What is Expected of a Paper.

Every newspaper editor has expert
erces with persons who imagine that
1t is the province Of the newspaper to
correct all trouble If the church is
not properly heated, the publisher is
asked to roast the janitor, If the
mail train is late, roast the postmast
er. If your boy or girl has been vast
ing time in school roast the teacher,
and roasG the school board in good
measure. The council should be roast
ed every time it does anything and
every time it fails to act. If your
neighbor is more prosperous than you
are. the newspaper should announce
that he got some of it dishonesty. Ii
a citizen wins praise for some public
action, 'roast him. is the demand of
the little fellows. His generosity
may be inspired by selfish motive
and roast will keep him from gett-
ing conceited-and so it goes.

bly, do away with the daily question
as to who will play.
Sparks From The Diamond.

Mnucoda sent a good base ball
am to Lancaster. The players are
fine lot Of fellows. and made hit
with the fans here, They played
ball all the time and did no sense
less kicking.
Will Mullen umpired the first
game and Vivian Laughton, of Platte
Vile. the second. Both did good
work.
Madden played fine ball in both
Muscoda games. "Biddie" knows
base ball and is in the game all the
time.
Fans should remember that the
Madison games Monday and Tueday
end the season here. All should turn
out and give the best base ball team
ever organized in this section of Wis
consin a good send off the boys de-
serve it.
We know that Lancaster s base
ball victories haven't pleased some
of our neighboring friends, but why
show the sour grape" disposition
The management set out to, get a
championship team together and the
season S record indicates that the
boys delivered the goods. despite the
knocking.
Now be sure and don't forget those
games with the Madison team Monday
and Tuesday.
You will see good base ball and

The Hit Bird FIutters.

The following peevish outbreak is
from the Platteville Witness this
week. The Grant County fair seems
TO have made a general hit.
Our friend Knapp of Lancaster, he
cartoonickly iuclined, has been rub
bling it into Platteville pretty hard.
His good natured cartoons relative to
base ball were probably merited.
Lancaster won-proba bly, had the bet
ter team. Some one has to win and
no one need get sore.
But when he commences to make
cartoon comparisons between Lancas-
ter's and Plattevi lies fairs there is
as much difference in me1it-entries,
attractions, and attendance, as bet
ween a common ten cent bowery dance
and we'll patronized firemans ball.
We have no disposition to knock"
our neighporing town-it is uhfortun-
ate both fairs were on the same dates
but the Big Badger Fair was simply
the whole thing and it was not neces-
sary either, for Platteville to- knock
to get the immense crowd we had. We
might suggest that the cartoonist take
a TX )nap(p) ION his knocking. We
have every reason to smile and we
have good reason TO do so.

The Fair Made a Hit.

The following are press clippings
regarding the Grant county fair:
There was a large turn out from
this section to the Lancaster fair
Thursday. Practically everybody
went and all returned home we'll
pleased. The Heras family alone
was worth the price Of admission and
of course everybody wanted to see
Arson and his Colts, but the renown-
ed Chicago team was no match for
Lancaster, which proved again that it
is the fastest baseball team in Wis
consin outside of the state league.
Piddington pitched magnificent
game. allowing only two hits and his
support was superb. The races were
interesting. The showing of live
stock was the best in years and in all
departments the displays were good.

