Yet another absentee assembly
man will be John Camper of Med
ford who aspired to the senate, and
fell between, Senator w. l.. Smith
of Neillsville defeating him in the
primary. Mr.. Camper once was a
democratic assemblyman. That
was in 1915, but, failing to be fav-
ored in that camp next time, he ran
as a republican and won. For a
time he was against all radicalism,
but when the great war material
lied he, though native of stout
little Switzerland, swung over and
became an unfailing zealot in the
Blaine-La Toilette phalanx. He lost
his seat in 1918, mid-war days, but
was returned in 1920 and 1922. Mr..
Camper ran as an Independent in
the 1918 campaign and was defeat
ed by L. w. Gibson, republican, 93l
to 548. The latter died during the

Authorities Believe
Now They Have A
Definite Clew To
Work On
WILL SEARCH
FOR MAN WHO
VISITED HOMES
Garment Is Left In
Store On Same Day
Pastors Wife Is
Found in Furnace

Believing they now have a
definite lead which will reveal
that Mrs. Addie Sheatsley. wife of
the Rev. G. U. Sheatsley, Luther
an minister of the suburb of Bex-
ley, near Columbus, Ohio was
murdered by tramp and that her
body was then stuffed into the
parsonage furnace, authorities
have begun a search for a myster-
ious beggar who called at several
homes in the Sheatsley neighbor-
hood the day the furnace victim
was found cremated.
After bringing in a dozen blood
stained articles Of clothing and
furniture from the Lutheran par
sonage, detectives late Thursday
found blood spattered coat in a
dry cleaning shop. II was scor Ii
ed down the front and one Of the
cuffs appeared to have been sing
ed. The man who left the coat
last week was stranger to the
proprietor of the shop. but tod
him that a woman on the East
side had given it to him.
several Neighbors Report
Bexley is on the East side The
coat was left in the ssop Monday;
the day Of the death OF Mrs
Sheatsley. Several neighbUrs Of
TIE Sheatsleys have reported a
strange man had been begging
clothes at their back doors t0at
day. When refused clothing, sew
cral said he hal asked permission
to 80 into the basement to warm
himself In front of tie furnace.
From this evidence, the author
tiles are piecing together a theory
that the tramp gained access to
the Sheatsley basement, where he
murdered tse parsons wife and
stuffed her body into the freboX
to cover up his crime.
1--WE will do everything to find
the clothes beggar," Prosecutor J.
r. King said Tuesday night. A
search for the tramp has been
started

MEMBERS HAVE
QUEER NOTIONS
One Would License
Auto Workers And
Another Would Kill
All Kingfishers
BY o. D. Brandenburg.

No doubt we shall have i'll the
legislature at Madison another at
tempt to create at least one more
licensing board in addition to the
6O-odd adjuncts of a like nature
that now form branches of our
main artery of government. A bill
to license horse-shOers was intro
duced by Assemblyman Henry Ell
lenbecker of Wausau two years ago,
and it's ultimate consideration,
opens the way naturally for it's pre-
sentation again, since Mr.. Ellen
becker is among the solons who
come back. Licensing of auto
repair operators would seem to be
rather more apropos since the adj
vent of the horseless age, and in
deed, something Of the sort was
proposed at the last session but,
with no large degree Of favor.
Rarely has a session ended during
the past twenty years of reform"
when some kind of intrusion into
private affairs, with it's accompany
ing extortiOn, has not become eff
fective; and if any opportunities of
that nature have been neglected
they scarcely can escape much long
er. It has become the Wisconsin
policy to experiment in all possible
ways respecting regulation and the
proximate legislature unfortunately
is constituted to continue along that
line. The vast slump of two-thirds
in the progressive vote at the re-
cent election rather leads to the inn
preston that an early snubbing Of
this pernicious tendency is prob
able. Perhaps an immediate re-
action is to occur. They are wise
solons who cannot read the true
lesson of this election, The stat
istics give sound warning. How
ever Mr.. EllenbeCker was a genu-
inc conservative in one wholesome
particular Aside from the horse
shoeing incident, he introduced but
one other bill, which had to do with
matter so harmless as the open
season for rabbits; and such alb
stention is altogether commend
able. If the Ellenbeckers were
only in a majority we could have
a session of less than six weeks
duration. thus saving to taxpayers
we'll up toward a quarter million
dollars that six months of legisla-
ton are likely to entail.

Charles E. Hanson of River Fails
the eternal opponent of Edwards
in the assembly on all tax matters
year after year, was elected to stay
at home, that is, like Camper, he
tried for the senate and lost, thus
sacrificing the lower position
Thrice Mr. Hanson was elected
without opposition, thus showing
astonishing popularity; and how
tickle is fate as evidenced by the
primary decision denying him the
senatorship. He was defeated by
Walter Fl. Hunt, one of his very
own townsmen.
But Anton Holly of Kewaunee re.
mains, famous for his futile but
long-sustained effort to outlaw shoes
made of inferior leather and to re-
quire the labelling of wearing ap-
parel to disclose exactly its shod-
dy content. He set the arched
ceiling of the assembly chamber to
reverberating violently on many
an occasion by his stentOrian voci-
Iteration, and when he appeared as
an advocate at hearings, all doors
in the vicinity must needs be clos
ed that other committees might not
be overwhelmed by the distant
thunder. Also, Mr. Holly sponsor
ed a bill that required all retailers
to sell goods at the same price. His
quota of measures was somewhat
above the average in number. At
the very least, he kept so-called
lobbyists on the quiyive - or
should we not better call these gen
tlemen by the more dignified term
OF legislative agents? They are
a most useful element in uncover
ing points in bills, the coons
in the woodpile. 1t would be a
sorry and dangerous output of any
legislature that occurred in the alb
sence of their enlightening aid. Mr.
Holly is sincere, however, peculiar
others may regard his opinions.
Still if we are guaranteed pure
butter, why should we not be as
sured shoes without paper soles
and wooden goods sans shoddy-at
least if we are paying honest t.
goodness leather and all wool
prices?
