REVISION BY FRIENDS"

Suppose that 40 years ago when
Portland was a small town a law had
been passed that all the people of the
city should each week contribute
few citizens who, it was explained
needed aid in order to establish and
maintain manufacturing industries,
such support to be withdrawn when
these institutions became fairly es-
tablishel and self supporting. saws
the Oregon Journal. Suppose that the
owners of these favored industries
profited greatly, but instead of re-
linquishing these contributions de-
manded heavier ones; that as the pop-
ulation increased the profits Of the
favored few grew to enormous proper
tons, that then, so as to make them
perpetual, they went into politics and
gained control of the city government,
and of the state government. and had
laws passed enforcing even greater
contributions from the people to whom
no appreciable equivalent was re-
turned Suppose that in course of time
these original and other favored peo-
pie and interests effected combinations
among themselves so as to raise the
price of all necessaries and thus plum
der the people at their will. Suppose
that finally, after enduring this for
many years the people should demand
repeal of this old law, or it's modifi-
cation so that they would not have
to pay so much for nothing. or rather
Tor evil purposes against themselves.
and should insist that their false rep
resentatives should give way to men
who would look out for their welfare
rather than that of these possessors
of swollen fortunes.
Then what would they think. what
should they think, if these beneficiaries
of this law and practice, and their
tools, should say: Eyes, we acknowl-
edge at last, since We see that YOU are
so much in earnest that this is a very
bad system: it must be changed only
by its friends. The men who have sun
ported and benefited by this system
all these years understand all about it
and are friendly to it, and therefore it
is they who must be allowed to fix it.
Just leave it to us experienced people.
and beware of malcontents and agita-
tors. We promise to revise the system
, but it would be asking too much to
ask US how. bad, wrong thing, don't
you see, can be only properly changed
by its friends?'
What would people think of such
a proposition, of such a plea? Yet
this is substantially the situation with
respect to the tariff and its revision.
1t is necessarily, in its nature and in
us opCiolioi, SSSleul Vi
rapine," under which the masses are
Systematically and constantly plumb
cred for the enrichment of combined
! interests, and yet when the people de-
| mand a revision the beneficiaries of
| the system and their tools in office say
it must be revised by its friends. That
means no revision for the peoples ben
eft at all, rather the other way. The
| friends and beneficiaries of a wrong
thing are not the ones to right it.

MILL TO START.

The Barker & Stewrrt Lumber Co. s
mill will start in operation next Mon
day morning. The company is receiv-
ing most of its eggs by rail and these
come from Marathon City, on the
Marshfeld branch of the G. & N. w.
Ry, from Bowler on the new Green
Bay branch of the same road and from
along the Gleason branch of the st.
Paul road. The bulk of them will come
off the latter branch. The company ex.
poets to receive from Is 100000 to IL
0OO, 900 feet of hemlock and about 5000
600 feet of hardwood during the season,
which will keep the mill running until
well into September. The company
has sold its slab wood business to Healy
& Brown for another year. During
the past year the Barker & Stewart
company made many improvements
which has materially increased the out
put of the mill. The company has
large holdings of timber lands in the
northeastern part of the county, which
will supply the mill for several years to
come. The starting of the mill next
Monday will give employment to a
great many men who are at present
idle and consequently will aid in liyen-
ing I'D conditions.

GONE TO WILD ROSE.

Adelbert S. Collins has purchased the
Times, at Wild Rose, a growing town
in Waushara county, located on the
G. & N. w. Ry. 1t had reached the
ears of the business men of that town
that there was an available newspaper
man of experience here and they lost
no time in inducing him to locate there,
and the Pilot desires to say that they
acted wisely and timely. Mr.. Collins
came here two years ago to take the
position of managing editor of the
Wausau Daily Record, which he held
until that paper changed hands several
months ago. While on that paper it
was plain to all its readers that he was
a man of exceptional ability as writer
and whenever he was given full sway,
the power Of his pen was felt through
out the community. He is gifted as a
speaker and he was often called to
speak before large gatherings on ques-
tons OF vital interest and was always
equal to tine occasion. With these quail
ifications, coupled with untiring ener-
gy, made him valuable man in the
community, and his proverbial cheer
fulness and kindly disposition won for
him hosts of friends who regret his
departure. Wild Rose and its people
are to be congratulated over the fact
that Mr.. Collins is to make his perma-
nent home there and is to own and
operate its only paper. Mrs. Collins
will go to Wild Rose to reside as soon
as he can get possession of house
in which to live.

