English of the Diamond.

IN the National league is an UNI
piro who is a stickler for correct de-
pertinent on the diamond. In a game
in which he OBLIGATED at the polo
grounds early in the season, as Chief
Meyers, the Indian catcher for New
York, came to bat, certain of the Bos-
ton players sitting on their bench be-
gan to guy the brawny red man.
In an instant the umpire had left
his place behind the catcher and was
running toward the visitors bomb
proof.
Cut out them personalities" he
ordered. "Cut out them personali-
ties!"
AS he turned away a high-pitched
voice filtered out through the grand
stand behind him saying:
Cut out them grammar! "-Satur-

SHIP PURCHASE BILL TALK
Measure to Be Revived in Senate
When Unlimited Debate Rule is
Overturned, Belief.

Washington, Nov. 2. = Whether
Thomas r. Marshall of Indiana will be
Woodrow Wilson's running mate in
1916, should the latter run again, may
depend greatly on what happens in the
Senate at it's opening session this win
ter.
The Vice President is understood to
have offended by his attitude on the
fight which was made last winter dur
ing the filibuster which defeated the
ship purchase bill.
Since then there have been tentative
suggestions that nothing had been
done relative to the Presidents run
ming mate.
Now comes the information that at
the tap of the bell the Democratic
Senate majority will move to alter the
rules applying closure, thus overturn-
ing the time honored custom of I'M
limited debate in the Upper House.
It is assumed also that this means a
revival of the administration ship
purchase bill, which was talked to
death in the last session.

Both Sides Are Confident.

NORTHERN ROADS
LEAD IN CONDITION
Chief Engineer A. R. Hirst Gives
Opinion After Tour.
HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH POOR
Says the Sixty-Five-MiIe Stretch In
Ashland County Is Excellent for
Automobile Traffic-Other
Long Roads.

Madison.-Roads are much better In
northern Wisconsin than in the south
ern sections of tins state, according to
Chief Engineer A. R. Hirst, who has
fust returned from a two weeks in
spectiOn tour in the upper region. In
Ashland county, he said is a single
stretch of So miles of road over every
foot Of which automobiles may be safe
1y driven at high speed. Other long
stretches, he said, are found in various
northern counties, eight, ten and even
twenty miles of finished roads without
a break.
This condition, Mr.. Hirst said, is due
to the fact that many Of the northern
counties have adopted the county sys-
tenn In place of the town system. These
counties are Douglas, Bayfield,, Sawyer
Ashland, Iron, Oneida, Villas, Florence,
Wood and Chippewa. Several others
are to adopt the system next year.
In the southern section the only
counties to adopt the county plan are
Milwaukee, Richland and Fond du Lac.
All the other southern counties retain
The barbaric town system, which spells
patchwork little stretch of good
road here, little there, with mudholes
in between. In view Of the old high
way adage that mo road is better than
it's poorest spot" the folly Of this sys-
tenn is apparent.
Mr.. Hirst was in the western sec
tion of the state week before last and
said he found the state aid work in
that region in satisfactory condition,
much more SO than he expected, Par
Licularly in the counties of Jackson,
Clark, Chippewa and ST. CroiX. Last
week he spent most of the time in the
counties Of Price, Ashland, Oneida and
Villas. This week he will inspect the
work in Columbia, Waushara, Mar
quette, Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Mar
athon and Juneau counties.
Speaking Of the 65-mile stretch Of fin
ished road in Ashland county, Mr..
Hirst explained that it is maintained
under the patrol system. The road is
divided into sections. One man, who
is conveniently located, is charged
with the duty of looking after the
maintenance Of each section and is
we'll paid for the service.
All together, Mr. Hirst said, there
are Is miles Of state aid highway in
Ashland county, and the people there
ere proud of the fact

See Benefit in Court Decision.

]. D. Beck, member of the IN
dustrial commission, issued a state
ment commencing the decision of the
supreme court which held that typhoid
fever contracted through drinking wa
ter furnished by an employer was an
accident within the meaning Of the
workmen's compensation act He
said:
In so far as the decision itself is
concerned, it is in exact line, as l see
It, with those already made by the in
dustrial commission.
Il do not believe it will add one
cents additional expense to the en-
ployer of the state. l do think, how
ever, that one benefit is to be derived
from the decision. The supreme court
has passed upon the question in way
that will be of great assistance to the
commission in working out with EN-.
ployers better sanitary conditions in
factories.
THE dissenting opinion speaks of
the additional burdens placed upon
our employers as a result of the com.
pensation act. 1t was not the inten
ton Of the legislature to place any ad
ditional burdens upon our industries iE
the enactment Of the compensation
law. 1t simply intended to provide a
means whereby employers might pay
the money they were expending fox
protection against liability for acct.
dents directly to the injured workman
or his family, and as FOR the individual
employer this act did not increase his
burden in the least, bit rather tended
to tighten it."

$500. GOO Tax Not Collected.

There is hardly a business in the
world that is so affluent that it would
let 100000 year slip away. And yet,
according TO Commissioner N. P.
Haugen of the tax commission this is
what Wisconsin is doing every year.
"The state is losing this money, or
its equivalent, through non-collection
of the poll tax" he said. Last year
we did collect about $8S,O0O How
ever, there are over 100000 persons in
the state who are liable to the tax,
which is two dollars Had this been
collected the state would be so much
ahead. 1t would have come either in
the form Of labor or in cash, the farm
ers having the alternative of working
out their tax on the county roads"
