done in building dixie on the Wiscon-
sin river to protect the lower bridge
and other property.

site on which to construct an iron
grinding plant, under certain condi-
tions the property to be decided to him
after five years, provided conditions
were fulfilled. He says the plant will
employ fifteen hands.
The board of directors of the Far
mers Cooperative Packing company

A JUST REBUKE

Editor Pilot
1t may be newspaper ethics; the up
to-date way of giving the news, to
publish broadcast any of the little
Wrong-doings of our young boys and
girls. The Record-Herald believes it
is the thing to do, and that news
paper is back number that fails to
publish and name the offender. I
think, and am sure l am with 80 per
cent OF our population that it is
not the thing to do. 1t is a dis
eased mind that thinks otherwise. Who
OF us in our lives, have not done MANY
things that would probably subject
us to fine in court, or if published,
would not be a blot on ones name
through life? On several occasions
the daily RecOrd-Herald has taken
occasion to publish the names of young
people who have been mixed up in lit
tie affairs, which did not amount to
shucks, as I say, leaving blot on the
name of a young person which will
remain. And this has been done re-
gardless of the pleadings of parents.
There are times, we will agree, that
such publication is called for, such
as in the case of old and hardened
offenders; but with the young who
have previously borne good reputa-
tiOnS it is reprehensible, if not con-
temptlDle.
The writer has in mind, and it is the
reason for this communication, the
publication in the Record-Herald last
Tuesday, charging a certain young
man, who attends the high school, and
who formerly lived in Oshkosh, with
having given away the football signals
of the Wausau High school to the Osh-
kosh team. While his name was not
published, everybody knew who it was.
The article called the young man a
traitor and further said that eff
thoughts had power to kill, the young
man who is guilty would have to
have at least eleven lives to escape
total annihilation." These are serious
things to say about young man. And,
think of it, this would-be censor of
public doings, this journalistic SER
pent that tries to cover the young with
its slime, had to come out and apoli-
gize the next day, saying that the
young man had been exhonorated and
that he had not given away the Wau-
sau football teams signals to the Osh-
kOsh team. Oh, what a tumble from
the lofty pinnacle of self-conceit! Still
the slime of the serpent is still upon
the young man. Apologies will not
help the wrong done. 1t should be

ROTARY CLUB BANQUET

Last Thursday evening at $50
o'clock a Rotary club banquet was
held at Cyrus Yawkey hall. Sixty
Rotarians sat down to an excellent
repast served by the Ladies' society
of the Universalist church. At the con-
clusion of the supper S. B. Tobey pre-
sided in the absence of D. C. Everest,
| president of the club, and introduced
Ford MacGregor, assistant professor
in charge of the Municipal Reference
Bureau Extension of the University of
Wisconsin, who gave an excellent ad-
dress on "City Government and the
Business Man." The speaker gave
those present many. things to think
of along the lines of municipal gov
ernment, and he stated very emphati-
cally that it all depended with the
business men of city whether they
had live, progressive economical rule
or otherwise according to the interest
taken by those men. Mr.. Mac
Gregor gave mass of statistics show
ing the great cost of municipal gov
ernments; how there was increased
demand for everything which goes to
make city healthy, prosperous and
"AtilOOt OH duC4OdIC sup
ply of good water, and efficient fire,
health, police, educational and other
departments, a city could not expect
to grow-people as rule would To-
cate in city where it's officials and
people gave attention to efficiency in
all departments. He laid great stress
upon good roads leading at least ten
miles from a city. Good roads mean
moreto city than factories; they would
bring farmers in from all directions
to trade and to dispose of their pro-
Cucts. He told of many things which
could be done to build up city and
usually by few hustling determined
men. He cOmplimented our city on
its Rotary club. Mr.. MacGregor spoke
for over an hour and he instilled in
all greater spirit for better condi-
tions in municipal affairs.
AT the close he was given rising
vote of thanks for his excellent ad-
dress
During Mr. MacGregor's stay in the
city he was taken in hand by our
Mayor and several of our citizens and
given an automobile ride around Wau-
sau and into the country to see some
Of our farms and farm buildings.

