SIR ROBERT BORDEN

The announcement that an i'm.
perial conference is likely to be held
in London next summer, and that the
project has been the subject Of cor
respondence between the British and
Canadian governments is regarded BY
Canadians generally as giving consld.
cradle significance to the persistent
references, in Sir Robert Bordens re-
cent speeches, to Canada's unsatis.
factory status In the British empire
in respect Of foreign affairs.
In the very first speech which the
prime minister delivered after the
outbreak Of the war he made It clear
that In his opinion the war and the
various issues which it raised en-
phasized the undesirability OF the
overseas dominions being without the
slightest voice or influence in the
management Of the foreign affairs OF
the empire. This point he has re-
iterated, emphasized and elaborated
on In series of addresses.

Although much mystery seems to
surround the personality of Eye Wit
ness" the official English chronicler
OF the deeds of the British army in
France and Belgium. there is really
no doubt as to his identity. Various
accounts have been printed in the
press here claiming the honors for
any number of amateur and profes-
sional writer's from Lord Percy to a
world-famous newspaper man and
author.
AS a matter OF fact, Eye Wit
ness is Col Ernest Dunlop Swinton,
d. s. o. Of the Royal Engineers, as
sistant secretary and librarian Of the
imperial committee OF defense. His
immediate family has contributed
several members to the army, two
brothers serving in India.
Swinton made a name for himself
In South Africa. and gathered the
material for several intensely inter-
esting novels. Under the pseudonym

After Gambling Devices.

William G. Cody has caused notice
to be sent to Mayor Kading calling at
tention to violations of the law in sa-
looms, cigar stands and various other
places, by the running of gambling de-
vices, punch boards, dice boxes, card
games and the selling of cigarettes.
He makes demand that the law in such
cases be enforced, all of which must be
rather embarrassing to the mayor, who
is not an extremist. but who, neverthe
less, had given the most needed reforms
without styling himself modern light
with special dispehsation to lead the
children of Israel out of bondage. There
are such cases where reforms move too
RAPIDLY and one of the best illustrations
is our state administration Of recent
years. A little leven leveneth the whole
lump. Be consistent lest the spite work
90 too far. It is stated that the demand
is being complied with and that there
has been an order for the cessation of
the above named games of chance.

SAFETY FIRST"
MEETING Held
Under Auspices of WdtertoWn Gas
& Electric CO.-Gdtherinq
Proves a Success.

The Humanitarian Safety Meeting
held Tuesday evening in. the assembly
room of the Masonic Temple under the
auspices of the Watertown Gas and Ell
ectric company was well attended and a
pleasant evening spent by those present.
Arnold G. Reuteler manager fer the
company delivered an address of wei
come, and surprised his friends by his
diction, ease of expression and bearing,
it being. we believe, his first appearance
as public speaker.
DIR. C. H. Lemon of Milwaukee follow
ed with an interesting address in which
he praised our industrial commission
and heartily endorsed every effort being
made by to conserve the safety of labor
and the public generally.
Remarks germane to the subject under
consideration were made by Mayor c, A.
Kading and DR.. F. G. Werner
Bramer's orchestra furnished the
music, light refreshments were served
and then the Young folks "tripped the
light fantastic toe" and enjoyed them
selves. The evening was thoroughly en-
joyed by all. and all had words of praise
for the company in furnishing so de-
lightful an entertainment.

TALKED THE MATTER OVER

Last Tuesday forenoon, quite a
number of our leading business men
who are connected with the manufac-
turing industries in this city, met at
the city hall to talk over the matter
now being agitated in this city, viz:
The closing Of the saloons Sundays.
Mayor Kading was invited to attend
the conference and upon his arrival
the question of closing the saloons
was discussed pro and con both by the
mayor and the gentlemen present. 1t
appeared from the discussion, that it
was the opinion of all those present
interested in calling the meeting, that
the saloons should be closed and they
so expressed themselves. Citizens
have perfect right to meet and dis
cuss matters of interest to the city
financially and morally especially if
they are heavy taxpayers and their
interests are jeopardized by any con
ditions that may exist in the city.
Those who gave expressions to their
views were moderate in tone and only
desired that the state law should be
enforced to show that the community
was in favor of law. Some complain
ed that many of their employees came
to work Monday mornings, after a
Sunday night debauch unfit for work
which would not be the case should
the saloons be closed Sunday nights
thus making it a financial as we'll as
moral question.

FORCER GETS A
3 YR SENTENCE
Handed Out by Judge Grim to
Party Who Defrduded the
Bank of WdtertOWn.

r. M. Sh0gry, alias Z. ~ Esper, who
was placed under arrest here on the 18th
of last month, at which time he made
an attempt to defraud the Bank of
Watertown, on Saturday was sentenced
by Judge Grimm to term of three
years in the state penitentiary. Fol
lowing his arrest here, Shogry was TAX
EN- to Milwaukee, where he served
term in the workhouse for beating
board bill at the Republican House. The
fellow was wanted in the east, but as
the authorities failed to come for him,
warrant was sworn out for him and
he was brought back to Watertown. He
waived preliminary examination before
Justice af the Peace Rohr and went be-
fore Judge Grimm to take his sentence.
1t will be remembered that Shogry
opened an account at the above named
bank and Immediately distinguished
himself as check artist, distributing a
number of checks with no funds to his
credit. ShOgry then attempted to draw
upon the account from Milwaukee be-
fore the checks had been returned from
the Pennsylvania banks. 1t seems
that he operated in similar manner in
similar dodge in a number of cities in
the middle west without being brought
to justice.
Through the activity of the officials of
the local bank, who communicated with
the eastern bankers by telegraph, the
forger was run down. 1t also appears
that Shogry has prison record and was
wanted for several offensed committed
in the east.

Fined The Second Time.

Thursday morning, Fred Cruez of this
city appeared before Justice Stoppen-
bach, Jefferson, to answer to the charges
of having kept his saloon open Sunday
and sold liquor contrary to the state law,
entered a plea of nOlle cOntendere which
means guilty but not admitted. and was
fined SO and costs, the costs amounting
to $53. 1t can be said in behalf of Mr..
Cruez, who is president of the local
Liquor Dealers Association, that he con-
ducts one of the best saloons in the city
quiet, orderly and in a gentlemanly
manner. This was the second time Mr..
Cruez paid for selling liquor on Sunday
and his friends regret, that he has been
up against it,

Among the men of the circle Louis

zens were the targets for clever Jokes
which invariably hit the mark.

NEW PosTOFFICE RULING

A new postoffice ruling has just
been made which will greatly assist
local merchants in the circulating of
rural routes.
The scheme is that any local
business man desiring to reach the
rural residents by mail, may ascer
tain the number of boxes on each
route, and mail a corresponding num-
Der of letters; these letters will be
numbered, and as the box bearing this
number is reached will be deposited
by the rural carrier without any other
address AS this method is used by
the carriers in their distribution, it
will also assist them, besides doing
away with large amount of clerical
work in the Offices. This applies only
to local merchants.
