BOSSES ARE WIPED OUT

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20.-One Of
the features of the redemption az
Wisconsin that has not attracted great
attention is the rescue of Milwaukee
from partisan politics. Long before
the Socialists broke in here as ad-
ministrators of the city. by the cleo
ion of 1910, party lines really had
ceased to exist.
Party tickets appeared in the vari-
Gus municipal elections, but they we're
put up by the men who had no poll
tics other than desire to control the
city for special purposes and who
worked the political parties as man
ikins.
1t was the same old game and the
same old rule by the special interests.
disreputable elements and politicians
who gave the city inefficient, as we'll
as dishonest administration. Here
things got so bad that city officials
were indicted and bundled off to pris-
on and the administration Of Mayor
Rose became notorious Here they
say the real supporters of Rose were
always the tory" Republicans, IN
stead of the Democrats 1t was a
great Illustration of the fact that par
tisan lines are worked in municipal
affairs purely as a fetish.
Things went along this way until
three years ago Milwaukee was f''rcei
over to the Socialist Marty to escape
the old partisan control
the next was taken last year when
ne people who had debated the old
Republican and Democratic partisan
.rOwd by using the Socialist PARTY
showed aside the old time bosses and
brought out of the wreCkage a ticket
com posed of good men, running on Il
pledge to sCrape of, the political bar

Chamberlain declaration is very
emphatic. 1t is contained in a report
which he has just made to the Secr5-
tary OF Commerce on charges relax
Ing to conditions on vessels on The
Great Lakes, and it has awakened
widespread discussion.
The charges were filed by the Amer
lean Vigilance Association. They al
legged IL was a habit of masters Of
small vessels on the lakes to have
women on board, os-ensiblv as cooks,
but really for immoral purposes. The
association wanted the practice
stopped. One of its arguments was
mat "OiliNl were III TIE way III lilC

pered in their efforts to escape by
the need of looking after the women.
and that women should not be al

were necessarily limited.
Finds Charges Unfounded.
Commissioner Chamberlain was d.

did so. He found the charges against
the masters of the vessels were I'M
founded, and he said as much. The
thing that really aroused his indig-

Meat Club Solves
Problem of Farmers
Rural Housekeepers Band Together
To Keep All Supplied With
Fresh Beef.

ALEXANDRIA, MINI. Sept. 90
A novel farmers club has been dis
covered in the town of Moe, in this
county. This organization is known
as a meat club" and while it has
no formal constitution and bylaws,
there is a tacit agreement among it's
members which is complied with i'm
pliCitly.
The purpose of the club is to sup
ply it's members with fresh meat, es-
peCially in the summer months. when
securing good meat is one of the Sc
rious problems of rural life. The club
has only ten members, though it has
been in operation over twenty years.
The club has a fixed price for the
front and hind quarter cuts, that of
the former at present being cents,
while the hind quarter cuts are fig
ured at 10 cents. The member at
whose house the cutting takes place
keeps most of the soup bones.
