Auditor Leddy Explain.

The following communication ex-
pla1n itself:
TO tAe People of the State Of Colorado:
Ewish to make clear to the people,
my Standing as regards H. B. 800,
which pertains to the Highway Com
mission and so greatly effects the
Road building in this state.
Primarily wish to say that am
most strongly In favor Of good roads,
and the attendant prosperity which
good roads bring, and further be-
liste that II the Courts sustain the
legality Of H. b. 200, it will mean .
permanent and great benefit to the
Highway building In this state, and
moreover, any assistance may be
able to give In clearing up this deplor-
able situation, wish to and will give.
feel, however, that the people
should understand why 1 have re-
fused to draw warrants authorizing
the payment Of these moneys, and
when it is given and understood, 1
feol that any fair minded man will
sgstain me in the stand have taken.
Ism under bond to the amount of
900 as guarantee to the state that
Twill not draw warrants on moneys
Which are not legally appropriated,
sd i am advised on such good au-
tAOrity as that of the Attorney Gem
sFal, that there is serious question
- 10 the legality Of this bill. More-
over, when you consider that any sim
gie tax payer could bring suit against
me or my bondsman and recover, in
case the illegality of this bill is sus-.
tained, feel that my refusal to issue
warrants is justified. While sim
eerely want to do anything in my
power to advance good road building
in the state, do not care to take the
ehsnce Of bankrupting myself and
embarrassing my bondsman.
in conclusion I will say that an
order from the court would make 1t
mandatory on me to issue warrants,
and in this event my responsibility
would end, and my bondsmAn and
myself be protected.
Very truly yours,
M. A. LEDDY, Auditor Of State.

"Let Us Alone"

The trust officials who appeared be-
(tqse the varions investigating COM
n1sttesa OF eougreAs this summer, In
cluding g. w. Perkins. complained
because the Democrats were too &C
tive in inquiring into their business
methods. 'Let US alone' is their ia
vorite wall whenever move is made
to determine In what manner they
are exacting tribute from the people.
''The tendency to distrust big corpor-
ations," said Mr.. Perkins, sis hurt
ing business. Business desires to go
ahead unmolested."
The LET Us Alone" policy would
suit the trusts exactly. Having COB
bled everything in sight, naturally
they resent Interference. With the
tariff 10 high that they have q mon
opoiy on all Of the necessities Of life,
and the antitrust law SO interpreted
that restraint of trade is restraint no
longer, just so that it is reasonable, {"
they are safe from competition and
immune from prosecution. Hence
their desire to be ''let Alone"
In the meantime, how about prices?
Ten years ago q pair Of flve-pound
woolen blankets could be bought tor
1915; today they cost $500. At that
time the price of Ave yards Of serge
cloth, fifty inches wide, was 1915; the
price now is 1925. Ten years ago
twenty yards of unbleached cotton
cloth could be bought for $1.2O; today
the cost is 42.2O. Five yards Of all
wool flannel could be purchased then
for t2.75; the price now is 1925. Flour
sold for $3.50 less per barrel during
the Civil war than 1t does now-and
that even at time when the prices
of food stufis had scared to the high
heavens.

FATALLY INJURED.

Carl Abraham, former resident of
the west side, received injuries Satur-
day which caused his death several
hours later. Mr.. Abraham not long
ago moved onto farm in the town of
Wausau, joining the Mcintosh road.
Saturday he was engaged in spring
work on the farm, clearing land of
rocks, stumps, eUc. He was using a
lumber wagon to do his hauling, his
little son and daughter being on the
wagon most of tlle time, alternating
with their father in driving. The
pole slipped out of the neck yoke and
the horses started to run. Mr.. Abra-
ham, in trying to control them, was
thrown under their feet and received
the injuries which later caused his
death. He was forty-five years of age
and is survived by his wife and five
children. The funeral will be held
Thursday afternoon from St. Pauls
church, this city.

KOLTER- kRAUSE.

On Thursday of the past week
George r. Kolter of Jersey City, n.
j., arrived in Wausau for a short
visit with his mother, Mrs. Jacob
Kolter and his brother, sisters and
other relatives. But he came not
alone for at noon, Wednesday May 3D.,
at the home of the brides mother,
1928 Evans Ave, Chicago, ne was
united in marriage to Miss Julia
Krause. The event was complete
surprise to his hosts of friends, though
not to his relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kolter Immediately
set out on trip through the state
and the sojourn of several days afford
ed splendid opportunity for them
to renew old friendships in Wausau;
Mr.. Kolter grew to manhood here
and Mrs. Kolter has many acquaint-
ances here having visited in Wausau
on several occasions.
Mr.. Kolter is engaged in the iewelry
business and it is pleasure to all to
know he is prospecting; under the
newly formed partnership, contiTued
success and happiness are of course
assured.
Saturday evening they returned to
Chicago from whence in the course OF
a few days they will leave for their
new home in the East.

