the laughing stock of the stable
governments Of the world.
Third. the laws that have been
enacted by the present adminis.
tration and The precedents that
have been established will prove
a blessing TO our people il they
are tried out. But it requires
time to adjust the business of an
institution. city. state or nation
TO new laws and conditions. no
matter how benign those condi-
lions and laws may he. Then. ii
the change back To republican
principles and policies al This
time means the stampeding and
disruption of these conditions in
the period of their formation and
development. no matter how Wise
these new policies NAV be i'm their
conception. it would strike a
severe blow al our nations pros
pprity. And if a change of ad-
ministration does not mean a
change of policy. ihere is no need
for change except TO sratify The
personal ambitions of another set
of politicians.
Every voter in this campaign
should ask himself to give an es-
sential reason. reason that will
satisfy our responsibility to the
American government and moi ia
the demands of amy political
party. why there should be a
change in the administration at
this time. w. NJ. WARD.

PROSPERITY DAY
Meeting at the Opera House Last Even
ing Addressed by VIM. F. Wolfe.

This is the occasion set apart for
Prosperity Day. The ball was set in
motion last night at the Grand opera
house. Arrangements had been made
by the committee to have an entertain
ment and an address by some promi
nent man of the state. VIM. F. Wolfe,
of Lacrosse, was selected as speaker
The program commenced at 7:15 with
a moving picture show, which was in
teresting and entertaining; among
other things showing the Yellowstone
river as it went tumbling over the two
great falls in that wonderful valley
The opera house was filled to its ut
most, from the orchestral pit to the
topmost seats in the gallery. When
the picture entertainment was over
the curtain was dropped and rose a
few moments later and upon the stage
were a large number of Wausau citi-
zenS and the speaker Of the evening.
S. B. Tobey made the opening address
saying many splendid things why we
should be happy and prosperous peo-
pie today, chief among them, that this
country was at peace with the world
He said prosperity did not mean just
the possession of money, for health and
contentment entered largely into con-
ditions of happiness. Mr.. Tobey closed
by introducing Mr.. Wolfe of Lacrosse.
Mr.. Wolfe is man of wide reputation
and he was given a very warm recep-
ton. He said that Messrs. A. H. Zim-
norman and T. H. Ryan had induced
him to come to Wausau to speak at
the Prosperity Day meeting, but he did
not realize the responsibility which
the promise carried with it, for he had
not expected to meet such a magnif-
cent audience nor had he made suffi-
Gent preparation for the enormity of
the occasion. He paid Wausau and it's
citizens a high tribute and said, among
other things, that Wausau's location,
its natural advantages and the push
and energy of its people made certain
for a larger, better and continually
growing city. He cOntrasted our
country with the warning countries of
Europe; the thought of being at peace.
which, we might reasonably rest as
Sured, was going to remain with us.
was enough over which to rejoice if
nothing else, but there was more than
that, prosperity was stalking abroad
in our land and it was only necessary
to extend a welcome hand He gave
some time to the labor conditions and
urged cooperation in it's fullest sense.
1t was a splendid talk worthy of the
occasion.
The presiding officer, S. B. Tobey,
made a few closing remarks and the
meeting came to a close.

MIR. AND MRS. r. III. JAMES

Mr.. and Mrs. Rupert H. James have
now severed their home connections
in Wausau, Mr.. James having gone to
Mason City, Ia, month or more ago.
He has been back to see to the pack
ing of his household goods prepara-
tory to moving to his new quarters.
Mrs. James departed Thursday eve
ming, going to Chicago, where she met
Mr.. James and for a few days visited
Lulu James Abercrombie, Mr.. James
sister. From there they went to their
new home in Iowa. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. James will be sadly missed from
Wausau. They have for years been
very active workers in our community.
Mr.. James who possesses a splendid
bass voice was ever willing to give
his services when called upon, and he
was associated with many good works.
They were members of the NJ E.
church, entering into all activities of
the church. Mrs. James was super
intendent of the Cradle roll of that
church and represented it on the board
of Federated Charities. She was
force in the Children's infirmary work
and in the work of the Anti-Tubercu-
losis association in Wausau; she was
also a prominent member of the
Ladies' Literary club. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. and Mrs. James will come back to
Wausau some day and make this city
their permanent home.
