There are too many doctors. he thought and ascribed the oversupply to the ex- cess of medical colleges. About 2,j00 medical graduates a year are enough, he considered. to supply the country. but we are getting 10000 or 12,OOO. He would have the medical schools re- duced to twenty-five or thirty. Possi- bly that would be expedient if it were practicable, for anything less than 1rst-rate medical school is of doubtful value. and to be first rate a medical school must have abundant resources

that his institution has no place for
cigarette smokers, and that the young

AT the coming session of Congress a
proviso for the re-estab1ishment of the
canteen will be attached to the army
appropriation bill. It is understood
that this is to be done at the recon-
mendation of the army officers them
selves, who assert that the thousands
of low class saloons which have sprung
up around the reservations since the
cAnteens were abolished two years ago
have seriously affected the discipline
of the army. The anti-canteen law
has been given fair trial in the past
two years and army officers of all
ranks are practically unit in favor of
its repeal and the restoration of the
post canteens. They should be the
best judges of any law which affects
the men in the ranks, and their recon-
mendations should have weight with
Congress.

Bur this paper has always chal-
lenged and will ever challenge the
disposition of organized labor, often
manifested, to deny to others equal
rights and privileges with its own fol-
lowers. Let the work of organization
by the proper methods continue, if
need be, until every wage Garner in
the land is SO included, but until then
every outsider must be free to work
when, for whom, and on what terms he
will, as every employer must have the
corresponding freedom. Any inter
ference from whatsoever source with
the exercise of these rights must be
crushed, even if the whole power of
government is thus needed, or the

Editors of Wilmot Agitator Purchase she
Plant Of tht Genoa junction Times.
The governor is to have new crgan
in Kenosha county as it's announced
that Swenson Bros, Of Wilmot. the
proprietors Of the W,lmot Aqitator.
have purchased the plant Of the Genoa
Junction Times. Editor Dixon, Of the
Times, will retire and the Swenson
boys will issue two papers in the fu-
ture.
The Swenson boys have been the
firmest supporters of the Governor in
this section of the state and it is
thought that the governors friends
are behind the purchase of the Genoa
paper. Genoa and the surrounding
territory is hot.bed of revolt against
the tenets Of the governor and for this
reason It is thought that the friends of
the governor will seek some support
for him by putting paper among the
people Of the neig hborhood.
Editor Swenson has taken a big lob
on his hands when he attempts to con-
vert the Stalwart leaders in Randall.
The Times has been established for
several years and has good circula-
tion among the farmers in the neigh.
borhood of Genoa. The News extends
the best wishes to the young editors in
their effort to branch out in business.

ALL that the State Board Of Barber
examiners has had time to do so far is
to take III the license money and issue
set of rules for the guidance of the
BARRIERS. The BARRIERS are still in
doubt as to whether the board means
business or not. Several violations Of
the new rules have been reported,
however, and the actions of the board
in these cases will be watched with in
terest all over the state. The success
or failure of the BARRIERS license law
in Wisconsin will depend very largely
upon the way the first cases of viola
tions are handled.

commissioner. That official certainly
has authority under the statutes to re-

been for years issuing fraudulent SAC

every provision of the laws governing
insurance in the state and under which

out of ten to accept the statements OF

rather takes it for granted that if the

comes to recover he inds that his con
tract is worthless. 1t is from this kline
of an imposition that the insurance
commissioner is supposed to protect the
public and if he succeeds in stopping
the issue of this class of insurance

