FOE over five months the Wisconsin legislature has been in session. Political jealousies have been batted about like ping-pong balls and legislators, have maneuvered for political advantage or to register political spite. Unselfishness and a devotion to patriotic and public service have too little of the time marked the deliberations and the labors of the two legislative chant bers.

Good bills have been killed and good resolutions stifled be cause, perchance, a political opponent was jealous of giving the legis later who introduced it the credit for having created a just law. The record of the session is crowded with petty jealousies and selfish Iiess. Big, broad, constructive and patriotic measures have often found that they were not considered upon their merits but upon the political advantage they might bring to certain persons or factions, laid opposing factions chose to kill good legislation rather than give their opponents credit for doing good things. The number of bills killed in a session is no criterion cf the efficiency, wisdom or patriotism of the members of the legislature. But the kind of bills killed or deferred is a criterion.

About 1,239 Tot some time this eminent engineer has been at worn studying the Lake Monona nuisance. Some tell us that it is the result of a natural vegetable growth, and others tell us that it is the result of deposits in the lake whioh do not naturally belong there. At least everybody agrees that at times it develops into an unbearable stenoh. We have had a lot of discussion in the past as well as a lot of bad smell over Lake Monona. Madison would like to be relieved of both the protracted argument and the bad smell There is every reason to believe that if anybody can diagnose the case John W.

Alvord can. The city will wait with-interest for his report, and the people will have confidence in his report. We will probably get relief if the city will only go thru with his recommendations, not garble them as was done before. TO MARKET The city market opens This is something like six weeks earlier than last year, but" none too soon. Under the management of a committee of women and with such leaders as Mrs.

A. O. Fox and Mrs. George Fisk, the market will be open each Wednesday and Saturday following, at 7 o'clock in the morning remaining open until the farmers are sold out. This market deserves the patronage of Madison people.

It furthers home economy and brings the farmers into the city. The farmer coming to town with produce which he converts into money receives cash which he himself converts into sacks of coffee and sugar, calico and cambric, shirts, hats and shoes. The marketing idea which the war problems brought into life again, ought not to fade in time of peace. The business mathematics of the market more than compensate the country folk and the town folk, the producer and the consumer. Wednesdays and Saturdays hereafter are market dayB.

lolls have been introduced in this session of which 405 are now laws Approximately $15,000,000 has passed in appropriation bills, out of a total of about $21,000,000 to be appropriated for the bienruum.

It passed a bill referring the question of woman suffrage to a ttferendum vote of the people at the general election in 1920. It passed a bill providing for the recall of state appointive offi cers thru legislative action which Governor Philipp vetoed.
