HUMAN PROGRESS

William Walker Atkinson, writ
ing for The Nautilus, among other
things, says:
1T is predicted that in time the
race will look back upon the ex-
istence of poverty in our civiliza-
ton, as our generation now looks
back upon the existence of slavery,
imprisonment for debt, capital pun
ishment for the theft of q loaf of
bread, the killing of prisoners of
war, etc. 1t is thought that in
time, wars of conquest will be
deemed as utterly immoral as to-
day is regarded the murder Of q
body of men by . band of pirates
or bandits. In the same way the
economic slavery Of today will be
seen as immoral as now seems the
physical slavery Of the past seem
incredible that society could have
ever allowed one of its members to
die of hunger in the streets, or Of
poverty and inattention in the sick
room of the howell. Not only will
the ideals and feelings of ethical
and moral responsibility change
and evolve, but the feelings of per-
sonal sympathy will evolve in &C.
oordance Herewith. At least such
is the dream and prophecy Of some
of the worlds greatest thinkers.
"A better day is dawning. The
signs are in the air, to be seen by
all thoughtful men. Civilization
is climbing the ladder, aided by
the evolution of the social. ethical
and moral emotions, and the de-
velopment Of the intellect"

THE STEEL TRUST

THE STEEL TRUST
. The Steel Trust came into ex-
istence, almost overnight, in April,
1901.
And through all these years the
promoters of this illegal trust have
conducted the most colossal stock
gamble that the world has ever
known. They have made hundreds
of millions of dollars. They have
sold to the public the greater part
of q billion dollars worth Of stocks
and bonds.
The Steel Trust has now on it,
books over q hundred thousand
stockholders. It 10 the most widely
distributed Of any stock in the
country. 1t has been the popular
favorite, the especial fsvorite Of
the small investor. From Cape

stock, which was absolutely wat
or, has been scattered, often
among people who held no other
securities.
II the Government wins it, suit,
It 10 not the rich promoters, it 10
not the prinoely gamblers in steel,
who will suffer, but the always in.
nocent and ever-gullible investors.
II the trust is illegal now, it was
illegal when it began. In the pop
ular mind it has had almost gov.
ornamental sanction. And the huge
earnings which have attracted the
investor. and made it possible for
the promoters to sell their stock
and reap their unparalleled peo6ts,

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. L. Plumer have re-
ceived a newspaper from Sheldon, Ia,
giving an account of a golden we'd
ding celebration which will interest
people of an early day who knew the
principals when they were residents
of Wausau. All of our early day peo-
pie remember Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Jones. They left Wausau about forty
years ago, but have visited here at
various times since. Mr.. Jones, when
he lived here, was known as one Of
the expert pilots on the Wisconsin
and Mississippi rivers. He resided in
Wausau about ten years, and during
that time made lifelong friends of
our people.
The newspaper says that on the Oc-
aston mentioned above, this worthy
couple was presented with two gold
candlesticks, a gold clock, a valuable
piece of hand painted CHINA just
recognition and esteem of venerable
couple who have reached the fiftieth
milestone of a useful married life.

BUILDING A NEW HOME.

A handsome home is, of course, not
out of the ordinary in Durant, as
many of them have been built in the
past, and are still being built, but R.
E. Powers is building a handsome
home that is out of the ordinary.
This new addition to Durant's list
of beautiful homes is being built in
the pretty elm grove at the corner of
Elm street and Tenth avenue, and is
attracting much attention. 1t is the
first house in Durant to be finished
on the outside with cement; with
what is known as a pebble-dash finish.
This house is of the bungalow style,
six rooms, bath and pantries, closets,
a sleeping porch, ETC., on the first
floor, two large bedrooms, hall and
store rooms on the second floor. A
verenda ten feet wide and thirty feet
long, extends across the 'front.'

WauSau

Since lower Grand Ave. has been
blockaded by reason of the street car
company building turnout track,
considerable trouble has ensued, Of a
nature which has stirred the ire of resi-
dents in that locality. The company
has placed several red lights on the
distractions each night, but still
drivers of vehicles have tried to pass.
Some have taken a chance of break
their buggy and passed over, while
others have driven onto peoples
lawns. One night last week someone
drove over Judge Miller's and Gus
Baesman's lawns, the wheels of their
rig passing over a bicycle belonging
to Mr.. Baesman and reducing it to
splinters and scrap iron. Sunday
night someone drove over five of the
red lights, smashing every lantern.

in the history of Wausau's society
events. There were two hundred ana
fifty invitations issued and all were

POSTPONEMENT.

Since the article headed Tonight"
was set in type and printed on the
first page we have unconsciously be-
come a candidate for admittance to
the Annanias club. The lecture
scheduled for this evening on the
market square has been postponed to
Saturday evening, July %. Just why
the wherefore of this is we have been
unable to learn, but if you read the
date on the front page, don't you be-
lieve it. 1t was printed before we
discovered that a postponement had
been taken, and never yet has any
means been discovered to imprint a
newspaper, any more than you can
unsleep a man.

ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
WAUsAU, Wis, July 20, 191

WAUsAU, Wis, july 20, 1911.
The members of the board are
| pleased to announce the opening of
the thirteenth year of the Training
school on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1911.
1t is evident from the continued
liberal patronage of the public that
this school has the confidence of the
people of Marathon county, Twelve
years Of continuous service under the
same management indicates a mutual
regard and service complementary to
both.
We have asserted and again affirm
our belief that the Training school
can give pupils from the country a
better education and training than
any other school within their reach.
The training that makes good
teacher also makes q good citizen.
The certificate from the school
enables the holder, if successful the
tirst year, to teach in the county for
three years. Superintendent in other
counties may accept standings of
graduates and grant certificates good
in their respective counties. During
the life of the certificate standings
may be credited from it on a second
grade certificate. Credits are also
given in the normal schools.
Employment at good wages is given
at once to the graduates of the school
and rapid promotion waites on success
in teaching. The money saved will
enable students to go through higher
schools, even the college or univer-
sity. Indifference to so grand an
opportunity betokens lack of ambition
not creditable to the teachers or the
community that provides the oppor-
tunity. The way is open to any one
of sane mind and sound body.
There is no charge for tuition and
text books are furnished without
cost. The state appropriates $500
and the county $1,000 for the support
of the school. Students from all
counties are admitted on equal terms,
though few come, because the state
bears the greater part of the expense.
There are two courses, a one year
course, and one of two years. Pupils
are assigned to them according to
scholarship and ability.
Pupils will find it grea ! to their
advantage to be present at the opening
of the term. The age required for
admission is 16 years and upward.

with the danger of getting lost, she
told her a vivid story of some chill
dren who ran away to go nutting'
Night found them far from home and
lost in the woods. With much art
the mother told of storm in the
night and of the terrible distress OF
the parents and friends who hunted
for the children until morning. She
also told about the good breakfast
prepared for the children, which they
missed because they did not reach
home till 10 o'clock.
The little girl listened intently tc
every word, and the mother hoped
that the story was making an impress
sion. When she finished the child

Almost an Angel.

George AIDE was talking at a June
wedding in Chicago about matrimony.
"Matrimony is perhaps a little too
much idealized," he said. These
June brides, radiant under their white
wells in a glitter of June sunshine,
seem capable of changing earth to
heaven, but, as a matter of fact, they
are not capable of anything of the
sort.
