Commission Form.

Oshkosh will try for the commits
sion form of government, and no
doubt will get it if enough interest is
taken by it's citizens to educate it's
people as to the many advantages
over the present system. The North
western in making appeal for the
commission form says:
SIN the opinion of those who have
carefully considered the question,
there is really no doubt that the
prosperity and welfare of this city
could be materially advanced by the
adoption of the commission system.
Ward politics and partisan politics
would then be eliminated, the bust
ness of the city conducted along lines
that prevail in the conduct of pri-
vate business, waste and extravaganza
cut down, and the opportunity pro-
vided for giving the tax payers dol
lars worth of returns for every dol
lar expended. And with the initia-
tive, referendum and recall, the peo-
pie would at all times be masters OF
the situation, to an extent that is
now unknown. 1t is up to the voters
they can have this system if they
want it,"

WON en- Jubilant-

Why shouldn't they be? There is
good cause for them rejoicing
throughout the length and breadth
of this land, all because the state of
California has given them the right
to vote. The election was held in
that state last Tuesday and as San
Francisco alone returned a crushing
majority of $4,000 against the suffrage
amendment, its workers were very
downcast on the night of election on
Tuesday. Such favorable reports
came in from the country for the
sufrragists that they became hopeful.
These conditions continued to exist
until there was a majority OF 1900 for
the amendment. Women were per-
fectly carried away with the result
and there is rejoicing and excitement
all over the nation among the suf-
fragists.

MUSICAL CLUB COURSE.
Commences on Tuesday, October 31st.
Five High Class Entertainments.

The ladies of the Tuesday Musical
club announce their concert course
for l611-19l2 as follows;
October 3lst, Cecil Tanning, the
well known baritone, who ranks with
such artists as Maurel, De Gogorza
and Scotte.
November 10Th, Lila Ormend,
soprano, whose beautiful voice ana
charming personality never fail to
please. Miss Ormond is one of the
Younger singers whose debut in New
York and London met with great
success. She has also filled very
creditable engagements with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. As a
soprano she is unusual in that her
voice possesses both lyric and dramatic
skill.
December 18th, date subject to
change) Maud Powell, who needs no
introduction, as her name is known to
every household, for she is proudly
recognized as Americas greatest
woman violinist.
January 18th, Paulo Grippe, Dutch
cellist. MIR. Grippe has been in this
country but one year but his success
in the east during that time has been
almost phenomenal.
February 14th, Christine Miller who
is recognized as possessing one of the
best contralto voices on the concert
stage. Miss Miller has refused many
fattering offers from operatic man
ayers, preferring to devote her artistic
gifts to recital and oratorio work.
The support and appreciation offered
last year assure the club that the
time has come when the people OF
Wausau are not to be satisfied with
anything but the best in music.
The members of the club are to be
congratulated upon their success in
securing for the people of Wausau
the privilege of hearing such eminent
and popular artists as are usually
only heard in the larger cities.
The concerts will be held at the
Wausau club house which will be
arranged so that each artist may ap
pear to the best advantage. No tick
cts will be sold at the door but al
who desire may obtain them at Mr.
Ingraham's store, COL Third ST.

MADE FORTUNE IN RADIsHEs
Long Island Man Got In on Ground
Floor and Reaped a Rich
Harvest.

What little things make men
rich," said Robert A. Shelton, at the
Cochran. Il was on an automobile
ride on Long island the other day, and
out Jamaica way was shown a fine
country residence, with beautiful
grounds and delightful fields.
MY friend told me that what I saw
was all derived from selling radishes
and lettuce to New York produce deal
ers. Nothing else was raised on the
farm winter or summer but radishes
and lettuce Of high quality, and most
OF 1t under glass. Abe Van Sicklen
was the farmer who foresaw a good
market for such relishes out of sea.

supply the big restaurants In New
York, then merchants, with the prod

He could get his own prices in win
ter. and for that matter did not worry
about the outdoor competition I'm sum-
mer. His regular patrons were glad
to make yearly contracts, and soon
Abe became rich.
Others started in to follow his
methods, but by the time they were
looking for customers old Abe had
gathered In fortune, and he died at

CHINESE SAILOR IS BEST
Is Adaptable From FIreroon1 to Gal.
ley, ls Industrious and Sticks
to ship.

