SUBSCRIPTION 81. 90 A YEAR in ADVANC
Thursday, November 20 1906.

A commendable action taken by the
village board of Nekoosa is that pro-
viding for the punishment of owners
who shall leave their horses tied out
in the cold without protection. 1t is
proposed to limit the time horse may
be left standing without a blanket
over him to one hour and to authorize
the village marshal to put all horses
SO found in barn and care for them,
charging the expense to the owner.
Any man SO brutal or so thoughtless
as to fall into the clutches of the law
for permitting his horse to freeze
should count himself lucky if he es
capes with such reasonable punish
ment as that provided here.-State

The appointment of Attorney B.
X. Goggins as supervisor in the Eighth
ward, Grand Rapids, to succeed Mr..
Ellis, who resigned, proved a very
fortunate thing for that city, for to
him, more than any other one man
belongs the credit for the county
boards decision to build and equip a
teachers training school at Grand
Rapids. Mr.. Goggins' arguments in
favor Of permanently establishing the
institution had great influence with
the members of the board and time
will fully demonstrate the wisdom of
that body in taking favorable action

no more be diverted to other uses than
those for which it was instituted than
should the day set aside for the worship
of God. Congress in making it a holiday
did so for specific purpose, and for any
one receiving pay from the government for
that day, and engaging in pursuits other
than those for which the day is set apart,
is as guilty as though he had diverted the
money placed in his hands for a specified
purpose to other uses than that for which
it was intended and should be punished
accordingly. The objects and purposes of
Memorial day are, first to pay fitting
tribute to the nations dead, and secondly
to teach the lessons of patriotism and love
of country that are coincident with it's
proper observance
Custom of Nations.
elm all ages of the world II has been Gus
tomary for nations to erect memorials to
those of its citizens who have rendered
distinguished services to their country.
These men whose graves we decorate to-
day are the men. who In the dark days of
our nations peril. Iald their lives on the
altar of their country, to the end that the
cause of free government might not perish
from the earth. This is the memorial that
we have erected to the memory of our
comrades gone before, and We design to
make 1t more enduring than any monument
of wood or brass or stone that the inge-
puity of man can fashion. We realize that
soon we must surrender into other hands
this sacred duty. On whose shoulders will
our mantle fall? Who will take up this
work when we lay It down? It must needs
be some great organization imbued with
the same spirit which animates the Grand
Army of the Republic
