Markets and Clogs the Wheels o,
Progress.
The idea has. been expressed many
times by employers that the eff urts OF
trade unions to shorten hours and in
crease wages are barriers to progress
in a community, but such an idea can
not be successfully maintained unless
a very narrow and unreasonable def
milton is given the word. If progress
is simply held to be population. and
this notion prevails in the minds OF
many employers. then China is the
most progressive country in the world
Trade unionists do not believe thai
great masses of people. regardless OF
their character. denote progress, nol
do they believe that the addition OF
cheap. unintelligent. servile laborers
add to the progress or welfare of
people.
Trade unionists have been taught
by stern experience that constant toi
units a man for valuable productive
labor and that the man who works
long hours. like the rubber which Is
always stretched, will not last long
SO that when the union shortens hours
Of labor it becomes an instrument fol
the progress and improvement of the
entire community. even in point OF
population. rather than hindrance tc
1t, as some employers seem to believe.
The fact that constant toll, like
cancer, robs the human being of the
vitality so essential to progress can
not be disputed by any man who is
student of industrial conditions.
The unionist contends and main
tains that the most valuable asset
country can have is an intelligent
healthy class of wage workers, and
intelligence and health go hand in
hand with short hours Of labor and
reasonable pay.
The man who would increase the
population by bringing in hordes OF
unhealthy. ignorant laboring men sin
ply because they will work long hours
for low wages is not the friend, but
the enemy. Of the community.

and business man. "Come on. get in;
the water is fine." but the merchant
who has been foolish enough to heed
such advice has invariably found him
self drawn out to sea by resistless
current because cheap labor does not
furnish a market for his wares.
The history Of unionism in Amer.
lea demonstrates that short hours and
good pay give such an impetus to the
brain and muscle of the laboring man
that he has surpassed the world in
efficiency and is thus enabled. while re-
ceiving high wages. to produce many
of the necessaries Of life at lower
cost of production than cheap foreign
labor; therefore the complaint that
unionism interferes with progress is
proved to be without foundation.
The cheap, ignorant laborer. it Is
urged. is easier satisfied, more con-
tented than the unionist. which is In
itself an admission that he does not
add to the progress of the community,
because the man who is contented
with his position never achieves much.
1t is the constant ambition to better

ditions, that makes alp lpan. accomplish

diphtheria and another member of the
family was sick with it. The attend

or disinfection.
In another home, near the school
house, child was reported TO have
died of black diphtheria. A second
child being attacked by the disease
was taken to the home of relatives in
an adjoining district, and the house
quarantine. If the facts are as re-
ported to US it would seem that the
city of Wausau needs protection
against the country.
DIR. A. Norman Tough visited the

JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER is about to
devote his great wealth to the welfare
of mankind for all future ages. Pre-
liminary to this great philanthropic
work, q bin was introduced into the
Senate called the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, its scope is limited only TO the
needs of mankind. The third section
of the bin as introduced reads:
"That the object of the said cofpor-
alton shall be TO promote the we'll
being and TO advance the civilization
of the people of the United States
and its territories and possessions and
of foreign lands in the acquisition
and dissemination of knowledge, in
the prevention and relief of suffering,
and in the promotion of any and all
of the elements of human progress"
The details of the amount of en-
dowment which Mr. Rockefeller will
bestow upon the foundation lave not
yet been worked out" Mr.. Murphy
said, NOR has the personnel of the
entire board of directors, which may
number twenty-five and at no time
less than five, been determined.

Ter of friends, / have decided to be-
come non-partisan candidate for re-
election to the Office of mayor.
The next two years will be of prime
Importance in the history of Wausau,
and while we hope to advance as a
city, in many lines there is much
need of careful administration of
public affairs. There should be no
extravagant use of the peoples money.
The tax rate should be kept within
reasonable limits, and yet needed i'm
,provements should be permanent ones
not temporary repairs that only tide
over present troubles.
The people have voted for nom
partisan election. Let us hope that
the next administrator will be nom
partisan and that it may make this a
better and larger city and that its
work will be directed solely to the good
of the whole people and not admins
tered in the interest of any party,
corporation or special interest.

The meeting of the college union
that was held last Friday night was
the most lively one held during the
school year. The cause of all the eX~
element was the debate 'ReSolved,
that bachelors should be taxed" Nine
of the young lady students, with Mr..
Sommersfs4 their leader upheld the
resolutfUfi, and nine of the young
men with Miss Emma Howard as
their leader defended the negative.
Very good points pro and con were
introduced, but the judges, consisting
of Miss Zietlow and Messrs. Price and
Evers decided that the young ladies
spoke more cOnvincingly than the
young men. The young men, to
smooth things over; treated their OPP
ponents and all present, with popcorn
balls. Before the debate the regular
election for the last month of the
lyceum year took place which resulted
as follows:
President-Thos. Evans.
First Vice-President-Miss Emma
Howard.
Second Vice res.-Miss Ethel Clack
Secretary-Joe Feldman.

were of high grade and very help
full. OF note was the address by SEN
ator Beverage on 1.-THE School and the
20 toit ~ Of 1soI
in which he said that the modern
| system of ventilation is all wrong;
that people breathe in more oxygen
thru their bodies than thru their
lungs; which if true would mean a
revolution of our winter dress; that
the school room ought to be kept at
81 degrees rather than 10; and that
between recitation periods the stu
dents ought to take some sort of ex-
ercise in the cold air which would
stimulate their minds.
At meeting of last years foot ball
team, held last evening, John Brown
was elected captain for next year.
He played quarter on last years team
