Letters Reaching White House and

almost identical expression is con-

the White House and Capitol as ex-
PLANTATION of President Wilson's strength
in the presidential campaign now about
to start.
That idea is so universal In the po-
litical correspondence of the day reach

ers as of immense significance.
At about this stage of every presi-
Dental year the voters in Me states

their opinions of the outlook and pre-

Gratifying to Democrats.
The unanimity of the writer's in the
opinion that the country will support
President Wilson in November because
he has kept us out Of war; is intensely
gratifying to democrats generally and to
President Wilson personally.
1t is related that President Wilson
feels keen satisfaction over the ap-
prevail of his course in Mexico and in
European affairs. He always has be-
lieved that majority of the people
of the country supported him in his
attitude toward Germany and in the
demands he has made upon the allies.
When he tackled the Mexican problem
following the Columbus affair and later
the battle at Carrizal. he did so with
misgivings, 1t is said. as to whether
the country. inf1amed over the numer-
Gus Mexican outrages. would approve
consistent efforts to prevent war. He
knew that many people who were
strongly inclined toward keeping out OF
the European muddle were not so peace
fully disposed toward Mexico. They
thought that the Mexicans deserved the
strong hand rather than continued toler-
ance. In several speeches he declared
that regardless of his own political fu-
ture he would endeavor to prevent bat
ties in Mexico. The tone Of these
speeches was regarded as expressing a

List of Waste Problems Available,

The wood waste exchange was estab-
lished by the forest service in 1914 1t
consists of two lists of manufacturers,
which are sent out quarterly to persons
desiring them.
One of these is of opportunities to
sell waste" and contains the names OF
firms which use sawdust and small
pieces of wood. The list is sent to
plants having waste for sale. The other
is of opportunities to buy waste
and gives the names Of concerns which
have waste TO dispose of This list is
sent to firms which wish to buy mate
rial
There is no charge for the service,
and any manufacturer who wishes to
have his name added to either list can
do so by writing to the forest service,

exchange has proved effective

WOOD WASTE EXCHANGE
NOW EXTENSIVELY USED

Extensive use by lumbermen and
woodworking factories of the wood
waste exchange conducted by the
forest service is reported by officials
who have Just completed a short field
study to determine the extent to which
the opportunities. offered are being
taken advantage of. Only a small
per cent of the total number of con-
Germs listed were visited. but a COM
paratively large number were found
to have benefited by the exchange
Makers of wooden novelties, it is
said, have been particularly successful
in finding supplies of materials near
their plants. Other woodworking in
dustries have been able to dispose of
their waste at higher prices than they
could otherwise have obtained. Many
of the firms were located within short
distances of each other, but until re-

Vertical Hand Writing.

We are glad to note that most
schools are abolishing the vertical
system of penmanship. 1t was al
ways ugly looking and we never could
understand why our public schools
ever left the flowing beautiful slant
and round full letter of the Spencer
ian character When the vertical sys-
tenn was installed in the Grand Rapids
schools the writer was onthe school
board and we opposed it then and al
ways have thought there was nothing
about it to commend itself. We are
glad it's going out of all schools. The
students who are now using the YER
teal style can hardly write a decent
legible hand that can be easily de-
ciphered. Get rid of it.

massacred, and we write diplomatic
notes to him about it! The situation
in which the American nation finds it.
self is almost a national crime.
Washington's incompetency to deal
with the Mexican muddle is daily COM
ing out more plainly. Washington asks
Carranza for the facts about the Car
rial affair Carranza replies that the
Mexican troops fired by his order
that was all. And thus the admins
tration is being hemmed in, with no
place to go, except to war.
But, though faced with war, we are
not ready for it. For three years the
storm has been rising, yet congress
has made no preparations to meet it
The incompetency in Washington is
far-reaching. For example, there arc
no machine guns for the National
Guard, and very few for the army
Chicago wanted to buy twenty to SEND
with her troops. The only way to get
them was to have the government com.
mandeer some of those being made
for Europe But when the govern.
ment was asked to take this action
it replied that when the United States
wanted guns, it would get them.
1t is this cheap incompetency tha
is making the people anxious to ge
hold of the administration; to get
the army on a basis of ordinary pre-
paredness; not to send our boys int
camps that are insanitary and with
out the protection of proper modern
weapons and artillery.
We have no army. We shall have
none, even after the militia goes tt
the front, until it has been trained ant
seasoned. We haven't even an aero
plane to send over the border to SCI
what the Mexicans are doing. We haC
che, but we broke the propeller the
other day, and must wait till new
propeller can be made.
Can you beat it for asininity?

CLUB MEETS

Mrs. J. E. Normington was charm
ing hostess to the Fortnightly club at
her home in Biron on Thursday after
noon. A delightful afternoon was
devoted to the popular game of Fridge
at the conclusion of which Mrs. Geo.
F. La Bour received the first favor for
playing high and Mrs. A. C. Otto re-
ceived second favor. The home was
prettily decorated in peonies and ros-
es, a profusion ofthem being used
throughout the home. The motif car
ried out was in pink. Dainty refresh
ments were served at the close of card
playing. Mrs. D. D. Conway, Mrs.
Sayles and Mrs. James Hamilton were
guests of the club.

Too little has been said about the
sef-sacrifcing and patriotic devotion
to principle exhibited by Senator Otto
Bosshard of La Crosse at the Progress
sive Republican conference at Madi-
son, which named Senator w. H.
Hatton the candidate for Governor.
Senator Bosshard expected to contest
the nomination with Governor McGov-
ern but when the latter left Madison
on the morning of the meeting and
refused to submit his candidacy to
the judgment of the delegates. Mr..
Bosshard voluntarily withdrew his
candidacy. He had a host of friends
at the conference and the first ballot
indicates that he might easily have
made strong showing had he con-
scented to accept their proffered sup
port. lie urged his friends, IN the In
terest of harmony, to support some
third party, one on whom the friends
of both the former candidates could
unite, but he refused to express his
personal preference, saying he would
support the choice of the conference.
This act of unselfshness and de
yotion to the success of the cause in
which he enlisted nearly two decades
ago, indicates the caliber of this splen-
did man. 1t is of such as he that
statesmen and protriots aremade.
When, in the future, a dependable
leader is needed, Senator Otto Boss
hard will be called and the devotees
Of Progressivism will not question his
loyalty or his leadership.
