Southern Representation.


=
The South, once more. has full
representation at the National CAPITAL
Washington. d. C. The KEYS of the
national have been rendered to the
south The gates of the Eldorado have
been opened to the view of the out
side world. And, this rich, fertile land
OF ours, wonderful in productiveness,
resplendent in beauty, is causing the
eyes of myriads to look toward it with
longing. When Woodrow Wilson was
swept into power on the Democratic
ticket of 1912, the hopes OF our faith
ers were realized in that, a Southern
born man had, at last, been elected
President of these United States. Five
OF the men in President Wilson'S cah,-
het-hlS chief advisers-are Southern
born men. The chief Justice of the
united states supreme court is a ma
tive OF Louisiana This tribunal. which
sits at Washington, is one of the great
est and one Of the most powerful
tribunals on earth and a Southerner
presides over it! Not since the days
OF Calhoun has the South had such n
grip on the affairs Of the nation.
When the heroes of the reconstruc
ton days laid the cornerstone for
this-the New South they set their
aim high, and now they have reaned
thelr fondest wishes. Southern rep
resentation is great A Southerner
is Speaker of the National House of
Representatives. Another man of the
south is President pro TEN of the
United States Senate. A South Caro-
llnian is Secretary of that body. The
fourth assistant postmaster-genera
is ID. G. Roper of South Carolina. I'm
derwood OF Alabama is floor leader of
the House. Years ago people thought
1t mere nonsense to talk of electing
Southern man President, But i'm n
few short years things have greatly
changed. Among others of the Edo
rado who have been mentioned for
the presidency, are: Champ Clark of
Missouri; Oscar Underwood of AIaba-
ma; b. r. Tillman of South Carolina:
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
Clark has made a splendid record i'm
public life. Clark received more
votes in the pre-convcntion campaign
than Wilson. Underwood's record in
Congress has been splendid one.
and it was thought that he would
have certainly secured more votes
than Wilson, had he run for the
presidency. b. r.. Tillman has been
chairman of, probably. the most pow
erful committee in the United States
Senate. The South is making great
strides. The North and West have
come to marvel at the wonderful flu
turc that looms up before us. Verify,
Southern Representation is great

Warning to Persons
Using City Water

The city is now putting in some
new equipment at the Junction
Falls power plant which prevent
the use of the dam at that point.
For this reason the city is obliged
to rely upon the steam plant and
the Powells Falls plant for power
to supply light and water to the
the citizens.
The hot weather now prevailing
has had the effect of causing large
extra use of water and considerable
over use, especially in lawn sprink-
ling and failure to observe the
rules In relation to the use of water.
Water can only be used for lawns
between the hours of in the morn
ing and eight in the morning and
six and eight in the evening, and
must be used with hose held in the
hand except that lawn sprinkler of
a moderate size may be used for
one hour.
1t is noticeable that many sprink-
lers are running in some places be-
fore six in the evening and quite
often more than an hour day. AS
the city is now situated for power
it is impossible to keep the reser-
voir full, the full capacity Of the
wells being reached some of the
time each day,
The council therefore requests OF
all users of water to be moderate in
the use of water and to restrict the
use for lawn purposes to not exceed
ing one hour a day.
Attention is also called to the
fact that customer has no right to
use water for wat ering vegetable
gardens and that this use must be
discontinued during the present ex-
igency.
Dangerous fires are liable to hap
pen in dry hot weather and it is alb
solutely necessary that a fire pres
sure be kept up which cannot be
done when large number of per-
sons are sprinking lawns at the
same time. Hence it is very desir-
able to limit the hours of such use
of water. In case of fire alarm all
sprinking must be discontinued.
By ORDER Or THE COUNCIL.

POPULAR TALKS ON Law
MILK AND MUNICIPALITIES
BY Waiter K. Towers, A. B., j. D., Of the
Michigan Bar.

The regulation of the milk supply
is matter that is of vital interest,"
to all of us. To the babies the
difference between good and bad
milk is the difference between life
and death. To a great many of us
milk and cream mean either nour.
ishment or disease according as it
is pure or impure. Typhoid ep-
idemics have been frequently traced
to an impure milk supply and tuber-
culous cows spread dreaded plag-
ne to those who consume the milk.
The law has given the weight of
authority to the regulation of milk
by municipal ordinance and state
legislative enactments. These laws
have for their purpose not only the
safeguarding of the milk supply
against disease but also the separa-
ton of all relations between the pro-
duct of the COW and the far-famed
milkman's pump. Watered milk
has frequently drawn down the
lightnings of the law as we'll as
furnished inspiration for the pro-
fessional jokesmith. 1t was the sub
ject of the following diatribe, of
which St. Louis Judge recently re-
lieved himself in the case of city
against purveyor of diluted milk.
Milk" said the wearer of the err
mine, AN object of profound and
vigilant concern to the modern law
maker, has been always part and
parcel of the daily life, the ad-
ages and folklore of mankind.
For examples: We are told not to
cry over split milk-that is not to
fret over real loss that can't be
helped. The Russian has an adage,
That which is taken in with
the milk only goes out with the soul
that is, early impressions last
till death. The Swede has one
denoting hospitality, viz, When
there is milk in the can for one,
there is milk in the can for two.
In the phrase, The milk of human
Kindness is expressed the very
heart and Office of that gentle
but noble virtue. The bard
of bards does not hesitate to
connect milk and philosophy,
deeming that neither loses dig
nifty by the juxtaposition, he speaks
of 'Adversity's sweet milk,

