EVERY informed thinking man sees
not alone the threatened dangers of
but the damage now being wrought by
the propaganda of radicalism in this
country. But so few are informed
The threatened danger is that the un-
informed, led by self-seeking, dishon-
est demagogues, will be swept off their
feet by their specious argument and,
thus, the country will be swept into
social chaos. The present damage is
that of what we call ''social unrest >
strikes, destruction of property, loss Of
wages, a spirit of law defiance, and,
worst of all, distrust and class-hatred.
And as thinking men, we admit both
the threatened danger and the present
damage But what are we going to do
about it? There can be but one answer
to the foregoing question. Informed
thinking men must make it their bust
ness to teach the uniformed thinking
man that along the way the dema-
gogues are trying to lead him lies mad
ness. The radical leaders are speaking
to him every day in lurid page and with
poisoning tongue; give him cool reason
ing and self-convincing facts as anti
dotes. If the threatened dangers be-
come facts in this country, the blame
will be upon the employers of labor for
neglecting their duty to inform their
workmen; if the present damage is
suffered to continue, the blame will fall
in the same place.

ObstructiOnists Scored by Taxpayers
League.

The Home Rule and Taxpayers
League of Wisconsin on Monday issued
a statement to members advising them
to continue to watch their members in
the legislature and see that the will of
tho people as expressed in the state
election last November is carried out.
The statement in part is as follows:
'"The legislature has entered upon
the sixth month of the present session,
and the end is not yet in sight. When
it convened last January no one looked
forward to so long session. There
was large amount of work to do, but
that work had been clearly and plainly
blocked out by the people. Taxes were
too high; extravaganza prevailed. Com
mission government had grown until it
had usurped functions and exercised
the powers of every other department
of government.
''For what purpose is the session pro-
longed into the summer months? The
only answer is, small politics, an en-
deavor on the part of a few to thwart
the will of the people, refusal to re-
spect the decision rendered at the bal
lot box.
''The fight has now come to be one
against lot of officeholders, who pro-
pose, if possible, to continue drawing
high salaries. The old bipartisan COM
bination, that brought the state into it's
present condition, is throwing every
conceivable obstacle in the way.
Observation-Disclosures backed by the larg-
est officeholding crowd that ever bur
dened the state, are blocking legisla-
ton. A campaign of misrepresentation
is being carried on. From within and
without the state, reports, some fool
ish and others malicious, are being cir
culated, but an intelligent public will
not be misled."

NOTHING will spread the fame of
Wisconsin as a state of prosperity and
pleasure more than a stimulation of
automobile touring. With this in view
the Wisconsin Advancement associa-
ton is having several through routes
of good highways marked through the
state, each with it's distinctive sign, so
that the tourists may travel them from
one end of the state to another without
asking a question or entertaining a
doubt The tiresome feature of tour
ing is the problem of finding the road
and keeping ON it. Road corner signs
help, but they are too often conspicu-
Gus for their absence and when found
the tourist usually has to stop to con-
suit them. With route for perhaps
several hundred miles carrying the
same sign, and with the letters ''R'
or ''L" conspicuous before all turns,
the driver merely needs to keep going,
fully assured that he is on the right
road. Such is the condition it is de-
sired to have in Wisconsin. Some of
the counties propose not only to mark
these through routes, but with other
signs to mark all roads within their
borders that connect cities and villages.
Such marking is cheaper than corner
signs and will be of more service to all
especially to the tourist.

A STEADY increase of postal receipts
is now reported and constitutes indis-
putable proof of returning prosperity
The European war began July 28th, last
year. During July, 1914, postal re,
ceipts at the SO largest post offices in
creased At per cent over the receipts
at the same post offices during July,
1913, showing that the normal increase
of postal revenues was maintained up
to the very moment of the great war.
For August, Immediately following the
outbreak of hOstiities abroad, the re-
ceipts at the so largest post offices re-
vealed a decrease of 1.2 per cent by
comparison with the receipts of Aug
ust, 1913. In November the worst of
the depression in its bearing on postal
revenues was experienced. For that
month the decrease was 5. Il per cent.
Since that time there has been steady
Improvement. The April returns from
the so largest post Offices show that the
percentage of decrease dropped to 2. 10
per cent.

