As to quality, the uninitiated would not bo able to distinguish the difference. With the Wisconsin state tag, all leather on both shoes, how is the consumer- helped to ditsin-guish between GOOD and POOR leather. With the tag on the cheap shoe the consumer will be more often led to 'believe the shoe as good as the $6 one, whereas WITHOUT the tag the inference left would bo that the $4 shoe must be shoddy at the price. Now as to tho substitute side of the question.

Let us suppose A to produce two shoes of equal quality as to upper stock and OUTER SOLES, one to carry a guaranteed fibre waterproof insole, a waterproof fibre counter, with a guarantee that if it fails a NEW pair of shoes will be given the heel waterproof leatheroid. The other shoe to carry the GIEAF leather insole, counter and heel making what is known as a dry weather shoe destined to fail if it happens out in a downpour, while the substitute shoe will carry thru all weathers to the satisfaction of the wearer. There is only one way the consumer can be reasonably protected as to quality and price, and that by way of a NATIONAL law under uniform detailed specifications with factory inspection, specifications to be posted in every retail store the shoe stamped U. S. inspection and the grade stamp corresponding to the grade shown on the specifications.

Without grade marks the all leather slogan becomes an absurdity. II. L. Atkins. THE A I A TIMES An Independent Newspaper Entered as second class matter at the Postoffies at Madison.

Andrews, New York City, declared there is need for state laws to protect mothers work in industry immediately before and after childbirth, and for legislation to bring about long range planning of public works and the creation by industry of reserve funds against an aid in permanently stabilizing employment. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, who are graduates of the University of Wisconsin, have for fifteen years jointly directed The following recently appeared in The Appleton Post-Crescent, a bitter anti-La Follette paper: An effort by C. B.

Ballard to place the town of Grand Chute on record as favoring a complete whitewash of Senator La Follettes activities in the war resulted in heated arguments at the towns annual meeting of Tuesday. Air. Ballard, who is state treasury agent and a resident of Grand Chute, introduced a resolution memorializing the state legislature to whitewash the senator. F. A.

Grant, chairman of the town, refused to entertain the resolution, declaring that the meeting was for the purpose of transacting town business. A heated discussion followed and after Grant refused" to call for a vote, Ballard put the motion. There was a chorus of ayes and then a chorus of noes, Ballard claiming that the ayes won while Grant contends there were more noes. At any rate no official count was taken and it -isnt probable that the town board will forward the resolution to the legislature. In reply to the above article Mr.

Ballard sent the following letter to the Post-Crescent: My attention has been called to an article appearing in your issue of April 4. I wish to state that you have been misinformed as to the resolution introduced. I am enclosing a copy and respectfully request that you publish it and also this letter. The resolution was signed by a number of electors and taxpayers of the town and carried by a viva voce vote, much to the apparent disgust of Mr. Grant.

The records show that at the last general election out of 435 votes polled in Grand Chute, Senator La Follette received all but 42. He carried practically every precinct in the county and defeated his opponent by a vote of over five to one. Hence, his war record needs no whitewashing, but has been wonderfully vindicated by the voters of my home county and the state. The state legislature has recently passed two resolutions, one in the assembly by a vote of 86 to 14 and in the senate by a large majority, condemning those who circulated false and libelous statements against his record and character, as did the resolution passed by the Outagamie county board. I feel that when an injustice such as this has been done this man, it is only fair and right that some public apology should be made concerning it.

I am glad to know there are still some people who believe in the Golden Rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The following is the resolution which was adopted at the Grand Chute meeting: Whereas, the county board of Outagamie county, at its annual session in 1917, passed a resolution condemning Senator La Follette for making alleged seditious speeches; and Whereas, thereafter, thorough investigation was made by the U. S. Senate of said speeches and the Senate found that the charges were false and exonerated the Senator and reimbursed him for hie expenses incurred in establishing his innocence, and from said Investigation it appeared that said charges had originated from propaganda, advanced by representatives of special interests and monopolies for the sole purpose of discrediting Senator La Follette as a champion of the rights and interests of the common people; and Whereas, at the annual meeting of the county board of supervisors of Outagamie county, November, 1922, a resolution was introduced directing that the aforesaid resolution be rescinded and- expunged from the records; and Whereas, upon a roll-call a majority of the supervisors present voted against said resolution, and among this number was the supervisor from Grand Chute, F. E.

