Taft Greatest Need.

Mr.. Taft insists that as the heir to
the Roosevelt policies it is necessary
to elect him to the office of president
to insure return of prosperity.
Mr.. Taft is not convincing in the rule
of the advance agent of prosperity. He
reminds one of the spurious count in
the comic opera.
If as Roosevelts heir Taft would be
able to restore prosperity, how is il
that Roosevelt was unable to prevent
the panic?
AS Mr.. Roosevelt's heir, Mr.. Taft OF
necessity inherits the panic and indus.
trial collapse.
And if he is second Roosevelt, the
conclusion is unacceptable that as a
prosperity maker he is no good.
The Roosevelt hOcus pocus, which
has beenwilled to Taft, has failed to
work.
Now, if we are to believe Mr. Taft, the
next president will be depended upon
to restore prosperity.
velt,s policies? They have been tried
and we have had panic and industrial
disaster.
So there is no efficacy in ROOSEVELT
policies He may have scared Harri-
man and he may have caused Rookie
Teller to tremble, but he didn't keep the
dinner pail full
How, then, is Taft goisg to accom-
plish with Roosevelts policies what
Roosevelt himself so signally has failed
to do?
AS the Roosevelt heir he has inherited
a panic and is without any prosperity
creating devices of his own.
What Taft needs, as has been urged
before, is new bag of Milwau
| kee News.

Indiana rs. 900 For Bryan.

Democratic leaders at national head
quarters at the Auditorium Annex were
interested yesterday in few scattered
special Legislative elections in Indiana.
They were made necessary by reason
of a call for special session of the leg
islature, and according to advices re-
ceived by Johu E Lambs, vice chairman
of the Democratic executive committee,
the party made gains that led to the
prediction at headquarters that Bryan
will carry Indiana by from $4,000 to
$4,000 plurality.
In the Muncie district the Democrats
cut down a big Republican majority to
27S, in the Jasper county district the
Democratic candidate was elected by
800 majority, a democratic gain of l, 200,
.sc-hs..ie in the Crawford county district
the party gaiRed 500 votes
AT this ratio of gain we will carry the
state by so 000to IS 600 for Bryan" said

VIM. FL. RYAN, representing the 35th
congressional district Of New York, is
of the opinion that New York state
will go to Bryan, and said at Appleton,
Wis, last Saturday:
THE outlook for democratic victory
in New York state and the east is very
bright Organized labor will support
Mr.. Bryan this year and organized
labor is very important factor in the
state.
heretofore the republicans have
claimed that Industrial and financial
depressiOns have been caused by demo
cratic success and in the east we have
had those conditions to an alarming ex-
tent, although the republican PARTY is
entrenched In power not only in the
national, butin the state government
Mr. Bryan is very popular in west
ern New York, and Buffalo being the
home city of Norman E Mack, chair
man OF the democratic national com,
mlttee, very much increased vote
will be given to the democratic candi-
date for president. While Buffalo is
normally republican city by 10000
majority, we feel certain Mr. Bryan
will carry it this year.
"Che democrats of New York have
just nominated a very strong state
ticket. The present lieutenant COVER
nor, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, has
been named for governor. He carried
the state two years ago by from IL, 00O
to 10000.
In speaking of the denomination of
Gov. Hughes by the republicans OF
New York, Mr.. Ryan said: 1.-The Per.
sonal Liberty league, with large mem.
bership, composed of men of all politi-
cal shades, is violently. opposed to him.
Millions of dollars are invested in race
tracks in New York, where hundreds
of thousands congregate to witness the
races. This class of people is one and
all opposed to Hughes because of his
anti-racing law

IT is for the interest Of every voter to

1T is for the interest Of every voter to
favor the guaranteeing of bank deposits.
1T will make one bank as safe as
another" says the republican penny-a-
liner. Of course it will, and that is
what the people want. A law guaran-
teeiug bank deposits will make every
dollar deposited in a national bank
absolutely safe. Such law will bring
money out from its hiding places, it
will prove one of the most potent levers
against panics ever known. 1t is the
best plank for the people that has
been placed in a party platform for
many years, and will elect William
Jennings Bryan president of the United
States. Of course, Taft and the repub-
ican party are against it, because the
System" is against it, it would dis
tribute the money to the uttermost
parts of our country and benefit every
body. The System" would rather
have postal savings banks, where The
money could go into the government
and the politicians have it loaned out
to the banks of the larger cities.

ATHENS FAIR.

