Condition Of All Vessels on the
Lakes Examined Before They
Can D. Business
PENALTIES FOR NEGLECT
All Equipment Must be Passed by In
spectors as Well as Hull and Ma
chinery-Particular Attention
Paid to Life Preservers

With the return of spring, the busy
season Of the government vessel in
spectors has commenced. It will last
until next autumn, or until the close
of navigation, for it IS during the ma
rine season that most Of the inspecting
is done.
Every boat plying the great lakes
must be thoroughly inspected from
stem to stern at least once a year.
Boats which make a business of carry
ing passengers must undergo three ex
ira inspections in addition to the reg
ular annual one to which all boats are
Subjected. Moreover, boats which do
ia heavy passenger business, as for in
stance the big steamers that ply be-
tween Milwaukee and Chicago, are
under the eyes of the inspectors al
most continually during the season.
The work of inspection admits a. di-
vision into two classes, known as boil
er inspection and hull inspection
Boiler inspection, while applying parti-
cularly to the boilers, extends to the
entire mechanical part Of the boat; and
hull inspection regards not only the
hull, but every other part Of the ship
which is not covered by the boiler in
spection. The boiler examiner is an
expert mechanical engineer; the hull
examiner is an expert ship carpenter
and navigator.
William A. Collins is the chief in
|spector Of the Milwaukee district. He
lis also chief boiler inspector, having
as his assistant Perry n Knaggs. F.
w. Van Patten is chief hull inspector.

Boats are inspected only when they
ask for it. Anyone who jumps to the
conclusion that if he were a boat own

VOTE FOR STATE FLOWER
School Children to Cast Final Ballots
on Arbor Day of This Year

In less than a month the official
state flower of Wisconsin will have
been chosen, and it will be either the
violet, the wild rose, the trailing ar
butus or white water lily.
On Arbor and Bird day, year ago
at the request of the state superin-
tendent, 114,411 boys and girls (and
some grown folks) east ballots in
primary election for the selection of
four wild flower candidates. one of
which was to be selected this year as
the state flower.
The idea arose in the office of the
state superintendent and it was decided
that the school children of the state
and any adults who cared to participate
should name the state flower. 1t was
arranged that on Arbor and Bird day.
ballots should be cast in every school
in Wisconsin and a, list of thirty-one
wild flowers was submitted.
After the votes were counted and
the returns sent into the state super
intendent S office, it was discovered
that the violet had 26,505 votes, the
wild rose 1856 votes, the trailing ar
butus 1899 votes and the white water
lily 1861 votes.
These were the highest figures in the
contest and made these flowers candi-
dates before the election to be held
this Arbor day. Every one should
take part in the contest this year, as
it is the final and will determine the
state flower.
The Arbor and Bird Day Manual
for this year gives Il description and
some information concerning each of
the different flowers and short cam
paign argument by champion of each
flower

THE WOODMAN PICNIC

Good work by the representatives Of
the local camp has secured the big
gathering of the Modern Woodmen
for next year for Kenosha and it
is the duty of every citizen to do his
best to make the affair the most sue
cessful of the kind ever held any
where. The Woodmen are entitled to
much credit for their enterprise in Sc
curing this big meeting Of their order
and they should be given every pos
slble encouragement by the merchants
and business men of the city. In order
to make the affair a success the Wood
men must have the hearty cooperation
of all the people of the city for they
are facing the biggest proposition of
the kind ever undertaken by any fra
ternal organization in this city. On
account of it's geographical location
Kenosha has had rather a hard time
in the past in securing the big gath
erings Of the different fraternal organi-
cations and societies which are repre-
sented here by lodges, but it has a.
chance now to demonstrate its fitness
as a convention city and the success
full handling of this big gathering of
the Woodmen will have big influence
when other lodges from this city seek
to secure the big conventions Of their
orders. There is no better advertise
ment for any city than big crowd of
pleased visitors and we hope that the
Woodmen picnic will be only the first
of the big meetings that the city will
have chance to entertain. 1t will
take lot of hard work and some
money to take proper care of the
crowds that will flock to the city for
the picnic, but the Woodmen can be
depended upon to do their level best
to made the affair a success from every
standpoint and with the proper back
ing from the people of the city they
are bound to succeed. For the credit
of the city every citizen of Kenosha
should be interested equally with the
Woodmen in the success of the picnic

BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTY.

