I have no wish my neighbor to outshine
In fancy living or in raiment fine,
But if some good arise and he pursue it

And prove myself in deed well as letter
As good as he, if not a wee bit better.

DR.. c. J. Hexamer. president of the National
Gernlan-American Alliance said in a Flag Day
address in Philadelphia: True Americanism,

est OF the United States against any aggression
from whichever side it may come. 1t follows
faithfully and loyalty where our flag leads" On

The German-American Alliance and the sub
sidiary societies-Turnverein, Schuctzenverein and

leaders: I'VE have 100000 votes, and then
again the Irish are with US, especially since
the revolt in Dublin and the Sein Fein execu-

combination, get rid of all of it, no

Frankford Arsenal are used for the
storage Of powder and high explosives
entering into the manufacture of small
arms and field artillery ammunition
at that establishment When first
built, these magazines were isolated
from the main Arsenal Building. but
gradual extension Of the plant has
brought the arsenal and magazines
into such close touch that & condition
Of danger to the men employed there
is believed to exist.
Furthermore. the increased manu-
facture OF shells at Frsnkford has
necessitated an increase in the stores

sidered safe. though it has sometimes
been known to explode with destruc-

requests and is paid for by the United

A draft of the proposed amendment
already has been submitted TO Speaker

retary of War Ingraham. The draft
sets forth. among other things. that
practically all carriers in the United

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-R Root, DR.. Kilmer'S Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting OF burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

Liquor Fight Looms.

That a hot battle is going to be
waged at the Coming session of the
Legislature on the liquor question
was intimated when William L. Evjue,
newly elected member of the assembly
from this district, announced that he
would introduce a bill providing for a
statewide referendum ia Wisconsin.
The bill will provide for the submits
sion of the question for the abolish
ment of the liquor business in Wiseon-
sin to a vote of the people at the gen.
eral election to be held in November,
1918. Ia the event of the ratification
of the bill by the people of the state
1t is proposed that the law shall go
into effect either in July, 1919. or JAN
uary L, 1920.
AT the coming session of the legis-
iature l shall introduce a bill provid-
ing that the question of statewide pro-
hibitiOn be submitted TO vote of the
people ut the general election In No

having this held at the general cleo
tion in November it can be conducted
at little expense. Every state around

SHERIFF CHARGED
WITH MISCONDUCT
kenosha County Official Sum-
noned Before Governor.
FAILED TO MAKE AN ARREST
Charge Is Made That Officer Did Not
Honor Indiana Requisstion and
Failed 20 Explain
His Act.

Madison.-Charged with gross mis-
conduct and malfeasance in office,
Sheriff A. Stahl of Kenosha county,
was ordered, in a precept issued by
Governor Philip, to appear at hear
ing in the executive chamber on
Wednesday, December 20, TO show
cause why he should not be removed
from office.
This executive action is based upon
a petition by L. G. Whittet, acting pri-
vate secretary to Governor Phillip,
who alleges than on September %,
1915, an executive warrant was issued,
upon requisitiOn by Gov. Samuel M.
Ralston of Indiana, for the arrest of
Peter Jansen, charged with child de-
sertion in the Hoosier state, in Keno
Sha county.
The warrant was forwarded to
Sheriff Stahl with directions to make
the arrest and report at once to the
Indiana authorities. Sometime later
Governor Philip received complaint
from Governor Ralston of Indiana
that the arrest had not been made nor
any reason given for failure by the
KenOsha county sheriff. Stahl was at
once notified by Governor Philip of
the complaint and directed to execute
the warrant promptly and make re-
port.
On October 81 the Hoosier execu-
tive again complained of failure of
Stahl to make the arrest or report and
a third executive notice was forward
ed to the Kenosha official and also to
District Attorney Alfred L. Drury.
calling attention to the delinquency
and directing prompt action. A few
days ago another complaint was re-
ceived from the Indiana executive.
These alleged failures and refusals
to report or make explanation are the
basis of Mr.. Whittet's complaint.

Governor to Aid Guardsmen.

The upheaval among guardSmen over
the enlistment clause which demands
three years of reserve duty has
ask Wisconsin congressman to intro
duce and support a bill to relieve the
men from the three-year reserve Serv-
ice provision.
Wisconsin is not the only state in
which objection Is being raised to the
form of oath submitted by the federal
government.
The oath alters the conditions of
previous enlistment contracts by pro-
viding that all troops shall remain
three years in the service.
Adjt Gen. Orlando HOlway in an in
terview with Governor Philip pointed
out that many of the guardsmen who
signed the oath probably did not fully
understand the agreement into which
they were entering. Because of this
understanding General Holway be-
lieyes that some step should be taken
to relieve the men from the reserve
clause. Governor Philip holds the
same view. Judging from the feeling
that has developed in other states over
the matter, the corrective measure sug-
gested by Governor Philip will have
widespread backing.
Wisconsin will take the initiative in
the movement to release guardSmen
from the three-year reserve provision
and the governor feels certain that
congress will give the subject fair hear
ing.
