COMPOSITIONS ON
PURE SEED SPECIAL

The country children of this county,
many of whom were visitors when
the Pure Seed Specials passed through
this country several weeks ago, are
entering into an essay contest. Prizes
totaling fifteen dollars have been
offered for the twelve best compost
tions written by rural scholars who
saw the seed special. The cash re-
wards are only for country pupils and
not for city boys and girls as there
were many who came TO this city es-
pecially to visit the special and this
caused quite bit of extra expense
for them besides the time they lost
in coming. a large number of essays
have been entered 10 the satisfaction
of the country school men. The
writers are TO give an account OF
what they saw and what they heard.
The first prize will be three dollars,
the second two dollars and then there
will be ten Others of one dollar each.
No date was set when announcement
of the essay prize contest was made
as the time when all compositions
would have 10 be in. but next Satur-

THE RIVER.

The river is on the rise and with
the usual spring rains, shere will be
plenty of water for floating logs to
market, what few there are TO be
tloated down. The ice is al out of
Big Rib river and crews CT men have
been sent up by the Wausau Lumber
company and the Marathon Paper
Mills company, to drive their logs to
the mills at Rib Falls and TO Roths-
child, respectively. The weather has
not been very favorable to the thaw-
ing up of the rollways, but the men
have to be on hand, ready to rush
the work, as the water will only be
at driving stage for little while.
The Wausau Paper Mills company
is also getting ready to send up log
drivers to Pine, Trappe, Prairie and
Copper rivers and there will be some
thing doing on those streams within
a few days.
The ice on the Wisconsin river is
all out below Mosinee and wherever
there is no swift running water from
Mosinee north. In the ponds above
the various dams the ice is fast going
to pieces. On Thursday, a large sec
tion above the falls in Wausau, broke
loose and passed down the river. I'm
another week there will be very little
ice in the Wisconse.
There are no logs coming to Wau-
sau by the river this spring and it is
an epoch in Wausaus history, as it is
the first year since mills were built
here but what logs have not been
driven to our booms. From now on,
booms and piers in the Wisconsin
river at this point will disappear, as
all logs are brought to the various
mills by rail. During the past
seventy years, it has hardly been pos
sible to go up the river in a boat
without having to drag it over lot
of logs. True, there has been an at
tempt made to keep channel open
on the west side of the river, but
when logs destined for lower mills
had passed by, logs for Local mills
would sometimes fill the river for
three miles above the city. With
everything cleaned out, what a beau
tiful stretch of the Wisconsin river
there will be for six miles above the

WAUSAU SPIRIT.
Baseball Meeting Tuesday Evening
Great Enthusiasm Manifested Fund
Subscribed For Fighting General
Desire For Continuance of War

Last Tuesday evening the city hall
was the scene of a gathering of Wau-
sau Baseball enthusiasts and meet
ing such as the one of that evening
has never been held in this city.
There was general feeling of dis
content, of dissatisfaction and every
one was agreed in saying that Wau-
sau was treated in a mighty poor
manner and that the league directors
ilad had an idea that they could pub
one over on US and that we, blinded
they thought, would not notice it
and would do nothing but say that
we felt sorry to think that Wausau
could no longer have its Lunberjack
team. Such is not Wausau's way and
with every one brimming over with
the "Wausau Spirit we will not oe in
fiuenced upon" 1t was decided on
that evening to leave the baseball
fund, raised for the express purpose
of gathering good team together
and to support it, intact, and to de-
pend on the loyal Wausau fans for
support in the legal case now being
brought up at Green Bay, to which
place the same was transferred a
short time ago. The fans and others
as well, subscribed generously and a
fund of considerable size was very
quickly rounded up with promises
from a number not present. The
directors will be glad to receive re-
mittances at any time. Two funds
are now being carried-the one
for the support of team and the
other for the legal proceedings. Pre-
vious to this year every team in the
circuit has taken whatever the league
has wanted TO give and has let moth
ing but growl of dissatisfaction
escape. We have done this but the
time when we did it is over and a
new method of reception has been
inaugurated. The present situation
was explained at length by f. P.
Regner and the legal aspect was
thoroughly understood by all, after his
speech. g. d. Jones gave talk
which inspired those present and
which put more enthusiasm in every
one. His talk was optimistic and
confidence was given the directors
through it. There were others who
followed with short addresses and
among them were T. #. Delaney, Fred
De Voc and w. F. Neuling. S. r.
Wassersgein reviewed what the di-
rectors had done and what they were
doing to further the campaign. A.
G.. Schmidt also talked for short
time saying that as all knew what
kind of a deal had been given Wau-
sau and as all felt the way they did
the only thing to do was TO fight and
to fight hard to get the team back.
Never before has there been such
evidence of Baseball popularity.
There will probably be other meet
ings in the near future to keep all in
formed in the progress of the case.
The case will be taken TO the highest
court possible if an unsatisfactory
decision is the result of tile Green
Bay trial

there was hardly dissenting vote.
There we're 400 votes all were for
bonding the city excepting 35. This
assures the building of the road,
which will be big boost for our
sister city.
The proposed line is projected to
connect with the 500 at Athens and
with the Northwestern near Antigo,
its entire length being about 40 miles.
Such a line would give Merrill an
almost airline route to st. Paul and
Minneapolis and a more direct con-
nection with the Fox river valley
cities and with Milwaukee and Chi
cago, than it now enjoys.

OUR MUNICIPAL ISSUE.

American Democracy lighted the beacon
lights Of freedom for the world.
Let us not forget that this is nation
Of the greatest freedom; Of the highest wages
to labor; OF the greatest opportunities to all;
and Of the greatest rewards. That it is
nation where the sons Of the poor become
Presidents, Governors and Mayors; and
where honesty, industry, ability and thrift
always succeed
If there are faults in our laws or our
Social system, improvements can be made.
Let us assist in correcting them, TOR in this
land the people rule. Let us build up, and
let us condemn all those who refuse to
build, but insist only in trying to tear down.
Citizens Of Wausau. vote for a mayor
tomorrow! Vote for a principle and dis
regard all else. This State and this Nation
have gone far enough towards delirium.
Our national ideals and our constitution
need the support Of our sober and thought
full citizenship Socialism has no place in
our State our National politics, much less
has it place in our Municipal affairs.
Remember. if you vote for Archie you vote
for Socialism.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1914-04-07

We have no desire to enter into any
discussion Of the revolutionary doctrines Of
Socialism. We have patience and tolerance
tor the honest political views Of all, but we
draw the line on Socialism.
Above all we have no use for those
professional agitators who, under the ban
ners Of so-called Social Democracy, are
preaching and sowing the insidious poison
Of class hatred
We likewise oppose the revolutionary
and, as we believe impractical doctrines Of
the Social Democratic Party.
Thus in this coming Municipal election
it should be understood by all, that the issue
in this city election is the issue Of Socialism
against American Individualism.
Let those who believe in Socialism sup
port and vote for Mr.. Archie. Let those
who are opposed to their doctrines support
and vote for Mr.. Ringle. For there is no
other issue.
Let us not forget that the example Of
this great American Democracy broke the
tyrannical rule Of the European Monarchies
and Of the European Plutocracy; that the
