Robbed BY Cellmate.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-John H. Gorro-
dan in a cell in the Tombs could not
appear for trial because his cellmate,
getting out first stole all his clothes.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-02-17

In CHICAGO, a boy went into groc-
cry and bought little sack of flour.
On going out of the door he slipped on
some ice on the doorstep and fell with
such violence as to break an arm.
Thereupon he sued the grocer for
so, 900 damages, which resulted from
his failing to keep the front steps in an
unslippery condition. Now, if he had
only been a clerk in that store and the
proposed Wisconsin compensation act
were in force there, he would not need
to sue. Even though he tripped over
his own great toe and hurt himself be-
fore leaving the store, that grocer
would have to ''chalk up" The acct
dent was not his fault of course; but
that fact makes no difference. The
liability remains just the same. If the
clerk instead of falling had carelessly
smashed his foot by dropping a heavy
weight upon it, the grocer likewise
would be ssin for it. - That's the mod
ern doctrine that's what working
mems compensation means, and says.
'sWilful misconduct" on the part of the
injured alone can protect the employer,
but such conduct could not be demon
strated once in hundred times. evil
full" means Intentional. Surely that
careless boy Gid not intend to slip, nor
would the clerk with the smashed foot
drop that weight 'twilfully' nor yet
stumble over his obtrusive toe design
edly. Not any. So the merchant
would pay damages though as innocent
as a Quaker, and just as kind. Madi-
son Democrat.

A BILL introduced to maroon the at
torney generals office received the fol-
lowing comment from the State Journal:
Party passion can explain, and parts
ans will sympathize and chuckle at the
clever device of isolating and insulat-
ing the anti-administration republican
attorney general: Yet it will require
some direct evidence for those who
urge the measure to justify the pass
age of the law in question. 1t is state
money, the peoples money, the state
officers and the state legislatures are
spending. They must show it is not to
satisfy a within or dislike, but is IN
the interest of the public welfare that
such money will be spent.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-02-17

OF COURSE it is easy, the easiest
thing in the world, to make ample pro-
visions for spending public money, pro-
vided YOU have nothing upon which the
tax gatherer's destructive hand may be
laid, but when you own little home,
and you are trying hard to take the
mortgage off it before old age steps IN
and robs you of your earning power,
public money, which in part is your
money. looks more sacred, and your
generous impulses are checked by the
recollection of the hard days toll you
put in to earn the part you contributed.
Extravaganza in public matters is
largely due to the fact that the dis
posal of public money is frequently
committed to the profigate and shift
less, to men who never saved enough
to buy home, or if they did they hid
it from the assessor If public servants
could be made to realize that. public
money is not the produce of natures
bounty, that it did not rain into public
vaults, but got there through toll and
sweat and self-denial, they might be
more careful in disbursing it. But the
day will probably never come when
public wealth receives the same consid-
GRAFTON private capital receives. The
reason is perfectly plain. The owners
of public treasures, the people, are too
Indifferent to the character of their
servants. They let the servants select
themselves, and after installing them
in the job which the servants have
chosen, never demand an accounting. =

RetrOgressive Progressives.

To say that all honest and intelligent
citizens, whether democrats or republl-
cans, are amazed at the position taken
by the progressive republicans in con-
gress on the reciprocity treaty with
Canada, is but to speak the truth. We
wonder what they take the people back
home for? The New York Times of
Jan. 81 contains the following editorial
which ought to be read and pondered
by every republican who has not lost
all sense of intelligent consistency on
this tariff question:
When reformers make themselves
ridiculous they lose much of their use
fulness and something of this sad fate
has overtaken the Republican Progress
sives. They were nothing if not moral
lists, and as long as they kept their pose
they were Justly admired. But when
the tombstone of reciprocity was ap-
piled to their professions they stood re-
yealed in all their selfishness. In the
grand forward movement which was to
reform everybody else their corner
stone was such reduction of the tariff
as should bring the robber trusts to
their knees. That was highly popu-
lar movement, and possessed no terrOrs
for the reformers, as the trusts We're
not strong in their constituencies. But
when the cup which had been mixed
for the trusts was offered to their con-
stituents Their walls made the welkin
ring. They were for that sort of re-
form which made votes for them, not
for the sort which made food cheap for
the hungry.
In their movement there was not a
trace of that larger patriotism which
places the country above individual or
local interests. On the contrary, there
was nothing but local and personal in
teresis behind their progressive preten-
sic. :. The moment these selfish con-
siderations were threatened they became
retrogressives of the most rabid type.
Never did any robber trust fight harder
for it's pickings than they.
They appear worse than the wealthy
malefactors who are willing to do the
same thing. 1t was expected of the
malefactors, and they contended, be-
sides, that they did something for the
protection they received. The trusts
profit by the system which they contend
is for the country's good. 1t is the pro-
gressives who are willing to profit by
| the country's harm.
| Some of them really were willing to
die for their country, but the progress
sives are not willing even to be de-
feated for their country's good.

Livery Stable Burns

Last Sunday night, about eleven
O'Clock, our citizens were awakened
by the firing of guns and shouting,
and upon leaving their homes, great
volume of flame and smoke met their
gaze. The fire proved to be in L. J.
McKinnis' livery stable on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, half block north of
Main street. The fire was discovered
by Marshal Hughes, and McKinniS,
who was out with team. They
rushed to the harm. their cries bring
ing others to the scene of disaster,
and were there in time to save the
horses and several carriages. By the
time the horses were rescued, the
fire had made such headway it was
useless to try to save the barn, and
all efforts were centered on saving
the buildings close by. Had the wind,
which was blowing from the north
east, been less mild, it would have
been difficult matter to save much
of the business part of the town, as
with what wind there was large
fragments of the burning building
were carried many blocks, and per-
sons here ond there in different parts
of the city kept guard over them,
extinguishing them as soon as they
fell. The barn of o. H. Laraway
which stands back of the livery barn
yard caught fire, also the implement
house of Temple & Taylor, but
neither was seriously damaged. After
the building had collapsed and the
fire had grown less fierce, little groups
of men and women were gathered
here and there discussing the prob
able cause of the fire; some excited
persons imagined they saw fire inone
of the stores about block farther
south and in a moment the streets
were alive with persons crying

''where, whereof but the alarm was
soon proven to be false, and shortly
after one o'tlock only those who
were guarding fire were left on the
streets. The barn was owned by w.
HI. Bondurant, and was one of the
first large livery stables in Ness City,
having been erected by Jacob Sheaf-
fer There was some insurance but
whether enough to cover the loss, is
not known. This is the fifth de-
structive fire since the beginning of
the new year, and as yet the origin
of all but one remains a mystery.
1t was just one month from the time
the mill burned, June %, (the ruins
of which are still smouldering) until
the burning of the barn, July 23.-
