TO PETITION COUNCIL.

During the past week high school
students have been circulating petit
tlons demonstrating against the ordi.
nance which has been drawn prohib.
iting the playing of football in the
city. The petition reads as follows:
WHEREAS, the game of foot ball
has been declared by some of our citi-
Zens to be a dangerous game, and
whereas an ordinance has been draft
ed to be presented for passage at the
next meeting of the common council,
making the playing of this noble
game misdemeanOr, placing partici-
patton in harmless play in the same
category as drunkenness and brawl-
ing, and
WHEREAS, we have found it not
more dangerous than baseball, shin
ney, skating or coast ting,
WHEREAS, the leading educators of
the United States, Canada and Eng
land have for many years considered
it healthful, wholesome sport, tend
ing to develop self-control, self-res-
pect, Self-reliance, and d love of fair
play, in all which we heartily con-
cur,
WHEREAS, the school authorities
have made participation in the inter
scholastic games contingent upon
average passing mark in all academic
work, Uhus stimulating pupils and in
citing them to close application to
their studies, and
WHEREAS, the keen interest in foot
ball and other athletic sports has
been one of the strong inducements
to bring young men into and keep
them in our high school until it now
has the roll of twenty-five more boys
than girls, condition not equaled by
any other high school of like size in
the state,
WHEREAS, the playing of foot ball
is not inimical to the peace, safety
good order of the state, therefore be it
PesOLUed, That we respectfully re-
quest the common council to respect
the inherent private rights of the
boys of this city and not to abridge
or interfere with their reasonable
personal liberty of playing IF foot
ball, mumblety-peg or marbles.

SAW HIM---NOT.

Trainmen report that two of Wau-
sau'S representative of the old rep
machine arose last Thursday morn
ing before the cocks began Growing,
and went to the Northwestern depot.
There they stood on the platform for
several hours shiyering and gazing
westward, waiting for President
Taft's special. Once in a while one
or the other would get down on his
knees and place his cold ear on the
cold rail and listen, in hopes of ascer-
tanning whether or not the train had
left Minneapolis. Finally the train
whistled, and their hearts began a
sledgehammer beating against their
ribs. They saw headlight and a
streak OF SmOke-that's all. As they
Wended their way up town it is pre-
sumed that each said to himself {:
Really, what satisfaction did l get
out of this near-midnight trip ?"
By the way, boys, Jack Johnson is

POSSIBILITIES OF SERIOUS LOSS

1t is the duty of every one who has
accumulated something for the bene-
fit of his family or heirs to so condi-
tion his affairs that his accumula-
tions will be wisely conserved and
distributed as he desires.
This can be accomplished by MAX
ing will, and naming a strong trust
company like the the Wisconsin Val
ley Trust company as executor and
trustee.
The making of a will is an everyday
matter which all prudent business
men realize is wise provision that
should be made while the mind is
clear.
1t is important that the will should
be so drawn that it cannot be miscon-
.Strued, but that it contains the provi-
SiOnS as the teStator wants them.
If you will let such a strong insti-
tuition as the Wisconsin Valley Trust
company draw your will you can rest
assured that it will be drawn right,
and that it will be carried out to the
letter if you name it your executor
and trustee.

CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY

The lesson of money saving is best
learned by opening a bank account.
Once started you have an incentive
to better habits and the immense
satisfaction of a reserve against ad-
versity. Aside from the fact that
your money will be safe from theft
and fire, it also affords a convenient
method for the payment of bills; and
as the checks are always preserved
and returned to you, they serve as
receipts for amounts paid.

HE PASSED THROUGH.

President Taft, and party of seven
ty-tiVe newspaper correspondents and
secret service men, passed through
this city Thursday morning at about
five O'clOrk, bound from Minneapolis
to Green Bay. All the Northwestern
switches along the line were spiked
so that nothing could befall his royal
majesty, and before any switching
could be done in Wausau yards Thurs
day morning crew had to go over
the line and pull up spikes.
Before reaching Wausau, Bill had
travelled over eleven Thousand miles,
had passed through seventeen states
and into towns having a combined
population of nearly 5000, 900 inhabit-
ants. His journey and his reception
in most cities makes a thinking man
think few thinks. There has not
been great hurrah anywhere since
he left Boston Sept Is, and it is a
curious anomaly that no president
has ever travelled the country over
and received a cooler reception.
He has talked and talked-and that
is all. His face has opened and closed,
but Bill has left bad imprint upon
the people. When one goes to hear
Paderewski or any other great musi-
clan he is enchanted for the time be-
ing. But on his homeward march he
thinks of music-that is all-and
thoughts of the man soon pass from
his mind. So it is with the presi-
dents speaking.
Yes, Bill passed through Wausau,
but only two of the faithful disturbed
their SlumberS to 90 to the depot to
see him through. The train consisted
of three Pullman sleepers, the presi-
dents private car, a car occupied by
General Manager Cantillion of the
@. & n. W. Ry. Co., a day coach and
baggage car, in charge if Thos. Con-
way conductor.
The president reached Green Bay
at an early hour in the morning,
where was met by the village band
and an escort of old timers.
People of the cities through which
he passed in Wisconsin are still doing
business
