Cannot Use County jail

A new rule has been adopted by the
state board of control with respect to
persons taken into custody for exam
ination as to their sanity. The rule
directs that hereafter all persons sus-
pected of being insane must be taken
to the county asylum, and not to the
county Jail, while awaiting examina-
tiOn. Heretofore, the custom has
been to bring the patients to the
county Jail and keep such persons
there in charge of the sheriff until
their mental condition had been pass
ed upon by two doctors appointed by
the county judge. If the, person was
e. 1oa'gsrad .insslTaeiy he was taken 10 one
of the state hospitals, and if not SO
declared, was discharged. Now the
state board objects to any retention
in the county Jail, at all.
1t often happens that the patient
becomes very violent and must be
locked up for safety. There is no suit
able and safe place provided at some
of the asylums to meet the new re-
quirements, and it is probable that in
order to comply with the new order,
padded cells will have to be construct
ed to prevent injury to those who be-
come violent

Must Turn in Fees

Under the provisions of the new
law passed at the last session of the
legislature creating a fire and police
commission in cities Of the fourth
class the police officials Of such cities
will hereafter be compelled to turn all
fees collected from lawbreakers, into
the city treasury. The law adopts Sec
tions of the 1899 law which previously
affected only cities of the second
and third class. Under this law the
local police will not get any more
fees, their salary alone being the only
compensation given them. They may,
however, retain rewards when given
them
This provision will necessitate the
placing of warrants in other hands
than that of the city police, as it can
not be expected that the chief of po-
lice would go after criminal wanted
here and stand the expense of travel
out of his own pocket. The new law
will go into effect on July 1 when the
fire and police commission terms be-
gin. The appointment Of this commits
sion must be made by the mayor be
fore the first Monday in May. The
commission is to consist of five mem
bers, not more than three to be OF
one party

Back from the Navy

Lansing R. Stoll returned to his
home in Watertown Saturday evening
after having served four years in the
United States navy as a seaman on
board the battleship Maryland, re-
ceiving an honorable discharge at
San Francisco April Is. During his
term of enlistment he visited many
foreign countries which included a
trip around the world, covering dis
tance of about $4,000 miles. Some OF
the countries visited were Europe.
Asia, Africa, China, Japan, Chile,
Peru, Panama, Philippines, and South
Sea islands and was in South America
during the Honduras uprising. Mr..
Stoll says he is glad to get back to
Watertown, but does not regret the
four years service under Uncle Sam
in the navy, and thinks it a great
place for young man to receive train
ing and at the same time be given
an opportunity to see some of the
world.

Worst Storm of Season

The snowstorm Friday night and all
day Saturday was the worst of the
season. This section barley escaped a
blizzard and the extreme cold did much
damage to trees, shrubbery, vines and
flowers. The leaves on the shade trees
were frozen and it is probable that new
leaves will shoot out to take their place.
Those who made haste to make their
gardens anticipating continued warm
weather will in many cases be obliged
to do their work over again. If they had
read the weather prediction published
in the Leader, March 25th last, would
have been forwarned and saved by the
warming.

What is Personal Liberty?

We have Liberty League in the city.
1t is to be presumed, that the idea of the
members is, that personal liberty con-
sists IN violating law and interfering
with the social. moral and religious
rights OF their neighbor. According to
their idea the Ten Commandments and
the commends of the lowly Nazarine is
an interference with personal liberty.
The laws on the statute books placed
there by an enlightened conscience is
also an interference with the personal
liberty of few. Their idea is liberty
rights of society. % and vet thew appeal Ss 'to to
the law when some man Influenced by
their ideas, interferes with their rights.

The Big Head

Some nincompoop displeased the edi-
tor of one of our exchanges and he gets
back at him thusly:
'The big head" is popular way Of
expressing common and very frequent
ailment. It arisas from various sources
but the real foundation is a lack of
sense. A little money develops it in
some peoples few good clothes give it
to others; little office, where a chance
is given to exercise little authority, is
often the cause of it, while others get it
having little better job than their as
sOciates. The truth is no sensible per-
son gets the big head" The one who
becomes stuck up and stiff-necked from
sources of any kind, are weak in the
intellectual caIiber."