Grant; now therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the electors and taxpayers of the town of Grand Chute, in annual meeting, do hereby resent and condemn such vote and action on the part of said supervisor as not endorsed by said electors of said town of Grand Chute, the electors of Outagamie county, or the electors of the State of Wisconsin as registered at the primary and general election of 1922, as Senator La Follette carried the town, the county, and the state by an unprecedented and overwhelming majority; and be it further Resolved, That the supervisor of this town of Grand Chute be directed to use all honorable means at the next session of the Outagamie County Board to bring about the repeal of the aforesaid resolution condemning Senator La Follette; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution, properly attested, be filed with the county clerk of Outagamie County, a copy sent to Senator La Follette, and copies to be sent to the Appleton Post-Crescent, The Kaukauna Times and The Capital Times of Madison.

Dear Ticks: I am one of the aggregat.v U. W. student who left last Tuesday for a recalled vacation at home. Well, vacation is something else than n'rat I had.

To begin with, our Yellow Cab was seconds behind the train, and I had to make a mad dash for the last coach minus a ticket. At Jefferson Junction I got off to smoke a cigarette, and my train nonchalantly unhitched trs last two coaches and steamed off without leaving my coat and grip on third last coach. (Lucky there were tVo fellows with me, who remained on the train). I rode as far as Watertown on the other train at the Junction, and then got home via trolley and minus two more dollars. I got the.

royal razz fron-. the boys and a variety of la grippe from the weather. That was Tuesday. Wednesday I lost eleven dollars in a poker game. Thursday my best girl ditched me, and I got a bill for thirty dollars from my home dentist, who got word that I was in town.

Friday I had to clean the furnace and go to a funeral. Saturday night I ran the car into an open gate and broke the front axle. Sunday it rained all day and so I stayed home. Monday .1 had. to bury myself in the public library looking up dope for my thesis.

Monday night a hound bit. me, and I barely made my train ior Madison. Tuesday morning. If you call this a vacation then King George III was a. signer of the Declaration of Independence.

There was a man in our town And he wajs wondrous rich; He hoarded all his money And hid it in a ditch. Now all thesfc, sir, were wise men. While I am but a fool, I am supposed to serve them And suffer while they rule.

EVER HEARD THIS BEFORE? (From Madiosn ARGUS DEMOCRAT, 1S39) AYERS PILLS Are curing the sick to an extent never before known to medicine. Our testimonial prove it! Buy Ayers Pills by the box! Seventeen persons ar now saying Pardon to- the-gowvmo LA FOLLETTE AND SOUTH DAKOTA La Follette, the man whom Daugherty had in mind when he referred to a perennial candidate for the presidency, is in a position to make trouble for the old guard, not only in the senate, but in the next republican national convention. This, at least, is the view of a well-informed South Dakota member of congress, who is familiar with political thought throughout the northwest. South Dakota republicans must decide in December, ahead of those in any other state, which candidate they will support for the presidential nomination. The politician mentioned, who i3 one of their leaders, is suffering from acute embarrassment, somewhat on the order of that of the average male who has got to go down first from the smoking room to gTeet a drawing room full of the other sex.

This politician wrote to a fellow South Dakotan, asking what in heaven's name they had better do. The reply came back that it looked as if the La Follette people might save them the trouble of making a decision by running away with the state convention. The recipient of this letter was inclined to agree with the diagnosis. Radical sentiment, he said, seemed to be growing in the northwest, particularly in Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana, and to a lesser extent in Iowa and Nebraska. St.

Louis Fost-Dis-patch. OPEN LETTER TO ASSEMBLYMAN An Open Letter to Frank Weber Will you frankly tell mo if strong drinks have ever been of any benefit to the laboring classes in any part of the world, and especially if the American saloon as run has been a help to the poorer people in this country and especially to tho immigrants. Is it not a fact that the drinking business has been a curse to all of us, and especially to the laboring classes. I see by The Capital Times that you are always before the several committees arguing it as a great benefit for us labor-men. I for one ask you as an organizer for the labor unions to prove where the benefit comes in, as I am one who fully believes the principles of the socialist party are good excepting your planks relating to liquor in your platform.

