WHO'S THE CRATER?
SLUR LAST WEEK
PROVES BOOMERANG
BUDGET PRINTED CITY BALLOTS
Comparison of Present Prices with
Those of One and Two
Years Ago

The Journal was little previous
last week in informing its readers that
it was so busy printing the county
and city ballots-t the News Budget
underbid the Journal last Friday for
city ballots and therefore changed that
program. The Journal also used that
dirty word ''grafter" in connection
with our bid for the county ballots.
The term CRATER" we understood
was tabooed some years ago by the
Booster Club, " but since its secretary
has dug it up, let US see.
The Journal bid the county ballots in
this year at $22, for $500 Superintend-
ent ballots and 1900 Judicial ballots.
The ballots were 7xll inches. The
News-Budget's bid was 500. Two
years ago the Journal printed the same
ballots. There were then 7700 Super
intendent ballots and 4700 Judicial bal
lots-15O0 more than this year, and
the size was 10x12 There was no bid
ding at that time. The price was then
$86. 80-nearly four times as much for
practically the same job. Who's a
CRATER?
This year the city ballots were let
to the lowest bidder for the first time,
a law to this effect having been passed
in 1907. The Journals bid was $3.50.
Last year Ladysmith voted on the Ii
cense question, which necessitated
small extra ballot. The price
charged by the "official paper" was
$28-again nearly four times the
amount for practically the same job.
Who's CRATER.
The Journal holds its title ''The
official city paper" by virtue of a res
olution railroaded through the common
council two years ago, after the News
Budget man had appeared before the
council and asked permission to bid for
the city printing.
1t is not probably that the reading
public is greatly interested in these
personal matters, but the News-Budget
man claims the same right that he will
cheerfully accord any other citizen who
is publicly accused of graft.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Large Attendance and Instructive
Program

Program
The County Teachers Institute held
last week in the new county training
school building was pronounced by
some of the teachers to be the best
they ever attended. County Superin-
tendent Mackin has expressed himself
as being well pleased with the institute
as the teachers have been enthused
with new spirit for their work, and he
hopes to have teachers meeting in
some other town this spring.
Visiting teachers and conductors
were much pleased with the new build
ing, which is considered very conven-
lent and we'll suited to Training school
purposes. Besides the speakers whose
names were on the program as printed
last week, Supt. Gotham and o. E.
Rice gave the institute interesting and
inspiring talks.
Conductor ]. A. Merril's principal
address was Conservation of our Nat
ural Resources, which was particularly
applicable to this part of the state be-
cause of our undeveloped condition
and new soil The subject was pre-
sented in a striking manner and the
audience was impressed with the i'm
portance of using our wealth to advan-
tage. Mr.. Merrill's other subjects
were well presented and the result will
be better teaching in our schools.
Prin. Clark of EauCiaire compared
conditions few years ago with those
of to-day and showed how the school
work yet can be improved. He placed
on exhibit some work done in the coun-
try schools in his county that might be
done in any country school, School ex-
hibits help greatly in giving teachers
new ideas.
One of the most helpful lessons of
the session was given by Prin. r. H.
Burns of our Training School. Mr.
Burns sterling qualities have won for
him great esteem and the teachers
who come to hear him are not dis
appointed in getting the kind of in
struction they need for the school
room and for general conduct.
The teachers of this county show an
earnest appreciation of the great work
they have to do, which is a satisfaction
to the patrons who realize that our
schools are the chief hopes of the fu-
ture citizenship of our country.

Farm Home Burned

The home of Perry Bell and family
five miles northwest of this city was
destroyed by fire, together with nearly
all their household goods, Saturday
morning. Mr.. Bell was away from
home at the time and when the fire
was discovered it had gained such
headway that the family had to leave
the house at once. The origin is not
known. The building was part frame
and part log. There was no insurance.
The Bells are among the old settlers
of this vicinity. A subscription paper
for their benefit was circulated Mon
day by John Diamond.

this time to do something that will be
of indescribabe value to the state of
Wisconsin. | have coined a slogan re-
Gently. 1t is, wisconsin the Play
Ground of the Middle West" Look
around you. In the East, New Eng
land is the playground; in the noun
tains, Colorado; on the Coast, Califor-
MIA; and we have a state that by its
geographic location and topographic
outline was designed by nature for the
great playground of the middle west.
Get good roads in this state and open
up the wonderful beauties of this
state to the millions of people in the
middle west, and you will add thou
sands and tens of thousands to your
population.
The problem is broader than econ
omics. In has been said that a road is
the first sign of civilization and a good
roadway is the advance of civilization.
After good roads come industry and
business. After them comes education
and social and economic life. The road
brings something more than things you
can see with the eye or weigh with
the hand. 1t brings broader, better
and higher culture; a stronger and
| firmer Amercanism.

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM
"WISCONSLN IS PLAYGROUND
OF MIDDLE WEST"
EXPERT ROAD BUILDERS NEEDED
Address by f. A. Cannon of Milwau-
kee at Highway Commissioners
Meeting at Madison

AS have been somewhat interested
along these lines and have been look
ing into the problem of roads In this
country, trust that my remarks will
be rightly received.
1t seems to me that you are en-
gagged in discussing a very important
problem, that you should not take ac-
ton until after the most careful study
of these bills. This road problem is
really as old as civilization, it is the one
great obstacle of overcoming the dis
tance between man and man. This
has brought about the invention of the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone
and it is strange that although we have
been benefited 50 wonderfully along
those lines, the obstacle is still with US

summer. | was in New York and
Massachusetts and looked into the
good roads problems there to see how
they handled it. | went to Iowa and

the problem Of supervision was put up
to me. The secret of the whole thing
is expert supervision. In building

your money. In the state of Wlscon-
sin, as | understand it, from all sources
we are spending two and half million
dollars a year on the building and main
tenance Of roads. With that expend-
iture we have not been getting the
value of our money because we have
not been getting expert supervision.
We should have the best engineering
advice and supervision.

payers to get expert engineering super

taxes you pay you will not get the
worth of your money. Get the best
man on your job. Hire what expert
engineers are needed. The road is an
expert engineering proposition and in
building road under their advice you
are getting the worth of your taxes.
If you build these under advice that is
not capable you will not be securing
the worth of your taxes. The great
difficulty in many parts is not that we
have not spent money enough, but we
have not spent the money wisely, and
if we are to spend it wisely, it is on the
advice of men who are experienced in
that line, who are devoting their whole
lives to these problems.
