THE PHILOSOPHY oE WEDDINGS.

gTNHE SOCIAL philosopher, who interested
 l in the ways of men and women sets out to anaIyze the human traits seen in modern weddings, of course finds the most abundant material in June, the month of high tide of na- tures beauty
 Perhaps the first impression is the amount of horse play which the humor loving American people tolerate Probably in no other country do women in delicate silk gowns crawl down dirty coal holes in order to get admission to churches where notables are being married.
 In no other country are bridegrooms kid mapped. Nowhere else is it considered good form to pursue a retreating couple to the hotel where they encounter the embarrassing mys- teries of the wedding night. It is partly for this reason, partly on account of fuss and feath- Iers, that Father and the bridegroom are growing more and more favorable to elopements.
 Tn the circles supposed to belong to sSo- lciety,' all the paraphernalia of bridesmaids and kfowers and spreads and favors are but little outside the regular machinery of life. They are comfortably handled, if the price can be raised or borrowed. But among many simple hearted people, a splurge is made thai is remote and foreign to the ordinary habits of life.
 Houses are thrown into turmoil, until Father can scarcely find 6 closet free from en- cunbranee of fluffy bridal material After it is over it is found that the best danask sofa is ruined byaa mayonnaise sandwich It takes about year for the furniture and deeorations to recover.
 Young men from the country make furtive trips to the Old Glo man to hire dress suits. There is anxious searching of the etiquette books by the feminine element. Probably more and more people are now realizing the bad form of an elaboration out of line with one s ordinary habits. But a great many people spend more on weddings than they can afford.

ness displayed by MT. Siemon and Mir. Hill, they cannot entertain the same feeling toward the police commissioner who had duty toward the state that was immeasurably superior to all oth- CT duties.
 They cannot refuse to consider what such an example must accomplish destructively in the costly police department of the city, upon which so much of the money of the people is expended, that they may be safe in their bodies and property and walk the highways in the knowledge that offenses will be prevented, or that if crime occurs, the perpetrators will be vigorously sought. certainly apprehended and punished as the law may provide.
 They cannot tolerate that zealous and will ing officers of the police force should from motives of prudence suspend efforts to find offenders and vindicate justice
 Even upon the side of humanity, there is another view which we'll merits the cohsidera- ton of the thoughtful
 Siemons wife was sick, but DeMartino's wife was a widow.
 It one of the saddest consequences of this miscarriage of justice that the widow of this poor man has, by reason of those thirty months of silence' been deprived of her right to seek in the courts, civil damages, to compen- sate her as far as possible for the death of the man upon whom she depended for her sup tport.
 The treatment of this poor woman seems to have been dictated by the selfish fear of every body concerned that exposure and arrest, or
  frank or generous with her.
 That she should not have been told by what means her husband died; that she should have been seduced into most unfair adjustment of her claim, receiving q pittance from somebody whom she did not know in place of the legal damages which might have accrued to her un- der fairer circumstances is an element which huInanity also will consider in weighing this case.
 It would appear that Mir. Hill s usefulness as head of the police board has ceased.
 He saw it to substitute for his public duty what he regarded as his duty to friendship. Upon the altar of friendship he laid his official honor, sacrifice to his personal desire to serve another.
 He cannot reasonably expect the public to bear the consequences of his offense. He must take the only honorable course which seems open to him and resign from the duties of the office and from the obligation of the oath which he felt obliged to subordinate to his private feelings

ed from no such prostration as struck it in 1911. Woolen and worsted mills are fairly active, and some of them are working on extra. time. Raw wool is making history by constant rise in price, being now from IT to 821 cents a, pound No such high prices for wool have prevailed in the past 25 years, except in two years, and it appears a real blessing to our wool en manufacturers that this raw ma terial was placed on the free list. As it is, they have at least the advantage of the world market to draw supplies from The cause of the high price of wool is not obscure. There is a worldwide shortage. In this coun- try land formerly used for sheep graz ing has been planted with grain; but agricultural development has likewise encroached on grazing lands and the sheep industry in Europe and Austra- Iia~ Furthermore, at this particular time, the demand for wool Is very heavy on account of the Balkan war and the war preparations made by European powers.--Springnel Re- publican.

