The HERALD popular voting con-

enthusiasm is early shown by
those who wish their friends to win
one of these grand prizes. Never
have we had contest that has met
with such cordial reception.
The people in this vicinity appre-

the amount of over $500 were to be
given away -one$350 piano absolutely
free and one $3.50 piano and $50 New

Already number of nominations
have been sent in, also numerous
votes. The nominations will not be
published this week. We want a
large and complete list from the Very

HEALTH INSURANCE.

Two State commissions, the first of
their kind in this country, one in Cali
fornia and the other in Massachusetts,
have reported in favor of legislation
providing for compulsory health insur-
ance of wage-earners, which is being
advocated as the next great step.in
social reform now that workmen' com
pensation laws have been enacted in
most of the industrial States Bills
have been introduced or reintroduced
since the beginning of the year in New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts.
Connecticut, Maine, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire, Washington, and Missouri, and a
campaign for a constitutional amend
ment is under way in California.
In fact, the movement has gained
such momentum during the short space
of time in which it has been under way
that its chief sponsors are having diff
Guilty in keeping up with it. On the
other hand, however, powerful opposi-
ton is developing, based largely upon
a belief that eompulsion is a viola lion
of American ideals and traditions. that

perience of nations which have adopted
health insurance has been too short to

and other factors of the problem, is in

IT may be unjust, but it is neverthe-
less the case, that most people in Wis

claim of our legislators that their Job

most of US believe that the members
