Good Times in Wisconsin"

From the Washington Post:
Saturday 10. 1914
IF there is any dissatisfaction
with the administration of the
ntry's affairs at Washington. it
has not manifested itself in Wiscon-
sin, said John Walsh, of Washburn
Wis. business man, and brother
of Senator Walsh. of Montana, at
the Shoreham. Mr.. Walsh seconded
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson
at the Baltimore convention and
yesterday called at the White
House, where he conferred with
Secretary Tumulty.
''There is no sign of hard times in
my state that is visible to the naked
eye," continued M. Walsh.
Everybody is doing well and every
body is happy. President Wilson is
more popular now than the day he
was elected. The people in west
Wisconsin. as well as elsewhere, are
impressed with the intelligent
actions Of the man in the White
House. | have not been mixing up
il politics to any considerable ex-
tent recently, but | am sure that If

the denomination of Mr.. Wilson,
the support of the united Democracy
of Wisconsin will be behind him. T"

A team owned by Ebrn Olson OF
Port Wing, who has The contract foI
putting i'll the approaches to the long
bridge at the head Of the bay, was
drowned on Tuesday night, when an
attempt was made to cross the bay
on the ice. The driver had been to
this city to get supply of feed and
other provisions, sleigh being used
to carry the load. When long trussle
was reached sleighing became poor
and the team was driven out on the
ice. When just out from Barksdale
the ice gave way and the team went
through and was drowned. The
team was valuable one and the loss
was hard one.
For some time the head of the bay
has been frozen over and it was
thought that the ice was of sufficient
thickness to carry the weight of the
team and the load. 1t is only dur
ing the past few days that the bay
has been frozen over between here
and Ashland.

fine this fall fer cutting down the

Want Early Closing

An attempt is being by the clerks
of the city to have the business
houses close at an earlier hour each
evening during the winter months
and good many of the merchants
favor the plan. The clerks believe
that during the winter months when
business is always little quite that
people can be accommodated if the
stores are kept open evenings on
one or two nights each week. and
the rest of the time close at $50
o'clock in order to give the clerks
some time for themselves. Under
the present plan the stores remain
open until all hours of the evening
and the clerks do not have much
time to themselves.
A good many of the people of the
city favor the plan of early closing
and it seems that there should not be
much objection from the merchants.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 13. Henry E.
Roethe of Fennimore, three times a

His platform is economy and

mission" every bill carrying an
appropriation not absolutely needed
every fool bill that reaches the
executive chamber, every bill
making larger appropriations to the

bridges, every bill that tends to
lesson home rule and centralize
everything at the state capital.

ONE EVIL OF HIGH PRICED
LAND.


Farmers boys do not see their
way clear to buy land at 500
an acre. They are doubtful
about being able to keep inter-
est and taxes paid on land at
this price, even though they
could pay half the amount at
once. The very prosperity which
has overtaken this generation Of
farmers and landowners has dis
couraged the oncoming genera
ton, and the result is more land
ownership by nonfarmers, more
farm tenants and fewer people
on the land.-Country Gentle
man.

DAILY COMMENTS ON PEOPLE AND THINGS

Business wants congress to let It
alone.
That's all any VioIator, wants the
law to do-let him alone.

ton from dishonest business quite as
much as the people do.

NOW the HlNSSIlSdLOIS wait WV
900 more to spend investigating vice.
But why all this investigation?
We know vice is there. and we have
been investigating it for years and
years and years.
Can't we do anything to it but in
vestigate it and talk about it?
U. S.. supreme judges have given
themselves a vacation of over three
months.
In the meantime, Iitigants can
wait. Pretty soft for the judges, but
then they have no boss.
Getting back to vice again, how
would it do to get after the cadets
who make business of having wo-
men sell themselves and give the
money to their masters? j.
If man ran into you with an au-
tomobile, would you want the man or
the auto pinched?
Women who work" for those in
famous cadets are in much the posi-
ton of the auto. The cadet is the
driver.
If BARRIERS want a living wage
they'll have to organize and get it for
themselves.
1t isn't the practice for employers
to voluntarily hand anything to I'M
organized workmen.
And it's mighty hard to get laws
passed handing you anything.
Why not extend the postal savings
banks and let the people put their
money where it will be safe?
If you borrow from a bank you
must put up perfectly good Collateral,
so the bank will be sure to get its
money back.
Why not make 'em guarantee bank
deposits, so YOU will get your money
back when you deposit it with them?
What's good for the gander ought
to be good for the goose.
We still think the best time to me-

MYSTERY OVER DISAPPEARANCE
OF MARJORIE BALDWIN

That Marjorie Baldwin, pretty IT.
year-old daughter of a real estate
broker, is being held prisoner by a
gang of West Side boy "toughs" was
the theory advanced by her mother
today.
The Baldwin girl disappeared last
Wednesday night while preparations
were being made to send her to
Wisconsin seminary, and detectives
have been unable to find her. Two
small boys told Mrs. Baldwin they
saw two youths leading Marjorie
through a passageway between two
buildings on the West Side Sunday
night. The older boys threatened to
cut their threats if they called the
police, they said.

Washington, June 23.-Judge En-
cry Speer of the United States Dis
trict Court at Macon, Ca, was Sc
verely arraigned by the House judi
ciary committee today for misusing
his high Office, but he was spared an
Impeachment trial because the COM
mite believed there was not sufficient
evidence of wrongdoing to convict
him.
The committees report requested
the House to drop the charge.
Rep. Volstead of Minnesota, Re-
publican, and minority member of the
misunderstanding committee, sub
mitted a separate report generating
Speer. Reps. Webb and Fftzhenry
signed the majority report.
