last man was taken out they were
standing in water up to their necks.
II is estimated that it will take nearly
a week to pump out the mine.

The action of Gov. La Toilette and his
contesting delegates in Withdrawing
their contest from the national commit
fee on credentials is characteristic of the
man. The governor has always had his
own way or row. Charging the national
committee as unfair and prejudiced ia
directly in line with his charges against
members of the legislature who differed
with him on state policy. 1t will be en-
tirely consistent for him to go on the
stump now and charge fraud and cor
ruption against the national committee
of his party. The insult is not greater
than that frequently uttered against
leading men of his state. After his cold
turn down at Chicago it is to be expected
the Indian would take the war path.

The Law of the Road.

Highways are established by law. The
obligation to establish highways, and the
burden of keeping them in repair is i'm.
posed by statute upon the town, city OF
village in which the highway is located
The supervisors, being the executive
officers of the town, it becomes their du-
ty, not only to lay out and establish
highways when public necessity demands
it, but they must keep those highways
clear Of encroachments and obstruction,
and make them safe for public travel.
Ii the supervisors neglect to keep the
highways safe for public travel, and
some traveller because of such defective
highway sustains an injury and is dam
aged, the town as a matter of law be-
comes liable to the injured traveller in
damage to the amount of the injury.
In this age of progress we meet many
and various kinds f vehicles on the road.
The OK teams are gone, but in their
place have come the steam thresher, drill
machine, automobile, motorcycle and
bic, Gle : all travelling on the road. Our
statutes have imposed upon the owners
or managers of steam engines Cd the
highway certain duties of caution which
they must observe. This statute goes no
farther than steam engines, all other We
hicleS-Whether autos, mOter cycles,
horses Or wheels are governed by the
same law.
That law may be briefly expressed as
follows: Parties lawfully using public
street owe to each other the duty Of rea-
sonaole and ordinary care and each is
justified in assuring that the other will
so act, and on this principle it has been
held by the court:-That person using
the highway with a load on his wagon,
or with a vehicle naturally calculated to
frighten horses, must use more than or
binary care-must in fact do all he rea-
sonably can do to save from harm other
travellers of the road. If he fails to use
this precaution, and an accident occurs
resulting in damage to the other travel
er, he has no defense in an action for
damage unless he can show that the 9th
er mans negligence contributed to the
mischief

THE new postoffice bill is of especial
interest to farmers because it makes
radical changes in the rural free delivery
system. The carriers will no longer be
allowed to acts as agents or solicitors for
hire, Sentiment was we'll nigh universal
in Congress that the practice of permit
ing government officials to act as buck
sters was bad in principle. Rural car
riers from this on will be on an equal
footing with other employees of the gov
eminent. Carriers will still be allowed
to do little errands for farmers along
their routes, but will not be allowed to
carry express matter for outsiders Or act
as agents or. solicitors for any special
publication. Their main business is to
carry the mail for which they will be
paid $72O year after July l, with good
prospects of an early increase, at least
500 more annually.

THE examination OF State Insurance
Commissioner Zeno M. Host, in the in
terests Of the Prudential Life Insurance
company, is throwing some light on pro-
ceedings which have excited suspicious
and which led the insurance company to
commence legal proceedings against the
insurance commissioner to recover S2l, )
900, collected for examination services
The investigation shows that a liberal
percentage of this money was distribut-
ed among men now in state employ. and
drawing good salaries. The attorney
generals Office shared in the dividend
and the whole thing has an unsavory
outlook. When the new administration
comes in number of lids will be remov-
ed. For extravaganza, under the guise
of reform, the present regime discounts
anything in the history of the state.
The army of game wardens and other
cheap employees, who have chased over
the state at public expense are constant
reminders OF the fact that public money
comes easy, and goes without effort. 1t
is high time to call halt and see where
we are at. "Grinding corporations" may
be Il menace to the state, but political
corruption in high places is more than a
menace.-Gazette.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has made new departure. The increas-

Gusts. The locust is rapid grower, and
moreover, the timber is durable under

The Heart of Robert Bruce.

When Robert Bruce, king of Scot
land, lay upon his deathbed in tie
year 1929 he remembered that he had
registered VOW to help wrest the
Holy Land from the heather Turks.
It was clear that the time for fulfilling
this VOW had passed, but new thought
presented Why not have his heart re-
moved and sent to Jerusalem for
burial? To make the story short, this
was decided upon, and Sir James Doug
las was commissioned to carry it in Il
silver urn ito place as near as posi-
BILE to where the Saviour was cruel
fed and there bury it. Arriving in
Spain, Sir James, with the precious
relic strung to his neck by chain,
was killed in battle with the Moors.
Sir Simeon Locard returned with the
heart to Scotland and deposited it un-
der the altar of Melrose abbey, whera
it now is.

THE La Toilette claiments for seats in
the national convention az delegates at
large are excluded because the body
pretending to be the Republican state
convention was irregular. Spooner,
Quarles, Baocock and Baensch are ad-
judged entitled to seats as delegates at
large because they present credentials
from the regular state convention of the
Wisconsin Republicans. 1t follows that
all the acts of the La Toilette conven-
ton held in the gymnasium at Madison
by which that body essayed to speak for
the Republican party of the state of
Wisconsin were null and void. The body
speaking and acting with authority on
behalf of the Republicans of the state
was the convention held in the Fuller
Opera House. The state ticket headed
by S. A. Cook is the regular Republican
ticket. The state central committee OF
which Theodore Goldin is chairman is
the regular Republican committee
Whatever is done or said against these
standard-besrers of Republicans in Wis
consin will be acts against the Republic
can party. The unanimous decision al
Chicago has tended to clear the air.

COMMENTING on the governors defeat
at Chicago, the Chicago Chronicle says
The committee seems to have realized,
as every one does who has watched the
progress Of events in Wisconsin, that the
La Toilette movement was one which
called for the most summary and drastic
treatment possible. Gov. La Toilette is
essentially a populist and socialist
strongly favored with selishness, ambi
ton and demagogy. His following is not
the republican party. though it calls
itself by that name, but a clan composed
of all parties. Like all personal follow
ings, it is radical, corrupt and fanatical,
and far more vigorous and aggressive
than mere political party. It is easy
to see, therefore, that the La Toilette
movement threatens the complete oblit-
GRAFTON of the republican party in Wis
cousin. Already La Toilette is under
the guidance of his William j. Bryan
democrats. Republican principles, ira
ditions and restraints have been thrown
to the winds, and BY the time this mon
,grel host has wholly captured the state
it may Iepudiate the republican party
also and literally abolish the republican
party in Wisconsin.
