PROMPT MURDER TRIALS.

The prompt conviction Of five de-
PENDANTS in the RosenthaI murder
trials in New York should be a les

For every hundred murders in the
United States, only one murderer re

In a recent year Chicago had 1873 muir
ders, and but one legal execution.
Under these circumstances, the prof
ession Of gunman has seemed a rea-
sonably safe and substantial Occupa-
ton.
There was an inpeFiOus public de
mand that these men be quickly caugI
and that justice be promptly hand
ed out. Yet hundreds Of other muir
ders occur in New York and elsewhere
that are accepted as merely a neces-
sary inciden Of LIES passing bows
No red tape is cut, no legal techni-
caEties are submerged, but the ndo-
lent action Of public opinion.
It goes to show that crime OF dis
aster must have a spectacular and
theatrical quality to arouse public
feeling If 100 people are killed in a
railroad accident, the newspapers
print LA point headlines, and ora
tors pound the dust from the pulpits.
If 100000 people are killed by proven
table tuberculosis, the agitation is
confined to paid secretaries of chart
table societies.
There was one trial a few years a
go. in which an Indictment was set a
side because it named a certain date
when the crime was alleged to have
taken place. The date was correct.
But the Indictment ought to have
said: ION or about a certain date
instead of naming it directly. With
the hands of justiUe so tied, is it
any wonder that the Iyncher feels that
he is the only effective protection fol
life, property, and honor?

Who HAS Bic FEET

Who owns the big feet? The card
on the rubber says that the rubber
was found near James, the police
mans home. 1t don't say which
James, the east side James or the
west side James. Well, being news
paper people, We naturally wanted to
run it down and find out who had the
big feet. Having been around with
both the east side and west side
James, it was obviously that neither
of the blue coats We're guilty. A thot
occurred that if whoever owned the
big rubbers ever got cold feet the ice
trust would go cut of business. Well,
tracing it down, the conclusion was
that the owner of the feet was a Ste
vens Point girl and that many people
are afflicted that way in the Point
since their High school FOOT ball
team trimmed the Rapids boys. The
big rubber mentioned is on exhibit
ton in the North show window OF
the GIeue Bros. Shoe store.

SHALL OUR SCHOOLS

A meeting of the parents of High

was in response to letters sent out
by Prof. c. w. Schwede, superfnten-

that many large cities and more of
the smaller ones have opened their
school houses for social and civic
purposes. What do you think of O.
pening the cshoOI houses Of this city
for similar legitimate purposes? This
was followed by an invitation to at
tend the meeting.
Quite a number attended the meet
ing and a committee Of five composed
of two school teachers and three Of
the parents was appointed to meet
at the Wood County Bank Tuesday
and to formulate a petition to the
school board in regard to this matter
Another meeting will be held Friday

A WORD FOR THE CLERKS,

Nineteen hundred and twelve years
ago Christmas meant peace on earth
good will to men. 1t still means that
TO many people. But to many othres
it brings ill WILL bad temper, nerves,
worry and scurry.
You spend some time i'm the stores
the week before Christmas. In the
turmoil of tardy shopping your gifts
are likely to be misfits. Even if the.
prove acceptable, you have put new
wrinkles into the faces of girls, who
have tOiled long hours for days and
weeks at top speed. Query, how much
peace and good will has your gifts
added to the world?
The salespeople with whom you
come in contact are not all that your
shopping touches. There is the scral
bling army of expressmen and mail
clerks and carriers. There is the
pathetic underworld of workers in
the candy and notion factories, down
to the conscript bands of children
whose pabtering feet are drawn into
the whirl of the machine.
The world should have learned a
lot of things in 1912 years.
In most ways it has. When you
compare THE life of the Bethlehem
shepherd, under the starry sky and
the wind of the morning, with the
Christmas shop girl trying to wait
on a dozen snappish customers at
once, the shpeherd Of the year one
seems ito have Jared the better.
The plain fact is that during the
fortnight before Christmas thousands
of working people must suffer seri-
GUS INJURY to health, because of the
prevailing principle of never doing
today what you can put off until
tomorrow.
Why not buy your Christmas gifts
to-day, this week?
You will find fuller stocks. You
will find those stocks fresh. clean.
unhandled, unpawed. The merchant
Will shake hands with you and give
you intimate tips ON bargains. The
clerk will smile her sweetest.
Then you can say Merry Christmas
with a CHEEKY heart. You can feel
that you have done what you could
for a Christmas that shall be like that