OIL OR MORE WATER

Several cities of this section of
the state are planning to try oiling
their streets as substitute for the
water sprinking system. With the
coming of the picnic season and the
glorious Fouth the poor old water
wagon appears to be getting more
and more unpopular, and now it
looks as though the time worn or
iginal itself would be relegated to
the discard. The street sprinkling
system here has never been any too
satisfactory, mostly on account of
the fact that it has not been extern
sive enough, and partly because of
the condition in which it leaves the
streets muddy on one side and
dusty on the other, with only
very few minutes, intermission
of the "just right" stage. A con-
slant sprinkling service to include
all streets in the square surround
ed by Cascade avenue on the south,
Sixth street on the east, Division
street on the north, and as far west
as the public schools, with perhaps
a few side trips, would certainly be
a fine improvement. Under the pres
ent system the cost of such SER
vice would be altogether too much
to maintain, but as other cities of
this size have as thorough service
as the above there must be some
method of cheaper operation. 1t
would be we'll to look into the oiling
proposition, as it might be very
good idea, and well worth adopting
in River Falls. The contents of
stores and of homes in this city
have suffered considerable damage
from street dust for years and years
and it is high time for some remedy
to be attempted.

There will undoubtedly be a great
deal of traffic on the main streets
of this city next Saturday while the
Omaha shop people of ST. Paul are
having their annual picnic here, and
while the city officials will undoubt-
edly take extra precautions against
traffic accidents, it might be we'll
for motorists and pedestrians to al
SO exercise little extra precaution
on this occasion.

Il thai luC QCalGT KNEW lnaI the milk
was adulterated. 1t becomes his duty
TO see to it that the milk which he
sells is pure and up to the standard
set by the law, and if he does not
he is legally liable. Both the man
who owns the business and the
servant who drives the wagon are,
in general, liable under the law.
But the laws have gave gone even
further than requiring licenses and
prohibiting adultertion. They have
regulated the conditions under
which the milk is produced and
transported and precribed standards
of richness. Regulations forbidding
the sale within the town of milk
from cows fed on slops, or brewers
malt, or kept in unsanitary premi-
SEES have been upheld. The defend
ants in these cases were not allow
ed to show that the milk was
nevertheless. perfectly wholesome;
the fact that the law prohibits
the sale of such milk is final. Ii is
matter properly within the regula-
ton of the law making power. The
municipality may also require that
all cows be subjected to tuberculin
and other tests, and that no milk be
sold within the town limits except
from tested cows.
Even though the dealer be licens-
ed and his milk come from proper
ly fed and cared for cows, and
there be no adulteration of any kind
the milk may yet be barred because
1t is not up to required standard
of richness. A requirement of
three per cent of fat in milk and of
twenty per cent of fat in cream
has been held reasonable. Where
the laws provide, the health officers
may seize without compensation
sufficient quantities of milk to make
tests. The analysis Of competent
authorities, unless shown to be err
roneous, is taken by the courts as
the final test as to whether the milk |
in question was up to the required
standard. Ordinances permitting
the seizure and destruction of all |
milk found TO be impure or below
the required standards are support
ed by the courts and generally en-
forced.
Of course the municipality may
make valid regulations governing
the measures of quantity in use by
the dealers. The citizens through |
their Legislative representatives
they aldermen or members of the
village board-may provide these
as we'll as those protect
ing them against impure or weak
milk. All but oficially-tested
measures may be barred and ordi-
nances not infrequently require that
milk shall be sold only in bottles or
jars permanently marked with their

have been filed with the new ad
ministration by Democratic sup
porters of President Wilson, indi
eating about one application on filt
for every 81 votes he received. The
same authority states that only
1884 political positions are fol-
distribution, resulting eventu ally
in disappointment to 10000 appli.
cants or twelve blanks for every
prize awarded.
A statement was recently given
out by President Wilson to the eff
feet that lobbyists were secretely
trying to change some of the SEIZED
ules of the Underwood bill. In
order to ascertain the facts, Senator
Cummins introduced resolution
calling upon the President for in
formation on which to base an in
vestigation by the Senate. The un-
precedented secrecy surrounding
the preparation and passage of the
Underwood bill gave color to many
idle rumors at the time. Charges
were made on the floor that the
sugar refners were united in de-
handing free sugar for the purpose
of destroying the independent con-
Germs and that representatives of
the sugar trust were uniting with
other agencies in secretly influence
ing the preparation and passage of
the bill. The public is entitled to
the lime light on anything that af-
fects legislation and the secret work
of lobbyists now is as reprehensible
as it would have been in the prepar-
alton of the bill. The Senate has
decided to support President Will
son by full investigation.
A criticism of the votes cast
against the Underwood bill by all
the Republican members of Con-
gress including all those from Wis
consin together with all but three
of the SO called Progressive men,
bers, has been called to the writer's
attention. Over two hundred let-
tiers received by me, many of them
from Tenth District farmers, urged
opposition to the bill on different
items. During the debate many
speeches attacking inconsistencies
in schedules were made and the
writer carefully studied the pro-
posed bill and compared its rates
in other tariff bills, because every
body wanted to vote a downward
revision. However not one amend
ment of hundreds offered by the
Republicans, was accepted. 1t was
a creature of the steam roller.
Promises that it would destroy diff
ferent industries were INDUCED in
of schedules, with all these facts
before Congress and confessed
statements that only a handful of
members were familiar with propos-
ed changes, it is a rash man who
never having read the bill, contain
ing over 1000 items, accepts news
paper statements of its character,
and declares he would have voted
for it. If the Underwood bill brings
a better condition of affairs, we
shall all be happy; but straddling
bill that hits the North. protects the
South and invites destruction of
many legitimate industries is at
best dangerous experiment. That
was the Judgment of every Repub-
lican who voted against it and of
Democrats who were frightened or
caioled into voting for it.
