NOW FOR THE CONVENTIONS.

The democrats republicans, prohlbltlonlsts ana
social democrats will meet in conventions IN Madison
on Tuesday Sept. H. to formulate their various
platforms and elect members of their state central
committees In each of these conventions the
nominees for senate and assembly, the hold-over
senators and state officers are accredited delegates
It is hoped that the democrats will do the right
thing at its convention especially as the party has
made such an excellent start in the nomination OF
Judge Karel 1t should throw the republican tax
law into the scrap heap and not leave one vestlge
to contaminate the balance of the platform. The
leaders of the party should while at Madison arrange
the coming campaign to the end that the income
tax law shall be made an issue by every man run
ming for Office from coroner up to governor. 1t
should be made fight fully as aggressive as that
against the Infamous Bennett law bill, and if this is
done democratic victory will be certain with such
man as Judge Karel to lead the fight
The democrats should not allow the socialstic
republicans to drag them into placing plank into
their platform against the improvement of water
powers 1t is well for legislatures to hold the power
of permitting dams to be constructed on streams
upon application, also to say what kind OF dams
shall be built to protect the lives of our people and
their property but to confscate dams, or tax them
out of existence is blight upon the progress of our
state it is worse than socalisticit is nothing short
of anarchism
Another thing our democratic friends should re-
member: The recent contest at the primaries was
not to drive democrats from theirparty, but to give
the majority the choice of who should be nominated
for the various state officers.

DIDN'T LIKE THE FAIR.
EDITOR PILoT.

EDITOR PILOT:
The WauSau Record-Herald COM
pany seems to be at outs with the
the county fair management, but be
that as it may, it shows scurilous
nature Inventing its spite on the
county fair. Generally, the fair was
as good a one as could be expected
this year considering conditions.
AS the old woman said when she
kissed her COW, everybody to their
own liking" SO it Is with the R.-H.
manager. He would rather follow the
dictates of some member of his COM
pany than to tell of conditions as
they really exist. -
Every body knows that the county
fair was a good one this year, also that
it would have been much better had
not the rains caused such destruction
in the county. 1t is easy to be fault
finder, small mind can do that. But
the county fair management will
brush off the troublesome fly and keep
right on doing business.
FAIR PLAY.

Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

f. w. Brandenburg of Lacrosse,
the bows new work director at the
Y. NJ. G. A. arrived in the city last
Monday. He has had large exper-
fence in boys work while attending
the La Crosse Normal school. lie
was one of the assistants III the La
Crosse association and was in all of
the activities especially of the boys
department. The local association is
planning to put special stress on The
work among boys, including the work
ing boys in factories and shops be
tween the ages of IA TO Is, grade
school and high school boys. Mr..
Odgen feels that large part OF aSSo-
citation work should be for boys, as 1t
is during the formative period OF LIE
that the greatest influence either for
evil or for good can be brought TO
bear. &. p. Odgen in speaking OF the
work quotes the following: 1T Is
better to provide fence at the top
of the precipice than an ambulance
at the BOTTOM" meaning that prop
er start and guidance vt the begin
ming of boys life is better than re-
formation after the harm has been
done. The fact that the present gen.
eral secretary has been u successful
boys, work director and is thereby
capable of handling that class OF
work coupled with the ability or Mr..
Middleton and Mr.. Brandenburg be-
speakes a highly successful gear IN
the boys department. This does not
mean that work among the seniors
and business men will be neglected,
on the other hand plans are under
way for strong work in all these de
yartments as will be seen from later
announcements.