The first six months of this year tell
the story of unprecedented prosperity
in the automobile business. Some man
ufacturers have sold a good many
trucks to the warning nations Of Eu-
rope, the total exports of trucks since
the war began amounting to $18, 737, )
487. But the passenger car business in
the United States has doomed as never
before. Sales are 80 per cent greater
than for the same period last year.
With some makers the increase is even
greater. Therefore Jim Clancey's
statement that the farmers about
Stoughton were buying more auto
mobiles than wagons this year is not
so wide of the mark after all.

Unscrambling.

The work of the legislature at the
present session is unique. At no other
time in the history of the state has a
legislature convened having for it's
main purpose such change in public
policies as demands a repeal or mOditi
cation Of so many laws.
The reason for this is obvious. 1t is
not matter of surprise. For many
years the state has been under the con-
troll of not only one party, but of
certain faction of that party. The re-
suit was, as it always is under such
circumstances, we went to extremes.
Moderation was brushed aside. Old
landmarks were lost sight OF. Funda-
mental principles were entirely disre-
garded when they stood in the way of
some proposed change. An almost in
sane desire for something new, for ex-
perimenting in government for concen-
tration of power seemed to possess
those in official position. The result is
that no thoughtful man can compare
our Wisconsin statutes as they were
ten or fifteen years ago with our stat
utes as they are today and think for a
moment they were both enacted for
the government of the same people. In
every field of public activity changes
were effected. Nothing bearing the
stamp of good, even though it has
stood the test of experience, was al
lowed to remain. The political icono-
clast was abroad in the land. Our sys-
tenn of taxation, our school system, our
industrial system, our system OF road
building, our public utilities system,
our water-power system, all had to be
changed, no matter what the cost, no
matter what the effect on popular
rights. The slogan was,-out with the
old; in with the new. Even the con-
stitution was not safe. 1t, too, must
be torn to pieces. 1t is said that every
disease must run its course. 1t proved
so in the so-called progressive craze
that afflicted Wisconsin for many years,
but when the disease had run its course
the patient was we'll nigh exhausted.
We need not, here and now, refer to
the evils that resulted, to the burdens
that were laid on the people. Suffice
it to say that the present legislature
seems to fully understand the situa-
ton, to have the case we'll in hand. In
a businesslike way it is proceeding,
cautiously yet fearlessly, with the work
the people have given it to do. Above
ALL we congratulate ourselves on the
fact that party lines are broken. Re-
publicans and democrats, forgetting
party quarrels, are standing Loyalty to-
gether in support of measures that
promise relief to the people-a return
to real, popular, local self-government.

SENATOR HUsTING's payment of his
political debts to Senator La Toilette
in the circulating medium of the pie
counter is causing no end of party
trouble and dissatisfaction. When a
fat and juicy postoffice is snatched from
the drooling jaws of several 'deserv-
ing" and very hungry democrats and
handed over to Bobite republican, the
poignancy of the ensuing disappoint-
ment yelps and banks may be imagined.
Take the case of the reappointment as
postmaster at Monroe of Mr.. Odell.

