REGULATING THE NEWSPAPERS.

The Washington Democrat insists
that the federal government, in adj
dition to the federal laws now in OPP
Grafton in regulation of the press.
should require all publications to
charge a fixed rate for subscriptions
We presume our contemporary means
that newspapers and other publica-
tons should be prohibited from offer
ing any Inducements" for the pur-
pose of increasing subscription lists
through discounts, the rendering of
premiums, the giving of prizes and the
like. That could mean nothing less
than an acknowledgement of the right
of the federal government TO fix arbi-
trarily the subscription rates of the
believe, is absurd. One of the south
western states, We think. has tried to
bring about what the Democrat sug-
gests by a statutory enactment. But
it is a ridiculous and an indefensible
assumption of state authority over a
private enterprise.
If the federal government is to con-
troll the subscription price of the news
papers, then il follows as a logical
and unacceptable sequence that the fed
eral government must likewise con-
troll the advertising prices. There
fore We should soon have the govern
mental supervision of the press of the
country in a most abhorrent form.
There would be-there could be no
such thing as a free press under such
conditions.

In Richmond cooperation is lacking
in regard to civic rightness. Some
critically question the honest effort of
those disposed to keep abreast of a
worldwide endeavor for high grade
citizenship. The years have been few
since three "R" proficiency in a school
curriculum constituted the ideal liber-
al education while today the National
Education association of America in
cludes in it's catalogue a course in
"Good-Will' requiring an equal amount
of devotion to Regard For Civic
Beauty" as to perfection in other de-
partments.
Heavy centure falls here as else

missness in law and order the mayor,

of duty and unfailingly insisting upon
it. To the citizen belongs the correct
control of public service. Let him
pass the time he employs in denounc-

influence for right measures and in
reporting violations to the proper au-

Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round in every town,
Growing, grouchy. always grumbling,
Knocking every good thing down?
If all things don't run to suit you
And the world seems going wrong,
Why not take a hand at boosting
Just to help the cause along?
Keep a-boosting. Keep a-going
Tell the world Your city's fine
Take your stand with honest effort
To improve in every line.

Says Report Is False.

The statement appearing in the
morning papers to the effect that 80
patients in the state asylum at Men
dota were afflicted with smallpox is
called a gross exaggeration by Secre-
tary NJ. j. Tappin of the board of con-
troll, who says that only three cases in
a mild form have developed at that in
stitution, with three more patients
having slight symptoms.
Although the cases are far from
alarming, the board ,of control has
quarantined the hospital, and no new
patients will be received until the
epidemic is over" said Mr. Tappin.
Whoever gave the newspaper the
statement that there were 80 patients
suffering with smallpox was misin-
formed. We wish to correct this error
in order to set at rest the fears of rel
atives of the inmates. Furthermore,
smallpox Is not dangerous disease in
the light of modern medical science,
and the greatest of precautions will be
taken to care for the affected persons
and prevent the spread of the disease"
The three patients suffering with the
malady have been isolated.

Periodical inspection of Buildings
to Cause Reduction in Fire Losses.

Madison-The report of the Wis
consin legislative fire insurance in
vestigating committee has been filed
with the governor. II the recommen-
dations it makes are carried into ell
feet the insurance companies Will De
made directly responsible for the
rates which they charge for ire IN
surance. This means that the power
of rate making will be taken away
from the boards of local agents and
that the companies will be required

bureaus in the making of rates, which
will be subject to review on appeal.
: A radical reduction of fire losses
is to be sought through periodical
inspection of all buildings in cities
and villages, except dwellings. Such
inspections are to be made every SIX
months and every three months
within the fire limits, by or under the
chiefs of the fire departments, and
the fire department dues paid by the
insurance companies will be with
held from fire departments which
the state fire marshal finds have not
made the inspections.
Other points in the investigating
committees report are:
Agents face state civil service ex-
animation.
One agent to territory.
Twenty per cent commission for
agents.
Licensing of adjusters.
Cooperation between companies.
Improved fire prevention methods.
Cooperation in the state laws be-
tween states.

ance. April 10 is the date set for
the rehearing of the appointment.

Detectives Cause Expenses.


That one-sixth of the state ex-

ing defective people in the various in

atories, and that the number of such
cases could be greatly reduced
through the application of the princi,
pies of eugenics, or proper mating,
was the main point brought out in
the address by Prof. NJ F. Guyer at
the fortnightly meeting of the Draper
club, held in the auditorium of the
biology building, Madison.
Professor Guyer showed by stereop-
ticon charts the influence of certain
diseases. such as St. Vitus dance, al
coholism, tuberculosis, as well as in
sanity and abnormal development. up
on succeeding generations, and made
plain the danger of allowing defective
or diseased people to marry. The
notorious "Jukes" family was one OF
the subjects taken up as an illustra-
ton of the transmission of crime and
disease from father to son and on
down the line Out of 1900 members
OF this family in New York, only one
was normal and innocent of crime.
