Social Labor Party in Con.
VentiOn at Milwaukee Puts
Up State Candidates
F. G. KREMER FOR GOVERNOR

At the state convention of the Wis
consin section of the Socialist Labor
party in Milwaukee Saturday night,
resolutions denouncing the American
Federation Of Labor, Victor L. Berger,
and the Social Democrats the latter as
opportunists, were passed, and the fol
lowing ticket was placed in the field
for the fall election:
For governor-Fred Z. Kremer, Mil
waukee.
For lieutenant governor John
Herold, Eagle River.
For secretary of state-John Vier-'
thaler, Milwaukee.
For treasurer-Fred Marchmin, She
boygan.
For insurance commissioner-Albert
Wang, Superior.
Locals in Milwaukee, Sheboygan,
Superior, Red Granite and Racine were
represented by twenty-five delegates.
John Vierthaler was reelected state
secretary for two years and the fol
lowing committee was appointed to
take charge of the campaign; August
SchnabeI, August Reinhart, Charles Sla-
bey, Charles Erhart, Charles Bartsch,
Hans Hillman, Milwaukee, and Charles
Oberheu, Superior.
In a resolution attacking Victor Ber-
ger for his stand on immigration, the
convention declared that it was hypo-
critical and detrimental to the labor
movement to exclude any race or color
from this country.

The discovery of Irregularities in one
or two of the minor fraternal insur-
ance orders recently seems likely to lead
to a general investigation all around
and general checking up of the books
and accounts of all the fraternal orr
CARNATIONS from the largest to the
smallest AS a matter of fact these
periodical investigations are all that
keeps these societies in a healthy CON
dition and they are about all the as
surance the insured ever get that the
business of their particular order is be-
ing conducted as it should be and in
g. manner likely to conserve the assets
they are depending upon to pay their
policies when they mature. The in
surance departments of the several
states keep a much closer watch over
the fraternal societies than they used
to, but about once in so often some
thing turns up to show that things are
belng done by some set of officials or
another which escape the notice of the
regular examiners and which are only
disclosed by these Investigations brought
about on the demand of members of
the orders. 1t certainly can do no
harm and may result in much good to
have a general checking up of the books
and business methods of the executive
officers of any organization as often as
any of the members think that such an
examination is necessary.

Members of K. of P. Hold An
nual Service for Dead Mem
bers Sunday Afternoon
JUDGE SM|ED|NG A SPEAKER

In keeping with the ritual OF the
order Red Cross Lodge No. So of the
Knights of Pythias held its annual
services in memory of the dead on Sun
day afternoon and a large number of
the members of the lodge and their
friends attended the solemn and impress
i've services held at Castle Hail. In
honor of the service the hall was beau
tifully decorated with palms and flowers
and the service was in charge of Chan
cellor Commander Eric Herth and the
other officials of the lodge. The must
cal numbers rendered by a male quar-
tette were of very appropriate
nature.
The annual eulogy was delivered by
the Hon. William E. Smieding, judge
of the municipal court of Racine coun-
ty and widely known among Pythians
of the state. In his address Judge
Smieding referred especially to the
teaching of the order and of the work
that had been done by the Pythians in
uplifting the moral standard of its
members. He spoke of the sentiment
of concentrating the lives of the mem
bers who had gone before and referred
to the faithfulness of the members of
the order in keeping bright in their
memories the lives of the deceased
brothers. After the ceremonies at the
hall the members of the order went to
the cemetery and decorated the graves
of the deceased brothers with flowers
and with the flag of the order. The
list of graves decorated included those
of Frederick W. Engel, John Crook,
William Frenz, Emil Beyersdorfer, Cor
nelius Issets in the City cemetery; Hi
ram Hitler in Oakwoods cemetery at
Somers; W. H. Smith at Joliet; DR.. w.
R. Cheever at Waukegan, and John J.
Puelicher at Milwaukee.

the services at the hall.

KenOsha has had one summer this
year in March and it was lucky for the
farmers on some of the rural mail
routes that it came just when it did.
Ordinarily the roads in many sections
of the county are all but impossible
In that month, but this year they were
IN better shape than they have been
IN long time and they were at their
best just when the inspection of the
condition of the highways was ordered
by the postoffice department and the
men whose duty it is to report on them
were enabled to send in a first class
statement on the conditions under
which the rural carriers are working
In this county with a clear conscience.
1t was lucky for some parts of the
rural routes that conditions happened
to be so favorable for parts of some
of the routes in this county have been
severely criticised by the inspectors of
the postofice department ever since
the rural routes were first put in opera
ton in the county and it would have
surprised no one connected with the
rural service in this county to have had
rural delivery service discontinued in
all parts of the county where repairs
have not been made on the highways
since the last inspection. 1t would
have been a serious matter for those
who had their service cut off, too, for
the great rush for the rural service is
over in the department now and the
officials are paying more attention to
those alree9y operating than they ever
have before since the service was es-
tablished and the department was
swamped with the demands for the
routes and when any route is once dis
continued for cause it is not an easy
matter to get the inspectors to pass
1t again

