time. Tt had desperate opposition
from the mayor and this opposition
was brought out pretty well at the
meeting. The mayor went so far as to.
say ssnot by damsite' in his de
nunciation of the plan. Of course the
mayor protested strongly that he was
making the argument on account of
couple of hardworking Polish friends
who worked at the brass mill, but
Alderman Gundlach who threw an
awful lot of strenuous English in dis
cussing the matter, charged the mayor
with a personal interest in the matter.
Gundlach even went so far as to charge
the mayor with having tried to block
the presentation of the petition. Gund-
ZACH declared that he told the mayor
that he would be damned if he would
hold the petition in allegiance
"Your Honor, it pleases me to show
you up, Alderman Gundlach started
in, and the few people who had
stuck the long session out, sat up and
began to take notice expecting that
there was going to. be real Philippe,
but Gundlach sagged off into real Eng
hsh. He talked of Superior man
hood" and shot so far over the head
of the mayor that his words must have
hit telephone pole down on Main
street. The mayor was evidently not
in his element and even the f'poor
working people, seemed to be made
quate for the response. Tt was a sput-
tering time for a full half an hour and
it looked as if the meeting would
break up in a row. The personalities
which were exchanged were interesting
on account Of their lack of elegance,
but out of it all there came only the
hint of the couple of saloon sites which
were in danger.
Alderman Joachim, who had signed
the original petition for the residen-
tial district, was little less strenuous
than the mayor had been but he got
firmly on the mayor s side of the fence
Alderman Smith of the eighth, was
going to express himself on the mo-
uSuIUuS Qu6SblOu Du6 ne I6II LAT SuOfG
on account Of the laundering motions
to adjourn. Then City Attorney Slater
took hand in the fuss-and fuss is
the right word to use-and came out
with this. IF you fellows will just
quit wrangling over nothing long
enough we will get to some important
business. /" Somebody suggested that
a couple of real good saloon sites were
far from nothing when it came to pro-
tecting "real interests of the people -
and some of the aldermen did not like
the reproof Of the city attorney. How
ever the motions to adjourn were with
drawn and the petition for the resi-
Dental district was left in the hands
of the committee.
It is claimed that the signatures on
the petition were little informal, but
this will be something for the com
mittee to investigate. It is probable
that the fight will go on again at the
next council meeting.

To the Editor :

&
AS [ read the appalling details Of
the awful catastrophe of war that daily
confronts us in the press, I am remind
| ed OF the reply made by a father to his
boy who asked, "Pa, what is the diff
ference between civilized man and a
barbarianaD The father answered.
| barbarian is man who knocks
your brains out with a club at arm s
length, while a civilized man blows
them out mile away
The present situation in Europe dem
onstrates, if any demonstration is need
led, that there is no such thing as civ
llized warfare. War is butchery. 1t
IS wholesale murder. It stands for
sorrow, suffering and death. AS well
talk Of constructive tornado as civil
fixed warfare.
Like some mighty Samson, the war
god seems to be at work to pull down
the temple Of civilization, and turn the
clock of progress back into the Dark
Ages. Half of the world is convulsed
by the earthquake of war. The devasta-
tons of fire and sword go on daily. A
continent is torn and ruined by this
awful Moloch. Through the inventive
genius Of man, new and tremendous
dangers face the dismayed inhabitants
IN the cataclysm of war. In terror
they must flee from their homes in the
dead of night, leaving all they have
behind, lest some bomb, spreading ruin
and death, is dropped upon their de-
fenseless heads from the sky.
The nerve-racking terror and the aw-
full catastrophe of ruin caused by all
that attends war of such vast proper
lions as the present one can only be
realized by those who are compelled to
face the situation. Human suffering is
the inevitable symbol Of war. 1t is
sufficient to stagger the imagination,
and cause the heart to grow faint.
Tens of thousands Of men are but the
pawn in the game of the nations. to
be laughtered-fed to the cannon-to
maintain what is called national honor
and commercial supremacy. Many of
the sufferers are the widows and or
phans who are left to mourn in poverty
and unspeakable loneliness as victims
Of the great military struggle. Power
ely, ruin, hunger, and famine are the
real members of the alliance.
Then comes the burden of grinding
taxation to foot the bills caused by
the enormous expenditure of funds nee
essary to defray the expenses of the
bloody contest. What the tremendous
total will be no one can ever guess. IF
the war is much longer continued, it
is sure to bring financial disaster, re-

