CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
IN THE BADGER STATE

The abolition of capital punishment
has been decreed by the state of Mis-
souri, this past winter and is at pres
ent being considered by the legisla-
ture of Illinois. With respect to this
matter Wisconsin leads Missouri and
Illinois by almost seventy years. In
the territorial period executions were
of frequent occurrence in Wisconsin.
They were treated as public holidays,
attended by thousands of people, and
Judging from current newspaper &C
counts were exceedingly demoralizing
affairs.
Through the efforts of one man,
chiefly, these CHASTITY saturnalias
were put an end to in Wisconsin.
Martin H. Bovee came to Wisconsin
as a lad of sixteen in 1843. Becoming
impressed with the futility and inhu-
mainly of capital punishment he de-
voted his life to securing it's abolition.
Elected to the state senate in 1858,
from this vantage point he secured
the passage of a law changing the
penalty for first-degree murder from
death to Imprisonment for life. Since
it's passage there has been no legal IN

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

Baton Rouge, Nov. 81, 1917.
To Chairman Parish Council of
Defense:
Gentlemen-This letter is di-
rected especially to chairmen in
mining and oil field districts in
the State of Louisiana.
Parish councils Of defense
should see hardware dealers and
supply houses and insist upon the
same procedure in the sale OF
dynamite. nitroglycerine and 9TH
er explosives as was asked to be
observed in the sale of firearms
some time ago.
Ask that dealers do not sell to
anyone who excites suspicion.
Ask also that each dealer keep a
record of the name and address
and the reference Of each man
who purchases explosives. This
record should be available for the
parish council Of defense and the
parish sheriff. 1t may be that
you will want to address letters to
all harware dealers and supply
houses. or it may be that your
parish sheriff will take care OF
this matter for you. But it is
very important that this be at
tended to. We had better be
"safe than sorry"
Yours very truly,
La. State Council of Defense.

Children Cry
FOR FLETcHER'S
q A . r O RIA

We were especially requested
to call the attention of the au-
thorities to the condition Of the
piece Of road leading out from up
per Main Street to the Landry
property north Of this City. This
particular piece Of highway which
was built at a great expense to
the taxpayers is rapidly becoming
so full of holes and ruts that au-
tomobile traffic, instead of being
a pleasure is just the reverse for
those who use it. Were a
rainy season to set in, which is
apt to occur before many weeks,
this road will be impossible unless
it receives some attention at once.
In as much as a special tax has
been voted in the Sixth Ward for
the issuance Of bonds to gravel
this highway as well as numerous
others in this Ward. would it not
be a good investment on the part
Of the Police Jury while they are
waiting for the proceeds of the
sale of the bonds to purchase
gravel at once and apply several
car loads of it in the numerous
ruts before bad weather sets in.
Owing to the large canal that
parallel this particular road max
ing it extremely dangerous for
traffic something should be done
as early as possible to prevent ac-
cidents from occurring. In times
Of wet weather there is no doubt
this road is very hazardous and
for that reason the sooner it IS
eraveled the better.
