For deciding the Panama libel case
against the government, Col. Roose-
yeltcalled Judge Anderson of Indiana
'seither a jackass or a scoundrel. :"
Now the supreme court of the United
States has unanimously decided the
same way, thus fixing forever the
right Of publishers to be tried for
libel at the place where the libel was
committed-namely at the place of
publication. This is the most import
ant victory ever won by the press of
the country. Had the decision been
the other way, the big interests of the
country could have bsnkruptei any
newspaper which offended them. The
colonel lost his head in the fight
against the New York World.

Manners of the Bow.

For some reason many mothers do
not give the same attention to the
manners of their sons as to those of
their daughters. Yet the boys train
ing is even more important than
those of the girl. The majority of
young men leave their homes shortly
after they come of age. and many
leave before that period, and they
come into contact. into Intimate asso-
citation frequently, with men who have
had but little training in the nice
ties of life, and all too frequently
these evil communications corrupt the
good manners of the more fortunate
class. But the boy who is trained to
courtesy from his childhood can be
trusted in any environment.

DAYLIGHT SALOON BILL.

While the fate of the daylight saloon
bill remains that of the vote on its call
on special order the last day of this
month, the sentiment among the mem
hers since they have been home getting
inspiration, appears to be more favor
able to the enactment of such meas
ure than it did before they left. But
that is not any indie alton of what will
occur when the bill gets down to final
action. The chances are that it will
not go through, at least as an emer-
gency measure unless it is amended to
later hour than o'clock.

SIGNAL TOWERS
TO AID RANGERS
Wisconsin First of Western

TO PREVENT FIRE SPREAD
State Forester Griffith Makes Known
Plans for the Immediate Erection
of Six-WiII Be Constructed
on Concrete Bases.

Madison.-Wisconsin will be the
first of western states to use signal
towers as an aid to prevention of for
est fires State Forester E. M. Grit
fiths upon his return from a trip to
northern Wisconsin made known
plans for the immediate erection Of
six steel towers, similar to Windmills.
at as many high points of land in the
state forest reserves in Villas and ad-
joining counties. They will be con-
structed on concrete bases.
A platform at the top of the towers
will be inclosed with string of wires
stretched at right angles to form
squares, each wire to be numbered
At dry periods forest rangers will be
stationed in the towers to search the
landscape for 20 miles around for
smoke from forest fires. When smoke
is discovered, the watcher will denote
it's position with respect to the cross
ing of two of the wires in his lookout,
and map at hand will tell him in a
moment the corresponding position of
the smoke as to town and range num-
bers. A telephone will be installed in
the tower, and the watcher will be
enabled to call up his associate
rangers nearest to the fire, who will
take steps to extinguish the fire at
once.
This method of prevention, which
is entirely new in this part of the
United States, has been tried in Maine
with marked efficiency. It's success in
Villas county is believed to be assured
also.
The building of fire lines is going
on rapidly in the states reserves. A
strip of woods not exceeding 25 feet
wide is cleared, the strip extending
usually from lake to lake, thousands
Of which dot the region named. The
fire lines are intended to prevent the
spread of surface fires and also give
the patrols a vantage point from
which they may fight the flames Each

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or. failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention Of Captain Grobl,
German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rife which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming Of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that it
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power Of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has q stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge cased
in India rubber.

Warden Resigns From States Prison.


Henry Town rendered his resigna-
ton as warden of the state prison to
the state board Of control at it's SEES
sion at Waupun Warden Towns res
ignation was accepted. A successor
has not yet been named.
Warden Town denies that formal
charges of any nature had been pre-
ferred against him or that any such
charges had precipitated his resigna-
ton. Denying rumors that President
Graebner Of the board of control had
received his resignation three weeks
ago, Mr. Town declared that he had
not handed his resignation to the
board at that time He made no ex-
PLANTATION of his action.
Despite denials by members of the
board, conditions at Waupun have
been far from peaceful for some time
past Recently Rev. Daniel Woodward
predicted a most sweeping probe of
the institutions management, but
President Graebner was equally insist
ent that the prophesy was without
foundation. Warden Towns resigna-
ton clears the atmosphere and prob
ably will obviate further action.
Persons close to prison affairs say
that practically all the guards were
united in criticising the warden, and
that except for his resignation, charges
would have been pressed, the board
being ready to sift them if formally
presented.
Rev. Daniel Woodward of Omro, a
member of the board Of control has
been placed in charge of the prison
temporarily