B. B. NOTES..

There is some doubt about the Wis
consin-Illinois league being admitted as
a class G organization. Unjust be shown
that the eight cities have combined
population of 100000. AS the national
commission only accepts the last
previous government census as basis,
it is thought that it will require consid-
cradle pressure to carry the move
through.
League officials are meeting in Mil
waukee today for the purpose of review
ing the schedule for the season and
talking over other matters. According
to the schedule Wausau and other
northern cities will open the season
away from home.
1t is expected that the Eau Claire
Rockford controversy will be settled
at the meeting of today Most of the
clubs have enough material gathered
to make up their teams and have quit
signing any more. Wausau's team is
not fully made up as yet and Manager
Ferguson is still casting about for play
ers. What he is doing is not definitely
Known. The directors are getting
more signed contracts every week and
there is no doubt but what when MIR.
Ferguson assemblies his players early
next month he will have some strong
material to pick from.
Manager Ferguson has purchased of
the Memphis team of the Tri-State
league a shortstop of the name OF
Buemiller who is said to be fast man

RAILROAD EXTENSION

For several days past the Wausau
Street Railroad Co. has been employing
crew in hauling rails and ties to Scho-
field, to be distributed along the line of
| AN extension to be built south from that
village. One method of hauling ties
has been to hook sort of nat Car be-
hind one of the trolly cars and load
this up with ties.
The company recently circulated a
petition among Schofield residents to
get an expression of opinion regarding
the extension of the line south of the
village limits. Nearly every one signed
it. rs franchise had already been
granted giving the company the right
of-way through the town of Weston it
was deemed to be for the best interests
OF the company and public to not stop at
the southern limits of the village, but to
extend the tracks to Rothchilds.
The company will begin grading as
soon as frost is out of the ground and
as the one and one-third miles of track
to be built will pass over very level
territory where very little grading will
be necessary, it is thought the extension
can be completed somewhere between
the middle of May and the first of June.
The company has placed an order for a
number of large cars of the two-truck
interurban type and it is expected that
these will be shipped here in time to be
put into service when the road is COM
pleted.
In addition to this extension the COM
pany cOntemplates other work. 1t is
the intention to further improve the
beauty of the Rothchilds park and to
build several buildings including a
large dancing pavilion, restaurant,
dressing room, rest rooms for ladies,
etc. The grounds will be lighted by
night with arc lights, policemen will
patrol the grounds to keep order and
the convenience of the public will be
looked after in detail The grounds
will be free to everyone, the company's
profit coming in on fares back and
forth and from the sale of refreshments.
This plan is followed in other local.
ties. In nearly every instance where
you find so-called White City
located in the suberbs it is owned by a
street car company. While there is lit
tie doubt about the patronage the CON-
pany will get from this extension and
service and the profits it will make,
still 1t will be great convenience to
the public and to picnic parties in
particular. 1t will be to the advantage
OF the busy man, who can't afford to
leave his business during the day.
With this service he Can take his family
during the heated evenings of summer,
go down to this resort, eat his supper
and spend the evening. The company
has also under consideration plans to
arrange for concerts, a chautauqua,
and other amusements.
The grounds are well shaded along
the slope of the hill, while from the hill
to the river is a level plane, affording
base ball grounds, driveways, etc. A
creek flows through the grounds. With
little work fine park can be made
of it,

1908, at 615 o'clock, Mrs. o. H. Amun.
son died very suddenly while in Chica-
| go. The sad news was received by her
mother, in this city, shortly afterwards,

when she departed from home that
there was anything unusual in her con-
dition.
Mrs. Amunson had been a resident of
w duSou iOl LWOACJ -ufC JOdiot COlhihS

FAILED TO GET HERE.

The lecture which was to have been
given by l.. b. Wickersham in the M.
E. church on Wednesday evening, un-
der the auspices of the Popular Lyceum
committee, had to be postponed be-
cause Mr.. Wickersham was unable to

The telegram to which he refers in his
letter, never came and the committee
was unable to make an announcement
previous to the lecture. The letter is

POPULAR LYCEUM COMMITTEE,
DEAR SIRs:
regret very much that the connec-
tons were such as to make it impos-
sible for me 10 reach your place for
this eve. The bureau directed me to
drive eighteen miles to get late train,
but L could not get liveryman to un-
dertake it, so hired a haad-car and then
missed it. Hope you received my mes
sage by wire In time to save the people
from assembling. do not know when,
if at ali, this season could FL the date
as the near future seems to be full.
However, if you prefer to have me come
later on, think such an arrangement
could be made. Always feel badly to
disappoint any committee and commun-
ity of people by not being able to be
present. Only one worse thing could
come to you as 3 committee and thai
would be to have the people as well as
yourself wish that l had not come in
case hid been there and failed.
trust you may be able to tide over it y
K. and get good substitute that viii
make you the gamers.
Most cordially yours,

MAUD DARLINGTON BOOTH.

The fifth and concluding number OF
the Y NJ C.. A. entertainment course
will be given in the opera house next
Friday evening, when Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth will appear before a
Wausau audience for the first time.
Mrs. Booth is one of the best woman
speakers in the land. Her subject will
probably deal with phases of prison life,
in which she is greatly interested.
Mrs. Booth commands The highest
price ever paid woman lecturer in
this country, and the money thus earned
goes to support her two Hope Halls,
homes for paroled and discharged
prisoners. This is her only reason for
coming before the public, and the
public has been most willing to hear
her and to help her cause. She has
drawn the largest audiences of any
lecturer in America.
