We don't need that in the

What we do need, is, fairer scale of taxa
ton for the country people, with the full
value given of the money they pay; we need
schools that are absolutely. free, with the free
books to 60 with them, and no extras in the
shape of fees, or material"
Given this, and good roads, the country
child will have less need for uplift work, than
Will the child of the overcrowded towns and
cities where the percentage of native born is
less than one third.
Illiteracy and pauperism go hand in hand;
with the average foreigner, this country is,

The second generation runs more to

land, live like lord and be satisfied to live
as their forebears did.
We are told that at the close of the pres

Of immigrants from every part of War-ridden
Europe. Even as it is. the gates of Ellis
Island in New York have not been closed for
the lack of people seeking new homes, and if
the influx is what we are promised then it
Is quite likely every State in the Union will
need all the "uplift" laws it can get written
into its statute book.
In the meanwhile if we lower the taxes for
the country man, give him good roads, free
schools and free school books for his children,
it is quite likely he will look after the balance,
and may contribute dollar or two toward
the uphft of his less fortunate states.
William Rockefeller never seems to suffer
in health sufficiently to keep him from max

needed for something the Government is "in-

danger his life, and presumably add wads
and scads Of money to his doctors bills.
II the indictments against the two former
United States Congressman are founded on
facts, in the matter of assisting Germany to
blow up American munition plants, then it
would seem time for revamping of some of
the old laws against treachery.
Memphis, Tennessee, after being held up as
the most horrible of horrible examples, in the

the Baltimore papers, we say fearlessly, "Bal-

Captain BoyEd in taking his departure,
declared that there will be no war between

ROTARY CLUB

The Wausau Rotary club held its
regular semi-monthly dinner at the
Wausau club yesterday noon. At the
close President d. G. Everest called
upon A. H. Zimmerman and Roman
Deutsch for the reports of the 1916
annual convention of the Information
al Association of Rotary clubs, which
was held in Cincinnati the week of
July 1920. These gentlemen covered
different phases of the great conven-
ton very thoroughly.
There were 209 clubs represented
by 500 voting delegates, including 10
in Canada, one in England and one in
Havana, Cuba. In addition to the reg
ulr delegates there were 5000 Rotar-
ians and their ladies registered. Arch
c.. Klumph of Cleveland, Ohio, was
elected president. The 1917 meeting
will be held at Atlanta, Ca, perhaps in
May. One of the very pleasant events
of the convention was spending a day
at Dayton, Ohio, on the invitation OF
the Rotary club of that city.
Interesting talks were made by Wis
itors, viz: A. r. Sharer, of Hartford
Conn.,, one of the officers of the Trav-
elers Insurance Co., and Walter G
Rid, brother of A. H. Reid, who is
visiting in the city.
An invitation was extended the club
by Rotarian M. G. Ewing, to breakfast
with him at his farm home on Sun
day morning, which was unanimously
accepted.

RETURNED FROM THE MEETING
Communicated

Communicated
j. I'll. koehler, member of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Wisconsin
Ginseng Growers association, has re-
turned from attending the summer
session OF the Michigan State associa-
ton of Ginseng Growers. Some i'm
portant business was transacted.
Among other things, a movement was
started towards forming a national
organization for the purpose of CO.
operating in the selling of ginseng
and goldenseal so that all ginseng
and goldenseal produced in the United
States is offered and sold through one
central point direct to the exporters
1t is expected that by this method of
marketing better and more uniform
prices can be obtained by the growers.
The present system of individual sell
ing has proved to be unsatisfactory
for, while, according to government
statistics, the production of ginseng
has decreased and the export price
has steadily increased, the price paid
to the growers has steadily decreased,
so that the gap between the export
price of ginseng and the price paid
the growers has gotten to be between
$500 and $500 per pound. The govern
ment statistics show for instance that
the average price paid for ginseng eX-
ported for the fiscal year ending June,
1915, was $S.91 per pound, while as
near as can be aScertained the grow
erS did not receive to exceed an aver
age of $3.50 to $500 per pound. The
difference between the price paid the
growers and the export price reported
by the government has gone to a herd
of middlemen, and the growers have
decided that they can no longer afford
a luxury of this kind and that by CO.
operation in the selling of their pro-
duct, they can eliminate this herd of
middlemen and save for themselves
the profit that justly belongs to them.
A meeting will be held at Chicago the
first Tuesday in November by dele
cation composed of Representatives
from the different state associations
and ginseng growing localities where
no such association exists, for the pur-
pose of devising the most practical
form of an organization for the grad
ing and selling of ginseng and golden
seal, preparing incorporation papers,
formulating bylaws, and submitting
the same to their respective associa-
tons for approval at the earliest pos
sible date.
Mr.. Koehler represents some of the
largest ginseng and goldenseal gar
dens in the country and was largely
instrumental in the movement of CO.
operation in marketing this product.

