GASOLINE.
Possibility of Loss i'm the Use of This
Dangerous Fluid and SOlYite.

Put two gallons of gasoline and
two ounces of solvite in wash boiler
or large dishpan and do your dry
cleaning at home is the vicious advice
of manufacturers of solvite, a gasoline
soap, according to their advertise
ments in some newspapers
M. j. Cleary, state fire marshal,
properly calls this IAN appeal to the
people to end their own lives"
For the sake of few paltry dollars
realized from the sale of solvite these
manufacturers ask us to introduce in
to every home an invisible, silent. GER
tain and most powerful force of death
and destruction, gasoline vapor
lighted match, an open light, the
flame of gas stove or of an ordinary
stove, gas jet or the slightest spark
from any source will explode this
friction resulting from rubbing fab
RIGS, especially silk or wool, will ex-
plode often this vapor
Over against the dollars gained by
the solvite people and ten or fifteen
cents saved by you in cleaning a uair
OF gloves or your husbands necktie,
we ask you to place the safety of your
children and your home; then you will
shun gasoline, benzne and naphtha
Remember also that the promiscu-
Gus storage and use of gasoline inval-,
idates the insurance policy on your
home and household goods.

MASONIC-K. C. MEETING.
Rather an Unusual Gathering of Two
Lodges in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec 4-What is believed
to be one of the most unique gather
ings in this country for many years
past was meeting held in this city
recently, when in an effort to mend
the misunderstanding of years mem
bers of the Masonic and Knights of
Columbus lodges heard Bourke Cock
ran in a discussion of can Appeal for
Peace"
There has been a mild and not un-
kindly sensation created by the invi-
tations that had been received by Off
GERS of the various Masonic bodies
in Chicago The invitations explain
that the peace topic will deal not
alone with international affairs, but
also conditions in our own country
covering questions of peace and toler-
alton in our social and industrial re-
lations in this country"
Judge Samuel Alschuler of the
United States Circuit court, Jew
and Mason, presided over the meet
ing. 1t is generally believed from a
canvass of the situation that this
most unusual movement will receive
sturdy support.
Elmer Roberts, editor of the Mason
ic Chronicle, said, many many Masons
had received invitations.
1.-The fact that Judge Alschuler pre-
sided seems to indicate that dispo-
sition exists to wipe out medieval dis
tmctions created before the time of
commercial and social equality said
get together Mr.. Rogers said.
George F. Mulligan, who was in
charge of arrangements, declared that
the offers of cooperation have been
plentiful.
'.The lecture by Mr.. Cochran was
plea for better understanding, not
only socially, but for religious tolera-
ton The world has advanced too far
to permit of tightly drawn lines. We
mailed invitations to all non-Catholic
organizations, and had many letters
of commendation from Masonic bodies,
from the Knights Templar, and from
Protestant ministers"
Ralph S. Wheeler, grand master of
the Masonic order of Illinois, said:
There is nothing in Masonry that an
tagonizes Catholicism. There is no
reason why there should not be full
understanding and toleration."

One of the most important get-to-
gether meetings in Watertown in re-
cent years was the affair last evening,
largely a social matter, but at the
same time educational, when the Twi-
light club entertained guests to the
number of about fifty, besides them
selves being present, at a meeting and
and banquet in the Commercial hotel,
the guest of honor being Hon Emanu-
ell L. Philipp, governor of Wisconsin.
Plans to get the governor to speak
before the Twilight club were adj
vanced some two months ago, and
President Woodland felt that the club
had achieved no little success when
he received the governors assurance
that he would appear before the club.
The meeting last evening was in no
wise partisan gathering, although
the governors political preferment is
known to all
1t might not be amiss to remark at
this juncture that the Twilight club
has been in correspondence with a
number of prominent men, and more
good speakers will be heard in Water
town during the coming winter
The governor arrived last evening
at $50 from Milwaukee, where he had
passed Sunday with his family, and
was met at the station by the recep-
tion committee, the officers of the Twi-
light club, who were PreSiden w H
Woodard, Vice President Max Rohr,
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1915-12-07

he spoke on the subject of 'The Need
of Business Men in Governmental Af-
fairs" always a, live subject with Mr..
Philip, who has used this subject in
one form or another in nearly all the
speeches he has delivered throughout
the state since he assumed the execu-
tive office.
In his address the governor dwelt
on the fact that public office in years
agone had been the natural reward of
the politician" regardless of his fit
ness to fill the position from the stand
point of business ability, and this same
politician was always under obliga-
ton to reward his satellites, who were
of necessity less fitted for public duty
than their chief, and the result was
that public office was too often deemed
political headquarters, with resultant
loose management which has cost the
taxpayers of every community hund-
dreds of dollars, and in the state at
large the sum total is in the millions
He pointed out that not business
enterprise in the commercial world
could possibly survive the loose meth
DDS and inexperienced management of
the average public office, and if the
voters would heed this when filling
public office, and install men known
for their business acumen and integ-
rity in the community. there could be
but one answer-lower taxes and more
efficient public officers
The governors speech abounded in
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1915-12-07


good thoughts for those present to
ponder, and among other things he
said:
There are several reasons why l am
here. Am glad to be here as COVER
nor and citizen, and have no special
favors to ask.
l was especially pleased at the vote
| received in Watertown-this demo-
cratic stronghold
1 know that you are interested in
state affairs.
The governor at this point dropped
into the German language for a few
moments, much to the pleasure of his
auditors.
He congratulated the Twilight club
saying that as a booster organization
it brings men together for free dis
cussion of interesting matters to all.
The people are glad to see the gov
ernor and the governor is glad to see
the people.
The government is the peoples in
stitution, and people must take an in
terest.
The world was built by boosters, |
mean inventors, manufacturers and
farmers.
The booster is the man, who takes
care of his own business and works
The knocker is he who attends to
others business and does not work.

selling his products to the commits
