1t 10 to be case Of three times and
out on those bids for the coal supply
of the water company as the commits
sioners have now decided to advertise
again for offers before awarding the
contract. This time it is expected that
the specifications will be changed so
that there is no possible chance for
the companies to misunderstood them
and that all will enter the competition
with a full knowledge of the conditions
surrounding the delivery of the coal
and on exactly the same basis. 1t is
perhaps peculiar that any company
would put in bid without full knowl-
edge of the conditions surrounding the
contract which it proposed to carry out
but it may be better in the long run
to go through all of the preliminaries
again than have any Of the bidders
feel that they have been unfairly treat
ed. That is a reputation that the
water company cannot afford and does
not want to acquire.

The notices of the opening Of the
next term of the Wisconsin State
School for the Deaf at Delavan on
September Is, have been sent to every
village and city in the state and it is
expected that more children will re-
ceive the advantages offered at the in
stitution than ever before. This school
is free to all deaf children Of school
age in Wisconsin, tuition, board, wash
ing, light, heat and medical service be-
| ing furnished free by the state. Every
deaf child in the state whose parents
are unable to afford the expensive priv
ate tutoring needed for it's education
should be sent to this school and it is
a question if any private system of in
struction could equal the excellent
training facilities offered without
money and without price at this school
While this institution is maintained by
the state no child handicapped with
the terrible affection Of deafness need
be left to grow up in ignorance and
without the training and education
necessary to fit it to become a good
useful, self supporting citizen and it is
the duty Of all Of the people Of the
state to see that no child is deprived Of
this chance of an education through
the Ignorance or Indifference of its par
ents. These deaf children are entitled
to their chance in life and the people
of every community in which there are
any such should see that they get it..
IF there is no sympathy and pity for
these afflicted any action taken can be
put on the purely selfish ground that a
little assistance extended now to en-
able the children to attend the school
is likely to prevent their becoming a
charge on the community some time in
the future.

Nearly two hundred cities, located
in twenty-seven states, have already
adopted the commission form of govern
ment, the grand merit of which was
recently described in the senate as
complete Capitalization of power and
responsibility in a small council or
commission.
About the time this description was
given, the treasury statement showed
that in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1911, revenues of the federal govern
ment exceeded all records, topping sew
Ell hundred million dollars. This is an
increase of full hundred million dol
lars in two years, and is almost double
the largest revenue ever received by
the government from taxation in the
period between the civil war and the
Spanish-American war. Special inter
nal revenue taxes levied during the
Spanish-American war caused receipts
under that head to jump hundred
million dollars in a year. These special
imposts have been repealed, and the
only new impost is the corporation tax,
which yielded thirty-two million dol
lars last year yet internal revenue re-
ceipts last year exceeded the maximum
Of the Spanish American war, while
import duties now yield above three
hundred millions yearly against two
hundred millions in 1899.
Excluding the Panama Canal, expen-
ditures last year were some forty mil
lions less than receipts; but, in the
main, outgo has kept pace with increas-
ed income. Much, undoubtedly, of this
enormously increased revenue is well
and proftably spent. The point is that
nobody in particular Is responsible for
it. IF the business of a city with an
income of fifteen or twenty millions a
year cannot be conducted efficiently
when power and responsibility are scat
tered among thirty or forty aldermen
and executives, how about the business
Of nation spending nearly seven
hundred millions a year, with power
and responsibility scattered among five
hundred senators, representatives and
executives
We cannot, of course, have minis
try in which complete financial respon-
sibility is centralized; but we could
have a greater consolidation of fiscal
authority and responsibility. Saturday

The commission form Of government
passed the experimental stage long ago
and the showing made by those cities
which led the way in the adoption of
this form of government is attracting
the attention Of the thinking men of
every city in the country. 1t is sur
prising the number of cities in which
the movement to change to the commits
sion form is already under way or in
which the ACCESSIBILITY of making a
change is being seriously considered.
Kenesha is in the latter class at pres
ant, but the feeling in favor of the
commission form is growing at rapid
rate and special election in which
this question will be submitted to the
people is one of the possibilities of the
near future.

Hunting licenses have gone up fifty
per cent in price this year due to the
fact that the applicant will be forced
to pay notarial fees for the two
acknowledgements in connection with
the application, but it is expected that
as many licenses will be issued in this
county during the coming season as
were taken out last year. The added
fifty cents is not likely to cut down
the number of applicants for the hunt
ing licenses fee even at the increased
price is one of the smallest items of
expense in connection with a real
hunting trip.

