Wisconsin IS state board of health
has wisely decided to issue no permits
to hotel keepers to use roller towels
in their establishments-only indi-
vidual towels will be allowed. The
law of 1911 leaves this discretionary
with the board of health. All sorts of
skin and other diseases are disSemin-
ated through the medium of the hotel
roller towel-it savors of flthiness.
Even the roller towel in the print shop
has it's drawbacks.

The formal offer of the United
States government to furnish China
with $500 troops seems at this time to
be ill-advised. A struggle for
supremacy between the so-called
revolutionaries and the despotic Man
chu dynasty is being 6ercely waged
and they should be permitted to fight
it out-the United States should re-
frain from Interference. Our soldiers
die fast enough without loaning them
to foreigners to be butchered. -.

Seeing that the Headers" of the re-
publican party of this state, the men
who represent the ''big interests" and
the 'progressives" are all either
openly or covertly opposed to Presi-
dent Taft, it might be we'll for the
plain, everyday republicans of the
state to take hand in the game of
selecting delegates to the republican
national convention.

There is a possibility that Mrs.
Sarah Platt Decker, a suffragette.
may be elected United States senator
from Colorado to succeed Senator
Hughes. The situation seems to be
such that no male candidate can Sc
cure sufficient votes to elect and the
suffragists have consequently placed
a candidate in the field. A woman in
the senate chamber would likely prove
a blessing-her presence should deter
the insurgents from belching forth
such volumes of fire and birthstone.

The Maine inspection board has
come to the conclusion that the vessel
was blown up from the outside. AT
first it decided that the explosion &C.
Cured from the inside but has now
reversed it's opinion. Whether from
the outside or the inside no benefit
will be derived from the investi CATION.
The raising of the old hulk was a
sheer waste of money.

At clergymen's meeting in Mil
waukee the Methodist ministers we're
set agog and aghast by the suggestion
of the secretary of the Boys Busy

the youths will dance anyway
frequent places of questionable repute
for their terpsichorean diversion.

Public sentiment in this state, we
believe, is opposed to the employment
of convict labor in the Improvement
of our highways. It would be neither
feasible or profitable. There can be
no valid objection, however, to the en-

ing road material in the shape of
crushed rock at the prisons.

THE McNAMARAS PLEAD GUILTY.
Friends of organized labor every-
where are shocked and grieved over
the confessions of the McNamara
brothers at Los Angeles.
It will be remembered that the
Times newspaper Office in Los Angeles
was wrecked last summer and q lives
were lost. The Times had been viru.
lently opposed to labor organizations
and it was claimed that the building
had been dynamited by emissaries OF
organized labor. On the other hand
the labor people protested to believe
that an explosion of gas wrecked the
Times Office.
Several weeks after the catastrophe
at Los Angeles, on the strength of
evidence furnished by an informer,
Oiu1o L. N1C MdulSdl, tue MCNamara
brothers we're arrested in INDIANAPOLIS
and kidnapped to California. The
sensational arrest and abduction of
the Mcnamara brothers created great
excitement at the time and organized
labor protested vigorously against
the high-handed proceedings.
Clarence S. Darrow, Cbicago's
noted criminal lawyer, and other emil
nent attorneys we're retained to defend
the McNamaras, and $3.50, 1000 of de-
Tense fund was raised by members OF
labor unions all over the country.
Ninety-nine outn of every hundred
laboring men honestly believed that
the McNamaras we're not guilty and
that they we're being unjustly perse-

McKENZIE FOR COMMISSIONER.

: Owing to the regrettable death Of
Mr.. George Welsh, state commissioner
of immigration, the board of immi-
grafton will .bescalled upon. to name
his successor within few days. The
board consists of the governor, secre-
tary of state, state auditor, E. A.
Nelson of Minneapolis and George
B. Barnes, jr., of Campbell. =
AS the bulk of the vacant lands
owned by private parties, and prac-
tically all of the unsold state land is
located in northern Minnesota, it is
meet and proper that man from that
section should be appointed to sue
coed Mr.. Welsh, and who is better
qualified for the position than the
wide-awake secretary of the Northern
Minnesota Development association,
