FORMER CONGRESSMAN
is DETROIT VISITOR
Declares knocks" on Seidel Ad-
ministratiOn in Milwaukee
"All Lies"

Victor l.. Berger, editor OF the Mil
waukee Leader. and the only Socialist
who ever sat In the United States con-
gress, passed through Detroit, Satur'
day. on his way home from lecture
tour OF the eastern universities, In
Guiding Columbia. New York, Yale,
Harvard. Wesleyan and other New
England institutions.
The growth of the Socialist party
is shown by the last election" said
Mr.. Berger. The Republican party
lost votes. Taft and Roosevelt COM
bined did not get as many as Taft got
in 1908. The Democrats lost votes.
Wilson did not get as many as Bryan
in former years. The Prohibition
party lost 40 per cent. The Socialists
gained lis per cent, polling almost
100000 votes.
1t is true that | was defeated for
reelection TO congress. but IL was by
q combination OF Republicans and
Democrats. Milwaukee is the only
city OF the new party-the Non-parti-
san Democratic-Fusion party. They
elected Republican stand-patter IN
my place. man who for ten years
was Cannon's right bower. Such is
politics In Milwaukee. was beaten
by only 1905 votes. which wasn't 50
bad.
Il am sorry that was not reflect
ed. not for personal reasons, for
nave enough to do as editor OF the
Leader. but because my presence in
congress was good for the country.
While ! was there. the country got
a better idea OF what Socialism is.
The congressman paid me good deal
OF attention, and though my speeches
were. for the most part. running fights
OF question and answer. yet | enjoyed
the work and always got hearing.
will you be a candidate again ?"
Mr.. Berger was asked
II suppose so. IL live he replied.
The Republican party, which polled
5000. 900 votes and more in the last
election. has 50 representatives in
congress; the Socialist party, with
nearly a million votes. has not one.
That Is unjust and undemocrattc.
believe congress Is sorry for that sit
uation. too. judging by the reception
they gave me when made my last
speech.
The unfavorable stories about the
government OF Milwaukee during Sci
dels administration are all lies. The
administration couldn't do much. be-
cause there were % injunctions out
against us In two months. and had
i've libel suits to fight. We are still
governed under the charter OF 1897;
We have no home rule; We have to
go to the legislature for everything.
We couldn't string wire from police
headquarters TO the city hall without
permission from Madison that's a
fact. Nevertheless Seidel. who was
elected with 27,000 votes. received
$4,000 votes when he was defeated.
II Milwaukee were so badly governed,
why did the Old parties have to COM
bine to beat u.s."

PLACE MINNOWS

Several cans OF small bass minnows

forts have been made 10 restock the

Whether restocking the lake will
solve the question OF building up the

Smith. proprietor OF the summer no
tel and resort. According TO Smith.
very small results are reached from
placing small fish in the lake in this
manner as the home fish devour the
majority of them.
According to the resort proprietor,
large quantities of the fish are taken
from the lake during the winter time.
The fish are caught before egg laying
season and the stock has no chance
to multiply, is Smiths reason for the
growing scarcity.
Summer resort season has closed
at all the lakes. and in spite OF the
fact that the water has been extraor-
binary hot the season has been light.
The opening was late and the hot
weather tended to keep the larger
part of the people away rather than
attract them to the resort

Did you ever see a girl working at
the shoemaking and mending bust
ness?
We usually think it is a man only
who can do this sort of work.
Here is the picture Of a little girl
who has entire charge of an old
fashioned shoeshop.
She knows, perfectly well. how TO
patch hole neatly. She can half sole
shoes as well as her father can.
You see. she has been learning this
strange trade for ten years. When
she was five years old, she commenced
paying regular visits TO the shoeshop
which belonged to her father. Bit by
bit she picked up first one piece Of
work and then another until now she
knows IL all She wears a big Gather
apron while handling the shoes.
It's a novel occupation but she
thinks it is much pleasanter working
in her fathers shop than out away
from home at something else.
