Fraternity the Great Need.

1t was Victor Hugo who conceived
this thought: ''The true resistance of
man against catastrophes is an aug
mentation of humanity. Love one an
other, aid one another. Solidarity of
men is the retort TO completely of mys-
FERROUS facts. 1t is thus that is estab-
lished on earth the third term of the
grand human formula, fraternity. Gov
ernments put obstacles in the way Of
liberty and equality, they will come in
their time, in spite of the monarchy /;
equality in spite of the aristocracy.
But fraternity is the opening door, the
emptying purse, the helping hand"

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in, a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.

Good Roads Delayed by Politics.

A warning against state as Nell as
local Tamnlanys, which he branded as
wreckers of efficient work, by high
way construction commissions was
sounded by A. II. Hirst, state high
way engineer of Wisconsin, at the an
nual banquet of the Portland Cement
association in Chicago Mr.. Hirst
urged that citizens and taxpayers all
over the nation organize to prevent
from wasting millions which have
been appropriated for good roads.
when a state has from $S0,000,000 to
$100,00000O to spend for highway
construction it Immediately has the at
tention of the new Tammmnys and
other political machines" he said.
when there were only a Few thou
sands for road building these politi-
clans considered it chicken feed and
paid little attention to it. Now when
state has an immense sum politi-
clans cannot get to it quickly enough.
When politician sets himself up as
sole arbiter of expenditures for high
way construction, he is throwing
monkey wrench into the machinery of
a department which is operating on
an efficient and economical basis. The
governor who will do things like that
Injuries the cause Of highway censtruc-
tion. Highway work must be divorced
from politics. 1t is disgrace to any
state whose officials refuse to COM
plete link of good roads between
Chicago and Milwaukee-an l am not
going to name that state-because
they cannot have everything their
way" Mr.. Hirst added that when a
state changes its political complexion
and with it the leadership in its high
way department, the shock is selt
throughout the commonwealth.

Hearings on Minimum Wage Rate.

The industrial commission an
nounced hearings to be held through
out the state in the first week in Juae
on the petition of the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor, the Milwaukee
Council of Social Agencies, and the
Wisconsin Consumers league, for an
increase in the minimum wage rates
and decrease in the hours of labar
of women and minors, which has becn
pending before the commission since
last fall. On June l hearings will fe
held at Superior, Green Bay, Ia
Crosse, and Sheboygan; on June 2 1T
Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire. Antiso
and Kenosha and Fond du Lac; ard
on June 3 at GAINESVILLE, Wausaw, MI
waukee and Madison. No conclusioas
have been reached as yet by the cola-
mission or the advisory wage boa-d
upon this petition Reports which
have appeared that rate of q cents
an hour has been agreed uron are
without foundation. Not even tenta-
tive conclusions have rs yet been
reached In the notices being sent
out by the commission the statement
is made that information is desired
upon the cost of living to self-support-
ing women in Wisconsin as shown by
recent surveys, and also upon whether
there is difference in the minimum
cost of living in large and small towns
and, if so, what is fair differential.
Information is also sought upon wheth-
err a reduction in the hours of labor
of women is necessary for their health
and safety, and particularly whether
there are industries and occupations
in which the work is such that an I'M
usual strain is produced, rendering
shorter hours more necessary than in
most lines of work. The commission
also desires information upon any re-
spect in which the minimum wage
law as at present administered does
not work out satisfactorily. The pres
ent minimum rate is % cents an hour,
having been established at that figure
in 1919. This rate allows $40 per
week for board, 81 per week for room
rent. $3.50 per week for clothing, ano
50 for incidentals. The petitioners
who seek an increase in the rate
claim that these allowances are toe
small, and that, despite decreases, the
minimum cost Of living of self-support-
ing women is still higher than it was
two years ago, and that rents in par
ticular have increased. On the Other
hand. it is contended that the presen!
time is inappropriate for an increase
in the minimum wage rates, and thar
living costs are coming down rapidly.
Fight over Traffic Regulations.
One of the sharp fights of the ses-
sion is developing in the legislature
over the question Of regulating high
way traffic, especially, that of motor
trucks. Recently the joint highway
committee of the senate and the as
sembly reported favorably on bill
396-S. which Classics the highways OF
the state and limits the loads accord
ing to the classification. A hearing
was held on the bill, at which the
truckmen protested vigorously against
the measure. It passed in the senate

BOLD ROBBERY OF

Officers Thwart Attempt to Rob Clothing Store-Exciting
 Chase

Several suits of clothes and about S2O in cash was taken from the Cypress cleaning establishment at 20l2 Fourth avenue, north, about 1 o'clock this morn ing. The thieves gained entrance to the store by breaking through a rear window
 light is kept burning in the store all night and there are several stores across the street that remain open all night, but in spite of this the thieves walked boldly about the pressing shop and from the number of suits that were thrown about they picked the colors and sizes to suit them.
 An attempt was also made earlier in the night to rob the clothing store of s. Dansky at 110 Twentieth street, south, but the thieves were foiled by Sergeant Crump and Carl Brown from police head quarters, who arrived upon the scene just as the robber was attempting to saw through the iron bars on a rear window to the store.
 An exciting chase followed, but the thief had a good lead on the officers and managed to make his escape in the darkness. The thief is believed to have been, working alone and had already sawed through one of the bars upon the window and was starting upon another when the guardians of the law put in their appearances 5e

The plan worked so well that the in terest Is being used to help other villages ana additional appropriations will. be made from our relief funds to extend this sort of relief in Poland"
 The villages assisted were made up chiefly of Lutherans, but where there were Jewish and Catholic farmers in the communities these were also aided by the loan banks In many of the villages assistance was also extended to textile workers, whose handlooms had been de- stroyed, and the peasant home industries are being restored. sf
 All in all the American Lutherans have given $3,o0o0 900 for European relief work in the last 1S months, and this has been expended in 14 countries of central Europe, extending from the new Baltic governments made out of old Russia to Bulgaria
 Large supplies of food and clothing have been distributed by the American Lutherans. but pr.

Warsaw, April 14.-Driven from pal- ace to hovel, some of the members ol the aristocracy of old Russia now are peeling potatoes or chopping wooo here flor a living.
 Five thousand men and women and children. some of whose resounding titles once brought them homage of courtiers, are clustered here after hav- ing fled to Poland before the bolshe- wiki. Helping them to help themselves is Madame Ludmila. Lubinoff, herself one of the oldest Russian houses ana the wife of q former civil governor of Warsaw.
 This remarkable woman is conduct ing soup kitchens, sewing rooms and workshops for mem bers of her uns happy class and taking orders from her are men who once commanded the armed forces of the Russian emperor. On her staff are admirals, generals, governors, mayors and members of the old Petrograd court while her husband has laid aside his guberna, torial duties to become her secretary.
 SHE STILL HAS HOPE
 A beautiful woman, she hides the tragedy of her life under an optimism that is an example to the unhappy folk to whom she ministers. A wom. an of action, too, for she escaped from Petrograd with her two sons after freeing her husband from the fortress of Peter and Paul and arming him with fictitious passport that ena- bled him to flee to Warsaw. Here the family was reunited ei
 Selling virtually all she possessed to aid her fellow countrymen, Mme. Lubinoff organized the Warsaw branch of the Russian Red Cross, which is being aided by the American organization. Sparing not herself, Madame Lubinoff has not spared the colony of refugees, which included many of the former Russian nobility, In the soup kitchen and wood yard which she has established in a Russian orthodox church at Podwal--a squa1- i'd property placed at her disposal-are
