As It Anpeared in Print.

Senator Newlands of Nevada was
soaring in debate one day, soaring so
high he hit the ceiling" He realized
he was getting a trifle fiowery and to
excuse himself said: Indeed, MIR.
President, perfervid oratory may be
pardoned, for this subject furnishes
all the food eloquence needs"
THAT sounded pretty good to Mr..
Newlands, but he was a bit abashed
when he read in the Congressional
Record next day that he asserted his
topic furnished all the food elephants
need"

Has a Newspaper Bill.

Senator Gaylord has been working
on a bill that he will introduce in the
senate which provides for the publ
cation of the names of the stockhold-
ers and directors of newspapers. Sen
ator Gaylord when questioned regard
ing the bill lodged the question. His
fellow Social Democrats, however,
claim that the object of the bill is to
give the public knowledge of those

they can judge whether there is any
selfish motive back of editorials

State Fair Board Must Pay Bad Debt,

Another glazing instance Of mis-
management by the state board
of agriculture was revealed when 1t
developed that the members of the en-
tire board would have to pay $1,000
out of their own pockets because the.
managers and the secretary neglected
to require an indemnifying bond of a
contractor who failed to pay for mate
rial and labor used in carrying out a
contract for the erection Of building
on the Atate fair grounds.
The neglect of the managers and
the secretary to follow the law was
the principal matter of discussion at
a meeting of the full board. The de-
faulting contractor was a West Allts
man, who was given a contract for
furnishing the material and erecting
the building for $4,000. He was not
required to give a bond to indemnify
the state against any claims arising
from the contract. The law clearly
requires that if the board does secure
such bond they are personally liable
for subsequent claims arising from the
contract After finishing the building
the contractor was paid the $4,000
Then he disappeared.
President George McKerrow and
Secretary True of the board admitted
that the contractor had not been re-
quired to give bond, as the law pro-
vided, but attempted to excuse the
neglect by saying that he had exc
cuted other contracts with the board
without giving bond and they
thought he would do so this time.
President McKerrow suggested that a
committee be appointed to present the
matter to the legislature and ask for
the passage of a bill authorizing the
board to pay the $1,000 out Of the
funds of the board.

proareesIves to Organize League.

A Wisconsin branch of the
rewly organized National Pro
gressive Republican league will be
launched within few days, with an
initial membership which will be rep
resentatiye Of the progressive Repub
lican majority in the state legislature
This was determined at meeting
here between Gov. Francis E. McGov
ern, one Of the signers Of the national
organizations roll, and number of
senators and assemblymen. Charles
H. Crownhart of Superior, who man,
aged Senator La Follettes primary
campaign last fall, was present as the
personal representative, it is said, of
the junior Wisconsin senator.
Those present at the conference
were Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Morris of La
Crosse, Senators A. w. Sanborn of
Ashland, w. c. Owen of Maiden Rock.
John J. Baline of Boscobel, Henry
Krumrey of Plymouth, Speaker G. A.
Ingram of Durand, Assemblyman J. w.
Mcconnell of La Crosse and G. H.
Crownhart. Others will be invited to
later conferences, and all have been
bound by an agreement not to divulge
the action taken until everything is
ready"
1t is said that the lines upon which
the Wisconsin branch are to be
formed have been laid down by Sen
ator La Toilette with considerable
dedniteness.
Gossip already is busy regarding
the successor to N. s. Gibson as mem
Der of the state tax commission. Two
names are Standardization George
Bruce of Milwaukee and T. S. Lyons
of Superior The former is secretary
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Milwaukee and Mr..
Lyons formerly was city attorney at
Superior
In view of the resignation of Judge
Gibson it is now believed that Com
missioner George Curtis, Jr., who
heretofore was said to have been
slated for retirement, will be reap
pointed, otherwise the board would
contain but one experienced member,
Nils p Haugan. 1t also is reported
that c.. H. Crownhart, who recently
was said to be slated for Curtis
place, is not anxious for the appoint
ment, but rather prefers place on
the industrial insurance commission
which will be created by the passage
of the workmen's compensation act

