IMPORTANT DECISION

The Wisconsin Supreme court has
decided that the amendment to the
state constitution specifying that af-
ter December /, 1912, only persons
holding full citizenship papers should
have the right to vote or hold any
political office named by statute was
not properly passed by the legisla-
ture and is void.
The decision was made in the
case of Fred Postal vs. Ben Marcus.
Marcus, an elector by virtue of hold
ing first papers under the old law
granting suffrage without full natur-
alization, was elected trustee of the
village of Muscoda in April, 1912.
The court upheld the right of Mar
Gus to continue in the trusteeship.
In the opinion Justice Marshall
said
referring back to the history of
the proceedings in the particular
case, fatal infirmity therein is plain.
| The proposal at first was to strike
out paragraph 2 of section l of ar
ticle III of the constitution. There
after that was discarded and the
body was materially changed. The
new title did not disclose the ma
ture of the proposed law nor was the
substance entered That condition
persisted to the end A like defec-
tive report appears in the senate
journal. At the second session the
proposal was first offered in the as
sembly and read the first and second
times without any record of title of
subject matter being made. After
adoption of an amendment without
any formal record showing how it
changed the original proposition, the
resolution was brought to a vote as a
proposition to amend section | of ar
ticle III of the constitution relating
to electors, and the proposal, in ex,
| tense, was entered; but it does not
check up with any previous journal
entry. In the senate the proposal
| was amended and concurred in, but
how, as finally agreed to, it con
forms to anything which previously
was voted upon, does not appear on
record

THE SIDEWALK TEST

Voliva, the Zionist leader, recent
ly preached on the subject, How
the Faith Of Millions Has Been De-
stroyed by Modern Astronomy, Evo-
luton and Higher Criticism" Volt
vas idea was that the earth is flat
and the sun about three thousand
miles away-though just such a be-
! lief should increase faith is difficult
to comprehend.
Toledo has another tombstone of
faith. The Toledo Blade is taking
as a test a mans Christianity the
appearance of his sidewalk in snowy
weather. The Blade contends that
the clearing of snow from the side
walk, showing good will to men and
making walking safe and a pleasure,
is a Christian act. But it finds that
there is an alienation of cleaned
and neglected walks, showing that
Christianity and paganism are still
pretty evenly balanced in Toledo
Cleaning the sidewalk may seem a
small thing, but the Golden Rule
holds here as in other things A
man has calling in his sidewalk as
we'll as in his character
While neither a mans belief in a
flat earth nor the appearance Of his
sidewalk may wholly reveal his char
| acter or his Christianity, the world
| will be inclined to accept the latter
as the better test of the two 1t
may not be the final test, but it
certainly indicates trend-Ex-
change.

MUCH SEED PASSES INSPECTION

1t is estimated that Wisconsin po-
tato growers now have on hand fully
rs, 600 bushels of seed stock of such
superior quality as to entltle 1t to
be sold under state certificate.
The final inspection of the ware
houses and storage cellars which is
now being made likely will be COM
pleted by January Is.
The inspectors report that notWlth-
standing the damage that was done
by late blight during the fall months,
the stock inspected is now in first
class condition, growers having culled
their supplies very closely.
The stock inspected includes large
ly the Rural New Yorker and Green
Mountain of the late varieties, and
Early Ohio, the Triumph, Early Rose
and Irish Cobbler of the early varie-
ties
That the bulk of this high grade
certified home grown potato seed
stock should be used for community
potato development in Wisconsin
rather than be sold outside of the
state is the opinion of J. G. Milward,
secretary of the Wisconsin Potato
Growers association.
Growers desiring certified seed are
being urged to make their reserva-
tons early for as a rule large num-
bers of calls for potato seed come
in late in the season when the best
stock has been sold.

WISCONSIN THE SiLO STATE

1t is plain that Wisconsin is the
silo state of the Union. Other states
have taken to silos and are building
them rapidly, but with a splendid
lead, Wisconsin is building them
more rapidly than any other state
and will keep the lead at least for a
long time.
The value of silage is not alone in
the food value, but also in the fact
that it tends to keep the stock in
better health, and in condition to
more completely assimilate other
foods.

Wisconsin was the first state to
establish a system of farmers insti-
tutes and from that time to this
has had more and better institutes
than any other state. This, with all
the other helps that prevail, place
the Wisconsin farmer in position to
do his best. There probably is not
state where the farmer has SO
much assistance in advanced agricul-
ture as in Wisconsin,

MARRIES MAN ON
WAY TO S
IONA GIRL BECOMES WIFE OF
MAN WHO WAS ARRESTED
FOR PASSING BAD
CHECKS

Parker, S. D.,-Married to a man
while he WAS in the custody of officers
and about TO be led away TO prison
was an interesting event in the life
of Miss The1ma Kiefer, late of Du-
buque, la. She is only about is years
of age.
The groom was Samuel Bazanka,
aged "a. who Il day or two ago was
arrested at Mobridge on instructions
from tho authorities of Turner county
who brought him back to Turner
county on the charge of having issued
checks on a Parker bank in which 1t
developed he had no funds. The
Kiefer girl was with him at Mobridge
when he WAS arrested and returned
10 Turner county with the prisoner.
Bazanka entered a plea of guilty to
the charge against him and was SEN
fenced by Judge Tripp, of the cir
cult court, to a term of one year in
the Sioux Falls p%enitentlnry. Before
he was started for the prison he OBJ
tanned permission from the OFFICERS
to secure a marriage license and the
marriage of the girl and himself
followed.
She now is homeless and will be
looked after by charitably inclined
residents of Turner county. At the
time he issued the worthless checks
Bazanka represented himself as a
travelling salesman of a leading
