Help the Poor Children

An effort will be made in Water
town to provide for a short stay here
of the Fresh Air children of Chicago,
the time of their stay to be from
August II to August 81, a period of
two weeks. This will give many
poor children of Chicago an oppor-
tunity to breathe the pure country
air and partake of wholesome food as
a change from the heat and crowded
places of the big city.
The Epworth League of the M. E..
church will have charge of the work
at this end of the line and all who de-
sire to house and feed these worthy
little folks for a brief period will
kindly notify Mrs. w. S. Williams,
112 North Monroe street, phone
1887, or Mrs. M. L. Eversz, 400 Sixth
street, phone 1876. Any one not able
to take children but-desiring to aid
with money will greatly help the
cause by informing either of the
above mentioned ladies.
The object is a worthy one as may
be recalled by an incident several
weeks ago at an outing Of children
when some of them tasted real fresh
cows milk for the first time in their
childhood days. The green fields up
on which they may feast their eyes
and living nature only to be seen in
the country will be of benefit both
mentally and physically

State Horticultural Society

The summer meeting of the State HW-
ticultural society to be held in Ocono-
mowoe, August 18th, promises to be of
unusual interest to many besides the
prof essional hOrticulturist. Back to
the Land'' is the main topic and several
we'll known Wisconsin people including
C. B. Whitnall, city treasurer of Milwau-
kee; Ernest Gonzenbach, president of the
Sheboygan Light & Power Co., are on
the program for addresses. Lest these
men, city bred with longing for the
fruits of toll should paint the joys of life
on fruit farm in too bright colors, Sec
retary Cranefeld has arranged for dis
cussions by practical fruit men who will
show the other side of the picture.
A general invitation is issued to every
one to attend the meeting. In addition
to the papers and discussions on 'The
Possibilities for Clty-Bred Man in
Fruit Raising" A Gardening session
will be held when cultural problems Will
be discussed.

GOllmdr Brothers Shows

The Gollmar Brothers Shows have COM
pleted all arrangements to exhibit at
WatertoWn, Wis, Friday, August 5, 1910.
The GOllmar Brothers Circus has ad-
yanced rapidly during recent years, un-
til it has reached the front rank of tent
ed enterprises, and is one of the biggest
on the road. 1t advertises great num-
Der Of features, and judging from the
comments of the press and others who
have seen it, the G0llmar Brothers circus
produces all it adyertises. With the
Gollmar's from six to eight acts are to
be seen at one time in the rings, hippo
drome tracks, on the stage and in mid
air. The management Of show the
size of Gollmar Brothers does not expect
the people to be able to watch all OF the
many features. but they arrange to have
several acts of various kinds at the same
time, SO that the spectator may take his
choice and enjoy those that he admires
most. Peoples tastes differ, it is neces-
sary for circus the size of the Gollmar
Bros. to be cosmopolitan in character, in
order that all may be pleased, and those
who have seen it know that it pleases
and satisfies the most critical.

Fool, or PhildnthropiSt, Which

What would you think of man that
borrowed $1,000 and then told the party
from whom he borrowed it, if he would
let him hold the note AS security. he
would give him back the money and
give him interest on it whenever it came
due as long as the note had TO run? He
could not be fool, but he might be
philanthrophist.
Then it follows, that this government
must be philanthropist. When it bor-
rows few million dollars on its notes
government bonds) then repay them by
bonds deposited with the Secretary OF
Treasury by some national bank, he will
issue to them the face value OF the bones
in bank notes and send them the inter
est on the bonds every 80 days until ma
turity and in twenty years the govern
ment has paid the face of the bonds and
the bank notes are gift.

Communication

Editor Leader:-And again somebody
is running about town asking the people
to sign petition and such an unjust
one, at that. Many Of us sign petitions
so as not to be bothered too much. This
is both careless and wrong.
Moreover, when some one again has
the gall to get us to subscribe to free
cold biOoded murderer-sO branded by
the jury, by the supreme court and the
governor of the state, who brutally
slaughtered our deceased fellow citizen,
Will Reul, we get angry and look for the
motive in periodically trying to beguile
Watertown's many friends and acquain-
tances of the deceased. This was his
home town, and why do they always
want signers from among people who
naturally resent such tactics. What
does this repeated activity in the behalf
of Mr.. AL. Schissler mean anyway? The
governor is tired OF the foul atrOcity, be-
cause he has said so. It's fendishness
simply nauseates. Away with it. The
perennial crowd of runners who wear or
wish to wear titles gotten through poll
tics, as they are played, subscribe their
names apparently monthly and also
march on to the doors of the governors
office but there they are rebuffed by a
we'll poised justice, the peculiar virtue
of his exceilency, who says:-'I say to
you that it was cold blooded murder and
that as long as I am Governor, "Al
Schissler will not be pardoned."
What then is this shameful trafficking
in the names of the acquaintances and
friends Of the Wronged one? Do you
want the names of the people Of Water
town to look like that betrayal wrought
by Judas?
The murderer for whom you work had
a long, fair and very expensive trial at
which there were present people from
this city to show their resentment at
such foul murder. He was proven not
only murderer but person Of bad
character and vicious associates. Some
body placed enough money into his de-
fense to start bank if used for better
advantage. The Supreme Court also had
the facts before them and they answered
that it was commitment Of cold
blOOded murder.
We appeal to the thinking public and
especially to those who are in public
office or whose names would be singled
out by hired pleaders during this betray
al or any that have without much
thought placed their names to this
petition to kindly in this instance ask
for more facts and remember the many
acquaintance who will see the names,
will feel hurt at such hasty action Be-
cause signatures without explanation
look immicai.
