Wisconsin has long been a suf-
ferer from freak Legislation and its
ill effects. And now comes the fool
anti-tipping law, one of the most
nonsensical laws ever placed up
on the statutes of the state and de-
priving the people of more Of their
rights and privileges. Instead of
signing the fool law, Governor
Phillip should have vetoed it. The
majority OF the people who offer
tips can we'll afford them, and those
who cannot afford them-well, they
are damphools" and would burn
up their money in other ways if
they didn't spread it in tips.

well, now. supposing you were
working for a farmer instead of the
company, would you expect your en-
ployer to take out his horses every
Saturday night and carry you homer
NO said the employee, politely;
IT should not expect that. But if the
farmer had his horses out and was
going my way, 1 should call him a
very mean fellow if he would not let
me ride!"

As to Sleep.

We read of the creation that the
world was made in six days and that
the Creator rested on the seventh.
Edison said that sleep, otherwise rest,
is loss of useful hours. alternating
animals in our latitude curl up for the
entire winter and neither eat nor walk
nor crawl. The earth doesn't stop in
it's revolution, either on its axis at
the rate of more than 1000 miles an
hour, or in its orbital revolution Of
about Is miles a second. Possibly It
is this which suggested to Mr.. Edison
that the time will come when we shall
nave no need of sleep.

Our Speech.

Our very vocabulary is degraded;
the most far-reaching symbols of our
language come seldom into use, or ap-
pear with diminished meaning. Fol
low, for instance, the course of the
word infinite through the antics of
contemporary literature. Our phrase
ology has become carnal; our vital
terms are terms of physical life No
where is the limitation of contem-
porary thought more apparent than
in these instruments of speech. One
must read again Wordsworth, Shell
ley, Carlyle, Ruskin, Arnold, Mere
dith, to meet great words now little
employed, words that make you real
ize the utmost reach Of life; in so do
ing, one pauses in dismay, realizing
how full contemporary speech is of
lesser terms, how few employ the
greater words that tell the inner life
Of the soul-From the Atlantic.

A clique of professional politi-
clans who yell tory" when speak
ing of those who are endeavoring
to lift the burden from the tax
ridden people, are endeavoring to
block if possible the efforts of Gov.
Philip to reduce taxation to the
actual needs of the state. 1t is the
same old crowd which has been
yelling reform to mislead and de-
ceive the people for the past ff-
teen years, while state expend-
itures have increased 400 per
cent. and tax eaters on the state
pay rolls increased from about L,
900 to over 5000, a half or more
being of no value to the state as
far as service is involved.

A Burdened People.

According to a count made in
the library of congress recently our
federal and state legislatures pass
ed 81 ,oI4 statute laws during the five
years from 1909 to 1913 inclusive.
Even greater than this multici-
city of laws was the vast mass OF
decisions of court of last resort,
federal and state, which during the
same FIVE years reached the enor-
nous total of $3.50 and now fill

Forget it ladies. Roosevelt is
warrior and is like the Irishman
who is never at peace except when
in a skirmage. Theodore wouldn't
have peace if he could, for he loves
to be in the thick of the battle as
he was at San Juan, Cuba, in the
far rear out of danger.

is unnecessary to state. to which
party they belonged, for that is
easily guessed.
Proof that Uncle Sam is success
fully maintaining neutrality is af-
forded by the fact that all of the
warning nations are now at him.
Some of the remarks of Ex-Sen-
ator Root leads to the conclusion
that good business might help good
politics and good politics help good
business.
Citizens who refrain from voting
at elections should be made to pay
heavy fines for their negligence,
unless they have good excuse for
not casting their ballot To great
extent they are responsible for po-
iitical graft and high taxes.
An anticipating bill has been
passed by the Legislature and sign
ed by the governor, and after pub
LEGATION, it will subject one to a
fine who may give a gratuity to
any waiter, porter or bell-hop who
may do them a favor; and the pro-
prietor of any restaurant, hotel or
barber shop is subject to a fine for
permitting tipping in their places
of business. 1t is a piece of ASSN
inc legislation and interferes with
the rights of an individual to do as
he pleased with his money.
1t is estimated that $40, 900, 900
has been invested in automobiles
in this state and it may be reason
ably presumed, that at least one
half of those who bought autos,
bought them on time and are pay
ing interest on mortgages and notes
given in payment for same. AS an
auto becomes practically worthless
after five years and after being
used a short time cannot be sold
for more than half of the original
cost, some idea may be gained of
the loss-to say nothing about the
expense Of running an automobile
and the repair necessary from time
to time. But then, there is lots of
pleasure in owning and operating
machine and Joy ride" if one
can afford it.

