GIRL TERRIBLY BURNED.
Daughter of William Evans at Salem
Seriously Burned on Saturday.

Mary Evans, the fourteen year old
daughter of William Evans of the vii
lage of Salem, is confined to her home
on account of burns received on last
Saturday and her condition is such that
grave fears are entertained for her.
The child with several other children
had been cracking hickory ruts and
she had her apron filed with The shells
and attempted to trrow them into the
stove in the kitchen at the Evans
home. The flames canght her apron
and rapidly spread to her other cloth
ing. The little girl showed great
presence of mind and wrapped herself
in a rug and went out and rolled on
the ground. By the time her father
reached the house she had extinguished
the flames but not until she had been
terribly burned all over the BODY.
The physicians in attendance state
that there is a chance for her to re-
cover but that her condition is critical.

The suffragists have gathered the
pieces of the 1912 campaign carefully
together and put them away fer fut-
ure reference. Any one who thinks
that the defeat of the suffrage move
ment amendment at the last election is
the end of the movement and that we
have heard the last of the suffragists
in Wisconsin is very much mistaken.
The first attempts to secure suffrage
have never been successful in any of
the states and where the women have
won they have won by keeping ever
lastingly at their campaigns of elu-
ucation' over a long period of time.
Even Kansas which is generally will
ing to try anything once rejected the
suffrage amendment the first time it
was submitted. In the light Of the
past story of the movement the Wis
consin sufragists have no reason to be
discouraged by the loss Of their
I'M .ial battle and the way they are
organizing is a sufficient indication
that they are not. Instead of the end
the election of November 5th was the
beginning of the battle and other
campaigns may be expected at regular
periods for years to come.

Marshall Farnum will be presented
IN Edward Peple's latest play sThe
Littlest Rebel, at the Rhode, Sunday,
matinee and night, under the diree-
ton of A. H. Woods. '.The Littlest
Rebel IS a stirring, pathetic and
numerous war-play the action of which
takes place near Richmond towards
the close of the civil war. 1t is not
play exploiting the love of the sol!ier
OF the north and the maid of the
south. The love interest centres in the
paternal love of two men, one ,tuated
naturally and the other by sympathy.
There is no accounting for sexes at
all; the author has shown that il is
not this love that alone can inspire to
deeds of heroism and elasticity of
duty, but that an equally if not strong
er motive exists when the chord of hu-
man paternity is touched. The grim
background of war might be stripped
away, and the story of the little girl
who suffered with her father through
many trying ordeals and finally saved
his life through her plea to one of the
greatest men in American history.
would hold its human interest; but all
the elements of the play adds to It's

how to meet the demands of the petit

fact that any of the county officials

position Of the company in any way.

TO EXTEND SERVICE
Wisconsin Anti-TuberculOsis
Committee to Fight
Other Diseases
SEEK FUNDS FROM SEAL SALE

One the eve Of the opening of the
Christmas Seal Campaign an epoch
making announcement has just been
made by the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association to the effect that
from now on, the fight against other
contagious diseases will be taken up
by that organization. In taking this
advanced step in doing general public
health work, the directors are acceding
to demand which has come from
people, in every section Of the state.
who wish to see that same efficient
educational work tried on typhoid,
contagious and intestinal diseases Of
infancy and childhood, ETC.. ETC., that
is procuring such remarkable results
in the fight against consumption.
"Oh, no." said DR.. Dearholt, the
executive secretary, in answer to a
query, "we shall not let up an iota
in the fight against tuberculosis. The
time has arrived, however, when that
work is pretty well cut out; when we
know exactly what we are doing and
why. We've got a staff of veterans
now, who can do twice as much as they
are now doing provided they are re-
lieved of some of the detail work.
From this on, there won't be any let
up at any season Of the year. Need
less duplication in office rent, tele-
phone, travelling and other ad1ninistra-
tive expense, will be avoided by this
move. More important than that, CO.
operation and coordination will pre-
vent divided effort and working at
cross purposes.
If the Importance Of this step is re-
allied, the people will double their
contributions in this Christmas Seal
Campaign, and get five times as lnleh
action and value for their MOI ey.
Amongst other things that will be done
is to secure greater respect for health
laws and health officials. We re go
ing to try to teach as much as is
known and set up such demand for
more knowledge on the part of the
general public, that the scientists will
have to sit up nights to keep ahead of
the public knowledge.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1912.

If the state teachers association
really wants to cut down the use of
tobacco in the schools it should use
it's tremendous influence with the
legislature for common sense laws gov
erning the sale Of tobacco to minors
in this state. The laws now on the
statute books on this subject are
worse than useless for their presence
there simply prevents the passage Of
laws which could be enforced. Wis
consin has an anti-cigarette law for
instance, but it bas never been any
thing but a dead letter because the
people who secured its passage instead
of having it forbid the sale of the pap
er pipers to minors, provision which
would have had all the force of public
opinion behind it for its enforcement,
in their excess Of zeal went too far
and made the law absolutely prohibit
the sale of cigarettes to any one in
the state. In other words they made
the law SO drastic that it defeated it's
own ends. It has never been possible
to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to
adults in this or any other state and
never will be. The only effect of a
fool law Of the kind is to force the
dealers to conduct in secret what
should be an open and above board
business and the secrecy" maintain
ed is more imaginary than real. No
adult has ever had any difficulty in
getting full supplies at any tine
What Is needed is to mix little COM
mon sense with legislation on this
subject and we believe that the teach
ers through their association can get
from the legislature any laws they
may think needed to govern the pur-
chase and use of tobacco in any form
by minors. Furthermore the influence
of the teachers in any community
would be strong enough to secure their
enforcement. 1t would be easy to Sc
cure convictions under such laws,
something that is impossible under
present conditions, for the people
would undoubtedly back up the teacn-
ers in their efforts to Danish tobacco
from the schools.

