PAPER TELLS Of
L|NCOLN'S DEATH

Postmaster H. E. Paddock of Laval
lie has sent copy of the Baraboc Repu-
blic of Apr. 19, 1865, to the Sauk county
Historical society. The black column
rules tell at glance that the assassina-
ton of Abraham Lincoln was the inpor-
tant news item of that week, although
less than half column is devoted to the
presidents death.
Ths paper contains letter frgIn D.
K. Noyes, written at Rolla, Missouri,
which speaks of the soldiers suffering
from the cold, the death of young Highly
of Delton, and other war news. Rolla
is village built of logs and he speaks
in terms anything but complimentary
concerning the inhabitants.
The paper from Mr.. Paddock is on

Committee at Madison No
Disposed To a
Repeal.
ANTI-vCE BILLS
HAVE SLIM CHANCE
Only Four out of Nineteen
are Recommended for
Passage.

The eugenics law stands a good
chance of remaining on the statute
books. This is probable, following the
committees favorable report 1T Madi-
son on amendment to the law striking
out the provision for a technical clinical
examination and requiring only a thor
ough physical or miscropical examina-
tion, as requisite to obtaining a mar
riage license. The committee disapprov-
ed of the amendment tossmake the sta
tate apply to women as we'll as men
and recommended that clause for indef-
mate postponment.
The last batch of these bills was re-
ported to the senate yesterday. The
bill providing penalties for employment
agencies which steer female help to
places of immoral character, or other
wise aid lin enco uraging prostitution,
was reported for passage. Indefnate
postponement was asrecommended for the
following bills:
Providing for state police Depart
ment to enforce laws and ordinances;
authorizing the removal of officers for
malfeasance or non feasance in office;pro
viding that dining rooms in hotels or re-
taurantssshall present an unobstructed
view to the public; requiring the re-
moval of side entrances, stalls, family en-
frances and wine rooms in places where
liquors. sold; and providing penal
ties for using false or fictitious names
on hotel registers. These will appear on
the senate calendar early next week.
Few of the anti-vice bills framed by
the special investigating body of the
last legislature have much chance Of
enactment at this session if the senate
committees recommendations are a
proper criterion. Only four of the
nineteen measures designed to make
com mercialized vice harder were rec
commended for passage; three were
referred to the judiciary committee and
the rest recommended for indefinite
postponement.

on be Bridge
~Again

see by the News that the Ringlings
are spending their money freely for
public and private benefits. That is all
very well, and l am glad to know of it.
But Oh, if one or more Of them
could be induced or would voluntarily
take notion to send their names
laundering down the age by building
that most useful and most needed work
of public character-The Merrimack
Bridge. 1t is something that has been
80 long needed by the whole section of
this country. The want of which has
80 greatly retained the development of
South Central Wisconsin and especially
Sauk and Columbia counties. It would
be work unequaled in Importance by
any others he or they could do It would
be an undying monument to the name
and family such as none others could be
named; d;and so near the State Park too,
where it would be traversed by 30 many
thousands Of automobiles every year.
The Ringing Bridge would soon be az
we'll known as Lake Swenson, two things
that would be positive attraction and
aid greatly in building up Baraboo and
all the towns between Baraboo
and Madison, not to say the whole
of Southern Wisconsin.
1t is thing | have longed to see for
many years and would gladly do any
thing if the means were at hand.

PETER RlCHARDS
~~~~-~~~-~<>~~-~~~~-
ing alone in a community must have at
least one stockholder who is a good or
chardist or else hire competent man
and competent men are not easily
found.
This problem of management
has been solved at Gays Mills
by the Kickapoo Development Comp
any, a stock company but owning no
orchards or farms, only teams and I'M
plements and employing men. This
company now has long term contracts
with all of these twelve orchard COM
panies for the care and cultivation Of
the orchards. The Development COM
pany employs a skilled superintendent
at a salary of $500 and other good or
chard men. In this way every compa-
ny gets the one big essential, expert
management, at minimum of cost and
the operating company should also
make profit.
The tremendous orchard develop
ment in Door county has extended over
a longer period and is about equally
divided between individual ownership
and company control. For time there
existed firm at Sturgeon Bay which
operated in way similar to the Kick
apoo Development Company but it has
since been dissolved and the larger com
panies each hire manager.
At Bayfield, county practically all of
the fruit growing is by individuals
mostly in small lots.
By way of summary and conclusion
it may be said that extensive orchards
are being operated both in the Kicka-
poo and in Door county on the company
plan; that this plan promises to become
more and more popular; that such COM
pany operated orchards have been
the means of establishing fruit growing
on a systematic and business-like basis.
I am not ready to believe, however, as
some do that this is to be the only plan
in the future. look upon it rather as
means to an end. | would like to see
one orchard of 100 to 200 acres planted
near Baraboo by an orchard company
having one or more good fruit men in
terested and the balance of my wished
for development done by individuals.
Sauk county people are too apathetic
and satisfied with present conditions, too
we'll content to point with pride to we'll
deserved honors without doing more.
There is no better apple land in the
state or the country than in your couns
ty. You have plenty of good fruit men
and no lack of capital and there is good
money in the business as few Bara-
boo men can testify.
Who will have the courage to start?
I do not overlook the fact that a few
men such as the Palmers, Bassett, Baer,
and others are already raising apples
on a market basis and making money
doing it but it is not enough. Their to
tai output is insignificant compared to
BAYFIELD, or Door County neither of
which possesses your natural advan-
tages for apple raising. Who will do it,
Sank county people or outsiders?

REAL GREATNESS IS
TAUGHT BY CHRIST

Christ has given us measure of
greatness which eliminates conflicts.
When his diciples disputed among
themselves as to which should be
greatest in the kingdom of heaven,
he rebuked them and said: Let him
who would be chiefest among you
to be the servant of ALL" Service
is the measure of greatness; it al
ways has been true, it is, true to-
day, and it always will be true,
that he is greatest who does the
most of good. And yet, what a revo-
lution it will work in this old world
when this standard becomes the
standard of every life. Nearly all of
our controversies and combats a.
rise from the fact that we are try
ing to get something from each
other. Our enmities and animosi-
ties arise from our efforts to get
as much as possible out of the
