Wants the Facts.

Newspapers should not be ashamed
to make public that which the public
is not ashamed to do IN private.
This statement was made by the
Rev. Frank o. Hall to nearly 500 edi-
tors, proprietors and publishers,
members of the American Newspaper
Publishers association, at the asso-
ciation's annual dinner in the ball
room of the Waldorf Astoria, New
York, last week.
The Thaw case was referred to
twice by those who spoke. DR.. Hall
in his argument that newspapers
should print the facts made this
reference to the trial:
eff men are taking girls to the
brink of hell and then pushing them
in, let US have the facts.
''When the facts are known, you
and 1.-The press and the pulpit-wlll
be able to create such a brain storm
in the minds of the people that some
of these gentlemen Will not find their
pastimes so amusing
In closing he asid that the public
is more afraid of the newspapers than
of the police. EFT to Print" was the
toast to which he responded.

25,742 POUNDS OF
i. S. MAIL HANDLED
Weight Record at Milwaukee
Road Depot Here for
Seven Days.

Several days ago The Leader made
the announcement that the govern
ment had instituted throughout the
country systematic weighing of the
mail by the railway companies for
the purpose Of getting figures on
which to base the charge of the rail-
way companies for carrying the same.
The weighing process has been going
ON at the Milwaukee road depot at the
Junction in this city since the Goth of
February. The majority of people
have but little conception of the
amount of mail handled in this city.
Some idea can be gained when the
announcement is made that during
the first seven days of the weighing
process, Is, TAP pounds of mail was
handled by the Milwaukee road alone
that is put OH and taken from trains
on that road. The weighing process
occurs every five years and here may
last for one hundred days, although it
is not known locally and the work
will stop when the order comes from
Washington to discontinue. Five
years ago. it was kept up for forty
five DAYS.

increase to $40, 900. Mr.. Wendt stated
yesterday that he has been encouraged
by financlers in several cities in the
state, but he is more favorably i'm

It's access to the steel markets. He
is favorable to Watertown also on ac-

WHY MAKE A CHANGE?

The present County Judge, Hon.
Charles b. Rogers, of this city, has
held the office now over two months.
From inquiries we know that he is
giving good satisfaction as probate
judge, especially to those who most
come in contact with him, the mem
bers of the bar. We believe that
even those attorneys who are oppos-
ing him will admit this. He has been
faithful in attendance to his duties,
seldom leaving his office, even in the
midst of the campaign. His books
are well kept, his knowledge of pro-
bate practice has enabled him to meet
all questions that have arisen prompt
ly and accurately. The bar is satisfied !;
the people are satisfied; why, then
should we make change?
There is also another consideration
involved Judge Rogers will have no
opportunity to hold civil term until
the third Monday in April, some
two weeks after the election. 1t
hardly peals to the American sense
of fair play to turn out the present
incumbent without giving him an
pportunity to show as a trial judge
in civil mattres his fitness for the
position.
No change will be made. Editor