| George ]. Knoller, who is employed
| as druggist in Bangor, Wis, came up
| for the druggists convention at Wau-
sau, and visit for a few days at
home. He returned Wednesday to
| join an auto party for few days out
ing before returning to work.
Prof. Willard, who is president of
| Kansas University, visited the past
week at Smoky Hill farm, guests of
| Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Jones, while on his
way home from the northern lakes.
| Mrs. Jones, prior to her marriage, was
| for four years one of the faculty of
| above university.
John Roll, who had been employed
as fireman at the saw mill here ever
since VIM. Buch of Cedarsburg in
stalled same died few days ago in
| hospital in Milwaukee, where he was
advised to go, by his attending physi-
clan, DR.. Butler of Mosinee, to be
| treated for a carbuncle he had on his
back. Mr.. Roll had many friends
here who are very sorry to hear of
| his death.
Several large land owners in the
Dancy Drainage district were here
| the past week from Peoria, ILL., They
were very enthusiastic over the con-
ditions in the district. The blasting of
| the channel of the Little Eau Pleine
river the past year lowered the water
level four feet and has effected first
| class drainage. Especially the won
| derful hay crop, both tame and wild,
on the drained lands satisfied them
| that hay and stock, both milk and
| feeders were the proper things to go
after Several of the land owners
have tried stock and they thrive and
| grow fat ON the wild grass, and hold
| their milk supply, especially in dry
weather, much better than ON tame
| pastures. These gentlemen expect
another year to put on several hun
dred feeders.
G. G. Knoller and family were the
guests Sunday of H. M. Jones and
wife, Nellie Kedzie Jones, at Smoky
| Hill farm, where was formerly Rice
| lake. Where Mr.. Jones fine buildings
now stand, no doubt, the Indians spent
| many pleasant days in the years gone
| by. Mr.. Jones has been feeding cattle
| largely, having them shipped in from
| st. Paul, but he is now having one of
| his large barns remodeled into first
| class dairy barn, firm from Fort
| Atkinson having the contract. Mr..
Jones also specializes in thorough
| bred hogs-Poland China, and white
| Leghorn chickens, and in all, it is one
of the most interesting places in the
| country to spend day. Mr.. Jones
| and nephew, Jack Kedzie, a young
| Chicago attorney and a graduate of
| Yale college, own 1900 acres in the
| Dancy drainage district. Mr.. Jones
/ being one of the commissioners, and
| they feel that the district has Won
/ derful possibilities for stock men.
| Mrs. Jones spends quite little of
| her time lecturing at bankers and
| other conventions of note all over
! the United States. She contributes
| articles to the Ladies' Home Journal,
| and twice a month to the Country
| Gentleman, under the nom de plume
| as Aunt Nellie She has a rare col
| lection of pictures of leading artists
| that were given her on her European
| tours, and many articles of interest
| that she has as souvenirs from her
| many other tours.

Another Railroad Mystery.

II has been we'll said that one advantage
corporation enjoys is that II has neither soul to
save nor body to kick. When several of these
cEn conceal themselves behind another incor-
poreal and still more diaphanous body, register
ing their will through Joint agency they have
thus created this advantage is immensely in
creased. Such body is the Western Passenger
association through whose operations the rail-
roads entering Omaha have practiced dscrim-
ipation against this city in the matter OF rates
and stop-over privileges for many years All
the lines entering Omaha are members Of this
association. and as they constitute the leading
and most influential part of its membership.
the thought is natural that what they object tc
will not be permitted. It is reasonable, there
fcre. to conclude that they willingly acquiesce
in the practices from which Omaha continually
suffers.
1t is not alone in passenger concessions that
Kansas City Is favored to the disadvantage OF
Omaha. The Bee recently published list OF
freight rates. showing how less is charged for a
longer haul on grain that Is diverted from the
local market to the favored one further down
the river. The discrimination, so open and SO
fiagrant, has been vigorously but unayailingly
protested against. until the railroads are forti-
fled in It by the inaction of Omaha people
Every railroad agent in Omaha will Join in
local complaints against an obvious injustice,
but not one will take steps to remedy II. II
| gets back then merely TO the question how Ions
Omaha will submit to the unfair treatment &C.
corded It by the great railroad lines that con-
verge here.

An imperative object Lesson.

A very interesting illustration OF one phase
Of popular government is afforded by the list
OF filings of aspirants for public office as pub
lished in The Bee. These include only those
the law requires to be made at the office Of the
secretary Of state. but in themselves make q
most imposing array. II the full list Of all who
have filed with the county clerks throughout
the state were published at the same time, 2
most impressive object lesson would be pre-
sented. One OF the principal results OF the
primary election law has been to bring the
active candidates out into the open. 1t is pot
at all likely that the law has inspired longing
for office where IL did not exist before but
many who previously aspired TO serve the peo-
pie did not get very far when it came to facing
a convention. When the showing Is multiplied
by all the states in the union. some idea OF the
extent of the business Of governing the country
may be acquired. Whether the world is gov
erned too much doesn't matter in this connec-
tion. The point is that plenty OF willing volun-
teers will always be on hand, ready to under
take the service OF doing the governing.
