PUBLIC ROLLER TOWEL MUST GO

The deadly public roller towel must
go! In the May issue of the Cru
sader, the monthly publication of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, a campaign is started to abolish
this filthy type of wiping cloth in pub
lie places. The public drinking cup
has been put out of business, the rul-
ing of the state board of health. eff
fective Septembe- l. being the out
growth of the newspaper and doc
tors agitation. The dirty public roll
Ter towel is another grave menace
to health and constant affront to
our sensibiiities," the publication de-
clares. "The roller towel fiourishes in
the places where it should not be al
lowed at all-in public lavatories or
hotels, restaurants and similar places
frequented by large number.
One of the maxims of the anti
tuberculosis crusader is: Wash your
hands before eating If towel looks
as if it had been used by a multitude,
don't use it. 1t is more than likely
that one consumptive at least has
wiped his hands and perhaps his
mouth on that towel You can better
afford TO take chance that your
hands are cleaner. 50 far as infection
is concerned, before than after using
dirty public towel.
The Crusader says that reform laws
are OF little use and are seldom en-.
forced until their reasonableness is
thoroughly understood, or before they

tenance of American prestige at home
and abroad will be confirmed and
made secure. President Taft is Civ
ing the country one of the very best
administrations it has ever had and he
should have congress in full SYM
pathy with him. Every insurgent
elected to congress stands pledged to
act as an obstructionist Every vote
for such an candidate is vote to
tie the Presidents hands and prevent
him from fulfilling the solemn pledges
made by the party in it's national plat
form. Instead of being opposed and
hampered and harassed the President
IS entitled TO a vote of confidence
and to have his hands strengthened
by a majority in congress thoroughly
identified with him in thought and
purpose. Mr.. Kennedy should be re-
turned as a means to this end.
Other reasons for Mr.. Kennedy's
endorsement for another term might
be cited, but these are sufficient for
the present. His capability, expert
ence and efficiency. his affiliations,
standing and advantages, his relations
TO President Taft and the national
administration and the fact that he
stands for the things thoroughly be-
lieved in by vast majority of his
constituents are unanswerable argn-
ments why he should be given the
preference over anyone else.

KENNEDY FoR coNeREss.

Hon. C. A. Kennedy is now serving
his second term as representative of
this district in the house at Washing
ton and is before the party and the
people for denomination and re-elec-
ton for two years more There are a
number of cogent reasons why he
should be retained in his present
capacity
/. He is gentleman of unimpeach-
able character, fine native ability,
good education and valuable expert
ence as a legislator. In the practical
discharge OF the duties devolying up
on him, first as member of the Iowa
legislature for two terms and later as
a member of congress for the same
length of time, he has demonstrated
I beyond all question his capability, eff
ficiency and fidelity He has also ac-
quired a knowledge of public affairs
which no man outside legislative halls
could possibly possess and has gained
an insight into legislative methods
which gives him an immense adyant-
age over any new man. His knowl-
edge and experience qualify him for
still better work in the future and
assure that the First district will be
potent at the national capital if he is
continued as its representative.
2 1t is a well known fact that i'm
portant and desirable committee as
signments. affording opportunity to in
fluence legislation at its fountain
head, come only with continued and
prolonged service Mr.. Kennedy has
been especially fortunate in securing
q place on the rivers and harbors com
| mittee, which controls all appropria-
| tons for the navigable rivers of the
country and all improvements thereof
in progress or in contemplation. The
subject of river Improvement. par
ticularly insofar as it involves the Up
per Mississippi and especially as it
! relates to the construction of an i'm
mense dam across the river at Keo-
kuk, is one of vital interest to the
people of the First district. In case of
/ Mr.. Kennedy's denomination and re-
election there is every assurance that
ne win be retained on this important
committee and advanced in its mem
bershiD. He will also be given places
on other important committees and
thus be in position TO influence legisla-
ton for the benefit of his constituents
new man could not hope for such
recognition and the district in con
il sequence would suffer in prestige and
potency Beyond all doubt or cues

return Mr.. Kennedy to congress ratla.
er than to set him aside for a new.
untried and inexperienced representa-
tive.
g. II is also TO the advantage of the
First district to continue Mr.. Kennedy
as It's representative because no is
identified with the national admins.
