THE HAMBRECHT
SUBSTITUTE

There has been a good deal of
opposition on the side Of sentiment
to AssembIyman Hambrechts bib for
increasing the tuition fee of non
resident students at the university
to the moderate figure equal to re-
imbursing the state for the actual
cost of educating these outsiders.
1t was not proposed to make money
out of them, nor even to put a finan-
cial brake on their increasing mum
Der. It is obvious that there must
be limit somewhere sometime to
the taxation Of our people for the ed
cationai benefit of oLner states.
1t is a process that can not be con-
tinues Indefinitely, and Mr. Ham
brecht's proposal to furnish this edu-
cation at cost seemed to US entirely
just and reasonable.
Mr.. Hambrecht is one of the kind
lest and most reasonable men alive,
and to meet the objection of Nib
crafty he has introduced a substitute
amendment tot his bH4 containing a
modification that puts the favor Of
largely free tuition for foreign stu
dents on the merit principle.
1t is provided that to 20 per cent
Of deserving nonresident students
desert to be ascertained by examin-
atoms scholastic records. etc. tut
ton fees may be RENTED. An incenr
tive is thus added to application
and good behavior.
The provision is ingenious and char
acteristfc Of the fairness and liberal

the bill to fair consideration by its
original opponents. Milwaukee Sen

MONEY At
CARNIVAL

From Fridays Daily.
A small fuss between Mike Boden-
schacht, manager of the Superba
Carnival show and one of his for
mer employees caused some excite
ment on the show lot last evening,
William White claimed that Boden-
schacht owed him So. White OBJ
tanned legal aid and thru the assis-
lance of his attorney settled with
Bodenschacht for 81. Both men talk
ed pretty loud and Bodenschacht
threatened to beat up White after
the show. Acting on the advice of
his attorney White refused to fight,
but did some strong talking. Harry
Wright, manager of the shows fear
ing that White might attempt to cut
the canvas and ropes had him lock
ed up.
White was released from custody
this morning, there being no grounds
ON which to hold him. He quit the
show and will leave for Chicago.

ceiv edasentence of but five days in
jail while at the same time, his part
ner, who was in the boat did not
fail into the river paid fine of 81
and was sentenced to ten days in
the jail. Such is the sad story of
two men, William Gray and John Po-
daWiltz who went up to one Of the
islands yesterday to camp and Incl
dentalIy get drunk. The men were
returning to the city in boat and
when near the Green Bay & West
ern railway bridge, Gray in some
manner fell out of the boat. Poda-
wiz, his companion, managed to
get him back in the boat, and get
to shore all right Now comes the
ob-stuff-instead of being hailed
as a. hero and put up for Carnegie
medal, was hailed into police court
and decorated with fine and jail
sentence. Officer Hewlett pinched
the two for being drunk. In Judge
Calkin's court this morning Gray
was sentenced to five days and Poda-
wHtz paid dollar and was sent UP
for ten days.

Ruin is no respecter of persons.
Your girl is as liable to be met by

ways plainly marked, and it is only
those who travel by the road that
leads to ruin who ever reach it. They
must go out to meet the destructive
thing or they viii not find it. So it
is not impairment 10 ask parents
where their daughters are tonight.
The news reports have lately been
filled with accounts Of the doings
Of a daughter Of hhe rich and a
daughter of the poor. One was moth
erIess and the other was fatherless,
but, if the rightful guardian had
known where each was every night
and seen to it that she was in a safe
place, there would have been peace
and content in two homes where
there is now something very differ
ent. A girl is one OF the most pre-
cious possessions in the Wrold. and
she should be guarded as the King S
