BLAZE ON SToNESHED ROOF.
Flames Were Being Famed by a Strong
Wind.

Fire threatened the destruction of the
large granite shed in Smiths meadow Off
Blackwell street owned by Comolli &
Co, yesterday afternoon. Jumpers
working in the yard saw the roof aiire
and hurry call to fire headquarters
brought the auto truck and regulars to
the meadow. The tiremen found a stiff
blaze confronting them and it was not
until they had scaled the roof and di-
rected copious draughts of chemical
fluid toward the fire that thir efforts be-
gan to have a telling effect A brisk
breeze from somewhere up north bore
down on the roof and famed the fire
along the shingled covering. The shin
giles proved to be fine fuel for the flames
and the regulars had to do their handi
est to keep them within bounds.
When the last sign of fire had been
drenched it was found that an area some
25 feet in length had been travelled
by the fire. The loss will not be heavy
and the damage is fully insured Men
at the plant join with the firemen in
ascribing the origin of the blaze to
sparks from the big chimney that looms
up over the engine room. The call at
the station was received at 2:30 o'clock.
A half hour later the men were back in
their quarters.

Weather Forecast.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-09-18

To APPRECIATE the stupendous char
acter of the War of the Nations which
is now in full swing on the continent of
Europe, we must bear in mind two
facts: first, that it is war to the
death; second, that in the full realiza-
ton of the absolute finality of the re-
suit, every one of the contending ma
tions has already called out or has
stated that it will do so, the whole of
its trained reserves, thus putting some
sixteen millions of men under arms. In
the interests of humanity it is better
that the nations which go down in alb
solute defeat. should realize that the
verdict is one against which there is no
appeal. If the only possible cure for
this monstrous cancer of militarism is
the knife, it is better to cut so deeply
as to let out all the rottenness, and so
thoroughly remove the very seeds of
the disease as to ensure the wholesome,
unhindered growth of the splendid CIV
ilization of this twentieth century. =

S12. 900 i'm Premiums.

The sixty-ffth annual Walworth
county fair to be held in Elknorn on
September 22-25 inclusive will be the
greatest fair in every particular that
Walworth county has ever conducted.
Premiums and purses amounting to
$4,000 will be given away at the fair,
an amount rarely disposed of by any
county association. The management
of the fair is working hard to make
the event reflect credit on the county
and at the same time to insure lib
eral patronage and a sufficient financial
return.
There will be at least three bands to
furnish the music at the fair this year.
The Elkhorn and Mukwanago bands
have already been secured and at least
one other band and probably two or
three more will be engaged before the
fair starts.
The midway attractions will be bet
ter this year than ever before Two
thirds of the space allowed for conces-
sions has already been sold and this
sale of space this far in advance of the
opening is larger than ever before and
assures many interesting concessions
at this years fair.

Scrap the Primary.

The more experience we have with
the present primary law the clearer do
we see that it was the work of sell
fish, scheming politician in the person
of Robert M. LaFollette and that it
was designed to muddle and confuse
the voter and prevent any intelligent
coherency of party action. Ever since
the primary became the rule of our
political action we have been without
form and void of good government in
Wisconsin. Dozens of states have been
misled by the so-called Wisconsin idea,
and, as sure as fate, unless warned in
time, they will fall into the same griev-
Gus mistakes that our people have
made.
1t is a plausible specious theory, dan
gerous to the well being of the COM
monwealth because it ignores the safe
ty and conservatism of truly repre-
sentative method of doing things. In
a word, it is democracy running away
with itself; throwing itself into disor-
der and confusion. 1t destroys cOher-
ent party action because it destroys
the representative voice of the people.
Under it's dominion there is no chance
for the voter to manifest his opinion
upon any question at issue. 1t is not
real American democracy which works
out it's problems through the wisdom of
selected leaders. On the contrary, it
becomes nothing but form of con-
fused invidualism. every man for
himself and the devil take the hind
most. Fort Atkinson Union.

TRULY the plight of the honest Wis
consin Progressives is pitiable. Having
wandered off after the false gods of
regulation and commissions, they are
now left wandering in the wilderness,
with no prospect of ever seeing the
promised land. Behind them the flesh
pots of Egypt have been seized upon
by the Tory Philistines. Not an office
is left for the faithful followers of the
pompadour orifamme. If their former
professions were anything but pious
affectation, if they really hated reac-
ton and feared the aggression of big
capital as they always claimed, then
there is only one party that will give
them an opportunity to express their
sentiments. Modesty prevents a So
cial-Democrat from naming that party,
but little examination of the candi-
dates and principles of the parties ask
ing for votes will suggest which party
offers any hope at this time. -Milwau-
kee Leader.
