DARNELL CONVICTED.

James Morrison Darnell of Kenosha
was in the United States court at Mil
waukee last Thursday found guilty of
violating the white slave law and will
serve a term in the federal prison at
Leavenworth. If he had not crossed
state lines in his misconduct the wretch
would have escaped practically without
punishment. The Mann act ought to be
supplemented by state laws to the same
effect. A bill for that purpose was in
troduced at Madison early in the legis-
Iative session; but it was killed by men
who are ever ready to declare their OPP
position to fool laws.

FATEFUL WORDS.

In this issue of The Democrat is
printed the full text of the communica-
ton from Washington to Berlin. de-
manding that submarine warfare on
ocean commerce shall cease. 1t is
courteous, wise, firm. 1t is great
piece of word masonry. the handiwork
of a master of the English language, a
brave and true American patriot,
whose heart beats with love for all
mankind. The people of the whole
nation are close behind the words OF
President Wilson.

good citizens to support the administration in
its foreign policy, whatever that may be during
the present war on the ground that the presi-

any private citizen can be. He extends to
President Wilson the same courtesy that Pres

AT MADISON.

All thoughts of a short session of the
Wisconsin legislature have gone aglim-
mering. It is now we'll past the middle
of May, and the end is not yet in sight.
But as time passes the hollow sham of
the campaign of last fall becomes more
and more apparent. Senators and as
semblylnen who, according to their
pre- election romances, had no thought
but how to reduce taxation, now evil
IDENTIFY lie awake nights to serve special
interests and mess up the laws of the
state. To legalize illegal saloons; to
tinker with the ballot; to make public
education dear; to boost rates for life
insurance and fire insurance; to de-
bauch the state civil service; to make
of none effect that most righteous
measure the corrupt practices act; to
repeal the state fire insurance fund law;
and to tear to pieces the Husting water
power law, CHo HoSG Carefully uldWu
and best law of it's kind ever enacted,
and give away without money and
without price the last of the peoples
vast heritage of natural resources:
these are some of the achievements in
statecraft upon which the hearts of too
manv of orr law makers are SET with a
stubborn determination. 1t is high
time for reaction against such reaction.
