SOME McGovEE1 scALLoPs

There is scarcely a republican paper
in the state that supports McGovern
since his Chicago desertion of Senator
La Toilette and his later desertion of
the republican party. From every
quarter comes the demand for him to
have the honesty and decency to resign
from the head of ticket he has repu-
dated. Nobody pretends to indorse
his cowardly course of waiting till he
had been safely nominated before an
nouncing he had quit the party. Con-
demnation of McGovern's course is
practically universal from republicans
of all factions. Even the Bull Moose
believers have little respect for. one so
weak and vascillating politically, per-
sonally and officially. Here are few
comments from hundreds just as en-
phatic:
Crawford County Press: Both the
stalwarts and the progressives of Wis
are Disguised with the action of Nc
Govern as the candidate for governor.
To both sides he looks like the trick
clown at the circL He has declared
himself for Roosevelt and as a result
the Taft fellows will vote for Kareland
the progessives will also vote for Karel.
McGOvern was elected two years ago
81 900 majority but the chances are he
will get 90, 900 this time.

Did any citizen ever see such state
of political chaos as the republican par
ty is in in Wisconsin? McGovern isn't
going to say word about the national
ticket. He is straddling sharp edged
rail, believing for nobody but Meow
ern. Was there ever such a coward in
the governors chair? Did we ever have
a man before who would deny his birth
right for the sake of office? BAH
What a spectaclel No wonder thou
sands of self-respecting republicans
openly declare they will vote for Karel
Who wouldn't? --Governo Hoard.

Legal Customs From the Church.
When one lawyer rpfeEs to another
as brother attorney" he employs IN
ancient phrase peculiar to religious
and legal fraternities and suggests the
close historical relation between the
callings. In England for two and Il
half centuries after the Norman con
quest all high legal offices were filed
by churchmen. Laymen could not hope
for advancement or for clients and III
deed the only path TO the requirement
of Il professional education lay through
holy orders The fraternal form of
address common to the church passed
naturally into legal rhraseology

der was brother" also at the bar. So
strong was popular prejudice against
admitting the competency of mere lay
men at law when this class began to
practice. about 1900. that lay barristers
adopted a black velvet skullcap or Golf
to conceal their lack Of tonsure, the
distinguishing mark of the priestly

of address and the peculiar headgear
have remained. although we have ceas-

Snake Bites In Siam.

Great numbers of Siamese die every
year of snake bites. On being bitten
the victim simply lies down and sue
cumbs. The deaths are most numer-
Gus during the rice planting season,
when the people are working in the
fields, for the season is coincident
with the nesting time Of the cobra,
which will then attack human beings
without hesitation If they happen near
the nest. The cobra will also bite I'M
der water. There are fifty-two varie-
ties of snakes in Siam, the majority
Of them being venomOus. In size they
range from the thirty foot python to
the deadly little earth snake six inches
in length. The following is Siamese

bones of domestic pig. bones Of wild
