AUTOMOBILE TOUR
A SIX DAY EVENT
Route Mapped Out Will be Sc
we're Test for Machines and
Drivers.

Milwaukee, June 15.-It has been
decided finally that the 1911 tour of
the Wisconsin State Automobile as
sociation, July II to %, shall be di-
vided into six days instead of five.
owing to the practical impossibility
of making the run from La Crosse
to Madison in a single day. A run
of 220 miles may not seem to some
motorists an inOrdinate days work
or at all out of the bounds of easy
accomplishment. Yet, when the fact
is taken into consideration that the
run will be held in the hottest part
of the year, and that the route from
La Crosse to Madison consists of
hills almost throughout, 220 miles
looms up as big bite of distance to
nip off in a single day.
It has, therefore. been decided to
make a night control midway be-
tween La Crosse and Madison, proba-
bly, at Lancaster or Platteville, and
to finish the trip at a reasonable rate
on the final day, which will bring the
motorists into Milwaukee in fair sea
son Saturday afternoon. AS now
planned, the route will be as fol
lows:
First day, Milwaukee to Marinette,
with Port Washington, Sheboygan,
Manitowoc, Two Rivers, Green Bay,
and Oconto as intermediate points.
The noon control on this days run
will doubtless be at Manitowoc.
Second Night at Wausau.
The second days run will be to
Wausau, with Peshtigo, Oconto Falls,
Neopit, Mattoon and Amigo as stop
ping points, the noon control proba-
bly, being at Shawano.
On the third day the tourists will
have plenty of work cut out for
them, and through a difficult stretch
of country at that. They will go from
Wausau to La Crosse, via Mosinee,
Stevens Point, Grand Rapids, Marsh
field, NeillsVille, Merrillan. Black
River Falls, Sparta, Bangor and West
Salem to La Crosse. If there is any
tourist of the lot who feels that he
has not fully tested his car and him
self on this third days stretch the
Sixty Cent club will doubtless chip in
and buy him osmething handsome in

AANRATY'S TROUBLE.

Pete Hanraty, McAlester's first
mayor under the commission form OF

administration. When the charter for

put in the field a citizens ticket but
the democratic ticket won and Han
Taty was chosen mayor. Soon re-
call movement was begun, certain
charges We're made against the police
department, the mayor set yesterday
as a day for those making the charges
against the police to appear before an
investigating committee. They failed

which they will not be pleased to
hear.
When Hanraty was inaugurated
mayor, the Ardmoreite expressed sat
isfaction with his first announcements
and We still believe he will make that
city a most valuable executive IL his
people will cease their harrassing
and give him a chance. The recall,
as it is being used, is proving a curse
rather than a blessing.

A DUTY ON LABOR.

Commenting, in the Survey, upon
the recent report of the Federal I'm
migration Commission, Paul U. Kel-
logg makes a highly alluring sugges-
ton. The report finds that the great
influx of foreigners, large part OF
whom are drawn into the industrial
centers as unskilled laborers, tends to
keep down wages for such labor. Mr..
Kellogg suggests, therefore, that until
az immigrant has been five years in
this country his wages be fixed by
law at minimum of two dollars and a
half day.
This, of course. is exactly the pro-
tectionist doctrine. We must not be
permitted to buy the foreign article
except at very high price. and the
foreign article must be used TO boost
prices on the domestic. It is quite
clear that If the Steel Trust, for eX.
ample, could get no unskilled immi
grant labor for less than two dollars
and a half a day it would have to pay
about that for native unskilled labor
Thus the grand object of protection
namely, to benefit native labor
would be Immediately achieved. i
would amount simply to levying a pro
tective tariff directly upon labor. we
do not see how Senators Aldrich
Lodge, Hepburn and their fellow high
protectionists could possibly object tt
proposal 50 strictly in accord with
their doctrine-unless they SHOULD
urge that the measure of protection
was not high enough to be in line witt
some of the schedules and that tn,
minimum wage should be at leas
three dollars a day.
We wonder what favored manufac
turers would say if congress really
undertook to raise the same kind o
protective wall around their laboi
that it has erected around their prod
ucts. What they said would certainly
be both dverting and Instructive

