BERGER TO CONGRESS-.

The people of one Wisconsin congressional district have re-elec ted Victor Berger to congress With more than 500,000 men tc choose from the Wisconsin voters elected a German who did every thing he could to help Germany de feat the United States.
 Berger already has been un- seated. He was thrown out of congress by an overwhelming vote but one man voting that he re- main. In the face of this opposi- tion he went back to Wisconsin and was reelected. No one but Ger- man could have done it.
 The governor of Wisconsin de clares that if Berger again is un- seated, he will not call another election. He says that it is an imposition. The seat will have to remain vacant, he says. That 1s good. A vacant seat would bet ter represent Wisconsin than the foreign-born socialist that the the residents of Berger's district have elected. 3

HURTING THE IRISH.

The attempt made on the life of Viscount French will not help the Irish cause. If English opinion has not already become set on the fact that De Valera and his Gre public" must be squelched, the at tempted assassination will make that opinion overwhelmingly strong. Who it was that tried u kill French, at this writing is not known. But the Irish leaders will be blamed for it in the minds of many who are prejudiced again st them. The Sim Feiners might serve their cause we'll by making an effort to bring the would-b assassins to justice.

Dempsey Must,
 Reduce Demands

Milwaukee, Dec. 20.-That Jack Kearns, manager Of Jack Demp- scy, will have to reduce his de mands for 50 per cent of the re- ceipts for a bout with Georges Carpenter in Paris next July, was the statement made today by B. F. Steinel, Milwaukee representative of Theodore Vienne and his asso- ciates.
 Steinel said that it is entire ly cut of the question for pro moter in France to pay any such percentage and he figures that a 100000 gate would have to be taken in before there would be any profit. There are several taxes to pay by a French promo ter. First, there is the war ta>: on amusements, which amounts to 10 per cent. Then comes the 10 per cent poor tax, which goes to a fund for indjgents, and third ly is the custom in France to give 10 per cent of the entire receipts to the newspapers in lieu of ad- vertising. Of course, in a big contest. like the Carpentier-Demp- sey mill, the newspaper percentage would undoubtedly be cut down te five per cent, he said.
 "Thus the promoter would have 75 per cent to work with. Out of this Dempsey would demand two-thirds of the money, leaving 25 per cent to pay Carpenter and all the promotion expenses" saie MT. Steinel.

State Hail Insurance

The State Hail Insurance Depart

damage by hail will be recognized

state hail fund IT said crop has been

The department has been liberal
lfns td3ustins and silpx pxtns lcsssas,
based d,upon the actual damage CATS
Cd BY hail, and not upon the r~n..
lditionsof the crop, which is the GUS
tom Of old line companies.
The principle Of the State Hail
Insurance department has been,
that when the insured has fulfilled
his part Of the contract, does l,isS
work right and nays his premium,
he is entitled to indemnity for the
actual damage the hail would have
wrought to full crop, even though
the yield may have been reduced to
q stage below the cost Of harvesting
II such reduction is caused BY some
act of-providence.
This construction applies only to
conditions prior, or up to the. time
Of maturity, however, and the de.
partment hopes that no one will he
go unscrupulous as to report and
demand damages by reason Of hail.

will be closely watched, and prom

tempt would be an unjust squander.

Subsection 5a of Section 2394-52
gives the Industrial Commission pow
er, jurisdiction and authority to make
reasonable orders relating to combus-
tible or explosive materials or infam-
mable conditions dangerous to the
safety of any building, or the occu-
pants thereof, or endangering or him
dering iremen in the case of fire.
In compliance with this duty and for
the purpose of protecting life, limb
and property this commission, after
full investigation of the subject of
fireworks, and after due hearing, a.
1opted the following order to take eff
feet September 1st, 1918.
"Order 6O95. Fireworks. No fire
crackers, rockets, torpedoes, Roman
candles, bombs or other fireworks, and
no pistols, cannons, explosive canes,
blank cortridges, or other similar ap-
pliances or displays, shall be stored
in a place nearer than 200 feet from
a neighboring building, except whole
sale storage in original packages. Such
fireworks, appliances, or displays ex-
cept rockets and Roman candles, shall
not be discharged, fired, or used with
in 200 feet from any building. Nc
rockets or Roman candles shall be dis
charged within 500 feet from any
building. This order shall not apply
to fireworks displays made under the
direction of town or municipal author
tiles, provided the same do not violate
the provisions of Section 4398f of the
statutes, and provided further that no
fire balloons shall be stored or used
under any circumstances"
In addition to these provisions many
cities have adopted ordinances regu-
lating fireworks.
Police officials should strictly en-
force this statute, order and the local
ordinance.
Municipal celebrations should be
held in parks, or other places away
from buildings.
Proper observance will eliminate the
usual Fourth-of-July carnage and
fires.
