The Wisconsin idea of one kind
and another have suffered many re-
verses, but others have, perhaps, gain
ed by observation as much as Wis
consin has suffered by experimenting.
The effect of the direct primary sys-
tenn there seems to have been to let
less of the people rule, for the voting
population has diminished steadily
since it's adoption, though it's total
population has increased. If the
reason for that phenomenon can be
discovered we may be able to revise
our direct primary law to avoid it.

Like a stone from a catapult Joe
Welcher hurled himself across the
room and was upon Hernandez in a
flash. Under the assault Hernandez
retreated violently to the wall, strik-
ing his head against the mantel.
Are you crazy, you-worm?" cried
Hernandez with snarl.
'I've-turned," snarled Joe In re-
turn.
Without waiting for breath he flung
himself once more at Hernandez.
"Help!" cried Hernandez. 'Inez-
tackle this mosquito"
Inez was a valuable ally. She at
tackled Joe from the rear, and her as
sault was effectual Her onslaught
was so severe that it caused Joe to re-
treat He did retreat until he faced
them both.
"Now," said Hernandez. And both
descended upon him. Joe was ready
for them. He seized a chair and
whirled 1t about his head-frenzy lend
ing him violence and strength.
Come oni" he cried, "all three of
you at once!"
With one wild final swing he brought
the chair crashing down on Hernandez
head. No, not on Hernandez head
1t fell short of that, but crashed on
something else-the chandelier above
Hernandez head.
There was ripping, tearing, crack
ing southland then crash. Down
came the chandelier in a tangled heap
upon the floor.
For one instant there was a cessa-
tieu of hostilities. The shades were
down-the lights extinguished-th the
room plunged into semi-darkness.
Annette watched in alright. Sud-
denly a strange, familiar odor assailed
her nostrils.
"Stop-stop!" she cried.
But none needed her. The Brute |
still held her fast And Joe, in his new
and ungovernable frenzy, was once
more at it with the chair, clearing g
space about aim ON the floor, driving
Inez and Hernandez before him into
one corner after another.
His chair whirling, touched live
wire-from which the insulation had
been torn. The wire, recoiling from
the blow, struck piece of disjointed
gas pipe still clinging to the ceiling.
Then-fzz-a spark-a multitude of
sparks A pause-a seconds pause
And then the whole room, with
mighty roar, burst itself out into the
open air.
A hOrseman, speeding down the
straight road, heard the boom. He saw