Senator Clapp of the committee Of
Indian affairs, offered a resolution that
it was the sense of the senate that
the restriction on the sale of timber
on Indian lands should be removed
which was adopted. The removal of
the restriction gives the secretary of
the interior power to approve of con-
tracts. The sale of timber was held
up during the investigation of the
committee made about year ago into
the conduct of the affairs of the IN
dams in Wisconsin.

will it be before we city dwellers have
to buy our fresh air in cor geaIed cakes
and pay dearly for what we get, plus
the weight of the scales?''
Mr.. Ashley spoke of tho necessity of

cities and pointed to Washington as an
example of excellence in city planning.

better morals 1.-The monotony Of

which nature paints, the lack of a
breath of fresh air write despair on
many a face, and engrave it on many
a heart"

NO CHICKENS FOR TAFT.
St. Louis Reception Committee Finds
Poultry Too Expensive.

St. Louis, Aug. S.-There is joy I'M
confined in the serried ranks of yellow
legged chickendom, Tor be it known,
10000 of them are not going to give
up their lives to make q Taft holiday
They cost too much.
When the president visits st. Louis
this fall, he and his admirers VIII no.
dine off drum sticks and breasts, but
will appease their appitites with bar
becued beef, or plain, ordinary beef
This has not been decreed officially,
but it has been given out by the Taft
reception committee that the rumOr OF
a chicken barbecue is a snare and
delusion. The committee pondered the
chicken proposition long and hard, and
the longer they thought about 1t the
more like a dollar mark a chicken be-
gan to look. They concluded beef
wasn't so bad after ali.
why, it would cost us $4,000 or
more TO feed chickens to the thou
sands who will attend the president S
reception" said one member Of the
committee. -
I'VE have been informed by poultry
commission men that if we were gong
to have a chicken barbecue Tor mat
vast throng we would have to be CIV
ing our orders now so that enormous
number of fowls might be put in cold
storage as they come in.
1t is planned to have President 1alt
visit st. Louis on October 3. Governor
Hadlev will be here and it is hoped
TO have the executives of nearby states
also, visit the city at that time.

MARBLE WORKERS GO OUT.
Eject on Building Industry May BE
Very Unfavorable.

New York. Aug. s.-With the begin
ming this week Of a general strike OF
marble cutters. polisners and rubbers
the New York building trade faces its
first serious labor struggle in several
years. 1t is feared that a general var
in the building industry may follow.
The marble workers seek an i'll
crease of 90 cents a day in their wage
scale and also ask for certain regula-
tions which the employers consider Oh .
pressive and Impossible. Among these
is one to the effect that the superin
tendents on work must be members of
the union and another is that in cases
where charges are made against en-
ployers of violating an agreement the
employers may be the judges in The
first case, but in all subsequent cases
the union is TO be the Judge
About $500 men viii go out when the
strike order takes effect. and 5.001
workers in other trades will be forced
into Involuntary idleness until the diff
ficulty is settled.
The wages of the marble workers at
present range from 50 to $50 per day.

Woman Mayor of Hunnewen Wants
COuncilmen Ousted.

Hunnewell. Kan. Aug Sat the
close of last nights meeting of the city
council. Mrs Wilson telegraphed to
Governor Stubs to begin custer pro-
ceedings against the members of the
Hunnewen council. This is the long

who refused to recognize her.
You fellows evidently are not here
for business. You do not know your
time has come. but 1 do Mrs. Wilson
told the councilmen when the meet
ing opened.
You must get out or help me run
the town" she asserted. and when one
of the councilmen attempted to ridi-
Guile her. she made him quit and sit
down.
"I suppose that you represent the
viii of the people of this town" asked
J. F. Richardson. when the mayor We
toed an ordinance.
"Sit down" ordered M.s. Wilson, q
am mayor here"
Richardson sat down and he did not
interrupt the proceedings again. The
meeting accomplished nothing except
to pay for the repairs OH the town
pump, as the mayor would si@I no
ordinances passed by the council and
the council would do nothing the
mayor wished
In speaking of her own position and
her willingness to quit the mayoralty
under different conditions Mrs Wilson
said:
I'D be satisfied if custed from Of
flee. but I can't quit the battle under
the present conditions. 7 am tired of
the fighting Politics is not a woman's
place. but-Mrs. Wilson choked as she
ended-the men will find that wom-
an Will fight as long as anybody when
she once gets in politics."
