
and the road problem is solved, with
little expense. There is no use in
spending thousands and thousands of
dollars in matchmaking costly roads,
that wear out in year or two. Save
the money. And we would like to see
every dollar collected from automobile
licenses used in dragging roads,"

THE first consignment of Brazilian
beef ever received at a port in this
country arrived at New York less than
two weeks ago on board the steamship
Rio de Janerio. 1t consisted of one
hundred tons of frozen beef. Other
shipments are to follow. A great deal
of Brazilian beef went to England be-
fore the war, and it may be that dread
of German submarines causes the traf-
fic to be diverted.

Some of the boys are still trying to
settle the question of why chicken
crosses the road. To put an end to the
discussion, the Leader will give the
correct answer. A chicken crosses the
road to keep from passing young

head and cigarette in his mouth, who
has the habit of standing by the way
side and passing flip remarks about
chickens as they pass by. Watertown