-Four states in the elections of Nov.
5 granted to women the right to vote
Michigan, Kansas, Oregon and Ari-
IONA. These bring the total of states
having woman suffrage up to ten, the
others being Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Washington and California. In
Wisconsin the proposition to grant
woman suffrage was defeated.
The first woman suffrage convention
in the United States was held in 1s4S.
Wyoming, the first state to give won
en- the ballot, did so in 1869. Colorado
followed in 1898. In Kansas the first
proposed amendment for the purpose
was submitted to the people and re
iected in 1869. Success, where it has
been obtained by the women, has fol-
lowed defeats. They have kept on
asking for the ballot until they got it.
One seldom hears now the arguments
of contemptuous ridicule against the
woman suffrage proposition that were
common a quarter of a century ago.
Serious consideration is the rule now.

many ways, in recent years. Uses

Now that there is something to fight
over in the way of federal patronage
the feeling between the two factions
of the democracy in the state will be
intensified. For the matter of that if
the result of the election and the
stand which the president has taken
could have been foreseen by some CT
the prominent leaders Of the party
there would have been much livelier
battle over the choice of a national
committeeman than there was. Due
to the fact that SO many positions I'M
der the government have been nut In
der the civil service the patronage will
be nothing like it was the last time
the democracy was successful in a
presidential campaign when thousands
of offices changed hands in month
after the Inauguration in response to
the cry of turn the rascals out and
to the victors belong the spells y
from the salary hungry hordes of office
seekers, but what there is will be very
acceptable and the man who has the
dispensing of it will be the most
sought after man in the party.

Local Insurance Agents Get
Copy of Law to Regulate
Insurance in State
MAKES CHANCES IN The WORK
Law Provides for the Inspection of all
Property and for State Commission
to Revise Risk Rates After Made by
the Insurance Companies.

Insurance men in Kenosha this morn
ing received from Madison copies o.
the new proposed insurance legislation
framed to cover fire insurance in the
state and if the bill is passed it will
make radical changes in the business
in Wisconsin. The law provides for the
creation of inspection districts and no
company will be permitted to write in
surance in the state without being con-
nected with one of these districts and
the rate to be charged for insurance
shall be the rate charged in that in
spection district. Copies of all con-
tracts written must be fled with
the officials Of the inspection dis
trict. The inspection bureaus are to be
made up of such insurers as may desire
to do business in any certain district,
and the bureau must have an Office
open to the public at reasonable hours.
Every bureau before making any rate
must file the schedule proposed with the
commissioner of insurance and before
such schedule is made an inspection of
every risk covered in the schedule must
be made. Every company represented in
the bureau of inspection must be mott
fed by mail of all changes in rates.
Every policy issued in the inspection
bureau must bear the stamp of the
bureau. The law gives the right to any
property owner to apply to the Insur-
ance Commission for an investigation
into the rates charged and the Commits
sioner of Insurance will have the right
to change the rate after public hear
ing. The law provides for the appoint
ing of a commission by the Governor to
revise all rates in the state when such
demand is made upon him and this
commission is to be composed of five
men. If this commission finds the rates
unjust OF discriminatory it will have
power to fix rates for all bureaus of
inspection in the state. The usual ap-
peal to the courts from the decision of
the commission is provided for.
The law provides the rate in effect
on October 1, 1912, shall be the maxi
mum rate. The new rates governing
the various inspection bureaus shall be
made public before January l, 1914.
The law strictly provides that all
agreements between insurers shall be
beneficial to the public and open to the
examination of the property owners of
the state. It provides for uniform
blanks to be used by all companies writ
ing insurance in Wisconsin. Every pol
icy will contain a clause providing for
periodic inspections Of the property to
be insured.
Local insurance agents do not seem
to be greatly opposed to the law and
they seem to be Of the opinion that it
will have the effect of doing away with
"wild cat' insurance in the state and
also will have the effect of forcing all
companies writing Wisconsin business
to come under uniform standard. It
is said that the members of the legisla-
ture have given assurance that the
proposed bill will be passed.

Policemen, being only human, can be
pardoned for mauling suspected
criminal when he offers violent resis-
tance to arrest and even threatens the
officers life. A bit of temper by the
officer, even if it results in badly
discolored eye for the prisoner, can
under such circumstances be explained
away on the grounds of expediency.
But there is no excuse for police
bullying prisoner after he has been
lodged behind the bars and cannot
possibly escape the law The comics
sions which the police obtain from
criminals are nearly always obtained
by just such bullying which is spoken
of as giving the prisoner the "third
degree"

of a prosecuting attorney. When bent

Prof. Keedy of the Northwestern
University law school says rightly that
if police methods are to be permitted
they should be legalized. It is pre-
posterous that the examination of
prisoners should be left to the discre.
tion of police officials with no safe
guards. This is to make the officers
OF the law as lawless as the offenders
