few doorsa saloon wateris mighty
scarce and hard to get in Iron
River. But nevertheless they
have helped pay the tax year
after year, and Iron River is
greedy enough to want them to
continue to make the pay
ments. These towns have de
veloped rapidly and the people
who inhabit Barnes and Orienta
very naturally want self govern
ment and a chance to spend their
own taxes in their own way.
They are voted into existence as
one of the natural consequences
Of the development andgrowth OF
the county. A few days ago
there was held at Iron River the
greatest meeting Of it's kind in
northern Wisconsin, meeting
10 take steps for organized effort
to develop the agricultural re-
sources of the north. Now the
citizens Of the very town which
was SO administrations develop
ment" are showing their teeth
when it comes to a little develop
ment" at their very doors, by
which d country surrounding 1t
is to be settled up and the people
are to be allowed to govern them
themselves. There is no reason
why Barnes and Orienta should
help pay for the adVanl ages of
light and water and street i'm
provements Of Iron River, and
there is no valid reason why the
people Of these proposed new
towns should not have the privi-
| lege Of governing themselves, and
the Pioneer champions a cause
born in selfshness and fostered
in greed when it tries to depriv
Barnes and Orienta of the same
rights enjoyed by the people in
other parts Of Bayfield, county.

oRIENTA AND BARNES, AGAIN.

An Old and ella BILE citizen OF
Iron River sent a communication
to The WAsHBURN TIMES last
week criticising the action OF
those Iron, Rlverites who have
brought an action to test the
legality of the county board set
ting off the town of Barnes. The
recommendation" did dot appear
in THE TIMES but a long editorial
did appear, giving a jist of the
complaints made by the cold and
reliable together with some
commentaries by the editor.
Those who are opposing the new
town of Barnes are described as
"kickers" who have but a fctic-
ious residence upon homesteads
in the territory set off, and who,
because they have axes to grind
of different kinds, are opposed
to the new town.
The boys who are fighting the
new town are good substantial
men, who are putting their money
into the development of the new
north but they believe, as many
others believe, that the time is
hardly ripe for a division of the
town. Some day the whole
county will be divided up into
new taxing districts: and when
that time comes the CHECKERS
above referred to will be found
ready to say amen to any lawful
division of the town.
The above appeared in the last
issue of the Iron River Pioneer.
The Pioneer takes the position
that the towns Of Barnes and
Orienta have been unlawfully
created and that the suits
brought by citizens of Iron River
to set aside the action of the coun-
ty board IN creating the towns
is right. 1t may be inferred from
it's article that it is not of much
importance so far as legally Great
ing the towns is concerned, but
the objection is based upon rea-
sons that are apparent enough to
one who considerd the Iron River
point of view. TIE TIMES will
not argue the point that it is bet
ter to proceed legally in such
matters and to provide against
litigation by taking proper action
in advance in the setting off of
new towns. But Orienta and
Barnes have been created in ex.
actly the same manner as were
Washburn, Drummond, Mason,
Pratt, Port Wing and even Iron
River. No fault was found with
the action of the county board in
setting off Iron River in precisely
the same manner as was Orienta
and Barnes. No one has stood
up to make a kick against the
town of Bell, which is to come in
to existence this spring. And
no one has yet started protest
against the new town of Eileen,
which was created last week by
action of the county board. The
sum and substance of the whole
opposition is easily figured out,
and it was partially stated in the
issue of The TINES to which the
article from the Pioneer is a
reply. There are many jndivi-
duals in Iron River who protest
because it deprives themof politi-
cal and Office holding rights in
Iron River while they are clutch
ing for a hold upon homesteads
that will be either in Barnes or
Orienta unless the new towns
can be lawed out of existence,
Another reason which is also
very apparent is that the Iron
River people have been pulling
on the farmers and other inter
ests in the new towns Ito help
gay for their water and lights.
Farmers out in Orienta and
Barnes have not used great
deal of the electric light, and it is
if thew have drank

TRUSTEE LEWIS for Henry
Herman-ef Milwaukee, who alb
seconded some months ago, has
made his report to the Court
which shows that the assets of
the estate were insufficient to
meet the expenses Of bankruptcy
and consequently the creditors
will not receive d cent from the
wreck. Wonder what became Of
those Bayfield, and Western bonds
and securieties which Herman
secured from Bayfield, county.

Sabin and the unsuccessful law
suit carried on by the county,

There was something like $25, 900
in this deal and the all-rOund
whack-up that Herman had to
make ought not to have entirely
disappeared.

THE report of the Investigation
of charges made of the report of
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General on the investigation Of
the post office department con-
corning members of congress.
kicked up an awful stir when it
wrs presented at Washington
last week. About half of all the
congressman were given person
al mention, but perusal of the
report exhonerates nearly all Of
them-certai all ofthe Wiscon-
sin members. It appears that
the members are in the habit of
making recommendations from
time to time as to the amount
which should be allowed to post
offices for expenses Of light and
fuel, and occasionally clerk hire.
In case these recommendations
are for proper amounts then a
congressman is only doing his
pla / n duty, as he is supposed to
aid the department. in the proper
adjustment of such affairs. In
case he should recommend an
unreasonable amount then he
would be guilty of using his in
fuence to further private gains.
But the report shows that the
Wisconsin congressman and
nearly all the rest recommended
nothing but what is proper, and
that being the case there is
no imputation that can rest upon

WILLIAM r. HEARST has
carried the state of Rhode Island
for the presidency. Many of the
leading democrats of Wisconsin
declare that Hearst will have the
Badger state. From every part
of the country comes the claims
for Hearst. Surely democrats
are placing their party above
theta country, for while they con-
slider that Hearst is the only man
who might win the hopeless bat
tie, yet sensible people ought to
feel that of ali public men Hearst
should be the last who ought to
win. Hearst stands for the
arraignment of class against
class, for factionalism and strife
he is a destructionist in every
sense of the word, and how any
man who has ever read his yellow
sensational sheets could tolerate
him as party leader is beyond
belief. The only redeemlng
feature about Heaast, should he
be nominated, is that his defeat
at the polls would save the suffer
ings and eart-aches of some good
man who might aspire to the
presidency, and there would be
mighty few who would waste any
compassion on the sensational
young man who represents a New
York district in Congress.

