The Cooked Hat Business.


Everything at the recent jackson
Day dinner in Washington was as
silk. There was not cloud In the sky,
not diseordant note, and as DIR.
Cook, the Original Disooverer Of the
North Pole, would express it, the ice
was COED, the weather fine and the
travelling easy. Bryan was there and
Champ Clark and Marshall and Hearst
and Woodrow Wilson. The papers
told about how Mr. Bryan received
more applause than all the Test of them
put together, how he smiled upon this
one and paused long enough to pass
the time Of day with that one and
finally, how he engaged himself in
earnest conversation with the governor
of New Jersey by whoaa he lat during
the blissful evening. Some of the
papers Immediately came to the con-
clusion that he was making his last
will and testament in the interest Of
the likellest man, in some respects,
who has appeared in politics for nany
years and pictures were printed Of
those twain standing under the full
glare Of the calcium side BY side,
thinking, perhaps, OF cooked hats or
anything else that woul make them
''look pleasant" 1t locked like such
"a dead sure thing that when Mr..
Bryan reached Philadelphia, it was re-
ported In one OF the papers OF that
somnolent community that Mr.. Bryan
had declaredi. that "Woodrow Wilson
was the most available of the dea o.
cratic presidential candidates and the
most progressive Of any" When Mr..
Brysn reached New York, he denied
that he had ever made such statement,
and is reported by the Sun as follows:
at is not true that 1 spoke of Gov
ernor Wilson as being the most pro-
gressiye of the candidates who are
being talked of. want, OF course, as
n progressive myself, to sec man
nominated who will represent the
ideas of the progressive element; but /
did not say that Governor Wilson was
the best representative ofthat element.
III you were to ask me now which of
the several men who have been men.

ness l could not answer you. / am in
doubt and | hope that before any al
tempt is made to reach an understand
ing there will be the fullest discussion
OF the qualification of those who are
being talked of as possibilities. For
myself / want more llght before | com.
init myself to anyone
Which is TO say that all the candI-
dates who care anything at all for Mr..
Bryan's favor are put on probation,
and will have to 'tcome to tinep before
they can be assured of good regular
standing. They are ''up against it"
as the street says, and we shall all
watch for signs of "progressiveness"
in them hereafter with some alarm lest
they overdo the business Of making
themselves wholly acceptable to the
man who will not sleep when The dead
have been awakened or crouch when
the world is at war with tyrants, or
fail to make hay while the harvest is
ripe. 1t would appear from the story
in the Sun that Mr.. Bryan is not at. all
uncertain that he can do little turn
himself in knocking things into a
cooked hat, if he be so minded. Char

Seattle, Sept. 9.-The Washing
ton state board of health has just is
sued revised rules and regulations
as they were adopted at the last
meeting of the board, held in Seattle
in July. This revision of the rules
is the most important one that has
been carried out since the first rules
of the board were adopted.
The new rule which will have the
most wide-sweeping effect is the one
prohibiting the use of the common
drinking cup after the 1st of October
1912. This prohibition has been eX-
tended to cover all places over which
the state board of health has reason

public buildings, streets. parks, com

serious objection to the enforcement
of this rule, since the experience OF
several other states has proven that

without working hardship on the

AID INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Northwestern Wisconsin Teachers
Association Pledges Members to
Work for Passage of New Law.

Eau Clafre.-The Northwestern
Wisconsin Teachers association
adopted resolutions committing the
association to promote industrial
education by perfecting the forces al
ready inaugurated and pledging its
membership to the work of arousing
favorable legislation whereby gradu-
ates of approved training courses in
high schools would after 1915 be de-
prived of the privilege of teaching
without having attended for one year
county training school or a state
normal department. Officers were
elected as follows: President, w. A.
Clark, Eau Claire; president, A
G.. Finley, Chippewa Falls; second
vice-president, Miss Mabel Ahlstrom,
Rice Lake; treasurer, G. L. Apple
man, Baldwin; secretary, Miss Ma
thilda Miller, Eau Claire; member
executive committee, NJ NJ Ones,
Stevens Point.
Among the resolutions adopted at
the closing session was one endorsing
woman's suffrage, with only one dis
senting voice, said to be a male
teacher from Superior. Prof E. G.

COOPERATION IS URGED
Member State Board of Public Af-
fairs Alleges Farmers Lose MI
lions on Potatoes Alone.

Madison-''If the farmers of Wis
consin would cooperate and market
their own potatoes, figuring three
cents bushel as a conservative saw
ing to them, they would save nearly
$1s0O0,O0O year." is the statement
of a representative of the Wisconsin
state board of public affairs.
1T is a safe estimate" he ex-
claimed, that five cents a bushel
represents the increased profit real
lied by the farmers selling to the
wholesalers and consumers in the
cities through their warehouse oper-
ations. One farmer has not enough
potatoes to make it worth while for
wholesaler to do business with him.
The individual farmer usually sells
his crop to the small local dealer,
who in turn disposes of it to job
Der. And neither the producer nor
the consumer profits by such an ar
rangement, for the potatoes pass
through too many hands. How diff
ferent is the situation when farmers
combine their cooperation and put
up warehouses and deal directly with
the wholesaler, the retailer or con-
sumner"

Madison. IA welcome surprise was
afforded Wisconsin rooters when the
Badger team completely upset the
dope by showing the strong Purdue
team under to the tune of 81 to 0.
Playing great football throughout
the contest, Coach Juneau's hopes
piled up six touchdowns against their
opponents before the final whistle
sounded. Two touchdowns by Jimmy
Van Ripper, one registered after four
minutes of play and one score each
by Ed Gelein, Ofstie, Gillette and
Tormey did the work for Wisconsin.
The game was featured by the clever
headwork and spectacular running
OF Eddie Gillette and by Van Ripper
and Tandberg's consistent line
plunging.
The Purdue team, although strong,
was clearly outpIayed. The Boiler
Makers did not succeed in getting
away with any of the much expected
Keckie Mol special trick plays, be-
ing blocked in three different at
tempts at fancy work behind the line.
Coach Juneau was much pleased with