I ask you through The Capital Times to bring on your proofs. I for one fully believe your patty some day in the near future could get full control of our state if you would put morality into the platform and cut out anything that is lowering the moral standard. You see you have no following hardly outside of Milwaukee because you hang to the old brewery gang. Ed. Enserson, Chippewa Falls, Wis.

To Senator Bilgrien Beaver Dam Man Asks Legislator To Explain nis Record In Legislature. To Herman Bilgrien, Senator, 13th district. An item was published in The Beaver Dam Daily Citizen stating that they had received word from you that you were going to vote against the eight hour law. This is not surprising from your actions and voto during the present session of the legislature, and it will be an eye-opener to hundreds of laboring men and women who voted for you in the last election. The Progressive-Republican platform contained a plank favoring the basic eight hour day, and when Governor Blaine spoke in Beaver Dam he laid great emphasis upon this plank.

You were present at that meeting, but the Stalwart Republicans and big business representatives who are now fighting this measure, were not there. During the campaign nearly every voter in this district received a paper called Labor, dated at Washington, D. Aug. 5, 1922, in which the leaders in the labor movement came out in a wonderful endorsement of Senator La Follette and the progressive ticket in this state, upon which you were a candidate for state senator. Shortly before the election a leaflet was Issued by the Dodge county progressive committee, Edward Goetsch, chairman, and W.

W. Cutler, secretary, and sent to' nearly every voter in this county, urging them to support all the progressive candidates, who had adopted a platform in which the eight hour day was one of the principal planks to the laboring class. Hundreds of laborers voted for you, considering you were a man of principle, and now, when you are put 'to a test, you flunk. You are like a bunco man; you got their votes, and now turn and support the men who did everything in their power to beat you. You are elected for a four-year term, and if jthalajg.iax tho ecal cXcffirs jsaaaed.

S. Morris of this city. Where we spend one million on maternity protection, said Mrs. Andrews, other countries are spending many millions. No one today questions the undesirability of factory work for women about to become mothers, and no one will deny that breast fed babies have a better chance of life than those who are put on artificial food so that mothers may go off to work.

Practically every civilized country, according to Mrs. Andrews, has provided some form of cash and medical benefit for expectant mothers, in addition to prohibiting their employment in industry. Already, she continued, the industrial employment of women for some weeks before and after childbirth has been prohibited by state law in Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, Connecticut, Vermont and Washington. Dr. Andrews, who was a member of the Presidents Unemployment Conference, in discussing the problem of unemployment, urged the reservation 'of public works in prosperous times and the establishment of depression reserve funds by industry.

The whole history of industrial betterment, he declared, indicates the necessity of legislation if these social welfare measures are to be promptly and universally adopted on a satisfactory and permanent basis. The most practicable plan for unemployment compensation advanced in America is embodied in the well considered Huber bill now before the Wisconsin legislature. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Pure Shoe Bill Veteran Shoe Man Says Substitutes Are Superior To Toor Health.

When they penned the stuff with their squeaky quills which the orators love to quote. They gathered their thoughts as they went along, a all who will read may learn. And they labeled their gems with a line like this: After viewing a Grecian urn. Lines after seeing my ladya shoe peep out ffom her satin dress, That teld what the poem was all about and you never were left to guess.

Lines to a cat that howled at night, Lines to a full-blown rose, Lines after dining on shrimps and cheese and wonderful lines were those. Nothing was left, is those days of old, to hazard a chance or doubt. Just what the poet had seen or heard he told when he started out. Lines after hearing a lady sneeze, Lines to an empty purse. For those classic fellows always gave their reasons for writing verse.

They were wise old bards in those good old days who looked at the Grecian urn And were thrilled to song by my ladys shoe, as all who read will learn; And all who soar to the heights siiblime should leave, when theyre starting out, A line to tell the folks on earth just what it is all about.
