One of the traits of wide awake
progressive town is civic pride. 1t
is good trait, for while sometimes
it leads one into making slightly
exaggerated statements, yet in the
main 1t is a good, healthy feeling
for the Individual, and at all times
conducive to the prosperity and
growth of his city. 1t makes one
vigorous in defense, and persistent
in undertakings; it is an incentive
to industry; it makes the individual
contented and therefore happy. Be-
lieve in your town and talk your be-
lief. If you have any old fogies re-
member they are in the minority
and that it takes all kinds of people
to make a world anyway. Encour-
age live people to move in by max
ing it worth their while. Welcome

There appears to be abundant
room for encouragement in the
Chinese anti-opium campaign, to
the promotion of which a year ago,
under the lead of the United States,
the powers of the world devoted an
international congress at Shanghai.
Reports are by no means complete,
and the lack of an efficient general
government causes much diversity
of action and results in the different
provinces of the Empire, but it is
certain that marked progress is be-
ing made in the suppression of the
drug habit and of the cultivation of
poppieS for the manufacture of
opium. In Peking itself it is esti-
mated that among the people three
tenths have given Up 9pi3sfn srnek
ing and among the high officials
eight-tenthS have done So Most
encouraging of all is the assurance
that popular sentiment is heartily
sustaining the government in this
campaign and is making it increas-
ingly disreputable for men to in
dulge in the vice.

The rush to cities, or at least, the
inclination to develop great cities,
evidently prevails in Germany as
we'll as in Great Britain and Amer
lea. Formerly Germany had no
great metropolis and no large cities
while the overwhelming masses of
the people lived outside of the cities
and large towns. A century ago
there were only two considerable
places in Germany-namely, Berlin
and Hamburg-neither of which had
as many as 100000 inhabitants, in
Guiding its suburbs, while Paris had
100000 and London more than
100000. In those two places
dwelt only about LIS per. cent of
the German people. Now there are
no fewer than 81 large cities or
towns in the Empire of more than
10000 inhabitants each, embracing
some 20 per cent of the population
of the Empire. In the first year of
the present century Berlin had
grown to 2,469,000. The causes of
this remarkable growth of Berlin
are various. The enormous growth
Of the German industries has prob
ably contributed most largely to the
condition which has made the
country more potential abroad but
less self-sustaining at home.

Every child should be taught to
save money without being avari-
cious or niggardly. We need more
thrift. The average American wage
Garner wastes enough in his youth
to make him comfortable in his old
age. We should take lesson from
France in this respect. They know
how to enjoy life and at the same
time work hard and save money.
They suffer less from pal1ics and
depressed times than any other
people, because nearly every person
saves something against a rainy
day. The French schools teach the
children to save money, ancl the
most frequent prize given in schools
is a savings bank book with small
sum to the credit of the owner.

Life is too short to give up all to
business and nothing to pleasure

We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we
can in every way possible that will
be to its advantage Oar neigh
boris prosperity means great deal
more to us than someone's who
lives elsewhere. We should bear
this in mind in buying our goods.
We can afford to pay our home man
a firm price for his wares rather
than send our money away, knowing,
as we do, that every dollar our own
citizens make will help in sustain
ing our schools, churches and public
institutions. 1t pays richly to pat

Hudson Boys Build Biplane

Two Hudson High school boys bid
fair to win honors in the aviation
world, having built a biplane that
scars successfully, with prospects
that their machine will fly when
proper motor power is furnished.
Early last fall Fritz Pearson, son of
Mrs. Chris Pearson. Fourth street,
and Perice Dickey conceived the
notion of building flying machine.
They provided themselves with all
available reading matter on the sub
ject and as students of the high
school they had learned much about
physics.
Their first machine was not large
enough; it was wanting in riding
surface. So they put an extension
on each end, and then their me-
chanical bird carried more square
feet of canvas than the machine
that has brought fame to Glen
Curtiss.
Then they put skis under it, light
runners, and took it out on Coon'S
hill for try-out. A hump was
thrown up, and as the machine shot
down the hill and over the hump it
sailed off gracefully, and sank slow
ly to earth. The first real tryout
demonstrated that the boys had
compassed the principle of air navi-
cation. Now they are figuring on a
motor. Their ship is staunch
enough, it has the necessary carrying
capacity, and all they need is the
engine. That they hope to get be
fore spring.
The frame of the ship is built of
spruce, timber light and stiff
The planes, upper and lower, are of
cotton muslin. 1t has length of
twenty-six feet, width, from front
to back, of six feet. Complete,

CINE would add $50 pounds to the
weight ii now carries.-Ex.

In an address which Governor
Hughes of New York delivered dur
ing the recent conference of the
governors in Washington he dis
cussed the relative responsibilities
of the state governments and the
national governments. He agreed
with President Taft at there must
be team work" between state and
national governments to assure the
accomplishment of desirable results
in government. He declared that
national activities inevitably will
widen but that the future prosperity
of the country must largely depend
upon the efficiency of state govern
ments. These annual consultations,
he believes, should be conducive to
the bringing about of uniformity of
state laws and that in cases where
absolute uniformity may not be ex-
pected, causes of friction may be
avoided by comfy of action. He
declared that the Significance of
this conference lies in our recogni-
ton of the fact that to make our
system of government answer it's
intended purposes we must encour-
age the development of state comfy
without the loss of state preroga-
tive" Here, he said, are forty-six
commonwealth dealing with sub
stantially the same problems of
government, and he argued that
from the interchange of views
should be evolved not merely a
nearer approach to uniform legisla-
ton and better system of inter
state comfy, but. with respect TO
governmental machinery there
should be devised the best state
government possible.

State University Treats
Many Rabies Patients

Thirty-hve hydrophobia patients
from 16 towns in IL counties of the
state have been treated at the state
university in the past two months,
at the new Pasteur Institute.
The towns from which the patients
have come include Lake Geneva,
Greenbush, plymouth, Sheboygan
Falls, DePere, Pulcifer, Sawyer,
Bridgeport. Underhill, Oneida, Bril-
lion, Gillett, Marinette, Menasha,
Shiocton, and Grover.
The urgent need of establishing
an institute for treating Wisconsin
patients was shown by the fact
that men and 584 animals in the
state died last year of hydrophobia,
the disease being proved in AZ local
tiles. The loss of live stock includ-
ed 400 cattle, 100 hogs, Sc horses,
and % sheep, according to a report
of the state veterinarian.
Although the appropriation by the
legislature for the work is not enough
to make possible the plan of giving
the treatment entirely free, the
charge is nominal, being but $25
for each patient, compared to $500
at all other institutes. The treat
ment costs the institute $21, and
the 81 left is put in a fund for
pauper patients.

AS on numerous former occasions
when internal strife threatened to
temporarily disrupt the Republican
party some strong man has arisen
who was able to command peace.
Thus in what promised to be dis
astrous situation, when regular s
and insurgents were struggling with
might and main against each other,
President Taft appeared in the field
OF strife and presented a treaty OF
peace which was eagerly signed bv
the combatants. From nov on The
internal struggles will cease until
the Presidents legislative pro.
gramme has been enacted and the
party has a Arm platform upon
which to stand before the country in
the coming Congressional elections.

have been enjoying the summer

contrast the progress that has been
made by men in navigating the seas,
in annihilating distance and accom-
plishing comfort afioat.
It is an impressive fact that the
paths that are now followed by the
gigantic and magnificently appointed
ships of the present age were opened
by the crude vessels Of our forefath-
ers and that the safe passage Of the
oceans now was not guaranteed to the
sturdy souls who went down to the
