Bridges In Korea. Some idea of the delights of travel ing in Korea is given by the following description by a traveler of the “bridges’* in that country: A first class bridge in Korea is simply an assort ment of planks nailed together. These are scarce. A second class bridge is a series of isolated stones, from one to another of which the visitor may jump. A third class bridge, much the com monest variety, is invisible, its posi tion being indicated by a couple of posts, one <m each side of the river They mean that you may safely wade across, as the water will probably not go much above your chest. Creation of a Knight. The ceremonies at the creation of a knight have been various. The prin cipal were a box on the ear and a stroke with a sword on the shoulder. John of Salisbury tells ns the blow with the naked fist was in use among the ancient Normans. By this it was that William the Conqueror conferred the honor of knighthood on his son Henry. It was afterward changed into a blow with the fiat of the sword on the shoulder of the knight. Hard to Find Things. He—Where are my collars, dear?

DIRECT VOTE IS GIVENJ BLOW Wisconsin House Turns Down the Senate Bill. “WILL OF THE PEOPLE” HIT Closing Hours of the Long, Strenuous Session of the Legislature Are Full of Fun—State Uni versity Appropriation. Madison, Wis., July 4. —(Special) “The will of the people shall be the law of the land,” which has become the cry of the LaFollette progressive Republicans of this state since the now famous expression was made by Senator LaFollette, received a black eye in the assembly, when that house by a vote of 39 to 35 refused to con cur in the senate bill providing for the election of United States senator by direct vote. Speaker Ingram, a strong believer in the “will of the people,” led the way for the concurrence of the bill, but opposed to him were Assemblymen McConnell and Gettle, who are recog nized as two of the leading LaFollette Republicans of the lower house. Some time ago when the bill was under con sideration Mr. McConnell succeeded in having written into the measure a clause to the effect that a member of the legislature should retain the right to vote for a party nominee for United States senator instead of for the man receiving the largest number of votes, which, in effect, made a joke out of the “direct elec!ion” and “popular vote” idea. The bill had rough sail ing and finally reached a committee on conference composed of members of both houses. That conference struck out the McConnell amendment and re turned the bill in its original form providing for the election of United States senator by the direct vote of the people. Messrs. McConnell and Gettle frank ly admitted that as long as this is a government of political parties there must be party allegiance and party loyalty. Furthermore, they insisted that members of the legislature should not he denied the right to excercise independent judgment in voting for candidates for United States senator To all of this, Mr. Ingram replied that party allegiance is nothing com pared “the will of the people.” For a time it appeared as though Mr. In gram might turn the tide, but the op position proved too strong. 4* * * The closing hours of the long, stren uous session are noisy and full of fun. Members -of all parties have buried the hatchet and forgotten the tilts that have marked the session. They are all hoys. The assembly daily is turned into a riot of flying paper wads, calendar files and everything else that the members can get hold of. Another popular diversion is singing old-time songs. Assemblyman Rcessler, the popular Democrat, swinging his big calabash pipe as a baton, leads the singing. Even Speaker Ingram has thrown aside ail legislative dignity and joins in the fun by throwing pa per wads at the members. This week will mark the close of actual work, but the legislature will not adjourn sine die until sometime next week be cause the governor will have to be given several days in which to look over the many large and important matter now pending before him. 4* 4* *■> < The member of the Wisconsin legis lature who dares to stand up and op pose any appropriation for the state university promptly gets knocked down; at least, that is the view of Assemblyman Merlin Hull, who offer ed a shower of amendments to tlm uni versity appropriation bill only to see all of them cast aside. After hours of argument and heated debate the bill passed both houses, and the only change made was increasing the ap propriation for the university exten sion department from $87,500 to SIOO.- 000 for the first year and from SIOO.- 000 to $125,000 the second year This increases the total appropriation for the state university to $3 865,002. and the grand total appropriation for the university, state normal schools and the Wisconsin Mining Trade school $5,043,002. There has been a great fight on in I Wisconsin to ascertain the actual cos* per student at the university Presi dent. Van Hise has furnished consid erable information on this subject, but his information has been question ed by persons who claim to know what they are talking ah ut. When the university appropriation bill was up in the assembly the Hull amend ment increasing the tuition for non resident students at the university to i the actual cost of instruction was adopted. In the senate, however. th° amendment was non-concurred in, and when the bill came back the assembly receded from its position, which put an end to the Hull amendment Ha* 4 that amendment remained part of th* bill it would have brought out th c i actual cost of instruction per studen |in a manner which could not have ; been disputed. The university forces | however, are Thoroughly organized, as ! Assemblyman Hull has found out. and it is next to impossible to tamper with anything relating to the university The proposition to purchase the Olin and Raymer tracts of land tc the west of the university at a total ex penditure of *235,000 caused much de bate. It was charged that the Lnd was held at a price far and above any figure warranted upon the basis of the assessed valuation. Speaker Ingram and others argued that the legislature a few years hence will have to buy the land and then it will be held at a higher figure. He said r hat the legis lature must allow* for the future growth of the university, and take advantage as a good investment of any opportunity to buy land at a rea sonable figure. This prevision of the bill like all others, remained undis turbed 4* 4* 4 Te income tax bill and the corrupt practices act are now* in the hands of Governor McGovern. The