The Din About Germs.

With an accent of impotence not
by any means inexcusable, the
Philadelphia Inquirer asks: Have
We Gone Mad Over Germs?" The
health commissioner of that city,
Doctor Ziegler, has just issued an
official monthly bulletin which the
Inquirer summarizes as devoted,
not to health but to disease, Its
burden being that there are germs
here. and that the germs will git"
people who don't watch out. The
Inquirer is restless, for the reason
that this sort of thing has been
published at the expense of the tax
payers, month after month tor sew
eral years, and bids fair to contin-.
ue at the expense of the taxpay-
ers, not only depicting their purses,
but tending to make some OF them
blue. If they read the literature
and brood upon the warning. The
Inquirer protests:
In the olden days of our grand
fathers such terrible enemies as
germs were unknown. For that
matter, neither were many OF the
diseases of present-day medical de-
velopment. Something new IS
bobbing up all the time bent on our
destruction. The germ happens
to be the latest. SO nowadays we
are told that we must bend every
effort to fight the germ. 1t is to be
found on all sides. 1t turks IN
milk, in water, in the food we eat,
in the air we breathe. If we were
to believe everything that has been
said about germs we would be
afraid to go to bed, afraid to go to
sleep and most assuredly we should
starye to death, because we would
Mt dare to eat or drink. Germs are
becoming quite fashionable with
our medical men. They don't know
lust what a germ is, because if a
germ appears it must be the effect
of some preceding cause. Now 1t
they could only find. the cause. and
suppress that, what splendldly
germless world this would be, to
be Surei
There are good germs as. well as
bad ones, and the doctors do not
know the difference, and if all the
germs should be killed, we are
all goners" and to add to our per-
plexity, the state university main
tains board of health experts at
large. expense to scare the people
by telling them what awful things
the germs are. That they must
not eat, drink or breathe, or they
may get chuck full of death pro-
ducing germs. And to arouse more
fear and add to the expense of the
taxpayer, most of the cities in the
state now employ visiting nurses
in the schools to see that the chill
dren are not suffering from dis
ease, just as if the parents are in
capable of caring for their offspring
and calling a physician if there
were any evidence of illness. A
number Of cases have been report
ed in the state where visiting nur-
ses have called at public schools
and run their fingers In a child's
mouth and spreading the lips to
ascertain what condition the teeth
are, passing from one to another
and continuing the, operation. And
this is all done in the name of sani-
tation.

ENGINEER PRATHER OF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC HURT

Caexico Chronicle: Al Prather, en-
gineer on the Southern Pacific. is the
man who hauls the night train out
of CaleXico, has ridden up and down
the Valley for several years and has
been at the throttle of a Southern
Pacific engine since the Colorado
broke loose. and never was mixed up
in an accident. Thursday evening,
about $50, Prather was walking east
on Second street and stubbed his toe
at the corner of Paulin, with the
result that his nose came in contact
with the sidewalk, and when eXamina-
tion was made later by DR.. H. G..
Richter it was found that bone in
the nose had been broken and other
painful cuts made on the face.
Prather was taken to DR.. Richter'S
office and his injuries dressed, taking
the 8 o'clock train for his home in
Los Angeles. He, however, did not
ride in the cab, but occupied a Pull
man berth. Prathers hands were in
such position when he fell that it
was impossible to protect his face. He
has many friends in the Valley who
will regret to hear of the accident,
which will lay him up for few days.

court that they had compromised on
the points at issue and that the court
would not be called upon to settle the
controversy.
Mr.. Breedlove was suing for $4,000
and costs on foreclosure proceedings.
When the case was called Attorney
Brown for the plaintiff and d. L. Ault
for Mr.. Goode reported that they
were ready for trial At that juno
ture E. A Williams, an attorney Of
Fresno, told the court that he had but
a limited amount of time and asked
if he might be allowed to argue a
demurrer in another case. Messrs.
Brown and Ault willingly gave way
with the understanding that trial of
their case was to be taken up an hour
later. An hour later they returned
to the court room, but instead of pro-
ceeding to trial informed the court
that the matter had been settled out