OPENS TOMORROW.

The NV. base ball league season
opens tomorrow with Wausau in La
Crosse; Superior in Rochester; Duluth
in Red Wing; and Eau Claire in
Winona. Wausau plays twelve games
and then returns home and opens the
season on home grounds May q, with
Winona.
There was fair attendance at the
games Saturday and Sunday. when
the Twin City Gophers played here,
and everyone came away from the
games satisfied that Wausau has a
much stronger team than last year.
There don't appear to be weak spot
anywhere unless it is that one more
good pitcher is needed. The team,
with the exception of Walliser, is
composed of big men, who, when they
lean against ball, are capable OF
driving it out to the Durham sign.
1t is well balanced team of hitters
and fielders, and if it don't give
good account of itself it will be
strange. In these two games all OF
the pitchers were given tryouts, even
dusty" Rhodes, third baseman, be-
ing given trial, and Dusty is some
pitcher.
The games lacked interest for the
reason that they were lop-sided-
''coons" couldn't deliver the goods.
They lost out Saturday by score OF
l2-6 and on Sunday gathered runs
while Wausau made s. The same
team defeated Eau Claire games be-
fore coming here.
Wausau expects to get pitcher
from Louisville of the American
association in day or SO. Then with
Dunbar, Fennel, Hill, and Rhodes as
a utility NAM we will be pretty well
hooked up for pitchers. Watch the
Wausau team this year.
The team departed this forenoon
for Lacrosse.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

On Friday night Miss Bohrer gave
an address after the closing exercises
of the school in the town of Halsey,
district No. 3. The program was ar
ranged in two parts, the first part be-
ing principally composed ofrecitations,
talks and choruses. The second part
was largely of a dramatic nature and
reflected great credit upon the interest
that the children had taken and the
effort made by the teacher, Richard
Esswein, in presenting a program of
length and difficulty. The address
by Miss Bohrer followed the program;
the subject discussed was, what Con-
stitutes an Appropriate Higher Edu-
cation for Country Children ~ Miss
Bohrer first called attention to all the
prominent features of the country
child's environment, of scientific, ar
tistic, and moral value. She then
showed how the common school course
might be enriched so that more lib
eral education might be secured
through we'll trained teachers and
added apparatus, for advanced work
in many lines.
Miss Eleanor Bradfsh invited Miss
Bohrer on Saturday night to give the
same LEISURE in Hamburg. She spoke
at that time more especially of the
necessity of combining practical ed
ucation with the cultivation of the
ideal. Mr.. Esswein who was also in
vited, spoke at considerable length of
a country boys equipment for the
battle of life as compared to that of
the city boys equipment. He believed
that the city boy was handicapped on
many sides because of the limitations
of his city environment and the re-
suit of weakened body and weak
ened mind. Both meetings were large
ly attended and great interest was
manifested in the subjects presented
A part of the regular work of the
training school is, SO far as practi-
cable, to visit the manufacturing
plants of Wausau as an aid to the I'M
derstanding of industrial geography
and to become somewhat familiar with
modern methods of manufacture.
Friday afternoon the pupils visited
the Alexander Stewart Lumber COM
pany's saw mill and spent an hour
pleasantly and proftably. As this is
the only saw mill that is practicable
for us TO inspect, we appreciate the
courtesy of the company and employees
in permitting our annual visit. 1t is
our intention to visit other establish
mentS soon.
Miss Elsa Umnus, 10, has finished
her school, and is now visiting in
Wausau.
Miss Elizabeth Dillan, 10, will at
tend the state normal school at Stev-
ems Point, as soon as the session opens.

ABEL BUGBEE.

Abel Ralph Bugbee died Sunday
morning at the home of his parents,
DR.. and Mrs. Geo. r. Bugbee, 526
Jackson street. He had not been in
the best of health for the past
thirteen months. His illness dates
back to an injury received in school
athletics and later tuberculosis set in.
For long time he had been confined
to his bed, gradually nearing the
end.
Deceased was born in Whitefield,
N. H., twenty-three years ago and
came to this city little later with
his parents. Before his graduation
from the Wausau high school, which
was in 1906, he took an active part in
school athletics, and continued such
work up to the time of mis- injury.
After leaving our high school he
entered Ripon college, and then the
University of Wisconsin. He re-
NAMED in the latter institution UNI
til the condition of his health caused
him to come home.
The young man was a fayorite
among his companions and his death
is mourned by all students who at
tended school or college with him,
and our citizens extend sympathy to
the bereaved family.
Besides his parents he is survived
by five brothers and sisters: Leigh,
George, Gwendolin, Mural and De-
borah.
The funeral services will be con-
