REFUSED TO BE A CANDIDATE.

The following article is taken from
the Courier of Berkeley, Cal, which
is of much interest to number of
Wausau relatives and friends of Mrs.
Elizabeth Witter, a resident of this
city for many years
''The refusal of Mrs. Elizabeth Wit
ter, who is acting on the Bo ard of
Education by appointment, following
the resignation of Mrs. Elinor Car
Isle, to be candidate for election for
the expired term OF Mrs. Carlisle. is
disappointment to large majority
of the voters, regardless of party
utilization
Had she been willing to enter the
field two candidates who have entered
this week would not have come out.
The divided interests of the city
would have been united in the endor-
sement of Mrs. Witter as candi-
date for the office of school director.
Her business ability, her close afilia-
tions with the schools of Berkeley,
the quality of her womanhood, and
the poise and breadth of mind,
eminently fitted her, not only to take
the position on the board, but to
unite the factions which have caused
discord in the past.
"Mrs. Witter consented to act on
tIa hoo ri until tho oOpoioor olo.@;o,,
would choose her successor, but be-
cause the pressure of other claims
would prevent her deyoting to the
position, the time and attention she
considers that position demands.
Mrs. Witter states that she has bus
mess plans which will require her I'M
divided attention for some months
and has in prospect trip that will
necessitate her absence from Berkeley
as we'll
Mrs. Witter has business interests
in Berkeley which she has cared sue
cessfully for a number of years. She
has been tried out as business
woman and has proven her worth in
the commercial world. She has sent
family of children to the Berkeley
schools and through those children
has been put in close touch with the
schools and the university She is
woman of broad social as well as COM
mercial interests. Affiliated by birth,
education and social position, with
what is termed the college set, she
is also in close sympathy with those
whose lives have been along other
lines and in heart and mind responds
not to class or party, but to humanity,
justice, truth, common sense and fair
play.
'At time when the desire to get
together on essentials is uppermost
in the minds of all, it is to be regret
ted that the woman on whom so many
interests were agreed was not free to
devote her time to the city. No one
questions Mrs. Writer'S decision in
matter, but the feeling of disappoint-
ment and regret is very general

PERHAPS the greatest single blow
which has ever befallen the Mormon
Church is the recent uncontroyertible
exposure of one of their 'sacred
books" Less than two years ago,
Brigham Roberts, the well-known
Mormon elder, in speakingo of Mormon
sacred writing, said; "We proclaim
it true and the world has the right to
test it to the uttermost in every way"
Bishop f, S. Spalding, of the Episco-
pal Diocese of Utah, has sometimes
been considered as taking too lenient
an attitude toward Mormonism, but
from this same friendly viewpoint he
has recently investigated with unusu
al thoroughness the authenticity of
the Mormon book entitled ''The Pearl
of Great Price," or 1.-THE Book of
Abraham" which Joseph Smith
claimed to have translated from the
Egyptian hieroglyphics on the papyrus
found in the wrappings of a mummy
which he purchased seventy years
ago At that date, the Egyptian
hieroglyphicS, found in all mummy
wrappings, had not been deciphered
by even the greatest scholars. Now
TO then oaey are an open book, and
DR.. Spalding has secured the opinion
of the most distinguished Egyptian
scholars of Oxford, London, Chicago,
New York, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh,
Berlin and Munich concerning this
Mormon translation. With one &C
cord they declare it absolutely false,
and show it to be nothing more than
the wild fabrication of an unprinci-
pied man. The details of these find
ings are exceedingly interesting as
they appear i'm the Christian Herald
of January %, 1913, and, whether
read by Mormon or Gentle, admit of
no denial. Such evidence as this of
lack of integrity at the base of Nor
monism should be given to every
school teacher who may soon be in
attendance at the National Teachers
Convention at Salt Lake City. Do
your part TO spread the information.

TURKISH PEOPLE
 IN DIRE DISTRESS
RED cRoss SENDS OUT APPEAL FOR AID TO KEEP NoN.coM-
 BATANT FROM STARVING.

Constantinople, Jan. 27.--The Con stantinopIe chapter of the American Red Cross society has just cabled to the National Headquarters at Wash ington, an appeal in benalf of the suffering non-combatants of the war signed by United States Ambassador w II. Rockhill, Dr. Caleb cajes, ant others.
 Seyenty-fiye percent of the refugees are women and children. Worn out by their hardships, bereavements, ex- posture and starvation, smany have died in the past two months and un- less these distressed people can be aelped through this winter, the nor. tality among them will be appalling.
 Large sums must be immediately obtaIned from Europe and America if these people are not to sta-ye.
 When the war first broke out, hun. dreds Of thousands Of Moslem in. habitants of Macedonia and Therace fled, abandoning their homes and al that could not be carried. They were transported as fast as possible into Asia Minor and scattered among the villages.
 Now that the snows of winter have come, their condition is heartrend- ing.
 The Anatolian peasants are little better off than tney are and the Ot toman government is altogether lack ing .l funds and can do nothing.
 The Red Cross organizations work ing in Turkey have co-operated il forming an effective organization and the valuable experience of American missionaries in the interior has be0n enlisted.
 The relief work Is conducted on the principle, first of relieving i'm mediate necessities and second, in assisting the refugees to self suN port at the earliest possible moment; but tAe resources of these societies have been so heavily taxed that their funds will be exhausted before ths middle of February.
 It is hoped that this appeal vii reach all parts Of the United State and that the churches, charitable or ganizations and newspapers will co operate with the Red Cross society in relieving as great suffering and as crying and immediate need as ha' ever been known.
