The Canny Scott.

Andy Carnegie has lately given
Sl0,000,000 for the promotion of inter-
national peace. Later still he has
announced his willingness to have the
Panama canal fortified. Some worthy
people have thought him inconsistent.
Let us see.
The lowest estimate of the cos5 of
fortifcationis$ $50, 600, 600 and S., 00C 600
for maintenance. As head of the bill
lion and half dollar steel trust he is
in command of the most important
materials for the Notifications, which
he can sell at his own prices. His
recent peace gift would look small be-
side the profits he would receive from
the fortication. He would have
money to burn. Andy is cannie
Scott
Why should we not fortify it? Be-
cause under the laws of war as fixed
by the Hague conference less than
four years ago, unfortified coast
places cannot be bombarded. War
ships could not lie off the isthmian
cities, Panama and Colon, and shell
them. 1t would be an act forbidden
to the forces of all civilized nations.
Lack of fertilization would be one Of
the best means of protecting the
canal zone.
The United States are bound to
England by solemn treaty obligations
that the canal shall always be open to
British warships in times of peace or
war.
The Suez canal was neutralized by
England the nation that built it.
The strait of Magellan is neutraliZed,
and the nter-Parliamentary union
last year declared itself in favor Of
the naturalization of all inter-oceanic
waterways.
There is no more reason for fortifi-
cations at Panama, than along our
Canadian boundary.
Switzerland was neutraliZed by the
| congress of Vienna in 1915 and has
remained secure amid all the up
heavals in Europe. Belgium's indie
pendence and safety exist by reason
of like guaranty. The neutraliza-
ton of the Panama canal would be
the best guaranty of its safety, and it
| would cost nothing.
Andy's greed got away with his
judgment when he gave his approval
to the project of fortifying the canal.

A LONG HAUL.

In our ''old time" items last week
we mentioned the fact that Anton
Dern had been given the Job in 1871
of hauling a three and one-half ton
safe from the nearest railroad point
to this city, to be put in the county
treasurer's Office. We have since had
d conversation with Mr.. Dern on the
subject and he remembers the event
well. The county board agreed to
pay him 5000 for the job. Taking
four teams and six men with him he
started out for Berlin one day, that
city then being the nearest railroad
point. He got the safe loaded on a
wagon and started. Before he was on
the road long he began to experience
trouble, and when he reached Wau-
paca he got stalled and returned to
Wausau. Meeting members of the
county board he informed them that
he had an elephant on his hands, and
tried to back out of his contract. He
had paid the freight charges on the
safe and the wages of his hired help.
He offered TO forfeit all this if the
board would let him out of the con-
tract. The board members held a
consultation and it was agreed 70
raise the contract price to $500 and
he was prevailed upon to 60 back and
make another effort. The trip was
he worst he ever made he says. The
rO,. IS were in bad shape and there
were no substantial bridges in those
days. In crossing one bridge the
planking began to crackle, but he put
the whip to the horses and crossed
safely, but the weight of the safe anC
wagon broke every plank in the
bridge. Several times he got stuck
on sand roads and extricated the
wagon by the use Of jack screws anC
tackle blocks.
The safe was considered a very
large one in those days, and it hello
Marathon county's moneys a great
many years. 1t was later sold to the
late Fred Rietbrock and was taken tt
Athens.

The Y. NJ. G. A. basket ball team
returned this morning from trip to
Waukesha where it played Carroll
college. The game was fast and
holly contested event. Wausau ex-
pected a rough game so was prepared
to meet whatever came ist way.
From the first blow of the referees
whistle the "Y" boys were on the
job, holding the score in the first half
to 14-12 in favor of the Y team. End
half our men came back with win
ming spirit and displayed fine team
work. The Carroll guards were unable
to follow the fast pass work of the
local forwards, which is shown by the
score this half 22-15 with only three
free throws. The Y boys are playing
some good ball this year and deserve
better support from the basket bal
fans.
Next game will be with Stevens
Point Normal here Feb. 10th; follow

About Larger Wausau.'

Unwise enthusiasm has led a local
paper to declare several times that
Wausau has had all along 'the best
drinking water in the state" Such
statements only hinder people from
accepting the truth as such, when it
is told. We had, years ago, as good
water as could be found in the state,
and we are now on the eve of having
that great blessing again. But we
have suffered from bad drinking water
for number of years, as we Wausau
people all know. There is enough OF
truth that can be told about Wausau,
to satisfy any one who wants to
change his home to the city of Wis
conSin which has at the present time
the best prospect of future growth
and prosperity of any Wisconsin city,
all things health, beauty of environ
ment, schools, churches, and honesty
of government-conSi One or
two other cities may get ahead of us
during the next ten years IN some
one of these matters, but not one can
get far ahead of us, and if all matters
are considered, we shall average up
better than any one of them, if we
try.
However, we shall not win this dis
tinction unless we try for it. The
day has passed when the best located
or circumstanced city has sure
thing. We have got all we can from
that item-which may be described
as good luck" Municipal grolCth has
become business, and business does
not prosper without advertising. We
must not any longer depend upon
people happening to find out about
the advantages of Wausau. We must
make things happen. Our business
men must take hold of this matter in
8 business like way, and every citizen
must help all in his power. n per-
sistent push, with eyerybody'S should
er to the wheel is going TO be indis-
penSible.

