A LEAGUE OF NEUTRAL NATIONS.

A league of neutral nations could help bring
peace to warning Europe if the members of the
league would stand together. Consequently
the steady growth of neutral sentiment in favor
of the formation of such league must be re-
garded as of the highest Importance.
One neutral nation, by a determined and
righteous stand, has already been able to In
fuenee the modification of Germany's subma-
rine warfare And this nation, it is obvious,
has been able to exert on Germany little or none
of that pressure whichis almost as powerful as
war-economic pressure.
If such neutral nations as those of North and
South America, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
the Netherlands and Spain should stand to-
gether, they could by the exercise of economic
pressure bring to terms almost any belligerent
except perhaps the Teutons. - IL ~.
The conception that such league at the out
set would demand that the Allies and the Teu-
tons lay down their arms is silly. The first
move would not be for immediate peace, but for
observance by the belligerents of the neutral
rights which have been so nonchalantly tramp
led under the feet of the marching soldiers and
ground under the keel Of warships H belliger-
ents continued to disregard neutral rights, the
leagne could order the ports of its, nations
closed to commerce with the offending count
tries. Very likely the belligerents would not
risk this. They would prefer to abandon their
methods & g.g..
ExPresident Taft and several other AIaefi-
can authorities have been in favor Of this neu-
trail ieague for many months and have publicly
advocated it Possibly it is not the best scon-
ceiVable plan, but it might serve to. protect
neutral rights better than they are now being
protected

SEPTEMBER 3, 1915.


The charter recommended by special COM
mittee of the Municipal Research Club deserves
the most careful consideration of the charter
convention which meets next week. and will
receive that consideration from every delegate
WHO is wideawake to the needs of the city and
whose attendance at the convention means
something to him. ~t.s a-...t
ii The charter was drafted by an able commit
tee consisting Of Former Governor w, F. Frear
Judge C. w. Ashford, C. r.. Hemenway, w. H.
Mcclellan, A. IL Tarleton, L. M. Judd and
Judge w. l.. Whitney. 1t is non-partisan
committee. Furthermore, it is composed not of
theorists but of men every one of whom has had
practical experience in municipal politics and
most of whom have had considerable insight
into municipal government.
The remarks of one of these men is specially
Interesting. aI'lI confess that haven been
much in favor of the short ballot form of gov
e1nment :, he said but as I have progressed
with the study Of charter matters and the work
on this draft, / am coming more and more to
favor 1t and the city manager plan. =
His IS the common, one might almost say the
universal experience. Study of American mu-
nicipal government leads inevitably to the com
clusion that efficiency can be promoted by
eliminating some Of the elective offices and put
ting responsibility in the hands Of men who.
can be held responsible.
The Municipal Research Club has no axe to-
grind IN its discussion of charter reform It's
members are not out after nYthing except good
government IT is to be noticed that they have
not recommended !. commission government. g
They would retain the board Of supervisors
who are to appoint city manager The board
would be q thoroughly representative one. The
charter as recommended by tie club Is commits
tee will take away none Of the power Of the
voters, ID fact, its ultimate effect would be TO-
increase the power of voters because it would
center responsibility on those elected to office
and therefore put them more under the control
of popular vote ...,
There will be other charter plans presented
and it is probable that each of them will have
good features. Lively discussion is to be de-
sired, but it is to be hoped that no delegate will
take at the outset the position that the present
charter is good enough because that is ignor-
ance; and that no delegate will assume that
charter revision is an attempt to put some
thing over on the voter, because that is fool

GROESOME FIND
On FARM NEAR
RICHLAND CENTER

The Richland Center Democrat says
that gruesome find was made; near
Hub City in that county few days ago.
Repairs were being made on fan old
house on the Pat Boyle farm, the house
having been occupied by a number of
tenants during the past dozen years.
The door casing of the house had been
torn away from outside, and as the
boards were removed, package fell-to
the ground, which had evidently slipped
down from the upper floor, having
doubtless been placed years since in
between the siding and plastering. The
outside covering to this package was
apparently part of an old fur coat and
when it was unwrapped it disclosed to
the Mortified view of the workers the
bleached out skeletons of twin babes.
Nothing remained but the bones, which
were dry and crisp, mute evidence of
an act of shame on the part of some
person or persons unknown and posi-
bly, of crime unspeakable. Thei skele-
tons have been preserved by Mr.. Boyle
in exactly the same shape asswhen dis
covered, and much conjecture has
passed about the neighborhood as to
the possibility of the time when the
bodies were hidden away in the old
house.

STORM CAUSES
MUCH DAMAGE
IN THIS SECTION

On Monday Madison was high and
dry so far as communicating with the
outside world was concerned. Wires
were all down, both telegraph and tele-
phone. Between Madison and Milwau-
kee the storm caused the most damage,
hundreds of wires being fiat.
Several operators from the Baraboo
telegraph Office were sent to work out
of Madison and other places on account
of wires being down.
Drifts Big as Mountains
A popular business man of Baraboo
ventured into the country and found
himself at the upper end of Mirror
lake. He telepboned back that the
drifts were as high as mountains and
advised those who desired to take
sleigh ride to equip themselves with a
shovel.
Rural Carriers Battle With Storm
The rural carriers had a fine battle
with the storm on Monday and gave uu
one by one after covering to 10 miles.
The snow drifted so that the roads were
impossible in places. The struggle of
the city carriers through the drifts was
almost as strenuous.
On the front of the Rodems store a
drift extended about three feet from
the top and presented a picturesque ap-
.pearance. The drifts in some sections
of the city are deep, deep, deep.

@ MAIHTS busy, progressive nation is today at
the dawn of new of commercial
and social development. The means by
- which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications of personality,
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is now an accom-
plished fact.
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for it's use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tihc and technical skill, transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached in all the other nations of the world.
It is splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends
the human voice out the telephone is scarcely
greater than that of breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 1900
separate vibrations second, can be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over dis
lance Of 3,4oo miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent The human
voice has been made to travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift
ness Of its flight
The Imagination can but feeb1y grasp, much
less attempt to measure the far-reaching signih-
canoe of such a tremendous accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily system of communication that knows
no East, no West, no North, no South. Dialects,
provincialisms, sectional prejudices must event.
