CONGRESSMAN COOKERS support is
confined to two POpuhst papers which
pirate of the great things the Congress-
man has done for his district. 1t
would be doing the Congressman only
Justice and serve as an enlightenment
to the people of the district if these
papers would replace several columns
of boiler plate with an enumeration of
the legislation benefting this district
that Mr.. Cooper has secured. Facts
talks, let us have the list.-Racine
Journal.
The Journal is very much mistaken
about Congressman Cooper's support.
Tt is by no means limited to two Popu-
list papers. If the NEWS is included in
that statement it is the first time on
record that the News has been put in
the category with POpulist papers.
However, if Editor Starbuck is deter
mined thus to class all who support the
candidacy of Hal Cooper, then the
NEWS must plead guilty to the charge
and submit to being dubbed Populist
by It's Racine contemporary, at least
until the election is past and Mr..
Cooper is returned to the position
which he has so long and so ably filled.
But, nevertheless, the Journal errs
badly in this matter. If not already
convinced Of this the editor should visit
Kenosha city and county. His doubts
would be quickly dispelled. With
scarcely any exception the voters OF
this section, both Democrat and Re-
publican, are loud in their praises of
the Congressman and positive in their
demand for his re- election.
Concerning the Journals suggestion
for facts proving the wisdom of Con
gresham Cooper's official enactments
there are many which could be easily
sighted and probably could be founC
in the editorial columns of the
Journal itself previous to the
Racine post Office episode. In
deed, in reply TO the journal
one might mention as a case il
point, which brought unquestioned
satisfaction to a large portion of the
district dwelling in Racine city and
county, the appointment of j. |. Case
to the Belle city postmastership. But
aside from this there are numerous in
stances during Mr.. Cooper's career in
Washington, which show on his part
the most careful and conscientious
devotion to the people he represented
These have not been forgotten and viii
be potent factor in the coming cleo
ton.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
Fire Department Run to Box 1872 Instead
of Box Al.

About IL o'clock this morning gas
oline stove exploded in the residence Of
a man named Muhlhagen on Orange
street and the Forth side fremen sent
in an alarm calling the department to
box Al, which is situated at the north
side engine house. But somebody
Numbered and when the alarm reached
the Central engine house the indicator
showed 122. This was the Kemper
Hall number and in a few moments
the report that Kemper Hall was on
fire called a large crowd from every
direction. The streets leading to the
grounds were simply mass of bicycles
and bicycle riders and the fire engines
and hose wagons could scarcely make
their way through the moving wheels.
Of course the alarm was false, but the
crowds didn't know it and hurried into
the grounds to assist in putting out the
fire. The fire was of no significance
and the loss will probably be $40. 1t
was extinguished without the assist
ance of the city iremen.

Beautiful Fixtures,

The Val Blatz saloon, which is being
fitted up at the corner of Main and
Market streets, is being furnished in a
very beautiful manner. The work is

from quartered oak and are of new

Quaker city once the Greatest Town
on the Continent.
In 177l Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti-
mates of the population, which are all
we have, difGer widely, but it was prob
ably not far from 10000. A single city
now has a larger population than all
the colonies possessed in IVA, and
there are in the United States to-day
1Of cities and towns of over 10000 in
habitants. Figures alone, however,
however, cannot express the difference
between those days and our own. Now
town of 10000 people is reached by
railroads and telegraphs. It is in close
touch with all the rest of the world.
Business brings strangers TO it con-
stantly, who come like shadows and so
depart, unnoticed except by those with
whom they are Immediately concerned.
It was not so in IVA, not even in Phila-
delphia. which was as nearly as posi-
BILE the central point of the colonies,
as we'll as the most populous city
Thanks to the energy and genius Of
Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light
ed, and ordered in q way almost un-
known in any other town of that period.
II was well built and thriving. business
was active and the people were thrifty
and prosperous, and lived well. Yet,
despite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the imagination to
realize how quietly and slowly life
moved then in comparison TO the pace
of to-day. There in Philadelphia was
the center of the postal system of the
continent, and the recently established
mail coach called the Flying machine, -
not in Jest, but in praise, performed the
tourney 10 New York in the hitherto
unequaled time of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of the
coastwise traffic, or from beyond the
seas, came into port at uncertain times,
and after long and still more uncertain
voyages. The daily round of life was
SO regular and so quiet that any Incl.

DIED AT HIS POST.
Reporter who WAS Faithful in
His Work.

Matthew Donzelot is still remembered
in Paris as one of the most faithful and
courageous men who ever served a paper
as a reporter. His last assignment and
what came of it is told by NJ Trimm in
the Petit Journal.
One day riot was apprehended, and
Donzelot was sent to the Pantheon to
report the events in that quarter. AL
ready the stones were flying, and the
lawless mob had begun to tear up the
streets and baricade them.
One of Donzelot's friends saw him as
he was running by, and said to him:
What are you doing here? Run and
save YOURSELF"
Donzelot made no reply, and again his
friend urged him to leave so dangerous
a spot
Il am not going to move" he said;
but as you are going. kindly take this
copy along with you to the paper; you
will save me time"
An hour passed, and the disorder was
at its height. The mob had already be-
gun to clash seriously with the authori-
ties. Suddenly the garSe rationale fired
volley, and Donzelot fell, his breast
pierced by bullet. a surgeon rushed
up to him.
You are hurt?" he asked
eyes," replied Donzelot, seriously, 1
think; | cannot use my pencil"
Never mind your pencil" returned
the surgeon, sharply. The question is
to save your life"
Don't be in hurry" returned Don
zclot, quietly. "To each man his own
duty. Mine is to get the story, and you
must help me. Here, write at the foot
of this page this postscript: 1920 p. IN.
At the fire of the troops three men fell
wounded. and one was killed."
"Why, which one is killed ?" asked the
doctor.
II am" replied the reporter; and he
fell back dcad.-Youth's Companion.

Novel Form of Insurance.

\ new form of accident insurance
policy, guaranteeing the holder
against the consequences of the dam
age he may inflict upon others, is being
issued in Paris. Partisan drivers are
notoriously reckless, and they look
upon this method of protecting them
selves at small cost as good thing.
The scheme robs the running down of
pedestrians on the streets of half its
terrors for the cabbies and other driv-
ers, but doubles the danger for the un-
fortunate pedestrian. This may ac-
count in part for the news that Paris
pedestrians have threatened to arm
themselves with revolvers as protec-
tion against the operators of the auto
mobile vchicles.-Chicago Chronicle.

OF all the gloomy features of that
gloomy afternoon, tbs obvious anxiety
on the part of Long John appeared the
worst.

hes as anxious as you and | to smother

'em out of it if he had the chance. and
what l propose to do is to give him the
chance. Let's allow the men an after
noon ashore. If they all go, why, Wen
fight the ship. If they none of them
go, we'll, then, we hold the cabin, and
God defend the right. If some go, you
mark my words, sir, Silver'll bring 'em
aboard again as mild as lambs"
1t was so decided; loaded pistols
were served out to all the sure men;
Hunter, Joyce and Redruth were taken
into our confidence, and received the
news with less surprise and better
spirit than we had looked for, and then
the captain went on deck and addressed
the crew.
'My lads" said he, "we've had a hot
day, and are all tired and out of sorts.
A turn ashorell hurt nobody-the
boats are still in the water; you can
take the gigs, and as many as please
can go ashore for the afternoon. I'll
fire a gun half an hour before sun
down"
l believe the silly fellows must have
thought they would break their shins
over the treasure as soon as they were
landed; for they all came out of their
sulks in a moment. and gave a cheer
that started the echo in a far-way hill.
and sent the birds once more flying and
squalling round the anchorage.
