It is interesting to note that the
number of deaths has been upon the
increase in So counties, decrease in so,
ana stationary in 5.
The variation in the number of
deaths in the following counties ought
to excite the interest Of the local
statisticians:
Waukesha-Increase from SO to GS.
Brown-Increase from AZ to 81
Calumet-Decrease from IL to 8.
Door-Increase from 9 20 Is.

Washington-Decrease from is to s.
At this roint, I wish to introduce a
consideration which is overlooked in
the subject-and that is that while
these sanatoria are called county san
atoria and are to a certain extent
county institutions, they are also in
fact state institutions. The law pro-
vides specifically that Whenever beds
are available in a county sanatorium
patients from other counties must be
ADMITTED. The county which has made
the outlay in grounds and buildings,
however, is protected from being i'm
posed upon by a less pro7iasnt neigh
boring county, by being entitled to To-
endorsement for entire cost of main

trustees may and should charge rea-
sonable amount for depreciation, over
healed charges, ETC., etc.
This consideration is an important
one, in many counties, the total num-
Der of deaths is not sufficient high to
warrant an Independent county insti-
tuition where admission is limited TO
residents of the county IN question.
AS it is, no matter how small the num-
Der of consumptives resident in a
county may be they cannot be utterly
neglected nor their neighbors be help
lessly subjected to the danger of con-
tagion. On the other hand, it is only
right that those resident in county
which has been farsighted in it's Official
recognition of the need for tuber-
culosis sanatorium should have the
first chance of the benefits.

Senator LaFollette, however, ex-
poets the greatest aid will come to aim
in his campaign from his lecture gosk,
and it is his expectation dlrieg tie
next three years to devote rs lhueh
time as possible to lecturing All to
telling people just what work he
thinks the government should do to
improve conditions.
The eastern and the southern states
will be particularly favored BY the
senator in his lecture toars, ard he
feels that these are the portions of
the country in which he is least
known and that he will be able
through the medium OF his lecture to
give the people of these sections aE
acquaintance with him which will aid
him in his canvass.
1t is said many prominent progges-

START WORK FOR BOB.
Presidential Campaign for LaFollette
is Already Well Under Way.

The campaign of Robert NJ LaFol-
lette for the republican presidential
nomination in 1916 has began.
Soon after the conclusion of the re-
publican national convention in Chica-
go it was announced that the senator
had his eyes on the nomination in 1916
and he has, in fact, repeated practical
ly that that was his ambition in mis-
speeches in Wisconsin all through his
recent speaking campaign in this state.
That actual work would begin i'm
mediately in behalf of the candidacy
of Senator LaF'ollette no one, prob
ably, has dreamed. Such, however, is
really the case. Already names are
being gathered in every state IN the
union of men on whom the senator
believes he can depend for aid
in his campaign.
Correspondence is to be entered in
to with these people at once and they
will be requested to form organizations
in their states which will begin work
at once to create sentiment in favor
of the senator. It will be asked that
wherever possible working clubs De
formed which shall have as their OBJ.
ject the aiding of the campaign of
Senator LaFoIlette.
From time to time these clubs will
be furnished with literature in support
of the candidacy of Senator LaFolette
and giving his views and they will be
asked to distribute this literature.

FOR LONG CAMPAIGN
LaFOllette Men to Outline
Two Years Program at
Meeting in Milwaukee
MAY CONTROL LEGISLATURE

The conference of LaFollette lead
ers which is to be held in Madison
this week may have very important
bearing on Wisconsin politics, as it is
understood the entire LaFollette pro-
gram for the next two years will be
gone over at the conference.
Not only will the LaFollette candi-
date for the speakership Of the as
sembly be decided upon at the meet
ing, but it is probable that at least
the inner circle will know pretty well
after the meeting is held whom the
LaFollette leaders intend pressing as
candidate for both the republican
nomination for the United States sem
ate and for the republican nomination
for governor in the campaign Of 1914.
The impression is growing stronger
that the announcement which was
made at the time of thu republican
candidate convention that Lieut.. Gov.
Morris is the man who has been pick
cd by Senator LaF'ollette to make the
senatorial race is correct.
One of the strongest indications of
this fact is the way in which the bull
letin is being passed around in close
LaFollette circles that State Senator
George Z. Scott, the present repubh-
can state central committee chairman
would make a strong gubernatorial
candidate.
This bulletin system is one which
has long been used by the LaFollette
people In bringing out candidates and
it is noticeable fact that the news
disseminators in the LaFollette ranks
have seemingly had pretty strong
tip that mention of the name of Sem
ator Scott as likely man for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination
would not be considered unfavorably
by Senator LaFollette.
The LaFollefte people intend that
the speakership contest, so fas as AS
semblyman Merlin Hull of Jackson
county and L. L. johnson of Sturgeon
Bay is concerned, shall be an entirely
friendly contest and it is likely that
whichever of these men can show the
greatest personal strength viii be the
man on whom the LaFollette people
will finally center as their candidate
Friends of both men will discuss
their strength at the conference next
week. It is said that LaFollette lead
ers from all over the state will attend
the conference.

