TWO TUGS LAUNCHED.

About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
citizens were startled by the sudden
shrieking Of all the the steam whistles
in the city. They then remembered
the old custom of thus celebrating
launching at the ship yards. Two steel
tugs took to the water successfully.
They are the Alice Stafford bnilt for
the Erie railroad and the Timothy j.
Byrne built for the Chicago Lincoln
Park commission. Parties Of railroad
otlicicials and Chicago officers were
here for the event. Two bottles of
perfectly good champagne were wasted
in the ceremonies according to ancient
custom. The two crafts are both ex-
amples Of the very latest ideas in tug
building and are splendid advertise
ment for Manitowoc's great ship build
ing industry.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

The popular tendency nowadays is
toward mollycoddling. Children must
not be corrected. Their minds must
be diverted. Violators of the law, who
are merely grown-up children who are
without respect for authority, or for
the rights of others, must not be pun
ished. They must be given treatment
somewhat like that promised To Curly
locks in the poem, and turned loose af-
ter brief period of uplifting associa-
ton with exponents of the theory that
criminals are nc criminals, but merely
worthy persons temporarily in error.
Now comes school teacher to de-
nounce the term-end examinations as
tending TO dshearten and disgust
pupils, and as having no value in de-
terming their relative fitness for adj
vancement to higher classes.
In paper read before the Central
Association of Science and Mathematics
Teachers, an lllinoss instructress hold
ing chair at high school in kenil-
worth, abolishes with breath the
standing Of examinations. They are
useless, worse than useless. They are
cruel. They are unfair, They bestow
an honor decided by n fraction of n
per cent
The last objection is the more
thoughtless. In all sporting events,
such as the Marathon race at the Olym-
pic games, horse races and baseball,
the honor is bestowed 'upon fraction
of per cent" as the school teacher
puts it That the prize in a Marathon
or the stake in a turf event is unjustly
bestowed because there isn't a wide
gap between the winner and the con-
testant who is crowdng him is new
theory, 1t is theory which quite
overlooks the stmuiant to heroic en-
deavor that lies in the fact that getting
across the tape, or under the wire
nearly on time does not get first honors.
II there were no examinations 1t
would be rather embarrassing for teach
ers to single out the pupil not entitled
to advancement and order him to repeat
the Junior course when others took
senior "tickets." " Diplomas and de-
grees would have little meaning. A
wholesome fear of failure Mt eXamina-
tion keeps many pupil at his books
who, without that stimulant, would dc
little hard work.

A COMMUNICATION.

Election passed off quietly here last
week there being no opposition for any
of the town Offices. For the first time
in 30 years there was some hot discus
sion in the morning on the raising Of
town money for the State Aid Highway.
Some very intelligent men were in
favor of raising money thinking the
State and County were the "Other
fellow" that was going to hand us
over the money for road building in
our town! 1t seems queer these men
can't see through this scheme.
At last a motion was made by =. w.
CavanaugE and seconded by Robert
Buboltz that the town of Maple Grove
would raise no money for road build
ing under the State and County High
way system, and it was carried by big
majority. The towns of Cato and Fran
kiln didn't raise any money for the
Hold up Game" either But we dn-
derstood Rockland tax payers had $400
to blow in on the game. Next election
they will have more sense.
| have read the able write ups
that the Farmer" from Liberty has
written in the Pilot before election
with interest, and | say to voters and
tax payers of the First assembly dis
trict to send that 'man" to Madison
as your representative in the assembly
regardless of what his political faith
may be. know not who the man is
is and if | should hear his name, it is
doubtful if | would know him then, as
my acquaintance in that town is very
limited. | would like to hear through
the columns OF the Pilot what towns
raised money and how much for this
road system and what towns voted it
down like this good old town OF Maple
Grove.
We see our neighbors to the North
OF us in Brown Co. are getting their
eyes open as several towns didn't raise
money this year in that County.

Ralph Plumb, Charles Frazier and
Chris Iippert retired from the city
Council Tuesday evening after respec-
lively six years, eight years and four
years service there. The term "ser-
vice" is frequently a misnomer. Here
its use is right. Our city has usually
been lucky in having in the city coun-
Gil several men used to the ways Ct
business and accustomed to making de-
cisions in important commercial tran
sactions. Plumb and Frazier were more
than that. They were the rare combi-
nation of idealism and practicality; of
progress and sanity; of business and in
dependence. Although business men
and subject as such to outside pressure
they never hesitated to support radi-
cal mayor whose name was anatht ma
in business circles, whenever they
thought him right, and they usually
did think so. AS members of the fin
ance committee these two bore the
brunt of the difficulties of the water
works purchase financing in 1911 and
1912, and in the citys interest they
fearlessly set their names to documents
that threatened their private property.
Both were "bull muosers" in 1912 and
are now leaders in the commission gov
ernment movement.
Plumb is scholar College men
know what it means to say that he was
Phi Beta Kappa member in his juni-
or year at great university. He took
several years of law and was admitted
to the bar, but his fathers business
beckoned and he plunged into com
mercial career and now in his early
30's is virtually the head of the big To-
cal house. He remains student and
scholar in the hurry of his business
life. A quick intellect, tireless activ
ity, practical radical in politics with
highest ideals of public service he has
been an ideal public servant.
Mr.. Frazier is successful business
man who has built up n big retail fur
niture concern. He has frequently as
sumed responsibility fer things that
other me olbers shrank from. He was
never stampeded, never susceptible to
outside influences. He gave city busi-
ness the careful attention he gave his
own. His laudable ambition to be may
or was thwarted by his appearance at
an unfortunate time, but like the big
man he is he never showed what must
have been keen disappointment by
act word or deed in the council.
Lippert has been steady, faithful
alderman usually lined up with the OPP
position to the present mayor when
there was a division. No one ever
doubted his honest motives in this. He
has rendered good service as Chairman
of the Committee on Claims, an engag.
ing personality has made him popular
with every city official. His Taftian
smile will be missed in the council