There is a growing disposition on
the part Of ship owners and officers
In various parts of the world to send
to China for CONF lete crews. For
most ships, particularly when first
employing such crews, it is necessary
to carry about a third more Chinese
for the same service.
On the other hand there are many
officers and owners who claim that
with such additional allowance Of help
vessel is run more easily and eff.
GENTLY, and that, all things consid-
cred, the Chinese sailor is the best all
around man aboard ship to be found
anywhere.
He is adaptable from fireroom to
galley, Is industrious, has little or no
desire to leave the ship in port and
therefore gives little or no trouble
from drunkenness and desertion. AS
soon as they become accustomed to
foreign ways Chinese crews are as
emcient as and often more efficient
than foreign crews man for man, and
some companies pay their Chinese
crew practically as much man for
man as they do white crews and carry
the same complement they would of
white employees.

PMncipleHat Stake.

Frank j. Rowan has written the
following timely letter to the chair
man of the Democratic State Central
Committee. Every democrat should
read it. Viz:
My Dear Sir
l take the liberty to
write you this letter with the hope
that the great issue of 1912 may not
be lost sight of or obscured. In the
selection of candidates for the presi-
dency there is great danger that
principles may be overlooked in the
contests between men. The selection
of the right party at the election in
1912 is a thousand times more i'm
pOrtant to the average man than is
the nomination of any man for the
presidency by either party.
1t is apparent that the average
man suffers from the high cost of
living and from comparative impov-
erishment due to an unjust concen-
tratiOn of wealth for which the policy
of protective tariff taxation is chiefly
responsible, directly or indirectly. 1t
is evident that we should throw down
the challenge to each branch of the
party of protection to defend that
policy.
The signs of the times indicate that
protective tariff taxation is passing
and that it richly deserves to pass
quickly. 1t is unjust morally, I'M
sound economically, and indefensible
legally. 1t has debauched elections
and corrupted legislatures. 1t has
increased the cost of living by destroy
| ing competition from abroad needed
to check the greed of trusts and COM
bines bred during the last fifteen or
twenty years under its corrupting
influence. 1t has deprived the average
man of his just share of the wealth
he helped to create by taxing his food
clothing and shelter, and it has
brought that condition predicted in
1873 by the great Chief Justice Ryan
wherein organized wealthis marching
mot for economic conquest but for
political power"
With the cost of living advancing
faster than the price of labor, and
with the consumer paying war prices
for the things he needs, the issue of
1912 is so great that it rises mountain
high above the affiliation Of the
average man with any party. The
greatest good to the greatest number
is the proposition upon which Jefferson
built our party, and upon that propo-
sitiOn rests the constitution of the
Republic, and no tariff, if avOwedly
for the purpose of protective tariff
Taxation, can be supported in any
court because it is special privilege
for the few at the expense of the
multitude to which the average man
belongs, and because it is in conflict
with the constitution under which we
live.
The field is fertile and the OppOr-
tunity is here. The intelligence:and
independence of the people were never
so high. Let us emulate the example
of the great Tilden in 1876 and in a
campaign of education upon this
momentous issue carry the banner of
democracy to victory.

his-his name is A. L. Garford of
Elyria. He was quoted as saying
that he was going to Chicago to take
part in the program meeting. He
comes out in denial and says: "It
has been my impression that the Chi
.cago conference is likely to degener-
ate into plain LaFollette boom and
| want no connection whatever with
such a movement. The Wisconsin
senator is one man who can not have
my support under any circumstances
or conditions. His associates are at
tempting to grab the progressive
movement for their own selfish pOliti-

nor sympathy with the scheme"
