STEVENS POINT

The city of Stevens Point was for
many years the leading city in the
Wisconsin Valley; but why it has
lost that prestige is not easy to ex-
plain, because it is surrounded by
good farming country and an indus
trious population, and is we'll located
for the development of manufact-
uring industries.
Among the MANY reasons that mighf
be alleged for it's retarded develop
ment, there are two that l think are
liable to be overlooked by the cas-
ual observer.
OF these, the most serious has beel
the proneness of it's business men
to invest their surplus money in out
side speculations instead of invest
ing it in some substantial home in
dustry.
Such outside speculations have
all the demoralizing effects of gamb-
ling. When the leading business
men i'm a community have acquired
the habit of speculative Investments,
they soon lose all taste for the slow
but substantial investments that are
a sure guarantee for future prosper
ity.
Stevens Point has given away to
Promoters franchises for city light
water and telephone service, and now
its people are paying dearly for their
neglect of public matters, and are
beginning to wake up to realiza-
ton of the mistakes they have made,
and are turning their attention to
the development of home Industries
and the recovery of the valuable
franchises that they have lost.
On Thursday evening Last at
meeting to the Business Mems Club
there were more than one hundred
and fifty of the best citizens present
to consider Municipal Ownership of
city Water-works now in the hands
of a private corporation, and the
discussion of that subject revealed
a strong desire to recover for the
people the control of their public
and the determination to
reverse the policy of the past and
invest their surplus capital in home
industry.
If the co-opera tive spirit there mani
tested, continues, Stevens Point may
yet recover its old place as the lead
ing city in the Wisconsin Valley.

In the third and last part of the
concert, the feature was the superb
rendition by T. G. Brockhouse of the
melophone solo part in that most
beautiful of compositions, "Titl's
Serenade." This piece was played in
such manner as to leave no chance
for criticizm, and was easily the most
popular number Of the whole program,
and we hope to experience the de-
light of hearing it again in the near
future.
AS whole, the concert last even
ing was exceptionally fine, and if the
boys will continue to practice as as
siduously and conscientiously as they
have been doing, we can look forward
to listening to some very fine open air
concerts during the coming summer.

FOR MAYOR.

Editor Reporter:-So far no one
seems very anxious to run for Mayor.
Dr. Pomainville has served the city
web and faithfully during the past
two years, but one term is all he
wants. The city has got to be such
size and the interests are so var
led that the man who honestly tries
to do his duty as Mayor must put in
very large percentage of his time,
directing, watching and enforcing.
Permit me to nominate candidate
A man, who is better posted and
more familiar with the affairs of the
city, past and present, than any 9th
er man in the city. One who has
served the city for years and never
found wanting, careful and conserva-
tive. One who could and would take
pride in looking after all details and
trimming down expenses. Such a man
is, Fred H. Jackson.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE
AT Nj. E, CHURCH

A large audience crowded the M. E.
church Sunday evening to hear a
temperance lecture by J, NJ, Skinner,
Grand Chief Templar of Wisconsin.
Special music was rendered by the
local Good Templar orchestra and a
vocal solo by Miss Daisy Thornton.
In the course of his address Mr.
Skinner referred to the remarkable
progress the temperance movement
had lately made. Nine states were
now dry. six having been added to
the ''dry'' list during the past three
years. Last year the consumption of
Whiskey was five million gallons less
than in 1908, and the production of
beer was two and half million bar

Thursday, February "a, 1910

CONGRESSMAN Morse has at last
found courage to come out and state
where he stands. He is half-breed
or progressive, not a stalwart. 1t is
getting so now in Wisconsin that a
man must put himself on record as to
whether he belongs to one faction or
the other, if he does not, both sides
will knock him. There never was so
much bitterness between factions in
Wisconsin as there is between the
breeds and the stalwarts. Those
on the state, senatorial, assembly and
even county and city tickets will have
to do the same before long.-Wausau
Pilot.
The fact that Cong. horse, now
wants to be considered a half-breed
progressive, because he feels that
faction is strongest in his district,
will not save his bacon, because both
factions have now found him out.

VIM. G. CoWling,

Dear SIR
1t has been suggested from time
to time that efforts be made to bring
about an understanding between the
numerous Republicans in Wisconsin
who believe in sane, progressive leg
islation and in the present national
of the pledges of the national plat
form, President Taft needs the as
sistance of every loyal republican.
At meeting held last August of
some of those who assisted Hon. Sam
primary, it was decided to carry on
the work started during that cam
paign, not in the interest of any man
or men, or for office but to bring a.
bout thorough understanding be
tween republicans who believe in pro-
gressive, yet sane legislation; that
kind of progressive legislation which,
while benefitting the people at large,
does not SO revolutionize business as
to cause more injury than good.
To do this work an executive COM
mittee has been provided for by the
Cook organization. We, as an organ
ization, desire to carry on this work
to successful termination, and to
do this we need your active co-opera-
ton, no matter with what part of
the Republican Organiza ton you may
have heretofore been affiliated. By
adhering to true republican princi-
pies, avoiding corruption in every
form and conducting a Clean honor
able campaign, We believe that Cur
efforts will result in some benefit to
the people of the state and to the
national administration.
Kindly advise me at your earliest
convenience whether we may count on
your active support in this move
ment.
Thanking you for an early reply,
l am
Very truly yours,