THE HUNTING SEASON

The deer hunters of Wausau are
getting ready for the open season,
which commences on the 18th of No
vember. The Deerfoot Hunting club
has its headquarters on Lake Laura
placed in readiness, and its members
are looking forward to a season of
pleasure. The deer in the Wisconsin
woods are becoming more plentiful
under the present stringent state laws.
A hunter now is limited to one deer
and that one must be a buck. The
killing of a doe subjects the hunter
to heavy fine. PREPARATIONS are be-
ing made by more than usual to go
on the warpath.

be doomed to be in the midst of mud

there is a slight depression in the
newly paved street which leaves quite

er depression which makes another
puddle of considerable dimensions
The gutter on the west side of the
post office is about all a mud-puddle
There is no way for the water to es-
cape under present conditions. Some
thing should be done to get rid Of these
unsightly places.

for Wausau and then discussed the
aims of his party; claiming that it
had the best labor laws and the most
humane provisions for women and
children; likened the postoffice to the
beef trust and that all big combina-
tions of capital could be owned and
operated by the people as advantage
ously as the mail carrying business.
He talked on many other subjects in
reference to his party, winding up
with condemnation of the present war
trade prosperity, the old parties and
the adoption of the Socialistic slogan
Feed America First" instead of the
people in the warning countries of
Europe. Mr.. Hoan was honored with

well. If we could just find one such

would make their owners rich.

BUDDHIsT SUNDAY SCHOOLS

The Buddhists of Japan have been
greatly aroused by the success of the
Christian Sunday schools, which have
been stimulated to activity through
the plans for the next Worlds Sunday
School Convention in that country. In
the last two years there has been an
increase of S9S Christian Sunday
schools in Japan, with an added en-
rolment of>41,753 students.
To offset this Christian advance, the
Buddhist at the time of the corona
ton of the Emperor, dedicated a sum
of money. said to be a million yen, for
the organization, of Sunday schools.
The abbott of West Hongwanji tenn
pie issued the order for this Buddhist
Sunday school movement having as
its objective the organization of one
new Sunday school every day. Before
the coronation there were only seventy
Buddhist Sunday schools. BY Decem-
ber, 1915, there were $50, with ILL.,
600 children, an increase of 610 Sun
day schools in two months. BY April.
1916, the number had reached 500,
with 10000 children. The hope is to
reach 1900 schools and a registra-
ton of 22S,0O0 by April, 1917.-The

and interesting interview with Wis
count Kaneko, one of the leading
statesmen of Japan. He is at present
member of the Privy Council of
which Prince Yamagata is now presi-
dent, though Viscount Kaneko held
that position from 1888 to 1890.
He hoped that / was not unduly
praising the Japanese, feeling that
such an attitude was not that of the
truest friendship.
Every nation has its faults" he
said; and unless a writer admits
faults in those whom he describes, his
readers know he is not stating facts,
but trying to prove something or to
confuse his readers. / am very care
rul in speaking of Americans not to
overlook their faults, but that makes
the more forceful my statements of
their frankness, straightforwardness
charity and altruism. The Japanese
respect and like the American people
IN spite OF the scalawags that are
found there"
"Scalawag'' is a faverite word WITH
tho Viscount. When 1t is not an Am
erieen 5caiawag 1t is Japanese
scaiawag. Mr., Kaneko Is not given
to slang, but fsealawag'' is an i'm
perta.nt word in his vocabulary. -

JApAN,s NAVAL MIGHT

AT tho great naval review held in
Toxic Bay recently before the Emper-
or of Japan, eighty-four vessels with
an aggregate of 467.572 tons partici-
pated. They ranged from the super
dreadnaught Fuso Of 10000 tons,
through battleships, battle-cruisers,
cruisers, destroyers and submarines to
seaplanes. The Emperor with five
hundred guests was on board the
cruiser Tsukuba. First the great fleet,
vessel by vessel. passed in review be-
fore the Emperor's ship, each firing
as she passed an Imperial salute,
while the submarines rose from the
sea and three seaplanes circled on
high. Then the vessels ranged them
selves in the familiar manner on each
side of a long lane through which the
Emperor's craft slowly steamed. 1t
furnished a splendid spectacle. The
Japan Advertiser notes editorially the
progressive growth of the navy of
Nippon during recent years:
