DR.. Wingate's Warning

With the approach of cold weather
the real fly season commences. DR.
Wingate issues a timely warning to
keep the flies out of houses and es-
pecially out of food and drink as they
are the agencies through which disease
is spread The Milwaukee Sentinel re-
calls the cases of the Spanish American
war where lime was found in nearly all
food, having been carried there by flies
that had visited the typhoid camps.
Flies travel long distances and alight
on everything. The peculiar fuzzy
construction Of their feet enable bac cili
to cling to them to be deposited on
some other resting place.
Keep the flies out of the house and
save doctor bills

LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION
The Day Given to the LabOrer is
Observed in Fitting Man.
ner At ManitOWOC
SIX HUNDRED LABORERS IN LINE
The Day is Celebrated Throughout Our
Entire COuntry-RaiseS the Standard
of the LabOrer

Monday was the day set aside by the
governor as a holiday for the laboring
man and from coast to coast it was fit
tingly observed. Here in Manitowoc also
due respect was paid to the day and it
was observed as a holiday by nearly all.
Even with the carnival in town all stores
closed at noon while the factories gave
the entire day to their employees. A
monster parade and picnic had been ar
ranged by the federation Of labor and
in spite Of the threatening clouds and
muddy streets the laborers from the
different unions assembled and m arched
900 strong through the streets OF the city
and out to Silver Creek Park where a
picnic had been arranged. While the
parade was not as large as in former
years yet it was composed of we'll con-
Quoted men that tended to raise the
laborer in the eyes of all that saw it.
When this country was founded and
for long time after all the people were
free and equal, they all stood on an
equal footing and were happy because
all were poor alike. But hardly did u
few get little more of the worldly goods
when the class distinc ion began to be
felt the same rs in the country they had
left, until at present it is much worse
here than in any country. In other
lands where different classes are recog-
nzed, while wealth generally accom-
panies certain classes it does not make
them other qualities are also required,
but here in our land wealth at present
is the sole object, everyone struggles for
it and the possessor whether he &C
quired it honestly or not, is looked upon
rs gentleman, before whom all must
bow.
The organizing of labor tends to put
it back in its original position and by
causing them to respect themselves
elevates the laborer and causes him to
get the respect of Others.
Without labor our country could not
exist and an honest, upright laboring
class are the guarantee of our liberties.
All throughout the country at the
labor meetings the great orators lauded
the laborer, the president, addressing a
large crowd at Syracuse and our COVER
nor at Beloit. Through some mistake
the arrangement committee did not SO
cure speaker to deliver an address at
the park and as result the attendance
was small The presence of the
carnival and the threatening condition
of the weather also tended to decrease
the crowd, for it certainly was much
smaller than former years. The day
was spent with games and dancing, the
music being furnished by the City
Band. The receipts were smaller than
last year amounting to $204,00 and so
instead of putting $4,000 into the
treasury, the celebration will show
deficit of about $4,000. In line were
the carpenters, longshoresmen, cigar
makers, tailors, printers, brewers, malt
sters, brickmakers, machinists and
mOuNers

Every inquiry at the Stats Depart
ment with regard to the European
squadron, which the President ordered
to Beirut when the cannard that vice
counsul Magelssen had been murdered
was received appears to cause embar-
rassment and it is plainly seen that the
officials think that the president acted
precipitately and illadvisedly in the
matter and that he has placed the Unit
ed States in a ridiculous position. The
latest advices are to the effect that Ma
gelssen was not fired at but that some
drunken Turk, celebrating a marriage,
fired pistol in the all in the Vice Con-
sul's vicinity. 1t is also reported that
several arrests hava hsap mude aa a. re-
suit of this disorderly conduct 1t is
feared that the presence OF an American
fleet will have no effect but to make
trouble where none now exists.

difference to them and their represeh-

There is little danger that the king
of England will become a despot, but
there is imminent peril for Balfour and
his associates in the fact that the
monarch stands closer to the people
than his ministers do. The attitude of
Edward is of the highest Importance
to the world, for if he insists on re-
naming the great factor in British
politics he will presently be a tremen-
dous power in world politics. A Brit

LAWS OF HAWAII
ARE FOUND DEFECTIVE
Those of the Monarchy and Republic
Do Not Gibe With Constitution.

HONOLULU, Sept. 24.-Judge C. D.
Gear, of the First circuit of the terri
tory in a decision rendered by him in
the case of a Chinese accused of SELL
ing opium illicitly, holds that the ter
ritorial criminal laws are defective in
that the most trivial offenses, includ-
ing drunkenness, are legally classified
with infamous crimes, which require
an indictment by a grand jury in ter
ritories under the federal constitution.
Judge Robinson concurs with Judge
Gear in his decision.
The decision places the police in
serious dilemma, inasmuch as they
cannot enforce the most important po-
lice regulations without the aid of the
grand jury. The imperfections of the
criminal laws of the territory are said
to be due to the failure of territorial
legislatures to make the statutes of
the monarchy and republic of Hawaii
conform to the United States constitu-
ton. The advisability of holding an
extra session for the purpose of curing
defects in the laws is being discussed.
The home rulers held their first coun-
ty convention today. Robert w. Will

not to fuse with the Democrats on any

MORE THAN KING.

Edward of England is disposed to be
more than king, he has taken I'D the
reIns of government actually and is
practically at the head of his own en-
pire. He has declined to permit the
premier of England to fill the vacant
places in the cabinet until he has been
shown that the men selected are to
his liking. The condition created by
the king is unique in modern Brit
ain
For sixty years the British empire
has been administered by the prime
minister. The gradual encroachment
of the premier on the prerogatives Of
the crown was not checked during the
life of the late queen. Victoria had some
very positive prejudices but they were
directed against individuals rather
than against policies and she never in
terfered with her ministers to the ex-
tent of excluding their selections from
the cabinet. She was known to have
been violently opposed, personally to
some of the men she called to the
premiership, there was more than one
Of her ministers whose personal pres
ence she could not tolerate, but she
was dominated by the men who sur
rounded her. In her later years her
royal prerogative had become a dead
letter and the English people had come
to look upon the crown as the mere
symbol of a government that lay in
themselves.
Edward IS not inclined to be pocket
ed by the men who are actively direct
ing his government. He is really a
shrewd politician himself, though he is
not devoted to either party. He was
kept in leading strings SO long that he
inclined to taste to the full the power
that was his ancestors. He is likely to
be supported in this because of his
great personal popularity and the an
tageRistic attitude of the great mass
of the voters to the men who stand at
the head of the government
For it is not doubted that Balfour is
Gisliked of the masses. His cynical in

Birth Rate More Than Doubles.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-There is
CONSERVATION among the members of
the board of education over the as
sertion in a report Of Commissioner of
Education Haupt, for the Sixth school
district, that the average rate in In
crease of the number of babies in Man
haitian has grown from five to eleven
an hour, or one baby about every five
minutes. These figures were furnished
by Dr.. Haupt as the result Of an in
vestigation which the board of educa-
ton is carrying ON to find out what
preparation it must make to provide
room which the babies of the present
will need as the pupils of a few years
hence. DR.. Haupt states that he also
finds that the death rate for children
is falling from ene-third to one tenth.
owing to measures for protecting be-
bies from impure milk and unsanitary
arrangements. He believes that in the
main the increase is caused by the
tremendous immigration to New York
city.

was the best type of the American sol
der, for he was never known to wait
in the ante-room of politician and no
sugges ton of cupidity ever followed
him in the high places where he COM
manded. And now. when he has reach
ed that time of life wnen many men
begin to look for and not avoid the
rust. he announces that he is going out
to do business.
That is the sort of spirit that Gen.
Miles might be expected to show. He
was so different as man and soldier to
the time-serving crowd that set them
selves in opposition to him that moth
ing else could be expected than that he
would refuse to, lay down his arms
when he put away his sword. He will
make the fight for business success
that he made in the South forty years
ago and in the West when it was his
affair to keep open the way of the pio
neer.
Here's hoping that he will find the
oil to prevent the rust and that the
wearing out process will be indefinitely
delayed