TRAINING SCHOOL.

Miss Bohrer returned from her home
in Minnesota on Sunday morning.
John Humphrey, principal of the
school at Stratford, visited us Monday.
A class in algebra was started on
Monday to accommodate many who
desire to work for higher certificate
Miss Pansy Shortt, formerly of Grand
Rapids entered school on Monday
morning and will remain until the close
of the term. She has recently finished
short term at Rib Falls
The debate between the Agricultural
and Training schools will be given on
Friday evening at the school. The six
participants have doubtless learned
much about the question which will be
of real value to them in the solution of
future problems.
A week ago the ladies of the Wausau
Literary club presented to the Training
school fine picture of Stratford-on-
Avon. Mrs. Dickens, president of the
department of Philanthropy and
Reform, and DIR. Margaret Treyitt
of the Art and Literature department
visited us on Thursday, bringing the pic
ture with them and presenting it with
appropriate remarks. The custom has
been to donate and distribute pictures
of less value to the various schools of
the county each year, but the ladies had
concluded to vary the custom by
placing one beautiful picture of greater
value in the school where the teachers
were trained. The vigorous applause
which both ladies received testified in
part to the thorough appreciation of

manner make him most agreeable
visitor and his discriminating remarks
were highly appreciated. We clip from
''The Press the following from his pen:
1--WE spent day and a half in the
training school at Wausau during the
vacation and had very pleasant visit
We found an enthusiastic class of stu
dents and a very competent faculty
The school is housed in special build
ing provided for the training school
and for the agricultural school. The
facilities for teaching are of the best
and of a modern type. The training
school running at its full capacity can
not supply the demand for teachers.
The absence of boys in the teachers
training classes is noticeable here as
elsewhere. UnderN the guidance of the
faculty of the agricultural school we
had the pleasure of seeing their fine
equipment and finally of being served
with very pretty lunch by the students
of the cooking department under the
supervision of Miss Conley"

Political Morality.

The result of our city election has
drawn out diversity of opinion con
corning the method employed by the
party managers to influence the result
After election musings are usually I'M
profitable and we would hardly venture
to refer to the subject, were it not true
that many of our good citizens, who
would prefer to have our municipal
contests decided in an ideal manner,
are looking in the wrong direction for
the transgressor. To many, but a SUI
perficial knowledge of the facts would
be source of surprise and perhaps
modification, especially, if it would
show them that the wet goods campaign
method in this city has been practically
mOnOpolized by the republican mana
gers and carried on to such an extent
as to disgust even the most liberal
minded. When to this is added the
silly humbug circular, then the demo-
Gratis have every reason to feel proud
of their campaign management.
We do not wish to mention details it
being an easy matter for those who are
interested TO obtain the facts. We
trust this allusion to the matter shall
have a tendency to cultivate greater
respect fer the sanctity of the home and
the value Oh . free, uninfluenced ex-
preston of the rights of citizenship.

The Herald in its last issue makes the asser-
ton that the PILOT editor is a stakeholder III the
pure and simple, and that paper has only TO in
quire at the eompany's office TO ascertain that
II is in error in this matter.-Pilot.
If the PuoT editor wants to know the truth of
the matter, it was one of the Wausau Electric
company directors that the Herald got its infor-
nation from. If the PILOT wants to be honest
with its readers, why does it not tell them that
while the electric company stock has not yet
been issued to its editor, he made application
for stock some time ago and 1t was promised to
him and will soon be issued to him-if IL has not
alraady been issued. When the PILOT has owned
ny to this its readers can easily understand its
opposition to city lighting plant. Business
interests set deeper than political principles
with some people.-Herald.
Last February when the Wausau Elec-
trio company increased its capital stock
the PILOT editor and few others
made application for some of it, but it
was mutually understood that if the re-
quest was granted it remained optional
whether they took it or not; merely a
matter of giving time to investigate
whether the applicants could make the
purchase and as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
the investment. Notice was given on
the lst of March that a certain proper
ton of the stock had been allowed APP
plicants and that payment for the same
would have to be made by the 18th of
March at which time the stock was to
be issued. The editor of this paper re-
piled at once that he was unable to take
the stock This was personally told to
the editor of the Herald and yet he per-
sists in publishing what he knows to be
lie. We leave il with the public as to
who has shown honesty in this matter.
We consider it just as honorable to be
a stakeholder in the Wausau Electric
company as to be one in any institution
similarly organized, and further, that
the men interested in the enterprise are
among the most enterprising of our
city, Notwithstanding insinuations to
the contrary.
We would like to have the Herald
produce one line from the PILOT show
ing that it is, or has been, opposed to
the citys owning its own lighting plant.
1t is certainly in favor of Il full and
careful investigation before taking the
step, though
