TOWN BALLOTS CHANGED
New State Law Will Put End To Old
Split Ticket Electioneerins
Tactics.

A complete reformation OF the
method of conducting town meetings
In Wisconsin will occur next spring,
as a result of the passage of the Bich-
Ter bill to which executive approval
was given. The Bichler bill pro-
yides that the electors of any town
or village shall hold caucus at least
seven days prior to the day of holding
the election. Candidates for Office are
to be nominated by the caucus or by
nomination papers signed by the
electors of each town or village, equal
in number to 10 per cent of all votes
cast in such town or village or all
candidates for governor at the last
preceding election. From the caucus
records or official nomination papers
the town or village clerk shall make
up a printed ballot and the election
shall be conducted under the Austral-
ian system. The new law provides
that both the nominations and the
elections shall be conducted by the
official ballot system. In reality, it
applies the general primary election
law to town meetings. In case no
nom nations are made the spaces in
which names of candidates may be
printed or written shall be left blank.
Ballots not provided by the respective
town or village clerks shall not be
counted in any election, but any voter
may write upon his ballot the name
of any person for whom he desires TO
vote for any office, in such place as to
Indicate the Office.

FORUM DEBATERS MEET.
The Question Of Teaching Sex Hygiene
Was Thoroughly Discussed by Mem
bers OF the Society at the Y Last
Tuesday Evening.

Last Tuesday evening at the Y. NJ.
G. A., the Vally Forum Debating
society held its annual meeting and
the question discussed was whether
or not sex hygiene should be taught in
our high schools After a very spir-
tied and most interesting debate, in
which Rev. O. ID. Briggs and LEVEL
Goodrich upheld the affirmative and
Frank Daniels and T. A. Taylor the
negative, the judges decided in favor
of the latter with two to one decis-
ion. Following the finishing of the
debate the meeting was thrown open
for while and several of those not
on the program gave extemporaneous
talks on the subject under discussion.
C. Il. Edgar followed this with most
interesting and instructive paper on
"The Panama Canal Situation"
With Lloyd Wells in the chair par
liamentary drill completed the pro-
gram for the evening. AS interesting
a meeting as the one last Tuesday had
not been held at the Y for long
.time.
This evening when the members of
the Forum gather for another discus
sion they will debate on the question,
Resolved, that the state of Wiscon-
sin should draw up and adopt new
constitution. Craig Conner and @.
t. Edgar will uphold the negative
side of the question and E. W. Bran
denburg and Lloyd Wells the affirma-
tive. A paper will be read and then
parliamentary drill will follow with
G. f. Ogden in the chair.

WOOD AND HAY.

Hay and wood have moved slow
this year in Wausau than on any pre-
vious year, so far as the farmers are
concerned and perhaps the regular
dealers in fuel. One day last week
three loads of hay brought to the city
by farmers had to be taken back to
the barns on the various farms. The
wood condition has been affected to a
great extent by the lack of snow and
the further fact that one of our local
concerns put upon the market about
2000 cords of hardwood. Then there
is another factor which has had much
to do with the wood question and that
is the mildness of the winter thus far
If the warm weather continues, even
though mixed with brief cold spells,
wood will be even cheaper next winter,
for many are putting in supply for
that season. We are told that the
farmers have been putting in their
time cutting wood so far this winter
in order to keep busy. Should we
have good sleighing for five or six
weeks the latter part Of the present
season hay will be in greater demand.

DON'T MIND.

Don't mind if you're feeling bad,
1t won't be long before you're glad
Don't mind if you're feeling blue,
There's something somewhere wait
ing you.
To lift your shadow and your care
And heal the haunting, dark despair.
Don't mind if the day goes wrong,
Perhaps, before the night a song
Will rise around you sweet and clear,
Like magic music in your ear,
And all your weary heart will feel,
Responsive TO it's sweet appeal.
Don't mind il if you lose your chance
1t won't be long before you'll dance
Into the biggest luck of all;
Fight on, with back against the wall,
And somehow to your blade will leap
The strength TO swingit far and deep.
Don't mind it if you feel cast down;
Tomorrow you may wear the crown:
From out the shadows over you
Today, tomorrow sun will Strew
The gladdening and uplifting beams
That Till the heart with brighter
dreams. Baltimore Sun.

ROBBING THE ROBBER.

1t was payday at the Consolidated
Goal and Lumber works, and a mine
worker was returning home with his
monthly eneveope He met a bad
man with pistol, WHO demanded his
wages. The worker handed the money
over.
"Now," said he, "my wife will
think that Eve gambled or drank:
won't you shoot hole in my coat, so
that | can prove that | was attacked
and robbed %
why, certainly so,' answered the
rObber.
The worker held out his coat tail
while the other punctured it with a
bullet.
Another" begged the worker, and
the other fired again.
Another" and there was another
hole in the garment-another, and
still another.
THAT'S all the cartridges I've got, :"
said the robber.
"All the cartridges you've got?"
said the worker, picking up rock
Then give back that money; hand
over your pistol and whatever else
You happen to have. National

BUILDING A GOOD ROAD.

w. S. Stewart, superintendent of
construction of the branch road of the
G. Nj. & ST. P, is building out from
Merrill, returned from Chicago, on
Monday morning, accompanied by
Mrs. Stewart and their son, and are
stopping at The Larkin.
Mr.. Stewart says they have beer
notified to extend the road six miles
further than at first decided, making
about thirty miles of road for imme-
diate construction. He also states
that they are building the finest
piece of railroad that he has ever
constructed.
This seems to Justify the belief in
dulged in by our people, that it is
the intention Of the company TO ulti-
mately push the road through to the
northern lake outlet, as it does not
seem probable that it would warrant
so much expense to build simply a
logging road, and besides their appli-
cation for charter specifies other
wise.
Railroads have been recognized as
Merrill's needs, and the prospect now
indicates realization is at hand

COLD IN THE EAST.

1t has been very different in the
East regarding the weather than in
Wisconsin. We received 2 paper
from George Kolter, who resides in
New Jersey, in which is stated
Not since Feb. 10 and ii, 1899, tif-
teen years ago, have we experienced
such piercing cold weather rs that
during the last 4S hours. At mid
night last night the thermometer
registered 8 degrees below zero. Since
1871 the thermometer has re;sched 6
degrees below zero; in January only
four times. Seven persons were froz-
eli TO death in New York City last
night" Jan. l4th.) While we have
been warm in the West, it has been
biting cold in the East. Perhaps the
East, or New York especially, is suf-
fering from the inactivity OF Tam

Civil War in Colorado

In union there is strength. In
labor unions there is sometimes
strength. and sometimes weak
ness. Labor has as much right
to organize as capital has.
Observation leads us to con-
clude that it matters not how
good is the organization or how
beneficent is the object or pur-
pose, if bad or morally weak
men are at the head. more harm
than good will be accomplished.
Labor is usually more preju-
diced on account Of class or color
than is capital. Labor bars Ne
groes from its organizations
when it can. Capital rarely
does so.
The strike in Colorado has be-
come a civil war. The strikers
appear to be in the wrong. Pres
ident Wilson has on his hands a
civil war which in some respects
is more rerplexing than the war
with Mexico. By asking the aid
of the Rockefellers, the presi-
dent has indicated his inability
to deal with the situation. Oh
for a Grover Cleveland or Theo-
dore Roosevelt at this time!
