fact of the appearance of article
therein entitled, "Peyson's Paint

daughter of F. W. Monkey, the mana
ger of the M. Stove company in this
city. Both of the authors are
students at the Milwaukee, Downnr

tributer to the above named magazine,
for which she has been writing for
the past four years. Miss Monkey has
written number of articles and
will no doubt be heard of more fire.

The article above referred to is an
interesting little story that is creating
unusual attention and those who have
perused it sincerely hope that the con-
tribution of the young ladies will be

1854 ALLOWED FOR
EXAMINING INSANE
SUCH Is THE RECORD OF
COUNTY. BOARD MEETING.
In the Past Many Have Been Ex-
dmined and Sent to Northern
Hospital Who were Simply
Booze" Fighters - Should Be
Sent to the County Jail.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The recent session of the county
board of supervisors bills amounting
to $500 was allowed and passed as
fees to physicians for examining in
sane persons, so called. 1t has been
reported to the Leader from reliable
sources that many in the past have
been examined and declared insane and
sent to the Northern Hospital who
were simply ''booze" fiends who after
a short retention in the hospital were
discharged and returned to their
homes, the expense being charged to
the county. 1t is practice that
should be discontinued and the booze"
fiends sent to the county Jail to re-
main until they have to the booze out
of their system and have mastered
their appetites for strong drinks or
able to control it. And then, the
children of such persons-if they have
any-will always have the memory
with them that their parents were
sent to an asylum for the insane
which In many cases Will be harrow
ing memory and may possibly cloud
their lives with the fear that they
may in time become insane. 1t has
been suggested, that those declared
insane be confined in the county Jail
for a few days before being taken to
the asylum for the insane and then if
the discovery is made that the person
is not insane, but only suffering from
the jim jams, they can be discharged
as soon as they have recovered. 1t
is a matter in which the greatest care
should be exercised that expenses may
be avoided and no injury done to the
of spring of such persons if there
should be any.

COUNTY BOARD AND
MUNICIPAL COURT
WATERFOWL GETS A DECID-
EDDY BLACK EYE.
Even Home Representatives in
Their Timidity Begged to Be
Excused" When Vote Was Ia
ken-One Lone Vote. But He
Weakened and Changed.
(FrOrl Saturdays Daily J

The sensational feature at the meet
ing Of the county board, just ended,
came with the closing, or at the eleventh
hour as it were. 1t was in the nature
of a vote on the municipal court pro-
ject for Watertown. 1t was preached in
Sheridan Of Waterloo, in opposition to
this judicial convenience for this city
unless the jurisdiction be confined to
corporate limits Of the city of Water
town and the city pay the freight" or,
perhaps, more properly speaking, should
er the expense. The vote was taken and
out of the entire representation from
Jefferson county, one man had the cour-
age of conviction ton the START to vote
for WatertOwn. That man was Charles
Kiepert Of Concord. When the vote was
taken and Kiepert found he was by his
lonesome, his feet panied, and he sought
relief by following the crowd and
changed his vote and followed up the
procession, for the most part, a crowd of
politicians who never take their elbows
from the political pie counter. unless it
is to take another grab for slice, la
beled jefferson"
The reader may sOlilOquize thusly
where standeth the Watertown repre-
sentatives who were there to represent
the interests of their city," did they
too, vote with the majority, or did they
take to the tall pines?" Dear reader
they did neither one. They displayed
the courage Of Roman Gladiator? by
Systematically repeating when the vote
was called, and meakly at that: 81 beg
to be excused from voting"
The above display Of municipal loyalty
makes the Leader believe more than ever
that not only in national, state, congress
siOnal and assembly contests, candidates
should stand on platform. But it's high
time that in municipal affairs, aspirants
for political hOnors should be pushed, if
needs be upon platform and if unable
to stand-Well, fall to the shades of poll
tical obscnrity. The days of tenderfeet
politicians are numbered. Platforms
should be framed from the highest, even

Will print The name of the city and

not far distant when stamps sold by

on their face WATERFOWL, Wisconsin.

that having the name OF the city ard

prevent the big post office robberies

purposes as has often been the case

Masonic hall, having been called in
the interest of the LEGAL millers too
talk over the proposition of handling
the home product, instead of flour
manufactured elsewhere. After con-
siderable discussion a motion was
made and unanimously carried that only
home made flour should be handled by
our local grocers. As two or three
of the leading grocers were not pres
ent at the meeting to participate in
the deliberations, there is much doubt
if they will be bound by the action of
those who were IN attendance at the
meeting. While our grocers should
favor home manufacturers they are
IN this matter placed "between the
devil and the deep sea- for should

tablishhed agencies here and make a
cut in the price Of their flour the loca
grocers might lose their trade which
it would be hard for them to regain
It is a matter that is up to the people
to decide-whether they will patronize
home industries or give their trade
to outside concerns, Loyalty to home
and home industries certainly should
influence all to give their trade to
