FEW POINTERS FOR
POLICY HOLDERS
BY A. Nj. Bullock. State Man
dger For the Reliance
Insurance Co.

The Leader is IN receipt of the
following communication from Mr.. A.
NJ. Bullock, stats manager for the
Reliance Insurance company of Pitts
burg. in which he brings out a few
points in regard to the new insur-
ance laws, which will be of interest,
especially to policy holders. The
communication follows:
Editor Leader: To any policy
holder in any substantial. reputa e
and standard old line insurance com
pany:
The agitation now experienced by
the insurance public is liable to cause
uneasiness On the part of some of the
policy holders in old line companies,
which are about to leave Wisconsin,.
some uuprincipled or ignorant agent
of companies remaining, and some
ignorant or otherwise partlsans of
fraternal or other assessment societies
are likely TO approach you who are
carrying policies in good sound COM
panies with the statement or the pre-
tense that your policy or policies are
void Or 10 good, because your company
has left the state.
In such case 1t is we'll for you to
bear in mind that your company or
companies which have or will on Jan
usry 1st, 1908. left, or leave the state,
do so in order to protect you in your
insurance contracts and because the
sale laws are detrimental to the in
surance public and unavoidable. "
The laws passed by our last legis-
Iature and which are to become oper-
alive after December 3Ist, 1907. cannot
IN any way injure or Interfere with
your policies issued prior TO January
1sU, 1908. Any legislation other
wise would be unconstitutional and
known as Elk POST FACTO.
make this. public statement fur the
benefit OF any who may not fully I'M
derstand the provisions of the insur-
ance laws which are to 60 into effect
January 1st, 1908; that no policy holder
in any good company, going out of
the state. may be induced to drop his
policy under any such pretense what
ever.

NELSON TO ASK FOR
AN APPROPRIATION
Gives Assurance OF an Effort
to Secure Federal Building
For This City.

There is no doubt but at the present
session of Congress an appropriation
will be asked for :. federal building
tor Watertown. Congressman Nelson
writes to a friend hire that he is
keeping in mind a public building
appropriation for Watettown and is
interesting public officials at the
national capitol in the matter. An
other city in the Second congressional
district Is making strenuous requests
for an appropriation. but Representa-
tive Nelson is inclined to look after
Watertown first, III view of the fact
that our city has already been success
full in securing a site, fact that is
and should be a wedge into pening
the way to the second appropriation as
against city which IS yet has mt
vet been successful IN the first move.

SEND YOUR PROTEST
TO CONGRESSMAN
All Should Write Opposing the
Proposed Parcel Post
Law.

The Leader is nnalterably and ever
lastly oppused to the proposed postal
parcel law for the reason that 1t would
initiate against the country merchants
and in favor of the large mail order
houses in the commercial centers. The
law proposed by the postmaster general
while fair upon it's face is but the en-
tering wedge for additional legislation
and in the end, the enormously rich
conc erns in the cities will have accom-
plished their purpose. 1t is notorious
tact capable of demonstration that
the class OF goods sent out by the
cata logue houses could not be sold by
a local merchant for the prices charg
ed and it has been conclus1vely proven
that food proGucts are adulterated to
such an extent as to make them dan
gerous to health. Every country
merchant and every man Interested
in the community IN which he lives
should a. once write TO his represen-
tative in congress and protest against
the enactment of such a law and
protest mighty vigorously and IN no
uncertain one.

Cheese Market Stdgndnt.

While the dairy interests have been
able TO hold up the price OF butter
during the slump in produce, the
wholesale cheese market has been
stagnant for several weeks, and there
d esa't seem to be much immediate
prospect of Improvement at least not
until the prices decline. During the
high tide of prosperity, 70 and Is cent
cheese might find market il retail
stores, but not under the present con-
dition of affairs. The factory men
still have their August cheese on hand
and with sluggish demand, it seems
likely that they will have to let
some of the stock 20 at a lower
rate than prevailed during The fore
part of the season. Farmers Who
received high prices for their milk,
of course will not be affected, but the
cooperative factories will suffer a
loss in profits.

FACTORY INSPECTOR
ORDERS FIRE ESCAPE
BANK OF WATERTOWN MUST
BUILD FIRE ESCAPE.
Strange That Order Should Come
Less Than -Four Years After One
Good Fire Escape Had Been
Erected MGdnS a Cost of at
Least $4,000.

A deputy factory inspector has
ordered the Bank of Watertown 70
build a fire escape on either the sonth
or east side of its building at the
northwest corner of Main and FIRST
streets is the hall in the third story
being used as post hall. 1t is
passing strange that such an order
should be issued, as it is less than four
years ago shat the owners of the
building put up q good and sufficient
ire escape on the north side of the
building. The building is small and
heated with a furnace. the only stove
in it being in the Post hall and the
buildings on either side are warmed
by steam from the Masonic Temple.
To put up another fire escape where
ordered would deface the building
and cost at least 5000 and is not
required for the SAT ty of those
who occupy the building.
