WAR SCARS HEALING

He would have been regarded bold
prophet who ten years ago predicted
that United States regulars would
take part in dedicatiDg confederate
monument, but on August 81, this was
done and the newspapers are protest.
ing, but their reasons for doing so are
thin. That was monument to the
dead, not the living, and did not
glOrify the cause for which they
struggled. The dead are no more nor
can they assail the Union or its flag.
They we're brave but mistaken men
SO sincere as to lay down their lives,
for their faith. Later their cause was
lost, and the conquered banner was
furled to lead the hosts on bloody
fields no more. Little by little war
scars have healed, and in our later
war with Spain the sons of Conferates
fought side by side with sons of Union
soldiers for the old flag.
Join in the dedication of mOnu-
ments to the dead, and fraternize in
the widest manner with the living,
but utter no word nor thought that
intimates the war for the Union was
a mistake.

JAPANESE ARE CONFIDENT

Whatever the world may think the
result of the eastern war will be, it IS
apparent that the japanese themselves
have no doubts as to their ultimate
success. Their absolute confidence
is hardly less remarkable than their
machine like precision. They do not
predict victories, but win them and
the victories are earned, noe merely
luck. Good fortune may help, but in
war as in other affairs of life one
ounce Of thorough preparation is
better than a ton of luck.
While the army is sweeping on to
victory after victory, the japanese are
as busily engaged in the rear in the
important work OF reconstruction.
Almost before the smoke of battle
has faded away the repairing of the
damage begins, the rehabilitation of
commerce is begun, productive
industry is resumed. Two days after
the occupation of New Chwang that
port was opened to the trade of the
world, as though the war were but a
passing incident. This was not due
to accident nor to sudden impulse, but
to the fact that the Japanese were
prepared on an elaborate scale for
this very thing. Now more picture.
sque instance of forehandedneSS is
brought to light. Even while the
fortresses of Port Arthur remain
untaken, and the surrounding
country roars with the thunder OF
contending guns, officials in Toxic
have made ready for the inevitable
result. It is announced that as soon
as the city falls the running of regu
lar trains between Port Arthur anC
New Chwang will be resumed
Schedules have been prepared. ar
operating force has been selected
and tickets have actually beer
printed. Is it any wonder thai
Russian .mediaevalism falls bacl
before the onslaught of such people.

COUNTY POLITICS

Assembled in various conventions
at various times in various places the
Republican party has, with words OF
varying strength, pledged itself to
creation of a system of direct nomi
nations. The paramount issue, the
one issue before Republicans, before
the whole people of Wisconsin. is
whether or not the party in the next
legislature will redeem these solemn
pledges and promises.
| We OF Wood county must do more
than await the assembling of tie
next legislature to ascertain the
redemption value of these pledges and
promises. We have part to play in
the creation of the next legislative
assembly: we have voice in the
personnel OF our law making body:
we have power to say who shall ex-
press for Wood county it's wishes,
desires and purposes. We then must
with certain tone and positive action
voice and accent our desires, we must
act our part, must use our powers.
The gist of the whole matter lies q
who shall represent Wood county in
the next legislature. In the opinion
of the persons best informed this
county stands unqualified for system
of nominations. To do our part in
redeeming party pledges we must
make it our business to see to it that
the man who represents Wood county
in the legislature this year himself
thinks we'll OF primary reform. We must
see to it direct that nominations is a
part of the creed, one of the articles
of faith Of our representative, that he
believes in it vitality and all the time
as one of the fundamentals of a good
government, in short our representa-
tive must be man who of his own
conviction feels, thinks and believes
that the right to make the ballot is
as sacred as the right to cast it, that
inSeparable elements in suffrage and
should be protected in every way to
secure the direct will of the citizen.
The sentiment of Wood county is
so strong and 50 plain on the subject
of direct nomination that likely any
representative of ours to the legis-
lature at Madison would hesitate to
vote against primary reform. What
we want, however, is a representative
aggresSively favorable to direct nomi-
nations rather than who dareS not be
against it. An active, aggressive
force always is superior to a passive
or negative force and we want deeds
for primary reform rather than moth
ing done against it. We do not ask
that any man or candidate change
his belief or alter his opinion in order
to represent Wood county in the
Legislature. The candidate we want,
the candidate the whole of Wood
county wants, is the man who long
ago expressed his convictions, whose
opinions are known, whose position
is and has been certain, whose
actions are and will be sure. To find
such candidate, to nominate and
to elect him is the paramount issue
in Wood county,

A LETTER FROM ENGLAND
August %.

