Over 100. 900 Circulation

Milwaukee Journal: During the
past few days The Journal has taken
position among the comparatively
very small number of American news
papers whose circulation is 100000 or
more. 1t has been climbing steadily
and rapidly toward this notch for sever.
al years and during the past few months
success has been only question of
time, short time. Now it has safely
reached the mark.
Surely nobody will take amiss if, as a
result of this achievement, The Journal
feels bit proud as well as happy. For
a Milwaukee newspaper to grow to
these proportions is really remarkable.
The number of newspapers in the Unit
ed States that enjoy a circulation of
more than 100000 is quite small In
cities much larger than Milwaukee, in
New York, in Philadelphia, in Boston,
and IN Chicago, there are newspapers
OF wide reputation whose circulation is
below 100000 1t is estimated that on
an average four persons read every copy
OF a newspaper that is circulated and
on this basis 100000 men, women and
children read The Journal every day.
This is further proof of it's prestige and
popularity.

Let The Mann Act Alone.

The Chicago Herald: The Church
Federation of Chicago. in some resolu-
tions condemnatory of the persistent
efforts of certain newspapers to weaken
the Mann act, makes remark that
seems to go to the root of the thought
OF those who continually raise the cry
OF 'blackmail. Here it is:
1--WE have observed that men of
blameless conduct have not been COM
planning that they have been black
mailed under the Mann act
Since the recent supreme court deci-
sion the Mann act has become as dan
gerous to the female blackmailer as to
the male seducer. To put it bluntly,
the law has been made so completely
reasonable in it's Interpretation and ap-
pi1catlon that further complaints about
1T from any quarter tend to create the
suspicion that somewhat of personal
feeling or fear is in the background.
The general public, is quite we'll in
formed on the subject and quite capa-
BILE of drawing the differences that
naturally suggest themselves. Hence
the coul Sc of wisdom, for publicists as
we'll as for politicians, is to let the
Mann act alone as it is now interpreted
and settled by the nations highest
tribunal

until finally a boy made friends with
the dog and coaxed it to his home. to
which he also took the basket.
Persons living in the neighborhood
first observed the dog ut it's vigil the
previous afternoon 1t refused to let
anybody touch the basket and could
not be lured away by tempting offers
of food.
Mrs. j. j. Wilkins carried food and
water to the dog and gave it a sack
to lie upon. King Amber, fourteen
year-old son Of Arthur Amber. made
overtures to the terrier for a long time
before he won it's confidence sufficient
ly for it to permit him to take the bas-
ket.
Who owns the dog and the basket
could not be ascertained. and young
Amber said he hoped the owner would
not turn up.

PRESS POINTS

Marinette Eagle Star: The returns
from various cities and towns in both
Wisconsin and Michigan carry warn
ing to the liquor interests. Saloons
must submit gracefully to strict regula-
ton here and everywhere else. Nothing
short of that will be tolerated.
Brodhead Independent Register: The
secret Of the administrations fight
against the State University is out, and
advocates of the bills aimed against the
institution have practically admitted
that they hope by the aid of these bills
to curb the democratic spirit of the in

wisconsin has great waterpower re-
sources. 1t ranks sixth in the union in
this respect. Our legislature is under
insistent pressure by the waterpower
interests. We believe it would be little
less than reasonable for the legislature
to shut its eyes to past experiences and
fail to fully and completely safeguard
the public rights in handling this mat
ter. Capital should be protected and
should receive just returns, but the
state should not fail to retain such
control of its waterpower as will insure
to our people ample protection in the
years to come.

CERTIFIED BABIES

10 Worthy Foster Parents.

ChicagO.-The city of Chicago is Civ
ing away officially certified babies
4 brown eyed, gray eyed and blue eyed
little beauties, quite chubby and per
fectly healthy-and they are intrusted
to the care OF highly recommended and
thoroughly worthy foster parents only
This is a new idea, in which Chicago
leads the way. Medical officials OF
other large cities are watching it's de
velopment with close interest and with
a view to its adoption.
Chicago, like every other municipali-
ty, finds on it's hands dependent little
ones who have no parents to care for
| them, no friends to vouch for their
| good behavior. Chicago takes them
all under it's broad wing-Chicago leads
among the baby loving cities-exam-
ines them physically and mentally and
then offers officially certified infants
for adoption.

household is ready and anxious to well

DR.. William J. Hickson of the
psychopathic laboratory of the munic-
ipal court of Chicago is the originator
of the plan. DR.. Hickson is a baby
specialist. also an ardent student Of
the problem of mental deficiency. Here
are his fixed standards for a certified
baby:
Eat birth the certified baby must
weigh at least six pounds and measure
twenty inches.
Eat one year of age he must weigh
twenty-one pounds and measure TWEEN
ty-seven inches. increasing three inches
during the second year, and from his
third to tenth year two inches annual

close at about the nineteenth month.

ALEssoN FROM CORNWALL.

In an article assailing the University
of Wisconsin the editor of The Jeffer-
son County Union has the audacity,
not to say efrontery, to quote passage
leveled by John Galsworthy against
landlordism in Great Britain. If John
Galsworthy (golzwurthi), Cornishman
of letters. great democrat and humani
tartan that he is, were here in Wis
consin he would be lined up with the
schoolmen who are standing for the
truth, against the land barons, the
waterpower barons, the liquor barons,
and all the other barons of special
privilege.
If Editor Hoard wants to go all the
way over to Cornwall for a story to
point moral in the present irrepressi-
BILE political conflict in Wisconsin, why
not go back to the time when, to
stide political freedom, the good Bishop
London? Then, sturdy Cornishmen,
Trelawney was shut up in the tower of
under ground and over ground, de-
manded to be shown a reason why.
Now, if, in order to stife academic
freedom, our public school system is to
be made the football of selfish politi-
clans, the sturdy, self reliant people of
Wisconsin will demand a reason why.

Editor Hoard kindly sent US copy
of The Jefferson County Union for last
week; and we sent him in return a
copy of The Iowa County Democrat for
the same issue. There is one point of
strong resemblance between the two
papers: their editorial pages are de-
voted almost exclusively to the propo-
sition to redraft the school laws. But
while the Democrat stands for Wiscon-
sins great democratic free school, The
Union is against it

THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL.

The regular daily circulation of The
milwaukee, Journal now exceeds 100 900
copies. There is hope for the people in
the wide circulation of such news
papers. The Journal is ever industri-
ously digging to let the dark out of the
political cellar. It makes darkness
light before forward looking men seek
ing more democracy.
Have you noticed the unusual siren
uous efforts which are being put forth
of late to increase the circulation of
periodicals of political faith opposite to
that of The Journal? For instance,
Frank Leslie's, which stands for prop
erty rights or vested privileges against
human rights and progress. Recently
this town was canvassed by a young
woman who descended to brassy meth
DDS to increase the circulation of Les
lies and Hearst's magazines. And this
week again canvasser appeared offer
