]. M. BECK SPEAKS
 TO NOTED LAWYERS
(COntinued from First Page).

Accompanying the indisposition to work the solicitor general continued, has been a mad desire for pleasure such as has not been seen within the memory of living man.
 Man has danced upon the verge of a social abyss, and even the danc- ing has, both in form and in accom- panying music, lost it's former grace and reverted to the primitive forms of uneiVilized conditions" Mir. Beck declared.
 Speaking of newspapers, he de- plored the increase in the "ephemer- al and trivial,'' saying that pages were devoted to sport, while literary, art and musical reviews and scientific dis cussions are omitted or given little space.'
 Causes of Unrest.
 Undoubtedly there are many con- tributing causes to this world wide revolution against authority MT. Beck continued. Thus, the multi picity of laws does not tend to de- velop a lava biding spirit A race of

JITNEYMENS' WISDOM

The jitneymen who vacated their appeal from the case where they were fined S20 and costs imposed on them by a local court were wise. Nor does this statement mean that the jitneymen, in some instances, have not good cases.
 In that case, if memory serves, many things were not brought out which are facts in most of the jitney running cases. Coming at the time it did, the case was too evidently an attempt to evade the law, and the attempted evasion, matter how clever it was, was not given every chance in the court Evidence which might be presented in many of these jitney cases seems never to have been used, or, if used, presented in derstood.
 There has never been a case, for instance, as far as is generally known, where a jitneyman was ar rested while trying to answer the calls of persons asking to be taken from a certain point to another point at certain hour, and where such evidence was strongly presented to the court. As far as it is possible to learn it has never been shown in a case that the very ''jitneys' whose drivers were arrested and tried, showed that they did not travel over the old route without a variance, but that they left the beaten path as patrons demanded.
 There is no question but that the jitneymen are trying, or have been trying to give the city the trans ortation it needs regardless of the trolleys. This brings a conflict never been squarely shown as it should have been. There has been no real test case.
 Certainly the Public Utilities Com mission has no right to bar taNis from our streets. Many a taxi, hired perfectly legitimately, does conflict with the jitney. A man may take a taxi from the railroad station Gi rect to his home on West Mai1 street. He may wish to do so tt avoid trouble. Certainly he has tha right Yet in taking that taxi ii has deprived the Connecticut com pany of ten or twenty cents.s
 The best sort of evidence should b collected in case most favorable t the jitney or taxi, tried and if beaten then is the time to appeal. There little use in taking a weak case t the higher court.

 Mechanical Expenses.
 MT. Beck declared that mechanical inventions were in a large measure responsible for the malady With Watts utilization of steam, man was enabled to multiply his powers thousandfold.
 A Clear Scope.
 No one would be mad enough to suggest such a rctrogression as the abandonment of labor saving machin- cry that would be involved. But take from intnl the opportunity of work and sense of pride in achie1 1en1ent and you have taken from him the very life of his existence" he said in answering the question.
 May Be Pessimistic.
 ''I may seem unduly pessimistic," MT. Beck said in conclusion" and can suggest no remedy, but there are discussed. To re-kindle in men the love of work for works sake and the spirit of discipline would do much to solve this problem. If only we recog- nize that the evil exists, then the sit

BLONDE OR BRUNETTE.


 Once, all my hopes, so fair, so fond, Were built on visions of a blonde; A youthful maid l meant to woo Where daffodils and daises grew Around some secret sylvan pond She had to be a blonde! And then there came sweet coquette Who changed my longings to brunette i; A maze of color, charm, and pose, A flash of lilac and of rose. 1 said: When l put down the bet. She must be brunette!' An, those were days and nights of gold When hearts were young and never cold When lovers came and lovers went As often as they might repent. We counted ev'ry broken bond "A brunette or a blonde. 1 was so taken with the charms Of maids from cities and from farms, And saw so many sparkling eyes That flashed me glints of paradise, That l, in truth, am dizzy yet From blonde and from brunette. It makes no QlII renee to He HOW! The treSSeS on miladyS brow May be of ultra-raven hue, Or sparkling like the morning dew. The main thing now is that l get A blonde or brunette. They told me, when a lad of seven, That marriages are made in heaven; And though such tales l doubted then Approaching to three score and ten, I wonder now who will respond A brunette, or a blonde?

