The city administration ''put over"
its full slate of appointees to city jobs
at the last meeting of the council and
when you get right down to the right
and wrong of things that is just as
it should be as long as all of the af-
fairs of the city are managed on a
strictly partisan basis. The men who
are 60 be held responsible for results
should have the privilege of naming
their own assistants Theoretically,
anyway, they stand or fall on the
records made by the men they put into
Office and who represent those "high-
er up" before the people Also there
is no wise old adage that has closer
application in practical politics than
the one which declares that "to the
victors belong the spoils."

OFFICIALS ADMIT POSSIBILITY
Claims of All People Will be Settled
Up in Few Days and the Company
May Decide to Abandon Property
in Pleasant Prairie.

Men employed at the powder mills
at Pleasant Prairie have now all left
the village and this is taken as an
Indication that it is probable that the
stringent Wisconsin law in regard to
the manufacture and inspection of
powder is going to force the E. I. Du-
Point company to close up the plant at
Pleasant Prairie or at least to discon-
tinue the manufacture Of powder at
the plant.
One of the officials of the company
said this morning, eyes, the only men
connected with the company now at
Pleasant Prairie are hhe men who are
under salary and all the other men,
even including the engineers, have left
Pleasant Prairie and gone to other
points. Most of them will remain in
the employ of the company at the
plant at Hibbing. There have been alb
solutely no plans made in regard to
L
wheel has turned since the explosion
and you will readily see that the con-
ditions of the proposed law will have
the effect of practically driving the
company out Of business in Wisconsin.
We were making fourteen different
sizes of powder at the Pleasant
Prairie plant, but with the limited
storage permitted by the law it would
be impossible to keep sufficient powder
on hand to fill an order of any size.
There is no formal announcement on
the part of the company that the plant
will be abandoned for manufacturing
purposes, but you can see the condi-
tions that must surround any future
operation of the plant. The large in
vestment at Pleasant Prairie must be
taken into consideration, but even this
would not make it necessary for the
company to continue business if the
laws Of the state made the business
impossible Of profit. -
The departure of the battle Scared
powder workers from Pleasant Prairie
has caused great hope to come up
with some Of the people as they feel
certain that this action on the part
of the workmen is advance informa-
ton as to the feeling of the officials
of the company in regard to the re-
opening Of the plant. None of the
old employees would be released by the
company if they cared to work in other
plants as the force at Pleasant Prairie
was regarded as one Of the best in
the employ Of the company.
1t was stated today that the claims
Of people in the rural districts had
been practically cleaned up and a great
number of claims have been paid in
Kenosha. These claims of Kenosha
people will probably all be paid by
the end of the week. Only one claim
from-out of the state has been paid
by the company and this was claim
for damages for personal injury. Pat
rick Gleason, residing south of Rus
sell, I'LL, at the time of the explosion
was caught by falling door and had
one Of his legs broken. He made a
formal claim for his injuries and the
claim was adjusted and paid. 1t will
probably take three months more to
adjust and settle the out of the state
claims.
No figures are given out at this time
of the amount that has been expended
by the company in settling the claims
following the explosion.

vine tuberculosis in its relation to the
welfare of the live stock industry and
to It's influence on public health. The
economic Importance of the subject has
occasioned very great deal of dis
cussion in scientific and agricultural
circles and has led to the adoption by
various legislative and municipal bod
les of measures for the suppression and
eradication of this great scourge of do
mesticatad animals and for the protec-
ton of the people against infection
through the consumption of diseased
meat or polluted milk. It has long
been felt, however, that for the North
American continent a really efficient
and satisfactory program could only be
arranged and undertaken with any
prospect of uniform and permanent
success through concerted action on
the part of the governments of both
the United States and Canada, and on
ly also when the legislation enacted or
policy adopted was In substantial
agreement with expressed views of re-
preventative authorities of both coun-
tries.
The report referred to embodies the
deliberate conclusions of just such an
official and representative delegation
and both farmers and the public gen
orally are to be congratulated in hav-
ing now placed before them in most
concise and readable form a statement
containing an epitome of the research
es of the commission and of the recon-
mendations which it has at length de-
termined to make. The decisions which
have been reached are eminently con-
sentative in their nature and for this
reason, if for no other, they will exer-
else much stronger appeal than would
otherwise be possible, particularly in
the case of those who may for any rea
son be prejudiced against legislative in
reference. The prevalence Of the dis
ease and the consequent loss to the
breeders as well as to the now acknow-
lodged danger to public health, are not
minimized, but gravely acknowledged
and seriously considered.
Compulsory slaughter of infected an
imals is not advocated though the de-
struction of those showing clinical
symptoms Of the disease is advised.
Compulsory testing even is not insist
ed on, except in herds where the dis
ease is known to exist, though the use
fulness Of tuberculin, as reliable dag
nostic agent, when properly admins
tered, is confidently affirmed. A sufi-
cient explanation is Afven of the meth
DDS advocated and in order to safe
guard the interests of those now pos
sessing clean herds and of those max
ing an honest effort to establish such
herds, stringent precautionary measures
are recommended regarding the ship
ment, sale and interchange of stock.
The policy as presented is in every way
reasonable.
The fact that this report is likely
to form the basis of new policy short
ly to be adopted by the department of
agriculture at Ottawa should give it's
contents special interest for Cana
dian owners of cattle and swine.
