Cne of the chief perquisites of

cially during these days when

AIS NJ street northeast and the
owner, Sam Claggett, colored, is
looking for some other occupa-
ton.
The explosion occurred at 9
O'Clock. doing no damage to the
fine twenty-gallon copper still,
but set fire to the first floor front

AS the firemen went into the
house, Mr.. Claggett went out and

He left two small children in COM

Noise That Annoys Not.

From London Answers.
Liege is, at this time of the year,
the center of a sport. which has no
followers elsewhere.
Attending cock-crowing competi-
tions is one of the ways in which the
Belgian artisan spends part of his
leisure. Special roosters are bred for
these contests, and that which out
crows his fellows is adjudged the
winner.
The roosters are placed in cages,
each of which is set an inch or so
from it's neighbors. This proximity,
it seems, produces that spirit of RI
valry without which the affair would
fall fiat.
A marker is appointed for each
bird, his job being to note the num-
Der of crows made. AS a rule the
match lasts an hour.

years on a farm. My education
was obtained in this state. My
service of eight years in the state

of our working people in
the industries of my section, have

cost of the highways which they
use so freely. 1t would be only
right to require them to do so
/ believe it unjust to place the en-
tire financial burden of highway
construction and maintenance up
on practically all our taxpayers
whether users of automobiles or
nonusers, when the revenue from
tax on gasoline will distribute a
part of that burden upon the users
of the highways, whether resi-
dents of Wisconsin or not, in pro-
portion to the use which they
make of them. From the stand
point of fairness and equity no
fairer tax could be proposed.
9Th. In my discussion of prev
ious paragraphs of your call | have
already referred to the issue pre-
sented in paragraph six. | am in
favor of a continuation of all pro-
gressive state activities which have
proven themselves sound and ben
eficial to the people, and the elm
.inatlon, on the other hand, of such
activities as should be purely local,
or such as experience has demon
strated to be unwise, unsound and
expensive to the state and it's peo-
pie.
7th. / am also in favor of the
fair and fearless administration of
all our laws. Our government is
a government of law and order.
Respect for law and orderly gov
eminent requires the enforcement
of all laws. Unpopular laws not
supported by public sentiment
should be repealed, and not ignor-
ed. Too many useless and unrea-
sonable laws today are upon our
statute books. These should. be
repealed, and except where abso-
lutely necessary new laws should
not be added to the already ex-
cessive number which we now
have.
There are other issues of import
ance to the people of our state
which might profitably be discus
sed at this time, but | reserve such
for future occasions.
Believing that am in harmony
with the views and wishes of the
men who have signed the call adj
dressed to me and of the thou
sands of their constituents in Wis
consin whom they represent, l
hereby accept your call, and in
response to the same announce my
self as a candidate for governor
of Wisconsin on the Republican
ticket in the coming September
primaries.
