Louise Tetzner, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Tetzuer, had her
eye quite badly injured this week
and it was thought for time that
she might loose her sight, She was
watching a fellow splitting wood
when piece of the axe broke of
and struck her in the eye. She was
taken to the hospital at Ashland and
is now getting along nicely.
Monroe Sprague transacted busi-
ness at Wilson Island during the
week.
Nels Nelson and Ole Aune have
returned from St. Paul where they
went as delegates to the grand
lodge OF the l. S. w. A. They made
hard effort to land the conventi tion
for Washburn for 1909 and would
undoubtedly have succeeded if the
Superior delegation had stuck by
their promise. Lacrosse was chosen
as the next meeting place.
Frank Beers has rented the Spears
residence and will move into same
some time next week.
Miss Matte Hoff1and of Viroqua,
arrived in the city Monday evening

An Important Amendment.

One Of the most important
questions which the voters of
this state will have to consider
this fall is an amendment to the
state constitution. This amend
ment is very brief one which
gives the state power to spend
state money in building roads.
Wisconsin is about the last
progressive state in the Union
to consider this plan of state aid.
All the states about us are work
ing under this system and are
building many miles of improved
roads.
Many persons who are un-
familiar with the plan seem to
fear that this is a scheme to
comp pei farmers to build good
roads whether they want to or
not, but it is no such thing. 1t
is a plan under which any town
can get aid from the state after
it has, Of It's Own Free Will,
voted to improve it's roads. I'm
der this plan the farmers pay
a part of the cost and everyone
who pays state taxes-farmers,
city people and railroads-help to
pay the rest. Most of the state
revenues are from corporations
that pay no local taxes, which,
although they are benefited by
the prosperity that good roads
bring. cannot in any other way
be called on to pay for a part of
the cost.
Dean Russell of the Agricul-
tural College of the State Uni
versity makes the following
statement regarding this amend
ment:
"rhere is probably no tax laid
upon the farmers of our state
which is heavier than that i'm
posed by poor roads, and mas
much as it is within their power
to relieve themselves from this
discrimination it would seem
that all. and especially the agri-
cultural classes, would recognize
the Advantages in passing con-
stitutional amendment which
will permit of state aid for the
good roads movem ent in Wiscon-

THAT WILLIAM }. BRYAN will be the next President of the Unit
ed States is the belief of Independent voters throughout the country,
and his election is all but conceded by the Republican campaign man
ayers. In fact, Chairman Hitchcocks figures practically admit the defeat
of Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. TAFT appears tt have Is much trouble explaining his injunc-
tons Is Roosevelt has explaining why he would accept campaign contr-
buttons from corporations but wouldn't tell the voters about it until after

THE CREAM SEPARATOR SPEECH

IN ONE Of his speeches In Missouri recently, Mr. Bryan referred to
an item that appeared in the papers that morning, regarding a threat
made by a Pennsylvania manufacturer Of cream separators. Mr. Bryan
said: lg ss4# sm~ar rr-r~#ar
"A press dispatch announces this morning thai a Pennsylvania man
ufacturer of cream separators has given notice to his employees that the
factory will close down for a extended period If am elected. This
Is the most discouraging threat that have yet read. had supposed
that the cows would go on giving milk under a Democratic administra-
ton a s well as under a Republican administration, but if as a result of
my election the cows are going to dry up in November and not become
fresh again for four years, it will really be a serious matter.
There must be some mistake about this separator business. The
man may be manufacturing the separator that the Republican Party
has been using, or 1t has been using a separator that as separated tn
cream from the milk and it has given the cream to the monopoles and
the skinned milk tot the rest of the people. That kind Of a separator
will not longer be used and those who manufacture it may find their &C.
cupauon gone, but for the resto Of the people it will be a glad day, a
day OF grea rejoicing"

NOTHING " PEOPLE

FOLLOWING is extract from Walter Welmans dispatch four
days prior to the Denver convention. which dispatch was printed in the
Chicago RecordHerald:
There remains nothing for the men from Wall Street and from the
interests 10 do but make as graceful a surrender al possible. And dur
Ing the next few days much of the W will pertain to the manner
and method of this inevitable bowling of the knee by putocracy to the
plowboy of the Platte. Here ar the heroics, here is the drama OF the
hour. A nal has conquered Mammon. A man, with nothing but TIT
people behind him. No American should be ashamed hat it is So"
ROOSEVELT has o than met his match in Bryan, n knowing
that, he is evading the isues of the campaign. He does not wish to talk
about the Democratic and Republican platforms of 1908, but about other
things. II Roosevelt and Taft don't like their platform, why didn't they
have a better n made at Chicago?
HOW DID IT HAPPEN that Roosevelt had the Taft letter of 1907
about Foraker? Does Roosevelt take charge of the Taft correspondence
Is weel a of the Taft candidacy? Would Bryan permit any President to
be the custodian Of his letters? Does Taft have to show all of his let
ters.t L Roosevelt before he mails them? Can't Taft go to bed without
getting permission from Roosevelt? 4 g.

A SUMMER FRIENDSHIP.
BY MARGERY DOOM.

MY Dear Miss Doom:
Last summer while at the country 7
met a young man, whom | love very
much, and I think he cared for me. as
he paid no attention to other girls. hut
took me around a great deal. Then be-
fore he left he asked me whether he
could come to see me vine 1 returned
to the city, as he lives in New York. so
l said yes" and he came over quite a
few times and seemed glad to see me
every time. Last December 1 wrote
him a letter asking him over and re-
ceived no answer, so l wrote another.
thinking he didn't receive it, and only
until last week he sent me a letter, not
mentioning a thing about it. Would
you advise me to answer or not, as he
writes as If he certainly expects to
have good times in my company this
summer in the country. He asked me
to answer his letter soon.
PERPLEXED AND UNDECIDED.
There is a possibility that he did not
receive the notes he did not answer.
would reply to his latest letter and tell
him that l had written before, If l were
YOU. Let him know that you do not
care to overlook the matter if he mere
ly failed to answer through careless
ness. His next letter will probably ex-
plain whether or not he received them.
