At its final meeting the Dane county
board complied with some of the rec
concentrations of the state board of
control relative to improving conditions
in the county Jail. It decided to give
the walls and cages a fresh coat of
paint and to provide new sheets and
blankets. The board took no action on
the recommendation to improve the
bathing facilities. The question of es-
tablishing county training school for
teachers was referred back to the COM
mittee on education with instructions
to report at the November session. At
the request of Supervisor Allen the
proposition to unite with Jefferson
county for a joint school will be inves-
tigated. The board refused to change
the salary of j G Shampnor, county
highway commissioner, from 81 per
diem to 500 per month.

HON. S. A. Cook in his address to
the voters of Wisconsin in furtherance
of his candidacy for the United States
senate, makes mention of certain facts
in the history of the republican party
that it is well to remember just now in
these days of political confusion. He
says: 81 believe in government by
parties and government of parties by
majorities. | maintain that the major
tiles of the republican party always
have been in the right. The majority
was right in 1864 when minority fac
ton attempted to compass the defeat
of Abraham Lincoln. The majority was
right in 1872 when another minority
under the leadership of Horace Greedy
adopted the cry anything to beat
Grant, as its campaign Shibboleth. 1t
was right in 1884 when mugwump
minority accomplished the defeat of
James G. Blaine and secured the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland to the presi-
dency. It was right in 1896 when a
minority walked out of the republican
convention and into oblivion in support
of their belief in the free silver heresy.
believe the majority is right today in
supporting President Taft in his efforts
to carry out the politics and redeem the
pledges contained in the party platform
of 1903" The above recitation of po-
litical history is given for our instruc-
ton and it is hard to cavil against it.. -

AFTER all that mass of political cor
ruption in Illinois has been cleared
away and the CRATER run down and
punished, what great satisfaction can
the Chicago Tribune derive from it?
But for the opposition of such papers
as the Tribune, Senator Hopkins, the
primary choice Of the state, would have
been reelected and the great state
saved the scandal and humiliation of an
unholy alliance with the democratic
minority which were ready to sell their
votes to the highest bidder. Can that
great newspaper escape criticism for
helping make the conditions it now
condemns?

DIVORCES in Wisconsin are increas-
ing apparently at a rapid rate. 1t is
estimated authoritatively that one out
of every eleven marriages in this state
results in divorce. This estimate is
based on divorce statistics compiled by
DIR. J. C. Harper of Madison, secretary
of the Wisconsin state board of health
and vital statistics, for the report of
the board. The principal cause of di-
vorce is cruelty. That was given as
the cause of 1872 per cent of the di-
vorces granted during the last year for
which statistics are available. Deser-
ton was given in 1876 per cent of the
cases, drunkenness in 5.3 per cent, ne
glect to provide maintenance in "A per
cent and unfaithfulness in 2.6 per cent.
The wife was the complainant in about
four out of five cases.

nouncement that an air-cushion, one to
be used on each of the four corners of
a car, has been perfected by George
Westinghouse of Pittsburg, by which
steel tires may be used instead of rub

necessary to comfortable travelling.
Mr. Westinghouse record as an in

that, by the use of his air-cushions, the
expense of running motor cars can be
reduced at least so per cent.

Fun in the Making
Humorist Tells How His Joke

\ man who makes a fairly good lv-
ing by writing humor for the newspapers
and ma gaines was recently approached
10y a straight, newspaper man and
asked to give his method for grinding out
humor.
I'm glad you came right to the point y
he replied, because most people fight
shy of the question direct, so / may re-
tort with a so-called witticism. For in
stance many will ask, How do You
manage to see so much humor in life?'
simply because they have heard 1 have
a stock answer for the question. Stock
answers are splendid things to have
around-one may be funny without eX-
crtion. To the question 1 have cited

so often that il must now be all broken
up.
Again, I'm often asked if it Is hard
TO write Jokes. OF course it is not, in
these days of typewriters, when bad
spelling is permissible; but it is hard TO
sell -em. The greatest setback of the
Joke business is the get-back. The world
is full OF humorists: buttonholers, any
way. But there are few punishable hu-
morists Nearly every comic paper is to

i don't mean to imply. however. that
nothing funny ever gets into print.

jokes bring from 30 cents to one dollar
