Unfit Candidates For Legislature

Every taxpayer possessed of common
sense knows that thisiyear above all
others, it is going to be highly impor-
tant to have men of sound discretion
and business ability in the legislature.
The primary has delUged the state in
past years with lot of shallow schem-
ing politicians who were anxious to get
into the legislature for selfish purposes
alone. Now the taxpayers are paying
the price Of such folly.
Under the old caucus and convention
system scarcely one of these unfit MEM
bers could have run the gauntlet and
secured a nomination. But the Pro-
gresSiye craze set up the primary to
let this cheap stuff in. Now reaction
has set in. Every voter should scruti-
nize candidates for the legislature long
and well. Promises are cheap; talk is
useless. What about the men? Meas
ured by this rule the Legislative ticket
presented by the Republicans of Jeffer-
son county is good one. More than
that it is strong one. Henry j. Grell,
the candidate for the assembly in the
first district, is one of the leading bust.
ness men of Johnson Creek. He not
only means we'll but he is capable of do
ing well when brought into the mill
and grind of the legislature. The same
may be said of John Porter of Oakland,
candidate for the assembly in the Sec
cOnd district, who made strong repre-
sentative of his town in the County
Board of Supervisors.
The candidate for the state senate,
Frank FoOte of Lake Mills, is another
well trained and well equipped man for
such a place of trust as he will occupy il
elected.
This is to be taxpayers fight and
taxpayers must face that fight.
Ii they are going to get any relief
they must look we'll to the men they
send to the legislature Mere party des-
ipnation don't count. We must have
better men than we have been having
in the legislature or we'll have no. bet
ter laws.-Jefferson County Union.

Advertising Belief.

Believe in advertising.
Believe in clean advertising.
Believe in profitable advertising.
Believe that advertising has double
function:
To benefit the advertiser and the peo-
pie advertised to. Believe that if adver-
tisine does not benefit the people adver-
tised to it cannot benefit the advertiser.
Believe that advertising cannot bene-
fit the people advertised to unless it is
truthful and clean, and employed only
to sell goods that are genuine and
offered at fair price.
Believe that advertising employed to
sell goods that are not beneficial OF
goods that are beneficial but offered at
unfair prices or an inequitahle condi-
tion, is wrong in principal and will, in
the long run. be improbable to adver-
tisers.

Bv HERBERT TEMPLE,

International News Service Correspondent
London, Oct. 20.-Hopes that had
been raised high by the announce
the Germans In France had been driv-
en- back 80 miles were dashed In an
unofficial report that the kaiser's
troops we're approaching Dunkirk, the
great fortified seaport Of France
across the channel from England.
This report came in Rotterdam
dispatch from a correspondent Of the
Daily Mail, who said:
"A message just received from a
German source reports that the Ger
mans have crossed the Belgian border
on the coast Of France and are now
about eight miles from Dunkirk. Fort
Des Dunes, first Of Dunkirk's outer
works, is in their path"
1t was stated at the press bureau
that no official confirmation OF this
report could be given, but its trans
mission and publication were permit
ted.
Won TIrpitz at Antwerp.
News of the arrival of Admiral Won
Tirpitz, head Of the German navy, at
Antwerp Ia taken here as confirmation
Of the theory that Germany intends
to make an attack on England as soon
German submarines have been trans
ported by rail to Belgium and that
these will be put into the waters Of
the channel as soon as the Germans
are in undisputed possession of the
coast. A news agency dispatch from
Berlin says:
''The shortening days and the thick
ening weather In the North sea are
steadily improving conditions for the
operation OF submarines and torpedo
boats. Marine experts expect that
henceforth there will be intense activ-
ity throughout the entire North sea. I"
Germans Shell LIghtship.
The Belgian lightship of Zee
Brugge, the port Of Bruges, has been
shelled by German battery from
shore and the crew has been forced
to fee. This also is confirmatory Of
the belief that the Germans intend to
be active at the southern end of the
North sea.
1t was noted that the British naval
experts ignored the possibility Of a
sea attack on England in their COM
ment on the war. The military ex-
perts devoted their attention wholly
to the operations on land
Germans Take Offensive.