The bank deposit guaranty scheme is
now to be given a trial elsewhere than
III Oklahoma. This year the legisla-
lures of three other states have accept
ed it. In two of them reinsurance
will be voluntary A state bank can
stay in or out as it pleases. The
Kansas legislators hoped that this mod
i6cation of the Oklahoma plan would
enable the national banks to come in
if so disposed. The attorney general
has dashed their hopes by telling them
that it is out Of the question. Doubt
less the state banks which need all
the backing up they can get will avail
themselves of the law. What the
banks with abundant resources will
think of the law is another matter.
They may not care to tax themselves
for the benefit of their weaker
brethren.
But whether banks unite voluntarily
or under compulsion to guarantee de-
posits, the banks do not in the long
run pay the tax. 1t will fall upon the
depOsitors in one way or another, and
the cost to the average depOsitor will
be greater than if he were to pay some
reputable insurance company the prem
ium it would charge for guaranteeing
his deposit Still, if the system does
not break down in some Of the states
which are adopting it, neighboring
states may be tempted to fall into line
with them. There will be better OPP
portunity now to ascertain the effect of
the guaranty system upon the national
banks of a state adopting it than the
single experience of Oklahoma could
afford. The reports from there are
contradictory.
Curiously enough, the overwhelming
ly Democratic legislature of Texas re-
fused to adopt the guaranty plan. Mr..
Bryan went to Austin and made a
speech for it, but the legislators, per
haps to emphasize their Indifference
to him, refused to act. Or it may be
that the legislature which was so con-
sentative regarding railroad and other
legislation as to incur the wrath of a
radical governor was of the opinion
that it would be we'll to wait and see
the workings of the deposit guaranty
plan in other states.-Chicago Tribune.

er and had a vessel which he feared
would not stand inspection, he would
not ask for it, will change his mind
quickly when he learns that to sail the
ship 100 yards after the yearly inspec-
ton has become due would subject him
to large fine. An owner may ask for
inspection within sixty days of the
time when the inspection certificates
will expire. lie may make the request
Of the Inspector of any district in
which the vessel may happen to be at
the time. There is no charge for the
service. The Milwaukee district ex-
tends to Green Bay on the north, Keno
sha on the south and as far west as
Portage. Only bodies Of water that
have a direct connection with Lake
Michigan are affected. These are the
Fox and Wolf rivers and Lake Winnie
bago. soon as a request for in
spection is received, boiler Inspector
and hull inspector start at once for
the place where the boat lies. Recog-
nizing the fact that ship owners can
not afford to be tied up by delay
in inspection, examiners are sent at
once to the farthest points in the dis
tIict to inspect the smallest craft that
comes within the scope Of the regula-
tion
One of the principal duties of the
hull inspector is to examine life pre-
servers. Each preserver must be care
fully scrutinized, a task Of no small
magnitude in the case of big excur-
sion steamer. The lifeboats and life
crafts also come in for share of at
tention. The government regulates
the number Of each that are to be
carried, and the number of persons
that are to be carried on them. Ten
cubic feet of space is allowed each
passenger. The inspector regulates
the number of passengers that can be
carried on the vessel itself The pas
sengers' cabin, the officers and sea-
men s quarters, the decks, the fire fight
ing apparatus are also under his super
vision.
Recent disasters have suggested
many Improvements in vessel equip
ment. One expensive lesson was learn
ed from the Slocum disaster of few
years ago, when the steamer Slocum,
loaded with children on their way to a
picnic, burned to the waters edge in
New York bay, and hundreds of her
passengers were burned to death or
drowned. This lesson is the danger
that attends the use Of life preservers
filled with graduated cork If there
is fire and the canvas cover is burned
off, nothing remains but the powdered
cork, which goes to pieces. Now all
life preservers contain a single ring of

The greatest aid the world wide
campaign against tuberculosis has yet
received is the interest the great fra
ternal organizations are taking in the
movement. There is not one of them but
is doing everything in it's power to ad
vance the movement among it's mem
bership and all of them are paying
their full share of the expenses of the
campaign. AS most of the societies
maintain insurance departments it may
be that their interest in the spread
of the knowledge that the dreaded
"white plague is a preventable and
durable disease arises more from a de-
sire to keep down the number of death
claims on their treasures than any
thing else, but no one will be disposed
to question the motive which actuates
them so long as they obtain the desired
results.

South Dakota did not repeal her
prohibition law because her people
had sympathy with the liquor traf-
fic, but because they were tired Of
the hypocrisy and continual COM
motion engendered by the efforts
for its enforcement.
1t is probable that the wisdom of
man will some day enable him to
study out a better system than high
license for regulating and reducing
in number the liquor saloons Of the
world and lessening the evils Of in
temperance in the use Of strong
drink. But. in the absence Of such
better measure, it does not speak
well for prohibitive laws that, after
fifty years Of agitation, practically
all of the white mans world, out
side of a few American states, still
believes that regulation Of the liquor
evil gives better results than the
well-meant attempts to prohibit by
law the use Of intoxicants.
