The Duty of Voters.

1t is the duty of all voters to 90 to
the polls on primary day, September 3,
and on election day, November Z, and
cast their ballots for those men who
they desire shall hold county, state and
national Offices.
This duty has been neglected, partic.
ularly in Wisconsin, so that compare
lively few men have been selecting the
Office-holders who are supposed to rep
resent all the people.
Since the primary law went into eff
feet in this state, there has been a
steady falling off in the number of
voters who go to the polls. Further,
under the complicated ballot system in
vogue in Wisconsin, the number of
voters who vote for the candidates for
any one Office have been from 20 to 90
per cent less than the total number of
voters who go to the polls. That is, if
100 men went to the polls, they would
forget or neglect to mark their ballots
for all the candidates, so that from 20
to 30 per cent of their votes is lost.
In addition, therefore, to its being
the duty of every voter to vote, it is
also his duty to study the ballot and
become familiar with all its details. so
that he may vote intelligently and vote
for one candidate for each office.
Just why men have been SO derelict
in going to the polls is problem which
is not easy to answer Certainly. hay
ing two elections, one in September and
one in November, each two years. in
addition to the spring election which
comes every year, does not tend to sus-
tain interest. On the contrary, it less
ems it. The primary law has so disor-
gained political parties that no con-
certed effort is made to get the voters
to the polls, except by the candidates
themselves. Tt has become a personal
and not a party matter.
The result is that less than half of
the electorate take any part in the
nomination and election of the men who
handle public Wausau Record

A twelve year old boy, whose head
did not get very far above the
top of the bench Of Judge Randall in
the Municipal Court, was brought in
this morning for arrangement on a
charge of burglary. The boy was
Arthur Metten and he is charged with
burglarizing the meat shop of 0. J.
Huxhold on North Milwaukee avenue,
on last Sunday morning. 1t is charged
that the Metten boy with considerable
skill, made his way into the place just
after ten O'Clock Sunday morning by
breaking open one of the front cellar
windows leading to the building. 1t is
claimed that the cash register was
opened and about dollar and a half
in small change taken and in addition
the proprietor of the place found
that a "picnic !" ham and some
sausage had been taken.
Young Metten, who has been under
the surveillance of the police before,
was arrested on Monday and when he
was quizzed by the officers he admit
ted knowledge of the burglary, but in
sisted that another boy had prompted
him to break into the place and had
shared in the profits of the burglary.
This boy was also picked up by the
police on a charge of burglary, but af-
ter a lengthy investigation this morn
ing District Attorney A. l.. Drury de-
clared that he was convinced that the
boy was not connected with the burg
larry. The witnesses against young
Metten are for the most part boys who
reside in the neighborhood of the
butcher shop. They declared that they
saw the boy as he left the meat shop.
Metten himself is decidedly bright for
his age and he told several stories in
regard to the burglary.
The fact that Metten formerly work
ed as an errand boy at the shop caused
suspicion to fall upon him. Huxlold
had closed up his place about ten
O'Clock Sunday morning and it is de
clared that the place was entered short
ly after this hour. Friends of young
Metten made strong plea for him
this morning and the hearing of the
case was laid over until this afternoon
to permit further questioning Of the
juvenile witnesses.

SHIELDS GIRL IN CONFESSION
Corrigan Had Told Police That Hand
some Ring Which Girl Turned Over
Had Been Lost As He Fled from
Dale Store on Night of Burglary.

That the arrest of Mike Corrigan on
charges of burglary brought to an end
a romance for one Kenosha girl at
least, was proven this morning when a
young lady of the city turned over to
the chief of police two handsome rings
which had been given to her by Corri-
gan. They were later identified as a
part of the loot taken from the Dale
/ store. One of them was a dinner ring
set in cameo and diamonds and the
other was solitaire diamond ring.
Chief of Police O'Hare refused to
give the name of the young woman.
This young woman had known Cor
rigan for only short time. He had
visited her on last Saturday night and
at that time had made her a present
of the two handsome rings said the
chief.
Was one of them an engagement
ring?" the chief was asked.
"I can It tell you that. The young
woman did not care to tell anything of
her relations with Corrigan more than
to say that he had always treated her
like a gentleman. She had known him
nearly all the time that he had been
in Kenosha. When she heard of the
arrest of Corrigan she hurried to advise
us that she had two rings which had
been presented to her by the burglar
and she turned them over without a
word. -
The two rings which were returned
to the Dale store this morning were
among the most valuable taken at the
time of the burglary. Corrigan was
evidently just bit regretful that the
police had discovered the little romance
which had connected itself with his
rather sordid life in Kenosha. While
ne had shown a willingness to be frank
with the officials, he had failed to men,
ton these two rings and he went away
to prison this morning without know
ing that the police had discovered the
girl = and that she had turned the
property over to be returned to it's
owner. The large cameo ring had been
one OF the ones most sought and after
his arrest Corrigan declared to the DO
lice that he had dropped this ring in a
sand pile near the Dale store when he
attempted to put it in his pocket.
Search had been made all about the
place but no sign of the ring was found.
Corrlgan is said to have paid marked
attentions to the Kenosha girl during
his three months stay in Kenosha and
the police believe that the solitaire
diamond ring had been given to her as
an engagement ring.
The young woman is forgetting all
about Corrigan now," said the chief
after he had returned the rings and it
is no business of ours to be letting her
secret out. !" She is said to live on the
west side of the city but the police
office declares that it has no record of
her street address.

Of course it is tradition that the
American baseball fan has a right to
lick the UMPIRE but most well regu-
lated communities have come to believe
that the baseball umpire has some
rights too and that the fellow who ticks
him is guilty of assault just the same
as any other man who slugs fellow
man. No one would consider a base
ball umpire human, but then, the de-
fectives must be taken care of just as
well as the other people.
