. "THE FISHING IS GOOD." When thp ft:vp solons from the Eailger state forefather at Madixi.n tr legislate for Bob I.afollett tl tv alv.aya manage i'or a sido L-vsuo to fratur up a fow- amemlmenfs each ses.;on to the fish an-i pam? laws that aio a joy and delight to the h us hy-h aired and In ns-n.v h.:-Vro.s:tncd guides who luro thf tuileless non-resider.t fishermen to swap their new-fangled fihin doodaa.-. for monstrous, but none the le5. detectabks tUh lies. They s'ir.p: oii coming and they string you cofng ir. Wisconsin. They let you know beforehand that the fishing is good and when you arrive the variety of alib's 'he repot t proprietors, guides and under-satraps have make the late-lamented Haron Munchausen kick his feet against the dashboard of his coffin. Before you throw a hook into a lake, you must have a license huns on you and it tekts the better part of a day to get it filled out. It is a cross between an insurance policy and a mort?age affidavit. Your sex, ae, weight, height, color of hair, eyes, bust measure, circumference of calf, size cf hat, must all be "carefully sworn to. Before your inquisitor has got his second wind, you begin to realize that you are up against a serious proposition, lie asks you where your grandparents were born and whether any of your ancestors were hunc for sheep-stealirg. He asks you your views on one-piece bathing suits and v. hether or not you believe the kaiser started the war. Sweat exudes from your pores, but he has only just begun. He wants to know whether you will support Bob Lafolletta if you ever become a resident of Wisconsin, and a thousand other questions." When you have finished and feed him he muriiiura beneath his whiskers, "And may God "have mercy on your soul."' You l.now by this time that fishing is a terrible thing and go forth to fish. But ;.!1 is not yet well. You are after muskie, bass, pike, perch or pickerel, but the spectres of the game warden and the judge hover over you. These v. orthies must live. You land "a fat 12 ?i -inch pike. He scales tvo pounds rid you grab for the stringer. "Wait anon," says the guide, "I'll have to measure him. Pike must be thirteen inches long or thrown back." And back he goes. You land a plump lUtle muskie of nine pounds after a prettv fght, but he only tapes 2' inches. You have to toss him back nonchalantly tor he must by law be 26 inches lortr. And so it goes. Day after day you troll and cost and cast and troll, for you were fathead enough to promise a box of fish, and finally you land enough for d 20-pound box, but the restrictions are fearful. A py has about as much chance to ship a box of sh out of Wisconsin as a negro has of bein,? elected mayor of Tallahassee. To j pack your fish and then you ha-e to fill out an affidavit for every fish telling w-here and how you caiuht him; what hook and bait you used; whether you used a gaff or a landing net; how many scales he has, and who bis dam and sire were. Then you clip an identification coupon from your license and paste it on the affidavit. "At last," you hoarsely articulate. But. ah, no, the espressmnn requires you to fill out a slip on which you answer IS more questions, and then ho pives you a reloase or a sheriff's sale and everything is rp to the game warden He may yank the rover off the box and paw over the poor fish and confiscate the lot, besides fining you $5') and costs. Finally the fish are in the express car and on reachinc their destination you may be eternally overjoyed if the hungry express messenger hasn't gone over the lot and gleefully yanked out your pri;: fish by the tail and given it at the end of his run to the mother of his flock for the place of honor in the frying ran.

Government Wants Men and Women to Enforce the Child Labor Laws

(By TJnitad Tesa.) WASHINGTON'. Sept. 19 Encle Earn is holding examinations today all over the country to sacure experts men and women to .assist in the chiid-conserv-ng.' baby-saving work of the department of labor In war time. Miss Julia t". Eathrop, chief of the children's bureau, needs a corps of trained investigators to enforce the new federal child inbor law. She also needs skilled wom

en to aid in the prevention of infant mortality. To meet these demands civil service examinations are being conducted today and they are examinations extraordinary, shattering the hoary traditions of competitive tets for government service. The men and women who are taking those examinations are doing so in the

comfort of their own homes. This new system eliminates the necessity of writing and reading lengthy papers and of Journeying far to civil service offices. All that is required Is that a candidate fill out a blank stating his experience, some details of his personal history, and giving references who can he approached confidentially. Those who pass the first examination satisfactorily become eligible to an oral test, which, according to Miss Eathrop, "constitutes a radical departure from the oid method which endeavored to disguise personality."

THE ITALIAN VICTORY. Now it Is' Monte Gabriel. Observers at a safe distance sometimes cry out at the "slowness" of tho Italian advance. King Victor's armies have had an uphill ficht in the most difficult of mountain territory.. The northern boundary of Italy was arranged for that purpose. Yet these eallant armies are the only entente forces In Europe who have from the first fought on conquered soil. The heavy blow struck last year by the Austrian in the Sette Cnmmuni did not rob them of that precedence. Whether Cadorna can win more progress r.ow will depend on conditions which are carefully censored. But a. victory of the first magnitude has been won in scaling Monte Santo, which dominates ihe Isonzo as Storm Kins does the Hudson at Cornwall, but higher and more forbidding in outline. I's summit commands the lower ground both toward Tolmino and Gorizi'a, ;nd Its possession lessens the dancer of flanking fire if the Italians go forward. The pushing forward of the lines on Monte Hermada, near the coast, may prove as great a triumph. Monte Santo menaces Trieste's comtnunications; Hermada menaces Trieste itself.

