RUSSIA IS RAPIDLY
INCREASING FORCES
Believe Germans viii Make Re
neWed Attack on Warsaw.

Petrograd, Oct. 20-The general
staff is rapidly reinforcing the armies
In Poland in anticipation of a new at
tempt by the Germans to reach the
River Vistula and lombard Warsaw
and Ivangorod.
Troop trains have been moving
westward for several days and there
is the belief here that Russia is send
ing at least 100000 fresh troops to the
battle front. There is no official state
ment as to the situation but the re.
ports tend to show that Russia is pre-.
pairing for another general advance.
Dispatches from Warsaw say that
the Germans are not expected to re.
peat their former progress toward
Warsaw. Two reasons are given. The
first IS that continuous rains make it
difficult for the Germans to support
their infantry with artillery. The dis
trict over which their troops spread
is fiat and marshy. There is only one
railroad over which the Germans
could transport their heavy guns,
without which an attack on Warsaw
would be futile.
II is not doubted, however, that
General Won Hindenberg, whose abiI
fly and energy are recognized, viii
try again to cross the Vistula in spite
of most difficult weather conditions.
For this anticipated move the Rus
SLAMS are preparing with nature fight
ing on their side.

The Issue.

The issue is so plain in this cam
paign that it can be stated in two
words-High Taxes.
There is no dispute about the fact
of the taxes being high. There are
some bold politicians in Wisconsin
but we have yet TO hear of one bold
enough to declare that the taxes are
not high.
Now, it is being undisputed that
tine taxes are high the question fol-
lows, Who made them high? The
answer is, tn republicans. They
cannot deny their responsibility, for
they have been in full control of the
state government ever since the
democrats vacated in January, 1895.
In their platform this year the re-
publicans commend their administra-
tion, thus placing the stamp of their
approval on the high taxes.
The democrats denounce the high
taxes, just as they denounced them
two years ago, and promise economy
with efficiency if they are elected.
So the issue is very plain.
If the voters want a continuance
of high taxes they will support Mr..
Phillip. If they want their taxes
lowered they will support Judge Karel.

Those Dangerous Am.nomeufs.

There is one thing in this political
campaign both democrats and repub-
leans are fully agreed on and this is,
that the ten amendments to the con-
stitution are more vicious and con-
tain more of danger than any matter
submitted To the voters since Wiscon-
sin vas admitted as a state in the
union, and that for the protection OF
individual rights and property every
voter should vote "NO' ten times and
make sure that every one Of the pro-
posed amendments is overwhelmingly
defeated
The increase in the cost OF conduct
ing the state government from four
million dollars annually in 1900 to
eighteen million in 1914, will be as
nothing compared to what may hap
pen to the taxpayers of this state II
these amendments are adopted and
all the limitations and restrictions OF
the constitution are removed. 1t is
socialism run riot. The defeat of
these proposed amendments over
shadows in importance everything
else in this election. 1t is more i'm
portant than the success of any politi-
cal party or any candidate. For
sixty-eight years the limitations and
restrictions of the constitution have
safeguarded individual rights and
property, and to remove them as is
now proposed will open the doors of
the state treasury to the explorations
of the political demagogue and the
visionary; it will remove every re-
straint upon legislation, plunge the
state into debt, increase taxes and
make Wisconsin the experiment sta
tion for socialistic fool notions that
will result in expense and injury to
the people of this state. Think of it
ten amendments of the constitution
that would take up nearly page of
the PILOT to print, and of which the
voter on the pink ballot will receive
only brief statement, so adroitly
worded, so distorted and filled with
misinformation that it is simply i'm
possible for the votef who votes
fYes'' on these amendments to know
what he is voting for. The Taxpayers
League has issued an appeal TO the
voters to uote NO on all the amend
ments; the democratic county COM
mittee and the republican county
committee have adopted resolutions
against these amendments; only the
socialists are advocating their approx
al at their meetings, in their litera-
ture and in their election pamphlet.
These ten amendments are to be
voted on separate pink ballot and
it is important that you cote "No" on
each one Of these ten amendments
as it will be the votes cast on the
amendments that will determine
whether they are approved or reject
ed. Safety First demands that they
be rejected. Don't overlook the pink
ballot, and be sure TO Uote NO ten
times.