MARRIED WOMEN WORKERS

When the wife of the leader of labor speaks it is supposed that she speaks with the consent of her husband, and that what she says re- fleets his own opinion on the subject
 That which the wife of Samuel Gompers says about women who work, not of necessity, therefore, is worth reading, no matter what opinion we may hold personally on the subject But in reading her re- marks it must be remembered that what one person may deem "neces- sity' may not seem necessity to another. Mrs. Gompers' idea of necessity, may not be yours Or mine. This is her opinion:
 "A married woman who works, not of necessity but from choice, is talk ing bread and butter away from some one who needs it.
 "Women whose husbands earn a good living should not seek positions in the business world, and thereby furnish an overplus of labor, which will allow employers to use competi- tive demand for jobs for the purpose of lowering wages of women who are compelled to work
 Then, too, tho married woman who works without necessity is dividing her interests. A home, no matter how small is large enough to occupy her mind and time. The home suffers if the wife and mother is in business, and her husband loses something to which a husband | is entitled--the whole-hearted inter- est of his wife. If there are children, | 1t is criminal to leave them to mercy i of the streets The evil influence | of older, wiser and mischievous' chil- dren leaves it's indelible stamp on Iyoung minds and increases the num- in our penitentiaries. Remember, I speak of the woman who does not have to work. Some mothers are lcompelled to add to the family cof- I ensured"
 Do you believe unmarried wom-
 en should occupy political positions? :? Mrs Gompers was asked.'
 NO, unless schools and hospital! are considered political. I thinl
 these and similar institutions should
 be governed by women. 1 do no
 approve of women mayors:'
 Do you think there will be {
 woman president some day?"
 | "Never. I would not like tt
 think of one,' she immediately re
 piled"
 Others may believe that a proper
 looking to the future; increased ad i vantages for the family; uncertainty
 matters of the personal equation may enter into what is necessary And still others may believe that tn , remarkable development of the brail of many women. was given them fo
 a purpose, despite the fact that proper realization of this fact doe } not come to the women until afte marriage.
 5 So we believe that necessity = covereth a multitude of reasons. w t | believe that many women worker f l whose husbands have good jobs'' ar
 justified in working.

Real Beer Still Withheld.

Attorney General Palmer's ruling
that beer Of alcoholic content exceed
ing one-half of one per cent may be
produced and sold for medicinal pur-
poses, with subsequent activity OF
brewers in other cities, has not af-
fected the situation in Madison in the
slightest degree. Both the Hausmann
and Fauerbach breweries have guam
tity of real beer on hand, as it must
be made with considerable alcoholic
percentage before near beer can be OBJ
tanned by reducing the content. IF
we received further assurance that the
sale of real beer for medicinal pur-
poses was permitted, we could place
upon the market considerable amount
in less than "a hours" asserted Carl

will be apportioned in the amount of
the bond An interest rate correspond

Lawmakers Need Outside Support.


What amounts TO practical con-
fessiOn of the members of the legis-
lature that they need outside support
because of the length of the session is
contained in bill which has been ad-
vanced by large vote. This measure
provides that county boards of the
state may appropriate money to help
support members of the legislature
Any county board may vote money to
a member of the legislature represent
ing them at Madison to pay the reg
ular expense. Under the bill members
of the legislature receiving aid from
county boards will be compelled TO
file an expense statement with the
county board showing actual living ex-
penses. The present salary of $500 to
members of the legislature has been
found inadequate to meet actual living
expenses by a large number of mem
bers and this bin is put through in the
belief that large number of county
boards will aid the members of the
legislature to keep them eating and
sleeping at Madison.
