LEGISLATIVE LETTER'REAL ESTATE DEALS
RECAPITULATION OF SPECIAL
SESSIONS WORK. MAJORITY
CONDEMN BOB.

Madison, Wis, March 1.-THE spe-
clal legislative session Of 1918, Wis
consin's first war legislature, has pass
ed into history, and some of the rec
ords will be interesting when the war
is over. The most spectacular fight
staged in years was that in the as
sembly over the La Toilette resolu-
ton. The members who were deter
mined to condemn the senior senator
finally won, So to 80, but the last SEES
sion lasted nearly forty-eight hours.
AS it turned out the fight was be-
tween those who have been Simon
pure La Toilette men, the socialists
and four democrats on one side, and
the Philip republicans on the other
Nine democrats aided the Philip men
and took an active part in the fight.
The one charge against Senator La
Toilette, which was unanswered eth
or in the senate or house, which in
fiuenced many members was that he
never had uttered one word in sup
port of the government and it's war
activities. His voting record in the
United States senate, which included
support of war measures, did not con-
vince those who voted to condemn
him.
The resolution has been adopted,
and a majority at least, of the Wiscon-
sin legislature is on record for it.
That ought to silence the charges
made in the east that La Toilette rep
resents popular sentiment in Wiscon-
sin.
The legislature completed all the
business for which it was called in
a satisfactory manner. The bond issue
bill supported by Gov Philip was
passed by a substantial majority
Bonds now will be issued, payable
after 1923, and it is expected that the
national government will begin the
payment Of its debt to the state in
time to take care of the bonds as they
mature. In that case no expense
will fall upon the taxpayers.
The absent voters BILL amended
during the last day of the special ses-
sion, will give the Wisconsin soldiers
in the field the right to take part in
the elections while they are at war.
The bill provides that all Wisconsin
soldiers within the territorial limits
of the United States can vote, and
further that whenever the federal
government permits the voting of
soldiers in foreign countries special
messengers shall be sent to gather
the votes for Wisconsin. At present
the federal government has ruled
against voting at the war fronts, be-
cause of the difficulties surrounding
such an undertaking.
If the present members Of the leg
islature are successful, the next reg
ular session will see few changes.
Most Of the members believe they
should stay on the job while the coun-
try is at war, and nearly all will be
candidates for reelection.

DOGS KILL 11S SHEEP:
HE STILL KEEPS FLOCK.

That Wisconsin can and should
raise more sheep is generally admit
ted. That the dog is one of the great
est menaces to the sheep industry is
not so generally realized. John White
of Rock county tells a story of dog
losses and of almost unvarying ad-
herence to the industry which will in
terest both lovers of dogs and lovers
Of justice.
His first flock, established in 1880
consisted of Merinos. Dogs killed 33
ewes of his flock in one night, while
they were still in the barns and
yards. In the same season so lambs
were slaughtered in the same way.
Mr.. White made no further attempts
at sheep husbandry, after these loss
es, until 1884. He bought six pure
bred Oxford ewes and one ram, the
beginning of a flock which he main
tanned for six years. In that time he
lost Is animals
In 1910 he started a third flock
and since that time dogs have killed
IL members Of the flock Seven large
lambs were killed on Nov. Is of last
year
This fockmaster's loss of 118 ami
mails in % years, period during
which he raised sheep only half the
time, is an experience which would
balk the efforts of many producers
In spite of this, Mr.. White, fond of the
Of oh y
refuses to give up his flock, and hopes
for legislation which will assure pro-
tectiOn.-Ft. Atkinson Union.

stitutions of the ST. tie. Lawrence COL
lege at Appleton to the extent of
100000 and the Student Church. at
the State University at Madison to
the extent of 2$5O,OOO These two in
situations represent a Methodist stu
dent body of about 2,0OO Of this
S75O,OOO about $45O,OOO has already
been raised in large sums.
A canvass is being made throughout
the state during these next three
weeks for the rest of the sum. Rev.
2. M. Haight of Montfort, Rev. Harry
Evans of Linden, Rev. T. S. Beavens
Of Dodgeville, and Rev. G. H. r. Ker-
shaw of Fennimore, are in this city
soliciting funds for this endowment
week. This team with the local pas
tor here will also canvass Fennimore,
MOntfort, Livingston, Cobb, Linden
and Dodgeville.
Twenty different protestant denom-
nations in this country united in a
great educational campaign to cele-
brate the 400th anniversary of the
Protestant Reformation and the nail
ing of the famous thesis to the door
Of the Wittenburg cathedral. We are
now approaching the end of the per-
iod in which the Methodist church
alone attempted to raise 100000
for Christian education, S25,000,00O
Of which has already been raised.
1t looks like a huge protest against
German prodigality toward her own
spiritual father.

we find that "a we're produced by
Eastern yards, IS by Gulf yards, ii
by Great Lakes yards and 43 by
Pacific coast yards. Those West
ern ships were not small ones, eth
er. They averaged larger than those
OF other sections.
In actual tonnage, the Pacific
yards beat the Atlantic yards two
to one. Moreover, the Western
coast won the state records. CALI
fornia produced the largest number
OF steel ships, and Washington the
largest number of wooden ships,

This showing does not necessaI-
lily indicate the relative production
of the various states and sections
right along. The East may have,
actually or in prospect, greater
shipbuildng capacity than the west.
But everybody will agree that the
achievements of the West SO far
have been nothing less than mar
yelous. 1t has got the jump on the
East. VIII the East eaten up?