The board of food and drug inspec-
tion at Washington is searching for an
answer to tne question "What is beer"
and the hearings on the subject have
brought out the fact that in the minds
of the manufacturers at least Cheer"
or some of the compounds sold under
that name, is something entirely differ
emit from what the ordinary consumers
think it is. In the popular under
standing beer is made from barley
matt and hops, but it appears from the
evidence brought out at the investiga-
tion that it is often a compound of
corn, rice and other substitutes and
one company claimed that it could
make beer out of cabbage leaves. The
object of the investigation is to de-
termine exactly what combination of
malt and hops or for that matter or
other products is entitled to the name
Sheer and to fix standard so that
all products sold to the consumer I'M
der the name of beer may be proper
ly labeled as to their ingredients under
the provisions of the pure food law.
The fight that is being made before
the board suggests that there are some
brewers who are afraid to have their
products placed before the buying pub
lie for what they are and they set up
the usual defense that the chemicals
they use are natural preservatives -
and mot prohibited by the pure food
laws. = That being the case what are
they. afraid OFF, More and more the
people are beginning to look for the
pure food label on everything they
consume and if the manufacturers of
certain brands of so called beer have
nothing to fear from the operation of
the pure food laws, in their cases the
labelling required under the act would
be one of the greatest advertisements
their products could have With beer
as with every other product the pur-
chaser has a right to know exactly
what he is getting for his money and
no brewer, no honest brewer that is,
who knows that mis- output will stand
inspection need fear the operation of
the law or should oppose its applica-
ton to his business. BY a large per
centage of the consumers of the
country, beer is regarded as a food
and a necessary portion of the daily
food supply and the manufacturers of
this product have no more right to ex-
pect to be permitted to operate outside
Of the law than any other manu-
facturer-

DEER ARE NUMEROUS.
Report Of State Game Warden Indicates
that Deer Hunting Will be Excellent.

Deer hunting in the Wisconsin woods
will be excellent next November. This
representation is based on reports of
deputy game wardens to State Game
Warden John A Sholts. Deer are un-
usually numerous they say. The deer
season is from November 10 to 30.
Deer are protected in certain counties.
PaTtridges are also very plentiful.
The hunting season is from September
10 to December l.

was the subject Of a spirited hearing

The new law which places additional
restrictions around the display of food
stuffs intended for sale is not being
observed very well as yet and the
agents of the dairy and food commits
sion will have to inaugurate numerous
prosecutions and push them to a sue
cessful conclusion before the law makes
much of an impression on the dealers.
The law requires that all fruits, vege-
tables, or other food products display
ed or offered fer sale shall be protected
from flies, dust, dirt, or other injurious
contamination "by being suitably COW
cred with q glass, wood, or metal case
or covering0 but while most of the
dealers are taking more care to protect
their goods from dirt and flies than ever
before none of them is likel yto contend
that he is complying in every respect
with all of the provisions of the new
law or for that matter that he intends
to unless forced. The people generally
will have to take more interest IN this
law for the protection Of their food
products than they apparently do at
present before the dairy and food COM
mission or any other power can enforce
it to the letter in this or any other
city of the state. A general demand
from customers for greater cleanliness
and better protection for the food pro-
ducts will be more effective in enforc-
ing proper sanitary regulations on the
dealers in food stuffs than all the
prosecutions that can be brought for
violation of this law. The law cannot
be effective without strong public
sentiment back Of it and when it has
that there will be no need of prosecu-
tions. The dealers will have to follow
it's provisions to protect themselves
from loss of trade. The law and the
prosecutions under it, however, will
serve useful purpose in calling the
attention Of the people to the neces-
sity of better sanitary arrangements
in handling food products of all kinds
and, while it will hardly be as effec1
tive as its trainers hoped it would be,
it will nevertheless be a powerful fac
tor in the campaign Of education that
is being carried on in every direction
in this state with the object of impress
ing the general public with the neces-
sity of all doing their part in safe
guarding the public health.

The fact that many of the consumers
under the fiat rates are using more
water than they are entitled to under
the rules of the water company and
that it is almost impossible to catch
them at it is one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of putting all consumers
under the meter system. Then all could
use aslmuch water as they cared to pay
for and there would be no cases as at
present where one consumer evades the
rules of the company and uses ten
times as much water as his neighbor
who pays the same rate. Naturally the
consumer who uses the least water feels
that he is getting the worst of it and
in way he is, but under the fat rate
system the water commissioners are
practically powerless to remedy matters.
From time to time the water commits
sioners send out notice that the rules
of the company must be more strictly
observed and that consumers caught
sprinlkling at other than the regular
hours or violating any of the rules Of
the company will have their water turn
ed off without notice, but these procla-
nations have little effect for the often.
ders are well aware that it is almost
an impossibility for the inspectors of
| the company to watch all of the con-
sumers all of the time and that their
chances Of being caught are small. AS
matter of fact an inspection system
that would put a stop to sprinkling out
of hours absolutely would cost more
than it would save the company and it
is only very small percentage of the
offenders who have their water turned
off because of the violations of the
company rules. At present the only
penalty exacted for using the water
out of hours is g fine of one dollar
assessed for the expense of turning the
water on again after it has been shut
off by the inspectors, but it. has been
suggested that consumers who are
caught second time violating the
rules of the company in any way be
compelled to install a meter before the
water is turned on again and the idea
is a good one. With this rule very lit
tie work by the inspectors would put
meters into the places of the most
persistent offenders and stop large
percentage of the waste. The number
of gallons pumped per unit of popula-
tion is high at present, but the COM
pany could stand that very well and
show an increase in revenue if it was
getting pay for all of this pumping at
meter rates and the installation of the
meter system all through would do
away with the only complaints ever
heard against the company that some
consumers are using more water than
others paying the same rate.

Assistant Chief Of Police Newhouse
has demonstrated that it is possible to
collect most of the delinquent personal
property taxes and to do it without
resorting to harsh measures either.
Most of the delinquent tax now out
standing should have been collected
last year or the year before that and
the success that has attended the col
lection of these taxes this year shows
that the city has lost considerable
money in the past by not going after
1t in the right way.