income fax bill was passed in the face of a strong lobby which predicts that this law will do injury to the Republi can party than anything the progres sives have yet enacted. The bill fixes the exemption for single- men at SBOO and for married men at $1,200 4* * 4* The assembly passed a bill over the veto of Governor McGovern This is the first time this has been done not only this session but in many years The bill related to the compensation of teachers and persons employed for other positions in the Town of North Brandon. These persons were em ployed to keep the schools running in an emergency, and were forced to ap peal to the legislature for their com pensation. The governor vetoed the bill on the ground that Lie appoint ments were not legal, but the assem by passed the bill over the veto be cause it was pointed out that the gov ernor did not know all the facts, 4* 4* 4* The administration Republicans in the assembly got together and recall ed from the senate the bill which es pecially is designed to provide a special primary for the nomination of United States senatorial candidates in case of death, resignation or enforced retirement of an incumbent, adopted a substitute and sent it back to the senate for concurrence. The substi tute, which is said to have been con ceived by Assemblyman Thomas.l. Ma hon, adds a special primary for all legislative candidates in case of a vacancy, and retains the portion of the bill providing for the complete do ing away with caucuses and conven tions. 4* 4* 4> The forest slashing bill has been in definitely postponed. This was one of the pet measures of the conservation committee and the members of that committee are put out over the defeat of the bill in the legislature. The senate passed the bill, but the assem bly indefinitely postponed it. The bill placed it in the power of the forestry commission to order the burning of slashings when they considered such a move necessary. 4* *•> 4* The senate passed the Plowman bill authorizing counties to loan money to settlers for the purchase and develop ment of cutover lands. It is claimed this measure will be of great benefit to Northern Wisconsin. 4* 4* 4* The printing bill coming from the revisor of the statutes, and which re duces the cost of state printing by about $50,000 per year, was passed after six assembly amendments had been concurred in. FRED C. SHEASBY. FOND OF ELECTIONS. In Switzerland They Select Even Gravediggers by Ballot. According to Professor F. F. Roget of Geneva, the Swiss have the great est political intelligence in the world today. “Every citizen of a canton is a Swiss citizen.” says Professor Roget. “One must become a member of some local commune to become naturalized and in order to do so must be accepted by the local communal council. “Every male Swiss citizen is an elec tor from the age of twenty, there be ing no property qualification. Every Swiss is a soldier and every soldier an elector. The federal elector may vote wherever he may happen to be, guar antees being taken that he votes only once. “The cantons are the political units, and no elector may exercise political rights in more than one canton. On moving from one locality to another the Swiss must wait three months be fore be may exercise the franchise in his new neighborhood.” Professr Roget declares that "every collective authority in Switzerland Li elected “The foreigner,” he states, “is often surprised to see in a Swiss newspaper on a Monday the results of all kinds of elections on the Sunday. If be had gone into a polling booth on the Sun day he would have found in this cor ner a clerk at a desk, at which the elector would vote for the Local school master. “In another corner would be a d o, k at which he would vote for the judge, in another part of the sale room he would vote for the local grave digger. and so on through a whole series of officials, all of whom are pop ularly elected “The result of this training is that the political intelligence of the Swiss is extremely developed, and rhat he thoroughly understands what he is vot ing about at home in his native coun try. and that when he goes abroad he finds it very easy to understand •”'<! to take part in any political movements among which he may find himself- Exchange.

Henri Du Jardine Beaumetz remains under sec retary of fine arts, GRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Helen Rumbel, aged fourteen, beat en for neglecting a task, is dead in Gridley, Cal. Mrs. Emma Rumbel, her stepmother, and Arthur Lewis, her stepbrother, were held by a coroner’s jury to answer to the charge of mur der and have been rushed to the coun ty jail at Oroville for safety. The countryside is half-crazed with rage. Lewis and Mrs. Rumbel reported that the girl had committed suicide. An inquest instituted immediately de veloped that the girl’s body was a mass of bruises and that her face in death remained black from the chok ing she had received. Mrs. Ida Schiff of New York, who gave up her blood to save a dying wo man and to obtain money to bring her five children here from Russia, made her sacrifice in vain. Weakened by the loss cf blood, she fainted in the night on the fire escape balcony at her home and fell eighty feet to a court pavement. She died an hour later. Thadeus Kcrniak, 1328 West Huron street, Chicago, .was waylaid by three assassins while on his way home and fatally stabbed, seventeen wounds be ing inflicted, before the eyes of his wife, who, speechless with fright and horror was powerless to interfere. The murder was the sequel of a quarrel which started at a dance. Frank Snow, twenty-six, was instant ly killed, and Ralph Stewart, about eighteen years old, w r as seriously hurt on a trestle of the Indianapolis South ern railroad near Ftancis station. The two young men were on the trestle as a through freight went over it. Snow was struck and Stewart was shaken off Three men were killed, almost in stantly, when a flyw r heel in the drying room at the big Sault Ste. Marie, Out., coke ovens exploded. The dead are: Walter Albrough, thirty-three, fore man; Nicholas Miller, twenty-eight, laborer; Angelo D’Angielo, thirty eight, a laborer. Fred Noveshelsky, a salesman for the Seipp Brewing company in Chi cago, shot and killed himself at his home, 5716 Prairie avenue, early in the day. He was thirty-one years o.d. The widow said that Noveshelsky was despondent because he had lost mon ey gambling. The police and coroner at Port Hu ron, Mich., are puzzled by the finding of the body of a man between thirty-five and forty years of age at the foot of Thomas street, in St. Clair river.