SLIDING SCALE OF WAGES. For the most clever way of working out satisfactory wage scales you have to hand it to the sheet steel ar.d tin p'.ate workers of this country. Every time manufacturers exact a little more from the public these workmen benefit in proportion, and raises made the other day of and 1'

f C,t;U rrsJK'cmvi-v' t0 rf',,aia Poults of workmen in Gary, Younestown, -erre Hauto, I'm.-,burg. Morgantown. Cambridge, Sharon, and otiTer places recall thai increases alone this year now amount to 70 per cent. In a proftssion that was already highly paid the wages of some workmen run from ;-un to $:r.o and $S0O monthly. Where their less fortunate brethren In the steel industry get a dime raise occasionally these men take additional dollar mere'.-es every so often. IVicos of tin plate. and sheet steel products are wav out of proportion 1-. what they st.ould he and reflect the general tendency to get all that can b- had out of the public. But the sheet steel and tin plate business, thanks ;o 'he shrewdness of these workmen, causes employer to split with "emplovoand while the division oi profits is merely a fractional one the sliding scale oi wages seems to produce satisfactory results. As for other workmen in the steel world, while the concerns run up profile that reckon into the hundreds cf millions, the increase they get eni'bles most of them to keep up with the cost of living. It might be argued that if all profiteering industries raised wage? in proportion as they ,-aised prices that the cost of living would go up proportionately and in the Ions run the workmen would not be better off. Perhaps other employed persons would not, but those particular workmen would at least share in some measure the bloated prosperity. the corporalions that employe them. As it is, the steel business in general, as far as pmf is are concerned, has been wholly selfish when one considers' the differenca between what the' stockholders and workmen have received.

SHOULD HAVE HAT) A CHANCE AT IT. As this paper pointed out, the administration at Washington is be .ns subjected to some cri'icism because it permitted James W. Gerard, former Berlin ambassador, to exploit through a Philadelphia paper this country's diplomatic relations with Germany. Whether it was because Gerard is a democrat we rh not know, but we do know that all newspapers should have 1 ad a chance at such things as the kaiser's note. This paper would have : eon glad to contribute its share towards the rights for publishing this diplomatic correspondence simultaneously with other newspapers. The Columbus lu'publican puts it succinctly: ( "A rather unusual precedent has been established by some department off'-ial at Washington in allowing Ja.-ne- W. Gerard, fr.rTorr ambassador to Germany, to sell the secret and diplomatic ro-r rewpendenee rf this nation for private gain. Gerard made. a contract with a Philadelphia rewnpaper to print in serial form the iharvrs that p to mal.e up the book he has written about his stay in (lermnnv. Tha t the fonier ambassador gets a pa-ed figure, for these installments has never fn denied. One of the first chap, ters contained a copy of a. rote Kaiser Wilhelm wrote to this country. After the note arrived hen? it was the confidential property of this nation. It was a part of the secret diplorr at ic correspondence that rarely is Riven out. But Geraid pot it and sold it to the Philadelphia payvr, It was copyrighted and although other newspapers used if. all made themselves to federal prosecution for do ing. If th- kaisers letter was to be made public it should have been given to all newspapers and press associations alike. This tMng of nllowins a man who has quit the govem-ment service to set! a confidential letter, merely to make seme money out of it. js a practice that should be curbed at once."

LOOKS FOR THE SOLDIERS. Next on the pros-ram for those who aren't going to the front, is to pitch in. give their share and help to get others to follow suit vrhen the State War Library Council has its collection campaign, September 24 October 1. Assessment levied on each community aren't very much, and all that the whole slate is a.-ked to rive is $l25.ft0V This money is going to be used to buy hooks for sailors and soldiers. The books will be put in camps, the trenches, hospitals, warships, transport?, and evert on troop trains that make long and monotonous crosscountry journeys. A local man. Librarian I,. J. Bailey of Gary, is state director of the Indiana War Library Council, which is all the more reason for this region to keep up the splendid record it made in the Red Cross, Liberty Loan and Y. M. C A. tpmpaisns.

ANOTHER TOUGH QUESTION. Ju.-t when this country sets the air motor problem solved, new Liberty Loan bonds perfected andthe national army machinery goins on in good shape, .filone comes a new and encirolins question. Says the Paris (Mo.) Mercury : ' The ladies' society of th old Box Trot Mill neighborhood will meet with Miss Til He Wiggles next Tuesday evenine. The subject for discussion will be: "What'Il we do with our garters when we get to wearing socks?'"

NOW comes story out of New York that millions of sole leather hides f re held in storaee by speculators and that's why shoes are from f5 to J12 a pair. Next to patriotism the rrost absorbing passion in this country seeui--to be extortion.

The number of those who prefer the Sedan for use " throughout the year is steadily increasing. The reason is easily understood when you consider how adaptable it is to the frequent weather changes common to all parts of the country. Almost instantly it can be changed to accommodate itself to heat or cold, rain or shine. It will pay you to visit us and examine this car. The gasoline consumption is unusually low. The tire mileage is unusually high. Sedan or Coupe, $1263; Touring Car or Roadster, $S3o. (A.U prices f. o. b. Detroit.)
