CRISIS CONFRONTS PARTY

The republican party is facing a
crisis. The two elements in the
party are so irreconcilable' in their
views and aims, that at this time it
looks as if the party would be so
divided next year as to invite de-
feat at the polls next November.
The regulars as a general thing,
unmlndful of the conditions which
confront the party stand for it's
traditions regardless of the popular
demand for many economic changes
and refuse to meet the wishes of the
people with such legislation as will
lift the burden from them and make
a more equitable division of the
earnings of capital and labor. The
insurgents or radical wing of the
party, are influenced by apparently
one desire, and that is, place and
power fighting against every meas
ure calculated to help the masses,
unless it is iniated by one of that
crowd. who, during the regular and
thus far in the special session of
congress, have done nothing in be-
half of the people. The course OF
the progressive has been one OF
obstruction, they not caring a red
cent for the country.

WANT TO CONTINUE TO ROB

The leaders of the special in
terests throughout the country who
have amassed fabulous fortunes
because of prohibitive, not a pro-
tective tariff on their goods, are
rushing to Washington or sending
kilograms to the members of the
senate, protecting against the rati-
hcation of the Canadian reciprocity
pact. Their opposition, as we'll as
that of Wall street, New York,
should open the eyes of the people
to the necessity of large free list
that they may escape the robbery
to which they have been the victims
since the close of the civil war.
Men with incomes from 81 900, 900
to 100000 per annum on pro-
tected products do not need nor
deserve any protection; it is the
great mass of consumers who should
be protected from the rapacity of
soulless combines and trusts.

Student Drowned

Constant Fleissner of Manistee, Mich,
student at the Northwestern College,
was drowned Wednesday afternoon while
in bathing below the Rough and Ready
Dam, and is supposed to have been taken
with cramp and being unable to help
himself sank to the bottom Of the river
where the body remained three minutes
before being recovered, and he might
have been resuscitated had the usual
means been used. The deceased was
seventeen years old and we'll liked by
all who knew him, and will be missed
by all who knew him and will be missed
by his schoOlfelloWs. The remains have
been taken to his home for burial SER
vices and interment.

Police and Fire Commission

At the annual meeting Of the police
and fire commission A. F. Baumann was
elected president for the ensuing year
and DR.. A. J. Schlueter was elected secre-
tary for the same term, succeeding him
self.
The application of Justine Wallace,
Theodore Bergman and R. F. Nc
Laughlin for positions in the fire de-
partment were acted upon favorably.
By a unanimous vote it was decided to
petition the council for the purchase of
stop watches for the police department
to be used by them in furnishing evil
dence when arrests are made for VIOLA
ton Of the automobile speed law. The
watches are necessity.
The council will also be petitiOned to
allow the board to appoint another police
man on the regular force as such ap-
pointment is considered necessity.
The power to add to the department does
not rest with the board at present.

SHOWING UP THE UNIVERSITY

The Free Press of Milwaukee has
buckled on it's armor and proposed
to show up some of the short COM
ings of those in charge of our State
University. While friendly to the
institution;its object will be to show
unwarnted and inexcusable extrav-
agance, and that it is run in the in
terest of a political clique which has
driven good men out of regency.
For years. like Oliver Twist it has
been crying:more!More!mo with
which to keep a large faculty who
do little or nothing to earn the large
salaries, until the expence per cap
tia for the students including the
short term and all other, has be-
come all out of proportion to the
usefulness of the institution. Here
tofore, when any one said anything
IN favor Of economy, up went the
hands of the teachers with the howl,
You are opposed to education. :"
1t has been a veritable horseback, "
always crying for more of the
money of the taxpayers to waste on
fads, political and otherwise, and a
few comparatively speaking have
been the benehciaries. The Free
Press is to be commended for show
ing up the inner workings of the
University and giving the people
the true inwardness.