BEING DRUNK ON PUCLIC
CONVEYANCE COSTS S29.75

Emil Kuhn was arrested Friday
morning by Chief of Police Gibson
charged with being drunk on a pub
lie conveyance. He was taken before
Justice B, L. Brown and paid a fine
and costs amounting to $29.75. The
complaint was made by Martin Kubis
lax, conductor on the street railway.
Kuhn boarded a car Wednesday
evening and refused to pay fare un-
til he had almost reached his desti-
nation. He was in a badly intoxicat-
ed condition and threatened the con-
ductor with his fists and used abu-
siVe language.
There Us a law which gives a CON
ductOr police power ON the car Oh
train on which he is employed. The
law also provides that intoxicated
persons shall not be CARRIED.

BIRON DAM TROUBLE.

Governor McGovern has ordered
legal proceedings started through the
Attorney Generals office that Will
probably stop the work at Biron.
This work has been going ON all sum
mer and the dixie ON either shore OF
the Wisconsin river is nearly com
pleted. The work ON the west end o.
the dam is completed, and consider
able work is completed on the east
end. Just why this work has pro
crossed thus far without interference
is what we wonder at Why stop tht
work now? What the legal rights
are under the Charter granted to the
Biron owners of this property when
they asked for the same we have no
knowledge, but We don't think this is
the proper time to make 4 test case.
We wonder if there is any politics
ut the bottom of this move?
The people Of Grand Rapids want
Biron built up and improved as it
has been doing in the past. Twenty
modern homes were rejected there
this summer. We understand thirty
more are likely to be erected as sooT
as the present improvements are
completed Further We understand
q beautiful avenue in front of these
homes is already ordered and the
trees to be set out this fall Why
allow anything to stop this progress

PREPARING To
BUILD GREEN.
WOOD CUT Of F

Persistent TumorS are in circula-
tioon that the 500 line railway is
preparing to build the proposed Green
wood cut off next spring. This cut
off Will extend from Chippewa Falls
To Greenwood thru the town Of Lud-
dtngton, Eau Claire county
1t has already been surveyed and
will cross the Chippewa river at II
vine below the Milwaukee railroad
bridge and then thru Lafayette and
a corner of South SigeL The renew
ed activity in Luddington real es-
tate gives credence to the rumor and
also the fact that the 500 line rail
road employees are buying lands along
the new right of way.
This cutoff will shorten the 500
line by about or 10 miles and will
avoid heavy grades between here and
Marshfield. By getting on the main
line of the 500, Greenwood will come
into its own and a hitherto .undeyeloI
ed section of this country will be
aided greatly. One heavy expense
will be the bridging of the Chippewa
river at Irvine The Greenwood cut
off has been In the general plans of
the 500 for shortening it's Chicago
branch for over two years and it is
believed that the actual work Will be
gin next spring.
This does not mean that the 500
will discontinue it's line to Stanley,
Owen and Abbottsford, but these
towns will be served as heretofore.
The Greenwood cut off will be used
mainly by the heavy freights. The
500 has practically pu- chased a new
right-of-way between Cadott and StaI
ley in order to get around Turner hill
west of Boyd. However, there may
be some delay in this work as the
right-of way was not fully purchased
owing to several farmers refusing
the terms and prices offered by the
500. However, most of this right-of
way was bought and then the 500 di,

ACTION TO BE
BROUGHT BY STATE
AGAINST C. R. PULP
& PAPER COMP ANY

The Railway Commission has reorpt
ed to Gov. McGovern. that ''The Eegis-
lature has not granted amy permits
sion to construct a dam in the Wis
consin river at the point of location
of the Biron dam other than that form
erly provided. We therefore deem it
advisable that action be taken at
once" The Governor has directed
that the facts in the case be for
maIly laid before the attorney general
and that he be authorized and in
structed to begin proceedings at once
ia restrain the owners from making
the contemplated raise in the height
of the dam. Permission to construct
dam across the Wisconsin river
was granted to Geo. S. Btron and
Laura Biron in 1899.
If the Investigation started by the
Governor following the report of the
commission results in stopping the
work at Biron, the Consolidated peo-
pie viii be out quite a sum of money
as considerable work has already
been done. It sunderstood that COM