Both the Lancaster and Plattevi.le
fairs, held last week were largely at

School opened this year with about
the same number of pupils seated in
the main room as there was last year
at the beginning of school.
A large percentage of the entering
class is composed of pupils from the
country where many of the good
students come from.
Prin. Slothower is always a bnsy
man during school times, bat he is
something like seven times buster this
last week, bringing order out of
chaos.
Rumor says that the senior class
of last year has in its possession quite d
SUN of money which they are going
to donate to the school in some form
or other Why not distribute it
equally among the remaining students
in the high school? Surely this kind
and unique act would long be re
membered.
A long felt want in the school has
been supplied in the form of new
safe which has been installed in the
Office this year. It is necessary that
such place be provided for the safe
keeping of the book rent money and
the -aluable school records. Neither
will be necessary to hide the examina
ton questions under the piano.
Theda Howe, Jeanette Mccoy
and Ted Lowry were present at the
opening of school Monday morning
The freshmen are entertaing the
upper classes with the annual treat.
They may be found almost any where
after the classes pass out. They wan
der aimlessly about through the halls,
into recitation rooms, up and down
stairs, and finally return, blushing
prettily to the main room. None of
them have as yet been reported in the
attic; this undoubtedly being due to
the fact that there is no ready way of
getting up there.
The usually troublesome daily pro-
gram is being madeup with surprising
success and convenience to all. A
new feature in it this year is con-
sultation period for pupils and teach
ers at the end of the program. 1t will
De of great benefit TO pupils wishing
to get individual help from teachers.
Assistant Prin. Trainor neatly ex-
tricated himself from rather puz-
zling position the first morning the
regular program went into effect.
At ten thirty, the regular recess time,
the pupils began looking expectantly
at him and waited for him to tap the
bell. Mr.. Trainor looked at the pro-
gram and seeing nothing scheduled for
ten thirty. He thought moment
and then smillingly remarked If
you know what to do, do it, | don't. -

rush from the desks.
There was a meeting of high school
athletic association "wednesday night
after school. There is going to be a

average in years past. However speed

REPORT OF STATE

trial Accidents.
Department Makes Complete Investiga
ton and Report Will Be Issued
In Few Days.

With 10. 571 people injured during
the year 1907 of which % per cent hap
pened to be workmen while at work.
a problem is presented which has been
the subject of complete investigation
by the state bureau of labor. This
is the first investigation of industrial
accidents made in Wiconsin, the re-
suits of which will be shown in re-
port in few days. The subject of
employers liability for industrial
accidents has attracted much attention
recently in the United States. In Wis
consin. no less than in her states in
which there IS much industrial deve-
IOpment, accidents to wUrkmen while
at work are becoming so numerous
that it is desirable not only to seek
the best methods of prevention, but
also to provide a method of settling a
claim arising out of such accidents
that will be equitable, expeditions
issued by the Wisconsin Bureau of
Labor. information is given concern
ing many phases OF the problem.
In the year 1907, Wisconsin physi-
leans reported 80, 81 accidents of
which 90 per cent happened to work
men while at work Accidents mean
not only financial distress to many
workingmen s families and expensive
litigation, but they ssIo mean con-
tinual expense to the employer for
liability insurance. An attempt is
made in this report TO estimate the
amount of this expense.
1t appears that less than half the
money paid out by employers on
account of accident reaches the vic
tim, and if the same amount were
properly attributed. considerable relief
could be paid, with no added expense,
to every man injured regardless, of neg
ligence Employers are legally re-
sponsible now only if the working
men car prove that the employers
negligence was the cause of the &C
cident. The attempt to locate neg
Iigence SO that it will hold in court
OF law is vexatious and this system
has been abandoned by practically
every civilized country except the
Un1ed States.
The majority of accidents are to be
attributed to the industry, rather than
the fault of specific individuals, and
hence the report would seem unTeason-
able 20 say that the burden of industry
insuring workingmen while at work
should lee regarded as one of the ex
penses Of the business.
The particular contribution which
this report aims to make toward the
solution of the problem lies in show
ing that a system of workingmen' s
compensation or insurance against
accidents could be adopted in Wis.
consin without unduly burdening our
industries. This is a reform which
is at once to the interest of employ
ers, employees, and the public.
The report also takes up the SUBJ
ject of liability insurance, mutual aid
societies, opinions of employers and
the state federation of labor, the
English, German and French acct
dent insurance systems, and legisla-
ton in Wisconsin, and finally sum-
marizes the argument for and against
proposed reforms. Wisconsin State
Journal.