ranged by Jefferson, based on the com pilation of a Huguenot named Du Simitier, be reported to Congress on August 10, 1776. The design in ques- ton was quite elaborate and indicated fundamental knowledge of the laws Of heraldry, besides containing primal symbolic language, and one impor- tant element which appealed strongly to the Irish pride of race. The pro posed shield carried an emblem to represent the six great nationalities taking part in the war for independ ence, or those who populated the col onies and were earnest in the fight for American freedom. Thus, for Eng land appeared a rose, for Scotland thistle, for Ireland a harp, for France a fiuer-de-lys, for Germany a black eagle, and for the Netherlands a lion. Du Simitier, who was the heraldic art ist, placed Ireland third in this i'm portant subdivision of that proposed shield for the Union, and 1t Is inter- esting to note the reasons set forth for this recognition of the patriotism of the colonial inhabitants who came here from Ireland:
 The third Quartering, green, with a harp of gold, was to be the respected symbol of Ireland, and was placed upon the shield as token to the Irish patriots who took an active part in the war for independence; in fact, having brought over with them spirit of dis like and revenge against England, they fought most bravely in our strug-

1 terested in the following sketch of the career of the man who solved the problem of providing a seal for the Government of the United States:
 Charles Thomson was born at Ma ghera, Ireland, November 29, 1729, and came to America with his three elder brothers in, 1741 They landed at New Castle, Delaware, with no other dependence than their industry. Thomson was educated by Doctor Al lison, the tutor of several of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. He had a great passion for reading and when yet young man he had gleaped sufficient knowl- edge to be counted among the "literi" He was afterwards a teacher in the Friends academy, at New Castle, Del aware. From thence he went to Philadelphia, where he became ac- quainted with and obtained advice from Benjamin Franklin; he soon be- came the intimate friend of the learned Philadelphian" and their friendship seemed to increase daily In 1772 he served as negotiator with the Iroquois and Delaware Indians, and his good, conscientious work among the natives brought for him the worthy nickname, "Truthteller," by which name the Indians always after called him. He was man of rare abilities and had the peculiar requi- sites to make and keep friends where ever he happened to wander. He was called to the responsible duty of keep ing minutes of the proceedings of the | first Continental Congress in 1774, and from that time until he resigned his office in 1789-then fifty-nine years old he was the secretary of that digni- | fled and important body.
 John Adams called him the Sam Adams of Philadelphia, the life of the cause of liberty" This certainly was compliment, coming as it did from tried and honest patriot. Thomson, 1t is true, made a most diligent secre- tary, and in that position he had the rare pleasure of taking notes of all the important congressional actions. For the first years work he received no pay. He served as permanent sec retary during the eventful fifteen years that followed. His sea was ae- cepted officially on June 20. 1782

the national banner was taken until June IA, 1777. But Jefferson was so impressed with the idea of recogniz- ing the countries from whence Amer ica was peopled, and to show definite ly admiration for their patriotism in the fight for liberty, that he placed be- low the Du Simitier idea the motto. "E Pluribus Unum,' to indicate From Many (People) one (people);" or From Many Nationalities, one na- tion;" or From England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands-the United States" The motto does not mean"From many Colonies, one nation," as the basic definition is clearly indicated in the device and in Jeffersons description.
 Still, Congress was hard to please, and the report of the distinguished committee was set aside and a new committee assigned to the task. Though Jefferson continued deeply in- terested in the matter and submitted several other devices, no less than twenty designs were under discussion, and four subsequent committees la bored with the seal problem.
 Then in 17S2 a committee called to their aid a certain MT. William Bar ton, a patriot, soldier and heraldic ex- pert, and he designed seal which again incorporated the emblems in token of the Irish allies Of the Re public. His design was elaborate and practically became the basis of our present seal In the shield the Stars and Stripes appear and the eagle and eye of Providence. But the special consideration of the Irish is found in the two figures supporting the pro posed design. The harp and the fieur- de-lys relate to the assistance ren- dered by Ireland and France, and are blazoned on a green banner How ever, this committees report fared no better than it's predecessors, and finally the entire question of evolving an appropriate seal was placed in the hands of the secretary of the Conti- mental Congress-the Irishman, Charles Thomson. He, with the aid of William Barton, gave to the world our present emblematic signature. Americans in general, and those of Irish ancestry in particular, will be in.

