Still Good Republicans.

The Neillsville Times prints a
communication from an old line
Republican which conclusively
refutes the argument that old
Republicans are going to break
away from the party to follow
the boiling administration tick
ct fortunes. He says:

The result of the La Toilette
instruction cannot effect the re-
suit on the question of the cleo
tors to cast the vote of Wiscon-
sin for president and vice presi-
dent. Both Republican conven-
lions have declared for Roose-
Welt and Fairbanks. But there
is a legislature to be elected as
we'll as electors and governor
and other officials. and the stub
borness and seIhshncss'of La Fol-
lette, who deliberately and by
his own words placed himself
above the party that honored
him in sending him to Congress
and electing him governor, may
work mischief. What becomes of
him at the November election is
of slight importance-the impor-
lance is the possible result of his
bolt. But there are many weeks
between the announcement of the
governor in withdra wing his al
leigence to the Republicans will
hear the opinion of the party in
other states, and being sensible
and true men, it is uncomfortable
that any great portion of their
number will follow La Toilette
in bushwhacking his former po-
iitical associates. Like Republi-
cans of other states the Republi-
cans Of Wisconsin hold their par
ty affiliations for what their par
ty has done for the advancement
of American citizens and Ameri-
can interests, and not because of
any one man, no matter how
prominent he may be.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.

Webster E. Brown, Our Congressman
Gaining Friends Through His

pressons of admiration for our
present congressman from this

mean wholly admiration for his
PERSONAL for that is Welded him
by me,l of every utilization, but
it is admiration for him in his
official capacity, and this express

existing conditions. A trail about ten feet wide was made from Val dez, and extends north to the far interior of the country. The trail over which the wires are laid passes through hundreds of miles of heav- fly timbered country, and if an oc- casional tree falls over and breaks the wires it is no fault of the men who laid them. Nor can the diff culty be avoided until such time as the timber is cut away far enough not to reach the wire in falling. Breaks are always rapidly repaired by the young, active men who are stationed along the route for that purpose. As compared with the Canadian line, which, by the way, was put up by contract labor, the breaks occur far more frequently there than on the Alaska lIne, and it generally takes twice as long to repair them. We speak of this in justice to the ever obliging, self sacrificing and efficient body of men who are attached to the best managed department of the entire American army, namely, the sig nal corps.

drafted a general order to the Grand Army
posts setting aside day for the decora.

order and sent it out officially. In 1868
soldiers graves were decorated in 1872
cemeteries, located in ~ states. In 1850

BIRTH OF DECORATION DAY

WASHINGTON, May 30-Credit FOR
the origin of Memorial Day is claimed by
the women of Columbus, Ca That their
claim may be made clear and their fame
secure. they have published book tell
ing how it was done.
According to this narrative. Miss Lizzie
Rutherford, who had been prominent
member of the Soldiers Aid society of Co.
lumbus during the war, first made the sue.
gestion. In January, 1865, she asked Mrs,
Jane Martin to accompany her to the
cemetery to look after the graves of sol.
diers. On the way home Miss Ruther.
ford suggested to her companion that il
would be a good plan, since the war was
over, to have the Soldiers Aid society or.
ganize as a memorial association, and set
apart a day every year for decorating and
caring for soldiers graves. She said she
had received the inspiration in reading a
pretty story entitled Initials" in which
the writer told of a beautiful custom
among the Germans OF decorating the
graves of their friends on a special day
in the year Mrs. Martin applauded the
idea and urged that it be submitted 20
the other women who had been active In
Miss Rutherford unfolded her scheme
at the next meeting of the aid society. 1t
was given immediate endorsement. The
Ladies Memorial association was organ
lied to provide for the annual strewing
of flowers.
April 26 was chosen as the day. Let
tiers were sent to societies throughout the
south, asking that they join in the observ-
ance of the day. Everywhere the plan
met with favor, and the decorating OF
soldiers graves became an annual custom.
April 20 is the anniversary of the sur
render of Gen. Jos. Z. johnson, The
women said in the record they have writ
ten of their achievement:
