done it.
1t is pleasing TO note, however, that in
the prosecution of his dirty task, he has
blackened himself far worse than any

is getting his mud is now sufficiently
deep TO make for the gentleman po-

absolutely no resurrection. The funeT-

-AAny old frlenns
Mput through his own bill for the re-
fund of the tax money that was collect
ed on cotton from the Southern States
during the years from ~ to 81. Mr..
Clark said he couldn't hope TO pass his
bill without supporting the pension
bill. In other words he admitted that
he traded with the enemy. He voted
for pension increase of ST, 200, 900 in
order TO gain votes from Northern mem
bers for his bill which carries an appro.
priation of sos, 900, 900.
To say nothing of the dangerous prin.
ciple underlying this character of legis-
lation, il is clear that the trade which
Mr.. Clark would make is a poor one
even from a money standpoint In any
event the explanation, or excuse, for
voting for the outrageous pension grab
is one that exhibits the extremitieS to
which Mr. Clark is driven to reinstate
himself in the opinion of his constitu-
ents. AS we previously remarked, it is
pitiful TO see public man play out in
the opinion of the people who have
honored him, but the people are not TO
blame. They delight to honor a man
who is faithful. If he fails in this fore.
most essential, he has, as a rule, no one

FRANK CLARK'S

Representative Frank Clark opened
his campaign at Gainesville THURSDAY
night of last week. He spoke at grea
length. His speech covered page o.
fine print in the Times Union. 1t i:
doubtful if many read the speech in it:
entirety. Those who did were undoubt
eddy impressed with its futility and the
lack OF the old time fire and aggressive.
ness that has characterized Frank CIark's
public utterances.
There is something pitiful in the de.
cadence OF public man, but il merely
goes TO support the biblical assertion
that all flesh is grass. Some men last
longer than others. Frank Clark is a
veteran OF many political battles, but he
has reached that period when he is un-
der the stern necessity of explaining to
those who have honored him, and his
explanations fail TO satisfy. He floun.
dered about in manner which must
have been embarrassing to his friends in
attempting to justify his votes on the
tariff and the pension bills.
In regard to the latter he argued first
that he was bound by the Democratic
rule of allegiance to the majority to
support the Sherwood bill 7s,., 81, Tfuug

J. w. Barwell Of Waukegan, has

ABANDON BIC STEAMER
Steamer ''FlOra NJ. Hill"
to be Turned Over to
Government.
HULL is TO Be DYNAMITED

The Hill Transportation company of
this city, has definitely decided to aban-
don the big steel steamer "Flora M.
Hill' to the federal government and
what remains of the vessel will be de-
stroyed under the direction of the gov
eminent engineers. The steamer lies
about half mile off the government
piers at the entrance to the Chicago
harbor and in it's present position is re-
garded as a menace to navigation. The
vessel was caught in the ice pack on
one of its trips from this city to Chica-
go and had it's stern so badly crushed
in by the pressure Of the ice that the
captain was unable to keep her afoat
long enough to bring her into harbor.
The Hill was especially rebuilt Cor
winter navigation and was considered
to be one of the staunchest and best
equipped freight and passenger boats in
the regular winter service of the lakes.
The sinking of the boat occurred in
February and was attended with no
loss of life. The captain and crew of
the vessel, including one woman, when
the order was given to abandon the
ship made their escape over the ice
foes to the government crib. AS soon
as the ice was out Off the lake this
spring the Hill company commenced
work on the vessel with view of rails
ing her, but it was found that the cost
of floating the boat and repairing her is
prohibitive and the company finally de-
cided to abandon the ship. Divers have
been at work On the sunken ship, re-
moving what they could get at of the
fittings and machinery of the vessel, but
their work is. about completed. The
government engineers will tow the hull
further out into the lake and destroy it
with dynamite.
The Flora NJ. Hill was purchased by
the Hill company from the government
and put into service between this city
and Chicago, to take care of the COM
pany's rapidly increasing business. Dur
ing the time the vessel was owned by
the government it was employed in the
light house service. When the vessel
was secured by the Hill people, it was
entirely rebuilt at cost of over
$4,000.

PLAN RECORD FIGHT
Social Democrats Organic
ing County With View of
Vigorous Campaign.
SEEK CONVERTS ON FARMS

Social Democrats of Kenosha county
are planning to make the most vigorous
campaign in the history of the party in
the county this year and to this end
party leaders have begun the work of
organizing the entire county. Frederick
Guy Strickland of Dayton, Ohio, and
one of the national organizers of the
party, has been brought here from Day
ton, Ohio, and for the next three weeks
he is to give his entire time to boosting
the cause. The work of organization
will not be carried on alone in the city,
but the organizers will go out in the ru-
raj districts and seek converts to social
ism on the farms and along the rural
routes. The leaders of the party have
announced that they will have a full
ticket in the field this year and that
some Social Democrats will seek cleo
tion to every county and legislative

ton.
At the last national election the So
cial Democratic party polled a total of
$50 votes in this county, The leaders
declare that the vote of the party will
be doubled this year. Organizer strick-
land is expected to stir things up some
and after he has started things moving
other orators will be sent into the
county to spread the doctrine. Many
of them will be Of the E'soap box
variety, but they will be speakers who
will attract attention. The red school
houses along the country roads are to
be visited and the leaders claim that
the farmers offer a fertile field for the
spreading Of socialistic doctrine.
Already funds are being raised to pay
the cost of the campaign and there will
be no lack of the munitions of war
along this line. The Social Democrats
not only viii appeal to the voters by
speakers, but it is planned to food the
county with literature put out by the
national committee of the party. The
campaign year isregarded by the social
lists as the best possible time to spread

that they expect to elect single man

assert that they feel certain that when
the votes are counted they viii show a
large increase in voting strength.

Simon Kander of Milwaukee, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin State Association
for the Blind, and DR.. G. l. Hogue of
Milwaukee, chairman of the special
committee on the prevention of blind
ness, asked the board to prescribe
specific rules and regulations for the
prevention of infantile blindness, but
it was decided that recommendation
to the effect above r oted was advisable.
There are about 1900 blind persons
in this state. It is estimated that fully
one-third of the blindness due to avoid
able causes results from opthalmia neo-
