MONTREAL, Juno 13---The Rclleliou
and Ontario Navigation compnnys
steamship Canada. bound from Quebec
for Montreal came into collision with
the Dominion Coal Company's collier
Cape Breton SIX miles below Sorel yes
to-day. twenty minutes later the Canada
went to tho bottom. There were ITO per-
sons ON the Canada. Five were lost: the
others were rescued.
Those who persisted were Alfred
Thlbeault, ticket agent OF the company
at Quebec. and his two sons; Purser
Bonnetcrre, OF the Canada, and q man
named Brunei, of Sorel.
The collision occurred Just az dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay at
the entrance OF the Lake st. Peter chan
mel, waiting for daylight, She was get
ting under way when the Canada, making
for SoreI at full speed came Into v.eW.
Just who is responsible for the COLI
sion has not yet been determined, but
It appears that the Cape Breton had not
got Roadway on enough TO answer hcr
helm, and that she swerved across me
path OF the passenger boat, her poW
striking the Canada just forward OF the
paddle box, on the starboard slde, tearing
It's way half through.
Their the Cape Breton swung clear
and the two steamships came ALONGSIDE
one another
The shock OF The collision aroused the
sleeping passengers The Canada At once
began TO settle. and as the Cape Breton
did not appear to be seriously dana geo.
the passengers were hurriedly trans
ferred to the collier. In the excitement
some OF the passengers Jumped over
board and were picked UP by boats
Thiheault and his two sons occupied q
state room near where the Cape I3reton'S
bow entered the Canada. and ~ IS cup
nosed that they were killed In their
berths The body Of the father was re-
covered later In the day.
Bonneterrc. the purser. was seen after
the collision making his way to his quar-
ters on the lower deck, with the inten-
ton OF saving hs cash and his RECORDS
and II is supposed that he perlshed IN
the attempt Brunei was second class
passenger, and no one saw him after the
collision.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-07-29

The intense contest which both polit-
ical parties in Minnesota experienced in
national and state politics this year has
renewed the discussion on primary cleo
rion. Because things have run riot at
the caucuses in some notable instances,
those who seek to force men to be good
by legislation think wider scope of the
primary law would be desirable in Min
nesota. But the Pioneer Press, which
has been foremost in advocacy of the
new caucus method, is opposed to direct
nominations for a state ticket. 1t is not
opposed to applying it to delegates, but
thinks the representative idea should
have sway in so complicated task as
the choosing of state officers. This all
goes to show that reforms in the prima-
ries must tie work of slow and steady
growth. Men differ as to what is the
best and radical measures must result in
more harm than good. Primary elections
have their limitations Rural communi
ties and small cities only need it in a
modified way. while complex work, like
placing a state ticket does not need the
system at all,-Hudson Star-Times
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-07-29

In OPENING the Rosebud Indian reser-
walton to settlement, the United States
government has set up lottery in which
the holders of lucky numbers will draw
prizes ranging from $500 to $1,000. There
are 1900 quarter sections of land that
have been made subject to homestead
entry. Over 100000 landseekers regis
tered at Yankton, Bonesteel, Fairfax and
Chamberlain. The name of each person
that registered will be placed in an en-
velope. From the 100000 envelopes CON
tanning the names of those that regis
tered, 1900 envelopes will be drawn.
Those whose names are drawn will be
entitled to file homesteads upon the
lands, each person being entitled to 100
acres of land. The drawing commences
today, and it is estimated that those who
registered spent twice as much money as
the land is worth.

GAME wardens come high, but the
present state administration must have
them in it's business, whatever the ex
pense to the people. To maintain these
chaps last year and their pals, the oil in
spectors, while they were beating up
"fair- minded democrats" for caucus pur-
poses, talking on the street corners and
organizing clubs, it cost the tidy sum OF
SIO8,OOO, all of which was filched from
those who like to take day or two off
for tramping around with harmless
gun on their shoulders, and those who
burn oil instead of gas. One hundred
and eight thousand dollars is good bit
OF money to pay out for the protection
of game and the perpetuation of game
wardens to roundup" fair-minded

The Making of a Newspaper

Men who wouldn't attempt to manage
mercantile business, a bank, or an Of
flee without years of preparation, are
perfectly competent to handle a news
paper off hand.
The impression is quite general with
people outside the gewspape- fraternity,
that the mission of paper is to abuse
somebody, and the advise suggested to a
publisher along this line is of frequent
and monOtOGous regularity.
We can't discover the connecting link
between those two articles on your front
page Why don't you say something
against building that high board fence
around the old fair ground?
A saloon man violates the Sunday or
dinance. "Why don't you 60 after him?'
A man comes home drunk and abuses
his family. Why don't the paper estab
lish court of justice, try the case and
punish the offender off handed?' A mer-
chant attempts to defraud his creditors.
"Why don't you hold him up for inspec
ton, and expose the fraud?" These and
thousand and one other things of min
or Importance, the paper is expected TO
regulate, and why? Simply because it
is safer to call man fraud or liar at
long range than when you meet him face
to face.
The mission of newspaper so far as
its news columns are concerned, is to fur
nish the news Of the day, unbiased by
the expression of opinion, and recogniz-
ing neither friend or foe It's editorial
page is supposed to stand for good NOR
ais and promote to the best of its ability
the welfare Of the papers constituency.
A we'll regulated newspaper has no
friends to reward or enemies to punish.
1t does not descend to the level of per-
sonal journalism. 1t recognizes the diff
ference between private character and
public life. The former belongs to the
individual, the latter to the public at
large.
The paper comes OUT with monoton-

In sworn statement regarding the
methods adopted by the late Republican
State Central committee to control the
gymnasium convention, Madison's chief
of police says that he was asked by the
sergeant-at-arms to aid in the commit
tees plan by appointing number of
special policemen to assist in keeping or
der, but he refused to comply with the
request. His affidavit states that the
sergeant-at-arms transformed the gym
nasium into fire trap by barricading
the doors; that that official called upon
the sheriff to appoint deputies to aid in
protecting the entrances, and football
athletes and pugilists were lined up the
narrow entrances and examined minute
ly the badge OF every delegate. Chief
Baker swears that the stalwart delegates
came quietly in body and were roughly
handled by toughs and treated as sus-
picious characters.