Manning Held up and Robbed

Friday evening, Martin J. Manning,
Jr., was held up and robbed on West
Division street, west of the Milwaukee
road viaduct while returning from a
visit at the home of a neighbor. He was
first attacked by footpad and had him
down and was giving him good maui
ing when companion of the foOtpad
come to his rescue and throwing rope
around Manning's neck soon had him
gasping for breath. They relieved
Manning Of $500 but overlooked $500
which he had in another pocket. 1t
was bold crime and should the bandits
be arrested, it will certainly go hard
with them, for the penalty is long term
in prison.

Asked For Too Much.

The municipal court bill was killed
in the legislature although Hon. C. F.
Viebahn made a strenuous fight for the
bill. The trouble was, that the bill gave
too great a jurisdiction, civil and Grim
inal, and anticipated too great an ex-
pense. Had it only asked for about a
third of what it did, there probably
would not have been any opposition to
its passage and court would have been
established in Watertown which would
have been sufficient for our needs.

In a previous issue of the Leader.
among the local items, the population
of Johnson Creek was given as 425,
which is incorrect. Rand-McNallv's

United States, taken under the 18th
census, our population of l91O,is given as
600, which seems more likely as it wOnld
hardly be possible that the population
should have decreased 80 much since the

MUST OUT OUT SACCHARIN

MUST OUT OUT SACCHAKlN
The Secretary of Agriculture has
today issued a decision, based up
on a finding of the Referee Board
of Consulting Scientific Experts,
which forbids the use of saccharin
in food on and after July Ist next.
The decision is under the Food and
Drugs Act and will prohibit the
manufacture or sale in the District
of Columbia or the Territories of
foodstuHs containing Saccharin, as
we'll as interstate commerce in such
foodstuffs. The finding of the
Board is the second since it's crea-
ton and is regarded as very sweep
ing, inasmuch as the decision affects
more than 80 different classes of
foods. Some of the articles affected
are soft drinks, sweet pickles, jel-
lies and jams, and in some in
stances beer.
The decision as promulgated is
signed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, in order that the
regulations embodied in the decision
may be put into effect. The de-
cision follows:
At the request of the Secretary
of Agriculture, the Referee Board of
Consulting Scientific Experts has
conducted an investigation as to
the effect on health of the use of
saccharin. The investigation has
been concluded, and the Referee
Board reports that the continued
use of saccharin for long time in
quantities over three-tenths of
gram per day is liable to impair
disestion; and thai the addition Of
saccharin as substitute for cane
sugar or other forms of sugar re-
duces the food value of the sweet
ened product and hence lowers its
quality.
'Saccharin has been used as a
substitute for sugar in over thirty
classes of foods in which sugar is
commonly recognized as normal
and valuable ingredient. If the
use of saccharin be continued it is
evident that amounts of saccharin
may readily be consumed which
will, through continual use, pro-
duce digestive disturbances. In
every food in which saccharin is
used, some other sweetening agent
known to be harmless to health can
be substituted, and there is not
even pretense that saccharin is a
necessity in the manufacture Of
food products. Under the Food
and Drugs Act articles of food are
adulterated if they contain added
poisonous or other added deleter-
ious ingredients which may render
them injurious to health. Articles
of food are also adulterated within
the meaning of the Act, if sub
stances have been mixed and packed
with the foods so as to reduce or
lower or injuriously affected their
quality or strength. The findings
of the Referee Board show that
saccharin in food is such an added
poisonous or other added deleter-
ious ingredient as is contemplated
by the Act, and also that the sub
stitution of saccharin for sugar in
foods reduces and lowers their
quality.
The Secretary of Agriculture,
therefore, will regard as adulterated
under the Food and Drugs Act
foods containing saccharin which,
on and after July I, 1911, are
manufactured or offered for sale In
the District of Columbia or the
Territories, or SHIPPED in interstate
or foreign commerce, or offered for
importation into the United States.

counter. No one else was by.

Slant dropped his glove upon the
spot and then casually stopped to
gather up his fallen gauntlet. But his
hand was trembling so violently that
he fumbled, missed the coin and rose
with the glove alone clasped in his
digits.
He dropped his glove again. He
stopped again. He failed again.

effort to pick up the elusive gold
piece the voice of the shopman
sounded above him.
