The Carl Hansen resolution to ad-
journ the legislature sine die June 8
was tabled. Under suspension Of the
rules bill appropriating $4,000 to buy
seed and machinery to operate the new
prison farm at Waupun was passed.

to regulate workmen's compensation
rates and classifications in this state.

To Establish Tuberculosis So

o ESCdOltSn tuDSFCUIOSIS OdHIIdFtun.
BY unanimous vote the joint commit
tee on finance has recommended for
passage the Baxter bill providing for
the establishment of a tuberculosis
sanitarium in northern Wisconsin. The
Board of control is empowered to make
the selection of the site for the instiu-
ton. Appearing before the finance
committee was Otto r. Bradley Of the
Wisconsin anti-TuberculOsis society.
He favored the passage of the bill, de-
claring that such an institution was
necessary in northern Wisconsin and
pointing out the advantages of such an
institution in that section Of the state.
The joint finance committee of the
legislature has also recommended for
passage bill giving the state council
Of defense power to take charge of the
food situation in case of emergency.
The bill provides that whenever the
council Of defense shall find and deter
mine that a scarcity of food, fuel,
seeds or other personal property, nee
eSsary for the common defense, or for
the general public welfare, exists or
threatens while the nation is at war,
that the state council Of defense shall
have power to take charge Of the situa-
ton. The bill further provides that
whenever the prices are excessive, ex-
tortionate or prohibitive that the
council is empowered to take posses
sion of such amounts of any or all
property as it may deem necessary and
shall pay just compensation for the
same. The bill gives the council of de-
Tense the right TO take charge Of the
storage warehouses and all storage IA
cilities and to compensate the owners
by reasonable price.
The Rosa bill to permit the estab-
lishment of the city manager plan of
government in Wisconsin will probably
be enacted into law at this season. The
senate has sent the bill to engrossment
after incorporating a small amend
ment. This bill permits the retention
of the present council, but gives the
council power to hire business man.

To Repeal onc-Buck Law.
The assembly committee on fish and
game, and the senate committee on
state affairs have agreed to recomend
the repeal of the one-buck law. The
two committees, which are in charge
of the recodifcation of the game laws,
favor an open season during the last
ten days Of November, during which
deer of either sex may be taken.
While committee reports carry some
weight, it is certain that there will be
a strenuous fight in the senate to re-
tain the one-buck law, and there is
chance for it TO stand for another two
years.

response to requests coming from dis
tinguished statesmen at Washington
and others for an expression from
him on the national crisis.
"The primary duty of citizen is
loyalty to country" continued the
cardinal. This loyalty is manifested
more by acts than by words; by SOL

defamation. 1t is exhibited by an abb
solute and reserved obedience to his
country's call.
.Both houses of Congress with the
executive are charged and sworn to
frame those laws that are demanded
bv the present crisis. Whatever, there
fore, Congress may decide should be
unequivocally complied with by every
patriotic citizen. The members of
both houses of Congress are the in
struments of God in guiding US in
our civic duties. 1t behooves all of
us, therefore, to pray that the Lord
of Hosts may inspire our national
legislature and executive to frame
such laws in the present crisis as will
rebound to the glory of our coun-
try, to righteousness of conduct and
to the future permanent peace of the
nations of the world

CARDINAL GIBBONS CHEERED In FRANCE

Lament.

Paris, April 6-Yesterday was
Americas day in France. Besides
great Parliamentary manifestation
and the general display of the Stars
and Stripes throughout the capital
the municipal councils met in cities,
both large and small, throughout
France, and passed resolutions ae-
claiming the United States.
Such was the demand for news
papers that the evening editions OF
the Paris papers giving the vote OF
the United States Senate on the war
resolution were quickly exhausted.
The crowded subway cars were more
animated than at any time since the
war began, with conversation general
about the new American ally. Knots
of soldiers and civilians in front of
all cafes and at all street corners dis
cussed the great event with manifest
satisfaction.
The appearance of the American
flag at windows in different parts of
the city multiplied rapidly as the
dav advanced, and soon the available
supply was exhausted,

Chamber came to order and began
an address in solemn and impressive
tones to the Silent assemblage, which
filled every part of the House. The
Deputies listened with unbroken at
tention until the first mention of the
United States. Then they broke out
in applause. At first it was decor
Gus clapping of hands and then the
whole house spontaneously arose
cheering for the United States and
President Wilson.
The American Ambassador, Will
lam G. Sharp, was in the diplomatic
gallery. The Deputies turned to.
ward him and the demonstration
continued. The Ambassador stooc
up and bowed, and the cheering was
redoubled in; intensity.