Naval Strikers

While the always corrupt Roman
empire was most corrupt, body of
soldiers Was organized whose especial
duty it was to guard the person of
the reigning emperorer. They were
given double pay and the rank of
centurions. Thus pampered, they
wanted more, and took it-deposed
emperorers who disobeyed them,
elected emperorers Of their own choice,
or auctioned off the crown to the high
est bidder. In fact they governed the
empire during the greater part of
two centuries. If the emperorer re-
fused their demands they struck"
A few years ago the troops upon a
Russian battleship in the Black sea
struck. They killed or imprisoned
their officers, took possession of the
ship, bombarded some ports, got what
they wanted for while, but as the
remainder of the navy which was ex-.
pected to join in the strike did not do
so, this solitary crew found them
selves too weak to carry out their pur-
pose, and finally came to an under
standing with the government that if
they would abandon their ship leav-
ing it whole, they might emigrate
without molestation, which they did.
Quite recently the Portuguese navy
went on strike for arrears of pay
and other matters; they had their
government entirely at their mercy
and got what they wanted.
Still more recently the major por-
ton Of the Brazilian navy went on
strike, chiefly on account of cruelty
OF their officers. They killed the of
ticers, took possession of the warships,
bombarded Rio Janeiro, the capital,
and had the republic at their mercy.
They were foolish enough, however,
to accept promises from the govern
ment of better behavior, and of good
treatment, and upon such promises
they surrendered their ships, and
themselves. The government broke
its promises and put every one of
them to death
These facts teach three important
lessons:
First a lesson to governments, that
what has been done so often bynavies
on strike can be done again and will
be when occasions arise.
Second a lesson to governments that
when navies do go on strike there is
no way of protection against them
but that of trickery and deceit as prac-
ticed by the Brazilian government.
Third lesson to striking sailors
never again to make the mistake the
Brazilian strikers made, never again
to surrender.
And out of all these lessons a new
light is thrown upon an old question;
that the people who pay for navies
and support them have been asking;
These navies are not after all real
protection, or are they real danger,
or, if both, which are they chiefly ?
If land soldiers go on strike, volun-
teers will be found in plenty to take
their place and protect good govern
ment. But navy is different. 1t
could have its will before another
navy could be manufactured. Be
sides, another navy could not be man.

Boys.

Some one advertises in local paper
for IAN Office boy who will go without
being wound up" Whatever may be
inferred from this, as an expression
of opinion concerning the average
boy, the fact is that there is no other
class of humans that will furnish so
large a percentage OF individuals who
enjoy being busy as can be found
among our boys. The average boy
the normal boy-is not only wound
up so as to go, but he is SO wound up
that if you put him where ne C410oU
go and keep going he becomes ae.- IL
lied. Hence boys make excellent
workers in factories where they can
work right along, but poor hands at
employments where they get few
odd jobs to do during the day, and
spend the greater part of their time
in sitting around, waiting for the
next call upon them, which is the
sort of service expected from the
Office boys, bell boys and messenger
boys. 1t is not at all because they
are naturally inclined to idleness, it
is just because they are the reverse of
this, paradoxical though it may seem
upon the surface. There is just
enough of enforced idleness in their
employment to demoralize them. The
less of a success a boy is at that kind
OF task, the better he will be at one
that keeps him on the go. Periods of
waiting, with nothing to do and no
liberty to derive a task for himself,
are unnatural and repulsiye to the
average boy; there is nothing that
will spoil good boy quicker. With
nothing at all in the way of work re-
quired of him, he will find tasks for
himself, but the Office boy cannot dc
this, because he is liable to be called
any moment and must hold himself
in readiness. And to hold himself in
readiness is thing which no boy can
do well, and which if he tries it long,
will unfit him temporarily for any
| kind of work.

ANOTHER CONCERT.
The Choral Society Plans for Another
Concert Will Hold Social Next
Monday Evening.

The regular rehearsal Of the Choral
society was held last evening and
plans for the future were determined
upon. 1t was decided to give another
grand concert of a distinctly bright
and popular nature in about eight
weeks. Aside from some special fea-
lures to be announced later the pro-
gram will consist of some of the grand
choruses from opera which appeal to
the popular taste, such as the Anvil
chorus from II Trovatore in which the
anvils will be used as in the opera,
the beautiful Bridal chorus from
Lohengrin, which will be given
in its entirety with an excerpt
for orchestra from the same
opera. The ever popular Choir
uses from Lucia and Traviata
will also be given, and several of the
old songs in choral form, dear to the
hearts of every music lover. There
will be, too, male voice chorus and a
humorous number for full chorus is
in preparation on the theme of Old
King Cole with his pipe and bowl and
his fiddlers, his pipers and his drum
merS three.
Onnex Monday evening the society
will enjoy social evening in the hall
over the First National bank. After
a short rehearsal at 7:45 the rest of
the evening will be spent in social
meeting with refreshments and enter
tanning features.
All singers who wish to join the
choral society for its next concert
will be welcome.
