hundred yards from the Point OF Pines

direction. They came none too soon,
for as the nearest one came up TO the
partly submerged aeroplane It sank in

mittee are followed After speeches
today by Clifford Pinchot and John d,
Fackler, the committee, most Of them

We are opposed to the denomination
OF President Taft. We hereby declare
IL to he the determined purpose Of the
Ohio progressive republican league to
work in harmony and unison to nominate
a progressive republican for president,
recognizing as fellow progressivcs all
who hold the principles for which we
stand whether they be for the presl-
Dental nomination Of Robert NJ la
Toilette or Theodore Roosevelt or any
other progressive republican.

Laws for Children
Will Be Discussed

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Eighth an
nual conference OF thenational child labor
committee will be held in Louisville, KY,
January 25-2s.
The nationa child labor committee
which has helped TO get better child labor
laws in thirty states this year. will bring
together representatives of it's twenty
seven affiliated state committees and
has also invited the governors of all
states to send delegates to the confer
ence.
Owen r. Lovejoy, the general secretary
Of the committee, said today that "the
employer is usually blamed for child
labor. But there are other reasons,
and one Of the most perplexing elements
in the problem is the fact that the
children themselves are against US. They
want TO get out Of school at the earliest
possible moment and enter wage-earn-
ing industries. The live school men are
helping change all this"
The conditions in which children work
in dotton mills, glass factories, coal
mines. sweat shops, oyster and shrimp
packing houses, street trades and other
industries will be described In addresses
and by an extensive exhibit OF charts
and photographs.

Six Thousand Fire

COLUMBUS. Neb.. Jan. 1.-(special
Telegram.) )-F'ire at o'clock this even
ing destroyed the Bee Hive Livery and
Feed stable. the loss being over 5000.
The fire was discovered by a passerby
and at the time was bursting through
the roof. over twenty horses were in
the stable at the time, but Il is under
stood that all were gotten out.
The fire originated in the southwest
corner OF the building where there was
no fire and its origin Is a mystery. The
building and contents were owned by II
p. II. oehlick, president OF the CONNER
cial National bank,
For a time II looked as II the Klug
Implement warehouse just east would
also be burned, but this was saved
although the stock OF implements was
removed from the building. The bitter
cold weather made the work of coping
with the fire very hard for the firemen.
Before the firemen had the first blaze
under control a second alarm was turned
in, this fire being in the Barstler Toy
and Notion store on Eleventh street,
which was being closed out during the
holidays. The fire at this place originated
In the center OF the store and for a time
promised to be a bad blaze The stock
and building are badly damaged and the
two adjoining stores. r. n. Waide's gro
Gerry and Frischolz Bros clothing and
shoe store were damaged by smoke, but
the fire walls prevented any great loss.
The new chemical engine. recently pur-
chased by the city. did splendid work at
the last fire.

LA TOILETTE is ADVISED
TO DITCH PINCH0T

DEADWOOD, s. D., Jan. 1.-(special)
The following is a copy Of a telegram
sent to Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilette by
the chairman of the republican primary
organization Of Lawrence county, South
Dakota:
Hon. Robert NJ. Ia Toilette, Cincin-
natl. o.: Clifford PinchOt, former chief
of the forestry department, is dscredited
in the northwestern states and is re-
garded as a theoretical "Bugoligist" by
all the progressive party leaders. II
you hope to make progress as a presi-
dental possibility. 1t is imperative that
you cancel his engagement as one OF
your companions. IL was Pinchot who
employed an army OF young boys from
the east to be shipped TO this western
country TO study forestry at the expense
of the United States government, but in
stead OF occupying their time at such a
task they were in the shade of the trees
smoking cigarettes and reading dime
novels and when the great forest fires
occurred they became lost In the woods
and many of them perished in the flames.

WISCONSIN IS PROSPEROUS
Senator La Toilette Discusses Con-
ditions in His State.
PUBLIC SERVICE IS CONTROLLED
Investments, He Says, Are Safe for
All, Instead of the Speculative
Few-BusIness Failures
Fewer.

FLINT, Mich, Jan. 1.-Spealxing before
a large audience, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette today took for his theme How
Wisconsin has prospered under it's pro-
gressive administration" and declared
that progressive legislation in wiscon-
sin has not been destructive as its enc
mics predicted.
Instead of driving capital out of the
state" he said ut has attracted capital
more than other states. 1t has made in
vestments safe for all. instead of specu-
lative for q few, 1t has been conserva-
tive and constructive as well as pro-
gressiVe. Not one or these progressive
laws has been overturned by the supreme
court OF the state. and not one has been
carried into the federal courts"
Continuing, Senator La Toilette said
THE general business conditions In Wis
consin conclusively show that instead OF
being retarded by progressive legislation,
Wisconsin has advanced financially and
commercially more rapidly than the
country taken as a whole.
Judged by commercial failures. Wis
consin has prospered better than the en-
tire country.
During ten years of progressive legis-
lation, the expenses of the state have
increased, but the burden OF taxes upon
the people has decreased
'The property of the state is paying
21 per cent less taxes in prportion to its
value than It did ten years ago.
Going into details of the results ac-
complished. the speaker said; Having
brought the steam railroads of Wisconsin
under state control, we proceeded to ex-
tend the control of the railroad COM
mission over all the other public utilities
In the commonwealth. For the year
1910 compared with 1909. notwithstand-
ing reductions in rates and improvement
in services, the water utilities increased
their net earnings 1916 per cent; the tele-
phone utilities, 6,S per cent; the gas
utilities, ~ per cent: and electric utili-
ties 27.5 per cent. These utilities have
even exceeded the railroads in the rate
at which they have made cash invest
ments in new construction.
while the increase in railroad con-
struction has averaged 25 per cent q
year for six years, the water utilities IN
1910 increased their new construction OF
property per cent over 1909; the tele-
pnone utilities 40 per cent; the gas
utilities 1.6 per cent; and electric utli-
ties 35.5 per cent Wisconsin certainly
is not driving capital out of the state
