SILVER ANNIVE

Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney E. Wakefield
of Baraboo were completely surprised
on Friday to discover that their friends
had planned and executed celebra-
tion for their twenty-fifth wedding
university. The Wakefield family
left for Reedsburg Wednesday eve
ming to spend the 25th with Mr.. and
Mrs. William Skinner, who live on
farm near the second city; at this time
the guests intended to return to BarR-
boo on the early train. Their first in
timation of something unusual afoot
was received when Mr.. Skinner
took them aside and explained
mysteriously that 1t was most
expedient that they remain un-
til the later train, and that 'Mr.
Wakefield's business in BaraboO
would be we'll taken care Of.
AS the time approached to leave for
the train, Mr.. Skinner several times
remarked that he feared they would
not be able to make it, but would get
no further than the Methodist
church. He spoke truly for as they
neared that building, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wakefield were informed by the shouts
of over $50 friends that they were
"surprised. A banquet was held in
the church pariors after which the
company adjourned to the auditorium
where a most fitting program was
given, Reverend q. l.. Clifford acting
as master Of ceremonies. His
opening speech was followed by a
short address by Reverend e. z. Hall
of the M. E. church of Baraboo. There
were songs by quartette composed of
Messers. William and Clark Town
send and Misses Doris and Ruth
Townsend, as we'll as several solos by
the above named and by Carl Ander-
son, with Mrs. Walter Winchester at
the piano. Mrs. John Claridge re-
cited "Was Marriage Failure" and
William Tiboitts gave some remini-
scenes of 25 years ago. Among other
things he told how shocked and dis
appointed the members of his school
district were when they learned that
their teacher, Miss Alice Davenport, had
been kidnapped by one Sidney Wake
field and that they must seek another
for the remainder OF the term. Mr.
and Mrs. Wakefield were presented
with handsome silver tea set, q
bevelled mirror tray, silver casserole
as well as several spoons and other
gifts. The hest and hostess responded
feslingly to the speech of presentation,
in few words which meant much to
their hearers, almost all of them
friends of a quarter century.
The, bride and groom of 25 years were
welded on December 26, 1888 at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Davenport In
Dellona. Tney we're rendered two re-
ceptions, one ct the BRIDES home and
q larger one oR New Years at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Pelton.

happy occasions rel ejoiced with Mr.. and
Mrs. Wakefield yesterday. The
guests from BarAboo included Mr.. and
George Carpenter, Mr.. and Mrs. I. K.
Deppe, Chief of Police and Mrs. s. AZ

I
years, under Jones and Whitlock, To-
ledo policemen did not carry clubs.
One of the first things the new ad-
ministration did was to restore the
clubs And now the Central Labor
Union is charging that the clubs are
placed in the hands of policemen to
be used against workingmen.
The point to all this is that when
money, organization, partisan appeal,
misrepresentation by kept news
papers and every other weapon
of capitalism had failed to overthrow
the peoples government and put
Privilege back in power, the religious
issue won the fight for Privilege, and
over SO per cent of the Socialists
were stampeded along with the rest.
This is the phase of the religious
war that interests me. l don't care
what church workers belong to, or
what fraternal organization. l don't
care whether they belong to the
Guardians Of Liberty or the Knights
of Columbus.
| But l do not like to see the ranks
Of labor divided politically, by being
dragooned into religious contro-
versy when their dearest rights are
involved in an industrial war
There are both Protestant and
Catholic capitalists among the class
that exploits labor. You won't find
their ranks divided. This religious
war won't break up their employers
organizations. They will continue to
pull together despite religious differ
ences just as they have always pulled
together despite political differences.
And it will be fine business for
them if they can get workers to hat
ing one another because of religious
differences of opinion.
The story has gone out that, the
election in Toledo was a victory oyer
the Catholics. That isn't so. 1t was
a victory of Privilege over the work.

and Schreiber are Democrats.
Keller was state senator with a
reactionary record, and had been
badly beaten as the Republican can
didate for mayor.
During all the years Jones and
Whitlock were in the mayors office,
the street railways company had
been unable to elect council it could
control. The Citizens Industrial As
sociation were unable to use the po
lice as strikebreakers.
But last year Big Business gener-
ally, including the public service cor
porations, the corporation lawyers,
the employers associations and all
interests hostile to organized labor
got back of Keller and supplied the
funds for his anti-Catholic campaign.
A former lobbyist of the street rail-
way company was the head of the
principal Republican club.
To show how perfectly honest and
sincere people were worked into a
frenzy by the cunning manipulators
who were using the religious war to
overthrow government in the inter-
est of the people, the women were
organized in every ward in the city
to register themselves and to get the
men out to save the public schools
from the Catholics
They were told that the Catholics
were trying to capture the public
schools Now note the facts. The
school board consists of five. mem
bers. There was one holdover, who
was a Protestant. There were four
to elect. There were seventeen can
didates; and of these 16 were Protes-
tants. If nobody had been permitted
to vote but Catholics, it would have
been impossible to get more than one
of the five members of the board.
Yet women went from house to
house pleading with Protestants to
register and vote to save the public
schools from tho Catholics

 Alaska is in good condition today and great amount of real work is being done in all of the minnig dis. tricts, but a real boom can be expect. td when the new government railroad Is started. The country is rich in mineral wealth and the only thing lacking to make this wealth of use to the people Is a means of transporta- ton.

TARIFF NOT TO BE CHANGED.
Redneld, Underwood and simmon,
Say Wilson wont Allow Il.

BALTIMORE. June 1.-THE Washington
correspondent OF the Manufacturers
Record OF this city has interviewed
Secretary Redfeld. Congressman I'm
derwood and Senator Simmons re-
garding reports that the duty would be
restored on sugar and possibly other tariff
changes made. but they said positively
that nothing OF the kind would take place
during President Wilson's Administration
Senator Simmons simply but explicitly
said there was not word OF truth In the
report that any sort OF change WINS
contemplated In the tariff law with ref
erence to sugar or any other item.
Congressman Underwood said that the
tariff bill will not be disturbed and that
In no shape or manner will any changes
be allowed. While he himself might sug-
gest changes here and there. the question
OF making any sort of change would
not be opened up. and he was sure that
II Congress were to pass any measure
affecting the present bill President Will
son would veto It, He had had q talk

He believed that there may be some
months. rs there were during the Repub-

that taking the year through there will
be no embarrassment In governmental
revenues and there will not any occasion
arise to call for the restoration of the
tariff on sugar or the retention OF any
part OF that to be taken on In the future.
There Is no Justification for any state
ment made that as a result OF our beet
