WAUSAU A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The people of our sister city of Wau-
sau are making great preparations for
their coming county fair. Committees
of business men have been appointed
and every possible effort will be made
to bring the farmers of Marathon
county to the fair as well as people up
and down the Wisconsin valley. Wau-
sau is a progressive city and her citi-
zens are public spirited, energetic and
everlastingly pounding away in favor
of Wausau. The citizens down there
with the efforts they are making, are
bound TO make one of the best cities in
the state. Their example is worthy of
imitation. What the citizens of Wan
sau are doing to advance the interest
of their city, can with profit be done in
Merrill or any other city. What are
the business men of Merrill doing to
induce the farmers and other people to
visit Merrill during the fairg So far as
we know, nothing has been done. 1t
would seem to us that the merchants of
this city who have goods to sell would en-
deavor to get all the trade for their city
that is possible. 1t would seem to us
that their own self interest would die
tate to do something at the coming
county fair. Fine exhibits ought to be
made and then inducements should be
held out to the farmer to come to town
and when he comes to town. he should
be looked after and entertained That
is what they are going to do down at
Wausau. They will not alone try to get
the farmer to come to town but they will
look after his physical comfort after he
is there Merrill Advocate.

sonal advantage could tempt him to
knowingly do wrong.
am not one of those who feel that
the standard of American citizenship
is on the decline, and yet we know that
the republic has its perils. In these
latter days many play the game of pol
itics as they would game of chance,
where winning is the great object of
the game; placing the interest of party
or self above the interest of the state or
nation. Outside of politics, in the
realms of business, how often do we
see the interests of the public overrid-
den by the interests of self. immediate
pers3nal advantage being the great OBJ
ject. In bolh these spheres men prac-
tiee much thai they would not preach,
and even wink at and encourage the
practices of others that may rebound
10 their advantage, which they them
selves would not mipgio with.
Ii may be that We have not main
tanned the Puritan sturdiness of charac-
ter of the eas1y residents of New Eng
land, and it may seem at tines that the
moral fibre Of the rank ara file of our
citizens is not as tlrm as we have found
it at times and places in the past.
have sometimes thought that if our

thing, it is endangered by this decay
in the moral fibre, if there be such, or
to put it more comprehensively, by the
lack of appreciation on the part of all
of our citizens, of the great RESPONSE
bility that rests on each, to place
public interests above private interests,
and to strike down whenever seen inn
proper practices in politics and in busi-
ness.
Viewing Judge Bardeen's life from
the standpoint of the preservation Of
our Republican institutions, in all their
purity and vigor, think / can truth
fully say that no citizen of the state up-
held the traditions of true American
citizenship more firmly and more force
fully than he. No citizen of the stats
welded greater influence in fostering
and extending that devotion to honor
and public interests, that means the
guaranty of the safety of Republican
institutions.
His life has borne rich fruitage to the
lasting benefit of the state by heighten-
ing the quality of American citizen
ship. We are all of us better because
he has lived, and in his death we have
each suffered personal loss.

knew Judge Bardeen. He was my
friend, faithful and just to me. | came
here to Wausau, Marathon county, five
or six years after he had begun the
practice of his profession here, and
wish, in adding my testimony to that
of others, to say he represented the
best type of American citizenship; he
represented the best type of lawyer-like
devotion to the interests of his clients.
He represented, think, the best type
in our profession of fidelity to his oath,
to the court, to himself and to the com
munity No client ever complained of
his loyalty. And now that he is gone, it
is for us to remember his life and his
services as man and as citizen, as a
indge and practitioner at the bar and
to give him the full mead of praise that
he was entitled to, and that be was en-
titled to much think no member of this
bar and no one who ever came into pro-
fessional or social relations with him
will doubt or deny-and so, your Hon
or, without further words, because
words seem inadequate to us who
lived close TO Judge Bardeen, who fell
lowshipped with him in all the relations
of life, who knew bis good qualities and
knew his faults and were tolerant of
his faults because they were human,
prompted by kindly heart and by an
innate love of justice and fair play;
and without any formal arrangement
of this program, | would like to call
upon the members of the bar to join
with me in this expression of esteem
and respect for Judge Bardeen.
He was but little past the full flush of
manhood when the blight of death
came upon him. He had the right to
look forward to many years of activity,
but he was cut off in his prime before
he could finally carry out and execute
all the plans and ambitions for useful
ness that he had, aud do not know OF
any ceremony of this kind that | have
taken part in or that | have been an OBJ
server of that would create and bring
up so many sad thoughts aud retlec-
tions as this occasion. We expect that
old age will be the time for death, the
time for decay. 1t is logical and in the
course of nature, but the flower OF
Judge Bardeen's manhood was in the
flush when blight was nearest.

This is the closing paragraph of a
statement given out yesterday by the
highest source of authority in the mat
ter in this country It's significance is
very deep. 1t is direct warning to
President Roosevelt that should he
carry out his expressed intention to

To put it plainly, President Roose-

statement in which this significant

planation of the Kishineff massacre to
this country. There is a tone OF indig-
nation in the denial which composes
the rest Of the statement, and which
reads as follows:
