TRUE iNWARpNEss OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring of 1914, occur
red the capture OF Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology, But our Admiral de
manded "a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au
thOrity to + the armed forces
OF the United States. Without
wall Ing for the passage OF the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shipload
Of ammunition for Huerta was
about 10 enter that port, There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
In which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred MeXicans
we're killed. This, OF course,
was a Our dead soldiers
we're praised for dying like
heroes in a val Of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
lion for a%ffronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and It's
cargo was delivered TO Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed thar I'VE did NOT
20 to Vera Cruz 10 force Huerta
10 salute the fiae." We are
told that we went there ito
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in our demand that
Huerta must go" That Is. we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question OF the
salute was a mere pretext.-

Roosevelt ApplaudS
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box At
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes de
livered his speech Of acceptance and
vigorously applauded every telling
point
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed In response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of Teddy" Ted
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddy, and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T Is an admirable speech and |
wish to call attention to the following
points:
II am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly. and worse han
folly. OF Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and OF the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover. ! am very glad OF the
straightforward manner in which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
ttoD by the n in which he al.
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
we're not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count
"As Mr.. Hughes said, 1t Is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count. Az Mr.
Hughes pointed out. there is no doubt
that II Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction OF American lives by
the sinking OF the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds, and
therefore in the enormous majority OF
cases the use OF strong words renders
1t unnecessary ever to have o u
10 strong deeds.
Again. Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
acteristically straightforward fash
Ion OF the Outrages committed on mu'
nitions plants, and all men, whether
citizens OF our W land, who had In
any shape or way abetted OF condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Hughes. il President. will protect
these domestic American interests and
punish offenders against them with
t1n FOO i acr and nrnnphnDCC
that he showed in dealing with the
powers Of evil at Albany.
Brought Nation to IsnomIny.
Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes just characterization OF
Mr.. wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property OF Americans In
Mexico and on the high seas l hap
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period Of American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
"a government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when It confesses
Its inability to protect the lives and
the property OF Its citizens. A gov
ernment which has come to this has
failed in discharging the primary func-
ton OF government and forthwith
leases to have any reason for exist
ing
mr.. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with s~elf-restraint, but with
that it is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
administration has failed to discharge
that 1t is precisely this point OF
lgnominy to which he has reduced
the nation over which he is Presi-

The foregoing words describing the

A Growing Creamery

Up in the north end of tn
county in the village of Cornu
copiais located a creamery whicl
is making goGd aud is bound i
become one Of the leading
creamerlss in this part Of thu
state. The creamery was start
ed less than a year ago whei
the prospects did not seem very
bright but since that time it has
had a steady growth and the
success Of the institution is now
assured.
AS everyone knows the village
of Cornucopia,is composed of a
bunch of hustlers and when they
start a thing they do so with
the intention of making it a sue
cess. Such was the case with
their creamery.
The outlook for COWS adjacent
to the creamery was not prom
Using from the start but the
farmers Immediately became
interested and started TO increase
their herds with the result that
nearly three hundred cows are
now to be found in the radius OF
territory covered by the cream
cry. The herds will be enlarged
the coming spring and the plan
is now underway for the bring
ing into that territory of fine
bunch Of COWS which will be
distributed among the farmers.
The creamery is cooperative
affair and is in charge of l. j.
Hebert, who is doing much to
make it success. During the
winter months the creamery has
been making about 1900 pounds
of butter each week and this
amount will be greatly increased
in the spring. The quality oil
the butter made is fine and the
sales are far in excess of the
output at the present time.
The ceamery is doing much
to open up the Cornucopia region
as a dairy section.

Business Outlook
Is Very Promising
Continued from Page |

Business with the Kenfeld-
Lamoreaux company has been
growing steadily and some large
new contracts have been made
which will insure the plant of a
steady run.
The coal docks of the North
western Fuel company look for a
busy season. About forty men
are employed about the fuel
docks during the summer, and at
times this number is far exceed
ed.
The business of shipping
material from this city to the
plant Of the DUPONT company
will make things somewhat lively
at the Commercial dock this
season. A much larger amount
of soda will be received the com
ingsummer and boats will be
continually at the dock while
navigation is open.
Building in the city will be
brisk this summer. Several
large building projects are now
planned, the one being eight
dwellings for the H. HI. Peavey
company. and the other being
seven new modern residences
for the Dupont company. Many
individuals are also contem-
plating building this season.
The paving of Bayfield, street
will also help business. Six or
seven blocks of main street will
be paved this year, and while
this work is being done a large
number of men will be employed.
The paving will involve an ex-
penditure of about twenty-five
Thousand dollars.
The new Omaha depot will
also be built the coming summer
and the old depot will be re-
moved and converted into a
freight shed. The new depot
will be modern throughout.
| Railway business in the city
shows indications Of picking up
and local railway men expect a
busy season.
The large amount of work
contemplated and under way is
having a tendancy to raise
values of local realty and lots
are being snapped up by eager
purchasers.

Being somewhat interested in the
Public Schools and especially so in
our own schools at Washburn, !
would like to know why pupils are
sent home to find out certain things,
for instance: why is the State OF
Wisconsin called the Badger State?
Find out from your parents. Time
and again teachers are ordering
their classes to find out at home.
i Are the parents to be examined
by the teachers with the children as
mediums or what? Are not the
teachers there to teach? Is child
benefited in any way by this order
ofthings!
There was School Board in a
certain place who told the superin-
tendent to inform the teachers that
they must stop that practice find
out at home, and it was promptly
done to the satisfaction of parents
and children alike.
Again: Are scholars benefited in
any way by being informed by a
teacher that he does not believe in
the story Of the creation of Adam
and Eve and other Bible stories?
Does he not destroy Bible truth, inn
parted in the minds of the young?
Is it Darwinism and the higher
critic that is playing in somebody s
upper story? Please keep it out of
the Public School.

IRON RIVER

T. N. Okerstrom, of Port Wing,
is at the head of ompany which
has acquired the falls at the quarry
on the Iron River, two miles south
OF Orienta, together with the flow-
age rights on the stream above, and
there il a reasonable prospect that
power plant will be installed be-
fore another season passes.
The site is an admirable one In
every way for power purposes, and
has been looked upon with a covet-
GUS eye for nearly a generation,
The site at the falls was heldrby an
eastern man. who held the property
at such a figure as to be considered
prohibitive. However Mr.. Oker-
strom opened negotiations for it q
little over a year ago, and after
some dickering, closed deal for it's
purchase. The nowage rights above
were then acquired, so everything
now is in shape TO 90 on with the
Developments soon as the necessary
funds can be procured to carry the
work throug to completion.
