LEADERSHIP

The following editorial from the
Milwaukee News voices our sent1-
ments and we reproduce it in part,
eliminating reference to party:
1t is unfortunately true that a
large part Of our political leader
ship Of the past few years has been
of the follow kind. Men who posed
as leaders Of the people and who
were welcomed by the people as
such, we're in fact not leaders at
all but politicians gifted with the
quality Of attracting attention and
were very busy keeping their ear
to the ground. In this position
they listened carefully for the rum
bling Of public desire and on de-
tecting the note rushed to the front
and shouted.
A good deal of that sort of lead
ership was good. While many of
those who followed such tactics
were chiefly concerned with the Sc
curing of office, others were anx-
lous to serve the people honestly
simply as means to a desirable
end. But far too many people
have failed to distinguish the sub
stance from the sound, the benefit,
the result from the airy plan.
But we have now reached a stage
where, the awakening having taken
place, the danger being realized,
we need we'll digested and effec-
tive plan for the betterment of the
conditions. That is, we need real
leadership, clear, practical thinkiI g
leaders who can and will show us
the way to the end we seek.
We are in a condition now that
might be likened to a panic. Now,
many and many a panic has been
checked aid order and benefit
brought out of the confusion by
cool men putting themselves at the
head and directing and calming
the thoughts of the panic stricken.
That is what we need now, cool,
competent men who can reach the
bottom of affairs and touch the
causes and so bring the remedies.

Marriage Deferred

Wedding preparations were inter-
rupted by Chief of Police Block at
Oconomowoc Tuesday night when he
took into custody Arthur Schemmel
Of this city, who was to have been
married in that city this morning.
Schemmel is charged with the forgery
OF a mortgage on which he secured
the sum of $1,000 from the real estate
firm of Conner & Spiegelhoff. The
scheme employed was patterned after
the tactics Of the late William Ram
busch of Juneau, and would not have
been found out probably for years
but for the fact that the premises on
which the mortgage was forged, own
ed by William Gerfn at 1905 Main
street, caught aire Sunday and in
looking for his papers when the loss
settlement was to be made, he dis
covered that his deed and insurance
paper was missing. i.
Then it was that he remembered
that on last Friday Schemmel called
on him and after telling him he
wanted to buy home, asked to see
his deeds, etc., which Mr.. Gerfn, who
is quite old, acceded to, and brought
him the box from which he extracted
the papers wanted
He then took them to Mr.. Spiegel-
hoff, saying that he was working his
mothers farm near Oconomowoc and
that he was unfortunate in having
trouble with his cattle and needed
some money, and told of the Main
street property. The real estate man
after viewing the premises, loaned
him $1,000 and the mortgage was ex-
ecuted by Gustav Buchheit.
When arrested Schemmel had but
little money, saying that he had paid
quite little for furniture and had
paid up some debts about the city.

"a wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he heard. the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why aren't we all more like this bird?
SEEKING AND FINDING
Don't go looking for evil,
Seek goodness instead;
In place of a storm-cloud,
See sunshine ahead.
For on life's great journey
We follow the mind,
And the things we are seeking
Are things that we find.

But what have we sown today?
We shall build large mountains, tower

But, here and now, do we do our task;
Yes, this is the thing our soul must ask
What have we done today?"

T. B. Collins of Nebraska, Pa,
millionaire lumberman, a good
Episcopal Methodist, gives annu-
ally from $50, 900 to $40, 900 to his
church to be expended IN charities;
to alleviate suffering and misery.
He lives in an unpretentlous house
and he and his family dress plainly
and associate with the people en-
ployed in his mills and lumber
yards. He says, that Jesus Christ
commanded: Deny thyself; and he
and his family are ende avoring to
do so in every possible way. He
is an ideal christian and if there
were more like him the world would
soon be a paradise.
Playing sick seems to be a trick
with members Of the Standard OIL
Co. Joseph c. Sibley of Franklin,
Pa, who is wanted in court to ex-
plain how he spent s42 900 to Sc

teller when wanted in court to tell
of the transactions of the Standard
Oil Co. was sick; so was one
Pierce of Missouri. They appear
to be a mighty sickly lot and need
heroic treatment.