Among those who attended the
Athens fair Saturday were M. III. Dun
can, Pat German and son. Edward,
Alfred Zimmerman, DR.. Bellin, w. r.
Chellis, +. f. Damon, A. A. Book and
John King of this city and j. j. Bean of
the town of Flieth.
In conversation with the county
officers we learn that the fair was a
most pronounced success in every
detail, and a revelation to visitors. 1t
was duplicate of county fair only on
smaller scale. The fair was held on
the market square and was free to all.
The streets were jammed with one
mass of people and everyone seemed
enthusiastic over the success of the
event. There were upwards of 100
head of cattle, mostly of the Guernsey
type on exhibition and every species of
vegetable and farm and dairy product
could be seen. The Athens people
even went so far as to provide special
attractions. The Wausau people say
that it seems almost increditable that
so small place could get up such an
agricultural show, following so closely
on the heels of the county fair Liberal
premiums were given, the money being
donated by the merchants. One farmer
got SIS for having the prettiest baby in
attendance. The fair was of help to
the farmers and villagers alike and
such events would prove profitable
to the people of Edgar, Marathon City
and Mosinee were they to work up the
enthusiasm that the Athens people do
While all the merchants of Athens
reaped benefits liz the way of sales, the
Wausau people noted one thing: No
merchant, hotel keeper or other bust
ness man appeared to be jealous of
what his neighbor was doing The
villagers are like one big family.

LINCOLN SCHOOL NOTES.

After long and enjoyable vacation,

This year the Lincoln school gives

The smoke which still pervades the

our school work. 1t is very annoying
to the pupil at his study.

THE MAYORS REPLY.

Last Thursday evening the Record
Herald published what was purported
to be a speech made by Alderman
Ellenbecker, in which he reflected upon
the present administration. The speech
was published upon the instigation of
Mr.. Ellenbecker, though Mayor
Lamont states that the speech as pub
llshed was not made and the Record
Herald had reporters present and there
fore knew the statements were untrue.
Mayor Lamont replied to the state
ments IN very vigorous manner, and
completely riddled them. The follow
ing is the most important part of the
Mayors reply:
Mr.. Ellenbecker is reported to have
said that ST, 900 90 was raised last win
ter 10 build sewers-the Fourth avenue
sewer included. That he had attended
every meeting OF the council since and
| that he knew no transfer of this money.
That the money had been spent to fix
up streets in new addition and place
| electric lights where there is not a
house TO" blocks, for the purpose of
| helping agents sell their lots.n
Mr. Ellenbecker made no such state
ment to the council. He knows that
| the entire statement is untrue The
| finance committee in recommending
the amount to be raised for the general
| fund last year included an item of
| $1,000 90 for sewers. No statement was
made by them as to why they wanted
$1,000 90 for sewers. When the taxes
were collected last winter this amount
went into the general fund of the city
and the last administration expended
all of that general fund including the
| $1,000 90 sewer money and S14, 900 OF
borrowed money besides before | went
into office. Now the question is not
what did do with the 81 900 90 sewer
money? but Mr.. Ellenbecker, what did
you do with the money? You were a
part of the last administration. If you
attended the council meetings you
should know, especially if this sewer
was your particular care.
There is not now and there has not
been since | have held the office OF
mayor single cent in the treasury OF
/ the city to apply on this sewer All oil
the last tax levy and S14 900 90 besides
were expended before we went into
office.
/ have no desire to discuss the matter
of placing electric lights further than
to say that no such lights were placed
The only lights placed have been or
petition and only where absolutely
necessary. If my memory serves me
right, and l think it does, Mr.. Ellen
becker voted ''yes" on every light
placed this year.
Finally we cannot build IA S., 900 sewer
on promises. We must have the money
| have many times said that this sewer
was needed and should be built | say
it now Mr.. Ellenbecker is reported tC
have said 1T would be outrageous tC
again call upon the taxpayers to pay
for this sewer" That is what think
and | will not consent to loading thi:
years tax roll for this purpose. Time!
are not good and people are hard NJ
and shall not add one cent of unnec
cessary expense to the tax burden of thi'
year.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

During the past week lot of fine
material for foot ball team has been
out for practice. The first scrimmage
was Friday night.
An alumni game had been scheduled
for Saturday but was postponed as the
team was not in condition for a game.
Instead the first aud second teams had
scrimmage. A couple of alumni filled
in places in the second team as there
were not enough high school men out
The day was pretty hot for foot ball
and it was very dusty, and con-
sequently the game was rather slow.
The first team scored 10 to the seconds
5. The first team made touch down
in the first few minutes of play on a
tumble. No attempt was made to kick
goal by either team. The line up was:

Exploits Guaranty Law

The failure of the Schultz bank in
Hopedale, ILL.,, gave Governor Haskell,
of Oklahoma, an opportunity to exploit
the Oklahoma bank guaranty law. The
governor sent letter to H. M. Frosbe,
Mayor of Hopedale, that ran:
Your community has my sympathy
for recent failure of the Schultz bank
and the loss of depositors. Had the
Oklahoma banking law been in force in
Illinois the depositors could have been
paid within twenty-four hours, if they
had been willing to take time to come
for their money, promptly. We rec
ommend our banking law for early
future adoption and that you pay no
attention to the statements about
wildcat banking, and use of our school
funds to making a good showing.
There is no truth in any of those state
ments. The law carefully regulates
the bank and protects the depositors.