President Cobb of the National
Tariff Commission Association says
that in his opinion "conditions in
Washington justify an earnest effort
on the part of all who are interested
in the establishment of a tariff com
mission to secure legislation at this ses-
sion of congress" Then by all means
let the effort be made. If, as Mr..
Cobb says, fully 80 per cent of both
houses and both parties favor the prin-
ciple of such commission it ought to
be possible to overcome the opposition
of the hostile 10 per cent.
If congress were amenable to the
popular desire it would make immedi-
ate provision for a permanent tariff
commission. The country has had
enough of logrolling, trading tariffs.
1t was gratifed by the assurance of
the Republican platform that the tariff
was to be revised on the basis of the
difference in the cost of production at
home and abroad. 1t would be salts
fed with duties levied on that basis.
A large proportion of the Republican
voters object to the Payne-Aldrich law
because congress did not have the in
formation which a tariff commission
would have procured, and for lack of
that information did not lower many
duties which should have been lowered.
1t congress were to pass law at this
session creating tariff commission it
would allay Republican discomfort It
would be promise to the country that
it should have in the near future a
scientific honest revision of the tariff,
based on trustworthy data. There is
bill before the ways and means com
mittee to establish tariff commission.
A decent regard for the interests of
their party and for the public senti-
ment should move the standpatters !"
who control the committee to report it
out SO that there could be an oppor-
tunity for its passage.-Tribune.

There is an ordinance somewhere in
transit through the council which
comes under the head of unfinished
business which when it is passed, if it
ever is, may properly be marked "de-
layed in transit The old council
started to pass this ordinance and we
believe that it was given one reading,
but the press of unfinished business
which always comes up before an cleo
tion when the membership of that body
is to be changed made it necessary to
put the matter up to the new council
and since the election the ordinance
has never been acted upon. We refer
to the new building code of the city
and this ordinance should be called up
and disposed Of without any further
delay. It is unfortunate that it was
not put in force long ago before the
new building season opened. 1t may
be that this delay is caused only by
the Discrimination of the members Of
the council to tackle the long and
wearisome task of giving this measure
the necessary reading before putting
it on it's passage and it is to be hoped
that this is the only obstacle to the
passage of the ordinance and that the
aldermen will see fit to take it up and
put it through in the near future.
This measure is the product of the la
bors of special committee appointed
by the council and made up of men
who are experts in the particular lines
covered by the ordinance The mem
bers of the committee were chosen
with reference to their special fitness
for the work required of them in draw
ing up the ordinance. They held any
number of meetings and went into the
subject thoroughly and it is conceded
by men who have examined it and
who are competent to judge that
the ordinance submitted to the
council after year of work by
this committee is complete in every de-
tail. 1t covers every contingency
which is at all likely to arise in the
future and if it is passed it will give
Kenosha building code which is far
in advance of those of most cities of
its class in the country and one which
will not have to be revised for years.
1t is surprising that the workingmen
of the city for whose protection this
ordinance is primarily drawn have not
demanded the passage of some measure
along the lines of this ordinance long
ago and it is even more surprising that
the unions of the men in the building
trades have not shown more interest in
this measure under discussion and de-
manded action on it before the open
ing of the building season. The in
difference shown by the men who should
be the most interested in securing
complete building ordinance for the
city may result in this measure being
killed or allowed to lie in the council
until another perfectly preventable
accident such as originally caused the
demand for revision of the building
laws of the. city to cover changing con-
ditions in the building trades and led
to the appointment Of the special com
mittee. arouses. public sentiment again.
Then the. ordinance will be passed by
the council in rush and every mem
Der of that body will deny any re-
sponsipiiity for the delay.

COLORED TEACHERS
 READING CIRCLE

The Colored Teachers Reading Circle met Tuesday afternoon at the Merrill school. President William Townsend presided. Professor Short CT gave us an address, which was both timely and thoughtful on the subject, "A Synoptical Review of Mis- takes in Teaching" He emphasized the thought of teaching against driv- ing. He urged the teachers to have the pupils think and conclude for themselves, and then the school room will be Temple of Joy, having lost all of it's drudgery. Prof. o. w. Fields, Mrs. l.. c. Brunette and Mrs l.. c. Cockerham discussed the paper. bringing tn the methods for good order in the school room. Professor Cayer gave Us his opinion that tn" spelling contest would be more pleas ing and inspiring were the boys on one side and girls on the other. Professor Townsend gave the loach- CTS a strong talk on self control. He also urged the teachers to attend the State Teachers Association. which convenes in the Capital City on De eember g. NJ R.