THE war and political editor OF the
Wausau Daily seems to be on his job
again, and as the tariff, financial,
Mexican and other questions, over
which he has howled himself hoarse,
without even so much as embarrassing
the president, have been settled, he
now turns his pop gun upon the
special revenue bill to raise money for
the expenses of conducting this
country during the war. The Wau-
sau Daily says that such tax is an
outrage. When the bill becomes a
law, as it will, it will then cast about
for something else to try to besmirch
President Wilson.
1t is too apparent to every unbiased
American that the war stopped COM
merce so far as this country and Europe
are concerned. How then could it be
possible for our country to raise any

THAT the United States should seize
upon the present situation offered to
cement trade relations with South
America, is the opinion of Senator
Isaac Stephenson. He urged that the
trade relations be so firmly established
that when European opposition comes
with peace, the United States will
stand foremost in her merchant
marine. Among the states, he de-
clares, Wisconsin would stand fore
most, because of the richness of her
industries, the variety of the products
of her shops and factories and because
of the wealth of her agricultural
resources.

Brought by the Postman.

To THE EDITOR:
One Gardner, republican congress
man from Massachusetts,, says: "God
will punish the Kaiser and bring vic
tory to the Allies" Gardner also
wants us to prepare for war at once.
He wants huge navy, an immense
standing army and great coast fortifi-
cations, and he wants them quick.
The Record-Herald of this city read
his speech and it also has suddenly
discovered the need of immediate
preparations for war. 1t is not clear
just who we are going to fight but we
must fight anyway to be in the swim.
If the call to arms should come how
many of the R.-H. staff will be ready
to go to the front? We have no
doubt but that they will periodically
declare their willingness to have all
of their wives relations report on the
first day of mobilization, but predict
that the editorial staff itself will be
so busy condemning Wilson and look
ing after the Wisconsin river valley
water power interests that they can
not be spared.
Br'ng on your old war just as soon
as the R.-H. gets some of the rest of
us ready. Who's afraid

President Wilson.

Political partisans bankrupt in
argument have tried to belittle Presi-
dent Wilson by sneering at him as the
schoolmaster in politics. A popular
teacher, lecturer and writer of text
books of exceptional merit and widely
used, he succeeded TO the presidency
of Princeton College, New Jersey, a
wealthy but somewhat sleepy institu-
ton because of the increasing age
and decrepitude of its president.
Woodrow Wilson soon rejuvenated
1T, making it place of intellectual
activity and interest. He required
tie members of the faculty TO get
into touch with the students to learn
what they were thinking and talking
about. He required them to be frank
and unconventional, and allowed the
boys to smoke if they wished while
they talked. His viyacity and earn
estness were contagious and the
school soon became place of intel
lectual activity and interest.
Elected governor of boss ridden New
Jersey, the stronghold of the great
trusts and corrupt corporations, he
was sneered at as the schoolmaster in
politics whose eye-teeth had not yet
been cut. With n'uch glee they
sneered at the schoo master in politics
and bOasted of sool cutting his eye
teeth. In sho,6 time the school
master in politics had the gangsters
on the run.
Election day came, the ballots were
cast and counted, Wilson was elected
and the schoolmaster in politics was
master of the situation.
No other president in our history
save, perhaps, Andrew Jackson, has
ever been SO masterful as Woodrow
Wilson.
In course of time an election of
president came and Wilson was nomi-
mated by the democrats, and elected.
AT once congress was called in special
session, which proved to be the long
est and moss efficient in law-making
of any in its history.
From President Taft hs inherited
war with Mexico. With becoming
modesty and firmness he adopted his
predecessors policy of patient waiting
and watching which carried the
country forward without war. For
his wisdom and forbeSrance under
partisan censure and abuse so strenu-
our partisan as Senator La Toilette
has ably and generously defended, on
the floor of the senate, his policy of
non-intervention. Had he yielded to
the clamor of partisan malice we
should have been plunged into .. war
of conquest which would have brought
us incalculable loss of life and prop
erty, with the enmity of the great re-
publics south of us, whose good will
and friendship will bring to both par
ties great and profitable exchange
of products.
In scholarship and general knowl-
edge of affairs, executive ability,
mastery of men, and prudent leader
ship, Woodrow Wilson has never had
an equal in the presidential chair of
these United States. 0. Z. WELLS.

they are especially anxious TO trim up
every team In this part OF the state.
Stevens Point beat Merrill two weeks
ago by a score Of six TO nothing and
50 as Walsau beat the Point by the
same score, 1t looks as IL the cbntest
would be exceptionally close.
