.BRANDE|S CONFIRMED
BY VOTE OF 47-22
FIRST JEW FOR SUPREME COURT
BENCH TAKES OATH.
JUNE IL.

Washington, June 2.-The nominal
ton of Louis D. Brandeis of Boston
Ito the Supreme Court to succeed the
late Joseph Rucker Lamar was con-
|filmed b.. the Senate today by vote
of 81 to %. The vote, taken without
debate, ended one of the bitterest con-
TESTS ever waged against presiden-
|tial nominee. Mr.. Brandeis will be
the first Jew to occupy seat on the
Supreme bench.
Only one Democrat, Senator New
lands, voted against confirmation,
Three Republicans, Senators LaFol-
lette, Norris and PoindeXter, voted
with the Democratic majority, and
Senators Gronna and Clapp would
have done so but were paired with
Senators Borah and Kenyon. The neg
alive vote of Senator Newlands was
complete surprise to the Senate,
and the Nevada senator, recognizing
that his action had aroused comment,
later made public formal explana-
ton.
Il have a high admiration for Mr.
Brandeis as a publicist and propagan-
dist of distinction said Senator New
lands. Il do not regard him as a
man of judicial temperament and for
that reason | have voted against his
confirmation"

BAPTIST REVIVAL.

With noticeable increase in inter

the First Baptist Church went for

gregation yet assembled there. When,
at the conclusion OF the sermon the
minister asked the hand of every one
who would strive to make this great
revival, the majority of the house
fastened forward to meet him, mani
Testing in their movements strong
resolve. The results of yesterdays
services were twelve added to the list
of converted.
The subject of the sermon last
night was: "A PoweTless Church" A

that make a church powerless.

preacher said, will block the power of

he sapped In proof of this several
forceful illustrations were recited.
BY our personal sins, as members,
the church is made powerless. AS
long as we indulge in personal sin the
power of God cannot come upon us.
Long tongues. dishonest scales in the
store, enmities. moving picture shows,
dancing, are some Of the sins in the
church that make it so weak.
A poor sense of our spiritual re-
sponsibility, he said. renders us pow

on our hands and We do not care. God
help us to see the value of souls that
we may lead them to Christ" A beau

Wesley. The secret of this wonder

PATENTED DRYER
INSTALLED HERE
PHOENIX FITTED WITH MACHINE
WHICH is LAST WORD IN
LAUNDRY WORK.

| With the installation in the big plant
of the Phoenix Laundry here today OF
the patented Perfection Dryer, Man
ager G. p Smith believes that he has
a machine which is the last word in
patents for laundering delicate fancy
work
The dryer is huge duck covered
board, an inch or more III thickness,
through which 124 feet of coiled pipes
carrying steam, pass. Centerpieces,
table cloths, curtains and all kinds of
delicate handiwork, after being laun-
dried, are placed on this duck COW
cred board. Skilled workmen care
fully pin them to the duck, and the
steam passing through the pipes heats
them to the required stage, and dries
them. The effect is much better than
the old "stretcher" method, as the
articles, when dried, will lie flat on
the table.
The drier is new patent. Only one
has been tried in New Orleans, and
that was Installed this week.

asifollows: At the close of the war mil
lions of men now engaged in the con-
fiict in Europe in the armies and mil
lions Of men now engaged in industrial
occupation dependent on the demands
of that conflict will be in the market

The industrial demands of the United

listing wages if the United States mar
ket is conserved for them To the ex-
tent that the economic policy of the
government in power at the close of
the war protects our home demands for

is broad enough to allow and liberal
enough to enable our own industries to
enter into the worlds market under
equal marketing conditions with the
rest of the world will our foreign trade

More Interurban Promises.

John A. Awkward told the Wisconsin
railroad commission Friday that John
T. Adams of Columbus, Ohio, would be
in Madison before Sept. to begin the
grading of an interurban line from
Madison to Stoughton. The work is to
be done by the Wisconsin Interurban
system.
This statement was made at the
hearing on the application of the Cap
ital Interurban company for certlfi-
cate of public convenience and neces-
sity to build a line from Madison to
GAINESVILLE. The promoter of the new
line of Gustav Pickhardt, who was or
iginally the promoter of the small line
partially built into the town of Bloom
ing Grove.
The Wisconsin Interurban company,
of which J. E. Jones of Portage is the
promoter, objects to the granting of a
certificate to the new company. 1t
contends that it has sold bonds, has
made a contract with construction
company and that now it's project
should not be placed in jeopardy by the
granting of a certificate for another
company. Mr.. Awkward said that the
application was made one year ago by
the Janesville-Ma Madison company to
build line to GAINESVILLE and that the
application today is for the same route
under a different name. He pointed
out that the law prohibits the consid-
GRAFTON of an applicant for the same
route within two years of the last re-
fusal.
''Only one year has elapsed since the
last REFUSAL" declared Mr.. Aylward.
Frank H. Boden, Milwaukee, is ap-
pearing as the attorney for Mr.. Pick
hardt at the hearing. He contends that
the applications Of the Janesville- Madi-
son company and the Capital Interur-
ban company are not the same.
The matter was held open to take
testimony State Journal.

Governor Philips Figures.

Just let Governor Philip keep ham,
mering away long enough and Wlscon-
sin taxpayers must be convinced ulti-
mately that he has worked an actual
saving of large sum to the people of
Wisconsin.
The stubborn truth cannot be evaded:
The cost of state government actual
ly has been decreased; and no doubt 1T
will be deer eased further if Governor
Phillip only has the support to which
he is entitled.
1t is a circumstance known to every
body familiar with legislation that it
was only by the most desperate en-
deavor that he was able to persuade
the last legislature to limit its appro-
priations within the bounds that he had
ascertained as necessary.
It can not be doubted, as Governor
Phillip has stated in recent speech,
that the net disbursements of the state
in 1915, the last fiscal year of Meow
ern's administration, were S15, 900, :
$685. 40, while for the fiscal year 1916,
under Governor Philip, the disburse-
ments were S749, 221.9S less! Records
in the capital prove this fact.
Why try to gainsay it?
1t is not necessary to go into details.
The big, bold truth confronts one.
Taxpayers should be proud of the
fact regardless of the faction to which
they may belong, and justly Governor
Phillip should have credit for what he
has done. He sought public office on
the promise to reduce the cost of state
government.
He has done it!
Yet he has not done all that should
be done. The expense of state govern
ment is altogether too great yet. We
have too many commissions, too big an
army of public officials; but Governor
Phillip was not able to shift the bu-
reaucrat:c system completely during
the last legislature. His efforts We're
blocked, not wholly by any means, yet
sufficiently to render his reforms unfin-
ished.
Governor Phillip now is going forth
before the people of the state with data
in hand from the official records to
prove his case-and he is proving it.
1T may be hoped that he gets this con-
vincing information before every voter
of the commonwealth before election
day.-Madison Democrat.

SENATOR LAFoLLETTE is home and
has taken the stump for the primary
campaign. In defense of his vote for
the Underwood tariff bill he says the
tariff adds to the cost of living, which
is the old democratic doctrine of years
ago If so, the converse of the propo-
sition ought also to be true-lower the
tariff and reduce the cost of living.
That is just what the democrats prom
ised to do in the Underwood tariff bill,
but where are they? Has anyone dis
covered where the reduction comes in?
