COMMENDS SEN. MULBERGER
The Jefferson County Union Gives
Good Reasons For The Com
menddtion.

The Jefferson County Union is an
Independent Republican paper. On gen.
eral principles it believes in republican
doctrines and just as firmly believes that
the republican party is the best fitted to
administer the government of this state
and nation. But the Union don't pro-
pose to make narrow minded political
bigOt of itself.
We believe that it is just as necessary
for the welfare of this state that we
have sound, resolute democratic party
as it is that we have that kind of a re-
publican party For that reason the
Union wishes to especially commend the
course pursued by State Senator Null
berger of Watertown in the organization
of the present Legislature. He stood up
manfully against the effort of United
States Senator Husting to have the mem
bers unite with the La Toilette faction
for the control of the assembly and sem
ate, and thus defeat Governor Phillip
and the people Of the state in carrying
out the policy of reducing taxation.
Two things evidently governed Senator
Mulberger in his action. ID He belived
that the vote of the people last fall
should be respected and obeyed. That
Was patriotic on his part and fundament-
ally sound and just. ~ AS a simon
pure democrat, he did not propose to
chase off after proposition that would
make the democratic party of the state
mere tool of La Toilette and his crazy
notions, as we'll as fit subject for the
contempt of all sound thinking men of
both parties. He believes in maintain
ing his self-respect as a democrat as
well as the representative of his district.
The democratic party of Wisconsin has
long enough been the trading stock of
La Toilette, and Mr.. Mulberger does not
approve of the record it had made, and
so with certain other self-respecting
democratic senators he stood up and
was counted as democrat. In doing so
he proved that he was a true democrat
and no scene-shifter for the La Toilette
and Husting faction. The Union begs
to tender it's sincere commendation for
his course in this respect.

DELIVERS INTER-
ESTINC ADDRESS
Burt Williams of Ashland Gives
Interesting Talk at Masonic
Temple. Friday Evening.

| Last Friday evening, Burt Williams
ex-mayor of Ashland. delivered an inter
esting address at largely attended
meeting in the Masonic temple, "Com-
munity Clubs was his subject and he
handled it in convincing manner and
made a lasting impression upon the
minds of those present. Many farmers
and their wives were in attendance and
were most favorably impressed with the
thoughts and expressions OF the speaker.
The Business Mems association under
whose auspices the lecture was given,
Will use for its slogan the suggestion of
Mr.. Williams: "a Bigger, Better. Buster
WatertOwn' and no doubt will in the
future put forth every possible effort to
increase the population and wealth of
the city. The speaker said in part:
Community clubs, the speaker de-
clared, are now devOting themselves to
many different activities. They have
laid aside the old idea that the way to
develop community is to take factories
away from some other community and
transplant them in their own city, and
are recognizing the great truth that the
development of a city can be carried on
successfully by the development of the
things within and adjacent to it.
The best club, it was asserted is the
one which successfully carries on the
greatest number of these varied activi-
ties. The people of the city are the
greatest factor in the development of
the city, and their physical and educa-
tlOnal wants should be supplied"
"The growth of city depends not up
on the advantages of the city, but upon
the people in it, declared the speaker.
Superior was a city of nearly $1,000 in
hahitants before Duluth was ever heard
of. Superior had all the natural advant-
ages. Duluth none except that it was on
the lake. For it is built on rocky
hillside, where street cannot be laid or
basement excavated without blasting
into the solid rock. The 500 railroad
spent million dollars for tunnel and
approaches to get into the city. But the
people of Duluth were determined to
build their town. Today it is twice the
size of Superior"
Mayor C. A. Kading introduced the
speaker, who ''made good" in every par
ticular

Kansas City, No. March 20-Louis
Bond Cherry will apply for patents on
process by which he says it will be
possible to market gasoline at profit
for three cents a gallon.
81 can take 10000 gallons of 30
gravity distillates and convert it into
1900 gallons of gasoline of 65
gravity" he says. s'By my process all
the volatile parts of the crude oil are
turned into gasoline at any desired
gravity and it takes less than one
cubic foot of natural gas to gallon
of gasoline produced and not to eX-
ceed five kilowats of electricity for
the conversion of 10000 gallons of
crude oil day. This will make the
cost of conversion less than three
fOurths cent a gallon.
"Cherrys process, an electro chemi-
cal one, differs from all others in that
he uses nothing in the conversion of
oil to gasoline but heat, pressure, ma
tural gas and electricity"
Mr. Cherry is a son-in-law of c. F.
