Something Tells Us That
Chicago Elected a Pretty
Good Man for a Mayor

During his campaign for office, Mayor
Thompson, with several of his political
supporters, indorsed a note for $4,000,
to meet campaign expenses.
From here this looks to have been
perfectly legitimate and all right.
When the note became due, the holder
asked Mayor Thompson to take it up
with his personal note, which Mayor
Thompson did and which, also, looks
from here TO have been legitimate and
all right.
The mayor says he has paid the inter
est on the note and that he will pay the
principal, which will, of course, be all
right.
II would seem to be matter that is
purely personal, but Mayor Thompson
has had to tell about it TO the public to
meet the charge his enemies have made,
that persons on the municipal pay roll
had to dig down and meet his campaign
expenses.

Mayor Thompson, you know, is max
ing Chicago SOME mayor.
The manner in which he is conducting
his office indicates that he feels re-
sponsibility TO the people of Chicago
who elected him.
The saloons are NOT running HIS
administration.
Consequently he is NOT popular with
the saloonkeepers, nor with the brewers
or distillers or any of the other allies in
the liquor business.
They are trying to get something ON
Mayor Thompson.
This was to have been expected.
The only thing strange about 1t is
that they have waited this long to start
something.

We haven't had an opportunity TO get
as well acquainted with Mayor Thomp-
son as we would like to be.
We read little something about him
during his campaign and passed sum-
mary judgment that he must be pref
ty good man because of the crowd in
Chicago that was trying to defeat him.
We have also heard a lot Of nice
things about him, and have found him
to have his sympathies in the right
place whenever public acts or public
speeches of his have come to our notice.
But now that they are resorting to
the old, old political trick Of trying to
make what appears to have been legiti-
mate business transaction look crooked
simply because it happened to figure in
candidates campaign, we are more than
ever convinced that Mayor Thompson is
all right, and will come out on top,
stronger with the people than ever.

SAFEGUARDS OILS SALE.
State Inspector of Illuminating Oils
Demands Observance of the
state law

State Inspector of Illuminating Oils
Demands Observance of the
state Law.
In an effort to throw further safe
guards about the sale Of oils in Wis
consin, Inspector Moran has sent the
following letter to all dealers:
II take this means of calling to
your attention certain provisions of the
Wisconsin oil and gasoline inspection
law, which hardware dealers, az well
as all other dealers in kerosene, gaso-
line and similar petroleum products,
must comply with.
"Section 1421e of the law requires
all retail dealers in kerosene, gasoline,
benzine, naphtha and other like prod
ucts of petroleum to post in eonspic-
uous place a placard which plainly
states the actual gravity, flash and
burn Of the kerosene and the gravity
test of the gasoline on sale.
"Section 1421o requires that gasoline,
benzine, naphtha or other like products
of petroleum be kept or delivered to
the purchasers only in containers
painted vermilion red, which have the
word gasoline benzine,' or 'naph-
tha' painted or stenci1ed thereon. Ker-
osene must not be kept or delivered IN
containers so painted and stenciled.
Where such products are sold in guam
titles of one quart or less it is sufficient
to have label attached to the con-
tainer with the words gasoline, IN
safe when exposed to heat or fire,
printed in bright red ink, in letters not
less than one-fourth inch in size. All
polishes, cleaning preparations, and like
products containing gasoline, benzine
or naphtha must be similarly labeled
"The law provides a penalty for
violations of the above provisions of
a fine or Imprisonment, or both, and re-
sponsibility in damages to the party
injured, in the event Of injury arising
or growing out of such violation"

in the path Of the train, holding a
lighted match as signal. The train
failed to stop and schildt was struck
and hurled into ditch along the road.
He was terribly injured. Later he was
brought in an ambulance to Kenosha
and taken to the Kenosha hospital
where he was confined for many
weeks. He left the hospital only a
short time ago.
1T is claimed that the suit for dam

is claimed that this signal of the
lighted match is customary to be used
along the lines of electric railway com
ranies with view of stopping trains
for passengers and that for this rea-
son Schildt can not be charged with
contributory negligence in the case.
Attorneys Fisher and Fisher, repre-
Senting the company here, filed an ans

the pertinent facts alleged and holding
that the company was not responsible
for the injuries of Schildt. The car in
question was not scheduled by the COM

Calvin Stewart on behalf of Louis
Schildt, a Kenosha man, who met ter
rible injuries when he was struck by

the party returned to the city on one

1t is alleged in the complaint tina
the company made no provision for the
safety of passengers at the crossinl
and that no provision was made t

For the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, for promoting com
merce, and for commercial attaches, the
Department of Commerce asks for APP
preparations aggregating $735,360 in
1916 as compared with $369,280 in 1915
an increase Of 100 per cent. AS q
basis for this demand upon a depleted
treasury, the Department AYERS that it
has aided American shippers in secur-
ing foreign orders. Let us see. Leav
ing out of consideration those countries
which are at war, and whose demands
for our products are entirely independ-
emit of any selling efforts, we find from
Department of Commerce Reports that
for IL months ending with September,
1915, our exports to nations at peace
amounted to 1867, $4,000 as compared
with a total of 1886, $4,000 in the cor
responding period in 1913, while the
Bureau was still working under the sys-
tenn established by Republicans. This
shows decrease of $117, 100000. In the
face of this enormous loss of export
trade with nations at peace, how can
the Department of Commerce claim to
have rendered any material assistance
in finding markets for our goods? What
sort Of reception would an American
travelling salesman find in the head
office of his employer if he came in
with request for an increase in salary
on the plea that he had increased the
company business, when the books of
the company showed a decrease rather
than an increaseg The company might
increase the salary Of the position but
it would find a new man to fill it.
