in the armament and use OF mounted
troops by the great military powers
The winter Of 1S63-64 brought little
rest 10 the cavalry. While the artillery
and infantry were comfortably quartered,
the cavalry was ''hutted" three miles In
front of the infantry picket lines. and
part was distributed as escorts and or
derlies at infantry headquarters Al
though the infantry maintained a picket
line of it's own, where it was useless, the
cavalry compelled to keep up a

PRESIDENT TAFT
SPEAKS TO BANKERS
There Is No Legislation So Important

New York, June 23--"There is no leg

litical character, that at all equals in

posed in the national monetary com

So declared President Taft last night
to a big gathering of bankers and men
of prominence in the financial and bus
mess world at the banquet of the New
York State Bankers association at Man
haitian Beach,
Mr.. Tafts address was mainly devoted
to a careful and coherent elucidation of
the Aldrich national reserve association
plan, which he warmly commended as
providing for "the establishment of the
1000 national banks of this country on
a representative Republican basis" He
declared it "a careful and well drawn
plan devised by a non-partisan commits
sion to avoid the concentration of con-
trolling influence either in Wall street
or in Washington and expressed his be-
lief that the plan in its general features
ought to commend itself to "the whole
business community of the country tho
farmers and wage earners as well as to
the banking, railroad, commercial and
manufacturing interests.
President Taft later spoke briefly at
the banquet Of the Canadian club, at
another of the Beach hotels.
tie said he remembered with pleas
ure his vacation in Canada, adding "and
am looking forward to a prospect
near at hand when ] can resume my
Canadian residence" A ripple of mirth
broadened to roar as the president
paused People talk about annexing
Canada to the United States or the
United States to Canada he continued
at is entirely unnecessary; ell that we
ought to do is to cultivate as fully and
completely as possible, good ueighborly
relations. The closer we come together,

window to the yeranada amid laughter
and cheering.

Total .... $l,7s0,oOO $045,s75

The total amount Of premiums on
this property for the fve-year period
amounts to S27 ,234, but the difference
in seme instances between stock and
mutual rates and return of premiums
viii reduce this somewhat. Mr.. Hayes
suggests that at the end OF one year
one-ffth of the insurance shall be
cancelled and re-insured and that this
policy be followed until the Insurance
is distributed on an annual payment
basis, thus avoiding a large payment
every fifty years and no payments for
four consecutive years.
The new rates amounts to 81 SO on
thousand for the fiye-year period,
whereas the state has been paying
an average rate of 50 SO ON thous-
and This rate on the former aggre-
gate insurance Of S945.S75 amounts
to total premiums Of S24,s76 Thus
the net additional cost for premiums is

IN force is increased $S34,l25. Some
Of the old rates per thousand were
very high, the fair ground, the camp

EQUIPPED TO TRAIN TEACHERS
Principal Burns Appeals to Young
Men to Choose Teaching as
Profession

All County Training Schools are main
tanned jointly by the state and the
county for the purpose of furnishing
the means of instructing and training
young persons to become teachers for
the public schools, and particularly for
the schools in the country districts, and
small villages. 1t is thirteen years
since the first schools of this kind were
established, and with the opening of
the next school year there will be
twenty-six of them in operation in the
state.
The Rusk County school was estab-
lished nearly four years ago. During
this time fifty-three persons have been
graduated from it. While by far the
large majority of all graduates are
residents of Rusk County, still the
counties of Clark, Chippewa, and O.
Media each have one or more resident
teachers who have completed the
course in our school. 1t has been the
uniform experience of all graduates
that positions have been available to
them without much delay.
The demand for young men as teach
ers in the public schools is far in ex-
cess of the supply. In our own coun-
ty,,> in other counties in Wisconsin,
and in other states the calls for men
teachers in the country schools cannot
be filled. The question may be asked,
Why this dearth of men in our schools?
Two valid general reasons seem to bere-
sponsible, viz, that most young men
think they can earn as much in other
occupations. The moral ideals of
many are such that they enjoy partici-
pating in many personal habits which
are condemned by public opinion as
improper for man who is dealing with
young life, and who is instrumental in
large measure in forming and fixing
the habits which are to become the
masters of the children under their
charge. The young man, who at six
teen, has the habit of smoking, spend
ing his odd hours about saloons and
gambling houses; whose conversation
is largely punctuated with profanity,
and whose mind feasts on low and inde-
cent stories, is already untitled and
disqualified for the work of the public
schools.
There are young men, and boys ap-
preaching manhood, whose ideals and
habits are such as to properly qualify
them for good work in the public
schools. To such wish to suggest
some of the things which they may
reasonably expect to attain, should
they spend the necessary time and
energy required to qualify for the work
of teaching. They will have a fair un-

The building known as No. Ill at the

last night. The alarm was sounded
about 7:30, when the building was dis
covered to be enveloped in flames.
The Fire Department responded prompt
ly, ran two lines of hose to the fire but
were too late to save anything but ad-
joining outbuildings. The property is
supposed to belong to woman in Min

some time. The fire may have been
started by tramps or some small boys.
