Describing the aim of the socialists
in Milwaukee, Mayor Seidel said in an
interview in the east: Our policy has
been just this: Every office that has
to do with matters of policy shall be
filled by a social democrat, for that is
no more than a natural proceeding if
we intend to carry out the party plat
form. But every office that requires
an expert is filed by the best expert
we can get no matter to what party he
belongs. We succeeded in getting the
United States government to release
DR.. William Colby Rucker, who as san
itary inspector did such remarkable
work with the bubonic plague in San
Francisco and the yellow fever in New
Orleans. We have made him health
commissioner of Milwaukee. That is
a good example" If this be socialism,
let US have more of it.

OF course it required business genius
to build up such enormous mercantile
establishments as Wanamaker built in
Philadelphia. Marshall Field in Chi
cago and other similar Establishments
which are known the world over.
But their business genius of itself
would never have made these mer-
chant kings famous nor made them
kings OF trade. They became famous,
their names became familiar to the
people in their own cities, in their own
country and Throughout the world for
the simple reason th8t-
They advertised!
Think for 2 moment what a dismal
failure any Of the great business en-
terprisss OF our modern cities would be
if they never advertised.

The Missouri; Mule.

If the judgment of a jury is to be
relied upon, the far-famed Missouri
mule, always first in war and never at
>peace, is almost as good an investment
as an old master. 1t apparently does
not deteriorate with age. For jury
has fixed the value of a specimen %
years old and stone blind at $125. OF
course, it's a railroad company that is
called upon to pay. The mule, by name
Stonewall Jackson, tried conclusions
with Rock Island train and came off
second best. It's owner sued and set
forth feelingly that Stonewall as serv-
iceable blind as any other mule with
two whole eyes, and according to the
acturial tables Of muledom was good
for many years more work, even
though he had been born about the
time Cleveland was inaugurated.
Moreover, he maintained, Senator
Vest and his poem to the contrary not
withstanding, mules were kind and gen
tie, better friends TO mankind than
dogs, and Missouris chief claim to dis
tinction. And the jurymen agreed with
him.

Origin of the Immunity Bath.

1t is interesting to trace the source
of strange customs and the fictions of
the law. Laymen have been inclined
to watch what may have been the
source of the modern theory regarding
the immunity bath, that protecting
thing thrown around those who CON
fess and escape punishment 1t now
seems that the practice originated in
Kansas. From the archives of the State
Historical society Secretary George w.
Martin has dug up the following au-
thentic record:
A justice of the peace, located in a
frontier town, it is said, would marry
a couple one day as justice of the peace
and divorce them the next day as a
notary public. One day man came
into his office and surrendered. Il

Travel in Paris.

There are nearly half a million
horses and motor vehicles in Paris to-
day, with 10000 hand carts and 5000
wheelbarrows. In 1903, 65,S70 acct
dents were caused in the Paris streets
by S1,S6S vehicles These statistics
are contained in report drawn up by
Emile Massard at the request of the
Paris municipal council on the encum-
berment of Paris streets.
One Of NJ. Massard's calculations
shows that the street traffic in Paris,
if stationary, would occupy AS acres
of the 2,079 acres of streets which
Paris possesses. Last year 600,000,000
persons travelled by omnibus and tram
way and there were 294,000000 pas
sengers on the underground railway.

words:
Is the republican party afraid to
trust the voters next fall with full
knowledge of the sources of its con-
gressional campaign fund?
The answer is found in the action of
the conference committee. The repub-
hcan party in congress is afraid to
open the books until after the ballot
boxes are closed. There is no other
explanation of its refusal to make con-
tributions public before election as well
as after election.
