We are pleased to congratulate the
representative men and women OF
Color upon the splendid recognition
being given us by the Republican Par
ty through the State and County
Chairmen the Hon. Phillip B. Stewart
and George Steele. Much work on
the part of some of our best men had
to be exerted to convince them OF
the necessity of permanent organ
ization. and they finally gave recognl-
ton to our representatives on each
of the executive committees. Not only
that but they have provided for a
headquarters and have already put
nearly so people to work at wages
ranging from SO to IS per day.
Complaint has been made to us that
some of the big Negroes" when hired
to do canvassing work at a certain
wage per day (for 8 hours), were
found home making pies; doing wash
ing, some down shopping; yet drew
their days pay. The Star is against
this sort of practice and has pledged
itself to publish the names OF those
who "shirk" this time. There are too
many good honest people who Will
give value received for the chance to
work. Let us all be fair nd honest
and deliver the goods" because much
in the future depends upon our actlv-
ity and success. We thank the broad
hearted chairmen for their recogni-
ton and kindness.

SUDDEN DEATH
IN kILBOURN

Mrs. S. E. Wakefield has received a
telephone message stating that her
uncle, Thomas Gillespie, died unexpect-
edly at his home in Kilbourn from heart
disease.
Mr.. Gillespie was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, in January, 1881, came to this
country with his father in 1841, married
in Vermont, October 81, 1854, and came
to The pine woods cf Wisconsin in 1857.
For many years he resided in the town
of Dellona, Sauk county, and from
that town was twice elected to the
lower house of the state legislature.
Mr.. and and Mrs. Gillespie lived to-
gether for more than sixty years, he
transacted business with the fathers
and grandfathers of Kilbourn for about
the same length of the time and in the
six decades says he found nothing but
kindness. This is what he expressed
in a recent issue of this paper. He

He IS an artilleryman. In spite of

he worries about is how soon he can
return to the front. When his battery
was cut to pieces by the enemy's fire,
he managed with the last of his failing
strength to spike the cannon of which
he was gunner to prevent the Russians
from using it. He lay seven hours
wounded before he was rescued by his
comrades. The loyalty and devotion of

Word comes to Madison from various
upstate members-elect of the legisla-
ture that a move is afoot to bring a
bout the repeal of the law making the
office of insurance commissioner ap-
pointive and restoring it to the elective
class, as it was prior to 1911, and pro-
viding that the election shall take place
in the spring. The legislature of 1914
changed the law, making the office ap-
pointive and the term four years instead
of two as it had been. When the law
became effective, Gov. Nc Govern ap-
pointed H. L. Ekern to the place. His
time expires June 80, 1915. 1t is
generally understood that Gov. Phillip
will not reappoint Mr. Ekern. The office

WHITES NEW -'IJ IIn' lin,

A new fraternal play has just been
published, written by Mrs. Mayme Bit
ney of this village. 1t is four act
comedy entitled "Saved by the Royal
Neighbors, which, though it brings
out the work of the order of that name
is of sufficient plot and clever action to
make it interesting to any audience.
A number of years ago Mrs. Bitney
wrote wives of Woodmen' which won
first prize offered by the supreme offic-
ers for fraternal play, and which has
had an extensive sale. The new play
was written in response to a request
for it by F. O.Van Calder, editor of The
Modern Woodman, who has charge of
putting the play on the market.
Mrs. Bitney also writes, each month,
a page for The Royal Neighbors, S" the
off cial paper Of the society. With the
Jan.number of the paper she complet-
es eight years of writing this page.
"Forthe Good Of the Order, never hav~
ing in the eight years missed a

In addition to the new play Mrs. Bit
ney has written this year book Good