TO The EDITOR OF The REPORTER:-
| have just heard an American lady
say that England is a beautiful
country. 1t was her first visit over
here and after two months travel she
was ready to speak this word of ad-
miring appreciation. After seven
years absence it has lost none of its
charms, it looks BONNER than ever
fresh, sweet and verdant. The rains
which sometimes trouble the farmer
wash and keep everything clean, even
the clouds which so often obscure the
sun and prevent monotoIy Of light,
suddenly gathering, fieeting, ever
changing their form they nevertheless
attract attention. The people grow
into the habit of looking upward.
Cloud-study is common, and if it does
not always lead to higher reflections
it certainly saves from too much
cropping on the lower levels of the
world. The oft recurring contrast of
light and shade beget a greater ap-
probation of sunshine. It is good to
see the people enjoy fine day and be
thankful for it.
Beauty and Business.
No one going through the country
with observant eye can miss
the impression that it exists for
beauty as we'll as business. The love
of the beautiful is large part Of an
English mans enjoyment, while it is
true there is pleasure-seeking which
does not rise to this height, yet you
find very generally, even among the
poorest this delight in beautiful
things, you see it as you pass their
humble homes in the villages, their
gardens are luxury, their cultivation
one of the pureSt pleasures of life, 1
have known working men with the
artists eye and have been surprised
at their wonderful insight of what is
fine in nature.
Money Making Not All.
Commercial and practical as the
English people are yet there is
refusal to be wholly absorbed in
money-making. The working man
will have his holidays and pleasures,
and il he does not make the best use
Of them they save him. There are
weekend trips all through the
country into lovely scenery. These
trains are always crowded. | have met
him in the woods, walking through
the romantic daleS, over the fields and
by the river sides, all this is educative
and elevating There is something in
the nature Of these men to which the
Christian Teacher can appeal and find
a response to higher truths. Among
business and professional men l have
found more definite purpose in this
refusal to be engrossed by their daily
work. They often asked men, "What is
the good of all your American hustle,
how do your business men find time
to read-to think and enjoy life?" was
the repeated question. Again and
again they assured me they would
never sacrifice these higher and finer
pleasures to run the feveriSh race for
wealth. 1t is good to talk to these
men, they are occupied in their leisure
time with some of the greater queS-
tions of life and can talk intelligently
on them.

Church Attendance.

The lessened church attendance
is not a sign of religious indif-
ference. 1 met d gentlemen who
has a wide and accurate knowledge of
the condition of the country and he
asserted there was as much real
religion outside the churches as
inside. There are other aspects of the
is intemperance, the worst enemy
England has, there is pitiful ignOr.

old class divisions, slowneSs and con
Servatism, and with reformerS the

England is in the midst OF prob.
lens of which America is scarcely
yet conscious. The people are face to
face with industrial and social ques-
tions and their future depends on the
right answer to them. There is much
agnoSticism and pessimism, the old
dOgmaS have been left behind. Many
of the churches are out Of touch with
the life and needs of the people.
was surprised to find great change
in the church-gUing habit during the
seven years l have been away. Many
OF the people no longer 60 because OF
custom, only those ministers who are
thoroughly modern in spirit and who
deal with the urgent questions of the
day get large congregations, other
churches are half empty and some
worse than that. My friend RhOndda
Williams has regular congregation
of one thousand and six hundred
people. When he lectured on Hacket's
| "Riddle of the Universe" the SER
| vices had to be held in the largest
| public building IN the city where he
had an audience of three to four
| thousand people. 1t is the same with
my friend DR.. Anderson, of Dundee
his church will seat one thousand
four hundred people and is crowded.
Many wish to have pews but cannot
secure them. These men and Others
who preach on vital questions always
have full churches. The people are
eagerly looking for light and guidance
and go to hear these modern prophet!
the men of clear vision with bright
outlook, with hopeful interpretations
of life.