Clubs in All Parts of the State Preparing
For Annual Meeting.
Among the women's clubs Of the
state interest has begun to center act
lively in the convention of the state
federation, which meets in Appleton
on Oct. 20, q and %, two weeks dis
tant. October is the general rallying
month for study clubs, the women re
turning to club work with renewed in
terest after the summer vacation.
Peace and harmony, it is hoped and
expected, are to be the keynotes of the
convention. There are no dangerous
topics on the program and no hair
splitting discussions are scheduled to
take place. There will be no exciting
contentious over the election of state
president, as it is unanimously con-
ceded that Mrs. Thomas H. Brown vii.
be continued in Office and that the
election will be matter of form.
NewsDistricts Planned.
Probably the most important ques-
ton to be decided by the state fedora
ton is the proposed amendment to the
constitution, providing for the redis-
trictiDg Of the state. The new plan
to divide the state into club districts,
disregarding the lines drawn by po1it-
ical parties, and making club map
of the state, based on the best interests
of the several clubs, was prepared by
Miss Lutte E. Stearns, railroad acces-
sibility being the main object IN the
drawing of the new lines. Heretofore
the club interests have been the same
as the congressional districts.
During the last year an advanced
step has been taken by the Organization
of one district federation. The clubs
of each district are under the super
vision of a state vice president, but
prior to this year there has been no
form of organization in the districts.
It remains for the club women of the
First district to lead the way in this
movement, and last fall they organized
the first and so far the only district
federation in the state. Mrs. A. E.
Tanburg, of GAINESVILLE, the state vice
president, was elected president of the
district federation, and a district fed
GRAFTON convention was subsequently
held at Whitewater.
First District First
District organization is enthusiastic-
ally favored by the leading Club wo-
men of the State. It's chief value is
that it brings the federation work and
advantages close to the small clubs
that cannot afford to send delegates to
the State Conventions. Through its
agency all the clubs in the district are
brought into closer touch with the
State Federation, to which the District
Federation belongs. Many club wo.
men believe that the life of federation
work in the future will largely center
in the District Federations.
Among the individual clubs which
have joined the State Federation dur
ing the year are the Woman's club of
Bayfield,, the Samagundi club of
Bloomington, the Entire Nous club of
Grand Rapids, the Library club of
Morrisonville, the Ladies Travel club
of Marsh6eld, the Neighborly club Of
Waupun, the Woman's club of Oconto,
and the Milwaukee Wednesday Kali
mia club.
There are three city declarations in
the State-at Beloit, Rich1and Center
and Whitewater.

Other Indignities to Gen. Miles.

II the Devil stands by Rooscyelt's
elbow impelling him to do acts that
can but rebound to his own discredit,
he could not adopt more ways to alien
ate the feeling which goes out with
spontanicty to the head of the nation
upon reasonably sensible discharge
OF the duties and amenities Of life.
The retiracy of Gen. Miles presented
an occasion on which Roosevelt might
have allayed much censure and oppo.
sitlon aroused by bis course towards
the General Of the Army from the
time he set his head upon becoming
his own successor to this last act. In
stead OF accepting the lucky chance,
which even Secretary Root recognized,
and signing the letter which admitted
meritorious service and commented
upon the bright example that had been
set for every soldier and the army in
~ hNiai, iiS Us USUAL dCltu
Root took the letter to Oyster Bay,
the Presidents political headquarters,
and submitted it to him. Without a
word, Roosevelt tore the letter into
shreds and dictated retiring order of
the most formal style; he then Or
dered that Gen. Young be appointed
to the command of the army for the
six days which Congress designed as
an interregnum in honor of the r.tir.
ing officer. 1t was because Congress
did not want Gen. Miles to be deprived
OF the honor OF having been the last
commander OF the U. S. army that the
staff law was made operative a week
after the Generals retirement, and the
object Of the Lawmakers was deliber.
ately frustrated by our impetuous and
vengeful President. Another snub
was in Gen. Young assuming command
at 10 o'clock, when the time of retir.
acy had been officially announced at
II noon, and notwithstanding the law
provides that there shall never be
more than one officer of that rank on |
the active list, when Young called
to pay his respects to Gen. Miles, be-
fore that hour, he wore the three stars
OF Lieutenant-General. It is hardly
safe to assume that these snubs and
insults were unprecedented and I'M
intended, or to attempt to excuse the
President on the ground that army
regulations prohibited eulogixing the
conduct of living officers in general
orders. This is q convenient subter-
fuge, to check the many protests
against the cold and formal order, but
it will be noted that there is nothing
in the ruling cited to prevent the Sec.
rotary of War, or the President, from
sending Gen. Miles complimentary
letter like that submitted by Secretary
Root.
