first five years after their marriage,
they lived in New Ulm and since then

and devoted mother and a good help
meet to her husband. She was always

The queerest thing about this queer
political campaign is the running of
Emmanuel Philip for governor of Wis
consin upon Progressive Republican
platform.
The Democrats also have forward
looking platform But the candidate
Judge Karel, endorses the platform
and says that he is progressive.
Mr.. Phillip, however, stands upon
the backward looking platform adopted
by the convention at which his candi
dacy was launched. And the whole state
knows that he won his spurs and made
himself leader of the reactionaries by
opposing state control of public service
corporations

GERMAN KINDNESS

Washington. = How little American
flags pinned to their coat lapels have
assured Americans in Hamburg of
kindly treatment at the hands of every
German was told in a report from Con
sui General Henry II. Morgan to the
state department
The report gave graphic description
of the trying days at thSOutbre2k of
the war, when the consulate general
was filled With frantic men and hys-
terical women clamoring for means to
get home.
AS far as the Americans in this city
are concerned" wrote Morgan, their
friends and relatives in the United
States can be treasured no harm will
come to them, and indeed it would be
hard to imagine from the peaceful as
pect of the city that the whole country
was atlame.
Some embarrassment was caused at
first by the refusal of the banks to hon
or American letters of credit and
checks issued by well known American
banks but subsequently money was of
fered me in any amount to relieve this
situation. Incidents were brought to
my attention when American bank
notes We're changed into German cur
rency at 30 cents on the dollar. but
these incidents We're very rare.
Il have had several interviews with
the civil authorities of Hamburg and
the military commander at Altoona, and
all have shown the most earnest desire
to do all in their power to relieve the
stress and inconvenience to both Amer
lean citizens and British subjects caus-
ed by the mobilization"
Morgan was intrusted with British
interests in Hamburg. and while there
wer" siXty-two British vessels with
upward of Il thousand sailors aboard
at anchor in the harbor when war was
declared he reported that not a single
overt act against any British resident
of the city had been brought to his at
tention. On the day the report was
written special train provided by the
German government was leaving for
Holland with Americans.

The prices of living have only

Wisconsin StaUe Journal The
official students directory, issued by
the University, is the most convincing
argument presented for the imperative
need Of dormitores for the students of
this state University. The prices for
board and room in the city Of Madison
are shamefully exorbitant. A good
comfortable room for single student
in the vicinity Of the University costs
between four and five dollars Il week
Estimating the college year at thirty
six weeks, room alone on this basis
costs a student from $141 to $3.50 year.
BY doubling up, this expense is divided.
But let MS recall that Emerson said
that the best thing which any boy got
out of college was room and fire
place to himself. If the Sage of Con
cord spoke any measure of truth when
he made this statement, we have to
concede that few students at the Uni
Versity of Wisconsin are able to get the
best thing out of college life.

No less than four of the ambassadors
from the warning countries to the
United States have American wives,
ana each OF the latter has thrown her
self heart and soul into helping her
adopted country in the hour of need.
The Countess Won BernstOrff, wife of
the German ambassador, who was

more needed in Berlin. There she is

work, has taken Il training course and
devoteS herself personally to caring for
the wounded.
Nine. Jusserand and Nine. Bakhme-

Considerable comment has been
caused by Mrs. McCormicks gift, crit

her contribution to the Red Cross for
general relief work; but this seems I'M
fair for it Is but natural that she
should prefer to aid directly the coun.

From this small beginning grew an
undertaking that seems likely to bear
large fruit, for not only have contri-

fact that it has come to be the policy of
the management Of the Mineral Point
Fair to allow only good, clean shows
on the grounds. A plain, strong word
word or two now and then in the col
umns Of this paper may have helped to
firmly establish this policy. There
ought to be enough healthy public spirit
in every town to shut ont street carn-
walls and sideshows which degrade. A
united effort on the part Of fair boards
to secure only genuine, untainted
attractions is greatly to be desired.
The journal does well to strongly urge
such action.

FAIRS AND StDESHOWS.

Milwaukee Journals: The action of
the amusement committee of the state
fair board in eliminating objectionable
shows is worthy of high praise. The
state fair is too big an exposition, with
purposes too serious, to tolerate such
things.
The county fairs, which in most
ways have been such splendid successes
this year, might well follow tho exam
set by the state fair. That the county
fair is changing, no observer can doubt.
1t is no longer merely meeting place
for dinner parties and family reunions
1t has become serious in its purposes
Tho educational principle is uppermost,
The farmer usually goes straight to the
exhibits in which he is most interested.
But the nmusements at most county
fairs have not kept pace with this ad
vance. The fake show Is still there,
and sometimes the show of immoral
character, too. If the fair il to be
educational in it's appeal, then the
guiding principles that instruction shall
be genuine and free from faint must
apply.
One immoral show may do harm to
the community greater than the good
done by exhibits that enlighten and
inspire. AT II recent county fair boys
of 10 We're seen to enter most OBJ
jectionable show. That county could
afford to give the fair, for the county
was rich and the fair II success,
but it could ROT afford to tolerate that
show. While some boys were learning
to raise better corn and better stock,
others We're being sent on u way which
makes life not worth the living. The
management of the fair must be held
responsible.
Nor can managers escape respon
sibility for the fake show. 1t is their
duty to protect fair patrons. No OBJ.
lection can be made to the show which
offers curios. 1t perhaps satisfies n
human desire. But the attractions
offered must be genuine. The patrons
have no way of knowing, until they
have paid the admission fee, whether
the show is worth while. The amuse &.
ment committees can examine them
and refuse place to those that are
worthless
Fair boards in Wisconsin should
unite in demand that show managers
bring to the state only genuine attrac
tions worth the price of admission and
in harmony with the new spirit of the
county fair.
The Democrat commends the above
article on Fairs and Sideshows. -

Plan For Two Cent Rate to South
America as Aid to Commerce.
Washington.-A Il further stimulus
to commerce, it is proposed by several
leaders in congress that steps be taken
to obtain Il cent postage rate to coun-
tries Of South America that will con-
sent to an arrangement of this char
acter. 1t requires at present Il cent
stamp TO carry letter to South Amer

would foster closer commercial rela-

be placed on the same basis with re,

A TAX ON EDUCATION.

The Wisconsin State journal does
well to give merciless publicity to the
fact that prices for room and board in
the city of Madison are shamefully OK =
Orbitant, and to demand change in
conditions whereby students at the I'm
iversity of Wisconsin may be able to
secure comfortable and sanitary rooms
and good wholesome board at fair
prices. The whole press Of the state
should enlist with The journal in this
fight. 1t is II good fight. 1t ought
to be won; and it can be won.