Time for Another Survey

It is about time that the government
send another high-priced employe Of the
treasury department at Washington, d.
D., out here to take measurements and
see if all of the site for the government
building yet remained-and then stake
it down again for another spell. 1t can
truthfully be said, that there is not a
single department at the national CAPT
tai, but that tries to do as little as possi-
BILE from the executive down. All activ-
ity is mostly pretense and wind to fool
the dear people who are beginning to
see things,

To Our Subscribers

With this issue of the Leader, it will
be noticed that it has been reduced in
size from seven column to six col
umn quarto. The high price Of paper
and the fact that there are large num-
Der of delinquent subscribers has made
the change necessary rs a matter of
economy. We shall publish all the news
as heretofore, but "boiled down." and
shall continue the features that have
made the Leader popular with all classes.
Those in arrears on their subscription,
will take this as a gentle hint to pay up,
as it ls impossible to run newspaper
without money, P. H. SWIFT.

Pupils Present Play

| On the evenings of May II and 10
the beautiful operetta Prince Charm.
! ing, will be produced at Turner Opera
house, by the pupils of Lincoln school
| ably assisted by Misses Genevieve
Mullen and Meta Radtke, and Mr.
Frank McAdams. The operetta con
sists Of catchy songs and spicy dia-
| logue, and, with it's atmosphere OF
| flower, fairy and moonlight, calcium
| lights and sweet music, it is decided
ly the most beautiful production ever
| seen on a Watertown stage.
Both teachers and pupils have
worked indefatigably for weeks to
make the play a success, and Judging
| from the great generosity already
met with among our citizens, it is safe
to say that crowded houses will greet
the children on both nights. The
operetta is presented under the able
management of Mrs. G. R. Field, with
Miss Lydia Pease at the piano.
Our citizens will have an opportun-
ity of hearing Miss Genevieve Mullen,
whose sweet voice and gracious man
ner have won for their owner such
deserved renown.
Mr.. Frank McAdams is we'll known
to Watertown audiences, having taken
part in number Of local plays. Miss
Meta Radtke very ably takes the part
of Queen of Tarts in which her sweet
voice is heard to good advantage.
All other parts are taken by pupils
of the school, the cast including one
hundred and forty.
There are groups of butterflies, vio-
let's, silver and gold, roses, fairies, val
entines, bridesmaids, tart-maids and
Indians. All are beautifully costumed
and have songs and drills to suit
their parts.
Through the generosity of Mr.
Wheler, Mr.. F. Bramer, and others,
orchestra music will be furnished as
an accompaniment.
The Davis Film Exchange very
kindly furnish calcium lights COM
plete, and without any compensation
The stores have loaned their choicest
decorations for the stage, which will
be made a thing of beauty under the
direction of Mr.. L. E. Wright, super
visor of art and manual training in
our schools.
The play consists of two acts. In
the first, Prince Charming is trans
ported to ClOudland in a dream. While
there he discovers that the beautiful
maiden, whose motor car had been
upset along the Milky Way, is no 9th
er than Maid Molly, one of the earth
maidens.
The prince, ST. Valentine, and
Cupid, form a plan by which he will
win Molly. Then Cupid and the
prince float across the sky in a moon
boat.
In act two, the prince carries out
his plan, and finally, Maid Molly sur
renders, after having been bound with
ribbons.
The object of the entertainment is
very deserving one. When the new
school was otherwise completed, it
lacked several finishing touches to
make it perfect, among them being a
piano.
The teachers decided to install
these things with the intention of Civ
ing an entertainment, and the sue
cess Of their efforts will be seen on
the above dates.
The sale of seats will begin in
few days, prices being SO, 35 and 25
cents

Revival in Progress

A real, old-fashioned revival is now in
progress at the English M. E. church
being conducted by Miss Caffray of
Chicago and Miss Pinnell of Whitewater.
There are large number in this city
who need the reviving influence of the
truth, and it is hoped that they will take
advantage of the opportunity to get into
touch with the higher and better life
the spiritual, which finds its expression
in living pure, holy lives and following
the Master as be has commanded.

Eclipse of Moon

A total eclipse of the moon will
take place on May %. 1t will be Wis
ible IN the United States and its to-
tality will take place when the earth
is directly between the sun and the
moons body. 1t is the black cone
shadow of the earth into which the
moon rushes that causes the eclipse,
as the earth's shadow is larger than
the moon even at that distance.
