Barges coming up the Seine to
Paris hold from n to 20 thousand
bushels. This grain is sacked
(mostly by handy, put on drays
hauled by one horse always stall

was interesting to watch. Rail
roads and Steam boat companies
have system of furnishing sacks
and they charge more rent than
we do.
The Governments are doing their
grain buying more int diligently
now. U. S. A. grain will be bought
but not overbought, like it was
last year. London grain dealers
call the world crops big and prices
high enough. Their opinion of flu
ture prices is always based on the
opening OF the DArdanelles. To
operate big grain business in Lon
don or Liverpool you must always
be raised in it, as nothing is stan
dardized. They quote per quarter
of 48o pounds more frequently than
any, but all nations quote them
differently, and all over England
different weights and measure

THE Judges of the Circuit Courts
of Wisconsin conferred with the
legislative committee on judicial
improvement the past week in Madi-
son. Judge G. A. Fouler of Fond du
Lac called the annual meeting to
order Judge A. H. Reid of this city
addressed the meeting on the subject
of whether power to prescribe rules
regulating practice and procedure in
circuit courts should be conferred on
the board of Circuit judges. The
committee of practice and procedure
held meeting all morning, and its
reports constituted the principal sub
ject for discussion the rest of the day.
Another important topic is the adj
visibility of amendment of the law to
permit appeals in state commission
cases 10 be heard in the circuit in
which they originated. At present
all such appeals are taken to the Dane
county circuit court. The legislative
committee was urged to recommend
that laws be passed providing for
free legal assistance for INDECENT per-
sons, for the taking of criminal dep
os;tions outside the state, for larger
latitude in the challenging of jurors
in criminal cases and for larger power
of the state in investigating criminal

wisconsin's New Governor.

At noon Monday Wisconsin acquired
new governor, Emanuel L. Philip
having assumed the oath of office at
tnat time. This event of swearing in
a governor happens every two years
in Wisconsin, but it does not always
supply a new personality in the
governor.
1t is perhaps freighted with more
significance at this time than ordina-
rily, since Mr.. Philip was chosen
governor on a platform and after a
campaign in which many promises Of
departure from what has been accept
ed in this state as the undertakings
that should be dominant in govern
ment, were made.
These platform and other declara-
tions are well known to the public
and perhaps need little or no recount
ing here. Suffice to say they have
primarily to do with more economical,
efficient government.
Perhaps Mr.. Phillip is entering
upon more or less tempestuous un-
dertaking That it is a laudable one
all fair minded citizens will admit.
No doubt out of the recent campaign
there are many disappointments. But
no one can say regardless of what
party or faction he trains with that
Mr.. Phillip did not openly declare
his attitudes and submit them frank
ly and fairly to the voters.
Having been elected on such pre-
sentation to the people should not the
good wishes of all who believe in
economical, efficient government, re-
gardless Of partisan lr factional differ
ences, attend him in his administra-
ton?
Those who for purely partisan or
fractional advantage would beset his
way in seeking economical, efficient
government with difficulties or wish
him failure in his undertakings to
that end could only do so to the injury
of good government. Those who seek
partisan or factional advantage at the
expense of that kind of government
are not its friends. With them party,
faction or self-seeking is quite para
mount no matter what pretenses they
make.
The success of any governors
administration while always creditable
and advantageous to him is the
greater advantage of all the people
of the state and for that reason all
who are not partisan orfactional bigots
will wish the state and governor that
advantage Milwaukee News.

WITH the roar of guns from United
States warships, with military pa
rades, and speech by President Will
son, will be celebrated at New Or
leans, January S, 1915, the centenary
of the famous battle of New Orleans,
one hundred years before. In the
summer Of 1914 the British govern
ment launched against the United
States an attack which it was expect
ed would prove decisive. A great
fleet and army of over twenty thou
sand soldiers and sailors was sent TO
capture New Orleans.
Five miles out of the city Andrew
Jackson with an army of Tennessee
and Kentucky frontiersmen barred
the path of the advancing host. On
January s, the British made deter
mined assault upon the American
lines. The issue showed that not
even Wellington's veterans lighting in
the open could make way against the
terrible fire of the frontier rifiemen.
In short space of tine two thousand
British dead and wounded strewed
the plain in front of Jsckson's in
trenchment, while the American loss
was only seyenty-one. All too late
the news was borne across the ocean
that peace had been made at Client,
Belgium, on December "a, two weeks
before the battle.
