STAMP SALE SOON
Christmas Seals to Be Placed
on Sale All Over the State
on November 18th
EXPECT TO SET HIGH RECORD

Monday, November 2Sth is the date
set for the opening of the 1910 Red
Cross Christmas seal campaign, by
which means the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber
culosis association hopes to replenish
it's working fund and continue in 1911
the battle against tuberculosis waged
SO aggressively during 1910.
Red Cross seals will be placed on
sale in every city, town and village in
Wisconsin. The price is one cent. It
is handsome sticker, printed in holi-
days colors, green and red, and bids a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. Every penny derived from the
sale will be devoted to fighting con-
sumption. Already $50 enthusiastic
citizens in as many towns have come
forward to superintend the sale and
from fifteen to twenty are being added
to the list of local campaign managers
daily. A local manager is wanted in
every community.
The Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION is out to double the great rec
ord made last year, when 100000
stickers were disposed of. This gave
Wisconsin the world S record for larg-
est sale in proportion to population.
All of the other states in the Union are
working to beat Wisconsin s record and
it is certain that this state will have
to double its sale this year to prevent
defeat.
The Red Cross seal is well worth
penny as an ornamental holiday greet
ing sticker, but it's greatest value lies
the fact that it is message of hope
to all the world in the battle against
consumption, and that the penny paid
for it will be used to help wipe tuber-
culosis out of Wisconsin. Every piece
of mail and every package and gift
sent during the campaign should bear
Red Cross seal.
The campaign ends on Christmas day.

The city attorney has been instructed
by the council to prepare an ordinance
to provide for the trimming of trees
and shrubs in the city at the expense
Of the property owners and it is GER
tain that this ordinance will be put
through at an early date. There is no.
thing in this ordinance which provides
that this work shall be done by men
who know anything about it and what
ever trimming it is necessary to do will
be done by the regular employees of
the city. Any one who loves trees and
can appreciate them at their true value
can imagine what a mess they will
make Of the job and how much damage
will be DONE At the same time the
city officials have practically been fore
ed to do something. Property owners
whose trees and shrubs encroach on
the walks and streets have been warned
to trim them time and again by the
street commissioners and have failed
to do so and there is nothing for the
city officials to do except to get ready
to attend to this work themselves. Pro
perty owners who have valuable trees
and shrubs needing attention would be
wise to attend to them at once before
this ordinance goes into effect. They
may save their trees from injury by SO
doing

Down town merchants have been
complaining that the small stores scat
tered about the outlying sections of the
residence districts have been getting
more than their share of the trade and
that many of their old customers either
patronize the small shops in the vic.
unity of their homes or transact their
business by telephone very seldom
coming down town so that the mer-
chant can get chance to show what
new goods he has in stock and work
up a trade in them. In the words of
the advertisement "there IS a reason''
for all this change in trading customs
and it is not necessary to search far
to find it. Every day there has been
any wind for the past month Main
street has been so filed with flying
dirt and dust that coming down town
to do any buying was an experience
that few daintily clad women cared to
undergo and the complaints of the dis
comforts and annoyances of shopping
trip under the circumstances have been
numerous and loud. This is something
that the business men in the down town
district cannot afford to tolerate for
any length of time and they will have
to do something to get rid of the dirt
In their streets. Besides the loss of
trade, the damage to their stocks from
the dust and dirt must amount to more
than the cost of keeping the streets in
fairly decent condition. It would
pay them to go into the street clean
ing business themselves if the city is
unable or unwilling to keep their
streets in such condition that there will
be fewer complaints from the people
who come down town to trade. Of
course the merchants and business men
are agreed that the conditions com
planned of are disgraceful and should
be remedied at once but what are they
going to do about it7

