PARALLEL CASES
LOCAL TRAGEDY COMPARED
WITH OTHER GREAT
TRAGEDIES.

To the Editor: In the matter of
the Eastland disaster the coroner's
jury has fixed the blame not only on
the captain and chief engineer, but
also on the officers of the company
owning the boat and those who had
it chartered for carrying passengers.
Capt. Peterson says, They cannot
make a scapegoat of me-" This is
getting back to the cause and fixing
the blame where it belongs for the
loss of human lives. We have in our
own county a parallel case. with the
exception that sc far the disaster is
not SO far reaching. AS a result of
the cutting done a week ago at Nunda
one man is dead and his assailant
will be a charge on the state for some
years by way of punishment for a
crime committed while drunk. Now,
fix the blame where it belongs. Every
man that voted for a saloon at Nunda
should feel that he is personally re-
sponsible for that crime. Charles
Becker did not murder Rosenthal,
but he has been executed by the state
of New York as responsible for the
crime. Criminal voters should feel
their responsibility in the present
cas- in this county.

MADISON'S POSTOFFICE BUILD
ING STILL In THE FUTURE.

During Senator S%terling's visit to
Madison when he delivered a lecture
at the chautauqua assembly the mat
ter of Madison's new p~ostof1ce build

result that he addressed the proper
authorities of the treasury depart
ment in Washington in regard to it.

Act of June 25, 1910, site was ac-
CURED and appropriation of $4,000
for payment therefor made by con-
gress December &c, 1911. Act of
March 4, 1918, appropriation of $780,
600 for construction of building was
made by congress.
THE department has adopted a
regular program in connection with
the construction of public buildings.
Each project is taken up in accord
ance with chronological order, which
is determined by taking date of ac-
QUESTION of site. Madison is No. 1O4
on a program of work started about
the first of this fiscal year. As the
office of the supervising architect
can complete the plans of from 70 to
so buildings a year, it is hardly pos
sible to give you any definite infor-
nation as to the time when building
operations at the site will commence.

present rate of progress this project

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASsO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, July 31.-Special:
There are signs that momentous
events are occurring around Warsaw.
If the evacuation of the Polish capital
has not already begun, il is believed
i'm many quarters that the withdrawal
of the Russians is not far off.
At various points in Poland the
Russians continue to check the Aus
tro-Germans in their efforts to en-
circle Warsaw, but the consensus of
views of the military critics of the
Petrograd newspapers seems to point
to the fear that the Russians will rot
long be able to keep back the ire
mendous pressure of the Teutonic
allies.
Except for the capture of a new
German position in the Vosges there
has been relative calm on the western
front from the sea TO Alsace.
In the Italian war theater the Aus
TRANS and Italians are still battling
for supremacy, with both sides claim
ing slight victories.
