Pathetic Picture of Author.

In the first chapter of Edmund
Gosse's Impressions" he recalls "a
strange pair in a victoria he often met
in the course of his walks from the
northwest of London toward Whitehall
in and after 1876. The man, prema-
turely aging, was hirsute, rugged
and satyrlike. That was George Henry
Lewes. The woman was "a large,
thick-set sybil, whose massive features,
dreamy and immobile, somewhat grim
when seen in profile, were incongru-
Gus bordered by hat, always in the
height of the Paris fashion, which
in those days commonly included
an immense ostrich feather" That
was George Eliot. The contrast be-
tween the solemnity of the face and
the frivolity of the headgeaf had
something pathetic and provincial
about it.

left the teaching profession and en-
tered the field of social work. She
was made supervisor of attendance
of the Madison city schools, organic
ed and directed that department for
seven years. Her work was largely
preventive and educational, dealing
with all the problems which enter
the lives of children, compulsory ed
ucation, child labor, delinquency, de-
tendency and neglect.
She has always stood strongly for
the specialization of the public
schools organized and directed Mad
ison's first Parent-Teachers' Associa-
ton, was the first probation officer
of the Juvenile court.
In June, 1919, she went to the
State Board of Health to become
director of social work for the new
bureau of Social Hygiene. She
assisted in organizing and directing
the educational and social phases of
the work, and is still acting. in this
capacity.
She is now state chairman for the
Social Hygiene committee of the
Wisconsin League of Woman Voters,
of the Wisconsin State Teachers
Association, and for the Dane county
League of Women Voters.
She bases her candidacy on her
public service record for over a
quarter of a century; she feels this
varied and extensive contact
throughout the state has established
certain definite conclusions concern
ing the needs of our people, and the
possibilities of our state.
Miss Riley will open her speaking
campaign after the primary.

Invented Railroad Tickets.

Thomas Edmondson, an Englishman,
deserves our thanks. 1t is not very
amusing to stand in queue at the
railway depot waiting for your ticket,
but your wait would be far longer had
not Edmondson invented the ticket
printing machine.
Previous to this invention, a paper
ticket had to be filed up by hand for
each passenger; in still earlier times
the name and address Of every travel
er was entered In a book. What a
slow process it must have been!
It is pleasant to be able to record
that, unlike some other inventors, Ed
mondson profted fairly well by his
discovery. For a license to use his
patent he charged yearly 81 per mile
Of railway. Thus h did not, as PEG
ola say, do badly"

Ross Goes To Mexico To Study
Conditions.

An 11-week study of social and
economic conditions in Mexico is be-
ing made this summer by Prof. E. A.
Ross, of the University of Wisconsin
sociology department.
II want to gather fresh impress
sions," said professor Ross. "Hav-
ing studied South America, / feel /
have a background for understand
ing Mexico. My aim is to study
social and economic conditions and
1 shall go where they can best be
studied.
"My ultimate curiosity is to see
what the common people of Mexico
got out of their revolution. After
having seen and studied the Russian
revolution, have a strong suspicion
that violent social revolutions do
more harm than good. want to
test this out in Mexico.
Il want to study the real toilers, :"
Professor Ross said, land see and
compare what the revolution has
meant to them and to the property
class. I want to study the relations
of the red and white races in Mexico.
Professor Ross is planning to
write a series of articles on the con-
ditions in Mexico, and his study will
also provide new material for his
students in sociology.

Fine Trees in calaveras Grove.

At the entrance to the Calaveras
(Cal.) grove were, until 1919, two fine
trees called the Sentinels. Only one
is now standing, the other having been
blown down in the great windstorm of
1919. South of the Sentinels and to
the right of the road on the hillside
stands a tree over Ia feet in diameter,
which has been named Old Dowd, in
honor of the discoverer of the grove,
which discovery was made in 1852.
The south grove extends three and
one-half miles and contains $3.50 large
trees. Any tree there under Is feet
in circumference is not considered
large tree.

Personal Responsibility.

A crook robs national bank of
one million dollars. The whole po-
lice powers of the state and nation
are put to work to catch this crook.
A man deliberately sets fire to a
grain-elevator in which one million
dollars worth of grain is stored.
Some fire marshall deputy, alone and
unaided, investigates this fire in the
hope of discovering sufficient evil
dence to bring the guilty man to
trial, perhaps before a jury strongly
prejudiced against circumstantial
evidence.
A mans sheer carelessness causes
fire which destroys a million doll
ars worth of property of his neigh
bors. Nothing is done to punish this
man, actually a certain amount of
misplaced sympathy is wasted on him
because of his own loss.
Why this widely different public
attitude in these three cases?
The robber can be trusted to put
the stolen money into circulation and
the country as a whole will have lost
nothing.
In the other two cases one million
dollars worth of wealth is destroyed
and the country is just that much
poorer. The people, not insurance
companies, will pay for loss in larger
insurance premiums and higher costs
Of everything.
If the fire marshall deputy is for
tunate enough to prove guilt, "be-
yond any reasonable doubt, the
man is punished, but nothing is done
to the man in the third case; al
though the effect in the last two
cases on the community and country
is the same
1t is right that the robber and the
arsonist be punished; it is wrong,
that the man whose absolute care
should go UNPUBLISHED.
Under the, Code Napoleon such
man must reimburse his neighbors
for their loss, and he insures for
such contingency.
In Germany a contractor was or
dered to pay the fire damage to a
building and the cost of putting out
the fire and cleaning up the building,
cause his faulty installation of the
heating apparatus was responsible
for the fire.
The farmer is held liable for dam
age, if he builds a fire and permits it
to spread to his neighbors land;
railroad companies have been held
liable for damage done by fire
spreading from their right of way.
Why not extend this liability to
the man with a basement full OF
rubbish, a defective chimney or other
known fire hazard, which results in
fire and injury to his neighbors?
Why not compel him to reimburse
the city for the expense OF putting
out the fire caused by his careless
ness?
Pennsylvania has such law. A
number of cities provide this by
ordinance.
The large majority of fires are
due to carelessness, and there is no
