THIRD time
ISACHARM

Senator Kenyon's third attempt to
bring athe Shepard Towner Bill to a
vote in the Senate proved unexpectedly
successful; and the vote in favor of it
proved even larger than any one had
hoped for. There were seventy sena-
! tors present at the time; and sixty
three or exactly ninety per cent, voted
for the measure.
1t provides help and medical care
for women about to become mothers
who for any reason fail to secure same
otherwise 1t is known that about
$4,000 mothers and approximately ten
times as many babies die each year in
the United States because of the lack
of such attention; and the purpose of
the bill is to put an end to this need
less sacrifice of human life.
Opponents of the measure, while
few in number, were nevertheless bit
ter. Senator Reed, of Missouri, at
tempted to get the official title Of the
measure changed as follows: "a Bill
to Organize Board of Spinsters to
Teach Mothers How to Raise Babies"
The bill has already gone to the
House of Representative where the
fight will have to be repeated. If it
is finally passed there, only the presi-
dents signature will be required to
make it. law.

With MANS
APPROVAL

All honor to the mayor of Boston,
the birthplace of culture and the
home of beans.
His Honor has approved the wear
ing of knickerbockers in daily life by
the women of his city, and there is
not gasp. He sees in this innova-
ton greater freedom of movement,
increased health, and a degree of
feminine modesty superior to that of
the present mode of dress.
And possibly he is right
Women are always hampered in
their movements by trailing or cling
ing skirts, and especially is this sc
by those who earn their daily bread
Skirts are hot in summer and un.
sanitary at all times. They are g
nuisance and an ever increasing
source of expense. There is no rea
son why they should not be side
tracked in favor of garments thai
are more sane, sensible and economi
cal in every way.
When knickerbockers make theil
appearance they will be criticised, bu
if the throwing Of stones is restrict
ed to those who are themselves with
out fault there will be but few O.
them thrown.

NOT ALL ARE
" ORTHY

The natives of India are believers in
the black magic when it comes to deal
ing with their government. One of
their practices is to burn an old wo-
man alive whenever they have griev-
ance against the state as a means of
calling down the vengeance of heaven
upon it.
A few weeks ago the people of Ma
lava became incensed over the high
taxes. They selected an aged widow,
prepared a pyre, and invited her rel
atives to attend the tragic ceremony.
British officers heard what was going
on and troops were called out to pre-
vent it. When they arrived, they were
attacked by the angry multitude who
did not propose to be thwarted in
their purpose. The woman could be
seen making frantic efforts to save
herself but every time she struggled
she was pushed back into the flames
Finally the soldiers were compelled to
open fire upon the mob, killing seven
persons; but when they arrived at the
pyre, the woman was dead.
It is little puzzling to reflect that
all this took place within the past
month among a people that are clam
oring loudly for the right of self gov
eminent.

Cumberland City Council Passes
Ordinance Against Shows.
Cumberland, Nd, August g.
Cumberland has been added to the list
of cities in the east that have placed
carnivals under the ban The city
council, at its meeting this week,

attempting to exhibit would be sub
ject to fine of from $500 to $1,000 a

There has been general objection

FORCE BARS
LIFTED TOPUBLIC
USE OF LAKES

Madison-Private owners have no
lawful right to obstruct the lakes of
Wisconsin from use by the public
through construction of fences across
pathways or by any other means that
would keep the waters out of public
use, Atty. Gen, Morgan holds Friday,
in an opinion to the conservation COM
mission.
The ruling will open all of the lakes
to any persons who wish to make use
of them. 1t points out that the shores
of Lake Michigan and Superior are
included within this Interpretation
State Owns Lake Beds
'The rights of the public in navi-
gable waters of the state and on the
shores of lakes, the beds of which
are owned by the state, below the high
water mark, are paramount to the
private rights of owners of AUDITING
lands" the opinion states.
at is important that these rights be
maintained. The principle of state
ownership of our lakes and the beds
thereof to the high water mark would
be meaningless and impotent if the
use and enjoyment of the public wa
ter could be monopolized by riparian
owners, simply by permitting them to
exclude the public from access there
to, in denying the public it's rights to
the use of the shore below the high
water mark.
"The state of Wisconsin is not
propagating and protecting fish at
public expense to the favored few
who may own lands abutting public
waters.
Owners Not Informed
'The property owner has no right
to prevent any person from entering
to any lake or to exclude persons from
any part of lake.
This opinion is said by the attorney
general to be in conflict with the com
mon belief of private owners of lands
about lakes. 1t is broad in it's scope
and will mean the opening of nun
dreds of lakes, now excluded from the
public, to their use.
Action of a private owner of land
near Peninsula State park in building
fence to exclude the public was the
basil of the opinion
