Some of our contemporaries are wonder ing why so much silence in connection with the postoffice investigations. If we might hazard a guess, We should say that there is fear of creating a pestilence by uncovering so much rottenness while the weather is so hot.

The York Pa.) Dispatch. fires string of absurd questions at The Advertiser and winds up with telling us what we should know, like this:
 The Advertiser should know that Re- publican administration is a busin(s ad- Tninistration, and 1t also should know that Theodore Roosevelt will be elected President of the United States.
 We not only should know the first. but we do know it. esteemed stick-in-the- mud. It is business aii :he way through, as recent developments in Washington amply prove. and the postoffice scandals furnish one of the many examples of that Party's business methods. Perhaps. too, we should know that Roosevelt will be elected, but not having the gift of second sight, we must confess our ignor- ance. As The Dispatch evidently knows 1t, we see little use of any further con- troversy on that point. But does that paper really know 1t?

IT WORRIES THEM.

Some of the Vermont newspapers are considerably worried over the recent ex- posture of that States narrow suffrage regulations. Their real worry, though they try to hide it, lies partly in the fact that hey can neither explain away nor deny that a voter in Vermont Is to all intents and purposes at the merey of the town registration boards, and partly because, as The Chattanooga Times Aayf, they do not find anything wrong with the Vermont law, their only lament seem ing to come from a realization of the fact that they will hereafter be somewhat em- barrassed in hurlng anathemas at the Southern election laws. In other words, they find themselves in the attitude of the proverbial individual who endangers his own safety by throwing stones during the period of his own occupancy of glass house."
 It is a very embarrassing position for some of those newspapers. After almost bankrupting their powers of speech In denunciation of certain suffrage resula- tions and restrictions in the South. they find Themselves brought up with sudden jerk by having it made known to the world that in Vermont, at least the suf- frage regulations are more unjust and antolerant than they are in Alabama or any other Southern State. If 1t should be claimed that the vote is not restricted, we have only to point to the fact that in the election of 1896 the vote cast was A trifie over half the number of men. of voting age, in 1898 it was less than half, and in 1900 1t was just a little less than 60 per cent. If this short vote is not due to the restrictions placed on the suffrage, what is the cause of it7 Has Vermont any reason for making faces at us?

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-26

Brooms, those indispensable domestic
articles, are strangely and wonderfully
made. To the housewife, however. who
daily Yields this weapon in her peren-
NAL battle with that enemy dirt. the
broom seems most commonplace I'M
plement To her it possesses no inter-
est, intrinsically, and she knows little
of how it is made, nor does she care.
But there are hundreds of people,
young and old, engaged in the manu-
facture of brooms. Even in st. Paul
there are quite a number of people
working in the various broom factories.
Men and boys are the employees of
these factories
These factories are interesting places,
where one can see how the raw prod
uctS of nature are combined by hand
and machinery to form serviceable i'm
plements. Like all industries, the OPP
Grafton of the buzzing machines and
the busting of the workers in a broom
factory furnish an interesting study to
an observer.
On entering broom factory one first
sees the store room, where huge bales
of broom corn are waiting to be torn
UP and used in the factory. These
bales come from the great corn belt,
where the fields stretch out over vast
areas. The growing corn, with its big
tassels. which become brittle in the hot
sun, is a beautiful sight. After the
corn is harvested, the farmer sends
forth his men to reap the second har-
vest. and he derives splendid suppIe-
mentary income from the sale of the
whisps
When bale is opened in the fac
tory the whisps are assorted by boys,
who bind them in punches. Each
whisp has stock. and the individual
strands composing the bush are about
sixteen inches in length. When the
whisps are gathered in punches and
bound they are placed in a vat of green
dye, where they are stained. Their
original color is yellow, but after they
emerge from the vat and are dried they
become white. After being taken from
the vat, the punches are placed in a

twists about the pole revolving in the
machine.
Having been bound in this manner,
the next step is ti1el sewing. The.
brooms, which have already assumed
their shape. are then taken one by one
and placed in vfcelike machine,
where they are held fast while the
sewer runs the thread back and forth
through the strands. Each sewer is
able to dispose Of hundreds of brooms
in day.
The uneven ends of the strands are
then trimmed off IN another machine.
The brooms are then finished. after tin
caps have been placed over the tops of
the whisps
Hand brushes are made in much the
same manner as large broOms, different
machinery being used to suit their
size.
Like all other crafts. that Of broom
making has it's unique character. In
st. Paul there is a blind man who
daily tolls in broom factory. With
out the use of his eyes he is able to
work as well as the Most experienced
of broommakers who possess those
highly useful gifts.
This man, Lester L. Turnbull by
name. at present employed in a fac
tory on East Third street. has been
blind since he was eight years old. and
he has piled his trade. during the past
twenty years His speciality Is sew
Ing, and he is able to turn out a sur
prisingly large number of brooms in
day, and each is seWed as firmly and
well as any of those turned out by the
other sewers of the shop.
He was taught his trade in an in
stltution for the teaching of the blind.
and when he was old enough he left
the school and entered a factory and
has been self-supportfng ever since. It
is most interesting tdNobserve his man
ner of work. One entering the factory
and seeing him at hissmachine and not
noticing his appearance, would not
suppose that he was moth the perfect
possession of every sense.
In a most methodicAf manner he
takes each broom. adjusts it and pro-
ceeds to sew 1t. Which finished, he
lays 1t aside and reaches for another.
Thus he continues toswofk day by day
The broom industry has increased
considerably in st. Paul of late years.
Most Of the broOms in use in st. Paul
are Of home manufacture, and the local
factories supply wide field through
out the Northwest as well.

ufacture is the trimming off of the
heavy stock at the end of each whisp.
Having been trimmed, the whisps are
again assorted, and the fine and heavy
strands are separated for different
kinds of brooms
The material is then ready for the
binding machines. In those machines
the strands are bound to the handles
by means of wire. The operator takes
hanSul after handful of the strands,
and places them under the wire. which

Local Board OF Fire Insurance Agents
Adopt new Schedule.
The fire insurance agents of Keno
sha met this morning to take action on
the report Of J. w. Lancaster, of Mil
waukee, who has been making new
schedule of rates for the governing of
policies written on mercantile risks in
Kenosh. The schedule as prepared by
Mr.. Lancaster was adopted by unan-
imous vote Of the agents, and it will
be published and 60 into effect within
another mouth.
The schedule makes base rate for
mercantile rates in Kenosha of
seventy cents hundred. One of the
leading agents of the city in speaking
of the new schedule stated, s'Quite a
number of advances have been made
by the adoption of the new schedule of
rates, but the reductions will be far
more numerous than the advances,
aud on the whole the rates have been
reduced
AS the factory risks in Kenosha were
re-rated under the new schedules a
year ago, they will be affected only a
little by the present change in sched-
ule, and the mercantile will be the
main property affected. Residence
property is in no way affected by the
change, and the rate will remain the
same as in the past.