COMMISSION PETITION FILED.

The petition for an election at which
the commission form of government
will be submitted to the voters was fled
with Mayor Stole last Tuesday. The
law requires that when pettiC sign
ed by 25 q of the electors is i'll, the
mayor shall call an election to be held in
two months. 1t is said that the elec-
tion will be called for the latter part OF
May, probably the 28th, allowing about
six weeks for a campaign. Since Jan
uary commission government has been
adopted by Amigo, Stoughton and Fond
du Lac and rejected by the voters at
South Milwaukee, Whitewater, Ken
osha, New London and Green Bay.
The local organization which has push
ed the matter along thus far Is said 10
be preparing for an active compaign
to convince the voters that it is for
their best interests to adopt the system.
No attempt at any organized opposition
has been manifested yet.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w. MElSNE ST.

Do you know that while you have
been increasing the production of your
farm you have been helping to place
this county among the leaders as an
agricultural section? OF course, you
have been so busy hustling after inn
provements, breeding better stock,
raising better grain, producing more
milk, and increasing your profits that
you never knew you were farming bet
ter than most, and as good as the best
in the state
Yet the farmers OF Manitowoc county
are capitalized at 80 million dollars,
and every year raise over six million
dollars worth of farm produce. In the
decade from 1900 to 1910 the value of
farm property in this county increased
over l3 million dollars or 66 per cent,
and the value of land increased from
S35 to S5S per acre.
What has caused this boost in land val
ues? Grain and dairy products are the
weapons with which the progressive
farmers OF this community are hewing
their way TO prosperity. In the last
ten years the production Of these stap-
les has increased by leaps and bounds.
The 81 cheese factories, and l5 cream
cries in this county, according to the
last census report manufacture products
worth one and one-half million dollars
a year.
A few hardy pioneers in the dairy
field started years ago to improve their
herds by the introduction OF breeds for
production stock. Progress in this dir
ecton was slow until the work was
given new life and an upward boost by
the organization of three community
breeders association for as many difler-
ent breeds.
These have boosted dairying, dairy
cattle and dairy products until today
this great industry is the backbone OF
the farming in this section. The names
and officers Of these associations are as
follows
Manitowoc County Holstein-Friesian
Association, President, Adoph Otto,
Valders. Vice-president, Patrick, Ca.

Local members of the Wisconsin Elk
pertinent Association have brought il
and grown pure bred grains, which ha.
helped to increase the production anC

COURT UPHOLDS ASSESSMENT.

Monday morning decision was filed
in Circuit court in favor of the city in
the case Of the Reiss Coal Company
versus the City Clerk. William Reiss
appeared before the city board of re
view in July, 1913, and asked that the
coal rigs at the upper dock, valued at
$50, 500 be assessed to the coal company
as personally. His request was evil
IDENTIFY prompted by the desire to use
the personally tax as an offset to the
company's large income tax. The
board, although admitting that the big
steel rigs are owned by the coal
company, assessed them as improve
ments TO real estate to the owner of
the land the 500 line, claiming statu-
tory right to do so. This prevented
the Reiss Co. from using the tax as an
Offset to its income tax, loss estimat-
ed at over $1,000. The Company tested
the city's claim by certiorari, a writ
commanding the city clerk to send MP
the record TO show the jurisdiction of
the board of review TO act as it did
The ciCy admitted at the hearing in
circuit court that the 500 Line owns
the land and the Coal Co. the structures.
The Coal Co. then claimed that proper
ty must be assessed to its owner in all
cases. The city claimed statutory
exception to this rule in the case of
buildings on leased grounds and the
court now upholds the city's conten-
tion. But an appeal and Lew action
have been mentioned but the company
has not made public its intentions.

more apples than any other county in
the state, besides being well up in the
production of poultry and eggs.
Today, located as it is in one of the
richest sections of a rich agricultural
state, with an excellent climate, plenty
of rainfall, and easy access by rail or
water, TO several great markets, Man
itowoc county is just in the beginning
of new era of prosperity.
The young men OF this county have
long realized the value Of preparing
well before trying to farm successfully.
Quite a number have taken courses at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
and many are now located on farms in
their home community.

was made by our County Order boys to
an Illinois Institute, TO be sent to a
place in Portage County, Wisconsin,
