STUDENT WIN VOTE RIGHT
Judge Stevens Rules That Intent to
Remain indefinitely in City
Establishes Residence.

Madison-In the student voting
cases. Judge E. Ray Stevens of circuit
court has decided that it is not neces-
sary that the voter should intend to
remain permanently in this city. He
holds that even an intent to return to
his home in another state at some fu-
ture time does not prevent him from
acquiring residence here if he comes
with the intention of remaining for
an indefinite time as a place of pres
ent residence"
In substance, the decision of the
court means that if a student, or any
one else, comes here and establishes
his residence here for an indefinite
period, he has right to vote here.
Judge Stevens held that Albert Ar
bahr, John Gross and Fred Siebold
university students, have right to
vote here
Randolph L. Wadsworth, also a stu
dent, is not a qualified voter, accord
ing to the decision. The court held
that he does not state any facts show
ing an intention to remain in Madison
for any particular period of time. His
home is in Kentucky.

TEST OREGON 10-H0UR LAW
Brief Filed by State Insists Short
Hours Tend to Better Use
of Leisure.

Washington. April 1.-THE state of
Oregon ten-hour maximum work day
law is under test in the Supreme court
on an appeal by Franklin o. Bunting
of that state, who was convicted in the
state supreme court of having violat-
ed the law. He appealed to the higher
court on the ground that the state
law violated the fourteenth amend
ment of the United States Constitu-
tion.
The brief in the Oregon answer to
the appeal denies there is any con-
fiict between the state law and the
constitutional amendment, as set up,
and insists on the legality of the law.
In one part of the brief, 1t is argued:
After continuous work, a certain
amount of leisure and recreation is a
physiological necessity. The workers
condition determines in large meas
ure whether or not he takes advantage
of opportunities for self-improvement
or legitimate enjoyment. The work
er who has not exhausted his energies
by overexertion turns instinctively to
the better use of leisure"

GENERAL CLEAN UP URGED
Flies Are Given Credit for Destroying
More Human Lives Every Year
Than Are Killed In
Battle.

Madison - Wisconsin communities
are embaTking on the greatest concert.
ed fight on the typhoid fly in the
states history. This is evident from
reports coming to the state board of
health. Never before has such great
activity against fly borne disease been
started SO early in so many places in
this state. Many cities are already
enlisted in fly lighting campaigns.
Fly swatting alone will not externi-
nate flies. the state health department
warns. OF first Importance is a gen
eral cleaning up of the premises and
the removal of all breeding places.
Flies can best be exterminated by
starving them out
With warm weather nearly here,
flies are awaking from their winter
lethargy. Once allowed to propagate.
millions of their descendants will soon
horde the premises, carrying disease
germs wherever they alight. The
house fly, with capacity for carry
ing 100000 bacteria at once, is cred
tied with destroying every year more
people than are killed in battle. Its
designation as the typhoid fly was Civ
en- by government scientists because
of its progress with disease germs
from all sorts of filthy places to the
dinner table.

FAvORS U. S. PLANT
SENATE PASSES AMENDMENT TO
ARMY BILL.
Provides Government Nitrate Factory
to Cost $4,000, ,ooo-House Yet
to Take Action.

Washington. April 17-Champions
of government hydro-electric plant
to produce nitrate for the manufac-
ture of war munitions and fertilizer
won their fight in the senate on Friday
by inserting an amendment proposing
an appropriation of SIS, 100000 for that
purpose into the Chamberlain army
increase bill. The vote was 43 to 22.
As the nitrate plant section in the
house bill was defeated when the Hay
blu was under consideration there,
final determination of the issue must
await action by the conference COM
mittee of the two houses.
The action was based on an amend
ment by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima. 1t would provide for the sale of
Panama-canal bonds by the govern
ment for raising the required $15,000,-
600 and the president would be au.
thoriZed to designate not more than
five water-power sites to make them
available for power plants to manu-
facture nitrates. Products of these
plants not needed for manufacture of
munitions of war would be sold for the
manufacture of fertilizer land other
useful products"
Senator Wadsworth urged adoption
of his amendment to require officers
and enlisted men upon entering the
National Guard to take an oath to
obey the orders both of the president
and of the governor of their state
On roll call for the proposal the
vote was % to %. less than a quorum.
and the senate recessed.

CHEERS FOR PRESIDENT
WILSON ASKS IF NATION is
READY FOR SACRIFICE.
Chief Executive Declares He Is Inter
ested in Seeing Load Depressing
Humanity Lifted.

Washington, April 15.-President
Wilson, speaking at a Jefferson day
banquet of Democrats from all parts
of the country here last night, prayed
that the United States would not be
drawn into a quarrel not of its own
choosing. but asked whether the peo-
pie were ready to go in where the in
terests of America were coincident
with the interests of humanity, and
have the courage to withdraw when
the interests of humanity had been
conserved He was interrupted by
cheers and shouts of Yes"
The president mentioned the Euro
pean war and the Mexican question
without intimating what were his
plans in either of the problems con-
fronting the United States.
He declared that in the present
isituation the responsibility was with
the Democratic party because that
sfarty controls the government.
ia The president declared that he was
not interested in personal ambition
nor even enthusiastic over party sue
cess, but that he was interested in
seeing the load depressing humanity
lifted.
What the nation demands now, the
president said. is service essentially
nonpartisan, not only in consideration
of foreign affairs but in domestic af-
fairs as well.
Referring incidentally to Mexico, he
told of how a man had urged that
trustees for that nations welfare be
chosen, and of his reply that no ma
tion had achieved real prosperity and
happiness for its masses through a
trusteeship imposed on it from above.
1t was the first speech of political
nature the president had made for
several months. 1t was delivered be-
fore an audience including nearly all
the members of the senate and house,
Democratic state chairmen from many
states, and other high officials of the
nation and states
The president was referred to re-
peatedly as the next president" by
Senators Hollis and Walsh and Rep
resentative Glass. who preceded him.
