Gov. David I. Walsh of Massachusetts made a strong plea for liumanitarianism in government at the banquet, of the governors' confer ence in Hotel Pfister, Milwaukee. The executives met for three days in Madi-Ison and moved to Milwaukee for the final session. Governor Walsh paid a warm tribute to Wisconsin when he said he believed this state was doing more for its citi zens than any other state in the coun try.

He stated that he had received many ideas while on his visit which he would try to put into effect when he reached home. "There is a movement in the coun try which shows that the people are taking a keener and more thorough interest in government than ever be fore," said Governor Walsh. J-'Proud as I am of our work in Massachusetts, I want to say that Wisconsin is doing more than any other state in the Union for its citizens. The speaker gave high praise to the German-American as a good citizen. "I expected much of Wisconsin be cause its citizens are largely of the same descent as those of Massachu setts," he said.

"I know of no better citizen or one who brings more thrift and solidity to a community than the German-American." Gov. Francis E. McGovern of Wis consin, who acted as toastmaster, de fined the progressive movement. "I will give you my definition of the Wisconsin Idea," said Governor Mc Govern. "It Is not the eugenic law, the vice commission or any of the freak bills that have been passed by the legislature of this and other states.

Nor is it- the primary election law, the workman's compensation law or the railroad rate commission. If the Wisconsin idea were represented by any one statute, I could not expect to find a general agreement as to its mer its, because there are bound to be dif ferences of opinion on individual laws "There are two factors that go to make up the Wisconsin idea. They are method of legislation and logic of. government. "First, there must.be a careful in vestigation of ttfe subject that is to be covered by the law.

Take the work men's compensation act, for instance, This grew from our early labor bu reau. A great deal of investigation and study, Including the amount to be fixed for payment in many instances, was necessary, and it required experts to frame the regulations. "We have the railroad rate commis sion, the industrial commission and others to make these investigations. In addition we have our university and normal schools to aid us. In order to frame laws we must have men whose ability cannot be questioned.

The legislature cannot always be relied on. "So, by a careful application of sys tem, we have made laws in this state which are being copied far and wide. Individual laws may be the subject of argument, but the method is right." Thanksgiving Day Nov. 26. Governor McGovern issued the fol lowing proclamation designating Thursday, November 26, as Thanks giving day: "As autumn draws to a close it becomes increasingly evident that the people of Wisconsin have been especially favored this year by a gracious providence.

Never before was nature kinder. Sunshine and rain in proper succession and distribution assured abundant crops. Good health has blessed us. In sharp contrast to the cataclysm of war that now devastates all Europe, our people have been at peace among themselves and with the whole world. So we have ample cause for gratitude, and thanksgiving.

In grateful recognition of these blessings and in conformity with the proclamation of the president of the United States, Francis E. McGovern, governor of the state of Wisconsin, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November, nineteen hundred and fourteen, as Thanksgiving day, and I earnestly recommend that the people meet on that day in their accustomed places of worship and there offer thanks, with prayer and praise, to God who has so abundantly prospered ns and so lovingly cared for us throughout the year. But while we as a people have been so greatly favored, Legislative Session May Be Short. Evidence that the next session of the legislature will be short and that the work will be finished with, dispatch is found by political leaders in Madison in the fact that 26 of the 33 members of the senate have had previous legislative experience, and that 28 of the member of the house have served inr previous legislatures. Of the 33 members of the senate 16 were holdovers and of the 17 elected 10 have served in previous legislatures.

While the forces of destruction are being mobilized in ever-increasing strength in the warring countries of Europe, public private constructive agencies are at work on this side of the Atlantic, and resources of peace are being, concentrated to overcome the ill effects of the world war. All 1 information reaching governmental departments Indicates that the gloom and depression which overtook business enterprises in the United States when the war burst is slowly drawing aside, and glimpses of present and coming prosperity are visible. The hopeful outlook for American ventures was summarized by Secretary Redfield in a letter to the chamber of commerce of the United States. It was reflected also in a statement by Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department on imports and exports. Telegraphic statements received by Secretary McAdoo from the ten leading ports of entry showed that the import business last Saturday at ports handling 37 per cent of all imports amounted to exports from these ports, handling 72 per cent of all exports, amounted to $10,421,551.

The daily average for these ports in November, 1913, was: Imports, exports, $6,983,426. Mr. Redfield here wrote his view, already given, about "the worst that can be fiaid" of American conditions. "There is always room in a Country as large as ours, and with such various conditions as exist in its different portions," he continued, "for the pessimist to find some hook on which he can hang his mournful prophecies. "One need not react to the other extreme and exclaim that the special prosperity of one is an indication of equally good conditions everywhere.

"The truth lies between, but no observer of the large movements In our commerce today fails to recognize the great improvement that has been made in business conditions within the last few weeks and which is still progressing."

Anti-Tuberculosis Body to Report. The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberctiioisis association will in the near future is sue a report covering the work of the association in the last five years "The public does not realize the great results achieved in preventing the spread of tuberculosis," saiS Dr.

Hoyt E. Dearholt "The forthcoming report, which will have a circulation of 50,000 and will contain 100 pages, will have undisputable facts and valuable information concerning the asso ciation's work since it was organized. The death rate from tuberculosis in Milwaukee is lower than in any other city of 100,000 or more persons. This condition has been brought about partly through the work of associa tion. 1 "Besides containing statistics, the book will have articles instructing the public as to the best methods of pre venting tuberculosis and will give valuable instructions regarding other ailments.

The association does not confine its work to tuberculosis, but devotes much time to bettering the conditions of infant mortality. The hardest task in the associa tion's history," said Dr. Dearholt, "was to convince the public that tubercu losis can be avoided if the people educate themselves along this line. The biggest achievement was the es tablishment of the county institute at Wauwatosa, which will be ready for occupancy in eight months and which will accommodate 500 patients. It will be the finest and most complete in stitution of its kind in the United States."