When the board of police and fire
commissioners were discussing the lack
of applications for positions on the po
lice force and the difficulty of getting
the right kind of men to take places
at their last meeting, it was suggested
more by way of joke than anything
else that it might be necessary for the
board to appoint women as police Of
ficers in order to fill up the force but
the suggestion that a woman be added
to the police department has struck
good many people who are familiar
with conditions in the city as not a bad
idea at ALL A woman with police pow
ers who could investigate some of the
dance hall and back rooms of saloons
and keep the young girls who now fire.
quent these places out of them could
do lot of good work in a quiet way
and would prove valuable aid to the
chief in this kind Of work. A smart
ing young girls could acquire more
knowledge of the under life of the city
and the traps set for the young in a
month than regular officer could hope
to get in long years of service. She
would not be expected to do any of the
rougher work of a, police officer and
the men on the force could be called
to her aid when any arrests were re-
quired but she would more than earn
her salary simply by keeping the child
rem Of the city out of places where they
have no business to be. This work
could be done quietly and without any
publicity for the parents OF the children
sent home by the woman Inspector
would see to it that they were not
caught again. 1t is not to be believed
that the parents of some of these child
rem know where and how they spend
their time when they are away from
home. If they did many of them
would soon disappear from their ac-
customed haunts never to return. Tt
would require a woman of quite unus-
ual abilities and tact to successfully
fill position of the KIND suggested but
if one can be found who promises to
fill the bill the board of police and fire
commissioners might try the expert
ment Of adding her name to the police
department pay roll.

Republican candidates might have
Jared better at the polls if the price of
meat had begun to fall before instead
of after the election. AS it is the
democrats are likely to "point with
pride" to the decline in price as the
immediate result of their victory. 1t
is true that earlier in the year the
secretary of agriculture and other re-
spectacle authorities assured the people
that there would soon be a change for
the better. But it did not come. In
stead bacon scared to unheard of
heights and the cost of living kept on
increasing.
In 1896 conditions were the reverse
of what they were this year. Then the
complaint was Of low prices. The farm
ers said they were getting too little
for their crops. The democrats claimed
to be their friends and assured them of
high prices if they would vote for the
free coinage of silver. They told them
better prices could be got in no other
way. Fortunately for the republicans,
wheat and corn began to go up before
the farmers did their voting. That
changed the votes of some who would
otherwise have voted for high prices as
measured by deprecated currency.
This year the democrats sympathiz-
ed with the people who resented high
prices and the increased cost of living.
Luckily for them the high prices kept
up until after election Let them now
claim the credit for cheaper meat if
they choose. 1t is of no consequence
who claims the credit as long as the
consumer gets the goods.-Tribune.

that he desires to obtain an expression of the wishes of his constituents upon tho subject "by postal or letter on or before Dec. ss'. and he promises. in effect. to comply with their wishes if expressed fin sufficient numbers"
 It Is manifestly improbable that he will receive anything like a complete expression from his constituents. or even from majority of them. Such an expression could only be secured by a special election. Much more to the purpose would 1t have been for MT. Peck to have announced. before the election. his preference for r. s. Sen ator and thus allowed the voters a chance to formally record their ap- proval or disapproval of hisAchoice.
 How would special elections, or pri- maries. upon the U. s. Senatorial ques- tion. result as between Bulkeley and Mclean in Fairfield county? Espe- cially. how would they result in the 2Sth district which is to be represented in the Senate by an avowedly Bulke- ley man? If we mistake not. the pop ular verdict. with the choice limited to Bulkeley and Mclean. would be the latter. but with an open field. it would probably be Hill.
 By the way. Senator Peck who hasn't expressed any preference although he has one. may be looking for a pretext to support Bu,keley.

and his Eskimos that he reached the
 Pole was the fact that they attained a point where the shadows at noon and midnight were of equal length
 "At noon," he says, "the shadow rep resented in it's length the altitude of the sun, about 12 degrees. At six o'clock it was the same. At midnight it was the same. At six o'clock in the morning it was the same. Let us, for the sake of argument, grant that all our instrumental observations are wrong. Here is condition of things in which I still believe the eye with out instrumental assistance places the sun at about the same height for every hour of the day and night"
 pr. Cook described how his two Eskimos played with the shadow cir cles. Here then," the Doctor con- cludes. q felt was an important ob- servation, it was not based on that dream of absolutely ac- curate time.
