INSURANCE COMPANIES KNOCK.

The general manager OF one of the
big life insurance companies OF this
country, in n letter to one of his agents
declining to write a policy for a sa-
loonkeeper, had this to say:
I'VE do not want the name OF be-
ing a saloonkeepers' company, and OF
taking a grade OF risks which are
promptly refused by the leading and
c~onservatively managed companies Of
the country.
Life insurance companies are en-
gaged-all OF them-in encouraging
thrift, protecting homes, and in
serving the welfare Of the individual,
the community and the state. Sa-
loonkeepers-all Of them-are en-
gagged in %discouraing thrift, destroying
homes and in lniuring the individual,
the community and the state. There

that 1t is not only excessive drinking

the Chicago Cubs, Mack said to them:
1T would be bad enough to lose the
championship without having a bundle
of regrets to poster you. It's hard
enough to lose to a better club, but to

Much to the surprise OF the artists

A little investigation reveals that

counted on as always present in the

WISCONSIN NOTES.

Never, in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant, was there so quiet presi-
Dental campaign as the present one.
Where are the shouters and the ban
ners? Almost dead silence rests on the
capitalist camps.
The reason for this dead calm is,
doubtless" twofold. The people are dis
satisfied and the Interests satisfied with
all the capitalistic candidates.
Meanwhile, in the midst of this pro-
found quiet, the socialists are the only
noisy and busy ones. The Milwaukee
social-democrats are getting out more
literature than in any preceding cam
paign. Eightyfive thousand pieces will
be distributed by the Bundle Brigade
next Sunday. Fifteen factory gate
meetings were held during the noon hour
last week and in spite of the miser-
ably cold and rainy weather the work
men swarmed out to hear and applaud
the socialist speakers.
The Milwaukee comrades are getting
out in leaflet form an abridged copy of
"The Growing Grocery Bill" 1t is found
that leaflet not too long to be read
during the noon hour is the best kind
of literature for use in the factories.
The Milwaukee socialist headquarters
during the last week has presented the
cheering spectacle of a crowd of women
socialists hard at work for the cam
paign, writing, sending out literature
and making themselves generally very
useful indeed. If the socialist women OF
other towns could realize how much
good they could accomplish in campaign
work of this kind there would be many
more Nlilwaukees scattered over the
country. But if they do not realize it,
perhaps this may be the fault of the
comrades who have not given them sui
ficient encouragement to take their just
place in the great class struggle.
Our speakers throughout the state re-
port better and more enthusiastic meet
ings than ever before. Many new
branches have been organized during the
campaign.
One new campaign method adopted
this year by the Wisconsin socialists has
been the slide advertising in the thea
ters. In eighty Milwaukee theaters ano
in dozen theaters in other Wisconsin
cities the pictures of the socialist can
didates and a few telling sentences sug
qestivc to the voters will be thrown oil
the screen twice each evening for on
month prior to election. This will reael
many who would not read our literature

some good purpose. Thus the eampaig

which we are endeavoring to accomplis
. efficiently and adequately.

ton Denied BY President
Kane.

There will be no Daily" to-
night. Presses at the printing de-
partment ordered stopped by
President Kane at 3 clock after
daily had gone to press. He de-
manded that the open letter sub
mitted as a protest against the &C
ceptance of the Blethen chimes,
and signed by 81 students, be torn
from the forms. The editor of the
daily, contending that the columns
of the student publication shall be
open to any and all students de
string to express their opinions,
refused to comply with President
Kane's demand. The administra-
ton then ordered the presses
stopped; the Daily will not be
printed tonight.
To get this protest before the
students and persons interested in
the university, we publish it here
with:
To the Regents, Faculty and Friends OF
the University OF Washington:
Ever since the announcement last
spring that Mr.. A. J. Blethen was the
donor of a set of chimes to the uni
versity, we have felt that protest
should be made against the acceptance
of this gift from Mr.. Blethen or OF
any gifts from men of like reputation
and character.
For justification of such an attitude
toward Mr.. BlethaI'se chimes, we ask
your candid consideration of a few
facts regarding his life
We have selected them from among
many similar incidents and we reluc-
family present them in the belief that
they fairly exhibit the true character
of the man who seeks to perpetuate
his influence at our university.
Then follows an arraignment of BE

ing him up as a municipal thief,

stein and in general disreputable de-
generate. The leaflet concludes with
the following paragraph;
Protest Not Too Late.
We think our protest is not too late.
With the cooperation of students, fac
ulty and friends of the university we
can secure the return of the $4,000 to
Mr.. Blethen, the erasure of the self
laudatory inscription on the bells, and
the reimbursement of the $4,000 to
the university in the next appropria-
ton of the legislature.
We ask the regents and officers OF
the university to refuse to compromise
the university. We call upon them
either to secure the money from the
legislature to reimburse Mr.. Blethen OF
to sacrifice the necessary amount from
our running expense account.
Indeed, it were far better that the
bells be taken down and the old water
tower left as a shelter for pigeons
rather than it should rear on high the