PARIS IN PROTEST
Ugly Advertising Posters Meet
 With Disapproval.
Famed Beauty of the Streets of the Gay Capital Disappearing Because Of Greed That Dominates
 Commercialism.

The beauty of Paris! Do not im- agine that Paris has patent on good taste. Recently a completely Parisian concern of the Boulevard painted it's entire front screaming red! Mime. Hollands historic house has a side wall, high, exposed, and one of the department stores spread pink and green letters on 1t, five feet high. The extensive building operations of the Boulevard have raised up immense hoardings. All are covered with pos ters. and a fourth of those posters are in doubtful taste.
 Can what is grotesque, comic, ugly or aesthetically shocking make a good advertisement? The general practice of greater Paris advertisers says no, but leaves the field of shock" all the more free to the small and hungry who strain for effect Nevertheless competition tempts the great advertis- CTS to novelty, and ugliness is novelty in Paris. So the beauty of the streets trembles in the balance.
 The French government wishes to OhSOdl dSC al III oIlSCI duNCl LiSC- ments. When pictorial posters are ar tistic the public taste is soothed and upiifted; foreign visitors find the beautiful streets free from a note of discord. But note the native poor are even more concerned
 '"The street Is the parlor of the poor" says the poet Rostand. The rich in their automobiles can hurry through dirty streets and shut their eyes to advertising vulgarity, but when the poor have an hour of leisure the street is their parlor, salon, mu- scum. Why hang it's walls with ug- liness and banality?' The author of "Chantecler" as advertising specialist need not astonish you; the astronomer Poincare, cousin of the prime min ister, has even analysed the princi- ples.
 Pictorial advertising has two ob- jects," says the sublime mathematt- elan. First, to attract attention; sec ond, to fix an obsession, haunting of the mind. But in order for the obses- sion to be fruitful the memory must connect the advertised object with the

jected to as an American emblem on account of the harp being representa- tive of Ireland.
 But this, like many other devices, was not reported from the committee. There is good reason to believe that the following design came as a later proposal from Doctor Franklin, as he refers to it in his writings:
 "Supporters-In the dexter side: the genius of America Represented by a maiden with loose auburn trasses), having on her head a radi- ated crown of gold encircled with sky blue fillet, spangled with silver stars. and clothed in a long, loose white garment bordered with green.

gle. Six thousand Irish came to this country in 1729, and dispersed and settled throughout the colonies, princi- pally in Maryland. Virginia and the Carolinas. From among those deyout settlers sprang some of the most prominent and influential colonists. The musical instrument which sym boli2es the land of Erin was an at tributive ensign of the Goddess Hi bernia, the patroness of early Ireland, As early as the fifth century, the harp was so common in Erin that hardly peasant house was without one. In the old laws of Wales and Erin the Triads specified the use of the harp as one of the three things necessary to distinguish a freeman or gentle man from a slave. Pretenders were

 Whence the mathematician con cludes for simple beauty and harmony to produce lasting returns in posters. Also, if posters be really admitted to the coming Salon, such philosophy Of advertising will become part of the art critics baggage. The merits, not of Vasseur's massage cream or Mill lard's mincemeat, but the obsessing beauty of Roubille's or Leandre's pos ters of them will obtain solemn dis cussion-to the equal advantage of Vasseur's and Millard's sales! It will be well worth while to order an art poster.

discovered by their unskillfulness in playing of the harp"
 That the heraldic device of which Du Simitier was the author pleased his critics is proved by the fact that Franklin at once withdrew his design, Adams abandoned his and Jefferson relegated his diagram to oblivion in favor of the compilation offered by the French expert. Also there were other designs placed in evidence by distin- guished colonists. Among them was an emblem of Ireland, Harp" with thirteen strings, and the motto, Majora Minorobus Consonant, meaning The greater and lesser ones sound togeth- CT" The strings of the harp were of different lengths, yet they composed one instrument in a strong frame and sounded in harmony. This appropri- ate device was intended to represent
