MILWAUKEE has made mistake in re,
moving DR.. kempster, just as Mayor
Koch made mistake in his appointment.
The mistake IN his removal lies in the
fact that II appears to be victory of the
lawless element who chafe at retraIpt,
and not the punishment of E negligent
official or the dismissal of an inefficient
one.
There is a feeling IN all communities

Is a reflection on home people. Kempster
was not sufficiently identified with the
interests of Milwaukee at the time of his
appointment, TO make 1t an expedient or
a proper one. He is too autocratlc in his
methods and altogether too regardless of
conditions TO ever prove a success IN deal
Ing with the common people. A less able
man than he would have made a far bet.
ter commissioner. But his dismissal Will
make il difficult for succeeding health
commissioners 10 perform their duties as
1t appears the mob is on top. That is
the impression which has been given Inv
the result Of this trial.

the republican members of the leglsla-

an extension of the school year from SIX

Dr.. Root vas the author OF some of the
most popular airs and songs written
within the last forty years. They are
simple melodies, but their quality is
such as 20 give them more lasting favor
than falls 10 the popular songs Of to-
day It has become a familiar quota
ton that if man were permitted to
make all the ballads, he need not care
who should make the laws of nation.
Roots songs were simple, pathetic and
soul feeding. They did much towards
keeping alive the patriotic spirit and
thus helped conquer the Rebellion.
They were not only appropriate upon
the march. but were equally fitting To be
sung at the sunday gathering, in the
school room and the home. Their in

With the finding of Mrs. Gardner, the
delegate from Nebraska who went to
the c. f. Convention and suddenly dis
another mystery is cleared
up. sad as insanity is, it is a relief to
find that there was no crime in connee-
ton with this disappearance. Mrs.
Gardner has returned tn her home and
is under the care Of a physician for the
malady which caused her friends and
herself SO much trouble.
A London jury that tried two youth
full criminals who were melted 10 the
perpetrating OF the crime of matricide
by the books they had read, wisely add
ded rider to their verdict urging that
the sale of inhammatory literature be
stopped. The writer's of bad literature
have many crimes TO answer for. Many
marred character and spoiled life is
directly due to the influence of THEN
writings which poison the mind and
heart at the age when they are most i'm
questionable. While the results may
not often be as shocking as in the case
of the two London boys, the effects are
always evil.
