Neither a Firnle Nor Sparrins Match.

EDITOR CENSOR: Last weeks CEN
SoR contains a report OF the democratic
state convention. For the benefit OF
those readers, who depend exclusively
on the CENSOR for Wisconsin political
news, | would like to make some cor
rections. The convention is called "a
fizzle and cat and dog sparing match,
that abandoned its main purpose (nomi-
nation of a state ticket" The facts
are, that there was no fight in the con
ventlon, and that it was called for
adopting a platform, the only purpose
specifically mentioned in the call. There
was some fear. before the convention
met, that Candidates would have to be
drafted for places on the state ticket.
As soon as the convention found, that
this would be unnecessary, there was
no talk of nominating candidates. A
motion TO. ballot for a candidate for
governor did not even receive a second.
do rot understand, why the rivalry
for nomination between two democrats
is "a cat and dog sparring match
while between two republicans it is q
friendly contest.
According to the CENSOR the con.
vention rejected free whisky plar
submitted by Mayor Rose of Milwaukee.
The fact is, that the convention
unanimously adopted the platform sub.
mitted. | understand that plank
against county option was proposed m
the committee on resolutions, but with.
out finding amy support.
Respectfully.

Bank. Safest Place for Earnings.

The Evening Wisconsin tells about q
Milwaukee widow who carried 81 500 in
cash, her whole eartly fortune, in a
bag of ticking fastened about her waist
beneath her skirt by cord, and who,
after visiting the circus the other day
found that the bag was missing. Part
of the money represented her savings
during years of economy; part was the
proceeds of her husbands insurance on
his life. She had lost confidence in
banks. but she learned in costly lesson
that which many others have also learn
ed in the bitter school of experience.
Experience shows that much the safest
place for money is in bank.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 29.-For
the first time in the history of the
nation, there has been started a
non-political fight for position on
the presidnet's cabinet with a def
mite man in view.
The candidate of the western
states for secretary of the interior
Is James b. Case of Abeline. Kan
sas, banker nd life insurance man.
who was president OF the trans
Mississippi congress that adjourn
ed here a few days ago, and who
has for years welded a large in
fiuence in the settling of western
questions.
y These are the reasons given by
Western men for Their insistent de-
mand that western man be ap-
pointed secretary of the interior.
All the public lands are in the
west.
IAN the reclamation and irriga-
ton projects of the government are
in the west.
All the arid lands of the country
are in the west.
All the national forests are in
the west.
The great majority of the prob
lens to be solved by the interior
department are problems of the
great western country.
For these reasons. say the men
of the west. man who has lived
in the west is needed ae the head
of the interior department. I'VE
have no quarrel to pick with Gar
Geld," said one of the big men who
attended the trans Mississippi con-
gress here, but we know that he

who understands their work. The
sheep men want man who un-
derstands them and their work, and
they both come into intimate touch
with the interior department
through the questions arising out
of the administration Of the pub
lie domain"
The movement in favor of Case
started at the waterways conven-
ton in Chicago several years ago
and 1t took such definite form
here that a resolution was pro-
posed to put the trans Mississippi
congress on record as favoring
Case for secretary of the interior,
no matter who is elected for next
president.
Case himself squelched this res
olution, declaring that 1t was out
Of the province OF the transmits
sissippi congress to take any part
in political questions and that the
action might be misconstrued.
But at quiet little meeting Of
the most influential delegates to
the congress, il was decided that
everyone should work for western

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The the
atrical trust has received jolt,
one involving the loss Of real
money, that may result in more
or less elevation Of the stage.
For years the trust has gone
more and more out Of bounds in
serving plays for the New York
public. There has been a steady
progression from the drama of sor-
did social intrigue to devils and
near-naked Salomes in an apparent
effort to achieve the Partisan
standard. If that was the aim
it was attended with good de-
gree of success artistically and
with satisfactory financial results.
New York stood for it. The
thousands of visitors who come
here and contribute so much to
fatten the treasury of the trust
seemed to regard these stage at
fractions as good substitute for
stunning. and paid their dollars
cheerfully enough.
Having done so we'll in the big
town, they proceeded. with bright
anticipations, to cover the country
with smut. And therefrom came
the jolt. Il was discovered that
outside of New York there was a
wholesome sentiment that did not
welcome the Partisan drama. The
first companies sent out met with
painful lack of patronage. even
in those towns where police raids
forced the trust to tone down or
eliminate attractions that tended
to bring suggestions of the tender
loin into a respectable environ
ment. They were withdrawn.
AS a result of this demonstra-
ton of digust, the west is to be
favored with plays that may be a
little less modern, but carry bet
ter Influence.