Meat and groceries and price:
generally may be falling, but sc
far, nobody has been seriously IN
jured.
The vote cast in this state at the
recent election was $40, 1922, fall
ing off of Io3,355. from the vote
cast two years age. There must
be a reason for such impatriotic
indifference upon the part OF such
large number of voters. 1t may
be, that they are Independents and
not ready to identity themselves
with the Social Democratic party.
There certainly, was not anything
in the republican state platform to
influence loyalty to party, for 1t
covered about everything from
damfoolery to positive idiocy. 1t
is time, that our party dealt with
state and national issues on the

Wisconsin, all for the benefit of a
single individual who cares only

Ore Indications Near Ray.

The prospective development of
a new ore range in the northern
section Of the county has been aug.
mentcd of late by exploratory work
in the vicinity of Ray, on the line
of the Duluth, Rainy Lake & Win
nipeg.
The discoveries are said to be at
tracing the attention of outsiders
to a great extent, scores of people
dressed as farmers and ostensibly
hailing from the hay-stack country
dropping into the village from day
to day and "mooching" about the
workings, picking up any stray in
formation obtainab BILE, and seeking
land. But when the mineral res
ervation is found in the deed they
straightway find the land is not so
valuable from an agricultural
standpoint as to warrant the in
tended investment.

Name of New Road East from cusseas ia
Which Local Men are interested.

1t is understood 1.-THE Northern

shortly file articles ofincorporation,
with Edward Hines; Chicago, as
president, G. W. Lindsay, vice pres
ident, and S. J. Cussons. of this city,
general manager of the Virginia &
Rainy Lake Company; as secretary
and treasurer.
The proposed new line is now
we'll built, extinding easterly from
Cussons, on the line of the Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg, for dist
ance of some twenty-five miles,
toward Crane Lake. It is said to be
the intention of extending the line
to Crane Lake, striking this body of
water near the north end of the
Crane Lake portage. From this
point it is said branch will be ex-
tended to Lake Capitogama, while
other extensions will be built for
the purpose of reaching the timber
holdings of the Virginia & Rainy
Lake Company, the primary object
of construction.
The new road will be standard
gauge, and aside from the standing
timber along the line will open a
section believed by many to be rich
in mineral, considerable holdings
in the section to be traversed being
owned bv Virginians.

Mayor Andrew Hawkinson and
William Rooney left Wednesday
for Brainerd as delegates from the
Virginia Commercial Club to the
meeting of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association, in ses-
sion at that point yesterday and to-
day.
This meeting is OF more than
ordinary interest to northern Min
nesota, as many questions affecting
the development and the subject of
state aid therefor of the northern
portion of the state will be under
discussion. The question of just
and equitable re-apportionment
will also be live topic before the
meeting, and the provisions of a
suitable forest ranger bill, to be
presented at the next session Of the
Legislature will be considered.
In the selection of the local COM
mittee Virginia will be-, represented
by those who know the needs of the
section through long residence,
and by men whose property hold
ings have caused them to study the
questions to come before the meet
ing from a personal standpoint.

Moose BiI|' Broke Camp.

Vim. Martin, more commonly re-
ferred to since his achievement of
two years ago as "Moose Bill" who
has had a hunting camp through
out the season at mile post II on
the Rainy Lake, broke camp Mon.
day, stopping in the city for day
or two on his way to his home at
Glencoe.
Many Virginians were among the
number making headquarters at
this camp during the season, and a
good bag of game was made in
that neighborhood, although no
moose meat was on the bill of fare.
Mr.. Martin trailed a couple of
moose for two days last week, but
failed to catch up with the long
geared animals. On his trip home
he will take buck and a doe which
fell before his aim on Saturday.
