" criticising Governor McGovern for
acting arbitrarily and not in good
faith in Diminishing Ekern from office
on the ground of political activity.
This report marked the close of two
days investigation conducted by the
senate, McGovern declining to attend
this probe in person or by counsel for
the reason that he did not believe
the senate had jurisdiction to investi-
gate the case.
On the day following the action of
the senate in clearing Ekern, Judge
E. Ray Stevens in the circuit court
of Dane county, announced his deci-
sion in the case brought by Ekern to
secure an injunction to restrain Gov
ernor McGOvern from forcfbIy removing
him from office. When the first at
tack was made on Ekern's office this
court issued a temporary restraining
order against the governor, but the
court declined to make this a perma-
nent order.
Both Sides Claim Victory.
While both sides claim victory as
result of the stand of the court, it is
apparent that Governor McGovern is
seriously considering another attack
on the insurance department in order
to install Lewis A Anderson, whom
he named as Ekern's successor. The
senate refused to confirm the appoint
ment of Anderson, but McGOvern i'm
mediately reappointed him and is as
Stunning that his appofntee is the legal
commissioner.
Ekern made such successful stand
against McGovern and Anderson
when the first attack was made that
1t has been limited that the next time
war is declared that the state militia
may be called upon to remove Ekern
and install Anderson. This rumor
was given color because of long con-
ference between NIcGovern and Ad-
jutant General Boardman following
the decision of the court.
Governor McGovern and Anderson
maintain that under the decision of
the court the governor is no longer
under any legal restraint. John A.
Awkward, attorney for Ekern, how
ever, has given an Interpretation to
the decision which amounts to a vic
tory for Ekern and removes the pos
sibility of further assault upon the in
surance department. Awkward says
that while the court ruled against
the permanent restraining order, it
pointed out that the governors power
in the matter ended with the removal
from Office of an official and that the
governor is clothed with no authority

Assemblyman Anderson's bill to
abolish fraternities and sororities at
the University of Wisconsin has
brought out a series Of spirited meet
ings before the assembly committee
on education. The bill has developed
a strong opposition. 1t is considered
possible that the measure will pass
the assembly, but the impression pre-
walls that it will be defeated in the
senate. Assemblyman Ackley intro
duced another bill which has a bear
ing upon the life of students in edu-
cational institutions supported by the
state His bill abolishes all dances
given by class organizations in such
institutions. The measure is aimed
especially at the junior prom" held
at the university each year.
Two educational bills Of general in

CENTER OF DRUM INDUSTRY


Tho town Of Granville, Mass, sends
out nearly half a million toy drums
every year. It II no wonder that
Granville lads, however soldierly.
care nothing about drums. for they
are too old story.
A In other businesses, there 10
constant demand for new models ana
designs, and . popular drum OF today
may ind no sale tomorrow.
A unique drum made number Of
pears ago has never been duplicated.
It was made for advertising purposes,
and the hoops were eight feet in d.
ameter.
A search was made all about Gran
Vile for the biggest cattle. and
whole hide was used for head. Be.
lore the drum was put together .
horse was driven through the barrel.
30 that an idea Of its size can be
obtained
The ''drumsticks" were small tele-
graph poles" The drum was taken
to Boston and exhibited. The build
ing in which it was displayed COZ
lapsed, however, and the huge drum
was ruined. But its memory still
lives In Granville and has become
tradition of the place.
A peculiar feature In connection
with the drums shipped to the Pa
cific coast 10 that the heads. which
are unable to stand, the dampness
and heat of tropical Sea voyage. are
sent across the country by rail.
When the parts arrive they are set
up again. and the drums are ready for
sale. The drums are first put togeth-
or before leaving the factory. and
each part fitted, so that the reas-
sembling IL an easy matter.
The process Of making drums 70.
veals the Same minute subdivision Of
labor that is shown in all modern
manufacturing. How minute this II
maybe shown by the fact that . single
workman IL able to turn out more
than 1000 pieces . day Of some Of
the parts. The making Of the heads
II an interesting process.
The sheepskins arrive In q par.
tally dressed state, and are at once
scraped and dried. Cutters are put
to work and circular pieces cut out.
Part OF the waste 10 used in max
ing snarsdrums and the rest ID
shipped to the glue factory. The inner
drumheads are made Of calfskin.
stretched and dried by special pro.
cess.
The wooden barrel of the drum ID
made By machine, which takes log
Of wood and peels from it, somewhat
- . skin 10 peeled from an apple.