sulting in the obliteration of credit.
War means paralyzed industries and a
staggering debt. After the glory of
victory and the despair of defeat, will
come business depression
And when will war ceaseg Never
while sin is in the earth. The present
death struggle will doubtless end sooner
or later, when some nation has won a
conclusive victory, or all have worn
themselves out. But peace viii not
be permanent or long continued. Not
till the Prince of Peace comes, and
all the nations are carried away like
chaff from the threshing floor, and the
everlasting kingdom of God is ushered
in, will there be real peace.
Men may talk of peace, and peace
compacts may be negotiated with the
nations; and all this is laudable, to be
sure. But in the end, the work will
come to naught. War will come again
Armageddon is ahead of us, "a struggle
before which the present contest pales
in comparison.
The hope of the world is in the ad-
vent Of the Prince Of Peace. And il
should encourage our hearts to know
that is coming is near. even at the
doors. By His advent He will make
war to cease to the end of the earth
Glad day!
Very sincerely yours.

Leader of Seventh Day Adventist

ADOPT REGULATIONS.
Re-organzied State Athletic Commits
sion Makes Changes in Rules.

Walter III. Liginger Of Milwaukee,
was reelected chairman and Manning
r. Vaughan, Milwaukee, re-appointed
secretary Of the state athletic commits
sion on Monday when the boxing
moguls recognized the board as re-
CURED by the amended Hedding
fight law.
With view TO lettering conditions
surrounding boxing in Wisconsin, the
commission adopted number of new
rules and amended some of their old
regulations which, experience indicate
ed, needed changing.
Hereafter, spectators sitting near
the ringside win not be covered with
water and rosin by towel swinging
seconds, as the commission will recon-
mend that all clubs require seconds to
use palm leaf fans instead of the time
honored towel in tanning boxers. The
art of towel swinging affords lot of
exercise for the swinger but is of lit
tie value i'll reviving a boxer and
causes perfect storm of rosin to set
tie in the eyes and hair of spectators
The committee also adopted a rule
which will tend to do away with the
wild splashing Of water over spectators
seated near the boxer S corners.
Disputes over referees between box
ers and clubs and between boxers will
be settled by the commission hereafter.
Constant kicking over who shall be
the third man in the ring has tired
the boxing public and in the future
if an agreement can not be reached
twelve hours before bout the com
mission will appoint referee. Boxers
who fail to appear to be examined and
weighed in at the time required by the
commission will draw a vacation of
from three to six months if they can
not furnish good excuse for their
non-appearance. Another rule which
will please the fans requires that the
weight of all boxers be announced
from the ringside. This rule has sell
dom been enforced heretofore, but in
the future the announcers will be or
dered to give the weights as taken by
the commission IS inspector at weighing
in time. Clubs will be required to file
copies of all boxing contracts with the
commission in the future, and the com
mission will draw up contract blank,
which all clubs will be required to use.
Inspectors, who heretofore have given
their services to the commission with
out recompense, will be paid a small
fee for their work in the future.
The commission also adopted rule
that hearings on license applications
will be held fifteen days prior to the
expiration Of the Licenses now in force.
All would-be promoters will be given
an opportunity to tell why they should
receive license, and tho commission
will award the licenses to those who
in its official opinion are best fitted
to conduct a boxing club. Only two
license will be granted in Milwaukee,
and indications already point to hot
scramble for the two plums. The two
licenses now in force there do not ex-
pire until November, and no hearings
will be held on new applications until
early In that month.

May Tear Down Factory

Srong complaints were lodged with
the council against the condition of the
factory Of the Stick lite Fly Paper
company 1t was claimed that the
walls were bullying out and liable to
fall and endanger the lives Of pedes-
.trians. The matter was referred to the
committee on buildings with instruc-
tions to see that the place be guarded
pending some action on the part of the
owners to repair it.
The ordinance providing for the is
suance of bonds to raise the money
voted by the people for the purchase
of park lands was given its first read
ing and it will come up for final action
at the next meeting of the council.
AS the ordinance has already been sub
mitted to the people at special cleo
ton it will be impossible to demand
another referendum after the passage
Of the ordinance.
