from the Pen of j. J. Doherty OH the
Road Question.

For the benefit of any and all parties in
terested in the development of the Bad
Reservation, Odanah. / wish to state that
movement has just begun by some of the
indians to cause the construction of high
way through the reservation south from
Odaiah to the southern border of the res
ervation.
The fact that the Indians hold allottments
today has brought upon themselves the
rights and responsibilities of citizenship as
has been declared by Congress-, and it is the
responsibility that encourages US to demand
our rights. We mtist show our needs and
conditions to the government and with the
cooperation of our iieighborS cause the de-
velopment Of the reservation, which present.
ly acts as blocking stone to Northern
Wisconsin's full development. Many peo-
pie believe that we are dependent upon the
government that the, government is support
ing the Indians; that all we get gratuities;
thai we have no rights or claims to enforce
while the fact is that every treaty disputes
that argument, that if all the records,
if made public, would show the loyalty of
the Indians has been greater and more de-
voted to the government than the people
who make slanderous attacks and who ut
ter erroneous ideas, asserting the cause of
the undeveloped condition of the reservation
due to their idleness the fact is that our goy-
eminent has for the last 100 years or more
made onr Indians grand promises of assis-
tance and by the mere asking obtained great
tracts of land from the Indian, particularly
to mention the mineral of Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota and what return
has our government given US, not ever a

THE PARTY
REORGANIZED
Call to be Issued to Ashland
County Democrats
Shortly Looking Towawd This End III
This County.

A call, we ndelstand, will shortly be
made for meeting i of Ashland county
Democrats to be held at Ashland for the
purpose of reorganizing the Democratic
party in this county. It is a well known
fact that at present the party, so far as this
counry is concerned, is in a badly demor-
allied condition as no prctcnse at maintain
ing an organizatson has been made, an each
election sees il in worse condition than
before. If we ever expect to win victory
in this county we must become thoroughly
organized in every respect and the only wav
this can be accomplished is by havinga re-
organization of the party in the county.
We must hot forget that in 1916 we have
presidential campaign and there is no time
like the present to begin preparing for its
success. A big Democratic rally is what is
wanted SO that in the next two years too
come we will be prepared in every way to
give the enemy broadside that will demor-
aize their ranks, and this can only be done
by starting now and repairing our badly bat
tered fences all along the line. We respect
fully ask.alI Democrats in Ashland county
to lend their aid in the building up of the
Democratic party and putring it on foot
ing that will mean success and victory in
1916. You remember the words of Sheri-
dan s'Rally, boys rally, we're going back. =
They won that battle. Let that be our
slogan and rally to the standard Of cold
Lady Democracy" and win the battle in the
year 1916.

NEW SHIP CONSTRUCTED.

GLASGOW. May 1S-That the ship. yards of the Clyde are turning out several fighting ships Of entirely new types which are expected to prove de- risive factors both in the North Sea and in the Dardenelles, was revealed in an address made 10 a meeting of business men here by Captain J J. Barttelot of the Admiralty office. in urging the necessity of recruiting sev- eral thousand skilled workmen for the ship building works, he said:
 Our main concern up here and on the Clyde is the Fleet These yards are building ships of new types. and great issues depend on their arriving at their stations.
 ITO get these ships ready there are wanted many more men, especially iron workers. In order to beat the enemy We shall have to pool the whole Of our resources of skilled labor and put them on government work. This will mean very considerable dis placement of labor but feel conf- dent, by the readiness with which the of the employers and men have come together, that the ef- forts will be successful
 Many firms have already most willingly met my request to divert men from their works to other firms engaged on government work. and the of the boiler makers and other trades have also given me assistance, But the transference must be done on a larger and larger scale. Transfer of men naturally in- volved financial loss through inabil- 1t yof firms to carry on contracts, but the government will arrange suitable compensation in these cases"