AN EXCELLENT COMMISSION

R T AYOR WILSON'S appointments to the '1V1 Bridge commission are entitled to commendation. He has named men trained in lines of endeavor qualifying them to have charge of such work. The result ought to be beneficial to the public purse and to the beauty and permanence of the improvement, upon which something like million dollars will ulti- mately be expended, half for the material things that will enter into the construction of the bridge and as much more for interest on the debt

FIVE NEW OFFICERS.
Will Be Elected in This County Next
Spring.

Chapter, 75l. laws of 1913, provides
that at the regular spring election. to
be held on the first Tuesday of April.
1914, there shall be elected county
board of education consisting of five
members Also that ut the first
meeting after aid election the men,
bers of such board shall cast lots to
determine who shall serve for term
OF Cne year, who for term of two
years. who for term of three years,
who for a term of four years and who
Tor term of five years, respectively
Except as to those members whose
iirst term shall be fixed by lot, as
aforesaid, at one, two, three, four
and five years, the term of Office of
. eacf member of such board shall be
five years, and until his successor is
elected and qualified, and one MEM
Der shall be elected each year follow
ing the year 1914.
The nominations are to be made
by nomination papers, the same as
for county officers. The board must
hold TWO regular meetings each year
and special meetings may also be
held. The per diem and mileage Of
members is the same as that of men,
bers OF the county board, but no
member can receive compensation
for more than fifteen days in each
year. The duties of the board are
varied and in many respects very inn
portant, but the new law does not
effect the school system of this OF any
other city that is not under the juris-
dictiOn of the county Superintendent.

CITY COUNCIL.

The regular meeting of the city
council met OH Tuesday evening, and
among other business transacted was
the adoption of an ordinance making
a provision for the election of Ole
alderman and one supervisor anC
alderman, in each ward in the city,
who shall he members of the COM
mon council. The supervisor and al
derman shall also represent the ward
on the county board. These officers
will be so elected at the next munich
pal election. The ordinance will also
be submitted to the voters of the
city for approval at the spring election.
Heretofore each ward in our city was
represented on the County board by
only one vOte,-the supervisor
The council authorized the pur-
chase of 800 cords Of rock at $50 per
cord.
Our macadam streets do not give the
satisfaction expected. For time
they are smooth and enjoyable; in a
year or so the top covering is blown
away by automobiles AID that which
cannot be dislodged in this way is
washed away by the rains, leaving
the surface full of sharp pointed rocks
and very uneven. A discussion
brought out the opinion that more
of our streets should be paved with
lasting material and that instead of
our present macadam, we should
have tar macadam, and it was voted
to test out some of our streets on
tar macadam.
A workhouse for the city is needed,
it is thought, and the board of public
works submitted plans TO the council,
drawn by the city engineer for such a
building. 1t is proposed also, to use
it as storage for tools and imple-
ments belonging to the city.
Several saloon licenses were granted
in place of those which had been re-
linguished.
The following resolution was
adopted with view of improving the
fire department:
Resolved that the committee on
fire be and is hereby authorized and
instructed to conduct an investigation

council plan or scheme, the adoption
of which will bring the fire depart

HIGH TAXES.

Every town in Marathon County,
as well as the city OF Wausau, is COM
planning of the high taxes. There are
some poor people who cannot even
pf their taxes this year. So many
poor people have been coming in,
having purchased cut-over lands, that
there are a surplus in the county; no
timber with which to bring In money!;
no work in camps or in cutting and
hauling wood, they are, indeed in a
bad way. The state makes strenuous
efforts to get these men and their
families here and then deliberately
taxes them out of their property. 1t
is highway robbery!
The state and county taxes are
nearly 2s high as the town tax. One
of the sources of high taxes is the
new state and highway system. Two
years ago Marathon County voted for
1t, the vote standing 36 to %, in its
favor. The same men would today
vote NO" almost unanimously. Last
November, an attempt was made TO
go back to the old system but as some
had gotten state aid, others also
wanted to get helped out, and the
attempt failed even though it was
evident to all that they were more
taxes upon their people. Every chair
man, now is complaining of high
taxes; of the way money is being
thrown away on our road work and
the very little work done for the
money under the new system. The
present price for a mile of crushed
stone road, with stone free, is 81, 800.
The county now owns three sets OF
machinery, one has stood idle half the
summer. Five or six towns have no
work done yet. The various chair
men Of the county board say much
more work could be done if they
coulJ control the money. The high
way commissioner will receive $1,000
this gear He should put better men
on the road, who know more about
the work.
The highway state tax is a
burden on every town and the next
thing is the income tax. The people
of Marathon County should get into
line and prepare to do some fighting
next fall against high taxes.