plantations to his democratic friends

WITH arrangements completed for
the worlds greatest 500 mile automo-
bile derby over the worlds fastest two
mile course, the first annual motor race
on the Chicago Speedway Park track
will be held on Saturday, June 10Th.
Trials of every nature and description
have presented themselves in the ar
engagements of this great race but re-
ward finally favored the Speedway
Park officials. The postponment made
necessary by the great Chicago street
car strike, which fortunately ended
after two days hardship upon the Chi
cago populace, did not mar the great
contest. In fact it furnished the con-
traitors, rushing the work at the park.
more time in which to properly COM
plete their work, and. when the auto
mobile enthusiasts from all parts of the
United States gather at the haywood
course on Saturday, most wonderful
sight will greet their eyes. Three
worlds records have been established
on the new Chicago course since the
first day of the trials and with each
new record, a mile was added to the
speed average on a mile. The big Chi
cago race, which will be over the wood
en- course of two miles for distance
of 500 miles, promises to bring out
many surprises and great speed. The
fastest time ever made in 500 mile
grinde was established at indianapolis
on May 81 when Ralph DePalma, win
ner of the contest, showed an average
of SO miles an hour for the 500 miles.
The Chicago track is seconds faster
than the brick course at Indianapolis
and if the trial speed is to be accepted
as criterion, there should be startling
events come to pass there next Satur-
day. The big race, which should con-
sumo about five and one-half or six
hours, will be started off at 10 O'Clock
in the morning.

GET A FLAG

In this day of agitation on the sub
ject of national preparedness one OF
the simplest and most practical steps
to take would be for each family to
keep an American flag where the
children can see it from day today.
Then teach the children that the
flag of their country means more to
them than life itself, that it must be
handled with care, and looked up to
and revered as the symbol of liberty
and the champion of right, jpstice
and humanity.
1t is difficult to instill ideas OF
patriotism into the heads OF present
day adults who have been reared in
an atmosphere of growing indiffer-
ence, out ours will be a better nation
fifty years hence if we of today but
perform even a fraction Of our duty
to our offspring and to our country.

THEIR SALVATION

How the local merchant can pre-
vent the mail-order house from inter
fering with his rightful trade is point
ed out in a very forceful editoria: by
w. S. harrington, publisher OF the
Morristown, Mimi, Press, i'll a recent
issue. The article follows:
sMen in the various mercantile
businesses are continually finding
fault because tine home people per-
sist in trading out OF town or else
sending to catalogue houses. People
will do this unless the home mer-
chants offer them inducements equal
to what the mail-order houses give.
And the simple thing about it is the
fact that it is not what the big houses
offer; it is the name in which it Is
offered. They do it by issuing big
catalogues at a great expense. II the
home merchant would do a little in
yestigating they would find that with
a liberal space at a moderate cost IN
the home paper they could not only
compete with the big houses, but
eventually get the whole trade OF the
home people,. In fact, an advertise
ment in the home paper is the only
means with which the merchants car
stop this m%ail-order business. 1t Is
their only salvation"

KULTURED NEUTRALITY

What is called the Gerioan Univer-

World has been holding a meeting in
this city behind closed doors with
representatives present from the iac-

was said the public is allowed to
know nothing except that American
critics OF Germany were severely
criticised and that American n%eutrali-
~ came in for much ridicule and de-

1t is therefore to be inferred that
rothing was said about German or
German-American neutrality in the
United States save possibly i'll terms
of approval. We are not permitted to
believe that a single crit.:a. or de-
mandatory word was heard against
German activitie. in blowing up rail-

passports, in dynamiting and plotting
to dynamite ships and fact,ties, III

ONCE OVERS

1t is early to talk of Christmas
spirit and Christmas cheer, but it is
time we were planning ahead, not
only for our own family, but that The
real spirit of the coming season may
be more comprehensive.
1t is the season to scatter bright
ness among others, particularly
among the poor and needy.
On the day when others have so
much to make them light-hearted and
gay, the poverty and sorrow of the
less fortunate is emphasized.
In many hearts Christmas creates
a dangerous feeling Of hatred.
This is because there is such All
abundance OF joy for some people and
so little for others.
Let us do all we can to overcome
the feeling of envy.
Aim to make the sun shine through
the clouds which envelop the sad and
heavy-hearted.
Large expenditure is not necessary
to bring about a beautiful result. A
small investment lovingly made is all
that is necessary.
To get the best results, begin early
and do not miss any Of the generous
and thoughtful deeds for those who
need the good things and good cheer
which you are able to give.
