Madison.-Charles P. Cary, state
superintendent of schools, has issued
a broadside against the University OF
wisconsin, as part of a series of let
ters relating to school matters which
he began two years ago.
The letter is addressed 'to the
teachers and the general public
Supt. Cary declares there is dan
Ger that the university Will ultimate
ly conduct the state, instead of the
state conducting the university.
He calls the institution a pam
nered child, and says the state gives
st money continually and that the
institution at times does not know
what to do with it.
A further charge is made that the
news of the university is suppressed
until the people who maintain it do
not know how the institution is con-
Quoted and what strides it has made
His letter ends with a warning that
instead of a state university we shall
have university state. He says the
people should have that if they want
it, but he deems it his duty to warn

CITYLICENSEF FOR PEDDLERS
Case of Transient Merchant Arrested
at Lake Mills Argued Before the
Federal Court at Madison.

Mathematician as to right of
Judge A. L. Sarborn of United States
district court to sit in the case OF the
city Of Lake Mills against Frank
Cloud, transient merchant, was ar
gued today in federal court.
Cloud was arrested at Lake Mills
for selling medicines without first
procuring city license. He petitioned
the federal court to issue a writ of
habeas corpus directing the chief OF
police of Lake Mills to release him
and the petition was granted.
Cloud Immediately brought suit in
the federal court on the ground that
the city ordinance is in violation of
the constitution of the United States
and the state of Wisconsin and that
the ordinance is unreasonable, extor-
tionate and prohibitory in that it
provides for a daily license fee
of $25
The city of Lake Mills contends
that the question is one for state
courts and not federal court. Judge
Sanborn will decide the case early in
December.

PICTURE FILM STARTS FIRE
Many Lives Endangered b. Blaze in
Enterprise Building, Milwaukee
Loss Is $4,000.

Milwaukee.-The explosion of a
film in the Office of a moving picture
concern in the Enterprise building,
Second and Sycamore streets, started
a fire which endangered the lives of
hundreds of occupants of the build
ing and caused damage estimated at
275, 700.
That the building did not burn
was due to the prompt work of the
fire department and the fact that
the building is of the fireproof kind.
The fire started on the third floor.
After burning the woodwork the
flames leaped from the windows and
licked up the woodwork outside the
windows of the floor above. The
floors in the building are IL inches
thick and of concrete and the fire
could not communicate otherwise
than through the windows.
More than 5000 films, which are
used to send out to moving picture
theaters in this section, are said to
have been destroyed

Odd Shavino Habits.

1t is said that OF the men who shave
themselves not one In fifty can use
the razor with both hands. An Ameri-
can well known In commercial circles
in New York has confessed that he al
ways shaves himself standing In a
corner of the room and facing the
wall. When he was poor country
boy he bought razor on the sly.
There was no mirror in his bedroom;
rather than let his people know what
he was about he faced the wall and
scraped away as best ne could. Once
accustomed to this method he never
needed a glass. Another American, a
senator, formerly a farmer, for many
years shaved himself sitting on a milk
1ng-stool and looking at his reflection
in bucket OF water. That was what
he did as boy and man on the farm,
and he says that he could not shave
standing up.

young victim sat emotionless, be-
traying no sign of tear, Chester

THERE WOMAN WAS SUPREME
When First Housekeeping Was Begun
She Properly Made Herself Mis-
tress of iabitation.

In Kipling's story Of the wild peo-
pie he incidentally gives the history
Of the first housekeeping. OF course
the wild MANN fact, he was dread
fully wild, but he didn't know it; his
descendants don't even know it now
took no cognizance of time; in fact,
time did not begin for him until he
met the woman
So soon as she realized the fact
that she had found her mate she told
him she did not like his wild ways OF
living and at once set about teaching
him better ways. She selected nice
dry cave and brought in an arnaful
of dry leaves to lie down on, instead
Of the heap of wet ones to which he
had been accustomed. She sanded
the floor OF that cave so beautifully
that the man could have written his
name on tiff he had a name and had
known how to write 1t.
She brought underbush and made a
nice fire In the back of the cave, a
fire that cracked socially and glowed
until it lighted up the whole dark
place. At the door of the cave she
hung the dried skin Of wild horse,
tail down, and then she said to the
man, who had been watching her
movements with stupid sort of hap
piness
Wipe your feet. dear, when you
come in; and now we will keep
house"
Kipling's story does not say the
man wiped his feet, but of course he
did; neither does it say he said he
did so; "Oh, what's the use?" of
course he did, for comparatively few
men from that day to this have wiped
their feet without being told to do so.
or without saying, aloud or under
their breath: ooh, what's the use?"
This wild woman's admonition has
come ringing down the corridors Of
time, repeated by every woman who
has had kitchen floor to scrub. Thus
was the nagging habit formed, habit
from which woman, as a class, never
has been able to free herself, though
individual women have done so, but
that's another story."-New York

The assertion by President Taft that
the recent Supreme court decisions
have brought about an era of compe-
tition is answered by Mr.. Roosevelt,
who declares that such a result is
neither possible nor desirable.
The recent suit for the dissolution
Of the United States Steel corporation
is an evidence Of chaotic government
policy as regards business. Mr.. Roose-
welt declares.
Mr. Roosevelt lines up fatty against
Attorney General Wickersham and the
law officers of the present adm1nlstra-
ton by declaring he was not deceived
In permitting the Tennessee Coal q
Iron merger, which is one OF the
grounds on which Wickersham has
asked the dissolution OF the United
