The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-09-13

CONGRESSMAN JOHN NJ NELSON of the
Second Wisconsin district, in an address
delivered at the dedication of a park in
Waterloo, Wis Wednesday, gave dole
full picture OF the useless life forced upon
the new congressman during his initial
year of service. He is, according to Mr..
Nelson, entirely obliterated either as
statesman or an orator by the rules OF
the house and the tyranny Of the speak
er. Imagination can scarcely conceive
OF the muss that would be made by the
budding statesmen, were it not for the
firm hand of the speaker and the strin-
gent rules of the house. 1t is conceded
that the speaker may abuse his powers,
but this danger is incompatible with
what might result it the new men were
given full swing, especially when tidal
wave upon the political sea sweeps lot
OF nondescripts into the house men who
were placed in nomination by their
party, merely to fill out the ticket and
maintain the party organization against
an overwhelming majority. -Milwaukee
journal.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1907.

WESTWARD wends the two cent fare.
The last state to be added to the list is
Kansas, the board of railroad commits
sioners of that state having issued an
order, Wednesday, to the effect that the
railroads must put the two cent fare in
effect on or. before October /. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Ne
braska already are favored with the two
cent fare. In some of these states the
law has not been in operation long
enough to give it reasonable trial. but
in Minnesota the passenger receipts for
the first three months show an increase
over the corresponding period of the
preceding year And if the receipts are
larger and the expenses no more, then,
indeed, should the railroads be satisfied.

T. NJ. PurteIl, state Fire Marshal Believes
That Big Item of Fire Loss on Farms
May Be Materially Reduced.

That Big Item of Fire Loss Farms
May Be Materially Reduced.
lightning rods not only help to save
farm buildings and property from de-
structon, but are almost an absolutely
dependable safeguard. This is the opinion
reached by State Fire Marshal T. M.
Purtell who has devoted himself to in
vestlgating the causes of fires.
In the short time in which this de-
partment has been operating" says Mr..
Purtell II have been greatly impressed
by the large percentage of fires, particu-
larIy country fires, caused by lightning.
During the first twenty days in which
reports were received there were forty
fires reported from the country districts
in which the total loss was $4,000. OF
these tWentynlne we're caused by light
ming with a loss of over $4,000 This
large percentage, nearly three fourths of
the total, caused by lightning, has led
me to investigate means of, protection
and thereby les5ening of this enormous
loss. [ find that the mutual fire insur-
ance companies in recent report state
that over o-thirds of all the losses by
fire to farm property was caused by
lightning. Especially in the section
where there are but few lightning rods.
Also at a recent meeting of the officers
or representatives of 10 of the mutual
insurance companies of Michigan it was
figured that their lightning losses dur
ing the past year were over 100000.
Representatives of Ill farm mutuals in
Iowa report that Is per cent. of their
losses have been from lightning. In
each one hundred barns struck. Is are
set on fire and barn fired by lightning
is almost invariably total loss"
