Practice Should Cease.

Postmaster Eberle desires to call at
tention to the practice of some patrons
of rural delivery of placing loose coins
in their boxes each time they desire to
dispatch letters instead of supplying
themselves with postage in advance of
their needs.
This practice imposes undue hardship
on rural carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on the
service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons Of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand a
supply of stamps consistent with and in
advance of their needs. 1t is also very
desirable that rural patrons place in
in their mail boxes small detachable
cups Of wood or tin in which to place
coins, when necessary, in purchasing
supplies of stamps.

Secretary-Fred Wittenwyler.

pointed as a committee on resolutions:
E. F. Wieman, DR.. A. H. Hartwig
and W. F. Gruetzmacher. After a
recess of ten minutes the committee
presented the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
Believing that the Hon. Robert
M. La Toilette has shown throughout
his political lite, that he represents
and stands for the interests of the
people, and approaches nearer to being
the peoples ideal candidate for the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States, than any
other, and realizing that he, better
than any other Will be, is better fitted
to carry forward, successfully, the
reforms promulgated and championed
by President Roosevelt, we, do hereby
associate ourselves into an organic
alton to be called the "La Foelltte
Presidential club of WATERFOWL,
Wis, and do hereby pledge ourselves
collectively and severally to exercise
all honorable means In his behalf as
such candidate for president and TO
secure him solid delegation from
this state, to the national convention
to be held IN the city of Chicago,

The club starts out with member
ship of twenty two. The next meet
ing was left to the call of the officers.

rest much of responsibility for future
conditions.
1t Is to the younger men and women
that | wish to appeal because 1t is upon
them that the main burden of civic
responsibility rests. They should be
vitality interested in every problem
that affects the life of the community
as we'll as of the state and nation.
Their responsibility is greater than
that of their fathers. More is ex
pected of them and greater demands
are made upon them. and unless they
respond in the fullness of patriotism
and strength they will occupy but a
small place IN the great future.
In your own immediate locality you
cannot fail to observe the many who
take no interest in contemporary
affairs. These people have no interest
10 those activities which do not i'm
mediately affect their personal affairs
and they seem to have no conception
of the Importance which attaches to
every measure Uf government which
IS passed. They do not realize the
indirect affect which all legislation
has upon them and upon their families
They protest against the raising of
taxes, state and local, but fail to see
that their own indifference is the
fault. When legislation, local or
state, imposes taxes, it IS poor time
to protest after the taxes are imposed
The sentiment that keeps in touch
with public affairs gives consideration
to these and all other problems before
1T is TOO late, by demanding careful
attention to the details of government.
In all these movements. the young
man has his undounted place. He is
mure in demand. more in the con-
tidence of the average voter than he
has ever been in the past. For leader
ship, in politics. as we'll as COM
mercial and Industrial undertaking,
the young man of today partakes of
the progressiveness of the age Better
government, better civic and moral
life is demanded and the call for
vigorous manhood is apparent.
IN every effort that Seeks the bet
terment of humanity, in every process
affecting life and its duties and
obligations there is interdependence.
No man or woman can stand aoof
from their fellows and deny RESPONSE
bility tor the good morals or better
political and civic life Of their COM
munIty. Healthy and wholesome
public sentiment is dependent upon
the efforts Of individuals, and this
sentiment when directed for the good
OF the citizen, for the good of the
community or state, is better than law
unenforced and assertlve. Public
senti nent makes law.

of general sentiment.
/ could give no end Of instances,
where some of the best and nobiest
men and women | nave ever known,
have utterly failed, because of their
remoteness from actual conditions of
life. The preacher. however high he
fixes his desires for the attainment of
good. however active he may be as an
instrument seeking the up-lift of
humanity through secular methods,
finds himself in an unfamiliar field.
Conscientiously he strives to overcome
the preJudices of the community as
applied to particular efforts, but
wakes up at last to the conviction
that he must act through individual
effort if he is TO succeed. Even in
the undoubted direction of right, of
better morality, of higher civic life,
he finds himself puwerless to bring his
congregation, as mass, up Go his
lveel in inspirations or to his impel-
ling force In activity. The fitful
interest of people outside of the
church is sought for. but the preacher
finds that he has lived away from
situations, is remote and aloof in his
clerical capacity, to meet and cope
with the sUIdidness of conflicting and
mercenary personal interest.

are sustained in the beliefs of the