School for Blind Established.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 12.-The pres
ent attempt in the legislature to move
the state school for the blind from
Fort Gibson to some other point in
Oklahoma has resulted in an interest
ing story being made public by Mrs.
Lura Lowery of Fort Gibson in re-
gard to the establishment of the
school at that place by her fourteen
years ago. Mrs. Lowery said:
IN 1897, while l was teaching in
the Arkansas school for the blind,
resolved to found similar school in
the Territory. To that end I first
visited Tahlequah and consulted with
Hon. Samuel H. Hayes, regarding To-
cation, and finally, by aid of the resi-
dents of Fort Gibson, secured the old
barracks building and opened the
school on Jan. 3, 1898, at Fort Gibson,
|. T.
I'VE opened and maintained our
school with money which we obtained
from the citizens of Fort Gibson, by
travelling over the Territory anc CIV
ing lectures on the needs of the blind,
giving entertainments aud soliciting
subscriptions.
The various towns in the Territory
contributed rather literally to the
cause, but Fort Gibson helped us in
every way possible throughout each
year the school was located at that
place. The ladies of the town rallied
to our assistance when we were hard
pressed for means, never failing to
come to our rescue. The business
men, though few in number, also as
sisted us in every way they could
according to their ability, and had 1t
not been for them We would have
been forced to abandon our project.
In addition to this, at the end of
three years we got an appropriation
OF 5000 or $500 from the Cherokees,
and later received from the interior
department assistance for each Choc-
taw child in the school,
There was never sufficient amount
to pay salaries which we would call
salaries. For several years our teach
ers and ourselves worked without sal.
aries, receiving only our board and
necessary expenses. The last two or
three years we paid a very meager
salary, never exceeding $3.50 a year.
During the ten years We had
charge we expended little more than
$4,000 and had total enrolment of
80 pupils, Sc blind and IA deaf, OF
whom 27 were white, II Choctaws and
II Cherokees. With statehood this
school was reorganized into the Okla
homa State School for the Blind and
for the first year or two Fort Gibson
continued to furnish the buildings
without cost to the state"

IMPORTANT MEASURES
TO Be DISPOSED OF
CONGRESSMEN HAVE BUSY TIME
AHEAD OF THEM, AND FEAR
AN ETRA SESSION.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Members Of
congress would give much to know
whether they are to be permitted
to break ranks on March 4 or
whether they must linger in Wash
ington for an indefinite period to
act upon the Canadian reciprocity
agreement in extra session.
There Is foundation that the re-
port that President Taft is viewing
with entire complacency the solic-
ltude of members of the senate on
the subject of an extra session.
Several senators who feel there is
no chance for the approval of the
agreement at the present session
have found this view Is not shared
at the white house.
The president has met all pess-
mistic predictions with the sugges-
ton that he is willing to trust the
agreement to a vote. He has never
said, for publication that he would
call an extra session if such vote
is denied. but senators have failed
to obtain assurances that he would
not do so.
The Mccall bill to carry out the
provisions of the Canadian agree
ment, having been reported to the
house from the ways and means
committee, probably will be brought
up tomorrow. Immediate considera-
ton will be asked. If an agreement
to that end is opposed the support
ers of the bill will seek rule for
limitation of debate and inhibition
of the amendment.
The democrats of the house are
pledged to the reciprocity agreement
under the recent caucus action, al
though a handful of the minority
will oppose the measure.
A conference of democratic sena-
tors probably will be defeated by
reason of the inspection of the race
question into the discussion of the
resolution.
The fate of Senator Lorimer is
doubtful. All polls that have been
made have been based upon the
Beveridge resolution which declares
the election of Senator Lorimer to
have been accomplished by corrup-
tion of the Illinois legislature. If
the case should come before the
senate in that form the indications
are that the election would be de-
clared invalid and his seat vacant.
A week ago the bill to provide
TO; a permanent tariff board SEEM
ed in danger of defeat because of
almost solid democratic opposition.
There has been a change of sent-
ment in the senate minority.
Led by Senator Mooney a num-
Der of those who believed the pas
sage of the bill would strengthen
President Taft politically. have ar
rived at the conclusion that demo
cratic opposition would simply con-
vince the country that the demo-
Gratis OF the senate and house were
not pulling together.
