PEACE MEETlN G.

There was a special peace meeting
Of the Citizens Association at the IL
brary auditorium last night. 1t was
called in response to the letter of eX'
preslden Taft written as president OF a
national peace society. President
Frazier opened the meeting. Harry f.
Kelley presided and made a few re-
marks, deprecating both Tolstoian non
resistance and war for wars sake.
The principal number of the program
was paper by Hon. John Schuette.
1t was in the form of a three-corner-
ed dialogue in which the advocate Of
the preservation of international peao @
by an International court Of arbitra-
tion overcame all the objections and
opposing arguments.
Judge Baensch being called on gave
az eloquent talk, packed with good
ideas. He took issue with Mr.. Shuet,e
on sevreal points. He said that the
latter wasn't as peaceful as he made
out. He said that democracy makes
for peace because all wars have dy
nastic motive. He said education
would eventually abolish war but that
it will take generations. He seemed
to have but little faith in Mr. Schuette S
peace tribunal A resolution was ad-
opted iavoring all movements looking
toward international peace.
There was no mention Of any of the
attempts to bring the present European
war to clsse.
Rev. j. G. Smith offered an invoca-
tion. About 60 citizens were present
and the meeting lasted till about 10
o'clock.

be whipped into some shape for the
council to adopt or reject.
On the initiative of c. Schroeder
the council appropriated such part OF

free ice rink. The mayor appointed
as committee to attend to it, G.. Schroe-
der Thorison and Georgenson.
The free vaccination bills in were
ordered paid. One physician drew
$50 at 40 cents per patient.
The city treasurer reported in the
names of twenty-five persons from
whom he has been unable to collect
personal property taxes assessed in
1914. The total is only about $l25,
the smallest in years. To balance his
accounts he was allowed that much.
There are four persons owing over ten
dollars each and three under 81. 90.
The city attorney was instructed "

have departed for regions unknown.

KAPITz GETS DIVORCE

Wm Kapitz OF this city was granted
an absolute divorce from Anna Kspitz
Of Chicago in Chicago courts last week
the court refusing to allow the wife al
imony and claims for expenses incurred
in an action which she instituted in
court here two years ago. No attorney
fees were granted.
Kapitz, in his complaint, charged
that his wife was unfaithful and had
lived with another man in Chicago, the
charges being suhstantiated by neigh
bors OF the couple who knew her as
the wife OF the man. Mrs. Kapitz de-
MED the charges when called as a wit
ness and the court intimated that she
might be prosecuted for perjury.
Both principals in the case are well
known here, Mr.. Kapitz being mu'
sician playing with local orchestras
Edgar Jonas, Mishicot boy, now a
Chicago lawyer, appeared for kapitz in
the case.

HYPHENATED AMERICANS.

Whatever American citizen cherish
es hyphen in these days ought TO
take it of and have good look at it in
the cold light Of facts He is going
comfortably to his business and pleas
ure as usual, with nothing worse to
fear than punctured tire or a crowd
ed street car. If he has sons under
eighteen years CT age he knows they
are snug at school or at home.
II he were still under the flag to
which his hypen sentimentally attaches
him he would probably have compara-
lively little business left to look aftor.
A dark, chaotic welter would constitute
his outlook on the breadwinning side.
Heart breaking search of the lists OF
dead and wounded would be his chief
domestic occupation II he had sons OF
military age.
And all for nothlng-all for paper
dogmas Of statecraIt which have not
the least relation to his own real inter
tolo llld IllC lILtIC6lS VI MS HlDOIN.
If he were French or German, Austrian
or Russian, or even British, he would
be caught in the vast destruction
wrought bya failure Of government and
civilization in Europe. The lag to the
right Of his hyphen is the only big one
left that stands for those things that
make the lot of the twentieth century
Caucasion better than that of the six
teenth century Indian.
Having looked at his hyphen in the
light Of these facts, maybe he will stop
parading it, This is the worst time
there ever was to invite American ad-
miration for any European system.
In the main this war proves the es-
sential solidarity OF the American pub
lie, and no one objects to any citizens S
entertaining in private whatever sym.
pathies he pleases; but If any exceptional
citizen OF foreign birth or foreign-born
pare nts feels SO indissolubly welded to
his hyphen that he must flourish 1t in
other peoples faces, the logical course
for him is to take the next east bound
steamer and shoulder musket.-Sat-
